It

It has been a few days since the camping trip, not nearly long enough to get over a friend’s death. Toriel is starting to worry, you won’t talk, and you only ever leave your room at night, to eat, go somewhere alone, or to use the bathroom.

You… You just need to calm down, tonight maybe, just maybe, can be the last night where you leave the house to go run and collect your thoughts. Each night you end up going farther and farther from home, it won’t be any different tonight.

Despite better judgment you decide to go out again, just this last time…

You are running, staying in your wolf form so you can go faster, further, and be safer. The hunters can tell who is a werewolf even just seeing them in their human form, it’s better to stay in the from you can run faster in.

The trees are passing by you very quickly, the feeling of soft ground under your paws feels nice… but it’s not enough, you need to go further, go faster. You need to escape that horrible feeling of your heart being ripped apart, torn to shreds, and clumsily being sewn together again.

Your vision is blurring, is it the speed you are going? Or the tears in your eyes?

You don’t get the chance to find out, you trip, you fall, are you rolling? Oh, it looks like you are heading towards a rock, with the position you’re in it looks as if it will hit your- Yup, there it is.

Before you pass out you transform into a human again, if there is the possibility of being found you want to be found looking human.

…

When you wake up again Sans is there standing above you. There is pain in your leg, did he do this?

Out of habit you instantly try to get in a position where you can fight him, but you forgot about the leg that you are now putting a good amount of weight on. You fall, and howl in pain.

“Whoa, buddy… c’ mon I need ya to calm down.”

…

“Yeah, good, so… I guess I should take you to Tori now, she got really scared when you weren’t there in the morning, I doubt that having that mangled leg of yours will make her stop worrying...“ He pauses while looking at your leg, he looks a bit uncomfortable, ”Ugh kid, what did you do to yourself, the bone is showing… ok hang on, I’m taking a short cut”

When Toriel sees you she gets very worried… It is understandable with the state you’re in…

Turns out you broke your tibia and it will take a few weeks to heal without the use of magic, but with the help of magic you have about two week until the bone is fixed. The worst part of it is that when Toriel can’t take care of you or has to leave the house she calls Sans, the puns about your leg got very annoying after the first one.

“Aww c’ mon kid it’s going tibia be okay.”

“No, NO more puns, you are not allowed!”

“Oh so you can talk, good I was dying to ask you what the heck happened.” You know that look in Sans’ eyes now that you have finally said something, he won’t give up until you tell him, no matter how long it takes.

“Tori told me you’ve been leaving at night, you wanna tell me where you’re going?”

“Not really, no.”

Sans’ left eye changes from a white light to a small blue flame and his right eye becomes hollow and black.

“Okay then, if you won’t answer that question answer this next one. Where did you go the first time? Before the camping trip, because Tori told me that took much longer. Now kid, I know you said that a part of you didn't want to hurt us, but that's just a part.”

You know what he’s implying. There’s a cold sweat on your back and the hairs on the back of your neck raise. Without thinking you swipe, you swipe at him with your claws out of pure primal instinct. Sans of course is able to dodge it, for that you’re glad, your last save was the night you found Mel, going back would be too painful.

Before you two can continue Toriel comes in the room, she must have just gotten home.

“Hello Frisk, Sans. So Frisk I got you something, would you like to come see it?”

You follow Toriel to the door where you see a fish tank filled with several items that probably don’t belong in one. Paper, a bowl, a water bottle, a wheel, and a small plastic igloo? What's it for?

Something small and mouse like comes out of the house, looking up at you in confusion…

…

You probably should have known it was a rodent.

“I saw him at the store and fell in love, I thought he would make a great friend for you so I got him!”

…

“…What is it?” you ask in genuine confusion, it looks like a mouse, but if so it would be a very fat one.

Sans, you forgot he was here, bursts out in laughter…Are those tears you see?

“Hahaha, wow, you seriously don’t know what that is?”

He wipes a tear, he was crying! You shake your head, feeling annoyed.

“T-That’s a hamster, how do you not know what that is? Ask me how, and I’ll tell ya, I don’t know, but somehow they got underground, down there and up here they are popular pets, have you seriously never seen one?”

“No, I haven’t, now stop laughing!” you are getting really embarrassed, you can feel your face heating up.

After Sans leaves Toriel takes the hamster’s tank up to your room and puts it against the wall across from the door on your dresser.

“So Frisk, what are you going to name him?”

…Well he looks fluffy, and he’s a guy…

“Sir Fluffkins.”

You feel proud of your name, it may not be the best but it’s better than anything Asgore could come up with.

…Sorry Asgore
