"So who was that skeleton?" you asked, leaning against Undyne as she searched the grocery store shelves for whatever it was she needed. She had dressed you and dragged you out by your elbow, not trusting you to be safe if you were left alone. You hadn't asked why she thought you would be unsafe, you trusted that she had what was best for you in mind.
Well... you also really, really, r e a l l y, hated being alone.
"that... was..." she trailed off, leaning closer to the shelf, and hummed. She grabbed McCormick dried basil and put it in the basket with juniper, lavender oil, and a bouquet of white roses.
"that was cosmo. he and his brother are from space." Your eyes went wide at that, but she continued on as if she hadn't blown your mind, "do you know if they have eucalyptus here? maybe we'll just have to settle for eucalyptus oil..." she tapped her bottom lip with a finger, her sharp, dark red nails were especially noticeable against her sickly pale blue green skin. "hm."
You almost jerked backwards when Undyne dropped her shopping basket with a loud Bang! and pulled you into a rib creaking hug.
"You idiot. You absolute idiot, you should have called me as soon as you were able to!" Undyne wailed as loud as she dared, shaking softly. You slowly hugged her back, shocked and worried for your cousin.
"Sorry 'Dyne."
"dont. don't you dare apologize, what happened wasn't your fault. do you hear me?" she pulled back, but gripped your shoulders tightly, shaking you, a glare on her face, "Not. Your. Fault."
"Yeah." You mumbled, not looking her in the eye, "But sometimes it feels like it is."
