DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING FROM UNDERTALE.

Chapter 2: Concern and love

After they all settled down and greeted each other, the group of friends went inside of the house and scattered into various rooms. Sans, Papyrus and Toriel were in the kitchen, where everyone could hear Papyrus yelling in rage at Sans and Toriels pun making as she cooked. Undyne and Alphys were with Frisk in the living room, talking about a number of things from anime to Alphys research on Souls and Magic. "W-Well I theorized that it is possible for the two to link together…H-Humans have never really been able to use magic so well and M-Monsters usually can't express one trait to its fullest p-potential." Frisk listened to her friend with a bright smile. Over the years Alphys had become more and more confident, though at times she still tripped over her words. "However, if one was to Share a soul with another, then it would be a totally different ball game…I-It would be amazing!" she exclaimed with glee while her girlfriend was busy looking at of the window, probably not wanting to hear to technical mumbo jumbo.

Asgore came in that moment with a smile. "It would be amazing…However it has never been done before…" He sighed and shook his head. "If only it was true…I could just maybe have saved my son…" He was talking about the first time Asriel was lost. Taking the first child, Chara, back to her home village once she had passed. He was killed by humans as they thought he had done the deed himself. Frisk nodded slightly. "I think…I would have liked him…" She smiled sadly at the kings' expression. He smiled and let out a chocked chuckle. "Oh you would have been such good friends…I have no doubt that." Frisk looked down at the floor and sighed. 'We already are good friends…' She thought sadly.

Soon it was time for their weekly get-together meal, sitting down at the table, they all said thanks to Toriel who blushed brightly at the praise, pulling a floppy ear around her face. "Oh please, it's nothing, now dig in!" She said brightly and they all started to fill their plates. The skeleton brothers consuming the food magically. Undyne savagely tearing into her food while Alphys nibbled at hers. Asgore ate proper but soon his plate emptied. Toriel slowly consumed her cooking with a soft smile. Frisk could barely eat with her mind going a thousand miles per second. Now that she thought about it, Chara had not bothered her ever since she left the underground. It made her think that perhaps the demonic Childs' soul was stuck in the underground forever more. Or perhaps it was tethered to something that wasn't her. She didn't realize that Toriel and Sans were staring at her with concerned gazes. The motherly instincts telling her that something was seriously wrong with Frisk while Sans understood the young woman more than anyone else. Soon the meal was done and everyone went to chatting to each other while Frisk excused herself.

Outside in the garden she looked around at the flowers that were planted varied very much. But the patch that caught her eye the most were the golden flowers. She expected to hear that high pitched "Howdy!" or the evil demonic laugh of the deranged flower. But nothing was heard. Just the breeze rushing through the trees, the leaves rustling. Frisk sighed and kneeled down to touch the petals of the flowers. The texture was soft to the touch and the scent was sweet. "Hey kiddo…" She looked up to see Sans standing next to her, his hands in his favorite blue hoodies pockets. "Hey Sans. What are you doing here?" She asked, already knowing the answer of course. She could practically sense his concern mounting the more time he spent looking at her. Sans chuckled a little and shook his head. "Thinkin' about doing some gardening…" Frisk scoffed and shook her head. "Your lazy Sans, you would forget to even water them." Sans rubbed the back of his boney neck and nodded. "Probably…Listen kid…Tori is getting really worried. I know all these memories aren't good to remember but throw her a bone…and no you can't use anything on me or pap." Frisk giggled lightly before standing and wrapping her arms around her. "Thanks…Dunkle, you really know how to make me feel better…" Sans awkwardly patted her back, still not used to hugs even after living with her for at least four years. "It's alright kid…now go back inside before Tori throws a goat fit…we all know what happened last time…" They both laughed nervously before heading inside. Frisk looked once more at the flowers. 'Asriel…I miss you'

As Sans and Frisk were talking, Toriel watched them through the window of the kitchen and sighed softly as she cleaned the dishes. She worried for the child sometimes but she knew Frisk had grown up to be a polite young woman with a strong will of her own. It didn't make it any less upsetting to see the child so…Down. She nearly jumped out of her fur when she felt two arms encircle her waist and Asgore placed his head on her shoulder. "You are easy to Scare my dear…" He chuckled deeply as Toriel glared at him lightly before letting out a long sigh and leaning into him. "I'm worried about her Asgore…She has been getting more and more destressed...Sans seems to understand, but when I ask him about it he merely tells me that she will be okay, just give her time…" Toriel closed her eyes and hummed in content at being in her lovers embrace. They had worked out a lot more than even the others had expected. All because of one night.

[ Four years ago]

Toriel had been living with Undyne and Alphys for a while now. Frisk had at this point started going over to her uncle and his brother more often. Hers and Asgores efforts of repairing what they had did not go well when they had first got out of the underground. Even after working in a school with Asgore helping with the gardening, they still gave each other the same look. One looked pleading while the other glared. It was a terrible cycle that kept going and going. Until one day, one particular night. Asgore received a call.

