But Lightning Answered

Wandering the maze like halls of the coucil's headquarters the underfeller was lost in thought, and the matter at hand left a scowl on his face.
To say that Red was nervous was a understatement. Something in his mind told him that it was the worst idea he ever had.
And it was.
But Blue's well being was something he was willing to fight for. He had grown attached to him, he subverted all of his expectations, the blue clad skeleton seemed to be able to go past anyone's mask, it was both frightening and comforting. So to see the other so unbalanced last time ? It was worrying to the highest of degree. And he couldn't do shit about it.

"Can we have a talk ?"

But someone else he knew could. Sure it wasn't the safest and there were rumors about the other being insane and a traitor, though it stayed that, rumors. With not a hint of Truth.

"We may."

Gesturing the taller over he lead them to a safe place to talk. Using the time to get there to reflect a bit on the choice he just made. Dream would have been the best option, but he couldn't trust the other at a hundred percent with not telling Stretch about everything and Blue needed privacy more than anything, a thing that he knew Stretch wasn't willing to give. But this guy behind him ? He wouldn't even tell he stole a candy even if the Destroyer was threatening him. More then once he saw him refusing to tell Ink information about his AU's situation, Never even trying to defend his case. Just refusing and standing tall before the eyes of everyone and a pretty done with everything Ink, if that wasn't a good reason to trust him on this.

"What is the matter ?"
They had arrived before he realised it, he turned around and faced the other. It was going to be a long explanation.

And it was indeed long but to his relief the taller was great at listening and they would hopefully finally go somewhere.

"So you suspect PTSD from his kidnapping, familial tension and a breaking point way closer then you would have expected."

"Yes, I'm worried he might do something drastic, even if he doesn't have a lot of power loose magic could do some pretty messed up shit."

"And you want me of all people to play the therapist ? That is close to being hilarious."

"I'm not joking! You know why I went to you so stop right now and take this seriously for fuck's sake !!-"

He stopped as a large gloved hand rubbed his skull tenderly, mismatched snake like eyelights looking into his own.

"Sorry for that, but i had to see how it was truly affecting you. I hope you can forgive me."
The hand left.

"Now you can rest assured that I will make his case my priority, thank you for trusting me sans."

Having the other call him by his real name was his proof to the other's sincerity. Now he knew that Blue would get better but something felt wrong deep inside him. So he asked.

"Why did you really agree ?"
"Because you got me the proof that there is still hope for the future, friend."

Something was showing through the other's eyes, it really should have worried him but he knew the other, he trusted him.

But maybe, just maybe. . .
He shouldn't have.

Author's Notes.

Hell-lo !!

Okay short and quick chapter but I am still setting up the ground work for later chapters, so expect a few more of those.
Also introducing my AU in this, it will be different than the original one since knowledge of the multiverse would effect him, and if some worries that he's going to take over Blue's spot on the story I got you covered, he will play a big part but Blue IS and WILL stay the main character. You can see that chapter as a sort of prologue for what's to come and I am going to have so much fun!! I just love stories with hidden motives and emotional manipulation playing big parts so expect that a lot
Blue's character is in my opinion a wild electron to play with, it's like in his core personality to be so maleable, open to interpretation.
So yeah fun time for everybody coming up next chapter. I promise it will be longer.
Hope you enjoyed and I may see you next chapter !!

Also sorry for taking so long i traveled to another country for half year then my laptop died, i also wanted to wait until i had a better view of the story as a whole in my head. thank you guys for being so patient with me.
