Asriel was in his room drawing when he heard a knock on his door.
"Come in," he said, looking up from his paper. Justice walked in, shaking a bit. "Oh, howdy, Justice," Asriel said with a small smile.
"H-Hey," Justice replied, blushing brightly.
"Need something?" Asriel asked. Justice thought for a moment, sweat running down her forehead.
"U-Uh… y-yeah… I n-needed t-to u-uh… a-ask you something," she said.
"Alright, what is it?" Asriel asked, smiling. Justice stood, silent. She opened her mouth but no words came out. Justice whimpered a bit. "A-Are you alright?" Asriel asked.
"N-Never mind!" Justice squeaked, before running off, tears running down her face.
"H-Hey! W-Wait!" Asriel yelled, going after her. Justice kept running. She ran up to the attic and shouted at her reflection in the mirror.
"Y-You're worthless! You're weak! You can't even tell him you love him without getting scared!" She said, crying.
"Y-You love me?" Asriel asked, watching the girl. Justice's jaw dropped and she turned to face Asriel, whimpering. Asriel went over to the girl and hugged her.
"H-hey, its okay," he said.
"N-No it i-isnt!" Justice cried. "You're so nice and cute and smart! I'm way out of your league and you probably don't even like me back!" She sobbed, covering her face. Asriel smiled at her and rubbed her back.
"Maybe we could try something?" Asriel asked.
"H-Huh?" Justice asked, looking at him.
"You k-know, we could try being together," he said.
"R-Really? Y-You w-want to?" Justice asked. Asriel nodded. With that, Justice squealed and hugged the goat child. Asriel blushed a bit and hugged her back. Justice smiled and ran off, going to find Mettaton. Asriel smiled and went to find Toriel.
"Mom?" Asriel called.
"Oh, hey Azzy," Toriel said, sitting on the couch. "Need something, sweetheart?" She asked.
"W-Well… Justice loves me…" He said, not really sure how to put it.
"Loves you? You mean like she has a crush on you?" Toriel asked.
"W-Well, yeah," Asriel said.
"Oh. Well is that a good thing do you think?" Toriel asked.
"I guess, but I'm not really sure I feel the same. She's nice, but I'm just confused."
"About what?"
"Well," Asriel began, thinking. "I'm unsure about how I feel about her." He said. Toriel sat down with him.
"Let me tell you a story," she said. "When I was about your age, I boy I knew told me that he liked me. And I felt the same way as you. I was confused. He was a nice guy, but I wasn't sure if I felt the same way. So I told him that we could try being together. So we did. And one afternoon, I was drawing with him in the attic at his house. We both agreed to go downstairs to get something to eat. We got up and went down. As I went down the steps however, I tripped and fell, landing on my back at the bottom of the steps. The boy quickly rushed to help me up, causing him to trip and fall down the steps. But somehow by sheer luck, he landed on top of me and we kissed. And at that moment, I knew that I loved him. So, we grew up together and we loved each other ever since. And that boy that I fell for is your father."
"Wow…" Asriel said, with a giggle. Toriel chuckled.
"I'm not saying that you will fall for her, I'm not saying that you won't, but if you're confused, the best thing to do is to just do what you think is right," Toriel said. Asriel thought for a moment.
"D-Do what I think is right…" He said, thinking aloud. He nodded and hugged Toriel. "Thanks Mom," he said, before running off to find Justice.
Justice was in the attic, looking at herself in the mirror. She pulled out her gun and tapped the barrel. The gun glowed a bright ghastly blue. Seeing the color change, the girl calmly shot herself in the chest. Instead of hurting her, the bullet made her clothing glow. She watched in the mirror at her clothes changed from her shirt, vest, and shorts, to a light blue dress with a lace pattern at the bottom. A blue ribbon tied around her waist, tying in a bow on the back of the dress. Her hair was tied up in a matching blue bow. Though she hated being dead, Justice had to admit, dying did give her soul a few perks, like gaining the ability to do multiple things with her guns, changing the barrel to all sorts of colors. Her specialty was green, however. The color green allowed her to fire flowers that would heal any wound. She looked at the dress and smiled. She then changed back into her normal clothes and went to look for Asriel. She met him at the top of the steps, almost bumping into him.
"Oh, hello again," She said, blushing a bit.
"Hey, I was just looking for you," Asriel replied.
"Oh, I was looking for you," Justice said, "I wanted to ask you something."
"What is it?"
"W-Well…" Justice began, "I was wondering if you'd like to go on a picnic with me." Asriel smiled a bit.
"Oh, sure, where will we go to have it?"
"Some place special, I know just the place," Justice said, smiling. "But it's a surprise." And with that she quickly ran off to the kitchen to get things ready.
Perseverance sat in the attic, his nose in a book. He wasn't really much for social interaction, not to mention his current situation was a bit shaking to him. Though he loved nothing more than to lose himself in a good story. Muffet was similar to him, though instead of a book she always had her face buried in her phone. She hung from the ceiling above Perseverance, checking various posts on UnderNet.
"Don't you ever get tired of books?" She asked, not breaking her gaze from her phone.
"No," Perseverance quickly responded, not looking away from his book.
"You know there can be more to life than just being by yourself, why not go outside?" Muffet asked.
"Why not practice what you preach?" Perseverance uttered, slightly annoyed. Muffet sighed a bit.
"Fine, be stubborn," she said.
"Oh you're one to talk. You're the one who killed me when all I wanted to do was go home," Perseverance snapped at her, looking away from his book just to glare up at her.
"Ooooh the Glare, I'm sooooo scared," Muffet said, rolling her eyes. Perseverance sighed and returned to his book.