Undyne and Alphys were in the corner of their apartments living room shivering in fear and the intoxicated and furious woman that now terrorized them. Toriel had come home drunk. The first odd thing that they noticed was of course, Toriel had been drinking. She never usually only had a glass now and again. But now she was a complete and utter mess. Fur was bunched up and sticking out, her eyes were bloodshot and she had a drunken but very angry glare. "Yo Asgore! Your Ex is tearing up the place! C-Come give us a hand!"

It didn't take long for him to get there and when he did, he understood why even his former captain of the guard was frightened. Toriel stood in a tank top and jeans, a strange look for her but one Asgore certainly didn't complain about, however the way she looked herself was what was concerning. She turned to him with bared fangs. "What the fuck do you want King?!" She said mockingly and he flinched slightly at her harsh tone, swearing and mocking way she called him. He put his paws up in gesture to calm her down or at least try to make her feel less threatened. "Now Tori…No need to be swearing now…no need for raised voice…What is wrong?" He asked in his deep voice, laced in concern. Toriel scoffed and turned to him fully, her magic energy violently flowing in the air like a gust of wind. "So many *Hic!* things are wrong. Frisk is gone, she thought it would be best…Staying with Sans and Pap. My two children are *Hic* are dead! Along with the rest of them I tried to take care of!" She yelled angrily. Asgore frowned and shook his head "I know you are angry but…Frisk is becoming a big girl now…I-I know that our son wouldn't like to see you like this and Neither would Chara…" He mumbled softly to her. Toriel walked straight towards him and a crack could be heard as her paw slapped him. "I do not care about that! What-What makes me so mad! So angry! Is that you have the nerve to take away my happiness! I thought I found those kids and saved them…but they died because of your stupid anger!" She growled at him. Asgore felt his cheek which was actually bleeding, sighing as he looked at the floor. "You are right about one thing…my anger…clouded my vision…but I never intended to have them killed…only capture…" This made Toriel step back a moment and notice that he was shaking slightly. "I…I only wanted them to be brought to me…but everyone thought I meant slaughter them…No child ever…Ever got to me intact…Alive…Monsters came to me with their souls…" He looked up with tears. "I ONLY WANTED THEM ALIVE!"

After that outburst, Alphys had suggested that he sit down before he fell from the way he was swaying while Undyne lead the now silent but still drunken woman to her room. An hour past before they could all hear crying coming from Toriels room. "M-Maybe we s-should check on her…" She went to get up but the boss monster king got up and sighed, walking slowly to her room. The door opened allowing him to see his Ex-lover on her stomach, crying into a pillow. The male closed the door gently and took steady steps towards her. She gasped and sharply looked over at the person who had arrived and then looked down in shame. She had said some horrible things to him. After the outburst, Toriel thought a lot on the matter and realized something: Asgore had probably suffered more heart ache than her. His family had gone in one day and he had no one to turn to. All he could do was put on a smile for his people and go along with what he started. He had no one to support him. At least she had her pun friend as well as the Human children that came through.

Asgore sighed as he sat on the side of her bed and gave a small huff of a laugh. "Well…if there is one thing that hasn't changed it's that famous Tori anger…" He smiled. Toriel buried her head into the pillow and a soft mummer could be heard. "Shut up…" Asgore looked up to the ceiling. 'Finally…she says something softly…' He thought before speaking. "Tori…you…don't have to be afraid to look at me…" Slowly, her head moved away from the pillow to reveal her shimmering eyes, the king couldn't help but found her beautiful. "I-I'm…so sorry Fluffybun…I just…I couldn't even…" More tears fell down her cheek as she tried to talk. Asgore shook his head. "One…Why did you ever give me that name? Two, I forgive you…" He smiled softly as she sighed and slowly, her own smile started to form.

[Present]

Asgore chuckled and kissed her cheek. "She's a big girl now…I'm sure she appreciates you caring though…" Toriel smiled at the reassurance before turning in his embrace and grinned slightly, a look that made his cheeks warm up. "Well Mister Dreemurr…I wouldn't mind some caring from you…" She went straight for the kill and planted a kiss on his lips. The action made him tense up and then relax as his arms wrapped around her back. "I ship it!" A yell separated them and they spotted their 'shipping' admirer. Alphys and Undyne were peeking at them and grinned sheepishly. Frisk walked in with a smile and shook her head. "You two can't seem to keep your paws off each other…" The couple blushed and Asgore yelled in protest. "I-I am completely innocent! She initiated the lip lock!" Toriel gasped and crossed her arms. "I'll remember that for tonight Fluffybun." She said in a sing song voice. Asgore looked absolutely terrified. Frisk came up to Toriel and sighed. "Look…I know that you've been worried…but please, know that I am okay. I've just had a lot on my mind lately…" She wrapped her arms around the boss monsters' waist and smiled as she gave her a hug. Toriel smiled softly and hugged back. "Just so long as you know that we are all here for you." She whispered and kissed Frisks cheek. The woman nodded and the embrace was added to by the rest of the group of friends.
