Life kinda sucks, But you make it better. | {Gaster X Grillby}

|The Barrier {Pt. 2}|

{More angst coming your way-

TW: P/lls}

{At work}

I walk into my office and begin my work on the computer, writing down notes, and testing some different strategies on how to break the Barrier.

{2 Hours later}

I get up to go fill my cup with coffee for the hundredth time. 'Ugh... I still feel awful... I shouldn't have gotten Dr/nk last night...' I sigh, 'and I shouldn't have yelled at Sans and Papyrus...'

"U-uhh, D-Dr.Gaster? are y-you f-feeling ok?" I hear Alphy's say behind me, making me turn around at the startle, "O-oh! S-sorry! I didn't mean to s-startle you!" She apologizes, "oh! Hello Dr. Alphys N-no, it's ok." I respond to her stutters, I sigh catching my breath. "What is it you asked again?" I ask her, "oh, uhh. A-are you feeling o-ok? y-you, look a little shaken..." She says, "O-oh, no it's nothing... just a little tired, that's all!" I say to her, Faking yet another smile...

I truly hate lying to people... but it's just as hard, to tell the truth.

"Ok... I-if you say so..." She responds, shuffling back to her workspace. There weren't many people working here at the CORE since Asgore only chose people who he knew would make good progress and only people that he trusted. I only knew of Me, Sans, Alphys, and a couple of other monsters that I didn't know.

I hear the coffee machine make a noise, signaling that it's ready. I take the pot and pour out some coffee into my mug. While looking for the chocolate sauce (His normal coffee is a Hot Mocha) I spot a bottle of p/lls... I stare at them a while, before picking them up and reading the label. 'Happy P/lls' ...... I check the expiration date, 'well... it's not out of date... and it doesn't look like it's been opened... and I don't know anyone else who would use it... I guess...' I pause. 'no... I better not...' and set them back on the shelf, still holding it.... 'But-...' I lift my head to look at it again 'maybe....'

"Don't you dare!...."

My eyes widen, I pick up the bottle again and look at the effects...

'Get's rid of those voices in your head' (My brain is dead- lol)

I look at the bottle, look around me to see if anyone was there. I Sigh and open the bottle

"Don't you DARE you F/ggot!"

"Gaster you B/tch, don't you F/cking dare!"

"Gaster! please! for once listen to them! what your about to do isn't safe! You could really hurt yourself doing this!"

'I'll take my chances...' I say to them as I pop the pill in my mouth and take a sip of my coffee

"Gaster... Sans, Papyrus, Grillby, Fuku, Asgore, and everyone else... Once they find out... their gonna be-"

'Just shut up... I'm done with all of you...'

I hear the voices sigh in the back of my head, and I go back to work...

{Sans POV}

My eyes are wide with shock 'h-he... took it?!'

"S-sans... i-i'm not s-sure that th-this was a g-good idea..." Alphys says from behind me, I ignore her and watch as dad goes back into his office. "Wh-what were those p/lls a-anyway?" She asks, I sigh "They were real anti-depressants... I guess that was good..." I say, 'Is that why he got dr/nk?...' i ask myself, guiding my eyes to the floor. "S-sans?" Alphys says, putting her hand on my back, "H-huh?" I noise, turning my head to look at her. "a-are you going to be ok?..." She asks, "O-oh, uhh... i-i'm... not sure..." I pause and she looks at me with worry in her eyes, "Oh, and uh- thanks for h-helping me with that..." I say, she nods a 'Your welcome' and sighs. "I'll... s-see you l-later, Sans..." She says and shuffles off to her office "Yeah.. see ya..." I mumble. I was still in shock.

{1 and a half hours later} (sorry for all the time skips lol)

{Gaster POV}

I sat at my desk working on the CORE, then...

"HOLY SH/T!!!! I THINK I GOT IT!!!" I look over my plans frantically, "D-Dr.Gaster?! W-whats wrong?!" Alphys says rushing into my office "Oh! nothing! I have an idea..." I say dangerously, gathering up my work, Alphys looking at me confused. I rush over to the throne room where Asgore usually is.

{After telling Asgore his plan because I'm lazy- TwT}

"You're sure this is 100% safe Dr.Gaster?" He asks for the one-hundredth time, "I don't know... That's why I need to try it out... If it doesn't work, the human SOULS will not disappear, and nothing will have changed..." I pause "And if it does work.... then we'll be free!" I say, turning to him with a smile on my face. He sighs "Fine... Let's do it."

{uwu yey, another down!

anyway- I hope you all have a good day/night!
