It was really early in the morning, it was only their second day on the beach. And Ink had sneaked out of the cabin. He stared around in excitement and a bit of worry. He knew he’d just entered somewhere where he wasn’t allowed to. But his curiosity was more dominant right now so he continued, venturing deeper and deeper into the forest or whatever it was.
He quickly stopped and stared around, the sound of water falling could be heard. He looked around curiously. And slowly headed for the cause of the sound. He could hear the soft crunching of the soft wet ground with the leaves and rocks. The breeze was gentle against his face, but the smell of the sea still lurked around.
But as he continued walking forward it seemed to fade and a humid feeling started dispersing around his body. He moved a few bush leaves away and gasped at what he saw. A beautiful waterfall with water falling down. There was a large pond and towards the waterfall stacks of rocks could be seen. Trees and bushes, and strange looking flowers surrounded the place. On the rocks moss was visible.
Ink smiled, but he quickly stopped. He looked around, next to him a beautiful blue and yellow flower was dying. It was so beautiful though, Ink sighed and kneeled next to it. He smiled and picked it up, this would remind him of this place. And if he could, he would keep the flower alive.
Now that he had something to remind him of that place he decided to run back to his cabin. He did get lost a few times and sometimes even forgot where he was going for one second. But he somehow remembered where to go and continued to run back to his cabin.
Ink stared at Error, sometimes giggling but quickly looking away when the other stared at him. He knew that he was annoying the other and the other would soon force himself to talk to him. And that came quicker than he expected.
He had been chuckling as he stared at Dust and Swap trying to ride the surfing board. He then remembered the flower he found, he stopped laughing and only smiled to himself until he started giggling. He gave a quick glance to Error. The other had already been looking at him so they made eye contact. And Error did not look away and only glared at him.
“Wh@t do y0u w@nt?” Error asked, his voice was soft.
“Oh~ nothing” Ink giggled, “unless you really want to know” Ink added winking.
Error blushed softly but grumbled.
“JUst go ah3@d or I’ll smAsh y0Ur he@d” Error grumbled.
“I found a waterfall, tomorrow we could sneak into it and you know… have some alone time and relax and float around there” Ink explained.
“Wh@t?” Error asked, he was a bit shocked.
“Tomorrow, after lunch, follow me,” Ink said “if I forgot try to remind me” he added.
Error grumbled, “ofc0Urse y0u will pr0b@bly f0rget”
“Yes and no, don’t worry everything will be okay” Ink assured “especially for you” he added teasingly. Before starting to giggle.
Error rolled his eyes.
Error walked over in search of Ink, the other had just finished eating but had headed to the beach with Dream and swap. Error was right now walking with Nightmare and his gang, luckily they were heading towards the beach. So if he was lucky he would find the stupid artists.
As they once again set up all the mats and blankets and some of the beach umbrellas for shadow. Error sat down staring around, and after a bit of searching, he saw Ink walking over. But he was now wearing his swimming suit, he sat down next to Error. Just like Error guessed, the others seemed to have forgotten about what they had to do.
He decided to stay silent for a while, just to see if Ink actually forgot or not. But after fifteen minutes he guessed the other had forgotten. Error moved a bit closer to Ink, the other looked at him. His eyelights clearly change to warn Error. They had mostly red and blue colour.
“Y0u f0rg0t?” Ink’s eyelights immediately changed to confusion. “YoU idi0t”
“What?... What did I forget!?” Ink gasped, Error suddenly covered his mouth. But quickly moved it away.
Even if he was learning to deal with his haphephobia and all that he still didn’t really like touching. Or at least wasn’t a fan of it, especially not with Ink. The other would probably get too happy and try to hug him out of the blue. That would definitely trigger his haphephobia and… he didn’t really like the idea of that. It was really annoying to be truthful.
“THe w@t3rf@ll?” Error mumbled softly, questioning himself for a bit. He could have teased the other for longer but didn’t.
Killer’s eyes changed shape a few times before he seemed to remember. He suddenly started nodding. Nightmare stared at Nightmare for a few seconds who was reading a book. He seemed too indulged in it to even pay attention to them or anyone else. Probably actually relaxing after… months probably. It probably was really hard due to having to take care of his gang filled with idiots.
Error slowly got up, Ink following behind him, and then suddenly walked off. Error knew that it would be suspicious to immediately leave before Ink. So instead he only started stretching before sitting back down. When Ink stared at him in confusion, Error waved his hand for him to continue.
After Error knew that they weren’t being watched or that it wouldn’t be suspicious. He got up. He started walking in the same direction that Ink went, the other was quite far away. So it did take a few minutes for Error to reach him, the other seemed to be patiently waiting for him. Error guessed that he forgot, but it didn’t seem like he did when he ran up to him.
