Nothing was more heartbreaking than watching her fade. Watching her hand fall from my cheek and onto the lab floor. Why did she have to die?!? Part of me still had hope that she could reset. That she would be okay and I could hold her tighter. The tears that fell from me were ugly. I had failed to keep her safe. All this time I was worried about Papyrus when it was her I should've been training to protect.
The regrets flooded in. I hated everything so much more now. It was like the only sunshine I had ever had was just.... Gone. It was like I had forgotten my reasons to live as my vision went blurry with tears. I knew I couldn't leave Papyrus like that simply because I wanted my Frisk back.... My Crystal...
She didn't turn to dust like I was hoping. She was just there, lifeless in my arms. I let out a yell of anger and defeat. I wanted to hit something. Hard. I wanted to blow this building to bits. I could feel my magic buzzing in my eye and it started to hurt. I heard the flower gasp. Now was not the time for this..
"What the fuck happened?!? Wha- Frisk?!?" He panicked. He appeared beside me and started to shake her, tears forming in his eyes as well.
"Don't touch her" I growled through tears. Only I was aloud to hold her right now...
And... surprisingly, he listened. He let go and just cried there with me.
Eventually I stood up, and took her into my arms. I carried her bridal style to the elevator and out into hotlands. I couldn't bare to look back, as I would have destroyed the place. The main task at hand was taking care of Frisk. I carried her into waterfall and laid her on a bed of echoflowers. She had looked so peaceful in the soft blue glow and even after death.....
I was shaking in anger and sadness, trying not to engulf this entire patch in flames. I brushed the hair from her face and placed one last kiss on her lips before I took my jacket off, and placed it over her features. As I walked away from the love of my life, I drifted farther into sadness. What was I going to tell Papyrus?
When I did, finally get back, I had gotten through an entire pack of cigarettes, but to no avail. I only made it worse. I entered the house slowly unable to even think. I wasn't ready for this... Papyrus turned his head to me but instantly his smile was gone.
"Brother? What's the matter?" He asked cautiously and I stopped in my tracks.
I stared down at my feet, tears forming again. I couldn't make this sweet. I couldn't sugar coat this... So I just said it. "She's gone...."
He didn't seem to understand. "Oh she'll be back brother! She knows we are here!"
"No Paps I mean she's...."
"Missing, I know. Perhaps she just needs a breather-"
"No, papyrus, I mean she's dead!" I yelled, glaring.
I don't know why I glared. He didn't know, it wasn't his fault. His eyes began to water and his posture visibly faded. I was regretting telling him that.... Maybe I could have made it seem like she just.... Went away for a while.... He would have figured it out with time....
"Wh.... What?" He asked shakily.
I hugged him... I hugged him so tight... "I know buddy... believe me I know...." I whispered. He pulled me close and hugged me back, crying into my shoulder.
"I'm so sorry brother..." was all he said...
As the weeks passed, I spent my life drinking away in that stupid bar. I sat away from where I had placed her on her birthday. In fact that was all I could see in that bar. The memory of her lips on mine, and then I took her out of the bar with a shortcut. Papyrus, nor the flower, had ever come to stop me either.
Papyrus had spent most of his time in his room, and things kind of went back to the way they were before Frisk showed up. Accept, I never really went to make sure everything was in good conditions anymore. I never went to waterfall and that was that.
The flower and I seemed to have a mutual understanding of each other and, he stayed out of my way. He kept Papyrus company though, of which I was grateful for. Besides that though, I spent my time alone, in that godforsaken bar....
Until two years later, on my birthday....
God what a day.... Heh
