Isn't it sweet when your brother picks you up without you asking him? Well it would be but unfortunately you go back repentantly back in time, you have your dead sibling inside of your head, the love of your life doesn't remember you, there is a good chance you fucked up the timeline, and you got blood all over your favorite sweater! (Really short guys sorry, oh and POV switching, and thank you so much for everything it means the world to me.)
Why did you do that?
You got into the car slowly, trying to block out his voice. He was yelling at you for something, you just couldn't bring yourself to care even the slightest. You rubbed your eyes hard, when you opened them you saw patterns that made no sense.
That made you smile, if only a little.
That was so stupid Frisk, it's just going to make you more dramatic when the timeline resets.
You rolled down the window so that the cool crisp air nipped at your cheeks, you could see the outline of the brothers from the shop's window. As soon as the car started moving you longed to see them once more, just their presence was enough to put you at ease.
ARE YOU EVEN LISTENING TO ME?
"FRISK!" His voice only worsened your migraine, you winced as your held your hair and pulled lightly.
You were such a mess.
Yeah you are.
'Shut up, at least I'm not a disembodied voice living in someone's head.' You thought, hoping that they would leave you the fuck alone. Asriel was still talking to you, you could hear sounds but no words were forming at all.
At least I don't go back in time, without anybody forgetting about me.
'Touche''
"-THAT GUY?" Asriel's rant seemed to have come with a close, you looked up and saw that he was staring intently at you, while multiple cars honked for him to move.
"Green light." You murmured, not finding the strength to even form a sentence.
He cursed under his breath, you rolled up the window slightly, the cool wind still tousled your hair and you smiled as you felt your headache lessen. You placed your forehead against the window, faintly remembering when you were so close to Sans. No matter the timeline, Sans would always be Sans.
"Who was the guy Frisk, he looked familiar." You perked up but went back to slumping, it wasn't the first time someone would remember a little.
"Old lover," You loved whenever you teased him with your humor, "Separated because of the war, but turns out his mistress and him are getting back together. I reignited some memories and the poor guy fell head over heels for me again, but now the brother has the hots for me now too. So you could only imagine the tension. Did y-."
"Friiiiiiisk." He whined, and for just a split second you could see your brother.
The real Asriel, your best friend
But the multiple personality disorder arose and there went your brother. Right through your fingers yet again.
"Old friend calm down," It wasn't exactly a lie, "I think you two may have met, I forgot." You returned to your fetal position in the car. You hated how much you already missed the bonehead, it had barely even been five minutes.
You really shouldn't have given him the picture.
"Hmm, you know Mo-Toriel was really worried about you," He actually sounded concerned for you, his hands tightened around the wheel, "Do you have any idea how many times Da-Asgore called you? Hell he was about to get a royal guard to come and find you!" You smiled, knowing for a fact that he would actually go through with it.
"Sorry, I forgot I had work today, thought it was Sunday." You pondered weather you should mention that you didn't care about work at all.
It's not like it mattered anyway.
Sure tell him, oh and don't forget to mention that his dead brother says hi.
'Ah, still sarcastic even in the after life huh?' You thought bitterly, you wished there was someway to flip someone who lives in your mind.
"You never forget what day it is Frisk," You rolled your eyes openly at that one, "That's like one of the only good things about you." You turned to look at him, his eyes were on you rather than the street.
Eh, what's so bad about dying?
"That I never miss work?"
"You never forget, it's both annoying and amazing."
HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA OH GOD, PLEASE LET ME SAY HI!
You felt tears prickle the edges of your eyes, you went to rub them away from sight. Now was so not the time to be a crybaby. You looked out your window and noticed how the sun had begun to set. The sky was an explosion of colors now, all different shades of oranges, reds, pinks and even in the distance indigo. The bright colors made you think back to his eyes, ironic as it was they were just a single blue hue.
He had always said that his were so unspecial, you faintly remembered a timeline in which you listed everything beautiful about him. You had cried for God knows how long when you lost that list the nest reset.
"If you're hinting at something, yes I still remember when you tried on my bra, no I have not mentioned it to anyone." You smirked as his pale face flushed a bright pink.
"UGH SHUT UP IDIOT, I JUST WANTED TO KNOW HOW IT FEELS LIKE!" He began to hit you on the shoulder with his unoccupied hand, you winced at each hit.
Your frail body was already sensitive as it is.
"I mean if you still want it I still have it," You tried not to laugh as he shrunk in his seat even further, "I haven't worn it since then, it just didn't feel right on the body of another." You picked at the loose skin on your fingers absentmindedly.
"Ugh, you're lucky I'm in a good mood today Frisk. I almost let you rot there with those...friends of yours." You quickly cast your eyes over Asriel, he seemed to be thinking?
Maybe he-.
He doesn't remember, don't get your hopes up.
Buzzkill much?
After some time you felt some type of bravery swell up deep inside you, you bit your fingernail anxiously. How are you supposed to start a conversation with your multiple personality brother and tell him that you're very stressed, much depressed, and go back in time and remember everything. Well not everything but at least you know what to expect.
"Stop biting your nails Frisk, it's annoying." You cast an annoyed glare his way, deciding to be even more of an ass you continued your task. "Ugh,I should have let you face Toriel alone." He groaned, you took a deep breath and bit hard on your thumb.
Blood oozed out but you didn't care, fully facing Asriel you proceeded to fuck up yet again another time line.
