Megalomaniac

Chara looked at Frisk plug in the second player controller and sit behind her intently. “What-“

   “Deal with it” she’s being bossy today, Chara saw the second player notification and decided she should just let Frisk knock herself out because this game isn’t really for pacifists like her. She entered the game.

   This game is set in a post-apocalyptic universe where it’s kill or be killed. While chara is a master at it, Frisk just keeps on dying over and over again, being a big burden on chara’s shoulders. “You have to kill them Frisk, don’t just run away” Of course frisk new how to play the game, it’s just killing wasn’t really her thing.

   “How do you kill them anyway?” Frisk asked, tempted. Chara showed her the button on her controller and pointed to the same button but on Frisk’s controller “Click this, you should be able to shoot them” Frisk did was she was asked and killed one of the monsters. “See? Not so hard now is it?” Lifting her own burden up, frisk fought side by side with Chara until she eventually ran out of ammo.

   “I ran out of ammo!! Chara what do I do!?” frisk panicked, running around in circles while she gets chased by monsters. “You have a knife you idiot!” Chara said focusing on killing the monsters that are after Frisk. Frisk scrolled down her item bar until she came across the knife Chara was talking about. She equipped it and slashed one monster in half.

   “Keep using that until you find more ammo” instructed Chara as they played more. The more they encounter monsters, Frisk didn’t hesitate to split them in half or rip out their hearts or just crush their heads. While Chara was enjoying the easiness of the gameplay, unbeknownst to her frisk was enjoying something else. “I got this one frisk” She said-

   Frisk stood between them and murdered the monster in front of Chara, She stabbed it again and again even though it’s already dead. Surprised by her actions, Chara looked beside her to see Frisk, eyes wide on the screen and smiling. She was smiling, not her usual butterflies-on-your-guts smile it’s something else, something Chara recognized as….Genocidal.

   “F-frisk I think we should stop for now-“ before chara could even finish her sentence frisk answered “Why stop when I’m having so much fun? Go back to shooting them Chara” Frisk said, eyes focused on the screen. “Frisk let’s play another game” Chara suggested, hoping she would snap out of it.

   Frisk sighed, dropped the controller and looked at chara “my mind hurts” she said, still smiling. Slowly that smile fades and what’s left was Frisk with her usual unamused face. “Now I regret playing that game” Frisk stated and fell down on the floor. “Are you alright frisk?” the other didn’t answer, she just looked at the clock and noticed that it’s already midnight.

   She bolted up and headed straight to the door. “It’s midnight! I better go sleep” Frisk said before disappearing. Chara was left there sitting on the floor and staring at the door, thinking about what just recently happened. Being such a pacifist, Frisk enjoyed stabbing the hell out of those monsters which was weird and twisted at the same time.

   Reminds chara of herself when she was young. Surprised, Chara left the console open and headed straight to bed. She might not have enough sleep tonight though

===============================================================================================================================================================

     Toriel and Asgore left the house around 6 am so they could come back earlier, they were planning on enrolling frisk at Asriel’s and Chara’s school. Asriel in turn was in charge of the house because he’s the oldest only for a few months. “Where’s Chara?” He asked Frisk once she came down the stairs properly dressed in her usual Pink and blue sweater and shorts. “Probably still asleep, want me to wake her up?” Asriel smiled and nodded. Thankful for Frisk’s help in time of need. Frisk went back upstairs and knocked on Chara’s wooden door. She didn’t get any sort of response so she excused herself and went in.

   It was dark and grim inside the room, not even a single light passed through. She narrowed her eyes in an effort to see better, soon she saw Chara sleeping on her bed with the blankets on the floor and her feet sprawled everywhere. Frisk rolled her eyes and approached the sleeping chara.

   She tried shaking her shoulder, nothing happened. She tried slapping her face gently, still nothing happened. She shook her whole body and still nothing happened. She was starting to get pretty annoyed. She climbed on the bed and tried jumping on it, after a few jumps up and down she looked down to see if Chara woke up, yep not even one bit. Frisk grunted annoyingly, she climbed on top of chara and slapped her face, again, but this time with a little more force.

   After seeing no reaction yet again, Frisk started to get really annoyed, so annoyed in fact that she wanted to slap something and ended up slapping herself. Chara opened her eyes a little bit, bothered by the loud noise. So slapping myself wakes her up, of course! I mean why the hell not!? “What the hell?” Chara slowly opened her eyes and saw frisk sitting on top of her.

   Her face was set on fire, “W-what are y-you d-doing!?” Chara stuttered, having some difficulty finding the right words. “Finally!! You’re awake!” exclaimed Frisk as she smiled widely in joy. “Yes!” Frisk dipped her head down to face Chara, she let their foreheads touched and smiled. Chara was surprised again by the sudden action and blushed even deeper, “Good morning, Chara” greeted frisk.

   Chara instinctively pushed frisk’s face away and struggled to get away from Frisk’s weight “Good morning to you too, now do you mind?” Chara said, with a slight blush still on her face. “Oh yeah” Frisk realized she was still on top of chara and moved to let the other stand up and open the curtains, letting all the light in her gloomy room.

   Chara sighed and looked at Frisk, she noticed her cheeks were red and puffy. “What happened to you?” She asked. “Oh I slapped myself because I wanted to slap you to wake you up” Frisk answered, heedless to how weird of an answer that was. “Ok” Chara said, emphasizing the O.

   “Just come down once your down, Asriel has something for us to do”

   “Yes ma’am”

===============================================================================================================================================================

   After taking a short rinse, Chara lazily got out of her bathroom and slipped in her black button up shirt and her signature sweater, she then put on the same short frisk was wearing (Thanks to Asgore) and black socks that reaches up to her knee. She looked at her get up from the mirror, she cringed and left her room, not even bothering to comb her hair.

