Determination (Charisk) [OUTDATED]

5 - SNOWY

(FRISK POV)

Pffffffffffftttttttttt. Wow.
"heh, they fall for it every time. i'm sans, sans the skeleton." He seemed nice, I feel awkward around Chara but I don't know why. sans looked at him and tensed up but I'm sure it was nothing, maybe just cold, after all... if he did notice Chara, the world would be reset already. That's a scary thought. One minute you are fine, the next. Nothing, if only but a second, pure and utter nothingness.
"come on kid, my brother made this gate too wide to be effective, you can just walk right through." We walked through, Chara even more so. Why can't I stop looking at Chara? Sans must have noticed I was 'spacing out' when he said: "eyes on the road, kid. don't want ya fallin off." He seemed nonchalant but still a little frazzled. Did he see Chara? His jacket is warm and I like his shirt. I still don't know why I keep drawing my attention to him. We our way a clearing where there was a hot dog stand, a tall lamp, and a turned up pile of dirt and snow. Me and Chara looked at each other. sans stomped down the pile of dirt in and snow and acted like nothing happened.
     "hey kid, hide behind that conveniently shaped lamp." Wow, if I were to squat down this is a perfectly shaped lamp, convenient. Anyway, I did what I was told and soon after that, a tall, lanky skeleton walked through the clearing and started shouting.
     "SANS YOU LAZY BONES, DO YOU EVER DO YOUR JOB?"
     "i was taking a nap."
     "FOR THREE HOURS?"
     "yup."
     "HAVE YOU EVEN DONE ANYTHING ALL DAY?"
     "i've done a ton of work. a skeleton."
     "UGGG, YOU INFURIATE ME ON AN EMOTIONAL LEVEL. JUST YOU WAIT UNTIL I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS,CATCH A HUMAN AND BECOME A ROYAL GUARDSMAN! NYEH HEH HEH!" The two bickered like this for about another ten minutes. Me and Chara were very close together during that time. After Papyrus left, sans started up again.
     "hey kid, you can come out now. and hey, play along with my brother pap, he has been down in the dumps lately and i want him to cheer up." It's nice to know even monsters can care for their siblings and family. If only I had that luxury up on the surface. Anyway I had that same tugging feeling in my core, or rather in my SOUL. It led me all the way to a shard, that glittered in the light of the glowing ice crystals above. I have no idea what the shard was made of, or why my SOUL led me to it, but I could feel, if for only an instant, my essence and the world around me in this little shard. The yellow shard had a tiny image of a snowflake on both sides now. Odd. I felt compelled to put it down Chara was looking tired.
"Hey, you okay?"
"Keeping something simple, even an article of clothing, physical really takes all the energy out of you" He was breathing pretty hard at this point.
     "Here, take back your jacket, I don't want you wearing yourself out."
     "But you said you were col—"
     "No buts! That's an order, mister!" He sighed.
     "Yes ma'am." He put his jacket on and it became translucent once again. He sighed in relief.
. . .
Me and Chara were walking through this winter wonderland exchanging dumb, cheesy pickup lines, we both laughed at them. We got to an area which was open and by this point, papyrus had already seen me while he was setting up a puzzle which we finally arrived at now.
"HUMAN, IT IS I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, AND I, WITH RHE HELP OF THE GREAT DR. ALPHYS, A TILE PUZZLE." He then explained a whole bunch of complicated rules which I didn't understand. He finally pulled the switch and it was a straight shot to the end. That was easy. Anyway, me and Chara moved forward, we played a game of 20 questions. I asked first.
"Favorite color?"
"Definitely yellow. Hmm. Favorite video game?"
"Final Fantasy, doesn't really matter which one.. Favorite animal?"
"Goats—"
"You seem a bit biased there Chara~"
"So?? You got a crush? Maybe even a boyfriend on the surface?" My face flushed at the thought.
"N-not at all..." I had no idea why that question was so hard to answer. I knew for a fact that the answer was no, yet... why was I so unsure of myself? "Well... What's your full name?" Chara flinched. I bet it's really embarrassing.
"*sigh* Charaline. My full name is Charaline James Dremurr." I started laughing.
     "Who names their kid Charaline?"
     "I don't know! Who names their kid Frisk?"
     "Touché."

(CHARA POV)

We made it to snowdin town, I remember this place vaguely. We stopped in by a shop, Frisk tried using human currency. The shop keep stopped her and said:
"We don't use that down here. Here. I'll be nice and exchange you 25g for every 'Alian' you have." Frisk said ok and soon the exchange was done. Frisk now had 1,325g in her wallet...pouch...thing. We bought a single bicicle and split it. Took a bite and said
"It kind of tastes like sea salt." She always had this obsession with the flavor of food.
"Hey Frisky,"
"Y-yeah?"
"You seem to like cooking, what's up with that?"
"Oh! I've always liked cooking, the way that the subtlest of details can drastically change the way food tastes, it's fun to cook too." She had a big grin on her face. I'm glad to see that, it makes me happy to know she's happy. I must have smiled back because she is smiling and laughing, and now I'm smiling and laughing, too. Her brown hair bobbing up and down to her shoulders, her blue and magenta sweater really accents her eyes. Accually , now that I'm thinking about it, I've never accually looked at her eyes well. I grabbed her chin and moved it up so that we were making eye contact. She stopped laughing and started to blush.
"W-what are you doing, C-Chara?" Red. Just like mine. We looked into each other's eyes for what felt like a century, when it was probably only 30 seconds or so. I squished her cheeks together and said:
"Just lookin at your pretty lil' face ya' goober." Then I walked away.
. . .

(FRISK POV)

Um, what? Pretty face? I could tell I was blushing because a few people were looking at me. I... what? So many questions, Charaline. And then he just walked away! Like it was nothing! I hid my face mostly in my sweater and tried to catch up with Chara.
"Hey! What was that all about?" My cheeks bright red.
"What? I was just taking a good look." Sarcastic dick. I'm angry, confused, embarrassed, and yet he plays it off like nothing!
"You've got some explainin' to do, mister."
"I wanted to see your eyes." What?
"My eyes?" I could tell my face was bright red, glowing even, at this point.
"They're are red, just like mine." I guess I never realized we had the same color eyes, maybe his are a little darker. Why are his eyes so enchanting? I couldn't help but stare. "Now look who's staring." He had a smirk on his face, I stammered and tripped over my own tongue.
"I— wha- I wasn't... I mean I was but- Oh never mind! Come along, you. We have places to be." I dragged him by his 'nonexistent' arm all the way to a very foggy area.
