In And Out (a deltarune fanfic)

Chapter 18: A Bad Dream

Susie had a dream. Not a good one, sadly. Whenever she had dreams, they were normally terrible, and tonight was no exception. She tossed and turned in bed, hoping to wake up or atleast have a different dream. Susie finally woke up in a cold sweat, breathing strangely out of fear.

She soon calmed down a little and thought of why she would dream of such a thing. A sudden realization hit her, Azzy, why... She thought. He'd reminded her. She wasn't mad at him, it wasn't his fault that he didn't know. So many questions clouded her mind.

Is this just my life now? Will I ever get over this? How long until then? How are the rest of the family doing? Should I go back to the darkworld...?

She thought about the last one, Susie seemed to like that idea. She soon remembered what lancer had said long ago... 'they say that I... Need a queen?' well, maybe she could help with getting one. She thought of the darkworld, she'd ask Kris to go back tomorrow. Susie went to sleep, with a better dream, none at all.

With Asriel...

Asriel heard a sound from the next room over; Susie's. He wondered what could've happened, and finally remembered what she had said. Did- did I do that? I'm really sorry. He thought. He stared at Kris who was sleeping across the room from him. Unlike Kris, though, he was a light sleeper. Any sound would wake him up instantly, even just footsteps from the hallway. Kris probably couldn't heard the little moans from the next room over, but he could. Asriel decided to sleep again, then check on her in the morning.

It was the next morning, no one had gotten a great sleep, especially Asriel. First, he heard Susie next-door and she didn't sound too happy. He was worried for his new sister, if only he hadn't brought it up, even if she wasn't being very loud in the next room. He couldn't sleep thinking about it, atleast, not well. Also, it was his first night back and he wasn't used to the bed he had slept in the past night.

Susie came out of her room the moment Asriel went out of his. They both looked tired, staring at eachother for a minute and smiling. This was, to them, the perfect family they could want. A mother and three children, a little brother, middle sister, and oldest, brother. Anyways, they realised they were staring at eachother. It felt really awkward...

"So... How'd ya sleep?" Susie finally asked, smirking at him.

"Uh, not great..."

"How come?"

"Well..." He didn't want to sound rude, but it was the truth, "I heard you, last night in your room. It didn't sound good, are you okay?"

The young monster realised that she had been louder than expected last night, "Oh! Sorry, I couldn't sleep well last night, either. Was I being too loud?" She asked, looking up at him slightly guiltily.

"No, not at all! It's just that I'm a really light sleeper... And, about you not sleeping great... Did I have anything to do with it?"

She looked at him, confused on why he'd think that. Yeah, he brought it up, but how was he supposed to know? She then responded, "Nah, it's fine. It's okay. Just, try not to bring it up much, unless it's urgent or something, 'kay?" She smiled.

"Alright, thanks... I'm still sorry, though!"

"Don't sweat it!" She walked off and made her way downstairs. Asriel followed, not bothering to wake up Kris beforehand. How does this not bother her? He pondered, I... I just don't get it. Shouldn't she be... I dunno, but not like this, not fine. Well, I hope she stays happy, anyways!

Everyone had breakfast, other than Kris who was still asleep.

"Ugh, that boy would sleep forever if it weren't for us!" Toriel groaned, walking upstairs to get him.
