BORED!

You looked up from your odd laying position on the couch. Your feet were propped up against the glass of the window behind it and your head was skimming the top of the floor. Why is there such a thing as time off? Normally, you wouldn't have minded it as much but there was nothing for you to do! And in order to keep the dark thoughts at bay you had to somehow keep distracted. It didn't help matters that everyone seemed to be busy today. So here you were watching TV upside down from your odd position on the couch. Not caring how much blood was rushing to your head. It was better than nothing.

The sound of a polite knock on your door had you sitting up so fast that you ended up toppling off the couch and on to the floor in a heap. A slight dizziness overwhelming you from the blood and sudden shift in position. Now wasn't the time. It wasn't like you could call out and say "Hey! Hold on a sec, I'm coming!". If you didn't get to the door at a reasonable time, the person might assume you aren't home and just leave.

Standing up, you dash over to the front door and pull it open. Revealing a rather tall monster. One that you knew that you had seen before but weren't sure where. She appeared to be some kind of goat monster. The first thing you noticed was her kind eyes. Her whole being seemed to give off a peaceful motherly vibe. She had beautiful white fur with floppy ears that took all your willpower to not reach out and touch. A wonderful smell greeted your nose. It was then you realized that she came bearing a gift.

A pie.. and it smelled amazing. The goat monster offered you a kind smile before speaking. "Hello, (y/n). It is wonderful to officially meet you in person. My name is Toriel. I'm Frisk's caretaker."

Your eyes widened at the realization. She was the goat lady at the park where you had met Frisk for the first time. So this was their mother? You gave her a nice smile back and stepped out of the way while gesturing inside. "Hello! Please come on in!" Your hands signed it as she passed through the door way. You led her into the living room and she placed the hot pie on top of the coffee table. "Where's Frisk?"

"They are in school currently. I would be working but I have accumulated to much off time at the school. Since I lose it at the end of the year, I decided to take the day off." Toriel's eyes politely scan the room that she was in as she settled on the couch that you had just occupied a few moments prior. "You have such a nice and tidy home!"

You knew this was supposed to be a compliment but that didn't stop you from internally wincing. It wasn't that your house was nice and tidy. It was more along the lines that you didn't have many decorations. The walls were void of picture frames, art, or anything decorative. Your shelves holding books and the like but not many knickknacks. The only really decorated rooms in your house were your bedroom and music room. The others were just bland. Maybe you could ask Mettaton for some help with that later.

Despite your internal monologuing you had a guest to care for! You asked if she would like something to drink and she kindly asked if you had any tea. The last time you checked you did. So you nodded your head and went into the kitchen. The first spot you checked was the pantry. No tea. Next was the cabinets. No tea there. Maybe you put it the fridge? Nope. It was just as barren as your pantry and cabinets were. Tea wasn't the only thing gone. You didn't have a lot of stuff in here at all. When was the last time you went shopping?