"Hey Asriel?" Chara was screaming at you to not say anything, just keep your mouth shut.
yOU arE JuST gOinG tO RuIN EVerYThiNG eVEn mORe!
"What?" His monotone response wasn't really helping your anxiety but that was besides the point.
dON't dO iT FriSK
"Have you ever thought about how there could be other universes besides our own?" He seemed thrown off, probably expected another embarrassing memory, "Uhh, no why would I?" You wiped away your bleeding thumb on your sweater.
"W-Well uh just think about it, right now a completely different you is living right now as we speak," You gripped your hands tightly, focusing on keeping your voice steady and calm, "I mean if you think about in an another Alternate Universe everything could be sort of similar, or worlds apart."
"Alternate Universe?"
"AU for short, but listen to me Asriel in some AU's we could be living underground. In others we're monsters that were trapped by humans, in others I could be the only human and you're all monsters underground, in others we're in outer space. H-Hey ever think about the AU where our roles are reversed? T-That one's, pfft really funny to think about?" You laughed your heart out, you laughed for so long and so hard that you felt yourself crying.
You held your sides, your entire body was begging for you to stop but to hell with that.
"Frisk wh-." You didn't want him to lecture you, you just wanted him to listen.
How hard was it for him to shut up and listen?
"Wouldn't it be amazing that with every AU, I could go back in time, and I couldn't actually die?" You pressed your palms onto your head, your laughter fading, "Like there was no way, no FUCKING WAY THAT I COULD DIE. N-No matter what, and s-some days when you least EXPECT IT THE TIMELINE RESTS!"
The car stopped moving entirely, you didn't care at all.
"Fri-."
"AND WHEN THE TIMELINE RESETS, IT CAN RESET TO A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DAY AND EVEN A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT AU FLOWEY," You froze at your mistake, your turned your head and saw his confused stare.
"Who's Flowey?" A bitter laugh escaped your lips, of course.
What did you think would happen? You would be a drama queen, scream at him about timelines and crap, and then BAM? He instantly remembers everything just because you really, really want him to?
You-
'Yeah, yeah I know you idiot you're getting very predictable.' You snapped at Chara, hoping he would just leave it at that.
"Never mind, I just uh let out all my stress out on you," You rubbed your eyes free of tears, "My nightmares have just been getting worse, and I've been lacking in the whole take your pills thing two so-." You went to brush your hair free from your face, but Asriel caught it in his.
He began to pull the sleeves from your sweater upwards, you yanked it back towards you. A mad blush spreading all over your face.
"W-What the hell are you doing?" He rolled his eyes at you, as if it was obvious.
"I want to check your wrists idiot, remember the last time you went on and on about time and crap?" You froze instantly, you had been trying to forget that memory for a while now. "I don't know about you but I rather not see Toriel and Asgore cry, and I could go without seeing you so messed up." You could tell that deep down, Asriel was fighting for you.
He really did care about you in some weird way, you felt that you at least owed it to him to be strong for the next few resets. It wasn't fair that you were being such a crybaby, heh the roles were really turned around this time huh?
"Asirel trust me I'm okay, I just got too stressed with work and everything and I just took it out on you but really I'm fine," You shot him your best smile that you could manage, hoping it would cover for you, "I promise I'm really okay, that's kind of why I stayed so long with those friends. They really helped me forget everything for a while, but I-."
The car hummed to life and began moving once again, you huffed in annoyance as you brushed strands of loose hair away. There goes your nice and oddly pleasant moment.
Asriel spoke quietly and in a monotone voice so that it was hard to really tell how he was feeling. "You should really be with those two weirdos more often, I'm pretty sure they're willing to actually put up with you." A smile played your features, he cast a quick glance at you, "You're so emotional and dramatic Frisk." That got a laugh out of you, be it sort of forced.
A ghost of a smile spread across his face, before returning to his unemotional stature. He turned on the radio before adjusting it for a while, you were about to complain about him just leaving it alone but a familiar tune began to play. Your smile went twice as big as your starred at Asriel with your anxious eyes, he wanted you to listen to your song.
"If it'll get you to shut up and stop being a crybaby so be it." You didn't care about his insults, instead you focused on the words and began to mouth the words.
I'm taking over my body,
Back in control, no more shotty,
I bet a lot of me was lost,
Ts uncrossed and Is undotted,
I fought it a lot
And it seems a lot like flesh is all I got,
Not anymore, flesh out the door,
Swat,
This seems a little too on the nose, don't you think?
I must've forgot, you can't trust me,
I'm open a moment and close when you show it,
Before you know it, I'm lost at sea,
And now that I write and think about it,
And the story unfolds,
You should take my life,
God don't say it, come on please don't say it
You should take my soul
Ugh, are you trying to tell me something Frisk?
You felt your eyelids get heavy, you figured that you deserved a good nap after the wonderful day you had. You continued to murmur the lyrics even as you laid your forehead against the window. You felt silent tears fall down your cheeks as your thought flooded with memories of all different Sans' you had met in all different AU's
They were all so different but they were all Sans.
You begged and prayed, that to whoever was in charge of all of this that they would let you wake up tomorrow. On a new day entirely, and maybe just maybe in the same timeline and universe. It's the most heartbreaking moment to wake up in a completely different world, when you were doing so well. You could hear Chara whispering in your head even as you fell asleep.
He never left you alone did he?
cAN't wAIt tO SEe hOW MuCh YoU'Ll cRY wHeN It aLL ReSEts FRIsK
And I'll be holding on to you
I'll be holding onto you
