This War Between Us: Ink and Gaster!Sans X Reader

Chapter 1 (pt 2)

I didn't hear anything. Everything was silent except for the slow breeze passing by. I looked back at the skelebros to see exactly what was happening. To see if Ink was okay. But they weren't there. I stood up looked around for any sigh of them. The only thing I found was a note. 'Stay here. Be back soon.'  I knew I couldn't just stay in this field alone and unprotected. Yet, I couldn't disobey them either. I had too much respect and fear to do that.

 Well on one side I look for a safe place to hide until they come back and face the punishment later or stay in the open while having a 50/50 chance of not getting captured and not get punished. Either way something bad was going to happen to me, so I laid back down on the grass and closed my eyes. The ground was hard but the grass made it bearable, and the sun acted as the perfect blanket to keep me warm. I sighed "How did my life end up like this?"

'Heh. I'm finally dead. I knew it would happen, at least now no one can bother me anymore. I don't have to deal with the pain and emptiness of life. But it's so quiet. Why is everything so quiet? Am I forgetting something? Or maybe...someone? What was their name? Annie....Ann......Anna?' "HANNA!" I jolted up in state of pure panic. I was laying on a dirty air mattress, the room was dimly lit by a single candle in the center. There are a few cracks in the walls, some running down all the way to the floor. A few holes in the ceiling expose rusted leaky pipes. 

I got up and ran towards the door on the other side of the room, but fell half way there. My entire body felt heavy and weak. I tried to stand once again, but failed. My ankle felt as though it was shattered. I loudly cursed at how pathetic I was. Not being able to the simplest of tasks like standing, running, or keeping a promise. Our promise. A promise that could have very well kept her by my side. No matter the consequence. But I couldn't keep it. "I couldn't keep our promise....."

I heard voices on the other side of the door.

I chose to ignore it.

The room started to look blurry and wavy as tears welled up in my eyes.

I sat in the fetal position as a stream of tears started to flow one by one.

One of the voices grow louder. Yet I still chose to ignore it.

I started it hyperventilate thinking of what could've become of Hanna. I tightly shut my eyes and put my hands over my ears. The agonizing sound of her screams was repeated over and over. Seemingly endless. Almost as though they were a broken record.

Everything was getting louder. I could hardly think straight as the room started to spin.

I couldn't take it anymore. The voices, the screaming, the tears, our promise. They were all giving me a splitting headache. I started screaming as an attempt to drown out the noise. My mistake. My failure. My life.

The door swung open just as I blacked out.

"Hey, kiddo, wake up. I'm not carrying you back to the base. Get your ass up!" I groaned and turned over on my side. "I'll get up when Inky comes back." No longer could I feel the soft grass, instead I opened my eyes, and saw a golden aura surrounding me. "Are you brain-dead? I said get up. Listen to me when I tell you to do something." I nodded, and  Gaster planted me safely on the ground instead of dropping me like he had countless times before. 

While I dusted off my clothes, I noticed Ink wasn't at his side. "Ink's back at house. He's fine. I didn't do anything to him, but slap him a few times." I smiled. Just knowing that Gaster didn't hurt him almost pushes me to the brink of tears. Ink was the first monster to show me kindness and mercy. Even before the war, before everyone was split into The Rulers and The Exiled, had any monster shown me anything except disgust and resentment. "By the way, sorry for yelling at you." He held out one hand for me to shake while the other was on the back of his neck. "I'm just not use to helping humans for this long." I looked his his skeleton hand, then back at him. There was a yellow hue spread across his cheekbones. Making me blush a light pink as well.

"You don't need to apologize. Really you don't. But if you could keep me calling Ink 'Inky' a secret, that would be nice." The heat on my face intensified. Yet it wasn't a request that was completely foreign. If anything, it was pretty common for me to ask him to keep any slip-ups like that to stay between us. However, sometimes, he would tell him anyway. Despite how much I beg him not to. Gaster let out a small chuckle and lightly rubbed my head. "I guess we got a deal, Do- I mean kiddo."

"Wait, what did you-" before I could finish my sentence, he grabbed my wrist and teleported us back to the house. The room was blurred for a few seconds, and my balance was completely off. Causing me to stumble a little and cling onto Gaster's leather jacket.

A/n: Yay, an update after so long without one! But testing season has begun, and so has the projects and stress. So, most likely, I won't have time to update anything. However, I may update short filler chapters in both this book and in G!Sans x Bullied!Reader. It'll mostly be like an OVA though.

SO UNTIL NEXT TIME MY WAYWARD MUFFINS!!!!!!
