From a Mother's Day Chapter to a Father's Day chapter! Both of them slightly late but still placed quite a bit of effort into! A few surprises here and there, a bit of fluff in certain places that definitely tickle the heart, the usual. Asgore really needed this day, does anyone else agree?

Asgore: It's a day for Father's isn't it? Slightly late, but well appreciated nonetheless. Let's enjoy the experience together!~

Father's Day Celebrate!

"Wakey Wakey, Fluffybuns~" Toriel cooed gleefully as she gently shook Asgore awake. The grand fluffy slowly blinked his eyes open to see his wife hovering her head over his own. Asgore smiled softly towards her, then yawned loudly, showing off his numerous fangs to the giggling Toriel. "Yes yes, honey. I'm well aware that we both have fangs~"

"That's very humorous of you, Tori." Argore chuckled as he slowly sits up and rubs the back of his neck slightly. He was slightly confused by the look of even greater cheer on Toriel's face. He blinked owlishly. "Uh...is there something that's brought you greater cheer than usual, Tori?"

She blinked slightly and tilted her head in slight suspicion. "Wait...you don't know what day it is...?" Asgore began sweating, desperately praying that he didhn't forget something very significant. Toriel gently facepalmed and ran said paw down her face. "Only you could somehow forget that today is Father's Day."

Asgore blinked in surprise. "F...Father's Day...?"

"Yes, it's Father's Day you fluffy dummy!" Toriel poued while slapping him gently in the shoulder. "Come downstairs, I've already made breakfast for you with the children's help. Cinnamon Sugar Muffins and Golden Flwoer Tea. All for you~" She smiled as she grabbed him by the paw and pulled him from the bed. "Come now. You're going to be gawking all day if I don't get you moving. So come! Up and up!"

"A-Alright! I'm coming!" Asgore stuttered as he was lead down the stiars by an amused Toriel down to the kitchen. And as she advertised, warm cinnamon sugar muffins and a cup of Golden Flower Tea. Asgore smiled widely at the setup. "it all looks amazing, Tori...and you say that the boys helped you make these?"

"Indeed they did! Now go on, eat your muffins quickly while they're warm, and your tea is good. The boys are waiting to spend some time with you, as well as a couple others. Don't ask questions, just go on and eat your muffins and drink your tea!~" Toriel emphasized as he seated him in the chair. She then tapped her lips a few times and smiled, sitting next to him with the chair next to him. "On second thought, you don't have to waste your time. I'll give you a helping paw~" Toriel smiled as she takes one of the muffins and offers it to Asgore.

Asgore blushed. "You're...you're going to feed it to me...?"

"Oh don't be embarrassed. Is it really so strange for a wife to feed her husband in such a manner? Hm?~"

"N-No...I suppose not..."

Conceding to Toriel's offer, Asgore allowed her to gently feed him every muffin, one at a time. Toriel took great pleasure in seeing how embarrassed he was getting over it, giggling at his red blushing face every so often. She didn't really rush him, no. It was the intimate look in her eyes with a bit of fluttering, matched with her relaxed pacing, that made him increasingly nervous. She was taking her time, even though before she had said that he needed to be in a hurry. Asgore sometimes wondered if Toriel really enjoyed seeing him blush...and sometimes he just knew she enjoyed seeing him blush. This case belonged to the latter.

After she was finished feeding him all of the muffins, she proceeded to lift the cup of tea towards him and have him take multiple sips of it until it was all gone. She sets the glass down and took a look at his face. She tapped her chin a couple times and tiled her head. "Hm...you'll have to clean yourself up a bit, as well as clear the crumbs from your beard. But first, I'll take care of your cheeks."

"What does that me-eeeaaannn?!" Asgore meeped as Toriel leans in and licked the crumbs from both of his cheeks, then briefly kisses his lips. The action made his blush even worse than before, now he entire head blushed red with pure embarrassment. She pulled back and licked her lips slightly, smiling sweetly.

"The children will be waiting outside, dear. Do get dressed and ready for them, will you?~" She beamed brightly while gently nuzzling his nose slightly, before pulling her sleeves back, taking the dishes to the sink and begins watching them. Asgore as still very much embarrassed by her actions, despite the genuine love behind them. He was still frozen with how dumbfounded he was, until Toriel giggled outwardly. "Apparently you're not dumbfounded enough to stare at me from behind. Do shake yourself out of it, dear. Spend time with your children first, because right now they want it more. Don't fret though. I promise to spend more time with you later...tonight~" That didn't help his blushing at all, and neither did her slight tail wag.

