Oh my goodness! I took a hiatus without even meaning to! Sorry for the long wait, I had many things to take care of and not a lot of time! But I was able to at least write some ideas and stuff for this story and some of the beginnings for the next ones.
Welp, enjoy! I decided to post this story in one chapter because I feel bad for making you guys wait sooo long. I'm going to make sure I get these chapters out much faster since I have a bigger list to do now. Yeee!
"Wow... you really did it, partner," Chara nudged Frisk, as he smiled back at him.
Frisk was viewing a sunset on a hill with some of the friends he made while traveling underground. On his right was Asriel, Toriel, Dr. Asgore, and Undyne, while on his left was Chara, Papyrus, and King Sans. He was able to free the monsters of the underground by engaging in an intense battle with a friend of his that ended with reconciliation. With a promise to his friend that he would visit him, Frisk went with the others to finally leave the Ruins with peaceful intentions towards the humans.
They were looking towards the bright new world with admiration and hope.
"Wow, it's so big and bright... how are we going to get there, to the humans?" Asriel asked.
"What do mean, sweety?" Toriel asked her son.
"That big bright circle. That's where the humans are right?" Asriel replied, as he shielded his eyes while pointing towards the sun.
"No, my child. That is the sun," Toriel said, smiling at him.
"The sun?" Asriel asked.
"Yes, it is a bright star that the Earth revolves around to bring daylight to the world," Asgore, his father, explained to him.
"Oooh! Chara did you hear that? The sun!" Asriel said to his human brother.
"I did. Seems like it rivals the god of hyper death right?" Chara said with a smirk.
"Eh hem. Well... it has an important job to do for all the Earth, so challenging him is out of the question! So we are at a draw!" Asriel said confidently, as Chara snickered.
"Ha! So this is the human world huh? Look how small it is!" Undyne said, as her hair blew in the wind while she looked down on the world before herself.
"Actually Undyne, the world is round, so you can't see everything, and this is a speck compared to the rest of it," Asgore explained.
"Wha! Then how big IS the world?!" Undyne asked.
"Well, we'll be able to find out now! We have all the time to find out," Papyrus said, happily.
"Yeah, all the time in the world... if they accept us," Sans said, although happy, he was still realistic.
"Never fear, your majesty! I, Asriel Dreemur, will speak to the humans and show them that we are friendly and mean no harm!" Asriel said, with confidence.
"Well what about Frisk? He's the one who brought us out from the Underground, shouldn't he be the one to talk to them?" Chara inquired.
"Hmm, that does make sense..." Asriel said.
"I think Chara would do a better job than me," Frisk said, stunning Chara.
"Huh? Me?" Chara asked.
"Sure you would. You've been with the monsters longer than me. You know them better than I do, even though we are all friends. It'll be fine. I'll be your backup if you need me, so no one can say you are wrong. What do you say, partner?" Frisk said to him with a confident smile.
Chara was stunned, as the others chimed in, agreeing with Frisk. Then Chara snickered and said,
"Alright, alright. You guys convinced me. I'll do it," Chara said, and then he started walking opposite of where the road that leads to the people are.
"What the?! Chaaara! You are going the wrong way!" Asriel called, as he ran after his brother.
"Well I'm going to get a look at these humans! See how tough they are!" Undyne howled as he ran ahead on the road.
"Oh dear," Toriel said.
"I'll go stop Undyne, Tori," Asgore said, as Toriel smiled from hearing her old nickname from her husband.
"And I'll get the children, Fluffybuns," Toriel said with a small smirk, as Asgore blushed from hearing her call him that.
They went towards their respective directions, as Frisk watched and then he turned when he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"So Frisk, where are you going to go?" Papyrus asked him.
"Huh... I haven't thought about that really," Frisk replied.
"Ah I see. Well, where is your family? I'm sure they really miss you," Papyrus asked, as his eyes shifted briefly towards Sans, while Sans did the same towards him.
Frisk looked downward with a small frown, recalling the realization that he was alone. He opened his mouth to speak, but another voice interrupted him,
"Well, I adopt Frisk as my sibling. So I'm his family."
