YOU (Undertale/Deltarune AU)

11

"Sweet holy mother of Marian the sacred virgin birthed from the fires of fresh Hell, you've been gone twenty minutes, and this is what you come back like?" Seam's reaction, whilst seemingly genuine, brought a smile to pretty much everyone's face. How could one man be so extra yet serious at the same time? It was truly a power to be mastered. "What happened to you?"

The King grabbed Seam by the shoulders and stage whispered "never challenge sushi," in his ears.

"Got our arses handed to us by a fish lady and a robot."

"Damn thing definitely doesn't skip leg day, I'll tell you that." The King grumbled, resigned. "Where's Ralsei? We need healing. Also that Hathy's dead and I'm not gonna go collect his body."

With a flourish, the King left the room, with Rouxls following behind, presumably to find Ralsei and stop their injuries getting worse.

"How they can be so casual about things like that is beyond me." Seam said to a Rudinn, who was just doing her best.

"Truly." A familiar voice stung Seam in the soul. He cringed, daring turn to face it. "What's wrong? Did you miss me? You haven't been wallowing in you're own self pity since the day you betrayed and abandoned me in cold blood, have you? That's just sad."

"Jevil."

Seam turned around just to make sure he wasn't having auditory hallucinations. He wasn't the crazy type, but you never know. Sure enough, there was Jevil, leaning on a wall. Gaster was behind him, smiling. As was Jevil, but that wasn't anything new.

"Both if you wipe those shit eating grins off your faces. This isn't anything to be smug about."

"It's a code red situation, Seam." Jevil didn't wipe that grin off his face, to no surprise. "You neeeeed me. You can't exactly send me back out, half the people in here don't even know who I am."

"You can't be here." Seam finally figured out what he wanted to say, and placed both and on Jevil's shoulders and shook him a bit. "You're dangerous."

"Am I the thing that's been going around causing death and destruction just for my own entertainment?" Jevil asked, not seemingly to realise that that was exactly who he was.

"Yes, you are." Seam let go of Jevil, and started pacing, something he did when he was nervous. Who knew what could happen with Jevil out of his cage? It could go from code red to code hell in five seconds. "How did you even get out?"

"The tall, slightly threatening skeleton freed me again. I was enlightened on the rules of this world, again. I know now who the real threat is. I've already met it actually. It's named You, right? I threw a spade at it. Hey, is true you punched this guy in the face?"

"Yeaaahhh, how do you know about that?"

"The prince told me. He's a nice kid." Jevil started moving suddenly. "I'm gonna go harass some people for giggles. Bye~"

Seam stared after him, unable to tell if he really was seeing things or not. That was the thing with Jevil. Anytime anything important was to be said to him, he vanished. In Seam's case, he at least wanted to apologise, though he didn't really know why. But Jevil was gone before he could even fathom what had just happened.

He turned to Gaster. "Do you know who that is?"

"Very much so. We've met before. The reason he was in his little freedom is because of me." Gaster said, as casually as he was talking about the weather.

"I know that." Seam said. He would've rolled his eyes if he had both of them left and the remaining one wasn't a button. "Why'd you let him out? Do you have any idea what he can do?"

"Of course I do. That's why I did it."

"Are you insane?"

"There is a very large possibility I might, in fact, be insane, yes." Gaster patted Seam on the shoulder. "I'll think you'll find that he'll be the answer we're all looking for."

Seam had no idea what that meant. He didn't want to know what that meant. But before he could ask, whether he wanted to or not, Gaster was gone.
