The Devils Raven

Smile

Phantom pov
     After i finished telling my story, i looked at Frisk and G to see their reactions. They were taken aback by what i had told them and didnt seem to know what to say.
      "Im sorry," said G. "Im sorry that monsters killed your brother, that humans killed your family and friends. Im sorry."
       I was surprised by his compassion. Frisk also seemed to share the same emotion. "You dont need to apologize. It wasnt you that did that. It wasnt your fault. Sure a war happened. Sure people died," i sighed standing up. "But people die, just like the seasoms change, we cant control that. We cant control much these days, to be honest. Thats why," i paused," thats why we gotta push on, keep smiling, even if deep down," i put a hand on my chest, growing quieter, "even if deep down, all we are doing is crying and wishing for death. Theres always a chance that things may get better. No matter how dark the sky is at night, the stars will always shine, the sun will always rise and set, as the moon changes its face. It is just a part of what happens." I left the room, my small speech leaving them silent behind me, as i headed to the kitchen to get some freshly made brownies.

G pov
     Frisk and i were left dumbstruck by her words, moved to silence by what shed spoken. I broke the silence.
      "Ive never been more moved before," i uttered, for once at a loss of what i should really say. "Shes smart, not just a gorgeous girl." Wait did i really just say that.
       Frisk looked at me, smirking all of a sudden. He leaned in real close. "I ship it," he said quietly, causing a yellow blush to dust my cheekbones. "Aww~, G's got a crush," he said all sing song like. I really hate Alphys for her anime influence over this child.
      We stood up, me trying to calm down my blush, but to be honest, i really did like her. Why else would i not kill her. And follow her around for the past few weeks. Ugh, feelings are such an annoyance. I adjusted my cigarrette, before following Frisk towards the kitchen. The smell of brownies permeated the air, they smelled amazing.
      Raven was talking with monster kid who was trying to sneak a brownie off a plate with a pile of them on it. I snickered slightly. He wasnt succeeding, but Frisk was. He had almost reached them when Raven whipped around and grabbed his wrist.
      "Nope, they need to cool," she chastised. "Wouldnt want to burn your hand or mouth would you?" She smirked a bit.
      Frisk groaned. "Fine," he muttered in defeat. He then went around her, and if im correct, 'accidentally' caused her to trip. On instinct, i held out my arms and caught her. She looked up at me blushing. I too blushed for some reason, before finally helping her to her feet. Frisk smirked in triumph. He had done that on purpose.
       "You alright, doll?" I asked as cool as i could.
       "Uh, yeah," she answered awkwardly, she was still blushing.
      "Sorry," said Frisk, "i didnt mean to trip you, Raven."
       "Its, uh, its fine," she said hurriedly.
       "You sure sis?" Asked MK, coming closer. "Youre face is pink, are you cold?" Man this kid is clueless.
       "No," she said," just kinda embarrassed i fell and G had to catch me." Heh, i shoulda guessed, why would she even take an interest in me, i am a monster, and she ddoesnt really seem like she wants to really be associated with them much, seeing as she lost a lot because of us. "Oh and uh, th-thanks, G, you know, for w-well catching me."
        "Think nothing of it doll," i answered, my cheekbones had a tinge of yellow to them. She had stuttered, did she actually like me? No, must just be a trick of my mind.

       His cheekbones were lightly dusted in yellow as he spoke. Was he, blushing. I felt embarrassed, not only had i fallen, i had stutteres like a fool. There was this strange feeling, i could feel it deep in my soul. But i couldnt place what it was. Was it? No, i refuse to even think that- but maybe. I did enjoy his company, despite having barelly spoken to him. I sighed. And then picked up a brownie, despite them still being hot and munched on it. The fact it was hot didnt bother me. Ive done this enough times not to care anymore.
       They stared at me. "Uh..." said Frisk in disbelief. "Didnt you just tell MK and me not to eat them 'cause theyre too hot?"
      "Yeah so?" I said taking another bite.
      "Then why are you eating one?" Frisk asked.
      " 'cause i can, and the brownies are good. Just a little hot, nothing i cant handle, seeing as they arent, smoking hot like me." I chuckled at my crappy pun.
      G chuckled as well, Frisk seemed surprised. "Doll, that was such a bad pun."
      "But youre laughing," i pointed out.
      "Yeah, it was a real rib tickler," he said back.
      I chuckled. "That was good, a real knee slapper."
       "Good one, good one. If we dont stop these jokes, i might get a femur."
        "Nice, but i think these jokes are running bone dry."
        We both burst into fits of laughter, while Frisk and MK groaned from the horrible puns, although i could swear Frisk had this weird look in his eye, did he know something i didnt? Probably, he's probably smarter than he looks.
        I calmed down my laughing, there was heat in my cheeks, hopefully theyll think its from laughing, i definately dont like G, right?
       "So doll, youre pretty good at puns," G said with a chuckle.
       "I used to be, i habent made many puns in the past ten years, haavent had anyone around to apprecuate them," i admitted. "Although i have to admit, its nice to be able to make puns again. So, uh, thanks, i guess, sorry for not being all that happy when you just showed up out of know where, im actually kimda glad you did." I smiled, it wasnt a forced one, nor a fake one, not a big goofy grin, nor a shy smile. My real smile was gentle, kind, and grateful; things i thought id never be again. Yet i was.

G pov
     I hadnt told puns in ages, not ones that had been appreciated at least. I was surprised by what she said, and her smile, it was different then the others id seen while watching her, it seemed genuine, not forced and it fit her.
      "You should smile more, doll. It suits you." I gave her a lazy grin of my own, moving the cigarrette in my teeth. I noticed Frisk with his stupid,  'i ship it' face in the corner of my eye, but ignored it for now.
      She blushed, flustered by my words. "Th-thank you," she stuttered out. "I havent smiled as much as i used to, 'cept round MK here." She tousled said monster's top spines, causing him to giggle.
       "You should smile more, and maybe come by the city more too," i told her. "Im certain the others wont mind."
       She shook her head. "If they figure out im human, im toast. Id rather not risk it."
       "If youre with us, they probably grow to trust you," i pointed out.
        "Maybe another time, but for now, i think you guys should head back, the sun is about to set." She turned to the plate of brownies, grabbing a few, wrapping them up, putting them in a bag, before holding them out to me with that beautiful smile of hers. "And take these with you. If your friends ask, you can tell em you got em from us. Say you ran into us while you were out and about or whatever."
       I nodded, giving her a grin. "Sure dove, and we will be sure to come back soon." I took the bag of brownies from her. Frisk and i left, the two bidding us farewell, waving us off.
       "So G," said Frisk once we were on the road again," you and Raven. You like her~." He teased with that all knowing shit eating grin that just screamed that he knew he was right.
       "So what if i do?" I growled lightly.
      "Oooh! G, the devil himself, admitting to actually having feelings, and for a human too? The world must be ending!" He cackled after saying this.
      "Oh hush Frisk. Youre one to talk, seeing as you obviously like Asriel," i smirked.
      "H-hey! Just cause i like him doesnt mean you have to tease me twenty four seven. Count this as revenge for all the times you have teased me." He crossed his arms, giving a pout, a light blush decking his features. I chuckled, heh, i guess i did deserve it. The ride back was uneventful, the sun setting as we arrived back home, faving an agitated Toriel.
      "Where have you been all day?" She demanded. Frisk and i traded a look. Welp this would be great.
