Childhood Trauma

Error's pov

I groaned in annoyance as I destroyed another copy of Potiontale (Made it up. An AU where every magic attack is potion related. Interested?). Ink has been copying this one a lot lately.

What is he up to this time?

I got to Judgment Hall to see Potions, the Sans of this AU) and Ink standing together. I sighed.

I knew I should have asked Nightmare for help.

We fought for a while, all three of us getting decent bruises and hitting decent hits on each other before Ink shouted "Now!" And a bottle was thrown at me. I dodged the first one only to be hit in the face as the second one was shots in the direction I would go to at the same time. My eyes went black for a second as I felt like I was shrinking, my eyes widening as Ink and Potions seemed bigger to me. I immediately moved away, making a portal under my feet to fall straight into the Anti-Void. I looked into a mirror I stole from one of the Mettatons and went straight into a panic attack.

Ink's pov

I followed him into the Anti-Void, leaving Potions behind as I went looking for him. I wasn't expecting what I saw though.

Error, now a kid, was on his hands and knees, breathing heavily. I could see his mouth moving as if he was saying something, but it was too quiet for me to hear from this distance. Was he having a panic attack? He suddenly looked up, looking at me,his eyes blocked by Error signs. He came towards me at a fast pace as if he had forgotten who I was, clenching to my shirt and listening to my breathing on instinct as I was the only adult figure around. His strings reached for a doll of Blue as he whimpered, him cuddling it when it reached him. I could hear what he was mumbling now that he was closer to me. "My fault, my fault, why, can't dodge, failed, crumbling, sorry, my job, unable..." He kept mumbling, his voice getting lower and lower as he rocked back and forth on my lap, his high pitch and shakey voice making him sound even more miserable. I decided to let him clinge onto me, petting his head. This was my fault, after all.. His head suddenly shot up a few minutes later, realizing that it was me and crawling away in fear. "D-don't hurt me..." He said in a weak voice, clearly distraught because of what just happened.

I took my brush off of my back, making him take a step back before he tilted his head to the side in confusion as I threw it up in the air, letting it get tangled in the strings covering the ceiling. "I won't." I assured him, sitting cross legged on the floor and patting the ground next to me for him to sit. He did so, watching my every move. I sighed. I guess it was only fair. I decided to change the topic for a bit. "So... How do you make those dolls?" I asked, pointing to the doll of Blue he was holding onto. Error looked at me as if thanking me, glad for the temporary change in subject. He then looked away, his cheeks glowing a faint yellow before he rose his hand, his strings twisting, turning, knotting and changing colour as he made a doll of me. "I usually do it with my knitting set, but this was a special occasion." He said, picking it up a pencil and a piece of paper, scribbling something on it before attaching it to my doll, giving it to me. On the paper, it wrote "You look cuter when we're not fighting." I blushed, looking for him to answer him, only to see a portal to OuterTale closing behind the young skeleton.

I chuckled, getting my brush back with a jump and following him there. I saw him sitting by a cliff, trying to calm himself down. I took out a drawing of his adult self and a pencil, writing "So are you!" underneath it. I sat next to him, sliding the drawing over to him while blushing. He took it, his face exploding into yellow blush after reading it. When he calmed down, I told him what I heard and asked the meaning. So, he explained. I was mad at Fate. Why had she stopped warning me?! I held my anger in for Error's sake, taking him to Potions so that he could turn him back to normal. I took the small responsibility of explaining the others everything I learned, leaving them surprised. We became closer to each other, glad it went this way.

302 reads?! Where is this love coming from and who gave it the right to melt the ice around my heart? Jokes aside, thank you all so much! I didn't expect anyone to care about this, so that was a pleasant surprise! See you in my next thing I guess!
