How to Fix the Broken

Chapter 54: Lies Untold

Dust watched his Husband pace around the room. His other Husband was trying to comfort the other.

Dust didn't understand what was going on. What had the human meant by that? They had something? And why had Horror reacted that way?

What was H hiding?

Dust tilted his head down, letting his hood shadow his face. He stood there, unmoving and waiting for Killer to stop freaking out.

"Mr. Dust?" Aliza beat the others to it. "Is something wrong...?"

"No human." Dust said. Horror and Killer looked at him, Killer with slight worry on his face when he saw he couldn't see Dust own, and Horror... Horror grimaced. Why had he grimaced?

"Horror. What aren't you telling us?" Dust's voice sounded slightly disappointed.

"Yes, why don't you tell your friends what happened between you and I?" Frisk stood in the doorway, a malicious grin on her face.

Horror's face filled with turmoil. What was he hiding.

Horror couldn't hide it anymore could he? He felt his sockets brim with tears as his hand picked at the hole in his head.

"I- I uh-" he felt the sharp tips of his distals get coated with a liquid but he refused to look at them, unable to stop picking at it.

"Tell them Sansy~ they all seem to have had horrible experiences with their human, why don't you tell them that yours was good, unlike the story's of DustTale and Something New hmm?" Frisk taunted him, her smile widened.

"I uh... mmm" he made a low whine in the back of his throat. Aliza stood up from the bed where she had been sitting, stepping between Horror and Frisk.

"Stop. You are making Sans uncomfortable Frisk." She glared at her with her left eye flashing. Only for a moment.

Gold to blue

Only for a second but Killer gasped. "Her eye!" He looked at Dust, "You saw that right!?" Dust nodded, that shadow going away.

Aliza had a bead of sweat on her forehead, "W-what are you talking about?" She stammered, looking guilty.

"Horror, why does her eye do that!?" Killer asked in confusion.

A familiar head popped into the room. His crooked teeth in a forced smile as he tried to see why there was yelling.

"Human, what are you... oh..." Paprika's eye lights landed on Horror a flash of Happiness before it was toned down from years of 'training' from Queen Undyne. "Hello Brother!" He said cheerfully, before he turned on Frisk, his smile subtly shifting into a growl. "Leave him alone Bitch."

Horror was taken aback by Paprika's outright hatred for Frisk. "Dang Paps. You don't have to call her that..." he rubbed the back of his neck self consciously.

"I can and will call her what I want." He growled, "she left us here. She left you here."

"..." Dust and Killer looked at Horror, Aliza's eyes forgotten. "H will you just tell us what is going on... Please?" Killer asked softly.

"... Frisk didn't leave when she got to Asgore. Instead, she stayed in the underground, for years. ... I was 18 when she dropped. She herself was 15. Paps was 16." Horror sat on the bed, a look of sadness drifting his face.

Story time.

Great.

Frisk grinned, leaning on the frame while Paprika glared at her. Dust rocked Insanity slightly before sitting down on the floor.

Killer sat with him and Aliza sat not to far from them.

"She spent years in the underground... and eventually she was 18. ..."

Frisk smiled and walked away. Paprika glared at her as she left and she only sneered at him, golden eyes flashing red.

"No resets?" Killer asked.

Horror shrugged. "I don't actually know. There might've been, an I never knew. All I know is the last timeline if there were others."

"Wait, you can't remember resets?" Dust murmured.

"I don't know, as far as I know, I have never experienced an actual reset."

Aliza watched them carefully, she probably had no clue what they were talking about.

"... Frisk, well... when she turned 18 she instantly came up to me and well..." his face flushed a purplish red, and he avoided eye contact with Dust and Killer. "She kissed me, and... well... we were together for a year... till she wanted more." he shivered. "She left after she found out she was pregnant. I caught up to her before she passed the barrier, she told me the truth. I called out to her but she didn't look back." Horror finished up the story a bit hurriedly, feeling shameful he hid this from his lovers.

Aliza suddenly stood up looking at Horror. "... Sans, what happened to the child?" She looked at him almost pleadingly, Flowey trying to muzzle her comfortingly.

Horror avoided eye contact with her till he couldn't help it, his eyes darted to her and away quickly and he grimaced.

"Were you ever going to tell me...?" She whispered.

Horror finally looked at her, how her skin was the same gentle earthy brown as her mother, how her hair was light and fluffy, held up by the green bow, how her golden eyes blinked, one flickering blue slightly, how he could see her bones if the lighting was just right. "No."

She gave a breathy chuckle, "why!?"

"..." he thought of each time he had wanted to tell her, how low her self esteem was, how shy she was, how he didn't want to push her esteem down more, and how many times he then decided not to and pretended to try an kill her. "... I don't know. I thought if you knew... if anyone knew really... that you would be seen as an abomination. I was scared. The underground is dangerous enough, I didn't want them actively hunting you specifically. My job was to protect the humans that fall, I protected Frisk, I Protected you. And part of that protection was to hide the truth and everyone."

Horror stood, ignoring the blood that trickled down the side of his head and pulled his hood up. The fluff surrounding his head blocked the voices around him and he left the room, heading down the hall, down the stairs and into the exit halls of the ruins. He had a bad feeling now but ignored it as he kicked a random purple rock slightly.
