(Underfell sans x reader (female)) UNDERCOVER

Survive until the end

         Toriel and I had a great time talking to each other and became quite entertained by each other's company. Turns out everyone in the underground loves dark humor and so do I! Half way through the conversation, I had realized that I actually forgot to introduce myself even though I secretly already knew Toriel. I put on my most gentlemen-like character and stand up from the table.

"I believe I haven't introduced myself, My name is Arie." I say hoping to myself that my name works as a guys.

"And I am former Queen Toriel." She curtsies.

"It is a pleasure to be in your presence Queen Toriel." I say bowing.

"Oh, there just isn't enough gentlemen like you down here Arie!" She giggles.

         This was great, I finally have gained trust over another monster that hasn't tried to kill me yet. I'm about to flatter Toriel some more but suddenly a fireball is hurled my way. I quickly duck as it flies into the fireplace. I pull out my scythe ready to battle. So much for gaining trust.

"I knew you weren't from around here the moment I saw you, so why don't you tell me who you really are!" She yells as she throws another fireball that seem to be coming out of her hands.

I dodge her fireball again. At least she knew I wasn't from around here by smell.

"I also know you're not from the Underground because you're too nice for a man like yourself! All of the men are rude and cruel to all women down here!" She cries again.

        Really? I am that convincing as a man? I thought it was clearly obvious that I wasn't. I hope not all monsters are this oblivious. I keep dodging the fireballs, barely missing and almost catching My cloak on fire.

"Look Toriel, you're the nicest monster that I've met and I don't want to hurt you let alone kill you!" I say panting. 

"That's a pretty big weapon you're carrying and powerful too, so why don't you use it!?!" She throws more fireballs.

         I keep dodging hoping that the fireballs all land in the fireplace and not anywhere near me or anything else.

"First off: this weapon is called a scythe, and second: I've only killed one monster with this and I hated doing that so please don't let me kill you!"

"Nonsense! Everybody loves to kill down here, especially me!" She sounded very unconvincing when she said that last sentence.

         I wasn't paying attention to what was happening in front of me and a fireball whizzed too close for comfort burning through the fabric of my cloak and robe exposing my skin which was the last thing I needed right now. I grabbed my arm and winced trying not to cry out in pain but slipped out a squeak. Toriel noticed the damaged she had done to me and saw my skin which caused her to become shocked and confused.

"W-what? But that's imposs―"

         I take this opportunity and run up to her with my blade at her neck. She sees the slight dustiness to the blade and looks back at me through the mask just like How Flowey did. She raises her hand ready to throw her last fireball.

"Please don't make me kill you like how I killed that Froggit just so I could cover myself in it's dust."

         Her mouth drops in shock and steps back a bit as I follow with a few steps forward. She falls to her knees making her the height of my shoulders. She lowers her hands and the fireballs disappear as sparks in the palm of her hands with her scared expression stuck on her face. I notice her eyes starting to water a bit.

"M-my child, you shouldn't have had to go through such a horrible experience such as that." She cries.

         Her voice was soft and soothing and calm just like a mother's. I lower my scythe and hug her trying not to cry myself. Hugging her felt like Hugging my own mom when I closed my eyes, I didn't realize how how much I missed my mom and broke down crying myself. She lifts her hands up and starts rubbing my back.

"Shhhh there there. Why don't we take that mask off so I can get a good look at your handsome smile."

I smiled a bit when she said the word 'handsome'. I take my mask off and pull of my hood and let my hair out has it falls back into place. Toriel gasps.

"You're a she!?! I'm so sorry, I mistook you as a gentleman! Forgive me!" She says as she covers her mouth in embarrassment.

"You're for given." I say smiling.

"Oh and your voice is so beautiful and not scratchy sounding! I hope imitating that other voice didn't harm your vocal chords at all!" She said worried.

"No, i'm fine. I actually was speaking normally the whole time!" I say excited.

         I show her my voice changer inside of my mask and let her try it out. She laughed for how funny she sounded and I did as well.

                                                      ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

         I told Toriel the story of how I fell down here and how Flowey had the idea of how I could stop smelling like a human, that part made her a bit angry about Flowey. I also told her the part where he left me at her front door because he didn't get a long with her. She seemed more irritated when I talked about Flowey so I changed the subject.

"...And that's how I ran into you and got in this mess." I finish.

She was about to ask me something but quickly stops herself. I noticed this and ask.

"What is it Toriel?"

"It's nothing." She tries to dismiss it.

"Come on, you can tell me anything." I say encouragingly.

She smiles at this and quickly finds the words to ask me.

"Arie, when you killed that Froggit...How did you feel? And please answer truthfully" She says worried for my response.

         I think back to the moment with Flowey and I staring at the pile of dust silently and focused on what I felt at the time. I didn't want to admit it, but I had to. I didn't want to be the real monster in this situation. I remembered the small feeling of joy when I saw that Froggit look at me in the eyes as it slowly turned to dust.

I looked away from Toriel and tried to say the words without breaking down into tears.

"A part of me enjoyed killing that Froggit and I don't know why! I'm sorry that I feel that way! I'm the real monster!" I sobbed.

I hug Toriel closer to me and bury my face into her chest and cry harder.

"It's okay Arie, that's just a side effect when you kill for the first time. But you acknowledged that feeling which is great, and i'm proud of you because of that!" She says happily.

"How is it great that I felt good about killing that poor innocent Froggit!?!" I say confused.

She lifts up my chin and looks directly into my eyes.

"Because if you had ignored that feeling and tired to bury deep down inside of you, It would've grown bigger and much more powerful and harder to control. That's what happened to most monsters down here. They bottled up all of their negative emotions until they could no longer control them and they became even more hungry to satisfy all those bad emotions."

I felt a bit better after Toriel's speech but I was still worried.

"What if I have to kill again and the feeling comes back?" I say scared.

She sighs.

"That feeling will come back, but as long as you embrace the fact that you are feeling this way, It will not grow. Remember that Arie."

I smile through my tears and hugged her one last time.

"Thank you Toriel."

"You're welcome, my child."