Yeah. She definitely enjoyed teasing him, and she's slowly getting more imaginative about it. He hoped that she wasn't taking tips from Muffet...wait...why does Muffet know how to tease like that anyway?!

...Chara, I wish you strength...

The Dreemurr Trio were finally greeted by Asgore stepping out of the house, donning his legendary pink sweater 'Mr. Dad Guy'. Asriel and Chara were overjoyed to see it on him again, while Frisk was slightly suspicious of the blush on Asgore's cheeks. Though he set it aside for the moment as he had other, more primary concerns to tend to at the moment. That moment was very important to the brothers and to Asgore, and would proceed through the rest of the day.

"Happy Father's Day!~"

"It's Daddy's Day!"

"It's your day. Be happy."

Frisk, Aseiel, and Chara said one after another. Asgore loved every single one of them. "Thank you, my children! What shall we do today?"

"Well, we have a couple ideas, but we're gonna go with the more chill things since we know that you're a pretty laid-back guy. And there's one place where we can be pretty laid-back for a few spells." Chara said with folded arms. "We're gonna head to Grillby's. I know it seems to bit lax...but that's what we're looking for, aren't we? A chance for Mr. Dad Guy to kick back and relax. Because we all know that you really, really deserve it after all of the crap that you've been through...though a majority of that was my fault..."

"Relax, my son. We both have things to make up for. But for today, we enjoy our time together." Asgore smiled as he placed his paw on Chara's head. "Now as you said...let us go to Grillby's as you all have declared that we would do~"

With this in mind, the Dreemurr Trio held onto Asgore, and they teleported away from the area.

(Grillby's)

The multi-colored flash outside ended, which briefly confused a few monsters, though they dismissed it once they realized that it was simply the Dreemurr Trio, and with Asgore in tow. As usual, Grillby's was casually packed, with the Canine Unit obviously taking up space there for a little bit. Doggo was smoking dog treats and attempting to play cards with Lesser Dog. It was slightly troubling, since he needed to constantly move the cards around so that he could actually see them. He swears his Riddoch Syndrome was a really aggravating pain that he would love to live without, but unfortunately didn't have that option. His fellow canines were there to support him though, so he wasn't too grumpy about it. Just grumpy enough.

Grillby was seen cleaning glasses from behind his counter, and other monsters were sitting on the stools casually chatting away with one another...monsters such as Muffet. She spun around on her stool for a moment, only to catch a glimpse of Chara. She beamed brightly and waved her middle arm towards him.

"Oh my! It's Chara-Dearie! Hello hello hello!~"

"Oh no..." Chara groaned as he gently facepalmed. "Muffet...just...how the heck did you get here? I though your spiders couldn't handle the co-"

"Heated limo."

DAMMIT! "Oh, right...forgot that was one of the things you said you would buy...I don't know why I keep forgetting that..." He sighed as he and his brothers, with his father lumbering behind him, approached the counter and placed themselves in different seats. Only for Grillby to quietly and gently remind Asgore that those seats weren't strong enough to support his weight. Pouting softly at this realization, he takes a seat in one of the booths, lamenting that he doesn't get to sit closer to his sons. Asriel noticed this, and placed himself in his lap with much glee on his face. Asgore returned the look of glee, and they softly embraced one another. With them properly situated, Chara and Muffet continued their chat. "Well, nevermind how you got here. Why are you here?"

"I was discussing possible future business plans with Grillby here! We're business rivals, but we're rather casual about it. We might want to outdo the other person, but we also want to make sure that they're not doing terribly. Not one of those nasty spats where one business tries to sabotoge the other. Nope! I'm a fair contender!~" She snickers as stars replaced all five of her eyes. "And the better contender will gain much more money...ahuhuhuhu~" Muffet cleared her through and rested her chin in her palm. "Still, despite our friendly rivalry, I do see him as a father figure of sorts. SO I decided to spend a bit of time with him. Have a fun chat, something along those lines."

"Huh...I guess I can see that." Chara blinked. "Me and my brothers are here with my father, trying to relax. Because i think you already know how much he needs it."

