(A/N I'm sorry for not being able to post a chapter last weekend! But here we are, onto chapter three!)
Being pinned up against a locker and holding a flowerpot in this hands was not Nikolai's ideal way to start a Monday.
Why it started like that, he didn't know.
The flower in his hands was quiet. Niko prayed silently that he would act up, sooner or later.
"Whatcha' doin' with that pot, flower boy?" The teen asked.
"U-um….." Niko shook the pot. "Wake up!" He said under his breath.
"You talkin' to the flower now?" The older human ripped the pot out of his hands. "What if I just drop it?" He threatened.
"Hey! Put me down!"
That high pitched voice was Niko's saving grace.
"What do you think your doin'?" The little flower yelled.
"H-huh?" The bully released Nikolai from his grasp. Niko grabbed Flowey and ran.
"Don't mess with my family, jerk!" Flowey shouted to the bully.
"Family?" Nikolai asked himself. The snow outside littered the pavement as he ran home from school. He shivered from the cold.
He leaned against the door frame, catching his breath. The little flower in his arms was silent.
"F-flowey, you okay?" Niko asked.
"Y-yeah. Now, could ya close the door? It's cold enough already!" Flowey attempted to return to his narcissistic nature, but Nikolai could hear the pain in his voice.
Niko shut the door, walking up to his sibling's room to return the plant.
"So, how's it go?" Frisk signed to Niko as soon as they saw him enter the room.
"As good as it could have gone." He responded.
"Also…." Frisk stopped signing.
"What?" Niko asked, sitting down on the bed.
"PTA meeting tonight." Frisk finished.
Niko slumped down. "Goooooood. Just perfect." Niko said, with a long, drawn out sigh.
He set Flowey on the bed and walked out. "I'm goin' to hang out with Cin."
Soon enough, Cin and him were on the couch, playing Mario Kart Wii.
"Dude, that was a cheap shot!" Cin shouted, falling off the edge of a cliff in the game.
"Well, at least I'm not that friend who picks Rainbow Road." He responded, racing past the spot where she fell. "You brought this upon yourself."
"Well YOU'RE actually good at the game! I thought this course would even us out a bit!" Cin argued back.
The race ended, and Niko slumped back onto the couch.
"Hey, wanna go to the PTA meeting with me?" Niko asked.
"No."
"Too bad."
"Dang it, Niko." Cin sighed out. "I'm only doing this because i'm bored."
"I know."
"Hey, dude, I heard about this really cool game called Undertale. Maybe we should try it out sometime." Cin suggested.
"What's it about?" Niko asked.
Well, it includes the whole human monster war thing and Mount Short, but after that, it's an original story." Cin explained.
"Oh, so it's like a fan fiction about real life. Cool!"

Nikolai was sitting next to Cin, who had never gone to a meeting. Niko had dragged her along for the night, as he was completely done being bored.
"It seems as we have a new member here. Let's introduce ourselves."
"Oh boy, it's Linda. She's better not talk trash about Frisk." Niko thought to himself. Frisk looked tense, the sixteen year old clasping their hands together.
Cin introduced herself first. "I'm Cin Gaster." She started with her full name.
They all went around introducing themselves.
"I'm Frisk Dr-" Of course, they were cut off.
"Frisk," Linda started. "I doubt Cin can understand whatever your doing. Why don't you speak." It wasn't a question, it was a statement.
Cin started again. "For your information, I am fluent in sign language. So it's fine."
Linda scoffed. "Of course, you skeletons always think her behavior is fine."
Cin's eyes narrowed. "Skeleton? Her? For your information, I am a skeleton-robot hybrid. And, Frisk is non-binary."
After that, the meeting went on as normal.

"Cin, now it's my turn to say you were awesome." Niko said, sitting on a hill next to Cin.
"Heh, thanks."
It was silent for a while.
"Hey, Cin, what do you want for a family when your older?" Niko asked.
"Well, a husband and kids, duh." She responded nonchalantly.
"Me too." Niko said.
"Who would be the lucky lady?" Cin asked.
"Well, she's nice and kind, and has stuck by me no matter what." Niko said, hoping his blush wasn't evident in the darkness.
"Again, who is it?" Cin repeated.
"Not tellin' you," Niko paused. "But you'll find out sooner or later. Anyway, she's great."
Niko found himself lucky that, sometimes, his friend could be clueless.

A figure stood in front of the young monster. They had piercing red eyes, the color of blood. A knife was clutched in their right hand.
"Nikolai, oh, Nikolai. How naive it is of you to have come here." The figure said.
"Who are you?!" Niko shouted, suddenly feeling threatened.
"You can just call me CHARA." The person said, dropping their knife on the floor, walking up to Nikolai. They put a finger under his chin, forcing Niko to look up.
"Oh, how you remind me of Asriel. It's a shame he's gone, and Frisk managed to repel me from their soul, even after they killed everything." Chara's face twisted into a sickening grin. "I guess you'll have to be my plaything for now."
Niko shot up from his bed, his hair desheveled. He hadn't had a nightmare like that since he was little.
"Who's CHARA?" He asked himself. He eventually just brushed it off, and fell back asleep.
"Oh, how wrong you were to do that, Nikolai Dreemurr."

"Hey, Flowey, do you know who CHARA is?"
The flower looked at him, shocked. "N-no. Never heard a name like that before."
Niko hummed to himself as he held the flower pot in his arms at the bus stop.
Suddenly the flower perked up. "Where did you learn that song?" He asked.
"Oh, 'Memory'? Frisk used to hum it to me when I was little."
He heard Flowey mumble something like, 'Frisk, you traitor' under his breath.
"What's the big deal?" Niko asked.
The flower had a pained look in his eyes. "There's no big deal." He said quickly.
"Okay."
They sat in silence.
Then Flowey said something.
"You'll find out sooner or later."
(A/N: That's chapter three! I apologize if this one's a bit short, I'm writing it the day it's published. So, onto reviews this chapter!
crazybotanical56: Here's your Flowey this chapter! Niko may or may not be finding out that his brother is a narcissistic yellow flower!
Soggy Fat Face: Wow! I'm glad you like this for so much and think it's quality!
Fun fact of the chapter: I write this all in one document in Google docs. The document is named "The Daily Life Of Nikolai Dreemurr"!
*Bonus! I internally cringe every time I see the description for this fic!
Thanks for reading!
