"So, I hate to lower the mood, but the funeral starts at 14:00, right ?" Frisk asked as Y/N looked at his right, Frisk had a somewhat sad expression on her face. "Yeah, you're welcome to come with my dad and me." Y/N said, looking ahead of him. "Thanks, but we're coming with our parents." Frisk said, sighing a bit. "Makes sense." Y/N commented as he looked at the sky, it felt closed on itself.

"Sorry, I can't stop to think it, but Y/N, how are you so calm ?" Frisk said, stopping as Y/N and Chara looked at her. "I barely knew her, but each time I think of her, I feel like I could drown in my own tears." Frisk said, as she started to cry a bit. "I lost a friend, and that makes me incredibly sad. And you, you lost your sister, and it doesn't bother you one bit !" Frisk yelled, making Y/N surprised as Chara gasped.

"Frisk, you can't say that !" Chara yelled back, but Y/N decided to let out a frustrated growl, making the two girls look at him. "You don't know how much I want to grieve her death properly." Y/N said lowly, but the two girls managed to hear his words. "W-What do you mean ?" Frisk stuttered, surprised at her turn. "..." Y/N stayed silent, he couldn't dare say his own problems, as the both of them already got theirs.

"I take it on myself. I know she isn't part of our world anymore. But I can't let myself cry, because she wouldn't want those tears." Y/N looked at the ground, he could feel the voice coming back, he felt the bloodlust it made him feel. "I want to honor her life, I want to be the brother she always had." Y/N said, his voice becoming spiteful while he said those words.

"Y/N, she wouldn't mind you crying for her." Chara said, her voice was soft and reassuring. But that voice managed to make her voice lower that its whispers. "You can be vulnerable, it's hard for us, but it's even harder for you." Frisk said, her voice managed to hit a nerve in Y/N. "I fucking can't ! Is that too hard to understand that I can't cry ?!" Y/N yelled, marking the first time he snapped willingly at the sisters.

The sisters couldn't think of words for him, they looked at each other, finally understanding that Y/N was, indeed, more scarred that they could even think off. They didn't know why Y/N said that he couldn't cry, but they didn't care. "Then, don't cry." Chara said. He looked up to see Chara, smiling at him as she tilted her head to her left a bit. "If you can't, don't force yourself. You're grieving her differently than us, but it is still grieving." Chara said, taking his two hands with her hands.

Y/N stayed silent, not because he didn't know what to say, but because he didn't want to tell them. He still couldn't say that all of that, was because of his soul, acting like a poison for his mind. Lily's death was something that Y/N didn't want to run away from, but his soul forced him to flee and make him avenge her death with three more deaths.

"To each their own way to manage their feelings. We can't judge you for doing it the way you want." Chara followed, making Y/N look at her sister, then to her. "Thanks." Y/N only said, he managed to force his lock to be still on as Frisk looked at him. "I-I'm sorry, I didn't want to." Frisk said, crying a bit. 

"It's alright, as Chara said, to each their own way, right ?" Y/N said, slowly approaching Frisk. "Yeah, but I yelled at you. I y-yelled mean things." Frisk said, sniffling, but Y/N didn't care as he hugged her when he was close. "I understand, and I don't care. I know you truly didn't mean it." Y/N said, chuckling a bit. "I feel like I'm comforting Lily, for some reasons." Y/N said, smiling sadly as he ended the hug. "We're cool, Frisk. Maybe don't yell next time. Others might hear." Y/N said, smiling a bit more happily at Frisk. "S-Sure." Frisk said, wiping her tears as they started to walk again. 

"Yo, how's the group ?" Daniel asked, greeting his three friends. "Good." Y/N only said, making Daniel nod. "We're also good, but I do feel like wasting time." Frisk said, making everyone nod. "Maybe we shouldn't go to school, we're already excused." Y/N said, stating his point. "Maybe we should just walk around the town, maybe eat somewhere before splitting up." Daniel proposed his idea. "That sure is a good idea." Chara said, nodding as she linked her left hand with Y/N's right. "I do feel bad though. Is it truly alright using that as an excuse to skip school ?" Frisk asked, looking at Y/N. "It does sounds douchey, but I never said I'm an angel." Y/N said, as he eyed the road opposite to the school.