"Mhm. I sure do. King Fluffybuns could use a day off dedicated to Daddy's~" Muffet giggled.

Chara sighed, though he did nod in agreement. Then he took an extended look at Muffet...and tried to hide the fact that his already pink cheeks were getting pinker. It was slowly becoming noticeable, but Muffet was definitely growing up a little. Chara couldn't deny that, given the two growing bumps growing under her blouse. That, and her pantaloons, which made her hips seem wider, were discarded. And yet at this point of her age-which was different from how normal spiders age-it would soon become apparent that she wouldn't need her outgrown pantaloons to make her hips seem wide.

Muffet blinked slightly, noticing that Chara was looking away from her. "Chara-Dearie, is something the matter...?"

"...Nothing's wrong, I'm fine." He said quickly, briefly throwing her off. Though Muffet being Muffet, she shrugged it off and continued chatting with Grillby.

Doggo, despite his Riddoch Syndrome, could see that Chara was giving an extended gaze towards Muffet's legs, especially her growing hips. He scoffed and chewed slightly on his dog biscuit. Looks like he's unconsciously decided on his favorite physical part of her.

Meanwhile, Asriel and Frisk were spending quite a bit of time with Asgore, being closest to him at the moment by sitting in the same booth as him. Asgore smiled as he had each boy on one lap, since he took up a majority of the booth. Asriel smiled as he gazed upwards towards Asgore. "Say...Dad...no matter what you've went through during your loneliness...a lot of monsters still saw you as some sort of father figure, right? Because you did your best to lead them, and all?"

"Well...I suppose that would be the case...but I don't really wish for a majority of the Underground to be sending Father's Day presents and cards...that would be far too much mail for me to send out..." Asgore smiled sheepishly. "Not that I'm so vain to believe that every single monster in the Underground admires me in that manner! Just that...still, that would be a lot of mail to sort through. i wouldn't want Tori to get aggravated by the overflow of mail and decides to just incinerate all of it. That would be rather troublesome to clean up, all of that ash."

"Urahaha! I guess that would be a bit of a stretch to clean up!" Asriel said nervously. "Though I also guess that it wouldn't be so bad to receive a few letters and something along those lines...would something like that be acceptable, Dad?"

"Hm...yes. I guess I can accept a few Father's Day cards. Did you ever prepare any Father's Day cards, boys?"

"Sure we did! But we can't really give them to you right know. At a later, more appropriate time, maybe." Frisk said as he shifted around to make himself more comfortable.

Asriel nodded softly to Frisk, while gazing to Asgore again. ":Say Dad...if you were to get a card from someone like...how you say...Undyne? Would you feel really happy if you got a card from her? Would that really make you happy?"

"Hm...?" Asgore tapped his chin a few times, thinking it over. "Father's Day gift from Undyne...I suppose that would be really nice of her. Of course I would appreciate a nice gesture such as that."

"Ah. i see. That's good to know." Asriel smiled softly and nodded. Grillby soon came around with their food, placing it down on the table before them. "Oh, thanks Grillby!"

He nodded softly to him, as well as Asgore. He then turned around and walked to the back, where his 'Fire Exit' was placed. As soon as he went through it, he heard his pone ring. He takes it out and see who was calling him.

The image was of a green flame girl in a somewhat school-like uniform. She was posing quite cheerfully in the image, and she was standing right next to Grillby. The contact name said "Fuku". After a moment of thought, he proceeded to answer the phone.

"Hello? You there, Daddy? Hah! Just kidding, I already know you're there, even though you're a pretty quiet guy!" Grillby heard her laugh on the other line, and could also hear her leaning back against a wall. "Yeah, I know this is a rather cruddy way to say Happy Father's Day, over the phone instead of in your arms...I just didn't feel like waiting anymore just to say it! You're always working so hard, Dad, even in a place that's completely surrounded by snow. Of course you're tough enough to handle the cold...and it makes me wish that I was tough as you..." Fuku went quiet for a moment, as Grillby could pretty much hear her frown slightly. Though he could then hear the girl begin to smile again. "But it's fine, though. Maybe I'm not that tough to handle the cold now, but one day I WILL be. I promise you that. But for now, I'm not gonna let you forsake your business for your sake. There's no need to worry. I'm still doing fine as always in Hotlands. We'll meet up later today so we can spend more time together. Hope you're doing alright too." Grillby simply nodded softly, and somehow Fuku understood that despite not seeing him. "Alright, see you soon Daddy! Bye!~"

Grillby nodded as h put his phone away, then rubbed his flaming neck. It was true. Grillby's flames were more than strong enough to withstand the cold of Snowdin. His daughter, however...she wasn't so durable. At some point, he had to help her surpass that limitation, to become a flame that's not so easily put out by the cold. And besides...he hasn't been spending enough time with her. This would be one of the opportunities he simply couldn't pass up. She was pained buy their distance, but not enough to force him to give u his business. Perhaps she was stronger than she believed...she simply isn't strong enough. Not yet, anyway.