Frisk felt two hands on his shoulders, as he looked up to see his friend Marisol, a human female who ended up in the Underground when she was excavating Mount Ebott and decided to enter in. He smiled at her with a happiness clearly in his watering magenta eyes, as she smiled back with confidence in her orange eyes.
"A-Ah, I see, so Frisk's older sibling is M-Marisol," Papyrus said to clarify, as he felt nervous in the presence of the lovely female human.
She smiled at him sweetly as she nodded, and Frisk also smiled at him.
"Excellent! Then you have somewhere to go Frisk... with your sibling..." Papyrus said, almost looking towards Sans, as the skeleton king looked downward.
Marisol and Frisk looked towards one another, knowing that the skelebros hadn't spoken in a long time considering the King's duty to the monsters. As if they read each other's thoughts, they smiled and made a sharp nod to one another.
"Hey guys, there's quite a lot of room around where I live. I'm sure we can find a place for both of you to stay," Marisol said.
"That would be cool if both of you could come with us. You know, just until you can adjust and then you can go wherever, if you want," Frisk added, as the brothers contemplated the offer.
"I... I agree! I would like to see the homeland of M- you two anyhow," Papyrus said, confidently.
"Yeah, I'll come too. See how the world is and stuff," Sans said, seeming to be happier than usual.
"Great! Then let's head out. Oh! And I should call some friends of mine to meet all of you guys," Marisol said, as they followed her.
Two weeks later:
Marisol and Frisk found a decent sized warehouse that they were able to fix up along with the monsters for a gathering that they were having, so that Marisol could introduce her friends to the monsters and help Chara with building a stronger bond between humans and monsters.
People were coming over to meet the monsters, and as more arrived, Marisol's best friend entered the building. Marisol was talking with Papyrus and Sans as they told her that their relationship was slowly getting better, while Frisk was also listening in. When she saw her, Marisol excused herself and told the skelebros to stay there as she went towards her friend.
"Hey-lo, Curtain. You made it!" Marisol said, as she and Curtain gave each other pound.
Unlike Marisol with her more curly red hair, orange eyes, and orange blouse with green pants, Curtain has straight black hair with blue tips and a purple headband, purple eyes, and a blue corset-top dress with black leggings and a purple scarf.
"Hello, Marisol. Nice to see you, and of course I'd come to attend my best friend's event," Curtain said with a gentle smile.
"Cool! I knew you would, best friend! Or at least tell me if you couldn't," Marisol said with a grin.
"Of course!" Curtain said, with a grin that revealed her one fang.
"Oh Curtain, come meet some friends of mine. I'm sure they'd like to meet you too," Marisol said, and Curtain nodded.
The two girls approached the skelebros, as Marisol began the introduction,
"Guys, this is my best friend, Curtain. My best friend, this is the skelebros, Papyrus and Sans, who was also the king of the monsters."
Papyrus shook Curtain's hand first and said, "It's very nice to meet you, Ms. Curtain!"
"Likewise, Papyrus. Thank you," Curtain said, as their handshake ended.
Then Sans shook Curtain's hand and the moment their eyes made contact, it was as if no one was in the room. Their gaze wasn't broken as Curtain said,
"Hello, King Sans. I've heard about you from Marisol."
Her voice sounding like silk made him suddenly relax as he said,
"Nice to meet ya, Curtain. But you can call me Kans, for short."
She softly smiled and said, "Alright, and nice to meet you too."
Papyrus was surprised and questionable to their interaction as he looked at Marisol to confirm his suspicion. His eyes widened when he saw her with a smirk on her face and furrowed eyebrows.
"So, you're here for the human-monster party thing?" Kans asked.
"Yes, I am, and it seems like you are too," Curtain said, as Kans chuckled.
"Yeah. I like your name. It's unique too," Kans said.
"Oh, thank you. Yes, it is pretty different. Your name too," Curtain said with a smile, as he smiled back.
"So, you're a human right?" Kans asked.
"Half, actually," Curtain replied, noticing him blink back a few times as she smirked.
"Half? What's the other half then?" Kans asked.
"Monster. I'm half human and half monster," Curtain replied, surprising Kans, and Papyrus since he happened to be listening.
"Huh... how though? Monsters have been sealed underground. Unless some stood behind," Kans asked, recalling a document he found in the King's room.
