OTP Week Day One: Meeting
Error was fighting against Ink, as usual, while Nightmare was fighting his brother, Dream. Error was growing tired, having destroyed a few universes before this, and knew he was losing this fight. He caught Ink in his strings and threw him far away enough so that he can make a portal and leave. As he opened a portal to the Anti-Void, he got hit by a heavy object and fell into his portal. He closed it after he landed, and realized the object was still on him. He strung it up and looked at it, but found it was Dream!
He never really knew Dream, only knew that he hung out with Ink and was Nightmare's brother. He decided he didn't really care, maybe he can keep him here for a while. He'll release him after a while. As he turned to walk away, Dream spoke up. "Uh, can you let me down, please?"
Dream only knew Error from the battles he has with Ink. He doesn't know what Error is like, honestly. He just hopes he can get out of this, he's honestly kinda scared. "I'm sorry that I kinda hit you, if I could've avoided it, I would've." Error waved him off. "You're fine, you didn't throw yourself at me. I'll mess with Nightmare for that later." Dream felt the strings release him, and he fell to the "ground."
Dream didn't try to leave just yet, curiosity overtaking his fear of Error. "Um, Error?" Error looked back at him, looking annoyed but patient. "Why is it that you destroy universes? There's a reason, right? I know Ink thinks it'sjust because you're insane, but I know he isn't entirely reliable on some things, and I always wanted to ask you, since there must be another side to the story."
Error was shocked, no one really asked him that before, not in any kind of peaceful way. Nor with any chance of actually giving the answer, as they(usually Ink) usually just starts fighting him. He considered telling him, but decided to do it another time. "If you really want to know, maybe meet me in Outertale sometime, and don't let Ink interrupt us. This isn't the best place for long conversations."
He opens a portal to a pacifist AU for Dream. "Go on, you can leave. I'll see you again, especially if you're serious." Dream nodded, "I'm serious, I'll try to meet you there. I do want to know the whole story." Dream leaves through the portal and thinks about how he can keep Ink from finding out about the meetup.
So, here's my part of the OTP week challenge that @reshramlove1ob is hosting. I might change the pairing for each prompt, as I don't have just one ship for a pair of characters. This one is Error x Dream, set in the FGOD!Error multiverse. (I know you aren't as into this concept due to Dream not being very smart in that one, but I did make alterations to Dream here. Not because I'm trying to make it more appealing to you, but because you made a good point about that.)
