UNDERTALE
RESET
Dinner was placed on the small table in the kitchen. Mitsu stared at the food, not even wanting to lay a finger on it. Frisk was eating, and so was Sans. Mitsu didn't. He didn't trust Tristan, he didn't believe anything he said. God, he didn't even want to look in his face.
Mitsu was a grumpy person. He got irritated at the smallest things, and hated when people made fun of something he sees as serious. And Tristan just forced himself to join them though they didn't need him at all. Or so Mitsu saw it.
In any case, Mitsu did not like it at all. It irritated him.
"Why aren't you eating, kid?" Mitsu resisted the urge to growl at the blond as the words left his mouth. Tristan seemed not to notice, and proceeded to place a bowl of stir-fried vegetables in front of him. "You should eat to stay healthy."
"Shut up..." the other hissed. Tristan blinked.
"But-"
"I don't want anything from you!" he finally yelled, getting up and walking out of the house. Silence filled the air.
"Welp, there he goes." Sans shrugged. "Don't mind him. He's always like that."
"...I guess he doesn't like me at all..." Tristan said, but he was smiling. He went on eating his food like nothing had happened.
Outside, Mitsu sat next to the door, hugging his knees and sulking.
"Stupid blond idiot..." he muttered, staring into the darkness of the caverns. Tristan's house was facing the entrance of the caverns, where the person he was looking for is hiding. He sighed heavily, closing his eyes.
"Hey." He looked up to see Sans standing in front of him. The skeleton sat down beside him. "You look upset... More than usual."
"What if I am?"
"What's bothering ya?"
"Nothing that concerns you." was the reply of the other. Sans sighed.
"I don't get why you aren't opening up."
"I don't want to, okay?" Mitsu got up from his place and walked off somewhere. Sans shook his head.
"He'll come back..."
Next day, Tristan woke up first. There was no sign of Mitsu or Sans. He sighed and went to prepare some breakfast. Just as he was done frying eggs, he heard someone calling him. It was Frisk.
"Oh, hey, Frisk." He smiled. "Want some fried eggs?" Frisk, who was standing next to the door, nodded. Tristan served Frisk some and they both sat at the table, eating peacefully.
"Sans and Mitsu are waiting outside." Frisk spoke suddenly. "Mitsu says you can come along."
"Oh, he's finally gonna befriend me?" Tristan beamed.
"...Uh...I don't think so." The kid laughed a little at Tristan as his smile was replaced with a pout.
"Ah, never mind."
They were both done with food. Frisk helped Tristan pack some medicine, food, firewood, a pot and a couple of lighters. When they went outside, Mitsu snapped at them for being late, and then proceeded to walk ahead of them with a torch in his hand. The other three just followed, with Sans quietly commenting on Mitsu's bad mood.
Tristan was the one with the map. He gave directions as he was the one who actually lived in these tunnels for a while. Mitsu followed his direction reluctantly, getting ever-so-slightly irritated when Tristan pet his head every time he listened to him. It was quite entertaining... At least to Frisk and Sans.
"Can we stop for a moment?" Tristan said as they reached a dark area. "I'm hungry."
"No, we have to keep going." Mitsu replied firmly. Tristan smirked and folded his arms.
"Fine then, but I won't give any directions. Let's see what you're gonna do without me." The smirk he had, that challenging tone he spoke with, it all felt familiar to Mitsu. yet, he couldn't put a finger on it. Nevertheless, he sighed.
"Fine! We will rest for the night."
"How did you know it was night?" Both Sans and Tristan asked, then they started laughing. Mitsu rolled his eyes.
"Idiots." Frisk glanced at them then locked their eyes on Mitsu. The latter looked...grim. Like something was bothering him. But Frisk decided not to ask. Mitsu never liked it when people tried to help him, for some reason only he knew. The kid decided to listen to Tristan and Sans, throwing jokes back and forth while Tristan set up a fire and started cooking some stew.
"Say, Tristan, are you human?" Frisk asked suddenly. Tristan stopped his joke midway and turned to him.
"Well, yeah. Do I not look like one?"
"I was just wondering." Frisk shrugged. Tristan pinched his cheeks.
"Okay, buddy."
Tristan served the food, and they were all eating peacefully. Until they heard these noises. Frisk put their bowl down slowly and glanced around. Mitsu got into a fighting stance, Sans just stood up, and Tristan looked around in confusion. "What's wrong?" asked he.
"...I hear someone... No," Mitsu paused. "...Some people..."
"Eh?"
"Someone has been following us..." He replied.
"Really? They must have walked around for long." Tristan laughed a little.
"What do you mean?" Mitsu glanced at the waiter.
