the Devil from Above, and the Angel from Below

We Crush Them Today

Error's P.O.V

Today was the day.

Today was the day we get Ink back, and give Dream a good kick to the face.

I walked over to where me and Ink usually meet, and looked around.

I saw the tree and remembered me and Ink (or is it Ink and I? IDK fuck grammar) hanging by it like we always did, and the flowers Ink loved because they could change colour, and all the memories we've had here. All washed down the drain.

I sighed and continued forward, over to the angel realm.

Once I was there, I shielded my eyes from the bright sun, not being used to it. I followed the path that Ink had made from following it everyday.

It took awhile, but finally I was out and saw the angel city before me.

Time to find Ink.

I kept walking around, looking at every angle that walked past me. I was luckily in an alleyway that was shaded so no one could see me, but I could see them.

A couple hours pass by, and I have yet to find Ink. I never realized how many angles are in the angle realm. In hell, I knew almost everyone. DeeDee is the one who actually manages to smile. Luke and Bella do a weekend bike ride on the same route. Some people have actually started to join them. Rosie likes to do a weekly bake sale where she sells baked goods. Jayden likes to do a morning stroll around the place. Kellan, Amir, Max, and Gerome like to play at the basket ball court every now and then. Of course there are tons more, but I don't have the time. Plan A, try to find Ink, isn't working, so time for plan B. 

Make an entrance.

Here we go.

Ink's pov

Walking through the city, I couldn't help but feel I was forgetting something. Aside from the fact I had terrible memory, I feel like something was missing. Something important. Like something changed. Something with Error I'm missing.

Maybe, I'm missing Error.

I stopped, when I heard screams. I looked left and right trying to find where the screams came from.

Another scream rang out.

There! I thought to myself. I turned around and ran down another road to get to wherever the sorce of the scream was.

I turned the corner, and I saw blue strings shooting out. And the only thing I could think of, was Error.

"Error!?" I yelled out in confusion and frustration.

I heard a low chuckle in response.

"Look who it is. The squid himself." Out stepped Error from behind an alleyway. 

"Error! Stop! Why are you doing this!?" I yelled out to him. He just smiled wilder.

"If you want answers, you'll have to catch me." He turned around, and started running.

"Oh no you don't." I muttered and took out my brush, and ran after him.

I kept chasing him, throwing paint at him. He kept running, and dodging. We ran further and further into the woods, but still somehow on a path. It was only until we got far enough away from everyone did I realize what this path was and lead to.

Was he trying to lead me to the other side? Wait why?

I stopped running and slowed down. 

Error looked over his shoulder and saw that I had stopped. He slowed as well, and turned around to look at me.

"Why?" I asked, my voice barley a whisper.

He looked at me in confusion and slowly stepped closer to me.

"Why do you keep toying with me? Why are you playing with my feelings? You know they aren't stable. What are you demons trying to do? Why are you doing this? What did we ever do? Why don't we just stop!" I screamed, not being able to understand anything. So he likes me, but then it turns out he's just tricking me, but now he wants me to follow him to the other side?

"Ink, look, I-" He stepped closer to me, but I stepped back.

"You know I still miss you! You know I still want those days where we could just be alone together under that tree. You know I still want to believe that you aren't some player toying with my life! You know I still LOVE you!" I yelled out, tears forming at the corners of my eyes.

"I still love you too but you have to listen to me-"

"No! You're lying! You've killed so many! You were playing with us all. You're were down below for a reason!" I put my hands on my skull, taking more steps back.

I knew he was saying something, but I couldn't careless on what it was. He was lying. He hurt many. He's a demon. You can't trust them. Why did I ever think I could love one? Why did I ever think I could change one? Why did I ever think they were something they aren't, and never will be?

I kept walking backwards, trying to get away from Error. My eyes shut tightly, not wanting to look at him. I just wanted him to leave. I just wanted all this to be a dream. I just wanted all this to end.

No one's pov

Ink kept ignoring Error, while Error kept trying to get Ink to listen to him.

"Ink please listen to me! Dreams wrong! He's the one tricking yo-" Error was cut off.

"Lalalala! I'm not listening! Lalala! I can't hear you! Lalalalala!" Ink yelled, hoping to drown out Error.

"What are you six?" Error asked with a disappointed face.

"Pretty much." Ink replied.

"Ink please listen to me, I'm trying to help you see that-"

"Nope! You're not here. There's nothing but a liar infront of me. Never trust a liar. Nothing you say is true." Ink yet again kept yelling.

"Argh! Ink just listen to me!" Error yanked on Ink's arm pulling him foward. Ink's eyes shot open in surprise. And before he could react, Error's arm wrapped around Ink's waist while the other kept holding his arm, sliding it down to intertwine their hands. Error connected their "lips" together silencing Ink from his yelling.

Ink felt heat wash over his face as he blushed a bright rainbow. Before he could even comprehend what was happening, he kissed back on instinct. Error smirked, moving the hand that was wrapped around Ink's waist, up his shirt and touched his spine and ribs.

Ink, to his surprise, didn't pull away from the kiss, but instead melted more into it. He didn't know why, but he also didn't care. Error's touch felt soothing and calming. He didn't want him to stop.

But, after a few more moments of their tender kiss, Error pulled away.

"Ink. I love you with all my heart and soul. I would end my life for you. I wouldn't let anything hurt you. You are my everything. I would never lie to you. I would never betray you. I would never toy with your heart. Because without your heart, I am nothing. You bring joy, laughter, hope, amazement, and love into my sad, lonely, dark life. Please, just trust me. Please just listen to what I have to say." Error held both Ink's hands, and looked deeply into his eyes. Ink couldn't help but believe him. He seemed so sincere and honest and completely heart broken. He couldn't do anything but listen to what he had to say.

"Please just follow me. Me and Nightmare need to talk to you. But, before that, could you go get Blue. We also need him on our side." Error explained letting go of Ink. Ink, a little confused slowly took a step away from Error.

Him and Error's eyes still locked together, before nodding and going back along the path to find Blue.

Error stayed behind and watched Ink go. He didn't want him to leave, but he knew better than to mess up this plan. He waited patiently for his love to come back.
