When I'm With You (Asriel X Reader Fanfiction)

FUN: 66

Here's a little prequel to all the things that happened. It's going to be short, so please don't be angry at me if it is not long enough. If you don't remember, go back to "...Dreaming..." to see what I'm talking about here. 

Also, this may or may not be an experimental chapter to test out different POVs other than yours, Asriel's, and Frisk's POV. Tell me what other POVs you want me to write in. If I do not happen to choose yours, please don't spam and forgive me ;-;. I'm trying my best here, okie...?

Gaster's POV

Dark, darker, yet darker.

The darkness keeps growing.

The shadows cutting deeper.

Photon readings negative.

This next experiment seems very...

Very...

Interesting...

I've been here for an eternity. Time doesn't seem to pass by that much. I don't know anything. My name, my family, my life. All gone with a flash of light. How I wish I could at least know a little something about me..? Here I was, standing in the never-ending darkness, seeming to never get out. Yet, no matter how much I wanted to get out of this miserable place, I could never. I mean, I tried, yes, but nothing ever works. In the VOID, it's better to just give up and stay here the rest of your days. Just give up, I have. Everything here is just a useless piece of shi-

"Oh, hello Dr. Gaster!" A voice said suddenly out of nowhere, snapping me out of my thoughts. It sounded oh so familiar, but I just can't put my finger on it. I couldn't see where it came from so I just turned around 360, seeing nothing but pitch black darkness. They giggled the sound echoing off the endless void. "Hehehe, you can't see me. I guess I should reveal myself then..."

Appearing out of the corner of my eye, I saw a blur go past me and disappear. It was greenish-yellowish, their somewhat hair brown and face pink. Something was glowing in their hand, the light it emitted reflected in my eyes. A red glow then appeared in front of me taking a shape of a creepy smile. "Greetings, I am Chara." They giggled, a knife pointing at me in their hand. I hadn't even noticed it to be honest; just its reflection in my eyes. Were they going to kill me? If they were, let them. I have nothing in my life, so why care... "If you think I'm going to kill you, think again." They grinned as if they could read my thoughts.

"What do you want?" I snapped, not wanting this conversation go any longer. I had no need to talk to this individual, though I had been lonely for quite some time. I'd rather just stay here, sulking in my own miserable thoughts. Okay, that makes me sound like an emo. Just, ignore all of that. "Why are you here?"

"Name's Chara, like I said. I just want to make a simple deal. A win-win situation." They suggested, raising their shoulders, dropping their knife on the floor. "Have you ever wondered what your life was like before this? Before you got stuck in this miserable, never-ending darkness?"

That got my attention right away. Of course I wanted to have back my memories, which is basically what they are referring to. I could know what my life was before, what I missed out on. My mind filled with the possibilities: did I have a family who I loved, children who I cared for. Did I have a job like any other, a scientist of some sort? Wow, wouldn't that be great...but then, what's the catch? If I were to get my memories back, what would they ask in return? "Of course, you want something in return, don't you?" I sighed, turning to go away, not risking anything if the price would be bad.