“Come on you slowpoke!” He laughed before running upwards. Error ran behind him.
They both continued running until they reached a forest, Ink stopped for a bit before then starting to run again as Error reached him. Error was really shocked at how Ink could remember so much… but it could also be the artist guessing or… well Error didn’t really know.
They ran for who knows how long but when Ink suddenly stopped, Error knew he was quite tired. He wasn’t expecting to be exercising during his miny vacation or whatever this was.
“Hear” Ink simply said, he was smiling. Error blushed a bit; he hadn't seen Ink so happy before.
Error slowly breathed in and out, as he gasped his (non-existing) throat felt a bit raspy. But soon enough he relaxed, as his breath became softer he could hear water. It was such a calming sound. He heard a few steps, Error looked down at the artist. He had extended a hand outwards to Error. He seemed hesitant but after a bit of thinking, Error slowly extended his hand and grabbed Ink’s.
The other slowly guided him through some bushes, and then a beautiful sight was all Error saw.
“Let’s go swim! It’ll be more relaxing than being on the beach”, he simply stated, before he walked forward and started entering the water. Error could see him shiver a bit, the water in here was probably colder than the saltwater on the beach.
Error slowly joined Ink. Error shivered a bit, the water truly was cold but he sucked in a breath and completely submerged himself when he was inside more deeply. He then swam for a bit, getting used to the cold water and making it easier for him to swim around. As he floated around relaxing for a while he froze, where was Ink? He quickly straightened up and looked around.
There was a sudden splash, Error gasped, what Ink hurt? Was he drowning!? Did he fall from somewhere. He quickly looked around, freaking out. He waited a few more seconds before he started swimming around, especially towards the waterfall in search of Ink.
“Ink!?” Error gasped. “Ink, wh3re are y0u!?”
Error started swimming back towards the more plain area.
“Error, are you okay? I heard you screaming my name” suddenly Ink’s voice echoed, Error looked around and sighed when he saw the other swimming to him.
“Y0u sc@r3d me!” Error snapped. “I th0Ught y0u g0t hUrt or s0m3thIng”
There were a few seconds of silence…
“You care about me!” ink gasped.
“ShU-shUt it!” Error stuttered.
Ink swam closer to him before sitting next to Error, he was giggling. Error blushed and looked away, he suddenly felt a soft and gentle kiss on his cheek. He froze for a few seconds. The touch was so gentle and quick that it only left Error confused. Luckily it didn’t trigger anything.
“Let’s go swim,” Ink said gently, he once again extended his hand.
This time, Error didn’t hesitate and took it. Due to Ink being more gentle and calm he wasn’t that scared. They walked over until they had to start swimming. Obviously, they let go of each other's arms but Error followed closely by. Ink started climbing the rocks, he looked down at Error who was struggling. At this, the shorter one helped him climb up.
“Just follow me, don’t worry the water is quite deep here!” Ink reassured as he jumped.
Error stared at him in shock, a few seconds later Ink was back up at the surface. Error gulped nervously but after a few deep breaths, he jumped. And they both continued this. Until their arms hurt from climbing, and their legs hurt from jumping and swimming. And soon enough both were sitting down on one of the rocks, resting next to each other. Breathing in and out calmly.
“We sh0Uld h3@d b@ck, th3y’ll g3t sUspici0Us” Error sighed.
“Agree… but… let’s wait a bit more, I like it here” Ink sighed. Relaxing a lot more.
Error smiled softly.
It was the sixth day, everything was a lot calmer. Error stared around the beach before looking at Ink. He didn’t understand why, but he found ink more beautiful than… all the environment.
He couldn’t stop looking at the shorter one and no matter what he did he couldn’t help but want to hug him. He still wanted the best with touch but… a hug sounded nice. And as Error was lost in his thoughts of how pretty Ink was, he didn’t notice the other staring back at him. Ink even called out at him a few times.
Error suddenly snapped back when he saw Ink pinning him.
“Like the view” He teased.
Error didn’t know what he was doing but he softly grabbed Ink’s chin and that’s where he froze. Unsure of what to do next. Ink smiled softly before leaning in. They softly kissed each other, then moved apart. Error stared at Ink puzzled but blushing. He had never kissed anyone before. It felt so nice though. So warm and full of love… not LOVE. Error leaned in again. This time Ink deepened it a bit but didn’t go too far.
“Love ya” Ink whispered softly.
“... you’re cute…” Error said hesitantly.
Ink giggled, gave him a quick kiss before separating.
“Shall we head back?” Ink asked
“S-sUre” Error said softly, he quickly kissed Ink before they both headed back.
