The True Ending

~Chapter Eight~

AN:      :D

~~~

Twilight feel over an oasis that sat above the rest of the world. On a mountain called Ebott, the place was a little perfect relief after the events that led to this. Fireflies blinked in golden flickers across Frisk's closed eyelids. They decided then they wouldn't mind spending forever in this moment.

They weren't sure who leaned in first, only that their noses bumped gently, and that they smiled before their lips touched. Chara's lips were cold from the water and they moved them carefully with Frisk's. It was a slow kiss, each of the taking the time to learn the other and enjoying every second they kissed.

Frisk lifted their hand gently and touched Chara's cheek, then moved it to rest on their neck. Their other hand did the same, so they held Chara to them. Chara skin was flushed and hot to the touch, despite the cool water. Chara wrapped their arms around Frisk's back and pulled them closer.

After a minute they both pulled back, catching their breath. Frisk's eyes stayed closed, wanting to savor these feelings. Chara held them close, intertwining their fingers in Frisk's curls. Chara leaned back and shifted Frisk's body gently, like they were fragile. Frisk moved their hands from Chara's neck to grip the front of their shirt, snuggling up close. Once they were settled Frisk reached up and pecked Chara's cheek, and opened their eyes just enough to see them blush.

Frisk sighed and closed their eyes again, feeling sleepy and content. Chara, however, was too awake and excited to sleep. They looked up at the sky where the stars were just beginning to peek out. They knew that this was the first time many of the monsters had seen real stars, and they half-wished they were back at the camp to see their reactions. But then Frisk nuzzled their head into Chara shoulder, and there was no where else they'd rather be.

A firefly rested on Frisk's forehead, and they felt Chara brush it off carefully. They smiled and dug themselves deeper into Chara's shoulder. They wanted to fall asleep to the song of the thoughts they needed to tell Chara, but would wait to.

Was this what I've been missing?

Can this really be real?

I'd fall apart without you, and Asriel, and everyone. But mostly you.

I love you.

But other, more depressing thoughts came. Unwilling, but unable to stop them, Frisk held back tears as these questions tore at their happiness.

What if they knew....?

Would they still care?

Do they love me, or the charade of me?

Frisk closed their eyes tight, and pretended to sleep soundly.

~~~

When they awoke it was completely dark out. Frisk was still wrapped up with Chara. They looked up at their love with puffy eyes. They were asleep and looked peaceful. Frisk smiled a little and kissed Chara's cheek, chin, nose, and finally their lips. Chara kissed them back, though seemingly still asleep. Perhaps they were having a dream about them kissing.

Frisk settled back down in the curve of Chara's arm. It was definitely numb by now, but they didn't seem bothered by it.

After a few more minutes Frisk felt them stirring. They turned to smile at the as they woke, and hoped Chara couldn't see their red and puffy eyes in the dark. They stretched and yawned, wincing at the arm that had been Frisk's pillow. Their eyes opened and they smiled when they met Frisk's.

They both sat up and hugged each other tight. They knew they should head back to camp but also didn't want to give up this precious privacy. Finally, after a few more minutes of hugging and soft smooches placed on cheeks and foreheads, they got up and headed back to camp, hand in hand.

When the reached the camp they were met with a beautiful scene: all the monsters from before surrounding the huge bonfire, laughing and hugging and dancing and celebrating. Children were running around with little torches of flame that blew out quickly in the brisk breeze. Monster Kid was sitting by the fire, roasting something on a stick he held in his mouth. Papyrus was asleep on Sans' lap and Sans was whispering something to Toriel, probably a joke, making sure not to wake his brother. Asgore was talking with Alphys off to the side.

As the two watched Undyne came up and swept Alphys away, laughing and calling out an apology to the king. They started to dance with the other couples, Alphys' face as red as the flames. Asriel ran up to his mother and bowed, formally asking her to dance. She, of course, said yes, and the two took to dancing as well. Sans looked after them with a smile on his face.

Frisk laughed and gave a sudden tug on Chara's hand. Chara almost tripped as Frisk hurriedly pulled them to join the other dancers. They giggled and bowed to Chara, holding out their other hands as an invitation.

"My love, won't you please honor me with a dance?" Frisk asked, grinning.

Chara shook their head. "You dork."

They both laughed. Frisk pulled Chara to them and placed a hand on their back. The other was still holding Chara's. They leaned their heads together and smiled as they moved. There was no music and everyone danced to their own rhythm: some slow, others quick and light on their feet. Chara and Frisk swayed together, enjoying the feeling of holding each other close.

Soon they bumped into Toriel and Asriel, and the four of them circled up and danced together. Eventually more monsters joined their circled, and then everyone was spinning happily, dizzy but laughing, catching their breath as the night fell and the dawn arose from its rest.

AN: I suppose I should answer some questions y'all might have.

Is this fanfic just going to be about Charisk?

No, but Charisk will happen, point blank. However, I do have a story plot planned, one that does not necessarily revolve around their relationship.

Has Frisk only done a pacifist route in this fanfic?

That is yet to be reveled.

What other ships are cannon?

Alphdyne is cannon. I have yet to decide on any others, but I am leaning more toward Asgoriel at the moment, if only for Asriel's and Chara's sake.

If you guys have any other questions please let me know! I hope y'all liked this and have a great night!
