I built a friend

Part 5 - A day at the park

It was the weekend so Chara and I had time to hangout. I didn't particularly like leaving the house but I thought that it would be nice to go to the park. When Chara and I got there, Chara looked amazed. I forgot that Chara, all though looking my age, had only came into existence a month ago and had never really left my side. This was a bit exciting, I got to see someone have fun at the park for the first time. "Chara, the first thing you need to do is try the monkey bars." I said with a bit of excitement in my voice. I climbed a short ladder and rested my hands on the first rung of the monkey bars. "like this." I said before crossing the monkey bars with no problem and landing on the other side then making my way back to Chara. "Now you try." I said leading her to the monkey bars. She climbed the ladder and slowly made her way to the opposite side while I stayed on the ground nearing the end of the play equipment. "I'm doing it!" Chara cheered while giggling. She had the most innocent smile on her face and she looked so happy. She got almost to the end but somehow, while she was almost right above me, she fell and landed on top of me. I didn't need a mirror to know that I was blushing. We had landed face to face with Chara lying right on top of me. She was mere centimeters from my face and I could feel her breath on me. Her legs in between mine, she seemed to be flustered by this as well, more than me even. She just laid there, not doing anything, she seemed flustered and slightly scarred. "Hey, do you mind getting off me?" I asked. Chara seemed to snap back to reality. "huh? Oh, y-yeah." She stuttered, slowly lifting herself off me. "S-sorry, I must have l-lost my grip."

Chara's POV

I slipped off the monkey bars and landed on top of Frisk. My face was extremely close to Frisk's and I felt my face was burning up. Frisk's cheeks were completely red. For some reason I couldn't think of what to do. My mind was buzzing with thoughts but I couldn't understand any of them. I snapped back to reality when I heard Frisk's voice. "Hey, do you mind getting off me?" I stuttered a reply and got off her as I tried to collect myself. I looked at Frisk on the ground still. I never realized how pretty Frisk looked and my cheeks began to heat up more. I wish I knew what this feeling was. Whenever I'm with Frisk (which is often) my mind begins to buzz, my stomach feels like I had just eaten live butterflies, my heart rate quickens and I feel my face get hot. Why did I feel this way? It makes no sense, I was supposed to be Frisk's friend but these were not feelings that came with friendship, I knew that for sure. I was confused but I couldn't ask Frisk what these feelings were so I decided to ask Toriel at some point, but for now, I would enjoy my time with Frisk having new experiences at the park. The next thing she got me to try was the swing. Once I sat on it, Frisk started to push on my back to make the swing move. Eventually she let go and told me how to move to keep the swing moving on my own. "When the swing moves forward, kick your legs out and lean backwards then when it goes back, bring your legs in and lean forward a bit." Frisk explained to me. I nodded and began to follow the instructions. At first I was fine, but then I decided that I wanted to go higher so I tried leaning back more but I leaned back too far and fell off the swing. It hurt a lot but I stayed strong. "Chara!" Frisk shouted as she rushed over to me. "I'm. Ok." I groaned, lifting up a thumbs up. "I think that's enough falling for one day Chara, let's get you home." Frisk said, giggling and picking me off the ground then placing her hand on my back to move me forward. I clutched on to my head for the walk home. It still hurt. I hung my head, besides the fact that I kept falling off stuff, I had fun at the park.
