The sun was now approaching its zenith, and Frisk and Chara were heading home. A light summer wind rustled the plant life all around, and the streets were beginning to become packed with people.
"Thanks for all that," Frisk blushed.
"For seeing me dance like a chicken? You're welcome," Chara laughed.
"Chara, you did GREAT for your first try. It took me years to get as good as I am now."
"Frisk, you need to put on a show! You could get paid!"
"What? I - uh - don't really like dancing... in front of people."
"You did it for me. And - you really are SO talented!"
"I guess, but... I'm just too shy to do it for anyone but you or Sans."
"Well you do you, but - I promise they'd adore you, just like I do."
"Thank you, Chara... you're so nice..."
"I try."
Just then, a large wasp began to buzz near Frisk. The bug circled the human's head as if interested in them.
"Oh, hey, Mr. Wasp," Frisk greeted the insect.
Suddenly, the wasp zipped toward Chara. To Frisk's surprise, Chara shreiked and lifted a stick from the ground, knocking the wasp to the ground. Once the bug was down, Chara delivered one huge stomp to it. Sighing, they dropped the stick.
"Relax, Chara, it's just a bug!" Frisk exclaimed. "You can't-"
"Shut up, Frisk!" Chara snapped.
Frisk gasped.
"Oh - I - I'm sorry," Chara replied sheepishly. "I just... don't like to talk about how I'm scared of wasps."
"It's okay... I never knew you had spheksophobia," Frisk comforted.
"Yeah... don't comfort me though. It's REALLY embarrassing!"
"Chara, it's not embarrassing to be scared of something. You can't help it."
"I know, but... I could never have anyone think I'm like a wimp or something. So I just don't tell anyone."
As the two sat down on a bench, Frisk said: "that's understandable. But still, I'd NEVER judge you!"
"I know, I know... I just don't like getting rid of my... image, y'know?"
"Oh - uh-huh! I get it."
"I'm... REALLY sorry for yelling."
"It's okay, you're forgiven. And don't worry, nobody has to know about the wasp thing."
"Okay!" Chara hugged their love and got up, starting down the street.
As the day went on, and the two headed home, Chara felt so grateful to have such a forgiving and lovely partner...
