Oooook, I don't know that much on Minusculetale but I have seen a few comics.

-Error totally despises Ink and wants to kill him.
...totally. 😗🎶
-Ink is male cuz idk.

Don't mind me probably putting an end to Minusculetale! Ink's whole personality as I dreadfully replace it with a whole new different one.

He steadies himself on the rock with a determined look as he ran as fast as he could to the edge but as soon as he jumped off instead off taking flight, he simply plopped right back down on the dirt. He could clearly hear the snickering of the other butterflies.
"Pff- Haha! Imagine that, a butterfly unable to fly! Pathetic." Said one of them mockingly
"O-oh shut up! One day you'll regret those words!" Ink replied, confident
"Heh, we'll see about that, now come on guys let's go fly up to the shade, it's getting hot"

The other said turning his back to face his friends as he sneered out the word 'fly' as though he's rubbing the fact that Ink couldn't take flight in his face. He spared a last evil glance at the butterfly and flew off making a bunch of spins and swirls in the air literally showing off what Ink couldn't do.

Ink didn't get it. Why did someone as arrogant as that guy get to have working wings? He leaned against the bottom of the rock with a sad sigh. He could feel himself slightly tearing up.

A sudden brush of grass signaled him that someone was close but when he looked around, nobody was there. He could still here the russles coming closer and closer until finally he spotted an insect, larger than him. He was terrified, what if it was a predator?
"I- my apologies for startling you butterfly, I thought I heard sniffling and I decided to check it out"
Upon hearing the words of the insect he calmed down a bit. Upon closer inspection it seemed that the one who talked was a mantel. It had green 'skin', long antennas as well as big arms and legs. The insect, which he soon realized was a female, looked at him curiously with her two big round glossy eyes. It was honestly the cutest thing he had ever seen.
"Woah, I've never seen such a beautiful butterfly before! You're wings are so pretty too!"
These words caused a faint rainbow shade to caste on his tiny furry face.
"T-thanks, although it's a shame they don't work"
He replied, slightly stuttering
"Oh, dear! I am terribly sorry, I had no idea!"
You replied, slightly ashamed. You felt bad for the poor butterfly, although it is quite admirable that a flightless butterfly was able to survive this long without dying.

You kept observing the winged insect taking in every detail in awe, Ink however felt slightly uncomfortable with the staring as his face flushed a deeper rainbow.
He didn't understand, what was so interesting and amazing about a him?
After a brief moment of silence you spoke up:

"If it's not too much to ask... could you open your wings for me, I would like to have a closer look"
You asked softly in curiosity of how they would look like with a clear full view.
He knows he shouldn't be that trusting, but could he help it? Those pleading eyes you gave him made it nearly impossible for him to say no.

"Okay..."
He agrees, spreading his wings to their full extent and turning his back towards you so that you can get a full view.
"But please be careful. A butterflies wings are incredibly sensitive, there is a high chance of dying when our wings are touched"
He warned, still a little wary as he turned his head slightly so that he could see your reaction.
You nodded your head reassuringly and started inspecting them.
The sight of his wings left you breathless, they were beautiful. They were glimmering softly against the rays of the sun, tainted by a slight rainbow and filled with beautiful patterns. You felt your 'face' heat up a bright green, making it hard to notice since your 'skin' was a lighter shade of green to begin with.
(Don't ask-)
"Gorgeous..."
You muttered with a soft voice that managed to reach Ink's ear, making him turn into a rainbow.
Oh, how you wished you could pinch those fluffy cheeks. He was absolutely adorable.
