Author's note: Obviously I'm not Toby fox nor do I own undertale. I honestly didn't know where to place this chapter. Since the perspective is very different but I came to the realization the only way to logically put this after the events and before the story goes deep and these characters are forgotten in the shuffle. Oh for those who will ask about it the timestamp is only for getting an idea how long things are taking. When they are happening and to give a timeline how long Frisk was in the underground. As a way to keep when the present is clear. If you ever watched or read a story where you can't figure when something's happening because they do a lot of flash-forwards and flashbacks with no sense of when or what's happening in the present you have my empathy and condolences thankfully this is something I know and suffered through in other fics. This is a problem a lot. I won't do any diary entry style story but the timestamp will be there for your convenience whether you need it or not is fine but from personal experience, I think it's a nice touch.
Friday evening April 12 202X
"Well, that went splendidly!" I say as I am locking the door to the apartment and Chad hits the couch laughing up a big storm. Great now I have to deal with more of his drunken behavior…
"Are you happy Chad you almost ruined our double date. If it hadn't been for Frisk's ex-boyfriend making a scene at the theater, she might have had the forethought to cancel tomorrow. You know that Frisk was your last chance. No girl will or wants to date you. None of my friends will go on a second date with you. Do you understand what you've done? She's a good woman, kind thoughtful strong; if I were her, I would have left you after the first pass you made to her. She's a person Chad, not a piece of meat you can gawk at with no consequences she's a classy woman. She's not the cashier at Kmart that you take out to sizzler and she's glad you paid her any attention at all. All I asked you to do was to dress formally that's it. You couldn't even do that, and that's all I asked of you! When you sober up in the morning we're going to have a talk."
"Yeah right, dude whatever." He was laughing uncontrollably.
Sigh, I can't believe I have to keep this charade, but after finally finding Stephanie and the issues Chad is causing I might have to plan on getting a new roommate. If I didn't need to keep my personal finances without reproach or without arousing suspicion on how someone so young has this much money much less how he got the money the less, I stand out the more, the easier this will be. I lay my head on the pillow trying to calm my racing mind I can plan in the morning.
The snow was falling lightly, there might be a snowstorm tonight but the day was nice for enjoying. Incredibly cold day but nothing I wasn't used to. While it stings me, I can stand it if it's for her. Who I see sitting by the on the bench looking at the ice rink. All bundled up in in a big fluffy scarf light blue with a matching coat and hat. Skates by her boots while she is singing a melody with no words. God if I didn't fall for her before I was falling now.
"Stephanie? Would you like to skate with me? We have the rink to ourselves why not? " She giggles, "Okay." taking my hand with no fear or hesitation.
I take her hand in mine and with my skates laced up. I took it nice and easy on the ice. I look at her eyes, and I know this is where I want to be. I do an impressive trick on the ice which made her smile up at me. I skated towards her I gather her in my arms dipped her and kissed her on the lips.
The sun was glimmering into my room. The dream I had of Stephanie was sweet; hopefully, I only see the glimpse of my dreams.
I wake up I stretch my back releasing tensions in my body bracing myself for the argument with Chad over his behavior last night. Cooking myself breakfast after what Chad pulled he's so lucky . . .
I made myself some pancakes with a side of hash browns and glass of orange juice. Chad came out of his room look worse for wear good the bastard deserves a hangover Aiden thought
"Remember what happened last night Chad?"
"No why should I 'Aiden'?" As always he put more emphasis on my name than needed.
"Can you stop that and stay on topic? Last night do you remember how much of a dick you were to Frisk who tried to be nice to you."
"You knew she wasn't my type of girl."Chad had a look of impertinence. That's just, great he's going to be difficult today.
"Well, you scared away your type of girl, Chad! Couldn't you be nice for one night? I remember you were nicer before you were more cheerful what's going on with you?"
"I feel hopeless Aiden; it's been so long when does the charade end? Why do we have to live like this still after all this time?"
"You know why and we all do our part Chad. But another stunt like this you can live with Mark and work with him, and he can get you a job in construction. He won't be lenient over how you act. Like how I am over your behavior. His lifestyle is very lonely and very minimalist."
"Whoa, Aiden I'm sorry, please." His face was dropping Aiden wasn't joking his face had stoney resolution, he's had enough of it truly.
"Chad you're not leaving me much of a choice here. You're embarrassing us and bringing unwanted attention. What if one of your stupid actions lead to newsworthy attention. That will lead to them wanting to interview us, and they'd dig a Little Deeper, and everything we have all worked for would be for nothing."
"Okay, I'll promise to be on my best behavior."
"Please do Chad. Frisk is a good woman she was kind enough to not to run no matter how rude and perverted you were. She was patient to listen while you decided to ruin the evening on purpose in order to go home early."
"Well, she's not my one Aiden! look at you found yours. "
"I get that Chad; doesn't mean you don't have to be a prick about the situation. You're not a child anymore, and you can't keep doing this! Don't mention the incident with Frisk ex-boyfriend okay?"
"Fine, fine I get it. I'll go start getting ready for today's date."
"Dress your best were going hiking first."
"Yippee." With that, I already knew he wasn't even going try to be civil today, but it was too late to call it off.
Oh well, how bad could today get anyway? If all else fails, I'll divert attention off Chad. I should let mark have a heads up regardless about the change. About him getting a roommate he doesn't like surprises, especially when he's dealing with this kind of issue.
Final note: They have secrets whether good or bad it's not your time to know yet trust me. As always if you want to ask me questions about anything look for my Tumblr Lady_fairy_moth ask questions or a suggestion. If it's really good I'll put it in the chapter and give full credit in the note of that chapter. All comments are appreciated. Though honestly this chapter probably the one I like the least.
