There she was.

Leaning against her bike.

Hair perfect as always.

Blowing a bubble with her gum.

Scrolling on her phone.

Just…perfect. Error was so perfect.

Ink watched from afar, hidden inside the doors. She wanted to reach through the doors and look as perfect as Error did. Error would then look up from her phone and fall instantly in love with her. They would run to each other; Error would spin her around and their faces would slowly move towards each other until—

“Hey Ink! Watcha doing?”

Ink jumped and spun around. Dream smiled at her, oblivious of the daydream she ruined. Nightmare stood off nearby, frowning softly to herself. Ink swears that the girl never smiles. Always has a cloud over her head, that one.

Ink sighed and directed her attention back to her friend. “Nothing.”

“Really?” Dream’s grin widened and she glanced behind Ink, certainty looking at a certain biker. “Okay. You still coming tonight?”

Ink looked at her weirdly. “Of course. I always come to your parties.”

“Good!” Dream clapped her hands and started to drag Nightmare away without another word. Before they passed through the doors, she paused and looked back at Ink. “Oh, I invited your girlfriend Error too, just so you know. See you soon!” With that, the twins were gone.

Ink blinked. Once. Twice. She blushed quickly as the words her friends used suddenly sunk in. “She’s not my girlfriend!” She called out to no one, before mumbling to herself, “Unfortunately.”

“Who ya talking to?”

Ink jumped again and turned. She froze. There the biker was, gazing at Ink with eyes that she couldn’t read. She only knew they were very pretty blue eyes with…was that a little yellow at the top? Oh god, they got prettier!

“Uh…” Ink said, unable to form words.

Error gazed at her silently for a few more seconds before smiling softly. The smile felt like a fatal wound against Ink’s heart. The pitter-patter of sudden rain distracted them both and they looked through the doors to the outside. It was raining now. And it was raining hard.

“Shit.” Ink heard Error swear beside her. Ink seconded the statement in her head.

“Yeah.” She said out loud. She hugged herself, already beginning to shiver. “And I have to walk without a jacket.”

Caught up in her worries, she didn’t notice Error staring at her. She felt something but she mostly ignored it in favour of deciding how to get home. A weight settled on her shoulders and she snapped out of it, looking down.

The jacket. Error’s jacket. Was on her shoulders.

She blinked at it for a few seconds, unable to get her brain to work properly. That is, until the jacket’s owner shifted beside her, sighing.

“Look,” Error said, drawing Ink’s attention. “I would drive you home too, but I was supposed to be home, like, five minutes ago so…” She gave an apologetic smile. It was illegal to be that pretty. Ink was suing her. “Sorry, you’ll still have to walk.” She bit her lip and seemed to think for a few seconds.

Before Ink could begin to catch up, Error brightened and snapped her fingers, fiddling with her phone. “I know! You’re going to the party, right? I’ll pick you up! What’s your address?”

Ink blinked and told her address without thinking.

“Great!” Error put her phone away and started to walk to her bike.

Ink blinked yet again. “What—wait! Your jacket—”

“Keep it!” Error called back putting on her helmet and hopping on her bike, starting it. She grinned back at Ink. “I can take it back when I pick you up. See you later, Doll!” With that, she drove off.

Ink stood there for a few more seconds. Her blushed had deepened from being called that pet name, though she was sure it was an accident. She smiled to herself, starting the walk home while gripping the jacket.

She had a new confidence within her.

Yeah, tonight she’ll make her move.

~oOo~

She can’t do this.

She was watching Error while standing by the wall with a cup in her hand. People talked all around her, but she couldn’t focus on anything but the biker. Error was currently laughing at something someone was saying.

(Again, it is definitely illegal to be that pretty.)

She wanted to move closer, to finally make her move. But so many things could go wrong. She didn’t even know if Error saw her the same way. But she did give Ink her jacket, which had been given back to her…

Ugh, why couldn’t this be simple?

Ink sighed and walked through the crowd of people and out to the backyard. Surprisingly, nobody was out there. She leaned her arms on the porch raining and looked up at the night sky. It was pretty, almost as pretty as Error.

“Aw, I’m flattered!”

Ink startled, losing her balance and almost falling but an arm stopped her. The two paused for a moment, the sounds of the party muffled behind them. Ink stared up at Error. She was sure her face was full-on rainbow by now. Error, on the other hand, seemed to think this was normal.

“Sorry!” Error eventually said, after a while of staring into Ink’s eyes. She helped Ink onto her feet before continuing, rubbing the back of her neck. “I didn’t mean to scare you, Doll.”

Ink’s heart skipped a beat at the nickname again. “It’s fine!” She managed to squeak out.

Error laughed. It was honestly the most beautiful sound Ink had ever heard. She took pride in the fact that she had been the cause of it. “Okay.”

They stood there together for a minute, looking anywhere but each other. The stars twinkled in amusement at them.

“Heya, Doll?” Error eventually said, tone unrecognizable.

Ink blinked. She looked back to Error, who was staring at her with an unreadable expression. “Yeah?”

Error didn’t say anything, only walked forward. She stopped when she was right in front of Ink, who hadn’t move in fear of disrupting this moment. It seemed almost magical to her. Their faces slowly moved forward until they were inches apart. In the last second, both of them closed their eyes and their lips connected.

It was a wonderful first kiss. A party in the background. The night sky above them. The sound of a polaroid camera taking their picture. Ink didn’t dwell on the last one, though, because at that moment…

At that moment, all she could think was:

Man, I love the taste of sour candies now…

Dream grinned as she placed the photo of Ink and Error kissing onto a board full of other people kissing. One more down.
