Here's the next chapter, sorry for the very long wait on this ^^''
They continued to walk to their last destination for the plant, Ink asking questions that Error, now, decided to answer. Ink learned more about Error than he thought he would. Turns out, he really could hear voices, but they weren't nice.. At all. Error even told him that sometimes, if he didn't do what they asked, they screamed so loud that he ends up being in pain and he would loose consciousness from that.
Ink also learned that Error could only see when things are close to him. "So he's nearsighted" Ink thought. Meaning Error couldn't see things when they were far. "How in the multiverse was he able to be so precise with his attack if he couldn't see me, then?" That was a questions he tried to ask, but Error would brush it off like it was nothing. Ink asked more questions, hoping to know more.
And he did, Error hated water, because it would make his glitches more agitated, and tickles so he didn't like that. He liked sewing and was very good at it. He loved Outertale because of the beautiful sight of the stars there, and he was always going there to think and relax. His favorite color was navy blue, he've never heard a song before, nor did he ever slept in a bed. The first time he's ever been in one(a bed) was at the Inn, when he crashed earlier. And the first time he ever ate something was at the Inn also. And he didn't know what a party was.
Ink asked one more question, being how Error knew about the Original Gaster's created void and Error replied that Gaster himself showed him one day, but he didn't remember when or why. All he could remember was that everything was the same as Undertale and realistic too but the colors faded due to being exposed to the Void for too long.
After a few minutes of silence, Ink asked another question. This time a bit more personal. "I heard from..." Looking on his scarf to see who told him "Nightmare!" Looked back at Error, who was walking in front of Ink, his back turned "That you like someone, is that true?"
Error froze, stopping dead in his track. "I-i..." was all he could say, a blush starting to appear on his cheeks.
"Who is it?" Ink asked, smiling brightly and waiting for an answer. "Come on Glitchy, we're friends right? You can tell me!" He added.
"I'm gonna kill Nightmare..." Error thought, still enable to speak.
After a couple of minutes without a response, they continued their walk in silence. When they arrived at the last room of Waterfall, Ink picked up the last plant he needed and made their way to Hotland. Once they arrived, they got in the Lab and Ink started to make the medicine.
As soon as Error stopped walking and sat down, the pain came back more brutal than before. But he didn't make a sound, not wanting to make Ink worry and waited. After what seemed like years for Error, Ink turned to face him with the medicine ready. "Alright! Take your clothes off!" Ink said, smiling.
"W-w-WhAT?" Error said, blushing hard. "WHY WOULD I DO THAT?" He shouted.
"For your wounds, duh! I can't really apply the medicine on your clothes... besides, why are you being difficult? We have the same body, you know..." Ink said, annoyed.
"..." Error said nothing back and looked away, still blushing.
"Come on, you said you were hurting, right?"
"i'd rather do it myself..." Error whispered, still looking away.
Ink rolled his eyes and gave the bowl to Error. "Then do it, if there's some places you can't reach you can ask me!"
Error got up and walked through a door to get some privacy. He started with his lower half and applied the stuff on his aching wounds, put his clothes back on and did the same with his upper half. Unfortunately for him, there was a place on his spine, in between the shoulder blades, that was impossible for him to reach, but he didn't want to ask for Ink's help. Error was starting to consider leaving the wound to heal by itself, when Ink opened the door.
"So? How-... Oh, you're not done..." Ink smiled "Do you need help with that?" He asked.
"... maybe..." Error said, looking at the ground.
"Pfff-hahaha!" Ink approached Error and made him turn so his back was facing Ink. Then he took a bit of medicine and applied it on Error's wound. "There! Was it so hard to ask?" Ink teased and was pushed by Error, who was glaring at him. Once everything was done, Error put the rest of his clothes back on and they continued their walk.
Their walk was silent, until Ink's curiosity kicked in again. They were now half way through Hotland, and Ink asked the questions that Error wished he wouldn't ask...
"You never answered my question earlier, who do you like? Oh! Have you ever been in a relationship? If you have with who? Do you like male or female? Not that i'm judging.. I feel like you might like someone like Nightmare.. Wait, is it Nightmare? Have you ever kissed someone? Or gone all the way? Nah, i don't think you would... Am i getting too personal?" Ink asked, now getting worried but still curious.
Error didn't answer... One question after the other, Error got more and more annoyed. Not at Ink but at the fact the he didn't want to tell him how he felt, fearing that Ink would laugh at him and tease him about it. Every question brought him more pain in his soul, knowing it would never happen from Ink's lack of soul. Error knew Ink would never love him back like he did. But he couldn't help it...
Ink's energy, his smile, his curiosity, everything about Ink made Error's soul flutter everytime they would talk, see each other or just thinking about him when he was alone. He couldn't help it, the Creator was so... Intriguing, nice and cute.
So, every question Ink asked made Error mad at himself. Until he couldn't take it anymore...
"How are you in a relationship? Do you know? Or not? Maybe you've never been in one before? If so who would you like to try it with? Oh! And-" Ink was going to ask, but Error cut him off. "SHUT UP ALREADY!" Error said "NO, I'VE NEVER BEEN IN A RELATIONSHIP BEFORE, NO, I DON'T LIKE NIGHTMARE AND I DON'T WANT TO ELABORATE ON MY SEXUALITY WITH YOU BECAUSE I KNOW YOU'LL LAUGH AT ME FOR EVERYTHING...!"
"L-laugh at you?" Ink looked at Error, sad and worried. "Why would i laugh at you?" Ink asked, unsure.
"BECAUSE I LOVE YOU! Okay!? I love you and i-and i hate it..." Both fell silent after Error's answer. Tears were falling down his cheek bones as he looked angrily at the Creator. After a few seconds though, his eyes went wide, realizing what he had just said, or more like what he admitted to Ink. He blushed as his hands went his mouth and turned his back on Ink, shaking.
Ink was shocked to hear this confession. Instinctively, his right hand grasped his shirt where his soul should have been. He looked at his feet, unsure if he should say something. But, he tried anyway. "Error..." He said, pausing, trying to find the right words as to not hurt Error more than he already had.
