Behind What Was Seen (Undertale Fanfiction)

...now, don't wake up..

Asriels p.o.v

I was dreaming I think about being in waterfall.. the bright blue water shining through the dark surroundings. I see me and Chara playing and splashing, running and chasing each other, bypassing the echo flowers as they capture our laughter. But all comes to end, while I watch Chara run and the floor beneath her begins to become water like, and with step she takes she goes further and further sinking in. She looks back me in horror, I reach out to her but she is completely taking in by that point. I scream in agony, but you don't hear a sound. Then I'm choking on water, and I see charas body floating above me. She looks more pale than usual, and buttercups run through her mouth and eyes leaving me to see a gruesome sight. Her lifeless body leaving a trail of thin blood floating from her as she sinks to the bottom. I reach out for her, but am paralyzed by something, I couldn't even scream to her.

I wake up surprisingly calmly, though very startled by the dream. I'm not sure how long I've been asleep, or what time it is. Still tired, I try to go back to sleep.. but it's just.. so cold.. I struggle to get warm, but something prevents me from doing so. I hold myself even under the blanket, nothing seems to work.
I try to shrug it off, until I realize I didn't go to bed alone. I turn over immediately and find Chara sound asleep.. but that's also where the cold is coming from. I put my hand on her forehead, and she isn't running a fever anymore.. she's just, cold..
"Chara..? Wake up.."
I look around, and I see mom left some soup. Though it's cold I offer to chara anyway.
"Look, mom made some soup."
I shake her a bit, but she doesn't move.
Panic spreads through me.

I lean in close to hear if she's breathing, it's very faint and cold. A small drift of relief makes way to me, but I'm still very worried.
She has dried blood coming from her nose, and her cheeks are very pale.
"Chara please.. wake up.." I beg her trying not to cry again.

She moves a small bit, but groans approach's as each movement she makes causes her pain.
"Az...zy.."
She says very soft and weakly.
"Chara, you need to eat something. You look awful.." I open her mouth, and put the cold soup in her mouth. It just sits as it falls out the sides and wetting the pillow.
"C'mon chara.."
I clean her up, and she groans as I move her a bit.
"Azzy.. let me.."
She coughs a fit like I've never seen, and blood splatters through the air as her fist tries to conceal it. She wails in pain, and I try to comfort her.
"Just.. let me go Azzy.. it hurts.. so much.."
I gently pull the covers on her, and hold her face delicately.
"I will do everything possible to keep you here.. I need you.."
She sighs, and seems to fall back asleep with that said. I watch her sleep for a moment, then I decide I would go and clean her face off.
I get a warm towel and wipe her face gently as I remove the blood.
I begin to cry for no reason. Maybe the thought my only friend is on her death bed causes me to cry, or maybe that she's suffering to no end..
I'm powerless to stop it..
I close my eyes a bit even though I felt well rested, and still having no track of time, I drift off.

I wake up once more to a hand gently shaking me and getting my attention.
I jolt up, I turn over and see chara smiling lazily.
"What's the matt-"

"Asriel..."
"...Chara..?"
"You're.. the only one... I truly cared about.. you know that.. right..?"
I felt puzzled.. what is trying to get at.
"Chara, what do you-"

Despite her pain, she sits up and places a kiss, not on my cheek this time, but where I sometimes see mom and dad kiss.
