I've decided to Update this chapter since the original sounded rushed and didn't exactly get the feel i was going for so I hope no one minds.
I'll try not to update chapters in the future but the first couple will probably have a few updates here in there though it won't be any extreme changes to the story just extra details.
anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter.
Ink Opened a bottle of green paint with a light pop sitting back to lean on his friend with a soft chuckle, his eyes dancing from their normal shapes too big yellow and blue stars "Heyyyy EEErrror" Ink waited a second before speaking up again knowing Error wouldn't answer him "This painting is going to be truly POP-tacular" Error groaned before turning back to face him with a smile "not even you can paint over how bad that was"
Ink laughed turning back around dipping his fingers in the paint expecting a light green while putting his fingers on the ground and drawing a line only to find the paint was black. Ink froze for a minute before looking down at his chest watching as yet another color went gray. It was the third one this week and with every graying color, he lost more emotions, like pieces of him where being stolen.
The first signs of something being wrong where back when he and Error had first made there truce, Ink had fought Error for the last time and almost lost everything before finally after years of fighting be-Friending the black skeleton and coming to an agreement. The first colors that Ink had noticed to be something wrong with where Blue and Violet after two weeks blue had completely faded, purple a week later taking those emotions with them.
As of recent some of the more important colors to Ink had been fading such as orange and yellow, he couldn't let them fade no matter what, the colors that had kept him happy for so long, colors that were the only reason he was able to be-friend Error in the first place.
"Hey, Error..."
"What." Error was sitting to the side of ink partly leaning on him as he made yet another doll weaving through every stitch carefully watching the strings fade to the proper colors with care as he stitched them in place, Error kept his head down focusing on what he was doing not fazed by Ink's sudden upspeak. It happened often where he would bounce from one subject to the next without a second thought so it was natural to him at this point.
"Are you ever happy?" Ink spoke without any emotion in his voice-starring down at the vials strapped across his chest mentally counting how many had now gone gray.
"Not really, I'm Still adjusting." Error didn't think about the question still focusing at the task at hand barely noticing the sudden drop in Ink's tone.
"Does destroying Au's make you happy..?" Error sat up from his slouching position, a bit surprised by the question, dropping his hands and doll in his lap then picking it up again squeezing them slightly not quite sure what to say.
"yeah I guess, what the hell does that mean anyway. there's no need to bring that up. what? are you trying to start shit or are you just implying something?!" Error suddenly felt a rage burn within him causing a slight increase in glitch as he spoke.
"Would you have destroyed me?" Ink watched as yet another vial went gray almost on queue.
"HA! what is this some kind of joke!? You've got a really messed up sense of humor, hell yeah without you there'd be no more AU's and I could get rid of those ridiculous anomalies without anyone to stop me it'd be heaven-"
Error cut himself off realizing what he had just said. Turning slightly to face Ink suddenly feeling guilty "Look... i- im sorry I took that to far" looking up for a response only to be met with Ink's almost dead expression, dropping his doll in the process. Ink was trembling slightly, tightly curling himself in a ball with his knees to his face looking up at Error. using his one hand to hold himself together and the other to hold the gray vials once filled with life and color. His hands where trembling smeared with black paint along with the ground in front of him, his paintbrush slightly thrown to the side.
Error was taken aback by Inks emotionless expression, though he would never say it, it terrified him seeing Ink with such a bare tone. Not once had he seen his friend in such a state of chaos, not even in near-death experiences or even after he took everything from him.
the expressions in Ink's eyes had disappeared and for the first time ever since Error knew ink his pupils had disappeared leaving his sockets completely black. Error sat in horror trying to think of a way to respond mumbling out a "are you okay" but finding he couldn't speak instead clasping Inks face in his hands before soon moving away again as Ink's pupils came back to reveal two red x's instead of his regular blue and yellow colors.
"You're always taking it for granted! The creators! The AU's! YOUR SOUL!" Ink stood up whipping the vials across the void almost hitting Error not even flinching at the loud crash the breaking glass caused. "You say that your never happy but i don't think you even understand what its like to not even be able to feel anything!" Ink was now standing before Error still slightly shaking while he yelled not even noticing Errors slight change in demeanor signaling that he was going to crash.
It was only after a loud beep filled the void that Ink stopped his pupils returning to normal standing before his friend watching as he dropped the dolls he had just made and began to glitch.
Ink starred in silence at the dolls as loud beeps and glitched words filled the void looking at the two newly made dolls of himself and Error.
