Ink was being a troll. Error thought that people could only troll online. Well, Ink found a way to troll in real life. Error didn't know how Ink did the things he did or why, he just knew he did them. Ink bounced over to Error with stars in his eyes. 

"Error, guess what I did?" Error sighed, and Ink blinked at him. 

"What?" Error huffed out another breath. "You are, like..." Error stood up and walked over to Ink. He thought it was kind of funny how Ink had to look up to look at him. "My energy level is down here." He held his hand at his waist level. "Your energy is up here." He held his hand as high as he could reach. "We need to find some sort of middle ground." Error put his hand down. "You, learning all the facts that a person could possibly know then telling me and then forgetting them and finding a new hyper-fixation, is not a middle ground." Ink sighed, dramatically. Ink was very dramatic. Error was deadpanning and sarcastic, and Ink was the opposite of that. Error guessed opposites really did attract. 

"Fine. I'll try to find a middle ground." Ink bounced up again and across the room, and Error slumped his shoulders. He had literally just said not to do that. But Ink wasn't very good at listening to people. "Okay, I think I know what our middle ground can be." Error walked over to Ink, and looked at what he was looking at. Confused, he looked back at  Ink. "I think I can give you some of my energy. I mean, you like to sleep a lot, and sleeping does give you energy." Error sighed. 

"That isn't exactly how it works." Ink looked down. 

"I know. I guess I could hang out with people who have the same amount of energy I do. Like Dream and Blue. Though, I guess Dream has more calm energy than chaotic energy, like me and Blue." Ink shivered. "No, Blue is just downright evil. He confessed to being a cheater, then was like 'oh, no one will believe you'. I swear I hate him sometimes." Error laughed and pointed at Ink. Ink lowered his eyes. Error sighed and pretended to wipe away a tear. 

"It doesn't  really matter. Everyone already knew he cheated and believed you. Why do you even care?" Ink huffed and crossed his arms.

"It's the fact that he did it at all. I would never do that to one of my friends." Error sighed and took Ink's hands. 

"Never say never." Ink snatched his hands back. 

"UGH! I hate you and I hate everyone." Error blankly stared at Ink, waiting for the realization to hit him. Almost instantly, Ink took in a huge breath, gasping and looking at Error. "You touched me!" Error just sent him a small smile. Ink grabbed Error's shoulders and started shaking him. Error's eyes were wide. "This is amazing! You're doing it! You're really doing it!" Error smiled at Ink once he stopped shaking him. 

"Yeah, I did, didn't I?" Ink nodded and bounced to the other side of the room. 

"I didn't think you'd be able to do it  so fast. Geno didn't think you'd be able to do it at all." Error lowered his eyes. 

"I'm going to kill him." Ink laughed. 

Horror was spaced out. Lust could only tell because he wasn't responding to anything. Lust frowned and snapped in his face again. Horror just blinked slowly. He did this sometimes, Lust learned. He would just stare into space and blink slowly, and you couldn't really snap him out of it. So Lust sat back and folded his arms in his crossed legs, waiting. He could get really impatient sometimes, but he would wait for Horror to come back to himself. He could be patient, if he wanted to. But he didn't really want to. But he also didn't want to scare  Horror. Lust closed his eyes and sighed, before opening them and peering at his boyfriend. Suddenly, Horror started repeatedly blinking. Lust beamed as Horror looked around the room, then locked his eyes on Lust. 

"Oh. Hey. Did I space out?" Lust bit his bottom lip (i do not know how this would work or if this is a thing) and nodded. Horror closed his eyes and sighed. "Sorry. I feel like I've been spacing out a lot lately. You probably don't like waiting around for me to come back to reality." Horror's eyes trailed to the side, but Lust hummed. 

"No. I don't mind it. It's okay. Besides, you look cute when you're all spaced out." Horror's face tinted with red. Lust put hid hand to his mouth and giggled. Horror groaned. "Ah, come on. It's only for a few minutes, max, and anyway, you call me cute all the time. Why can't I call you cute?" Horror rolled his eye. 

"Yeah, 'cause ya are adorable. You're so cute and small and shy... it's cute when you get like that." Lust's eyes went wide, a blush spread across his face. 

"Aww, stop it." Horror chuckled and Lust looked at him. He looked so happy. Lust loved when Horror looked happy like that. He deserved to feel happy like that. After everything, he deserved the world. Horror nervously laughed. 

"What?" He asked. Lust looked at him, confused. 

"What?" 

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Lust blinked as he blushed. 

"Oh. I just was thinking that you looked really happy and that I like when you're happy." Horror's face expression softened. 

"I like when you're happy too." Lust sheepishly smiled and looked down. 

Blue watched as Dust slowly and sheepishly nibbled at his food. Blue had brought them to his room to eat lunch, because Blue thought it might help with Dust's eating problems, not having to be around so many people. It seemed to be working, but Dust was very sheepishly and very slowly eating his food. Blue continued to watch him. Dust put his fork down and cleared his throat. He clapped his hands twice. Blue raised an eye, curious. Dust looked at Blue, then averted his gaze. 

"You know, it was really nice and... thoughtful of you to do this." Blue studied Dust's face expression. He seemed nervous. And not nervous, like, "I'm about to tell you something really heartfelt and I don't know how you'll react". It was more nervous like, "I'm about to tell you something that's gonna be really hard for me to say". And that worried Blue. 

