Reborn as Error

68 - A Gift and a Show

Author note: I wanna write another story but literally can't and I don't know why this one has me going so well. Also I would like apologize, not for something in this chapter but something.... don't worry about it. It won't come up til much later.

This little session of going back and forth took a bit before coming to an end. My opinions haven't changed at all. I wasn't sure about the others but there was an agreement to not bicker about who's right and who's wrong. I still didn't like them. 

Once I was able to leave that pain I had something that I needed to do. Wandering back to my room I grabbed the bag Nightmare took from me and checked that the contents inside were still there. Unfortunately, as I stepped out I came face to face with the reaper.

"Well, just the skeleton I was looking for," he said with a grin. 

"What do you want?" I asked while shuffling by him.

"Just wanted to see my favorite glitchy skeleton." 

"I'm the only glitchy skeleton present as far as I'm aware." 

"Details," he said waving off my point. The reaper skeleton still made me uncomfortable but not as much and thinking that made me realize something. 

"Anyways I should probably thank you."

"Thank me? What did I do to get the great destroyers thanks." I rolled my eye and saw his grin grow from my reaction.

"Yesterday you stopped me from doing something I might have regretted. I'm going to gloss over the fact that your death touch did nothing and just give my thanks." 

He blinked and his expression went blank. I had no idea what he was thinking of or his mood. I don't think he was upset... possibly surprised. I don't know. I wasn't paying attention so didn't notice his hand when his head dipped down. I noticed once I felt a chill go through my arm and felt my unoccupied hand lift up.

That coldness I was feeling was him holding up my hand. I couldn't help but tense and glitch slightly, even more when he hand my hand by his mouth almost like his was going to kiss it. But he didn't, he just hovered and observed me with a lazy gaze. 

"You're welcome." He smirked before releasing me and walking away to do who knows what. I couldn't help but shiver, that was such a weird experience. Definitely a first and I didn't know how to feel about it. But like most things I'll just say I hated it and hope it doesn't happen again.

Then I remembered what I wanted to do before I got distracted and went looking for a skeleton. My search lasted a bit until I ended up in the backyard area. Blue, Dust, Gradient, Paps, and Sci were present sitting around under the shade by the garden. One of them was who I was looking for. 

I walked over and Sci noticed first.

"So... how'd it go?" He asked gaining the others' attention.

"Horrible, I never want to do it again."

"Oh come on Error, it wasn't that bad," Blue said with an amused chuckled. Dust just watched as I stopped by and eyed the bag I had before looking invested. 

"It was bad. But that's not important right now. Here." I said before holding the bag out for Gradient. He blinked surprised and gazed up at me.

"For me?" 

"Yes, I wanted to do this for awhile and had some help with Dust, Lust, and Fresh. So... take it." He took the bag and I sat down next to Dust. He knew what it was and wanted to see his reaction as much as I did.

Gradient looked curious before removing a box from the bag and opening it. His bone brow furrowed in confusion until he pulled out the object and gasped understanding what he was holding.
