Ch12- Gardening, snooping and lore dropping

3 days earlier

I walk down the tarmac, my pink backpacks straps hanging loosely. My trainers make that satisfying scratch noise as they brush against the floor. As I walk I adjust my glasses frames and my new golden bell earrings, I'd brought them yesterday and my mom had commented "well these won't get annoying quickly,". Personally I love the jingle they give off as I walk, bells aren't just a Christmas thing and even if you think they are then just think of them as a reminder of the fun times. And you know...the idea of annoying people with them is pretty funny.

Eventually I make it to Frisk's house and impatiently wait by the street sign, swapping my weight from foot to foot and unnecessarily readjusting my glasses. I check my watch: 7:51

Yeeeeeeeah we're definitely gonna be late for school.

I'm so disappointed.

Maybe I should just...go knock the door and check.

I walk down the path cutting through Frisks yard. Huh I've never actually stopped to see the flowers properly before.

There's a lot. Like a lot a lot.

I mean I guess Frisk did say Asgore had gifted Toriel some seeds, she didn't really want to plant them for some reason but Frisk eventually convinced her to. There's Roses, Tulips, Dahlias, Hibiscus, Carnations, Marigolds. In a word... loads. I almost pick one but decide against it, it would probably be pretty disrespectful.

But as I look I see one that's sort of... out of place. For all the other flowers they are in groups but there's a single small yellow flower. While the rest are in groups this one is just sat on its own and as I said, a lot smaller than the others. It's sort of buried behind the others, probably not getting enough sunlight either, considering it's mostly in the shadows. But there's something kind of beautiful within its simplicity.

"Poor little guy," I mumble.

Maybe I could just move it... Frisk and Toriel seem occupied enough, and it's not like I'm taking it...just...relocating it. Yeah. Just relocating.

I give a final glance at the door to make sure that Toriel's inside and use my hands to remove some dirt creating a hole that's a bit further forwards from the flowers current position. I carefully scoop the flower up and put it in there, before re flattening the soil, removing any evidence of it being unsettled.

I rub my hands together to remove the excess soil. There's still excess soil but it's good enough. I notice that the flower has a few fallen petals around it. I'm preeeety sure they were there before I moved it. None are obviously missing off of the actual flower anyway.

I could... take a petal instead and flower press it, that could make a pretty cool key chain if I put it in resin...Yeah there are probably more interesting petals from the the other flowers but... this one just feels like it has more meaning behind it somehow. I quickly pocket the petal before walking over to Frisks door but it's already slightly opened, Frisk and Toriel seem pretty occupied in their conversation.

Okay so what do i do?

I have two options:

A)Be respectful and mind my own business

B)Eavesdrop

...And I'm pretty sure you can guess which one I took.

I hear two voices...Frisk and Toriel.

"...fine! it's...it's about Flowey..."

Wait...isn't he meant to be dead? It could be that they're having nightmares but... why would someone bring them up like this after 4 years? I slip into the house and hide behind one of the walls.
