Chapter 5: The Date

Asriel looks at his dating book and reads it. He appears to be straining his eyes just to read the book.

"Okay... Step 1... Ask them on a date..."

Asriel looks up from his book and he smiles cheerfully.

"Human! I, The great god Asriel, Shall ask you to go on a date with me!"

Frisk chuckles silently and nods. Asriel blushes brightly and his eyes seem to sparkle with stars.

"R-Really?! I guess that means it's time for step two!!"

Asriel reads his book with sparkling eyes that are filled with excitement.

"Step 2... Put on nice clothes to show that you care..."

Asriel stays silent for a  moment before looking at Frisk suspiciously.

"Wait a moment!... 'Nice clothing'... That bandage you're wearing... You are wearing clothing right now!!! And that's not all... Earlier today... You were also wearing that gross bandage!"

Asriel blushes light pink before continuing.

"This means... You wanted to date the great god Asriel from the start..?!"

Frisk plays along and nods.

"OH NO! You have planned it all along! You're better at dating than the great god Asriel! N-No! Your dating power..!"

A meter appears above Asriel with the label of 'DATING POWER' on top of it. The bar fills up with a dark blue bar that goes a little over the quarter way mark.

Asriel has a challenging look on his face as he speaks confidently, puffing out his chest.

"Don't think you have defeated me yet!"

The tension is rising as Asriel continues talking.

"I, The great god Asriel, has never been beating at dating! And I never will! I can easily keep up with you and I will! You see, I, too, can wear clothing!!! In fact, I always have my special clothes under my regular clothes! Just in case someone wants to ask, I, The great god Asriel, on a date! Feast your eyes!"

Asriel runs to his closet quickly and all that Frisk can hear is what sounds like the throwing of clothes. Asriel runs out the closet with clothes that look similar to Classic Asriel Dreemurr in his ultimate form after he used Hyper Goner ((I think that's the name.)). This was so familiar to Frisk but, again, They could never figure out where they had seen it. Frisk pushed the thoughts out of there mind and they mentally sighed. Asriel looked pretty proud and happy as he puffed out his chest.

"Ha! What do you think of my secret style???"

Frisk nods and puts a thumbs up. Asriel takes a step back.

"Oh no! A genuine compliment..!!!"

The meter labeled 'DATING METER' appears above Asriel and the dark blue meter in it raises and stops when it's three quarters full. Asriel pauses for a second before mischievous smile formed on Asriel's face.

"However, You truly don't understand the hidden power of this special outfit! Therefore, what you just said was invalid!!! This date shall not escalate any further!"

The meter above Asriel's head drops down to a little above the half way mark on the bar.

". . . Unless you find the secret meaning behind this outfit . . . But I shall not let that happen!"

Frisk inspects Asriel, who is pretty determined and proud. Frisk keeps inspecting before they point at Asriel's chestplate.

"My chestplate..? My chestplate!"

Asriel reaches into his chestplate, which was a little big on him so he could reach in there, and pulls out a boxed gift and holds it out to Frisk.

"W-Well... You found my secret, human! I guess I have no choice! It's a gift, A gift just for you!"

Frisk smiles as the kindly take the gift and they open it to find a small plate holding three star cookies. Asriel seems really proud and excited before speaking.

"Do you know what this is?"

Frisk nods and Asriel adjusts his rainbow scarf proudly as he speaks with such confidence.

"'Star Cookies'. That's what you are thinking of right now,"

Asriel pauses before giving a mischievous smirk.

"But that thought is wrong! These aren't any ol' star cookies! These star cookies are a master's work!"

Frisk listens to Asriel go into a very detailed speech about how the cookies were made, Asriel containing the same proud and confident attitude the whole time, before Asriel switches the topic.

"Human! It is time to end this! There is no way for this date to go any further!"

Frisk takes a bite of a star cookie from the plate. Their face reflexively scrunches up. It wasn't the best thing Frisk had eaten... Asriel seems to think Frisk likes it though.

"What a passionate expression!!! You must enjoy my cooking! And by extension, me!"

A pink blush appeared on Asriel's cheeks but it quickly fades as he continues.

"Maybe even more than I do!!"

The dating meter fills up with the dark blue and all Frisk can see is white.

"Human. It's clear now. You're madly in love with me! Everything you do, Everything you say, It has all been for my sake. Human, I want to you to be happy, too. It is time for me to express my feelings. It is time that I told you... I, Asriel..."

Frisk's vision goes back to normal and Asriel has averted his eyes away from Frisk.

"I... Uh... Stars, It sure is hot in here, Or is that just me..."

Asriel sweats a little, but his fur makes it not visible to Frisk. Asriel looks glances at Frisk.

"Human, I am so very sorry, For I, The great god Asriel, Do not share the same feelings as you. Romantically, I mean. I tried very hard to like you in the way you like me but... I could not succeed. And by going on this date with you, I have only drawn you deeper... Into your intense love for me! A dark prison of passion, with no escape. How could I have ever done this to my dear friend!? ... No! What I just said was incorrect! I cannot fail at anything! Human, I shall assist you during these harsh times! I, The great god Asriel, shall continue being an amazing friend! And will act as if this has never happened. After all, You are pretty great! It would be a tragedy to lose your friendship... So please. Do not cry because I will not kiss you. I believe that someday, You'll find someone as great as me. Well... No one is as amazing as me... But I shall help you settle for second best!"

Asriel darts off but he suddenly stops and runs back to Frisk.

"I almost forgot! In case you need to reach me, here's my phone number! You can call me at anytime!... Platonically,"

Asriel hands his phone number to Frisk. Asriel continues speaking.

"Well, I gotta go! See you later, human!"

Asriel darts away and before Frisk could run outside and look outside to see which direction he had went, He was gone.
