((SURPRISE-



IT'S ANGST-
As the fandom started becoming greater fans of the 'forced destroyer' or 'Error is not actually that bad' or even 'Error is super depresso espresso',
I thought of some horrible angst uwu
POSSIBLE TRIGGER WARNINGS AHEAD? BEWARE! ))

The large paintbrush fell to the ground with a wooden CLACK as Ink stared wide-eyed at the scene before him.

Error stood, staring down at the portal-opening the destroyer had ripped open below. It's opening lit the blank anti-void with starlight.

Outertale.

That wasn't what scared Ink.

What scared Ink was the fact Error had strung a few strings around his neck as a makeshift noose. 

"Error."

The destroyer looked up and turned, glowing blue tears spilling from his mismatched eyes. He looked so, SO tired. So... empty.

It took Ink a few tries to finally get words out. "Error."

"whAT.?" 

Ink blinked back panicked tears, daring not to lose sight of the other. He was hurriedly searching for the right words, terrified to say the wrong thing. 

Like walking over a mine field blindfolded and scared.

"Don't..." It was a wrong step. Ink stepped on a land mine, watching as the mental explosion appeared as Error's tears coming down even more.

"DoN'T WhAT? Don'T JuMP? WwhY NOt?"

Ink felt like crying too. "Er-"

"You'll die."

"No. sH*T." Error's feet edged closer to the portal's edge.

Ink took a step forward. "Please. Don't."

"GiVE ME OnE REasON ThAT I SHouLDN'T!" Error yelled, his voice cracking at the end as more tears fell.

"Because you can 15% or more on car insurance when you switch to Geico."

Error closed the portal without a second thought, the strings suddenly dissipating. "Oh shoot, really? Kay, won't die today."

"Good."
