For You, I Live

Ch.31 The Grill and Packing Up

  Geno was the first to wake. He yawned and carefully untangled himself from Reaper. I crawled out of Blue's hold and quietly headed to Geno. I stood in front of Geno as he sat up. "Hey kiddo, you want to come with me to go get some food for everyone?" Geno whispered to me. I nod my head and straighten out my cloths. No one changed, so we all slept in our cloths from yesterday.

  Geno stood up and held out his hand. I grabbed on. One moment everything is dark, the next we were in front of a worn down building. I looked up to the sign to see it said "The Grill". Geno lead me inside. The moment we stepped in I notice how much warmer it was in there. A few people peppered the place, but it was relatively quiet and empty. That's right, Reaper said that evacuation had already started. We walk over to the bar where an orange and yellow fire monster stood cleaning glasses. They looked up and spoke in a quiet voice that sounded like fire wood crackling. "How can I help you Geno, and who may the little one be?" They asked.

  "I wanted to order seven burgers, nine cheesy fries, and four chocolate shakes to-go. The kiddo would my little Catcher." Geno said. I waved to the fire monster shyly.

  "Congratulations Geno and lovely to meet you Catcher. I'll be sure to bring your order out in a moment." The fire monster said, and headed through a doorway with a fire exit sign on top.

  *Yawn* "Why is the place still open if everyone is supposed to be evacuating?" I asked, rubbing my eyesocket. I'm tired after going around all of yesterday, staying up, and still recovering from my injuries. But, I didn't want to go to sleep and have to worry about a certain someone in my dreamscape.

  "The Grill was the first building to be made in the Omega Timeline and has alot of history and meaning to its residence. The Grillby that works here is also a bit stubborn when he wants to be, so I figured if anywhere would still be open it's this place. I was sure he would want to be open until he had no other choice but to leave." Geno explained to me. I nodded in understanding.

  The fire monster came back through the doorway with a couple of bags of food. I realized I was very hungry. I refrained myself from starting to drool from the smell. He handed the bags over to Geno. "Thank you sir." I told him.

  "Just Grill is fine. Good luck." Grill told us.

  "Don't we need to pay?" Geno asked. Grill shook their head.

  "On the house. Just take care of yourselves." He said, waving. We waved back and walked out.

  "Hold on Catcher." Geno said, as I grabbed him. We shortcut back to the room.

  I could hear strange whispering and thought I saw something white for a moment, before we were back. I shook my head. I noticed Reaper, Blue, and Chara were awake. Geno held up the food as they looked towards us. "Sweet!" Reaper exclaimed. That woke up everyone else.

  "The fuck!" Flowey cried. Frisk sat up, rubbing their eyes.

  "Language young man." Life said groggily.

  "Got food for everyone, so come get a burger and fries. We can pack everything up after, then head to the evacuations site." Geno said.

  Geno passed out the food and fries to everyone. I saw the extra fries were for Flowey and the bitties. Fresh told me that his Ferbies don't eat regular or monster food. I didn't question what they would eat instead. I was likely better off not knowing. I ate my food and attempted to not moan at how good it was. I hadn't had a burger and fries since before I died. I was always a bit of a burger snob, so I wouldn't eat them from just anywhere. Grill's burgers were one of the best, if not the best, I'd ever had. "Make sure you take your medicine Catcher." Life said. I nod, my mouth full.

  "So, What Have The Other Reapertale Residents Decided Life?" Blue asked. Life clears her throat.

  "Well.... from what I last heard from Asgore, they were worried about upsetting the balance of any multiverse we settled in. I already told them that I refused to be separated from you all, and that the children would be coming with me. I understand that I put Asgore in a tight spot, but I won't be swayed. If Reaper and I separated it would likely cause a large shift in the balance of any multiverse either of us ended up in. We are main balance holders and our presence would have a larger impact than the other gods. Even still, I wouldn't want to be separated from my friends and family." Life explained.

  "You still haven't forgiven him have you?" Geno asked, but meant it as statement.

  "While I will be forever grateful for Reaper's friendship, the relationship between Asgore and I can't be repaired. To much happened for us to make amends and our soulbond is already broken. I simply want to move on." Life said.

  "I thought that soulmates couldn't break their bond without dieing." Frisk said.

  "Asgore and I were never true soulmates. We simply bonded a while after our relationship turned romantic. While some of the gods were soulmates with eachother or mortals, I am the origin of souls in our multiverse. Only a small handful of souls are not connected to me. Most of which are other balance holders and gods. None of the souls connected to me can be my soulmate, and the others left aren't either. I accepted I wouldn't have a true soulmate a long time ago." Life explained.

  "That sounds sad. You shouldn't give up. Maybe you can still meet them when we leave the multiverse. We're going somewhere with souls you haven't created, so you might meet someone that your soul would resonate with." I told her. Life seemed to purk up.

  "Ya, soulmate resonance is strange. Like the fact that alot of Sans resonate with an alternative. It was real headache inducing for all of us in the beginning. Literally being soulmates to a version of yourself." Geno said. Reaper floats over to Geno.

  "But you wouldn't have it any other way." Reaper told him, laying over his shoulders. Geno sighs, but smiles.

  Everyone finished their food and gathered almost everything they bought in piles around the room. We separated the personal items, equipment, and cloths in our own individual sections and started to divide books, hygiene items, and food between us. Geno started to show me how to use the special phone with its expanded inventory. Apparently the thing could survive blaster shots or falling off a skyscraper. It had the two inventories, but they were directly in the phone rather than tied to another location and larger. The phone had the ability to look at code and tell you the name of the Au, copy number, timeline, and the multiverse. It also gave a map of the world with key landmarks. It could connect to the internet and call people no matter the universe. There were a few apps connected to the multi-net too including some social media, gaming, and music. Geno and Reaper also transfers me a butt load of G, so I would have money just in case I needed it. Apparently, the gold from people Reaper reaps goes to him, so he's flipping rich! After I finished setting it up and adding everyone to my contacts, I immediately started to build a playlist of songs. What? I know my priorities.

  We eventually finished organizing everything and started packing it all up in totes, bins and backpacks I thought to pick up. It would be easier to have it all packed up instead of just putting random items in our inventory individually to save space. Life and I probably ended up with the most stuff, with having an additional canning set, large sewing kit, soapmaking set, gardening tools, candle making set, knitting/crocheting supplies, and cooking set. We also split the rolls of material between the two of us and placed them in longer bins to fit. That's not including the books that we got for them. Those also went into a bin with the other books everyone got a copy of.  We also got a fully stocked trauma bag with medical supplies each, since we were the only ones that were healers. I also picked out a couple books with recipes for healing items like candy and food, since I only knew the basics.

  Once we were finally done and everything was put away in our inventories, we sat around for a little bit to rest. I yawned and rubbed my eyesockets sleepily. Blue sat up and clapped his hands. "Alright! We Should Go To The Lobby To See Asgore For His Final Decision. After We Find That Out, We Can Head To The Evacuations Site." Blue said.

  "How do you know he's in the lobby?" Chara asked. For a moment I saw Blue's eyesockets glitch, before it disappeared.

  "I Have My Way. LET'S GO!" Blue exclaimed, heading toward the door. Everyone got up and followed after him. I wonder how this is going to go.
