Work Text:
Error was not one to feel lonely.
Maybe it had to do with the fact that he was so used to being alone. since as far back as he could remember he always been in his Anti-void.
Or it's because He has himself, the greatest company in the whole Multiverse! Anyone would loved to hang out with him. why wouldn't they? He's smart tough and cute the whole damn package!
And even besides that, he was never actually alone. The voices were always there to keep him company. much to his dismay sometimes. they could be seriously annoying.
Regardless!
He didn't get lonely.
Much...
Sometimes - very rarely! he really just wanted someone to talk to, or even just hang out in each other presence.
The voices were good company don't get him wrong, but half the time he wasn't convinced they were even real.
Despite Ink and Fresh both confirming them to be. After realizing most couldn't actually hear them because of Blueberry, it really made him start to question reality.
But other outcodes or most Universes monsters he knew for a fact that they were real, because he wasn't the only one to interact with them.
One moment passed and some noise was heard.
Has his wish for company actually come true?
"Yo! glitch-heart!"
Ugh- Yes, but it's the Parasite...
"What?" he yells not bothering to look over.
"Inkly brah wanted ta know if you were gonna be destroying those unrad half finished copies. Cuz apparently dey got nobody in'm."
Wait- Really?? That's fucking weird.
"I guess, you know- at some point." he shrugged looking at the other with a tired expression.
Fresh chuckled. "Hmmm'Key dat was all- imma bounce-"
"Wait!-" Error exclaims, stopping the other in his tracks.
"Yea- What?"
"Uh-" What was he supposed to say? If he tells the truth the Parasite might just mock him over it.
Fresh raised a brow.
"For-Forget it! Nevermind!" Error face flushed.
The other smirks. "Just out with it yo! Better ta say it now before it just burst outta ya!"
Error rolled his eyes. "I won't even care later."
Maybe it'll be worth the risk? He seriously doubts it but-
"I just- didn't- want to be alone..." Error mumbles. though Fresh clearly heard him as the other tensed.
"Oh-" Fresh lay a hand behind his neck awkwardly. "Ya sure ya want ma ta stay tho? I mean m'not da best company."
"You really aren't-"
"OI!-"
"But you're better than nothing..." Unfortunately he meant it too...
Fresh hummed before sitting down.
Error felt his Soul become lighter.
"Do ya want ta talk? Or just hang n ignore each other existence?"
Thank Asgore. Not only is he staying but he didn't make fun of him for it either. Well- Yet anyways.
"Um- Whatever..." he shrugged again.
"Key-" Fresh pulled out his phone-
"You have a phone??" Error exclaims, making the other laugh.
"Yea bro! Frisk tried giving ya one too in case ya forgot."
"Core Frisk?" The glitch raises a brow.
"It's Frisk. but Yea."
"I f{unking} know that!" Error rolled his eyes. "But there's billions of Frisks."
The parasite chuckled. "homeslice ya should totes get one so I can send yo da best memes!"
"Exactly why I won't do that."
Fresh rolled his eyes even though the other couldn't see it. "Ya don't have ta give everyone yo number ya know?"
"At least Frisk wouldn't hand my number out, if Ink got a hold of it..." he trail off as the other laughed.
"Everybody'd have it within a day."
"Just to annoy me, and don't act like you're any better, you'd do the same s{uit}."
The parasite shrugged. "It would be pretty funny."
The glitch groaned. "Back to ignoring each other."
"Frankly we never actually started." Fresh declares drawing his attention to his phone.
Error just stared at the other momentarily.
It was strange seeing Fresh so chill.
But it made sense he guessed, the other didn't come here just to annoy him for once. though considering he wanted company, he doesn't think he would of been that bothered this time even if that was the goal.
Though It was also odd The parasite seemed so fine with hangging here with him, he didn't really even hesitate. which would be suspicious, if the other wasn't actually completely ignoring him now.
...Hm
The voices are too loud, he could almost forget someone real was even here with him, since they were in silence.
The loneliness felt the same...
"What-? um-" Error tried but fell short.
Fresh give a smirk. "What?"
"What are you doing?" What would a parasite even do on a phone? cyberstalk their next victim?
"Playing Flappy bird- actually a recreation, da OG was taken down long ago."
"Right..." He has no idea what that is. "Do you think there's games on there I might like?"
"Dunno, maybe. There's a lot-o brain rotting games, but on da other hand there's plenty of puzzle type too. Ya like either of those?"
"No." Error declares without hesitation.
Fresh laughed. "Welp- Prob not than."
"Small lost. Can you keep talking?"
The other eyes widened from the request.
"Yo want me to talk??" He exclaims. "Ya really aren't in da best mind set are ya?"
Error just glared.
"Anywho-" He shrugged. "What exactly do ya want ma ta talk bout?"
"Whatever, You never shut up, just think of something."
Fresh chuckled. "Alright, but yo gonna regret dat request."
"I never doubted it."
Fresh grinned. "Did ya know there's many different Furby dat been released? Da 1998 Furby da first generation of Furby. then Furby baby and Furby buddy in 1999. Friends of Furby 1998. Shelby in 2001. Emoto-tronic Fruby 2005 along with 2005 Furby baby. Funky Furby in 2006. 2012 Furby/Furby boom. Furby connect 2016. Furby 2023 along with Fruby baby. There's also lots-o knock off Furby from 1999. Also happy meal Furby, McD in 1998 n 2000 n Furby boom 2013. And Burger king 2005. As well as two tiger Funko pop Furbies one figure n one keychain in 2020. in 2024 dey also made Furby valentines and Easter baskets with lil plushies."
Error give a confused expression. "When was the Long Furby then?" He can't believe he's entertaining this conversation.
Fresh howled with laughter. "Dat's a fan art kinda thing bro! Dey still totally radical tho! n I might be forgetting some anyways, there's so many."
Error rolled his eyes with a smirk. "Clearly."
It was strange he didn't care about Furbies in the slightest, but it was also nice hearing about them. he really must be losing it.
"Can't believe we had such cursed creature since 1998."
"OI! Dey da most adorbs beings in the Multiverse I'd have ya know!" Fresh cried in fake mocked."Ya know there's also Tattletail in Tattletail da game. Squirby in Splatoon 3, and Chattermax in Bluey."
Error had a bewildered look. "It just never ends."
"Well maybe ya should've given a topic then bruh! I didn't even add Freshby in MommaCQ."
"The f(unk) is that??"
"Nevermind." Fresh waved it off. "Anywho if I had a forever home I'd start a collection of Furbies, but don really got a place for dat."
"Right." Error never really thought about where the parasite might of lived before, in his mind as long as he was no where near him, he didn't care.
But thinking about it now, it was kind of unnerving to think the other didn't have a place to call his own. The Anti-void wasn't all that great in itself, but at least he has a home.
"You know Ink probably wouldn't care if I 'missed' one of those empty Universes." he tried to offer up without any emotion in it.
The other stared at him momentarily with a unknown expression.
"Dat's... An idea."
Error returned the stare.
"It's staying there regardless, take or leave it. I don't give a s{uit}."
Fresh smirked. "If ya say so." he clearly had more to say about it, but only silent followed.
The glitch rolled his eyes, and took hold of his knitting needles, hoping the other would get the hint of ignoring each other now.
The parasite did, continuing on with his game.