"Well, let's take off, let's grab something from the convenience store on the way." Daniel said, making the group walk towards the said-store. "At least we have our bags to store the things we'll buy." Y/N said, happy that his bag was always almost empty. "Same, for once our bags will have meaning." Daniel said proudly, making Y/N chuckle. "You both have nothing in your bags ?" Frisk asked, to which the boys opened their bags in front of the sisters. "No wonder you both launch your bags in the air." Chara said, remembering the boys doing that when they sat on a bench. "That's a competition between us." Y/N said, making Daniel chuckle. "No wonder your grades aren't the best." Frisk said, smirking at Daniel. "We both have passing grades, so it doesn't matter." Daniel said, shrugging.

"How ?" Frisk asked, almost dumbfounded. "We're just that smart." Y/N said, putting his free hand on his head. "I never said the opposite. But even I have some trouble." Frisk said, making the other three chuckle. "That sounds like a 'you' problem then." Chara said, making Frisk pout and lightly hit her. "At least I got the best grades here !" Frisk said loudly, as they reached the store. "At least our bags are as light as a feather." Y/N said, entering the store.

"Damn right." Daniel said, smiling. "I'll be going this way." He said, pointing to the chips aisle. "I'll follow you." Frisk said, smiling as she walked with Daniel. "Let's get our things then." Y/N said as Chara nodded. "I wanted to ask if you know what you'll buy." Chara asked, making Y/N look at her. "Then, ask me." Y/N said, already having his response ready. "What will you buy ?" Chara asked, but her voice seemed like she already knew the answer. "Don't know." Y/N said, proudly. "I feel like you're proud of being a dumbass." Chara said, chuckling. "I prefer 'free-spirited', but yeah." Y/N said, smiling as they walked into the sweets aisle.

Y/N looked at the candies and chocolate snacks, but nothing hit his cravings. "Why'd you say that you felt like recomforting Lily ?" Chara asked out of nowhere, but her voice sounded like she didn't really want to ask that. "Sorry, I didn't mean to ask you that after that episode." Chara apologized, making Y/N chuckle lightly. "That's alright." Y/N said, patting Chara's head a bit before answering. "Because Lily and Frisk are similar in some ways. When she asked that, it made me think of Lily, asking me why I wasn't angry towards our mother." Y/N said while looking through the items. "You did say that before, now that I think of it." Chara said, taking two dark chocolate bars. "Yeah, maybe that's why I wanted to recomfort her right away." Y/N said, his eyes meeting a bag with chocolate chips with caramel inside. "Those are the ones." Y/N said, taking three bags. "Will it be enough ?" Chara said sarcastically, but Y/N shook his head. "Not at all, but I don't want to go overkill." Y/N said, making Chara chuckle. "Don't want to go overkill ? You already are, honey." Chara said, making Y/N smile. He liked those banters, and those names she called him. "Trust me, darling, I could eat ten of these." Y/N said, smiling at Chara as they walked towards the drink's fridges.

Y/N instantly picked a peach-flavored bottle as Chara took a chocolate milk bottle. "Going overkill on the chocolate, aren't you ?" Y/N said, smiling at his girlfriend. "Never too much chocolate." Chara said, smiling brightly. Y/N found that smile impossible to resist. "You're too cute with that smile." Y/N said thoughtlessly, making Chara blush as his words were a surprise. "Flirting even in a store, huh ?" Chara said, looking away a bit. "If saying the truth is flirting, then I'm always flirting with you." Y/N said, kissing her head. Chara couldn't respond with words, but she answered with a kiss on his lips. "Stop making me fall deeper for you." Chara said, making Y/N blush a bit. She wasn't shy about her feelings, and that hit a sweet spot. "Never." Y/N said, walking towards the cashier.

"There, you all are good ?" Frisk asked as the four of them were ahead of the store, putting their items in their bags. "Yep."  "All good."  "I am." Daniel, Y/N and Chara responded at the same time. "Just like soldiers." Frisk chuckled, Daniel did a military salute. The three of them shared a laugh as they started to walk towards who-knows-where.

Y/N smiled to himself, for a normally sad day, it started quite happily.