"...Fuku..."

(Later, in MTT Resort)

If there was anything Undyne considered herself to be really good at besides hitting people as hard as she possible can, it was her way with words. She should know, because that trait was slowly rubbing off on her student, Asriel. Mix his way of words with his ever-growing wisdom and strength, he was going to be a pretty effective user of Warrior Therapy. And just being an effective speaker in general. At least in some aspects, anyway. Though...if there was one thing she can admit that she definitely wasn't good at, was designing things. Creativity in regards to art was just out of her league, and everyone knows how she hates to admit defeat.

So she ahd a certain few people help her out with this problem.

"WHy didn't you say so earlier, darling? Of course I would help you!~" Mettaton says, being the one that Undyne's come to for help. "I already have my bots working on it! And you need not worry, I made sure that they were to get your every word on it. You provide words of passion, and I'll provide the art to make it sparkle!~"

"Don't overdo it with the glitter. You know what, don't add glitter at all. I can't really trust you to not add too much of it." Undyne rolled her eye with her arms folded. Disregarding that...I really want this card to look great, you know? Asgore deserves a good-looking card for a great Father's Day. I'm sure that Asriel and his brothers are doing a great enough job of that already. But still, i really want to make it sound and look meaningful." She sighed while gently facepalming. "Is it lazy for me to have someone else write and design the card for me, even if they're using the words I've given them? It just feels...I dunno...a bit lazy for me to ask someone to do something for me that should be relatively simple."

"Now now, I know how you like to take down any challenge that comes your way, darling. But there is absolutely nothing wrong with asking for a little bit of help once in a while. Don't worry about it~" Mettaton hummed as he waved to her slightly, before going back to see his mini-bots progress on her card. Undyne sighed as she ran a hand through her hair. He did have a bit of a point. Nothing wrong with having a helping hand, even if it was for a special day such as this one. Though she still wondered if she had tried making her card on her own, would it have the same sentiment. She soon shook it off and decided to drop the issue. She's already made her choice, so she was going to stick with it for now.

Alphys gently took hold of Undyne hands and had her gaze into her eyes. "It's gonna be okay, Undyne. We both know Asgore very well. And there's one thing we can be sure about. Any gesture you make for him out of the kindness of your heart and soul will no doubt be accepted with open arms and a very bright smile. That's the kind of man he is, in some circles. That is while he's not being a big fluffy dummy..." As well as being obliviously hot... She shook her head and smiled again. "A-Anyway...Asgore and I are on very good terms, that much is true. But you're much closer to him than I am because of the things he's done for you, and how much time you've spent with him., This is going to be one of those days that he fully remembers that and become glad that he's met you, and vice versa."

Undyne blinked and tilted her head. "Wow...ya sure about that, Alph? You're really sure about that?""

"Of course I am, dear. You know how much Asgore loves you." Alphys said softly, tenderly rubbing her paws around Undyne's hands. "You're usually more confident than this, but I guess I can understand why. Still, take a deep breath, Undyne. You'll be alright. I promise you that."

Undyne smirked as she hugged Alphys close, kissing her on her forehead, then she kissed her lips. "Heh. Thanks Alph. I needed a bit of a pep talk." She chuckle, smacking the back of her head. "I need a pep talk to give a Father's Day card to Asgore. That's incredibly soft and awkward of me..." She patted Alphys' shoulder, and the scientist soon leaves on her way. Undyne smirked a bit, which caused Alphys to blink and turn towards her in confusion. She shook her head. "I'm cool, Alphys. Nothing else is wrong."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure."

"Okay." Alphys nodded softly as she turned and left again.

Undyne sighed as she again ran a hand through her hair. "Alright. Ya got this, Undyne. But you have to let the boys celebrate and chill with him first."

