Ink POV
Geno has asked if we could watch Goth for the day. The kids seventeen I don't think he needs watching but we agreed anyway.
And my two thirteen year olds, well, Pj was just excited to hang out with an 'almost adult' they called him.
Gradient just wanted to lay in bed and mole around with Error. I decided to take him to Dream and Blue's instead.
And when I asked he just held my hand and walked with me.
"Inky! Oh we're so glad you came! We have something important to ask." Blue said upon answering the door.
He sat me down and Gradient just put on his headphones and drew on his tablet I assume listening to music.
Dream and Blue whispered to each other.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"W-well... you know that power where you can make anything real..?" Dream asked.
"Yes?" I replied.
"Well... we were wondering if... you could maybe... draw us a kid and, y'know, make him real."
Gradient looked at me. I shrugged.
"Well I... I don't know. I'd have to see if Error is ok with that I mean... it'd take a few days depending on the kids soul type his code, his personality, his- his appearance." I said.
Blue sat next to me.
"Inky please! It'd be a huge favor to us..."
"Like I said I'd have to ask Error. I mean he's the one whose got the souls and coding."
They sighed.
"Ok. Thank you." Dream said, covering Blue's mouth.
We stayed for a few more minutes and then decided to go home. Error's getting worried I can feel it.
When we got there he was just having a panic attack in the corner while Pj and Goth pretty much screamed playing video games.
Gradient put his hood over his head and went to his room. I sighed.
"Boys, please keep the screaming low." I asked.
"Oh, sorry ma." Pj said.
The screaming stopped. I sat by Error and rested my head on his shoulder. He pulled me onto his lap and held me.
I smiled and decided I'd tell them of Dream and Blue's favor when he's calmed.
I checked his arms. He didn't notice. Blood. Fresh blood. He cut. Recently. When? I can't leave him alone can I? I knew I shouldn't have stopped following him.
He didn't notice that I even saw it. He just hugged me tighter. I got up and began taking away everything sharp. Needles, knives, anything. I put them somewhere safe. Not the closet this time.
Somewhere Error couldn't go without me. The doodlesphere.
I went to check on Gradient. He was silently crying with his headphones on, shaking. Stars he looks so much like Error right now.
I quietly walked over to him. He was whimpering the poor dear.
Gently, I placed my hand on his shoulder. He jumped but saw me and sighed. He hugged me.
"I thought you were Pj for a minute. I don't want him to see me like this." He said.
"Aunt Ink! Need your help!" Goth called, he seemed frantic.
I sighed. Not a moment of peace. It's ok. It's all for the kids.
"I'll be right back sweetheart." I said.
"Ok mama."
I rushed to Pj and Goth. They were both soaking wet, covered in water.
"What the... what happened!?" I asked.
"Indoor water ballon fight." Pj answered.
I tried to smile. They're only trying to have fun. Error was asleep on the couch. Ok, everything seems to be fine right now.
I gave them a change of clothes and then Fresh walks in. Great. More to deal with. I mean yay, Fresh. Always good to see family.
Error POV
Ink woke me up and hugged me. Goth was gone and Pj and Gradient were watching tv and apparently Fresh was to.
"Can we go for a walk?" She asked quietly.
I nodded.
"Ok, we'll be back. Fresh, you hurt my kids I take your soul."
I took Inky wherever she wanted to go. Today it was calming. She and I just talked like we used to. She still looked exhausted. And yet, she seems so content.
We sat down in a quiet space. She laid her head on my shoulder and hugged my arm.
"It's been a long day for you Huh?" I asked.
She just smiled at me.
"It wasn't to bad. How are you feeling right now?" She answered.
"Well, I'm with you. I feel perfectly calm."
She nodded and looked down. She told me about Dream and Blue's favor. I told her that I'd be willing only if she was.
She said she was, so I agreed to help.
