No Chocolate - Chara X Frisk

Heartache (6)

Frisk and I were surprised, but we decided to follow Asriel back to our home. We didn't hold hands, which kinda make me upset, but I guess we were both uncomfortable being so close in front of Asriel, especially me.

Asriel was, and is, one of my closest friends down here. He's the one who found me after all, just like he found Frisk. If I remember it right, he and I would spend entire days together - he even had a camera with which he would record the two of us hanging out. I don't know why he would always want to capture my creepy face, but okay.

We were really close, but I never was that attached to him in the first place. It was just my sheer imagination doing its own thing. After killing him so many times, in his flower form and in his normal form, I just lost any kind of empathy I had for him if I even liked him as a person. He was just the right person at the right time, but now all of that has ended...

The three of us were going through underground corridors and corridors. Why are there even so many catacombs in the first place? I don't even want to imagine what happened down here.

We were going back home via shortcuts that connect almost the entire Underground. It's a really useful thing that can only be accessed by the royalty or anyone affiliated with it, and I know where the keys are and how to enter. I always used this to my own advantage.

The entire time we were walking, Frisk seemed to be a little bit nervous as she was looking at the ground the entire time. Did I mention that we didn't even say a word to each other since Asriel told us to follow him? Even I, who can't feel emotions, felt uncomfortable. I guess that's why the time is passing by so slowly because I just can't wait to get out of this very uncomfortable moment, but maybe I should say something to Frisk to make her at least a little bit better.

"How are you feeling? Are you excited to have a dinner with us?" I asked Frisk while looking at her while glancing at Asriel to see how he would react.

"Oh! Yes, I can't wait to have a proper dinner with the entire... family." She seemed to be surprised that I even asked her this. But I'm glad I put a light smile on her pretty face.

"Yep, you'll even meet Asgore, who I haven't seen for such a long time." I said without thinking.

"Ehm... Chara, you literally see dad every day, you don't have to call him by his full name too." Asriel had to jump into our conversation and make a remark, and that's when I realized what I said, but I'm glad he doesn't understand.

"Oh yeah, right. I think I just have a bad memory." I tried to laugh it off, but Frisk was confused, and Asriel was even more than her.

"I think you need some rest Chara..." Frisk said worryingly.

"Oh yeah, don't worry. I think I slept bad last night." I said to comfort her.

"Chara... Are you kidding with me? You literally fainted hours before Frisk dropped to the Underground, I think you need to go to the doctor." Asriel had to add some of his stupid nonsense again to my and Frisk's conversation.

"What? You didn't tell me that you didn't feel so good! If I knew that, we would've went home earlier 100%." Frisk was now even more worried, which kinda started to go on my nerves, but I also found it very heartwarming.

"It's not anything serious, Frisk, don't worry at all!" I put my hand on her shoulder as we were walking down the long corridors, and I genuinely smiled to show her how everything was okay.

"Do you really mean it? Is there a doctor in the Underground?" Frisk looked at me with her dark brown eyes and a worried facial expression. "Will you go to the doctor for me?" she added and made my heart melt - I love how she's so careful and gentle towards me.

"Of course Frisk, I definitely would. But, believe me. I've been through worse, and look how I turned out!" I think this will make her feel much better.

"WHAT??? What do you mean you've been through worse?" Frisk raised her voice at me.

"Yeah Chara, what are you talking about? Literally all you do is eat late and sleep till noon..." Asriel had to be EVEN MORE ANNOYING.

"Shut up Asriel, that isn't even true!" I now came forward next to Asriel to scare him off, and the verbal fight just got bigger. He can't just ashame me like that in front of Frisk.

"Oh yeah? You don't have to act so different in front of your new human friend." He started raising his voice while looking directly at my eyes - he was furious.

"I don't act different, I just treat everyone by how they deserve it!" I refuted his claims.

"Aha, aha. I definitely deserve everything that happened today. Did you really forget about you and me, Chara?" He was starting to get really serious, and I was in an uncomfortable situation where I couldn't do anything, especially not in front of Frisk. Jeez, I wonder what she'll think of me after this!

"What do you mean by you and me? We were never nothing more than FRIENDS." I tried to act like I understood something else.

"Oh so you were thinking about it in that way? Let me tell you what I think about YOU..." And then, an even bigger fight broke out, and Our two loud, childish voices echoed the whole corridors. The worst thing about this heated conversation was that Frisk was standing right behind us, feeling who knows how and why. So after a couple of minutes of pointless yelling at each other, I decided to take matters into my own hands because I was getting more frustrated that Frisk was having to go through all of this, especially knowing that she fell down here less than 24 hours ago. I just don't want to imagine how she felt before deciding to fall down and waking up again to discover she didn't die.

"Just... Shut the fuck up because a human literally fell down a mountain for who knows what reason, and you're here whining about your own feelings? You can't even respect a guest that's going to come to your house - not everything is so centered about you, Asriel. Yes, you're the prince of the underground, oooo, but you're no different than the froggit from the RUINS, or the stupid skeletons living in Snowdin. Respect Frisk, and stop whining about your stupid problems, when she's lost everything she ever had. You'll never know how it feels to truly be alone, and just enjoy all of your PRINCE privileges that you always had, since you were born." I never cursed at Asriel, and I really don't know what made me say all of these things. So many emotions have built up in me over the years that I can't just suppress them anymore like I used to. I just don't want Frisk to end up like with me - it's not like I made her life worse each and every time I would step right into her body. I just don't want anyone to suffer anymore, especially her, and I never spoke so directly to Asriel. This was a very unusual thing for me to do, and he was definitely surprised by my response...

Writer's Notes

Suppressing emotions is never a good thing. If No Chocolate seems poorly written or like a bad plot point, then you'll have to wait for later chapters to see why and how everything is happening. Each and every sentence/emotion has a meaning and shouldn't be and will not be overlooked. 

But anyways, thank you for reading, my dear reader. I hope you'll enjoy the next chapter as well!
