Notebooks were full of words and doodles. One thing that she was glad she had was great hearing and great concentration...for the most part.
Alphys held hers books close to her chest as she walked cautiously through the hallways after her final class of the day. She kept her head down at an angle where she could see where she was going, but equally didn't make eye contact with anyone.
As she walked, a booted leg threw itself in front of her and blocked her way. 'Well, hello, Darling!"
Mettaton, her best friend, pulled her into a hug, which made her yelp out and drop her books. "M-mettaton! You're making drop my school work!" She flailed and tried to get away, but she was in the tight grip of the fabulous robot.
"Relax, Darling!" He kissed the top of her head and kept her close. "We must go shopping tonight, Gorgeous, and get you all dolled up for your date!"
"M-m-my date?!" Alphys struggled even more. "T-the only date I have is with Mew Mew: Kissy Cutie!"
Mettaton pulled her towards the doorway. "N-no! My books!" Alphys threw herself out of Mettaton's arms and fell face first in front of her books, whining loudly. As she pulled herself up to her knees, there was someone standing in front of her. They bent down and collected her books neatly into a pile. Mettaton helped Alphys up, slurring over and over how he was worried about her, if she was okay, and he was sorry. Alphys looked upon the face of the being in front of her.
She had heard of him before.
D-Y-ex was his name. He had dark grey hair down to mid back, which was thrown into a pony tail, a black sweater left open with a pink muscle shirt beneath, and black skinny jeans. He had a slightly nervous face as he held the books out towards her, placing them in her hand and turning away, walking quickly.
"Oh, Darling. Look at that cutie who helped you!" Mettaton brushed Alphys off and pushed at her back to lead her away.
Other than Mettaton, D-Y-ex was one of the first people who actually went out of their way to help her.
Running towards some place to hide, Tussie stumbled upon a green house. She quickly opened the door and locked herself in, leaning over with her paws on her knees and taking deep, heavy breaths.
Being in such a big building around so many new people was going to take some getting use too.
Her whole body shook as she leaned against the door and slid down, small sniffling sounds coming from her.
This was going to be very, very hard…
"Howdy! Are you...okay…?"
She hadn't even notice that there was someone in here with her. She let out a yelp and threw her arms in front of her for protection. A small laugh came from the other. "Don't be scared of me. I won't hurt you."
She moved her hands away from her face and opened her eyes, which tears had formed in the corners, and saw a small goat being in a yellow and green striped sweater, with his hand stretched out.
"H-hello. I am Asriel. I usually hide out in here. Would you like to s-see my flowers?"
Tussie reached her hand out shakily, her whole body tense. Taking the hand, the other helped pull her up and wiped the tears from her face, which made her tense up even more, if that was possible. "Sorry…"
Walking slowly to the flowers he tended to, which making sure Tussie was close behind, he smiled wide as she showed her his flowers.
"W-w-wow…" Tussie smiled a little bit as she looked around, her paws shaking slightly less. "These are wonderful."
Asriel smiled and nodded. "T-thank you. You may visit them anytime."
"T-thank you…"
"ALRIGHT, PUNKS, LET'S DO THE THING!"
Napstablook floated silently next to Undyne, watching her beat the shit out of a punching bag.
"You….wow….you're showing the punching bag who's boss….."
"DAMN RIGHT I AM." With focus burning in her eyes, Undyne struck over and over at the punching bag, her muscles shifting under her scaled skin. She was pretty toned for being a woman, and she liked it that way.
Physical activity was her jam.
Napstablook floated over to the boombox and put on some music for them to work out too.
"GhOSTIE, YOU AREN'T EVEN WORKING OUT!"
"I...am….I'm floating higher...and stronger...than I usually do…"
"ARE YOU IMAGINING YOUR GREATEST ENEMY WHILE YOU DO IT!?"
Napstablook shifted his eyes downwards. To be honest, he was just thinking about how tragic it would be to not have music anymore.
"...ah….yes…."
"THEN YOU'RE DOING WELL!"
