...Herman's POV...

It's been 3 months since Wingding got sucked into the Void and I've been trying to move on but I can't. I feel like he's still out there, trapped within the walls of the vortex.

Everyone says that he's dead and I should just continue with life but I refuse to, he'd do the same for me if I had gotten sucked into the Void. I just pray that someday I'll get to see him again but until then I'll just have to be happy, for Wingding's sake.

[Sighs audibly] I miss you Gaster, I truly do. So please be safe!

...Normal POV...

{It was a beautiful Summers afternoon and Herman was sat at the edge of the River Of Two Paths. She placed her hand into the cool waters and playfully yet gracefully made the water ripple, sometimes this helped her to take her mind off of past troubles.}

H: [Sighs and smiles] It's nice to be out here alone, the peace really helps to calm my mind.

{At that exact moment Gaster finally arrived, he saw Herman sat there and smiled. He knew she'd be here, it was one of her favorite places to go after all.

He then took a step forward but stalled for a moment, was this really the best thing to do? Herman seemed to be content sat there on her own, was it wise to go over there after being gone for so long?}

W.D.G: [Thinks] Come on Wingding get it together! If I don't act now, I'll never have the guts to do it again. So stop being an idiot and go over there!

{With a sigh, Gaster slowly made his way over to Herman but once again stalled when he was a few steps away. How would she react? Would she scream? Would she even remember his name?}

W.D.G: [Thinks] You're a chicken Gaster, a CHICKEN! She's right there for God's sake! Just tap her shoulder and say hello!

{So once more Gaster made his way over to Herman but this time he managed to keep his nerve and sit down beside her, thank God she was too busy day dreaming to notice him there!}

W.D.G: [Gulps and thinks] Here goes nothing. [Quietly sighs before tapping her shoulder] Herman?

H: Hmm?

{Herman looked over to see whom had tapped her only to see the smiling face of Gaster look right back at her. The first thing she did was rub her eye sockets, was this a hallucination?

When he only blinked at her in reply did she realise that he was actually sitting right there.}

H: [Suddenly tears up] Wingding? Is it really you?

W.D.G: [Blinks in surprise before nodding happily] Yes Herman, it's me.

{By pure instinct Gaster had started using hand gestures to further translate what he was saying, this couldn't be anymore amazing!}

H: [Gently cups his right cheekbone] Look at you, you've been hurt you poor thing. But how are you alive? I didn't think one could survive being taken into the Void.

W.D.G: [Smiles] It's a long story but I can tell you that it is possible to survive, it's just a very slim chance that you do.

H: [Eyes furrow] Are you okay? You sound funny.

W.D.G: [Sighs sadly] I didn't think you could understand me, I was a fool to think that it was possible!

H: [Gasps] Hold up a moment! Wingding, are you speaking in Hands right now?

W.D.G: [Gapes at her but nods] By God, she figured it out!

H: [Longer gasp] You! You're The Man Who Speaks In Hands, it makes so much sense now!

W.D.G: [Laughs happily] Thank goodness she figured that out, otherwise I would have been worried.

H: Wingding! I've missed you so much!

{Herman then tackles Gaster to the ground, surprising him at first but then he chuckled as Herman continued to hug him. It was good to be able to be back home, he's missed this place quite a lot now that he thought about it.}

W.D.G: I missed you too Herman. [Smiles and gently wraps his arms around her back]

H: [Giggles] Hey Gaster, we never did finish what we started 3 months ago.

W.D.G: [Cocks head] What do you mean?

H: I'm sure you remember, it happened right before the trip to the Void.

W.D.G: [Blinks then blushes when he remembers] Ohhhh, well I thought you said that wasn't intentional.

H: [Sees him blushing] Ah, so you do remember. [Smiles gently] Want to continue where we left off?

W.D.G: [Blushes furiously] W-What!? Are you sure that this is wise?

H: [Leans down slightly] I've missed you...

{Before could attempt to say anything, Herman grabbed his jacket and hauled him into a passionate kiss. Gaster went a bright red as he stared at the face before him, this was really happening and all he could do was awkwardly stare at her in shock!}

W.D.G: [Thinks] Oh sweet Mercy, I can't believe she's kissing me! This sensation; it's so odd, the first one was only brief but this one I can actually comprehend what I'm feeling. It's... Warm. Pleasantly warm.

{After a few minutes Gaster finally relaxed and melted into the kiss, wrapping his arms around her back before kissing her back. However it only lasted a few more seconds before Herman pulled away blushing.}

H: [Frowns slightly] I'm sorry Wingding, that was probably weird. It's just... I'm excited to have you back, I... [Sighs] I'm mmph!?

{Gaster had pulled her back into the kiss before she could finish her sentence, leaving her surprised and slightly embarrassed.}

W.D.G: [Smiles at her] I understand, so please don't apologize. After all, I've missed you too.

H: [Smiles back] So you're probably curious to learn what you've missed huh?

W.D.G: [Nods] I am now that you brought it up.

(The pair both sit up, off of the ground in which they were laying on previously.)

H: Okay, so this is what you missed...

...One Extra Lengthy Explanation Later...

H: So that's basically the long and short of it.

W.D.G: Wow... That was quite a lot of things to happen in 3 months!

H: Hehe, from that look I'm guessing that you're surprised by the amount of things we got done.

W.D.G: [Smiles and nods] It's only a shame that you can't understand me.

H: Knew it! [Giggles] To be honest I would have rather done it all by your side.

W.D.G: Aww, that's sweet. [Smiles and sighs] I know you can't understand me but I might as well say it... I love you.

H: [Stalls and looks at Gaster in awe] Wingding, you... You love me?

W.D.G: [Gapes in shock] You understood that?

H: Of course I - wait a second... I understood you!

W.D.G: [Still in shock] Yes, I saw. Does this mean you can understand me?

H: I... Think so. Only pieces are translating but I can understand you nevertheless.

W.D.G: Herman! This is great news! Now I don't have to worry about the fact I'm speaking in Hands.

H: I suppose but Wingding, if you're The Man Who Speaks In Hands then doesn't that mean you have to find a willing Monster to bare your son?

W.D.G: It does yes but I think that I have an idea who to ask first. [Smiles]

H: [Frowns] You do? Is she nice?

W.D.G: She is and besides I believe you know her too.

H: I do? Hmmm, well I don't have many female Monster friends so it could be one of them...

W.D.G: No Herman, I know that this is kind of sudden so you don't have to decide now. But the Monster that I want to bare my son is... [Blushes] You.
