"Ink, how exactly did you meet Error?"

Everyone stilled in the living room as the tv played idly in the background. Error looked towards Blue in curiosity. He wondered when others would start to ask questions. Before AU travel became a thing or ever heard of, him and Ink could destroy and protect to the ends no matter the subjects involved. But after Dreamtale settled into the multiverse did things get complicated.

"Hmm? How I met Error? Now, that's a good question as my memory isn't all that great."

"It's due to your lack of soul, idiot."

Everyone now looked at him while Gem settled near him while holding a narwhal plush. Dream and Nightmare seemed interested along with Delerium and Radier. Horror was settling down like a pillow for Killer and Murder(Dust) with Outer floating idly above with Fresh settling into a beanbag that was near. Cross was also getting snacks with X. Classic, Red, Razz, and Scoundrel were also paying attention with Classic looking more interested in the lack of soul part.

"Every monster or mage knows that a soul is the accumulation of your being. It holds your memories, your feelings, your thoughts, it's just you. But, since you lack a soul, your very memory is affected by this as well. Which also leads no emotions or thoughts that can dictate your actions. Think of it like this; You have a canvas, and the paint is your emotions, thoughts, and memories. The paint will stick to the canvas, allowing you to experience everything and anything. But your canvas is resisting the paint, not allowing anything to stick or create on the canvas. The canvas is you while the paint is your soul, getting it?"

"Hmm, so far. It makes sense, Erry~!"

Error sighed as everyone murmured about this analogy. 

"And how we met was something I wished to forget but unfortunately can't."

Now everyone was looking at him along with his children. Thankfully, Aten was currently asleep to the world.

"I was just a beginner destroyer with 404 gone to another multiverse to find a coding. I was checking the codes of the multiverse to see which AU's 404 needed at the time when I saw Ink's coding in an AU. Or, lack of coding should I say."

"Hmm, my codes weren't there?"

"No, more like, difficult to see. You somehow using the codes to subconsciously blend into the AU's. If I wasn't looking carefully at the time I wouldn't have seen anything wrong at all. I found it odd, so I decided to meet you to find out how you were doing it. Which would later lead to regret due to the first sentence you ever said to me."

"What exactly did he say?"

Error groaned slightly while hearing the question from Dream with everyone having curiosity dripping from their bones. He then put some noise-cancelling headphones on both Gemini and Aten. When Error wanted to give some to Delerium and Radier they shook their heads to which he put them away.

"He said and I kid you not, 'You are the most fucking beautiful and fuckable skeleton I've ever met. Can I fuck you?'"

Cross ended up spitting out the chocolate milk he was drinking with Classic chocking on his ketchup. Delerium and Radier looked like they regretted not taking the headphones with Nightmare face-palming into his hands. Dream was blushing up a storm with Blue and Fresh looking scandalized at the sentence. Nightmare's group were giving Ink various looks of disbelief and 'WTF'. Ink was thinking at the moment till he smacks his skeleton hands into a clap with a bright smile.

"I remember that now! I still stand by what I said that day by the way."

"I figured as much."

Error sighed as he hugged Gemini slightly as Ink bounced slightly next to him.

"Why don't you tell them the fact we're legally married?"

"YOU'RE WHAT!?!?!"

A headache grew as Error sighed from the chaos that Ink was sowing.

"It was centuries ago to be honest. Ink was trying very hard to befriend me, going so far as to find a contract to legally bound friendship. What Ink didn't know that it was a marriage contract. I was looking at it as I wanted Ink gone from my sight during those years. I only signed it due to thinking it would get him out of my site faster. After I signed it did I see what I actually signed."

"Yeah, Erry chased me through thousands of AU's, swearing on his title and namesake that I will regret ever getting that contract. It took me years to heal from the beatdown he gave me. I still feel the phantom pains to this day."

"It was utterly you're fault, squid."

"Love ya too~!"

"Wait, if you're married, then do you have any kids?"

Cross was looking mighty curious at this while voicing the question. Everyone was also looking curious at this question with Nightmare looking far curiouser and slightly mad.

"No, Erry wasn't really interested in bedroom activities or curious of raising children. While I do want to bed my adorable wife,"

"Goddammit squid, it's husband, not wife!!!"

"I'd rather have his consent to do that then force him. Plus, I'm so happy at being married to Erry~!"

Ink looked so lovesick and happy that even Dream felt physically sick from the intense emotions coming off Ink. Despite the new soul Ink was given from Error, the emotions were so intense that even the densest person can feel them physically. 

"But no, I and Ink never had any children due to my haphephobia at the time along with still having anger towards Ink. Though that never stopped Ink from dropping hints he wanted to try fatherhood."

"You would look so cute with a baby bump~!"

"Wait, then having an accidentally child with Outer count as an affair?"

Both Error and Ink looked each other for the moment then spoke in unison.

"We have an open relationship./I'm fine with it."

"Ah."

"Gemini is already learning the art of trying to kill~! I'm so proud!"

"Ink thinks killing or harming others is a sign of love due to us doing this for centuries while married."

"Why does that explain so much about Ink..."
