A/N: Chara is a bit OOC, I think I made them act a bit too much like Frisk. I was however, trying to make them sound innocent and sweet so Asriel wouldn't really see the exchange as anything but an innocent promise. Asriel is too sweet. Too pure. Too good for this world. That being said I hope you enjoy!
Asriel had always loved flowers, especially the golden ones that would sometimes blow through the barrier on days like today when it was especially windy up above. His fondness towards them mostly just came from how much his sibling, Chara, liked the flowers though; when the golden petals rained down they'd just stare up at them a big smile on their face. When he asked them why it would always be the same simple answer "It reminds me of home." Asriel liked when they smiled, but he didn't like the look they'd get talking about their home. Their eyes always looked glassy, their shoulders deflated, they were always very upset talking about the surface. Chara must miss their home very much. That's why Asriel wanted to bring them back up there very much.
It was an impossible dream. No monster or human could pass back up onto the surface, but Asriel was sure he'd figure out something…somehow. If he managed it he'd make his sibling happy and that was all that really mattered. People talked about the humans that lived up above a lot; they said they were meaner than Chara was and would probably hurt any monster that dared pass by the barrier. That was a scary thought in itself. If Asriel did manage to get to the surface for his sibling there was no telling what would happen up there. The little monster clenched his fists and stared into the shower of golden petals that rained down onto his head. The surface looked so … beautiful … from down here. It…It didn't matter what was up there. As long as it made Chara happy he'd find a way…He had to find a way…
"Whatcha thinkin' about, Asriel?" Asriel spun around shaking golden petals from his head. Seeing Chara he grinned.
"Guess what! I'm going to come up with a way to get you to the surface again!" He exclaimed. "So that you can see the flowers!"
Chara tilted their head gaining a level of innocence Asriel was sure only his sibling could ever achieve. "But…What about the barrier? Nobody can cross it…"
"Dad said you'd need a human and a monster soul to cross it," Asriel corrected. "Well…He didn't say it to me but I heard him saying it to Mom when you first got here. I don't really know how it would work out but I'm a monster and you're a human so I'm sure if we could find a way…we could cross the barrier and get you home."
Chara's face lit up. "R-Really?"
Asriel nodded "Yup! I promise I'll find a way Chara!"
Chara's eyes were beginning to fill with tears; they walked up to stand next to their foster brother and stared up into the rain of flower petals that was only just beginning to slow. "I don't think you'd like my home much, just because of all the...people. You'd probably like a sunset though; it's a mixture of so many different colors. Oh and the stars, you'd like the stars Asriel."
Asriel wanted to see the sunset and he wanted to see the stars, but mostly he just wanted Chara to see the flowers. Maybe Chara wanted to see the sunset and the stars too; they probably did considering how long they'd been gone from their home. He'd help them see that too. He'd noticed how poorly they spoke of the other humans up on earth. It was no real surprise, Asriel had heard so many bad things about the other humans he wouldn't be surprised if they were mean to his precious sibling too. "I'll do anything, Chara, to get you back up there."
Chara wrapped their sibling up in a tight hug, a giant grin on their face. "Thank you Asriel! Thank you so much! I thought Dad was going to be the one to help me get home…" They paused. "But it's you…"
Asriel hugged back completely unaware of the chain of events he had just set off. "I'll always be here to help. You're my sibling after all, I love you Chara."
Asriel had always liked flowers. So had Chara. It was kind of ironic in the end.
