Better Left Unsaid

Chapter 2

A groan was let out as Red opened his eye lights. The sound of a shower was faint, Nova was cleaning up. The ruby eyed skeleton searched for his phone for the time, it was only 1:00 A.M. He climbed out of his bed, heading to take a peek at his lover. Not that there was much to see besides steam and a faint outline. He sighed, heading to the kitchen to retrieve a bottle of mustard.

He sat down at the table, sipping at the condiment. Boss would be back by morning. He couldn't see Nova, it would be hell. Boss would tattle on him, getting the council involved. It would be a pain in his non-existent ass. The council was a group of Sans, Gasters, and a few Papyri; they decided what happened in the Multiverse. They made the laws that others have to abide by.

Fucking assholes hated being turned down. Nova wanted nothing to do with them. One of the rules was that every Sans had to have a stationary AU, a place they called home. But Nova refused to find in one place, 'Too much risk' he said. Risk of what though? Red had no idea.

He would love it if Nova would stay with him. But he didn't, so that was that. "What you thinkin bout? New sex position?" The sudden sound in an empty room made him jump. "Nah, you leaving now?" he said as he patted his lap. Nova took the invitation, nuzzling into his lover's clavicle. They sat there, enjoying one another's embrace. Red traced invisible patterns on Nova's shoulder and Nova did the same to his rib cage. "Ya know, ya don't hafta leave. We could tell the council ta file ya as part of this universe."  The purple eyed skeleton sighed and pushed Red away, standing and leaving the room. 

"You know I can't , there's too much ris-" " Yeah Yeah, 'too much risk', what is there to lose, yer alone out there!? Unless ya got a new 'friend' on yer travels!" Red snarled out, Nova bared his own set of razor sharp fangs and flattened his ears, "It's none of your concern, all you need to know is that it's better this way, trust me." Red slammed his fist on the table, the force causing the other end to lift off the ground an inch or two, "How the fuck is this better, we're partners aren't we? Shouldn't ya trust me, or am I just a play toy?" 

Nova pinched his nasal ridge, "If your gonna yell at me, I'll just leave." And with that he ported out, wisps of purple and black smoke left in his wake.  Red stomped up the stairs to his room and slammed the door with a thud. What right did Nova have to keep secrets from him? They were lovers, isn't a relationship supposed to be open to one another? Red told him shit that his brother didn't even know. The gold fanged skeleton grumbled, falling into a dreamless sleep.
