The Guardians/Kris x Susie: Chapter 1 - Part 1

Home...?

S/F: Come on in! Make yourself at home.

The man walked towards his house. Susie was confused, whilst Kris was curious how he knew who his parents were. Snapping back to reality(There goes gravity), they slowly walked to the house. In a whisper, Susie spoke:

S: He isn't usually like this..

K: Don't tell me he drinks all the time.

S: No, no! Well...nearly all the time. Those times are usually when I'm at school, so I don't see that often.

K: If I had my Jevilsknife, I'd straighten him out. But then again...

The two entered the house. It didn't look too bad. Almost like a normal house interior, but not necessarily.

S/F: I have some stuff in the fridge, so settle.

K: So, hope you don't mind, but what happened with you and my parents?

S/F: Nothing! Me and your father were best buddies, even after college! However, when you were born, they started showing up later. But you were no trouble too big. You got along perfectly with the other scientists. You liked them, and they liked you back. But one day, they resigned, and never came back. We figured you left with them to Europe.

K: They left to..Europe?

S/F: Yep. Never said where specifically, and never came back.

K: And they didn't say why?

S/F: Nope. But for the last few days, they got more and more sad. You were sad too, so we thought you understood what was happening.

K: They were planning to kill me.

S/F: What?

K: Too much power. They thought I would one day betray them. A couple Monsters thought otherwise.

S/F: Who?

K: Toriel and Asgore Dreemurr.

S/F: Such a nice pair. We lost track of them after the Lab shut down, so I haven't seen them much.

K: They thought it was unnecessary to kill me. The four fought, and finally, they gave up and tossed me to the Dreemurrs. I've lived with them ever since.

S/F: You don't look much like your father, but you have a specific...look.

S: Imagine what would happen if you met them again.

K: That'd be a day to remember.

S/F: Here, let me get you a drink. You prefer anything?

K: Coca Cola.

S/F: Got it.

K: You never did tell me your name.

S/F: It's Joshua.

Joshua handed the drink to Kris.

S: You seem happier today.

J: Suppose it's a good day.

K: There's a formal event today, so we came to get her clothes.

J: Well, you go get them.

Susie nods and walks out the room and up a flight of stairs.

K: Ok, what's going on?

Joshua bows down his head, in a mood of dispair, grief, and shame.

J: I..just want what's best for her. I just want her to be happy, but the alcohol..takes control. I never mean to, but I'm just hurt from that day.

K: You ain't decent, but you gotta get off from it.

J: I'm trying. I want to be there for her, but I can't even help myself.

K: If you aren't gonna help her, then I'd gladly do it for you.

Joshua lifts his head in shock.

J: You would?

K: Absolutely, but you have to save yourself from the drinking. You aren't the greatest, but I sure as hell see a good light in you.

Joshua's eyes tear up in joy. Like it's the happiest thing he's heard in years. At the same time, Susie come down carrying a bag over her shoulder.

S: Ok, I have my clothes.

J: Sweetheart?

S: Yes, Dad?

Joshua takes a breath in and out. He doesn't seem prepared for it, but to help her, he must help himself.

J: Me and Kris have decided on some things.

S: What is it?

J: I need to heal from the addiction, so you must stay with him for a while.

S: Seriously?

Susie seemed taken back by the deed.

K: Serious.

J: It is how it must be.

Susie walked over and hugged her father. Her eyes welled up with tears while Kris slowly formed a small smile. They departed from the hug as they both teared up. They both wiped away the tears.

J: Go on. Pack your things before I change I mind.

Susie nodded and went off to grab her things.

K: You know, you aren't a bad man.

Joshua looked over to Kris.

K: You just have bad luck.

J: Too true.

Kris gave a small chuckle.

J: What's funny?

K: You're gonna my father in-law soon.

Joshua gave a small laugh.

J: You little shit.

They both laughed for a moment.

J: Well, whatever happens, I'll be more than happy to let you have her. Just don't do anything bad to her, or God help me, I'll break you worse then a damn twig.

K: You have my promise.

J: And don't try anything funny with her.

K: Wasn't planning on it.

J: Unless she-

S: Ok, I'm finished!

Susie walked into the room.

Kris slowly laughed.

S: What's so funny?

K: N..nothing. Nothing to worry about.

Susie was curious, but didn't mind it. Susie hugged her father one last time.

S: Are you gonna be ok while I'm away?

J: I'm practically doing it for you, so I'm sure I'll be ok.

Susie departed.

S: I love you.

J: I love you too.

Kris and Susie walked towards the door.

K/S: Bye!

J: Goodbye.

They walked out the door, leaving Joshua behind. They started walking down the street.

K: He seems cool.

S: Yeah, he kinda is.

They proceeded down the street, leaving the street...
