Alright are we all on the same page? Good lol

Elevators on this place move around on the same level as Willy Won't. I feel myself being pulled up, down, sideways, and backwards. It's crazy and genius. The elevator opens and I'm met with a gentle breeze and what sounds like subdued city noises. I step out of the elevator and round the corner.

Wow.. I didn't know the Underground was this big. The gigantic cavern is lit by a glowing ceiling, showing me exactly what lies below: buildings and skyscrapers as far as the eye can see. It looks like a human city. I've never seen Hong Kong, but maybe this is what it looks like. The tallest buildings barely touch the ceiling of the cavern and I can see that some buildings are being built higher to accommodate for overpopulation.

These people need to get out of here.

"Hey, Frisk." Flowey says, almost making me jump out of my skin. I put my hand on my chest, trying to slow my heart rate.

"Sorry.." he says when I give him a half-hearted glare.

I pull out my phone as I knew down and type a message onto the screen. How have you been?

"Good, I guess." He says slowly. He looks really depressed. "I hear you're going to free us..."

I nod. I can't leave you guys down here.

"I saw your fight with Mettaton." He says. "You did pretty good."

I smile a little. Thanks buddy.

"I also saw how you got through the core. It was brilliant." He says, smiling a little. "I never thought about getting through that way. When I was little, I would always have Alphys run the puzzle for me so I could solve it. I was never any good at it."

I smile. How old are you anyways? I ask.

He freezes up at this question, getting a little pale. "I... I don't know.." he says and he gets this really guilty look on his face. "I don't know how to answer that.."

I brush the petals out of his face. "Hey, it's ok. I'm not here to judge you." I whisper.

He looks up at me in amazement and leans into my hand a little.

I scoop my hand into the dirt and uproot him gently. "If you don't want to talk about it, it's ok. We don't have to." I whisper.

"How can you can talk..?" He asks softly. "I never asked last time... You told me when we met that you couldn't.."

I nod. Papyrus healed my neck some. I say, touching my scarf and looking away.

"So you guys are really a thing now aren't you?" He asks, eyebrows furrowed.

I nod again. He tells me that my soul resonates with his. I say, looking at him. He's wide eyed. Then after a few minutes, his eyebrows furrowed as he mulls it over.

"You haven't mated with him yet have you?" He asks.

Only with our bodies. I say, a heat rising to my face as I look away again. I glance at him and he's blushing too. I told him that I don't outright reject him. I told him we should try an actual relationship before we went from barely friends to basically married.

"So you're not going to for a while are you?" He asks.

I nod.

"I really don't know why you're sharing this with me.." he says "We barely know each other and you're spilling your secrets.."

I shrug. You're the first real friend I've had in a long time. I feel like I can talk to you.

"Don't you have any human friends?" He asks.

Well, I was starting to make friends before I fell. I never really had anyone I could call friend. I say. We were on a hike. We had just stopped for lunch.

"Oh.." he says.

I sigh and tell him about my childhood in the most summerized way possible. And then I tell him about my unit while I was in the service. And then about the reason I couldn't talk. We sit there for a long while as I tell him my story. He listens without a single word of judgement. I tell him about my life on the surface: my job, my house, the huge community of people who can only speak with their hands.

"Wow.. the surface sounds so cool..." He says.

I nod, not saying anything for a while. I stand up and sit on the ledge, looking out at the Capital. I set Flowey on my shoulder. Jeez, I am soooo procrastinating. "You got a family, Flowey?" I whisper.

"Used to." He says softly.

What happened? I ask, not looking at him.

"I... I died." He says softly.

I look at him. "But you're right here... Alive..."

"I don't have a soul anymore.." he says, a big tear running down his face. "All I feel is pain.. and echos of the emotions I used to feel. I can't ever see my family, because they'd kill me on the spot. Even if I explained what happened to me, they would still kill me."

So you're the one from Alphys's tapes.

His petals start to lose their coloring. "You know about me?" He asks, fear thick in his voice.

Only that she brought you back from the dead. The tape didn't specify who you were. Just that you came back mostly the same person you were when you died. I say.

"W-well.. I.." he says softly, looking down. "I used to be called Asriel Dreemurr. My parents are Toriel and Asgore."

I blink in surprise. "Were you fluffy?" I ask.

He looks at me and snorts at my hopeful expression. He's trying really hard not to laugh.

I smile. Mission accomplished. You don't have to tell me any more if you don't want too.

"N-no. It's time somebody knew." He says. "Well, it's time someone told you. It's all over those plaques in Waterfall."

I raise an eyebrow.

"I died because I was taking my adopted sibling to his village...to his favorite patch of flowers." He says. "The humans attacked me out of fear. I took my brother back home with me and I fell to dust right there in the throne room. I woke up again who knows how many years later as a flower. A shadow of my former self. I wouldn't wish this fate upon my worst enemy."

I pet his petals gently. How did you get across the barrier? I ask.

"My brother was human. I absorbed his soul and crossed it. A monster can absorb human souls and gain more power." He says.

Then what's this trip about needing seven souls?

"Seven humans built the barrier, seven will break it." He says. "And we can't wait for thousands of humans to fall to fee everyone."

I see. Thanks for telling me.

He smiles a little and hops off my shoulder. "You should get going. He's waiting." He says. "Up ahead is a house. It looks exactly like the one in the ruins. Can't miss it. I'm sure you can find your way from there."

I nod and smile. I wave goodbye and go on my merry way. One more obstacle.

Review please! I needs input por favor!