About an hour later, Asgore and the Dreemurr Trio entered MTT resort without being impeded. And surprisingly for Chara and Muffet, Grillby closed shop early and chose to come with him. Because he had a higher priority to attend to at the moment. That priority was hugging his arm, and glowing a grand green flame. That cheerful green flame was Fuku. She was one of the only people he would close down shop for without a moment's hesitation, though he was also polite enough to tell his customers why he was closing up shop early, and they were petty good reasons, honestly. The only other person would be Sans.

Muffet snickered as she cupped her cheek while watching the flame duo. The two fire elementals are so happy together, aren't they? I always new that there was a nurturing side to that suit wearing flame elemental that resides behind his silence. Everyone is used to silence. It's when he actually speaks that can really make people pay attention. She blinked slowly. And one of my spiders heard him say 'Fuku'. It was obvious to her and everyone that they cared about one another. And whether or not if they're actually related-some people couldn't withhold their curiosity-the only thing they didn't doubt was that they truly had the relationship of father and daughter. They were just very quiet about it, is all.

"Let's get our own table, Daddy. We've got this time to ourselves, which is rather rare. And I intend to enjoy it for all that it's worth!" Fuku chirped happily, with Grillby nodding peacefully. Asriel saw them moving by, a bit surprised, but nonetheless happy for them.

"Hm...let us see where we can sit, children. I doubt any of these chairs are capable of supporting me though...oh how I wish the case was different..." Asgore sighed. "Guess I'm going to have to stand. I'll manage, though."

"It's gonna be alright, Guy. You're in good hands." Chara smirked, folding his arms and smugly chuckling. "Just stick with us. You deserve something that fully suits your-"

"Chara-Dearie! They have a platter of brownies on one of the tables!~" Muffet chirped.

"That table and all it it's contents. i want them. Give them to me." Chara deadpanned.

"That was a rather swift change in attitude!" Frisk said with a laugh. "But seriously, at least give Dad the acknowledgement of staying close to him. Because me and Asriel sure will stay as close to him as we possibly can."

"Of course I'm gonna stay as close to him as I possibly can. I'm just gonna...'confiscate' all of those brownies. don't want them falling into the wrong fingers and eaten by someone who doesn't appreciate the awesomeness of chocolate." Chara pouted. "So, uh...I'm gonna go do that. You can start without me, I'll be right back. And he was off before they could even think about stopping him.

Asgore chuckled. "Ah, leave him be. It's fine, truly." He says as Asriel and Frisk climbed back onto his lap, and he hugged them both. "So, before we go off to eat...is there something else that we can discuss? Or do you have something to say?"

Frisk nodded as he gazed up towards Asgore. There was definitely something he had to say. "First hearing about you from Mom, I thought that you would really be some sort of terrible person that was only interested in taking my soul. I didn't want to believe it for a while, but I feel bad for doing so since she was so serious about it. But...I kept learning along the way, learning the truth about you from other monsters, as well as my friends. Though the first person to really give me a true impression of the kind of person you are is Papyrus. Big Fluffy Pushover doesn't really match the persona of an evil king. It's because you aren't really evil at all. EVil kings don't sit down with their visitors and speak with them about their problems. And someone like that doesn't take the sacrifice of six other humans lightly. No...you felt really bad about that. The orders you gave and the actions you took, both were out of anger, with no regard for future consequences. You were just a grieving rather who just wanted his family back. Even in our very first encounter, you looked like you would rather die than kill me for my soul, yet you couldn't simply allow yourself to die either. It tore you up inside, having that choice constantly lingering over your head. It was torment you couldn't bear all by yourself. But now that time has passed, and you're doing much better for yourself now! You suffered for a very long time...but now it's time for healing. And I say that you've been healing very nicely so far."

Asgore nodded softly. "Indeed. Our very first meeting started out rather civil...but the horrid obligations I forced upon myself from a decision of blind anger has turned that meeting into a battle. That very first time, I have been defeated and spared...but them Flowey ran me through. Is that right?" Frisk nodded in confirmation, while Asriel flinched greatly from the memory. Asgore gently rubbed the fur on his head in response. "I will be honest with you, boys. Had I known that would be coming...in a fit of despair, I might have gladly welcomed it if it meant ending the torment I forced upon myself. Despite all of that...I'm glad that things that turned out this way. I much prefer you as a family member than an enemy. I don't want to be anyone's enemy. Not by my choice."

