All The Dead (Chara X Reader)

Chapter 9

×Chara's POV×

Needless to say I got bored really, really fast. With Y/n being asleep and the night passing by at an alarmingly slow rate, I had nothing to do but watch Y/n twist and turn in her slumber. She mumbled a few words, almost none of which I could make out. So, of course, I went back to Gaster. Cause what could possibly go wrong?

Unsurprisingly, Gaster was surrounded by flickering screens. I recognized some A.U.'s on them. Dreamtale, X-Tale, Underswap, Underfell, Errortale, the basics. Gaster was just staring at these screens like he had nothing better to do, which he probably didn't.

"Hey, Gaster." He smiled at me widely. I laughed as he came over and picked me up in a hug, tightly engulfing me. I hugged him back. "What's up Dad?" I stopped laughing. "O-Oh! I-I'm sorry, t-the hug reminded me of w-when dad-" Gaster cut me off with a chuckle.

"It is quite alright, child. You may call me dad if you wish." I blushed but smiled. Gaster was probably an amazing dad to Sans and Papyrus at one time.

"Thank you..." He put his hand on my shoulder gently. I closed my eyes with a slightly sad smile.

"I remember times like these with Asgore."

"Do you? I thought you would have forgotten those memories."

"No... I care about them, actually. I cherish them. He was different then, y'know?"

"Yes... He changed before meeting his end, if not for the worse. It is... Unfortunate, that he could not change for the better."

"Yeah..." I cleared my throat. "Welp, no point in dwelling on it!" I forced a smile.

"Yes, you are right. How is Y/n?" I blushed at the mention of that beautiful name. Gaster raised a non-existent eyebrow at my face. In response, I glared at him, earning a slight chuckle. "Is there something you want to tell me, Chara?" He asked with that playfulness in his voice. I shook my head with a smile.

"Nope. She's doing great." I replied casually. Another chuckle. "What's so funny?" Gaster clasped my shoulder again.

"You cannot hide it, Chara."

"Hide what? I've got nothin' to hide."

"It is painfully obvious." I sighed in defeat.

"Fine. You got me. But don't get any ideas." Gaster laughed and nodded. I pouted and pretended to look at the time. "Welp, look at the time! I should probably leave." Cue another nod from Gaster.

"Goodbye, my child." I couldn't help but smile at his comment. Although I had wanted to go to get away from my feelings, I spared a moment to hug Gaster tightly. He hugged me as well, making me even more happy.

"Thank you, dad." I mumbled into his shirt... Thing. He released me and waved before turning back to his screens.

I appeared back in the "real world" with Y/n by my side. She was asleep, as I had assumed, and turned toward me. I smiled and laid next to her, and she immediately hugged me. I squirmed around and got comfortable facing Y/n and cuddled with her.

This is the life. I thought to myself with a metal giggle. In not even 5 minutes I had fallen asleep, cuddling with Y/n.

When I woke up my eyes wondered to Y/n's. She was awake by now, and staring at me with a cute little smile on her face. After she noticed my open eyes a crimson blush hit her cheeks and she turned away. I giggled and pulled her closer.

"Y-You're warm..." Y/n mumbled against me. I nodded and held her head, which was against my chest. Without thinking I kissed her forehead. "C-Chara...?" She asked wearily.

×Your POV×

"C-Chara...?" Chara looked down at me as I looked up at them. My face was a deep red, but Chara seemed relaxed. It was beautiful. They were so calm in this situation, I loved them for those little details. They're calmness.

I stared into their brown eyes, and they stared back. Suddenly I moved up and kissed their cheek, pulling away with a smile. I could just make out a pinkish tint on their cheeks as I pulled away from Chara entirely. It didn't take much for me to miss their warmth, but I ignored the longing in my chest.

Chara was still staring at me, not that I minded them doing so. Sometimes I just wanted to know what they were thinking. They were so stoic, it was hard to imagine what they were thinking. Was it about me? Was it good?

"You know Y/n..." I snapped out of my thoughts at the sound of Chara's voice. They were still smiling, though it was hard to see. They opened their mouth to say something, but shook their head instead. "I'm happy I met you." They told me.

"I'm happy I met you, too." Chara smiled gently and stood up as well. They motioned for me to follow them as they grabbed their bag. I threw on my sweater and grabbed my own belongings and ran after Chara. And so begins another day.
