Locked in dreams | AU

The truth.

"Yeah, he's awake, but he's really not doing well. He can't remember anything at all, I mean, he literally forgot his name! We think that maybe, the chunk that he lost contained very important part of his brain."

"Can I talk to him?"

"Well yes, but I warn you, he won't be acting like he usually does... Let's say that he's-..."

"I still want to see him."

"He's in that room over there..." Tennis Ball pointed one of the rooms in the hall with his left foot.

Fries wasn't expecting seeing Gelatin standing right in front of him when he opened the door. He staid silent for some seconds.

"Ooohh... A new one! How interesting!" Gelatin said ironically while he stepped back looking at Fries, analyzing him with his remaining eye. "What's your name object fella?"

"Do you really need to know my name?" Fries crossed his arms. "Are you seriously asking me that?"

"Nah... I guess I don't need to know any stranger's names" He said while turning around, then in contrast with his attitude he struggled to weakly approach a window. Fries followed him with his arms crossed.

"Agh... I told you to be careful..! Now look at you..." Fries thought to himself. Then he looked at him and said "So you really don't remember anything?"

"If you're talking about what that ball shaped object was asking me, nope." He kept looking through the window. "She and her friend told me that I suffered an accident, and that's why I can't remember stuff." He turned his head to look at Fries with a challenging smile. "They assumed that I previously knew their names too." He looked through the window again. "Changing themes, I know they're not just friends! Just look at them! They live together-"

"Gelatin stop."

"See! Gelatin!" He looked at Fries "They called me that name too! I don't know how you all ended up calling me like that!" He stopped and held his head with a pain expression. While doing that he looked through the window once again. "Somehow I feel like I knew everybody here before... It's weird considering that everyone here seems to know me... Ohhh, right the accident! That's why!" He stopped holding his head. "Silly me!"

"I told you to be careful..!"

"You haven't even told me your name." Gelatin laughed, but then he stopped and put one of his hand on his forehead . "Urgh... My head hurts."

"I'm leaving." Fries walked to the door but stopped when.

"Wait-!" Gelatin said turning around to see him "Take me with you! I promise I'll leave you alone when I get out of here! I don't wanna be in this strange room in a strange place with strange objects anymore!"

"Gelatin, they're taking care of you. You're still not ready to leave."

"But! But-!" Gelatin thought of an excuse. "I don't want to be alone?"

"You should have said that back then in the forest. It's not my responsibility if you're like this." Fries said while closing the door with a bit of guilt.

"How was he doing?" Tennis Ball said from afar.

"He was standing. Talking like he wasn't horribly injured." Fries said while approaching without looking at him.

"That's new... He couldn't stand up some time ago..!" Tennis Ball was surprised. "He sure is recovering well..!"

"What did you guys do to him?" Fries looked at TB.