"I see that. You desire peace just as much as the rest of us." Though if it weren't for us humans, you wouldn't have had to-

"That's right, Dad." Asriel said, pulling himself closer to Asgore. "All I wanted was for all of us to get along, and for us to be happy. I just wanted Chara to be happy alongside us, since he seemed like he had nowhere else to go...he was a young child like me. Children so young can't hate humanity so vehemently, not without reason. I don't know what that reason is still...but I'm not going to force him to tell me what that reason was."

"Nor will I." Asgore nodded.

"I appreciate that thought." Chara said as he came walking over to them, briefly surprising them. "Father. I'm not gonna sugarcoat this, because I've already said it a thousand times. Almost everything bad that's happened down here was my fault. I was completely unable to shed my hatred for humanity. My hatred had caused an uncountable number of people to suffer...I just couldn't bring myself to get it over it. And I took it out on everyone else and refused to believe that I was in the wrong...just like Toriel." Chara shook his head. "Everyone's suffering down here was indirectly my fault, because I just couldn't let it go. I have no justification for my actions. And even if there were, I don't deserve to use them. I had the chance at a happy life within the palm of my hand, and I threw it all away for the sake of one last shot at revenge against the humans that wronged me...I ruined everyone's lives that day. I took advantage of Asriel..."

"That was my own fault, Chara." Asriel said. "I knew that you were a much more cynical person back then, but I was more focused on the fact that I actually had a simpling who understood me for who I was. I was so happy on those days, I didn't want to do or say anything that might chase you away. I went along with nearly everything you said...even the suicide plot. But attacking those humans...I just couldn't bring myself to do that...even if it meant that I was going to die."

"Yeah...I already knew that...and yet I still hated you for not going along with a plan you wanted nothing to do with, but did so to make me happy. That not only was hypocritical of me, but it's outright evil...I was...evil..."

"And I was weak..." Asriel said. "I already knew that the plan would have ended badly for the both of us, but I still went with it anyway because I didn't want to upset you. I could have ended all of that and prevented all of the suffering, but I didn't have the backbone to stand up to you, because I really didn't want you to be upset with me enough to not like me anymore." He softly shook his head. "But I'm not gonna worry about that anymore. This time I'm going to do things properly. If by some chance you were to go astray, me and Frisk would bring you back to your senses...and I won't back down from you if that's happening. If you go astray, I'll stop you because that's what siblings do for one another."

Chara raised an eyebrow. "Hmph. So if I were to go astray, you'd try to stop me?"

"I would. I'm not afraid of you anymore. If I have to apply some tough love to keep you from falling into darkness, then I will." Asriel said strongly.

"I don't doubt that. You've proven you can do that with or without Frisk's help."

"Yeah. But that's not important right now." Both Asriel and Chara looked towards Asgore once again. "Our actions...and inactions...has placed a lot of suffering on all of us. But if there's one peron that suffered the most aside from myself, it would be Dad. You wanted to give up because living just became unbearable. But despite that desire in your heart and soul, turning your back on your people wasn't something you could do either. Despite how painful it was, you endured everything for the sake of your people. And that endurance has begun paying off greatly." Asriel lowered his head slightly, twiddling his thumbs. "Though still...considering that me and Chara are the ones most responsible for your suffering...I can't help but feel utterly guilty about that. We put you through so much pain and suffering and loneliness with the severe long-term effects of our actions...and we-"

"Asriel. Every one of us has done something gravely sinful. That is a fact we cannot change. So the best thing we can do is for us to continue living so that we can atone for those mistakes for the rest of our lives."

"Right...redemption is a path. Not a destination." Asriel recalled Undyne's words to him.

"Quite right. And it's never a path that is to be walked alone. Despite the odds, we must always walk together. The journey is infinitely more rewarding when you have someone to sha. i have been robbed of that luxury for many years...but now I can reclaim it, and make up for the damage I've caused. Having everyone with me is the only necessity I need. Everything else will come as we all strive to achieve the peace that we seek, and the happiness that we must earn." Asgore said while pulling the three boys in for three separate kisses on their heads. "I know of your struggles, children. And you know of mine. And we are going to work through them together. That promise is a rather great Father's Day gift for me." The three children smiled brightly at this, hugging the pink-sweatered king happily.