"Well, if they have been following us since we left the village, they would need about three days to reach us." Tristan explained, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. Mitsu and Frisk didn't understand.
"What are you saying? We only left the village 5 hours ago." Frisk said. tristan face-plamed.
"Ah, sorry! I think my mind went off for a second... hehehehe..." he laughed nervously. Mitsu gave him a suspicious look, but shook it off quickly. Just then, something attacked Tristan, pinning him to the ground. "Gah! Get off!" The thing didn't. It grabbed him by the collar.
"Food! Give me food!" the thing said, growling at him. Tristan struggled to free himself, but the thing's grip was stronger.
"The food is there, goddamn it! You can have it!" He yelled back, stumbling to his feet as soon as the thing got off him and lunged at the pot, eating directly from it. "Hey, give back my spoon!" He glared at the creature. Frisk almost face palmed.
"Undyne?" Sans shook his head. "That is no way to ask for food."
"Undyne?!" Mitsu examined the creature carefully. It was indeed the fish lady. He just couldn't believe it.
His quest was completely ruined. Because wherever Undyne is...
"Worry not, Mistu! I, Great Warrior Papyrus, will offer all the help I can, to help you finish your quest!" Mitsu sighed heavily as Papyrus appeared in the scene. He was posing heroically.
"Papyrus!" Frisk smiled.
"Ah, Frisk is also here, I see." Papyrus 'grinned'. "Mistu, your quest is about to get easier than you can ever imagine!"
"...It's Mitsu...Not Mistu..." Sans said, patting Mitsu's head. "Don't make him angry, he bites." Mitsu growled and moved away from him.
"Don't treat me like a pet, skeleton!" he hissed. Papyrus sweat-dropped.
"I guess he is really angry." he pointed out. Undyne, who was done eating ALL of the food left in the pot, stood beside Papyrus and Frisk.
"Geez, that was a tiring journey. Alphys and Mettaton should be here now."
"Them as well!?"
"Yes. We found your diary. We couldn't let you go on this quest alone." Alphys said as she and Mettaton walked in. Mettaton was strangely silent. "We had to help you."
"...Who are these people...?" Tristan, who wrapped himself up in a blanket he had brought, asked as he stared at the group.
"These are my friends!" Frisk replied, pointing to each one and naming them. "They are here to help us."
"Oh, so...Fish lady won't eat me?"
"No, I won't allow her." Frisk said reassuringly. Tristan sighed in relief.
"Thank you." Then he looked at Mettaton. "Hey, what's wrong with him?"
"Oh," Alphys glanced at Mettaton briefly. "We've been walking around for so long. Three days, I think." she said. "We should have reached you in two hours, according to my calculations, but we kept falling asleep all the way." Now, Frisk, Mistu and Sans turned to Tristan, who was blinking confoundedly.
"My god, you must be really hungry!" He shot up after a minute of silence. "That's why Fish Lady wanted food. Give me a couple of minutes, I'll make some now." And he did start preparing food for them. Mitsu stared at him in disbelief.
Tristan...was right.
Everyone was in deep sleep. Everyone but Mitsu. Mistu couldn't stop thinking of what Tristan said. Three days... But how? They were only walking for five hours... Right?
There was something he didn't know. His eyes kept travelling to the passage where Alphys and the other came from. He had this feeling inside him. He wanted to go and see what could have kept them there for three days. Part of him was against it.
But since when does anyone listen to the 'don't do it' side?
He got up slowly and carefully, as not to wake anybody up. He made his way to the passage. Taking a deep breath, he walked in. He walked for quite a while. he had no torch with him; he was not planning to walk in for long.
But, there was this very familiar voice, faintly singing. He felt compelled to follow it. The deeper he walked into the cave, the clearer became the voice. It was his brother's voice from 11 years ago. It was a song he used to sing along with his brother before going to sleep. His eyelids felt heavier as he stood in his place, listening to the song. He didn't know why, but he couldn't move. All he wanted to do is listen to the song.
Before he knew it, he was falling asleep. Before he fell asleep, he felt two arms wrapping around him. The voice was next to his ears. It stopped singing, and whispered: "...I'm closer than you think...Mi-chan... but you'll never find me..." then laughter fell the room. Mitsu felt he was falling down. It was like he was not going to stop falling. his mind kept screaming.
Wake up...
Wake up...
"Mitsu, wake up..."
Finally, all done! Please tell me if something is wrong, or if i can make this a little better. I will probably miss a lot of stuff, so if you fell like something is wrong, point it out so I can avoid it. Thank you!
?: Finally, we are done!
Hey, you didn't mimic me.
?: Aw, do you miss it, now? Hee hee.
*waves* bye, folks!
?: [mimicking] Bye, Folks! *glances at author* What? I can't wave!
