Undertale: Asriel x Chara Chapter 1 (Chasriel)
Author's note: Brief note and some context.
Firstly, thanks to everyone who have read/viewed my work, as it means a lot! After some research of controversy surrounding this ship, I decided to add this note to clarify details, and generally improve reader experience. Asriel is male, Chara is female and this ship is NOT incest. (Although, I don't wish to be ignorant of Chara's unspecified gender, this was merely my choice). From my perspective, this story would take place after a genocide route. Asriel is alive after being revived by an omnipotent, god-like Chara, (given power by the levels gained in game) who toys with her best friend and rekindles their deep relationship with him, but is Asriel ready for this though? With this information out of the way, the story can begin…
He was running. Running from a demon, running from a murderer, running from his closest companion. He never thought that he'd ever have to flee from his friend, but that had long since changed. Another slash barely scraped him, causing a small scratch which slowly secreted his internal fluid. Asriel had never seen his own… (What was it his parents called it again?) "Dust."
His parents. They had always loved him dearly, but they had also loved HER, once upon a time. But that's in the past. They were gone forever, permanently purged from existence by THEM. As Flowey, he hadn't cared, (with no soul, he had no emotions after all) but now he realised that they were gone… He felt as if he had lost a part of himself. It didn't matter anymore, none of it did. Everyone in the Underground is dead, their remains lining the heartless hands of the "human" he'd once called his friend. But maybe, he could talk with them? He knew there was no saving them, but if he could reach out to them… Another swipe denied his hopes and dreams. The so-called "human" twirled the knife with glee, giggling in a childish manner tinged with a dark, violent edge.
"Frisk wait, please-"
"SHUT UP!" They screamed violently. "Frisk is DEAD! I would know, I watched their neutral expressionless face distort into a visage of pain and suffering, and then I murdered them, and I enjoyed every, single, moment of it." Wait, then that means… It is them!
"D-do you know who I am?" Asriel enquired in an inquisitive tone, laced with fear.
"Another victim, a source of EXP and LOVE, so I may grow yet stronger. You mean nothing to me, whoever you are." No, no! This couldn't be, they were his best friend, how could they so carelessly cast him aside like that?
"Chara, it's me. Your best friend, Asriel Dreemurr." He never thought he'd be saying those words again. He repeated again in an anxious tone, distraught by the silence from the human. "Chara?"
The human's eyes lost their ominous crimson gleam and shrunk. She replied curiously.
"Asriel?" He was ecstatic, they did remember him! He began to approach them confidently, when their eyes grew once again, which caused him to swiftly retreat. "What's wrong Asriel? Don't you like me?" Chara enquired in a sincere sadness that broke Asriel's heart. He said nothing, his face blank like a canvas. Chara continued speaking, but this time it intimidated Asriel. "Let's play a game… I'll chase you, like old times, and if I catch you…" She brought the blade closer to his face, Asriel was petrified. "I'll kill you."
She finished merrily with, "Okay, Asriel? It's kill or be killed!"
