Summary:

something is growing in error's hands

Chapter 1

Chapter Text

 

 

Error had been sick; this sickness came in the form of him glitches more than normal, feeling like he was going to melt and a large bubble appearing on the palm of his left hand. Then his right later on. 

Error kept wanting to eat, sleep and do nothing. Which was strange, since he was always doing something. And eating and sleeping were not something he needed. 

 

Then one day, the bubble just popped. 

 

Blinking, Error watches in silence as tiny little spider-like creatures came pouring out. 

 

They reminded him of Fresh... although, these were a much darker purple almost black in colour. And the ends of their tentacles were red and yellow... they also had tiny cyan colour markings from their 'eye' in the centre. 

The creatures crawl around his arms and into his ribs, they found his SOUL and went inside...

The ERROR had too much mana for them to do much damage, so he shrugs it off and forgets about them. Now he had large holes on each hand, making it look like a Gaster's hand. 

 

Suddenly his mate returns, it was not unusual for them to be apart for a number of years before finding each other again. 

 

"*Yo! Wha-" Fresh stops whatever he was saying, questions marks appearing on his glasses before they go blank, "Error! Are you cheatin' on lit' old me?" 

"*what?" Error asks, putting on his glasses so he could see his idiot, "i ain't been out my anti-void for years. working from home and making a large list before i go on my next rampage."

"*There's somethin' movin' in your SOUL. A lot." Fresh told him coming over and settling down next to him, "Let me see."

"*that's a new host right. ya really gonna let it dust?" Error questions with a huff, "just look normally." he summons his SOUL and blinks at the sight. 

 

It was wrapped in blue strings, forming a shape of a real SOUL, well, if it was bigger... and Error did not have a normal shape, to begin with, so why it was like that he did not know. 

Fresh removes his glasses and his main body gazes out, staring at the string-covered SOUL. The strings seemed to part and tiny little creatures appear, the moves around the strings. 

 

Suddenly Error remembers them and recalls them being a lot smaller.

 

"*Error..." Fresh growls out, his main body hisses slightly, "These are not my offsprin' and yet are my offsprin'."

"*oh. ya normally have offspring on ya own when ya finished munching on those souls." Error told him with a glare, "this isn't ya offspring. they're our offspring. we made them the last time ya were here."

"*Oh? Oh!" Fresh says with a grin and places his glasses back on, "When I went inside you and nested in your SOUL?! Ha! I didn't think it was possible." 

"*i wonder if their settings are the same as ya?" Error questions with a bold grin, "out bratlings are so cute."

"*What are we gonna name them?" Fresh questions with a grin to match the ERROR's.

"*what like how ya called fresh_virus and i'm called the error?" Error responses with a deep frown, "or personally names?"

"*Personally names!" Fresh answers looking pleased, "Names are the first gift parents give to their offsprin'."

Error blinks, "*fresh. there're over 9000 here." he informs him. 

"*What! 9000!" Fresh cries out shocked, "I normally have more than that!"

"*might just because they're different from ya." Error told him with a sigh, "if ya really want to give them all individual names. then we better start now. there's a lot to go through."

"*Right!" Fresh points to the SOUL, where the little creatures still move around, "This one is Pog. And this one is Cabbage."

"*stop. stop. stop." Error waves his hand away, "let's move them over to one step once they're named. also. if they're anything like me. their names should be updated on their menu. and i can sometimes see names of characters above their head."

"*Did you little creepers hear that? Move to one side once you're named." Fresh told them kindly, "So Pog and Cabbage. Go over here." he points to the left of the SOUL, "the rest of you. move over to the right side." the cluster of creatures all move over the right while two went to the left, "Ok! Let's start again! This one is Blockbuster. You are Tamo. And you-"

 

Error sat there listening to his mate, he sees the little creatures move to one side once they were named and noticed their names appearing over there form. 

 

"*Mate. Are you going to name some?" Fresh question with a smile, seemingly having a good time.

"*sure. this one is glare bear. heh. and that one buggy. that one blunder. gaffe. moth. delusion. egg. oco. err.. yeah. ya can be err. fail. decay..."

"*Mm. Radical. Extreme. Drastic. Fanatical. Coolbeans-"

 

It went on for a long time but the mad pair did name them all. 

 

 

Chapter 2

Chapter Text

 

 

Error was not sure what to call them as a being. They were half monster and half virus. So he called his offspring monrus. 

 

And then became angry at himself for naming them something so dumb...

 

"*what's with monsters and their poor choice of naming things." Error growls at himself, then glares at his chest. They had been living with him for the past 100 years and now seem to be ready to leave. 

 

They crawl all around his bones and he was fine with them doing. But because they were a VIRUS, they meant have shut down something that masks his sense of fear, feeling or even touch. 

 

"*gonna leave the nest are we?" Error asks them as they were all outside together, staring at him, "i understand. get lost."

 

Strings came from their eyes and float upwards, one by one they start drifting off and when they got to a certain point, a tiny portal would open and they vanished. 

 

Soon they were all gone, leaving Error alone... 

 

 

Chapter 3

Chapter Text

 

 

 

Error blinks at the strange skeleton walking his way with a large and creepy, grin on his jaws- he was prepared for a fight. 

 

"*Mama!" The strange skeleton greets him..., "So nice for you to visit! Welcome!"

 

Error blinks and then let his skill Core Sight come on- above the skeleton's skull, a name appeared; 'Groovy'.

 

"*ya over 500 years old. and ya still calling me 'mama'?" Error says with a loud snort, "whatever. nice to see ya. groovy." 

 

Error had seen one of his offspring every few years. So he was not surprised. And they did not always go into Sanses. Fresh_VIRUS loved Fresh Sanses so used that as a model for when he dresses the Sanses he overtakes. 

If one finds a certain creature they like, they would stick to that one creature. 

 

Like the fact that Groovy was in the body of a Papyrus.
