Ebott Ville, Toriel´s Residence, 1 year 7 months after the release of monsters and magic back in the world.
"I don't know what happened!" someone says.
"He has a bad fever" a male answers. "Did you just fed him with monster food and expected him not to get sick from the drench he received on Friday?" a male sternly said.
"What?" I say groggily
"kid´s awake" some other says… Sans?
"What happened" I say confused, I just remember crying my eyes out in Wilson´s shoulders and now I´m tucked in my bed with a damp rag in my head.
"You had a fever, a very bad one." Wilson blue eyes examine me while I try to remember anything about this.
My mind is blank
**"Hello pal" Chara´s voice sounds sad
Why are you sad Chara? I ask looking at my soul mate.
**"You cried yourself to a fever, dummy" Her tone is unsure.
"Thankfully I know how to treat those… Wendy and Webber get fevers if they get drenched in summer showers too." He says while rubbing his hand soothingly in my hair. He blows air through his digits and into my hair after explaining.
Oh…
Just like…. Mommy did when I got sick.
"Are you hurting anywhere Frisk" Mom asks and watch Wilson suspiciously.
"No" I say between tears and whimpers "Mommy used to do that when… *sniff* when I was sick" I say and feel the tears reach my ears and I can´t make them stop.
Wilson doesn´t stop too.
"It´s ok Frisk… do you want me to sing you a song?"
He can´t do this to me
**"What?" The spirit asks.
My body is working against me and I nod.
"Hey Jude, ~ don't make it bad~
Take a sad song~ and make it better~
Remember to let her into your heart~~
Then you can start~ to make it better~~
…..
And anytime you feel the pain, ~ hey Jude, refrain~
Don't carry the world upon your shoulders~~~"
His voice reaches the third strophe and I can no more.
Everything goes black slowly.
"That will do for now." I say tiredly to the two monsters in the room.
Yesterday ended sadly, Frisk could not stop crying and got me all wet in the shoulder, not that I minded but I really tried to stop him as I felt his temperature rising each passing second. Surely he was not crying just for me… I can´t stop wondering if he was crying a little bit for himself too.
Children are really something else, Frisk is so pure.
I wipe Frisk´s new tears from his red warm face.
"King Higgsbury, thank you very much for your help, no human doctor would have answered a call on Sunday night."
"Yes I know, that´s why I stayed"
*sigh*
"You can call me just by my name miss Toriel" I add without facing her.
"Well thank you Wilson, can I offer you a place to rest, you have been up all night and I know humans need sleep"
"I don´t think that´s a good idea, Frisk fever is not as high as it was at night but he might need medicine-"
"hey man, take it easy, your eyes are changing and you can go coo coo on us again." Sans interrupts me
I give in after watching my reflection from Frisk dresser´s mirror "Ok if you excuse me and lead me I will be very grateful"
I slept like a log until a shout wakes me up
"I´M HOME!"
Not a shout… Papyrus voice echoes from the living room.
*Checking sanity…
SANITY: 145/200
I´ll survive
I look at my reflection again in the guest room mirror.
I look as if a stampede of beefalos ran over me.
Handsome!
After humoring myself I open the door just to realize Papyrus startled expression upon seeing me.
"OH HELLO WILSON" He looks cheerful now "HOW IS FRISK?"
"I´m on my way to his room, last time I saw him his temperature was lower than last night"
Poor Papyrus was so nervous at watching Frisk little form shook and sweat with fever. He loves the child deeply.
"Why don't you accompany me and we can check up on him?" I question with a smile.
We reach Frisk room in no time and there is a lump of blue on a chair.
It´s Sans.
A sigh is heard "Please Do Excuse My Brother, He Falls Asleep At The Most Annoying Of Places" The tall skeleton lowers his voice so to not disturb the sleeping child.
"Oh don´t worry… He can´t help it"
I know he can´t
Papyrus confusion is crystal clear "He stayed up with missToriel and me, taking care of Frisk." "Oh, I See, My Brother Is Not Lazy When It Involves Frisk. You See, When Frisk Fell In The Underground, He Bonded With My Brother Like No Other Child In Snowdin. And Since Then He Always Checks On His Wellbeing" A fond smile comes to the skeleton features and I see why Frisk fell in love with him.
"I see"
Of course, he promised Toriel to take care of him anyway.
"OF COURSE I HELPED HIM! THE GREATEST HELP FOR THE GREATEST OF FRIENDS! THE GREAT PAPYRUS IS ALWAYS WATCHING OVER HIM" He forgot completely to keep it down.
"sure thing bro, i feel protected right now."
"SANS DON'T RUIN MY MOMENT"
"but it´s the truth"
Papyrus gives a stink eye, he is smiling though.
"Papyrus, Sans, can you come to the kitchen I need your help with something" The voice of le matrone of the house calls.
Wow…
Toriel is a poor liar.
Maybe I´m too trained?
**No, she is bad**
Ok thanks. I didn´t need your input
The two skeletons exit the room. Sans looks reluctant to leave me alone with Frisk, weird, I haven´t given him a reason as to why not to trust me… yet. In the end he goes without uttering a word.
Good.
They close the door.
Are they gone?
**No**
*sigh*
I get a chair and sit by Frisk´s bed.
And now?
**They are gone**
"Finally" I sigh again just because.
Don´t get me wrong I appreciate not having my life threatened by every creature I cross paths with but-
Wait
Where is Eye bone and Chester?
**They are in the living room, where you left them last night**
Ok I don´t remember that very well, between having a feverish sobbing child in my arms, and my sanity depleted so much last night I didn´t give them my attention, but good thing is I had enough sanity in myself to make sure they didn´t stay in that monster´s house.
There is another thing I need to address now and this is the best chance I can get.
"Hello Chara" I lower my voice as to not to startle her.
**"AAAAAHHH"
It didn´t work but that shocked face is as good as Frisk's.
"Can I talk to you for a bit?"
