Blue Ball of Energy

-C0de's PoV-

The shock of knowing what really happened all those years ago had been getting to me, and a certain goopy octo-jerk doesn't give up easily. I haven't told any of the others about the harrassment, I still don't know them that well after all. Though I think they are starting to suspect something is going on, I've been avoiding sleep as much as I can just so I don't have to deal with Nightmare.

Zer0 isn't nearly as annoying as he used to be, but he still keeps the silence away for me, allowing me to hear the constant music that he always hears, it helps a lot.

Error hasn't shown up again for a long time, and Ink is usually busy as is Dream, that's understandable, but it gets a little annoying that they keep leaving a random Sans with me each day when Outer can't show.

It was rather funny, I think I may have scared a few of them. Though it's not hard to see why, I still look like I've gone to hell and back again.

I sighed softly, sitting on the couch as I continued to think. What's Inks angle? Dream I can understand wanting to help me out of empathy, but Ink has no soul, so why is he so insistent that he help me? I thought to myself.

"To be honest, I think it's not too far fetched to assume that Ink just finds us interesting.... a shiny new toy to play with until he grows bored... but, it's just a thought..." Zer0 said casually. I knew he didn't mean to, but he still usually came off at the very least a pessimist. I was fine with it though, he also had a point.

Dream came into the house, smiling at me brightly, I didn't return the smile, only giving a slight wave in greeting.

-Dream's PoV-
C0de gave me a wave, but he didn't smile at all. I knew he didn't tend to smile a lot, but sometimes it hurt a little to see just, how withdrawn from others he was.

On that thought, I had noticed that he was becoming even more distant the last few days, barely talking to anyone other then that Zer0 person in his head. I shuddered uncontrollably at the thought of that demon.

"Heya C0de, Ink couldn't stop by but we both got you something, a bit of a gift." I said now in a chipper voice.

C0de looked up at me after a moment, tilting his head slightly in confusion.

I couldn't help but giggle softly, holding out the neatly wrapped gift. After a moment C0de took it, and carefully unwrapped it, revealing a nice small notebook sized sketchbook and some pencils to go with it.

He looked up at me and I felt suddenly nervous, until the faintest of smiles crept onto his face.

"Thanks..." he said a little quietly.

"You're welcome, Ink picked the pencils and I picked out the book... I didn't know if you liked writing or drawing more so I got one with blank pages that way you can decide." I said with a bit of a blush on my cheeks.

C0de shook his head, smiling a little more, "I appreciate it..." he said, turning the book over in his hands as he examined it.

"Oh, by the way, I was thinking of introducing you to Blue, he's the third member of the Star Sans's." I added, remembering my original plan.

C0de looked up with a slightly curious expression. "Sure, why not?" He said, sounding almost like he was questioning his own words.

I put that thought aside and smiled, "great! I'll go get him now!" I nearly shouted with excitement.

-C0de's PoV-
I couldn't help but jump a little when Dream just about shouted, a big grin on the guys face. Already I was starting to regret agreeing.
