Internal Suffering

Tacos

We talked while we walked to my house, which was on the other side of Snowdin. Soon, we were in a pun war!

Me and him making good and bad puns, laughing and snorting! It was amazing, even if people gave us confused looks. For once... I didn't care...

"Come on, we still have so much time before we have to part!" I whined, pulling him in the house as I opened the door.

"Alright." He shrugged, not minding it. 

"Hey br-" Paps was about to say, but instantly stopped when he saw Dust. His eyelights went out as he coughed.

"Hi, Papy!" I shouted, smiling brightly as I took notice Alphys was there too along with Undyne. "Hi Undyne, Hi Alphys!" I giggled softly as I lead Dust to the last chair.

"Ya sure, kid?" He raised an eyebrow, to which I nodded. 

"Of course! The guests always get a seat first!" I called out, going to sit on the floor, but I guess he had other ideas. 

He wrapped an arm around me small waist and pulled me into his lap. Well, I was seated in between his legs, with his arms calmly wrapped around my waist. It was lose enough for me to feel comfortable and breathe, but tight enough that I couldn't escape. 

I giggled at his tacics, which I found cute!

"So, bro... Who's this?" The way that everyone was staring at me, I was confused... Did they know him? Well Undyne of course! But that's because of her cameras. 

"Oh! This is Dust! He's a new friend of mine!" I chirped, twisting slightly to give him a hug. 

He smirked and tightened his hold slightly in a way to give me a hug. I made a gentle purring sound, nuzzling into his chest. 

"Hey, bro why don't you go make us some tacos?" The lazy bones of a brother asked, taking a puff of death sticks. 

"Okay!" I cheered as Dust let me. 

I quickly rushed over to the kitchen, grabbing everything that I needed. I wasn't going to make these bad... I was going to make them the best of the best! I wanted Dust to like them... He's real with me... I can trust him...

I quickly got a large plate with hard taco shells on them. Once I knew the meat was good and done, I started filling everything! It was the quickest I have ever been done!

I hurried to the kitchen door, but stopped when I heard them talking...

"Why not? He's a pretty cute, innocent too... And a good actor, so good that not even his own brother can see through it." Dust laughed out, it not like his usual laugh... It was harsh... cold...

It frightened me... It sounded like Frisk's laugh when I submit to her... But worse... It's like he had lost all his sanity... Like he was just barely here... Reacting on instincts first...

Shaking my head I hopped into the living room. Dust smiled calmly at me and I returned it with one of my own... A real one...

I placed the large plate down, nodding happily. My friend grabbed one and took a bite, I awaited nervously for his response... 

He quickly finished it and grabbed another. I felt joy swallow me as well as pride as my bro and the girls took one of their own. They took a bite and froze... 

"Now that's just rude. Say something." Dust encouraged, a small bit of laughter in his tone. 

My bro glared at my friend, earning a small one back.

"You did amazing, Blue. They're the best of the best." My bro gave me smile, a smile I saw through. 

He was confused... Confused on how I was acting... Confused on how my tacos for once were well...
