He knew he shouldn’t be doing it. They were Ink’s sworn enemy. But…

    Dream stepped through the portal, box of chocolates in hand as the anti-void came into view. A beanbag was visible in the distance, and so Dream started walking towards it.

    As he got closer, the figure that was laying on it became visible as well. Error was working on one of his dolls, as per usual. 

    The two of them had been together for a while, but it was difficult to meet up, due to Dream’s friendship with Ink. Today though, the glowing skeleton was able to shake off the artist by telling him he was going to check up on a few friends.

    “Hey Error,” Dream said, glow brightening the slightest bit. Error looked up at him, eyelights immediately drawn to the box being held by the gloved hands. 

    Dream sat down next to Error, not touching even if what Dream wanted was to hug his boyfriend all day, everyday.

     “We’ve been together for a few months, and I just wanted to give this to you,” Dream said, holding out the red, heart-shaped box to the glitching skeleton. 

    “O-oh. Th@n$ Dre-e-eam,” Error said, mismatched eyelights wide at the thought of such a gift. 

    “I….I go-ot you $ometh!ng t-t-too.”

    Dream looked up at him in shock. Gifts were something Dream loved to give, but he knew that Error wasn’t as big a fan of that. So the thought that they would give him something never occurred to him.

    “Hold out-out your h@nd-d,” Error said. “And close-ose your eye$.”

    Dream did as was asked, confusion making itself known. “You know you didn’t have to get me anything starlight,” he said, smile broadening. 

     There was no response, but Dream felt something in his hand. He didn’t move though, knowing that that may ruin the surprise.

    “Y-you c@n look no-ow-ow.”

    Dream opened his eyes, looking at Error. He seemed to be glitching more than usual, though Dream wasn’t sure why until he looked at his hand.

    Dream gasped. “Error you…”

    A multicolored hand lay atop his own, glitching yes, but it was there. Dream spent a few moments just looking, both at the hand and at his boyfriend.

    “Error how…?” Dream was amazed. His boyfriend had such extreme reactions to touch of any kind, the simplest tap causing him to crash. A whole hand…

     “I do-on’t know. I ju$t…” they trailed off, looking to the side as a yellow blush crept up on his face. 
 
    “I'd love to hug you, but u get the feeling that you would crash if you have anymore touch at the moment,” Dream said, glow brightening ever so slightly more.

     Error snatched his hand away, looking insulted. Dream just rolled his eyelights, settling down against the beanbag, as the glitch opened a portal to Undernovela and opened his chocolates.

    The two of them spent the next hour or two just chilling. Then Dream got a text from Ink and he had to leave before the artist got suspicious. 

    “Thanks for the gift, my dear.” Error glitched a bit, seeming ready to punch the glowing skeleton. Thinking better of it, the glitch grabbed Dream’s hand, squeezing it a bit before letting go.

    “…Thank$ for th-the chocol@tes,” he said, covering his bright yellow face in his scarf. Dream smiled, before opening a portal and walking through.