"Aecans who lived in the high mountains were hidden, so only half were sent underground. Eventually a human found one, they were married, and I was born afterward," Curtain replied.
"Wow, I never thought I'd meet someone like you. It's an honor, really," Kans said.
"Honor? I should be honored to meet a king," Curtain said.
"... I'm not a king worth honoring. At least you show that humans and monsters can make peace. That's more important," Kans said, as he looked away from her.
"... I know what you've done. I've been told already. But you are still king, and you were willing to carry a heavy burden for your people. Although I don't approve the method, I can see how much it hurt you to do it, even to save your whole race," Curtain said, as Kans looked back at her in surprise.
They exchanged smiles, and then they noticed that they were still holding hands. Blushes dusted their cheeks as they parted hands.
"Oh um, s-sorry about that," Curtain said, as she rubbed her hand.
"Heh, no worries," Kans said, as he placed his hand in his pocket.
"How cute," Marisol whispered to Papyrus, as he nodded with a smile.
The gathering party continued, as more people came, and while a certain song was playing, Kans and Curtain were convinced to dance together by Papyrus and Marisol.
"So, how did you know already know about me? Did someone tell you?" Kans asked.
"Marisol told me shortly after she introduced me to Frisk. They both told me a lot about what was happening and who was underground. Though I've only met Frisk, Chara, and Asriel so far. And now you and your brother," Curtain replied.
"Heh, so you've yet to meet everyone. Okay then. Well, actually..." Kans held Curtain a little closer in a small dip and added, "You know a lot about us, but I'd like to know more about you."
Curtain felt her cheeks heat up, and she said, "Heehee. Well, I feel the same. I mean, I know a good amount of things of you guys, but not directly."
"Well, I hope that we can get together more often after this. Maybe for some food, or drinks..." Kans said with a smile.
"Sounds like a date... I might take you up on that offer when we're better acquainted," Curtain said.
"That's fine..." Kans said, and then the song ended as everyone stopped dancing and clapped to the DJ.
"That was a nice da- Wha?!" Curtain said as she noticed that Kans fell asleep standing up while holding one of her hands.
"Kans. Kans! Are you asleep?" Curtain said, as she waved her hand in his face, and then she snapped her fingers a couple of times.
"Ah! I mean, sorry about that. All this moving and getting used to living above ground has worn me out more then usual," Kans said, as he rubbed the back of his skull.
"Heehee, I'm sure you are quite exhausted. The party has been going on for a while too. Maybe you should go home to rest," Curtain suggested.
"Maybe. But I wouldn't be able to see you if I did," Kans said with a wink, and Curtain smirked.
"Oh don't worry, Kans. I'm sure we'll see each other again," Curtain said as she lifted her free hand to show she was holding his phone.
"Wha- How did you get that?" Kans asked, perplexed.
"I have my ways. Here you go. You can now call me if you'd like," Curtain said, as she handed him the phone.
"You gave me your number?" Kans asked as he took the phone back, and Curtain nodded.
"I trust you wouldn't give it to anyone else. And I'd like to get to know you more," Curtain said with a smile, as Kans smiled back.
"Welp, I guess I sh-" Kans stopped speaking, as they both noticed that they were still holding hands from the dance.
"Hehehe. It almost seems like we're stuck together, huh?" Curtain said as she partially covered her smile.
"Heh heh. Yeah, almost. But maybe... I won't have to leave by myself one day," Kans said, a soft blush on his cheekbones, as Curtain also blushed a little more.
"So, I'll see you later, Curtain," Kans said.
"Yes... and you can call me Cura if you want. It's my nickname," Cura said.
"Oh okay. Bye Cura," Kans said.
They separated hands and waved to each other goodbye, as Kans left the place. Then he felt hands on his shoulders as he looked up to see Papyrus.
"Bro, what are you-" Kans was interrupted by Papyrus, who said,
"Until you are not alone, I'll walk you home, brother."
Papyrus smiled wholeheartedly, as Kans also smiled with an almost tearful expression.
"Thanks bro. You're the best," Kans said.
"Of course I am, brother! And you are too," Papyrus said, as they continued to walk together.
