Chapter 42: WATERFALL

(O.D.D.- Sorry about this super late update, but there have been many requests for a different story.  Anyways, enjoy! ( ^ω^ ))

"...happened?....alright?"

"..DON'T...KNOW...CRACKS FORMING.......SOUL..."

Cry blearily opened his eyes.

The broken sentences were slowly starting to make sense.

"...Did ya'...check his temperature? He might be si--oh, hey! Kid's awake."

Cry's eyes began to focus and he felt large hands on his shoulders, shaking him frantically.

"HUMAN, HUMAN, HUMAN, HUMAN! NYOOHOOHOOHOO, ARE YOU BREATHING!? IT'S ALL MY FAULT!"

Cry groaned softly, but the shaking stopped.

"Paps, you'll make him feel worse that way. Why don't you go with Frisk and get something to eat."

"WELL.......ALRIGHT THEN. I WOULD'VE LIKED TO MAKE SOME FRESH SPAGHETTI, BUT IT WOULD BE BETTER TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT'S READY. WE WON'T BE LONG, BROTHER!"

Creak~clunk!

Cry opened his eyes to stare up at an orange ceiling.

"Hey, kiddo."

The brunet looked over at Sans and sweatdropped.

'Oh sh**. The lights in his eyes are gone.'

"I'm gonna ask you again......h a v e w e e v e r m e t b e f o r e ?"

Cry grunted and sat up, noting that he was on the couch of the skeleton brother's cozy home.

The brunet chibi rubbed his face before looking over at Sans, who had lights back in his eyes, but they seemed a bit cold.

"Okay......well...um....in a way....yes? Kinda?"

Cry laughed nervously, waving his hands around.

"Erm....I haven't actually met you like, um, face to face, or face to skull, eheh....."

The brunet had tried to joke a little with the short skeleton.

Sans stared for a bit before he snorted.

"Heh, good one."

The short skeleton then inclined his skull.

"But tell me, what do you mean by that.......to tell you a little thing about myself....I can go through various timelines.....but I've never seen you once in any of them."

Cry played with his fingers.

"Well....I don't want to be rude and say that I was playing a game that had everyone of you monsters in it, including Frisk, but that's kinda what happened...."

The brunet floundered.

"I never killed anyone when I played. I never RESET, but I guess you wouldn't believe me so easily...."

Cry sighed.

"Welp, I bet you might kill me or something, but I can't do that just yet. I need to....help my frien--."

"I believe in you, kid."

Cry blinked owlishly.

"You do?"

Sans sighed, the lights in his eyes became warmer.

"Well....despite all of the magic you've been doing, I feel like I can trust you. You've proven it right now--you told at least a part of the truth, which is great. It's better than being told a fibula, ya know?"
