A/N: Hey everybody, it's been a long while. To make an extra long story short, I lost my job and have been doing everything I can to fix it, along with family stuff and pretty much being all mopey about it. Anyways, i'm still job hunting but I haven't forgotten about everyone here waiting for the next chapter!
Alright well, Before we jump in I need to address some things I remembered being told about.
First in the whole shipping Sans and Toriel. I had said I was shipping them at the beginning of this story, and there are people out there who don't like that. Also I am aware (now) that even Toby Fox said that he would think Toriel and Asgore would get back together. I am not having that happen, mostly because of 3 reasons, 1) it's too far in now and I don't plan to retcon my entire story. 2) As I had said before I like the more realism of their pairing. Lets face it, the real world isn't a fairy tale, not everything is going to be a perfectly happily ever after with a complete family. This portrays some of that realism I feel. 3) I like the shipping, even if it's never to be. Besides this story is about Frisk and Chara, so what happens to outside characters as important as they may be, shouldn't be something to nitpick at. *ahem*
Secondly I am also aware of the big theory about how Chara wasn't evil, the player being the true villain, and Chara being just easily influenced. BUT, once again that background doesn't have a significant impact on the story. Though the "Evil Chara" idea line is used in the background of this story, it only comes up within the first couple chapters and hasn't been brought up again. If for ANY reason it ever is used for a future chapter. I'll make sure to put another disclaimer about this matter on that chapter, and after posting it ill post a video of me dunking my head in ice water or snow or something. lol
Anyways, I hope that is everything and if not I'll answer more questions and more on my story as they are asked or reminded to me in future chapters.
Quick warning, this chapter very slightly starts dipping into the more dirty stuff, very slightly, but all the same this is a quick warning. Fear not, the juicy stuff IS in the future. But...well..you'll see! I haven't been writing for a few weeks so I'm a bit rusty. Remember to like and follow if you haven't, send me your reviews! I love hearing opinions and talking to people about my work! And all of you enjoy Chapter 18 of Slice of Undertale!
Chapter 18 – Hot Winter Night
It's a cold winter morning, weather reports tell of incoming snow. Frisk and Chara are visiting Alphys' lab. Frisk and Undyne are chatting off in a corner while Chara is getting checked over by Alphys and Sans who happens to be wearing a lab coat. "Well…your body seems to be getting along normally." The small lizard scientist spoke happily.
Chara grumbled, "Then why am I the only one who can't seem to learn magic?"
Alphys sweat dropped "W…well, it might be due t-to how your soul w…was trapped before." Alphys had been working on her stutter, but it still appeared when she was nervous or intimidated.
Sans smirked, "Hey, no sweat. Maybe you're just not trying the right stuff."
At this point Frisk and Undyne walked over, "Cheer up Chara, I can't use magic either." Tried to make her feel better.
Sans rummaged through his lab coat pulling out a bottle of Ketchup and starting to drink from it. "Well Frisk, you know that's not completely true. Your magic is special and just…can't be shown off, or used right now." Alphys and Undyne gave Sans confused looks, for which Sans responded with a shrug. "I'll explain another time…" As of the moment only Sans, Frisk, Chara, and Asriel knew about Frisks reset power. They had long since decided it was best not to tell the others about it. Even now Sans would likely be dodging Alphys' questions for a while.
Chara sighed, "Well I never needed magic before anyways. It would have been cool thought." She hopped off the examination table.
Frisk shrugged, Undyne smiled big "You just gotta get SUPER TOUGH! Then you'd never need magic at all!"
Chara smirked and giggled, "I am tough!"
Sans laughed "Good, then you can deal with this "tough" luck." He winked. "Anyways, I gotta head out, me and Tori got a date." With that the small skeleton took off his coat and set it aside before walking off and disappearing all together.
Frisk shook his head with a chuckle. Chara shivered "Still not sure how comfortable I am with that…"
Frisk nudged her with his elbow "Why? Don't you want Sans to become our… "Dunkle!?" Frisk laughed while Chara, Alphys, and Undyne all facepalmed.
"Well at this point he can't become any more of a bad influence." Alphys gave a slight smirk.
Chara puffed her cheeks "Can we just go now?"
Frisk nodded turning to the other two "It was great seeing you both again."
Alphys nodded and shook Frisks hand, "Of course, anytime."
Undyne picked up Frisk and Chara together into a crushing bear hug. "Don't be a stranger now, Punks!"
Chara smiled "Right, especially if I wanna learn to get tougher!"
After exchanging good byes and bundling themselves up Frisk and Chara left the lab starting on their way home. The snow was starting to come down heavily "Don't worry Chara, I believe you can learn magic. You just need a little more time." Frisk took her hand as they stepped out onto the streets.
"I know…I had known magic before. It's just this body I have, right?" Frisk nodded.
As the pair got home they stepped in, the snow had quickly shipped into a blizzard. "Brrrr…Glad we made it when we did." Chara shivered pulling off her boots and coat.
