Part 18 of 21: Regrets

Papyrus stared down at Lust quivering body with wide eye-sockets. For a moment, all he could do was gape at Lust, so caught in surprise he was.

The sound of feet shuffling just outside his door brought him back to reality.

"S-Sans!!" His voice was on the edge of hysteria. Fell appeared in the doorway, looking a little put off by the tone of Papyrus's voice.

His own eye-sockets widened in horror as he took in the blood staining the sheets around Lust. Rushing to his side, he hovered his fingers over Lust's prone figure, unsure of whether to touch him or not.

Swallowing, he lightly placed a finger against Lust's radius.

.3/1 HP

His soul plummeted. "Oh fuck.." Fell muttered. Not only was Lust about to die, he already only had one HP to begin with. How could they have not known!?

He turned to Papyrus. "We're gonna have to heal him together, otherwise he might not make it."

Papyrus paled at that prognosis, but nodded his head imperceptibly. Together, the brothers raised their hands to hover over Lust's body, bathing it in the green light of their healing magic.

Eventually, the blood stopped flowing from Lust's mouth. They both shared a collective sigh of relief as Fell checked Lust's stats again.

1/1 HP

Fell wiped the sweat off of his brow bone. "He'll be fine for now, but we should clean him up."

"I'll cover that." Papyrus left, then returned shortly with a wet towel. He began wiping the blood off of Lust, then moving his unconscious body so that he could take down the blood stained bedsheet.

Seeing that Papyrus had it covered, Fell left the room, but not before turning back once more to gaze morosely at the still figure of Lust.

That skeleton had to endure so much. He wasn't really sure what Boss had done to lower Lust's HP to .3, but he knew it had to be him. It might've been an accident, but nonetheless, Lust had gotten injured.

Fell hadn't wanted to ask Boss the details because for one, he was afraid Boss might get angry at him. And two, he really didn't want to know what horrible things Boss had been doing to Lust before he had gotten hurt.

Fell really wished he could help Lust, but he was too scared to go against his brother. He wished he were more brave, like his smaller copy, but years of submission had rendered that impossible for him. He could only stand on the side and feel the guilt eating away at him.