"Hey, uh, Asgore..." Said King blinked and turned to the owner of the voice. Undyne was rather sheepishly approaching him, her fins drooping slightly and her eye shifting to a few places every few moments. "I just, uh...you know it's Father's Day and all...so I figured that Mettaton and Alphys could give me a writing hand...I mean helping hand, and just...you know, since I'm not really someone with expert artistic talent or anything like that...and I wanted this to look nice. Knowing that I don't have the finesse for something like that, I...I..."

"Undyne...are you alright...?"

"...D'oh, just read the card!" Undyne blurted while placing the card in his paws and turning away with a huff. With a bit of surprise on his face, Asgore took a look at the card. It was a rather large card, and it was delicately written with careful precision and had a Delta Rune symbol on the front and back. With that observation made, Asgore looks inside.

"Asgore Dreemurr:

First hearing about you form Gerson and other people...I had a really strong urge to prove myself by kicking your ass. I wanted to be the tough girl. Figured that if I was that open girl hat beat up the King, then more people would be friends with me. At first, I was ROYALLY pissed off that you weren't really taking me seriously! But then again...I was just a kid. A REALLY stupid kid who didn't know much about you and what you went through, and was still going through.

You responded to my hostility...with an offer to train me on how to be at you. Of COURSE I accepted! Like I said, I wanted to kick your ass!

...but then we actually spent that time together. Whenever I messed something up, you gently corrected me. Whenever I got too tired or injured myself too badly, you'd stop our session yourself and tuck me in, regardless if I was a kid or a growing woman. Whenever I threw a temper tantrum, you tenderly calmed me down with soft words of encouragement. Whenever I felt down in the dumps, you poued me some tea and we would talk about it. All this while you were training me on how to defeat you. I admit that the nicer you were to me...the less I actually wanted to beat you.

Knocking you down that one time was a major accomplishment in of itself and yet it still felt bittersweet. I just...didn't want to hurt you. Not anymore. Especially afterwards when you looked at me with those beaming bright eyes of yours, looking at me as if I was the coolest person in the whole world at that moment...that made me feel a bit worse for knocking you down. But it also felt really nice to get so much praise from someone who genuinely thought I wasn't a waste of their time.

If I hd to put this bluntly...you really straightened me out and turned me into a much better person, even if you didn't realize it at the time. Your genuine and full belief in me has completely changed my way of seeing you. From then on, I wanted to help you. And ya know, the rest is history.

Asgore. Despite having your own problems...you mentored me, you've nurtured me, and you protected me any way you could. I have never been more grateful to you for that. I swear to you, that I'm gonna make all of that time you spent with me worth it.

Happy Father's Day, you big fluffy idiot. Fuhuhuhu!

...Seriously though. Thank you.

Thank you for being the Father that I didn't know could exist...and didn't know that I needed.

Asgore finished reading reading the rather lengthy card, then slowly sets it down with his hair covering his eyes. Undyne looked a bit worried by his lack of initial reaction.

"H-Hey...why aren't you saying anything? Was it that bad?" Undyne asked quietly. Before she could ask again, a white and pink blur appeared before her eye, and she was suddenly hugged by the large pink-sweater wearing father himself. "Asgore...?! What are yo-"

"Undyne...I love you." Asgore said softly, his paw gently petting her hair and the back of her head.

Undyne was briefly surprised by this. Though after getting a of approval from Grillby and Fuku, Gerson, Alphys and Mettaton from afar, and the Dreemurr Trio themselves, she relented and hugged him back, burying her face into his chest. Being much leaner and smaller than he was, she might look feeble in comparison. But she didn't mind. In fact, she felt rather peaceful and safe in his arms. She grinned softly with a little bit of a nuzzle.

"I love you too..."

Asgore smiled softly down to her, and blinked slightly when he felt his sweater dampen just slightly. "Undyne...are you crying...?"

"...N-No!" Undyne denied, slowly pulling back from him and quickly wiping her face. "...Alright, maybe a few droplets of tears managed to escape my eye, but nothing more!"

Asriel smiled slightly. "It's gonna be alright Undyne. After all, warriors can cry too!"

"Oh my! You told him that saying, Undyne?" Asgore blinked in surprise. "Golly, you really must have grown close to Asriel to comfort him such a manner. I'm rather impressed by your closeness by this point." He then gently smiled. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say you're doing a rather splendid job of being an amazing big sister for him. I'm very happy about that."