"Yeah" Frisk doing the same. "Seems we may get Snowdin."
"Don't even joke!" Chara whined.
Frisk went and checked around, "Guess mom is still on her date, and Asriel is still out at his friend Jimmy's house. Don't think he'll make it home unless Sans picks him up." He took a seat on the couch stretching out a bit.
"Oh, so we're alone then." Chara smirked.
"Seems like iiit! oof!" Chara had suddenly pounced Frisk and snuggled up against him.
"Friiiisk, I'm cold! Warm me up!" She teased.
Frisk smiled and wrapped his arms around her, "You're encourageable. You know that?"
Chara giggled shifting herself and sliding her hands up under Frisk's shirt. "Aww, but your nice and warm!"
Frisk blushed slightly leaning up and giving her a gentle peck on the lips. "Fine then, I'll warm you up a bit." He smiled letting his hands slide lower.
Chara giggled "Hey now, didn't think you'd be one to get all Frisky!" she winked.
"Well, I did flirt my way through the underground at one point." He replied and wiggled his eyebrows.
Chara rolled her eyes "I know, I was backseat for that one." She shook her head. "Oh well, now your all mine!" before Frisk could respond she pulled him into a passionate kiss.
Outside the storm raged on, and elsewhere at a restaurant Sans and Toriel were waiting for their dinners. "Well its looking pretty bad out." Toriel said with a worried tone.
"Looks like a usual Snowdin night." Sans chuckled across from her. "You could text the kids if your that worried though."
Toriel nodded pulling out her cell phone, flipping it open she frowned, "It seems this the storm has left me without any reception…"
Sans put his hands up slightly, "Hey now, I'll just pop in and check on all of them. I'd think Asriel is still at his friend's house right?" the short skeleton asked standing. Toriel nodded, "Oh Sans, you needn't trouble yourself like that."
Sans shook his head "Nonsense, besides you know until you're sure they're OK you'll worry all night. Don't worry I'm going tibia right back." He winked. Toriel chuckled as he turned and walked off disappearing. Within a few minutes wait he would return. "Asriel is fine, he is planning to stay overnight at his friends through the storm." Toriel seemed relieved at this, "Now for Frisk and Chara. Hopefully they made it home before the storm started." Sans chuckled and turned walking off and disappearing again. Minutes later he would reappear again with a dark blue blush. "No yep, they made it home, they're all right without us."
Toriel looked confused, "Whatever do you mean Sans?"
Sans coughed "Let's just say they won't be cold tonight." Sitting back in his chair he chuckled. This simply confused Toriel more though.
Back at the house Frisk and Chara were both frozen, on the couch, shirts off, Chara straddling Frisk, both staring at the spot near the door where the shorter skeleton brother had just been standing.
"Tell me that wasn't Sans…" Frisk mumbled.
Chara gave a nervous chuckle "…wish I could…doubt he'll be back, or when he does it won't be alone."
Frisk fell backwards with a sigh "If he says anything to mom things are going to get really weird I know it."
Chara shrugged "Not much we can do about it now." She looked down at Frisk, her devious smile returning as she drank in his body. Frisk chuckled looking back doing the same. Chara moved back pressing her body against his. "Well if we're going to be in trouble anyways. Might as well enjoy ourselves while we can." She teased with a wink. Frisk looked up into her red eyes, he knew they shouldn't, but with Chara like this he couldn't say no.
Leaning up Frisk pressed his lips to hers letting his hands wander Chara's body. "I suppose so then." He smirked. Just then, the pair felt a slight draft, odd with the house closed up making both teens look around again. On the table was a piece of paper with some writing on it.
" Hey you two, don't get too "Frisky", of later you'll have a bad time.
-Sans
P.S. That means no "bone"ing. "
Both teens turned bright red, they could definitely feel their sins crawling on their backs. Quickly separating the pair grabbed their shirts. "Uh, I'm getting hungry, are you hungry? I think I'll go start dinner for us!" Frisk said before beating a hasty retreat to the kitchen.
"Good idea, I..uh..need to freshen up!" Chara ran upstairs quickly.
At the restaurant Sans came back and sat down just as their meal was served. "What exactly was that all about?" Toriel asked eyeing Sans.
"Don't worry Tori, I just left them a little note and some skel-adult advice." Both of them chuckled.
At home Chara walked downstairs feeling a little relieved after a cold shower and finding no Sans and Toriel waiting for her. From the kitchen the smell of food wafted out making her stomach growl. As she made her way into the kitchen Frisk was just finishing setting the table, having taken the time to set it romantically.
"Heya, hungry after all?" he asked with a cheerful grin while pulling out a chair for her.
Chara sat down "You didn't have to go all out like this."
Frisk blushed a little taking his place at the table. "I wanted to though, it was fun."
The storm raged on outside while the two enjoyed a warm romantic night together, filling them both with… DETERMINATION!
