Why

Chapter 17

BLUE

******

Riiiiiinnnnggg! That horrible ear-spitting ring filled my ears once again.

Red should really turn that off when guests are over.

I squirmed out of Red's arm and tiredly walked into his room and banged on the wall, making the alarm stop. I glanced over at Frisk. She looked like she didn't get a wink of sleep last night.

"Um... Human? Are you okay?"

"No."

I sat next to her on the bed and asked "What's wrong?" Frisk sighed and replied "Nightmare."

"About?"

"I was standing on top of a... mountain, I guess. But when I looked down I wasn't on a mountain I was on... a pile... a pile of, dead people, of dead monsters. That I had killed..." Frisk started crying. I gave her a hug and said "It's okay it was just a dream."

After a few minutes she pushed me away and said she would be down in a minute. I walked out of the bedroom and joined Red downstairs. Red was sitting on the couch looking like he hasn't slept for days.

"Red, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, I just need some coffee."

"Just be sure to keep it away from me this time."

"I know, Blue plus coffee equal Red in coffen."

"That was terrible."

"Thank you."

Red got off the black couch then walked in the kitchen and started to make a cup of coffee. The only thing I could think about was how I made Red truely  happy.
Me.

Frisk walked down the stairs and gave me a tiny wave. I waved back as Red popped out the kitchen and commanded "Blue, go in my room and get my, er... collar, off my desk."

"Collar?"

"Yes it's red and it has spikes on it and it's on my desk, now go get it."

"Why don't you go get it you lazy bones?"

"I don't trust those stairs."

"Why!"

"There up to something."

It took me and Frisk a second to get the pun. Frisk almost fell on the floor in laughter while I just said "Ow, I think that actually hurt."

I went into Red's room and found the 'collar' he told me to get.

Why couldn't he just say 'spiked necklace?

I walked back down stairs and found Red and Frisk chatting in kitchen. Red looked angry at Frisk, and Frisk looked like the only she didn't want to be was here. The human looked over at me, faked a smile, and announced "I'm gonna head out, I have... Uh, somewhere to be."

I pouted and responded "You have to go already? We haven't even hung out that much!"

Frisk took a few steps toward the door

"Sorry Blue, but I got people to see things to do."

She took a few more steps.

"Promise to come and vist?"

She took more steps.

"I promise to try." And with that Frisk the human was gone.

I sighed heavily and gave Red his spiked necklace. Red snapped the collar on around his neck, then patted my back and tried to comfort me "Eh, she'll be back. How 'bout when I finished with my coffee we go to Grillby's?" I slowly nodded.

What's Grillby's?