Undyne gaped in awe as her fins drooped, and a mild blush covered her cheeks. "...Big...Big sister...?"

"Big sister...?" Asriel smiled as he opened his arms wide. "Big Sis Undyne!~"

"Hey, I did NOT agree to be called-!" Undyne ahd no choice in the matter, immediately being hugged by Asriel. "C'mon, punk! Quit joking around!"

Asriel looked up towards her with colorful stars in his eyes and a beaming smile. "My teacher is also a big sister figure! I wondered what having a big sister would be like, and I guess that's the feeling I get when I'm with you!"

Undyne was about to try and retort again. But seeing the amount of admiration and glee in his eyes made her reconsider. She sighed as she hugged him back in return, placing a light noogie on his head. "Big sister...alright alright, I don't see any problem with being referred to as such. After all, only Big Sisters like me can apply the much needed tough love to fluffy pushevers like you!"

"I can take it, Master!"

"THAT'S WHAT I LIKE TO HEAR! FUHUHUHU!~"

Muffet snickered cheerfully, gazing at the both of them with playful glints in her eyes. Big Sister, hm? I believe she's got that role down quite nicely, I will admit. Compassionate enough to earn it, and tough enough to enforce it. That's a pretty effective combination if I've ever seen one. Her eyes glinted mischievously once again, her far right eye just briefly gazing at Undyne's chest, one in which Asriel was innocently and happily snuggling against. ...'Big', hm...?~

Asgore smiled at the two of them getting along. He yawned slightly and placed his paws behind his neck. He then noticed that a few brownies have been placed on their own platter and right before him. He didn't know how they got there, until he noticed Chara swiftly pulling his hand back. Asgore smiled softly as he grabs a few brownies and happily eats a few. Chara huffed, having been incredibly reluctant to hand over a few brownies to his father, though he was ultimately glad he did so. Griillby and Fuku gave their hospitable wave from afar, Gerson was smiling and chuckling to himself, and the Dreemurr Trio enjoyed the time they had with their father, eating the afternoon away.

All the Father figures had quite a relaxed afternoon.

(Later...)

Toriel was sitting on Chairiel in front of a mirror, brushing the fur on her ear. Asgore has been gone for quite a while with the children, but she decided not to call them after careful consideration. Asgore was more than capable of taking care of them on his own. If there were any problems, he would call her right away. She wasn't worried about them, but was instead just slightly curious about what was keeping them. Still, she was rather patient with all of them. Her patience was soon rewarded as two strong arms slid around her waist.

"I'm back home, Tori." Asgore smiled as he kissed the side of her head, nuzzling into her neck. "And the kids are tucked in. We've had quite a relaxing Father's Day. And even Undyne joined in on our fun. I was glad to spend some time with the boys all on our own."

"I see." Toriel smiled as she gently pets the paws holding her. "You've had quite a lot of misfortune placed on you over the course of all of these years. This was a day you definitely deserved to have, and sorely needed. Thus, I had you spend some time with the boys. I'm glad you had a fun time, dear." She says as she slowly turns around and slid her own paws around Asgore's neck. "it's getting rather late...shall we retreat to our bed? We can snuggle and cuddle for a little while before going to sleep~"

"...Are we going to be doing more than cuddling and snuggling?"

"...Perhaps. Either way, we'll be happy once we slumber."

"Still teasing, I see...but I suppose I can approve of that." Asgore smiled as he gently kissed Toriel's muzzle, and she gladly returns it, a small, warm ring of fire forming around them for a bit.

Father's Day was a day Asgore sorely needed, and Toriel was glad he received it.

I know the whole Grillby and Fuku thing isn't relaly true in-game...but I just couldn't help giving it a nod!

I see Undyne and Asgore's relationship with a definite significant light. A couple neutral endings involve Undyne falling into despair after losing Alphys AND Asgore. In some way or another, those two are her living emotional crutches. if she were to lose them both, she would fall into depression and not have the will to do anything anymore.

Asriel is going to make sure that never happens. Plus, I like this sort of relationship as well. They realy do think of each other positively, and Undyne's bond with the Dreemurrs grows ever deeper.

Appreciate great fathers, fellow readers!

Asgore: Happy Father's Day, children!~
