Yay! Finally! A long chapter! Enjoy!
-Frisk's POV-
As I sliced the Toy Knife across Flowey's stem, I could just feel Chara giggling. Don't get any ideas, Chara. I said you could do anything you wanted to me if I hurt my friends. Flowey is not a friend.
As Flowey turned to dust, I could feel my LV rising. For a second, I got high off the feeling. My old mindset came back. Kill or be killed. I snapped out as soon as I could, but by them a couple of seconds have passed.
I stepped forward to help Papyrus up but faltered when he seemed afraid of me. I stopped moving and put the knife away. This made him visibly relax. He got up.
"UHH… HUMAN? WHAT WAS THAT?" As soon as he posed the question, he started stumbling. His HP was probably dangerously low. I reached into my inventory and pulled out a few Cinnabunnies. I wordlessly handed them over.
Papyrus immediately ate them, and I could see his condition improve immediately. "THANK YOU, HUMAN. FOR THE CINNABUNNIES AND FOR SAVING ME." I nodded. I didn't feel like speaking at the moment. The more LV you have, the more detached you are. Meaning you probably speak less. That's what happened to me, at least. And… to Sans too. I snapped back to attention when Papyrus continues talking.
"BUT… HUMAN. WHAT WAS THAT? THE WAY YOU DID IT… IT FEELS LIKE YOU'VE DONE THIS BEFORE." I didn't know how to answer. I didn't want to tell him the truth, I didn't know what would happen this. But… I couldn't lie to this sweet cinnamon roll. So, I answered in the vaguest way could.
"It's simple. But that doesn't matter right now. We need to find Sans." I then heard the snow behind me crunching, as if someone was walking towards me. I turned around to find Sans the skeleton there. He looked better than our last meeting but was still a little worse than usual.
"heyyy, guys…" He then noticed the dust on the ground, and probably my LV, which was at LV 3. He turned to me, his eyes dark.
"frisk… what happened here?" I could hear the threat in his voice. I cringed a bit. I really hadn't thought this through, have I?
"No, you haven't." Oh, great. Chara is back. Never mind, I can deal with them later.
"Sans… Uh… Th-this is not what it l-looks like!" I threw my hands up a bit in the air. Sans takes a step towards me.
Luckily, Papyrus steps in. "FLOWEY WAS TRYING TO KILL ME. SO FRISK SAVED ME. IT MAY NOT BE A GOOD THING THAT THEY DID IT THIS WAY, BUT THE PROBABLY JUST ACTED IN THE HEAT OF THE MOMENT." Sans still seemed a bit skeptical, but as he ran over Papyrus' words in his mind, he paused.
"that weed… tried to kill you?!" Sans was getting mad. If not at me, then at Flowey. Papyrus looked at Sans in maybe a bit of disbelief. "he's lucky he's dead, otherwise if i got my hands on him…" His hands clenched into fists, then relaxed. He closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them, thy were normal now. Sans looked at me.
"frisk… can't believe i'm saying this, about you killing someone, but thanks." I also relaxed. I thought for a moment there that he was going to kill me.
"Uhh… No problem?" Papyrus then remembered what we had been planning to do moments ago. Look for Sans. Well, he was here, and Paps probably wanted to interrogate him.
"SANS. WHY A-ARE YOU…" He couldn't seem to say it, but Sans got the message. His eyes went dark again, and he looked away.
"paps, i'd rather not explain right now. can we please just drop this?" Papyrus crossed his arms.
"NO, SANS, WE CAN'T 'JUST DROP THIS'. YOU NEED HELP, AND I'M GOING TO GET YOU HELP." Sans looked at me desperately.
"frisk… can you help me out here?" I shrugged. Maybe I should have, but with my LV being higher, it also made sense to see him suffer a bit. Anyway, he needed to deal with this on his own.
"No can do, Sans. If you had done your little time-stopping trick, then you could've avoided this." Sans looked exasperated.
"frisk, that my 5th bottle of ketchup! how am i supposed to perform that kind of magic while i'm practically drunk?!"
"Maybe you shouldn't have gotten drunk? Besides, you've done it before!" Sans answered without thinking.
"yes, but that was when-" Luckily Papyrus interrupted right there.
"STOP ARGUING, YOU TWO!" Sans then realized what he had been about to say, and his eyes widened.
"uhhh… sorry paps."
"SANS… CAN YOU PLEASE JUST TELL ME WHY YOU'RE IN THIS CONDITION? I'M REALLY WORRIED ABOUT YOU…" Sans desperately tries to make up an excuse.
"well… i… uh… gotta go, bye!" The short skeleton then shortcuts away. Papyrus turned to me with a bit of a wide-eyed look.
"SANS CAN DO THAT?" I quietly nodded.
"FRISK… COULD YOU TELL ME WHY SANS IS… DEPRESSED?" Oh, the poor cinnamon roll. He was worried about his brother, but nobody told him anything… I would have told him, but… It wasn't my place to explain problems that weren't my own.
I shook my head. "Sorry, Paps. I can't tell you. It's not my place to say." Papyrus looked disappointed, and a part of my brain also said he looks cute… At first I thought that maybe Chara was saying that- "Nope. I am not saying that. How dare you imply that I'm saying that?!"-but I soon realized that it wasn't Chara's voice.
Papyrus sighed. "VERY WELL, HUMAN." He paused for a moment. "DO YOU WISH TO COME OVER TO MY HOUSE? IT IS GETTING LATE, AND I WOULD NEVER FORGIVE MYSELF IF I LEFT YOU HERE, OUT IN THE COLD! YOU CAN SLEEP ON THE COUCH!"
I smirked. It seemed Papyrus was back to his normal self. "Yeah, sure let's go." And with that, we walked off toward his and Sans' house.
Yeah, probably eventual Pafriskus. It's not an OTP of mine, but I'm ok with it. So with that, I am going to go start writing another fic. I don't have any ideas for the name yet, tho. It'll be a Gravity Falls x Undertale fic! Ultimate awesomeness! Thanks for reading!
