Heya! So, I thought since I get ideas for little one shots frequently, I could simply make a collection of them! If you have Ideas or requests, don't hesitate to write me! R&R please :)
Ever heard of Error not doing stupid things? Well, me neither! So this short one shot isn't about that! Starring Error and Fresh! Have fun ;)
Errors April Fools Day Joke
Error grinned while knitting the rope. Today was April the first or also known as April fools day and Error was planning to scare the hell out of the one who would come to his room to try and wake him up.
He hoped it would be his Mum, Geno or Ink since Fresh would only laugh or ask stupid questions. He had gotten the idea from a horror movie so it just had to be scary. The plan was rather easy. Just knot the strings into rope and hang himself up like the woman in the horror movie did. Of course he wasn't so dumb to believe that she only hung from one rope, she surely must have knotted one around her torso as well, it would probably hurt otherwise.
As such he had been knotting for this joke since yesterday, making sure that no one saw him do that. He didn't want to spoil the fun after all. He had also already put green hair dye into his mothers shampoo, had drawn onto inks face with permanent markers while he slept (his mother had to go oversee and couldn't take him with her so he was staying with them for now), he had hidden Genos favorite stuffed animal and sewn all of Fresh's caps together. This was the last joke to prepare.
A smirk rose on errors face as he fastened the rope on the ceiling. He stood on a chair, knotted the rope around his belly and put his head into the sling. Then he pushed himself of the chair.
Fresh was always up before anybody else in the house. The extra energy that he had did that to him. So when he heard a quiet sound from errors bedroom, he decided to wake Error first instead of Geno, which was where he was headed previously. His Mum would need the extra sleep so he wouldn't wake her. Silently he headed to Errors Bedroom and opened the door. What he found wasn't what he anticipated. Error hung from the ceiling, his strings tied to a rope and his eye sockets empty. For a moment, not a sound was heard. The world stood still.
Meanwhile the other occupants were on different stages of waking. Ink was already trying to scrub at the permanent marker with his scarf after having seen himself in the glass of one of the cupboards. Geno was sleepily trying to wake up and see why Fresh hadn't woken him up jet, or at least tried to. CQ was sleeping soundly after punching her alarm clock so hard it ceased to function.
Back to Errors bedroom though, Error sighed in disappointment. Of course it had to be Fresh who would come in first. Curse his luck. Untangling his rope and dropping to the floor, Error expected the usual. What he wasn't expecting was a pain blooming on his face as a fist met his eye socket. He fell on the floor, hand automatically going over the hurting eye socket. He could only stare at Fresh silently, who had crossed the room in a second and punched him. PUNCHED HIM. Error was fairly sure that that was the first time he had actually hit some one. Breaking out of his stupor, anger pooled in his stomach. How dare that freak actually hurt him?! He opened his mouth to scream at him but Fresh beat him to it. "What. The heck. Were. You. Thinking?! Have you gone mad?! Is that your Idea of an April fools joke? Do you even know what you did just now, do you understand?" Fresh was shaking. He couldn't help it. For one second he thought that... that error...that they had failed him. And it hurt, it hurt so much and he didn't understand- And then Error was on the floor scoffing about the failed joke and he just couldn't take it. How could he?! He didn't understand!
"What...? It was just a jump scare. Like in the horror movies. Whats with you?"
He didn't know, didn't understand the implications of hanging from the ceiling in a noose and fresh didn't know if he should follow the strange new feeling or not. Since the feeling wants him to hit error again and scream, he decides to calm down and let that feeling go. It worked out okay.
"Dude. Bro. Broski. Do you know what suicide is? Cause what you did is one of the favorite ways for unradical people to go, and if anyone had seen that, it would have broken their radical hearts, ya understand me Error-brah?" Fresh answers. Error freezes. He hadn't known, of course he hadn't. He never meant to hurt anyone, only to scare. Looking up to Fresh, he notices he is still shaking. Why is he shaking? He doesn't care.
"Fresh. Give me your glasses."
He didn't know why he was trying this. It was something Geno was trying frequently and it always failed. As Fresh gave him his Glasses, he really didn't expect a different outcome. He didn't expect the small little purple drops at the edge of Fresh's eyes.
Fresh didn't know why he was still shaking. It didn't make sense yet the image of Error hanging from the ceiling, eyes empty and dead replayed again and again and again. He couldn't really concentrate only on the conversation at hand, so as Error requested his Glasses, he gave it no second thought. Geno requested them often after all. It was just when the air actively hit his eyes, that he noticed that he had tears in his eyes. Tears because of that picture, because of those eyes. Because he thought for a second that error was dead. The tears began to leak from his eyes at the thought. He lifted his arms, his hands going to his eyes instinctively to hide the tears? Catch them?
Stop them? He didn't know, didn't care at the moment. His shaking worsened, his legs gave out and soon he was sitting across error on the floor who still held his glasses with a shocked expression.
Fresh cares, he cries, echoed in Errors head followed by... its my fault. I did that. I hurt him. What should i do, oh god what do i do?... so he did what he thought was best and slowly drew Fresh into a hug, haphephobia be damned. "I- I'm... sorry, Fresh...I'm alive... I- I am okay." he continued whimpering into Fresh's ear, letting him sob into his shoulder. He fucked up so badly.
They didn't talk about it after that, and if error started softening a bit around his sibling, then it was only because of Geno's influence and not because he cared (it was). And if Fresh started to express more feelings, they thought it was because he learned (and not because he broke down).
Told ya they're short~ till the next time~