"Dust, what's going through that head of yours?" Dust looked alarmed as he looked back at Blue. 

"What?" Blue sighed. 

"You're obviously thinking about something, so just tell me. Out with it." Dust sighed and hugged himself, and Blue's brow creased with worry. "Dust." He started in a more serious, lighter way. "What's wrong?" Dust sighed and finally met Blue's eyes. He looked sad and tired. "What happened?" Dust sighed and hugged himself again. It made Blue think he was trying to shield  himself from something. But what would he need to shield himself from? Or maybe it was someone. "Dust..?" Dust sighed and looked away from Blue. 

"It's just... I've..." Dust huffed. "So it's like this. I see a... candy or whatever, and I like that candy. I want that candy. And before, there was that voice that said I don't need the candy, and I don't deserve it. Now, when I look at the candy, I think 'I may not deserve it, and I may not need it, but I want it, and it'll make me feel better about myself'." Dust blinked and looked at Blue. "Does that make sense?" Blue slowly nodded. 

"What does the candy represent?"  Dust sighed and looked down. 

"People, food, anything, really." When Blue didn't say anything, instead just continuing to watch Dust, Dust squirmed and uncomfortably cleared his throat. "Like... love and stuff too. It's not just the voice that tells me that I don't deserve it, I guess I kinda tell myself too." Dust started to play with his hands. Blue watched as he shifted around. "You're not saying anything. Say something." Blue closed his eyes and sighed. 

"I don't know what  to say. You explained that pretty clearly. What do you want me to say?" Dust sighed and leaned back on the floor. 

"I don't know." Blue sighed and leaned back next to him. 

"Okay. I won't say anything then." 

Geno was so adorable. Reaper was just watching him, and he really was just adorable. Geno huffed and crossed his arms. 

"Stop staring at me." He hissed. But it was more of a hissy whine than a normal hiss. Reaper smirked. 

"Why? Am I not allowed to look at my totally adorable boyfriend?" Geno was blushing, but he scolded Reaper. 

"Shut up." Reaper's smirk only grew. 

"Why don't you make me?" Geno rolled his eye. 

"No. You are perfectly capable of shutting up all by yourself." Reaper started to float up as he tilted his head back and forth.

"Am I? Am I really?" Geno sighed and dragged a hand down his face. 

"You're impossible." Reaper shrugged and turned on his back. 

"You chose me. Don't cry about it too much, love." Geno shoved Reaper's face, but he just floated to the side. 

"You're horrible. I hate you." Reaper hummed. 

"Um... no ya don't. You love me~" Geno rolled his eyes. 

"In your dreams." 

"Yeah, I do dream of you. You and-" Geno hurled a pillow at Reaper's face. He just laughed and settled down on the ground. "On a more serious note, what's been going on lately? Tell me that tea, sis." Geno raised an eye. 

"The tea?" 

"Yeah. Who we talking tea about?" Geno rolled his eyes. 

"That's not how you use the term. And there is no tea. No one did anything. There is no 'tea'." Reaper dramatically sighed. 

"Sigh. I wish there was tea. I like gossiping about people." Geno groaned and rubbed his eyes. 

"Of course you do." Reaper scoffed. 

"Can you blame me? I mean, everyone likes talking about people and making fun of them. You did. You made fun of me, Error, everyone in our friend group, every single person to ever breathe air." Geno growled at Reaper. Reaper sighed and floated down onto the bed. "Why did you bully me? I  mean, Error said that's how you get when you like someone, and I think it's kinda true. You like me, and that's how you treat me." Geno started to scold Reaper, but then sighed and looked to the side. 

"I guess he's not... completely wrong." Reaper's eyes went wide and a blush spread across his face. Geno sadistically laughed and pointed at Reaper. "I found a way to make you shut up. For your face to go all-" He gestured at Reaper. Reaper sighed. 

"Yeah, I guess I know how you feel now." Geno sighed and shoved Reaper's face. "I like ya, Geno. I like you a lot." Geno smiled and leaned on Reaper's shoulder. 

"I like you a lot too." 

Cross watched Dream from the bed. Cross wasn't entirely sure what he was doing, but it was nice to just be able to watch him. Cross liked just watching Dream sometimes, even if he wasn't doing anything. It helped calm Cross down. Dream hummed, not looking up. 

"What are you doing?" Cross blushed and looked away. 

"I was just watching you. I do that sometimes. I thought you knew that, though." Dream hummed again as he tilted his head to get a better look at whatever he was looking at. 

"I know. I like watching you sometimes too. It's like..." 

"The world is so peaceful?" Dream nodded and smiled. 

"Yeah. It's just like that. It's nice." Cross nodded and looked down at his hands. 

"Yeah, I like when the world's at peace." Dream sighed and finally looked up at Cross. 

"Yeah, of course you do. Your whole life has been disaster after disaster. You must really appreciate when things are calm and quiet." Cross looked up at the ceiling. 

"Yeah. I do. But it's mainly with you. I feel the most at peace with you." Dream sheepishly smiled and looked to the side. 

"I feel the most at peace when I'm with you too." 

There. Finally. I finally updated again. I'm so sorry that I've been taking so long. But, here ya go. Another chapter.
