~No One's Pov~
The stars and bad sans have always had differences but there was a member who never really cared for the fighting and never really liked it. Swap only helped the stars because he wanted to feel like a hero, and help other people. He still had a home and life outside of fighting, and he was happy with that home, but the fighting was getting on his nerves. Despite it bothering him he still tried, not only because he wanted to help Dream but because he wanted to see if he could maybe change someone he's supposed to hate.
As much as Swap wanted to feel like a hero, he knew that he wasn't as strong or powerful as Dream or Ink, but he still tried, he was always trying and that's all that mattered right? Just try. No matter how tired you are, keep going, don't stop.
He was in his own au, training, he didn't know how long he was working but it didn't matter, he wanted to work. Alphys would normally admire the work he was putting it, but she was starting to get concerned, not only had Swap been training but he also helped Undyne a few hours before showing up.
"Look Swap, I love the effort, but go take a break." Swap focused on Alphy's confused and tired.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean take a break, for the rest of the day. Go take a walk or something."
"Why? I've only been here for-" He looked at the time, realising he's been there for four hours. He also started to focus on himself, realising he was sweating and running out of breath.
"I'll go, thanks for letting me work for a while." Alphy nodded and began to clean up, while Swap changed quickly, grabbed his umbrella and went outside.
He teleported throughout a few au's looking for a quiet place for him to walk, he normally did this after training, it reminded him of his schedule in the underground, plus he enjoyed it, especially when it was raining.
He got lucky and found an au where it was night so it was peaceful, and raining. It was just what he needed!
Swap was walking around for a while when he heard something, he looked around trying to figure out what it was when he saw a figure not too far behind him, it was another monster, trying to avoid the rain by hiding under the buildings.
"Who's there? Are you following me?" A deep chuckle was heard, before the figure came closer to the light, using his hand to shield the rain, while his other hand was holding an axe, one covered in blood. Swap knew exactly who it was and wasn't scared of the blood, he's seen it all before.
"Not gonna lie I didn't realise it was you, what are you doing here?" It took a second before he responded, he didn't exactly know where he was all that he wanted was to walk, not fight. But he did see Horror twist his axe around, signalling he was impatient.
"I was just walking, I'm not here to start anything." He turned around and started to walk away, not bothering to worry about being attacked. Horror had already killed someone, he was likely tired, and Swap wasn't energetic either.
Horror was gonna attack him but decided against it, leaning against the wall of the building he was near, it sheltered him from the rain slightly. He hated the rain, it got in his skull, it was cold, and it got him wet, it was the worst. He looked ahead of him, at Swap, he was a smaller skeleton, despite being small Horror thought he was strong and always putting in high effort, but he was also peaceful, he was mesmerised by him, and Horror never knew why.
Swap stood in place for a moment before looking behind him, he saw Horror still there, it confused him, why didn't he walk away, attack or teleport away? Horror looked away from the skeleton, crossing his arms. Swap walked back to Horror, placing the umbrella over them both.
"What are you doing?"
"You don't seem comfortable in the rain, thought this would help." As much as he didn't want to admit it it was helpful, the rain wasn't in Horror's skull anymore, and it was calming.
The two stood there for a little bit, the rain not seeming to stop, they were quiet at first but at some point Swap started a conversation and they started talking, it was nice, not fighting each other.
"Why don't you like the rain?"
"Why would I like it? It's cold, wet and... Nevermind." Swap looked at Horror, trying to make eye contact.
"And what? Tell me I'm curious now!" Horror looked away, he didn't want to admit that the rain hurt his skull.
"Fine, don't tell me, but I love the rain. It's so calming and pretty. I didn't see it until.. Y'know leaving the underground. I'm sorry I- forgot."
"Don't worry about it." It was silent for a moment, Horror's au was never freed, it was just the monsters that were still alive and him. Swap was lucky and he knew that.
"I don't like the rain 'cause it gets in my skull." Horror blushed slightly while looking away, embarrassed. Swap jumped slightly before looking at Horror smiling.
"Really? That sounds so annoying but, no offence, hilarious!" Swap started laughing, making Horror hold the umbrella.
"Fuck off, I don't need you to laugh."
"I'm sorry, sorry, it's just funny." He let go of the umbrella, handing it to Horror completely.
"I have to go now, keep it. Just in case it rains again, I don't want your skull to get all wet and then you're sick." He then teleported back to his home, in his au. Leaving Horror there, with the umbrella blushing, not because he was embarrassed but because he had taken a liking to Swap.
Swap went home that night and thought about what had happened today, he hoped that he would see Horror again and not for a fight but for another talk, to see Horror.