   Somehow a trait she and Frisk shares. She lazily climbed down the stairs and found Asriel with Frisk on the couch watching some movie on Netflix. “Is the thing you want me to do, Asriel… is watching movies?” Asked Chara sarcastically, of course He takes it the wrong way and took it seriously. “Actually yes. How did you know?” Why did mom make him in charge?

   “Take a seat Chara, we’re watching Inside out” Chara frowned at the mention of its name. Oh great another cartoon, just what I need “Don’t give me that look Chara, it’s an amazing movie, right Frisk?” Frisk just nodded. “Well excuse me then” Chara took the seat next to Frisk and slumped. To be honest she was still quite sleepy since she didn’t get much sleep because of Frisk and she never got to take more sleep, again because of frisk.

   The movie started and both frisk and Asriel were already dead focused. Leaving Chara and her depressed heart alone to fend for herself. She left the couch momentarily and came back with a glass of juice and chips. She did tell herself not to watch the movie but since she’s got nothing to do she’d better do it in style, and that is with juice and chips, for some reason.

   “Can I have some?” Frisk asked, eyes glued to the TV screen. Chara doesn’t know why but she’s having trouble denying frisk so of course she said yes.

   Halfway throughout the movie Asriel started talking to himself about the movie, frisk replied and the next 15 minutes was filled with comments on how good it was and how meaningful it was and what not. They’re almost at the climax, surprisingly Chara took part in watching the movie seriously, Frisk was still dead focused on the screen and so is Asriel.

     Near the end when Riley was about to leave to Minnesota (Major Spoiler) Frisk felt tears running down her cheeks, nonstop. “Frisk hey” Chara noticed and got a bit concerned. Somehow deep inside her, she really wanted to console frisk, of course she brushed it off as false impulse.

   “Hey why are you crying?” Chara asked softly, eliminating any sign of aggression in her voice, afraid that she might make frisk cry even more. Frisk on the other hand was unsure of what to answer because she herself had no idea why she was crying. IT just fell down and it wouldn’t stop.

   Asriel saw Frisk shortly after Chara reacted and also grew worried, “Hey it’s ok, she’s not really leaving, and she’ll come back” (Again Spoilers) Frisk didn’t stop crying. Frisk didn’t know why but somehow her body reacts to Riley leaving her family, independently. “Frisk, buddy” Asriel reached out to Frisk’s head and patted her hazel brown hair.

   “Frisk….” Chara called out her name. Frisk looked at chara and saw an apologetic look on her face, weird because she thought Chara doesn’t have the word Apologize in her vocabulary. “Stop crying…” Chara’s hands reached out to cup Frisk’s cheeks and wipe the tears with her own sleeves. Asriel was shocked, not only because she showed that much affection towards a human being but also because she wasn’t really the type to console someone, much less Frisk who does all the consoling done for all of them.

   Chara pulled Frisk gently towards her and hugged her in a protective and consoling kind of way. Frisk heard Chara’s heart beat against her chest, she found the rhythm very soothing and tranquil that she couldn’t help but stop sobbing. Asriel looked at the both of them with a warm smile. Frisk nudged her head closer to chara and smiled “You’re warm” For the second time of the day, Chara felt her face set ablaze again.

   Unable to prod any words, she prevented Frisk from letting go and see her face, though that didn’t really matter because Asriel was seeing a handful of it and laughed. “Frisk look at chara’s face” Frisk tried to pull away but the hands wrapped around her was too strong and determined to keep her where she was.

   “NO”

   “Frisk come on it’s hilarious” Chara hugged her tighter, “oh wait” Asriel brought out his phone and pointed the camera at Chara “Asriel, don’t you dare” Chara warned him, she saw no intention of stopping from Asriel so she just hid her face on Frisk’s neck, hopefully the camera didn’t catch her before she could hide. “Got ya” Asriel said, satisfied.

   “Oh no you don’t” Chara tried grabbing the phone but Asriel put it back in his pocket. Chara tried to grab the phone again but no avail failed. Frisk wrapped her arms around Chara’s waist to keep her from moving any further, and for the third time Chara’s face was set on fire “There it is again!!” Asriel brought out his phone and took another picture.

“ASRIEL!!!”

===============================================================================================================================================================

   Toriel and Asgore came back around noon, just in time for lunch. They’re lunch was made none other than Frisk, when asked how she learned to cook so professionally she said she was taught by a professional chef. I know it seems weird but Chara and Asriel just rolled with it.

   Seriously though, Frisk’s food is like the best thing they ever tasted. “Frisk, this is the best! What’s the secret ingredient??” Asriel asked while stuffing his mouth full of spaghetti, Frisk put a hand on her chinned and seemed to wonder for a bit “Love? Yeah I don’t know I don’t really have one usually though-“

   “Ok, ok love it is” after hearing that, Chara just blushed. The others didn’t know why, but Asriel sure did and he sure was satisfied with it, well that is until Chara noticed, “You asked that on purpose, didn’t you Asriel?” NO REGRETTSS!!

     After chasing Asriel around the house for over half an hour, Chara decided to sit down the couch and take a break. Frisk was up on her room taking a bath, Asgore is dead asleep and Toriel was reading books beside Asgore as for Asriel he…he’s in his room laughing at Chara’s photos for a while now and Chara was getting tired of hearing his laugh.

   She opened the TV and wrapped a blanket around her cold body, she chose the TV in the living room because she want to be as far away from Asriel’s laugh as possible, obviously. She scrolled through the channel until she landed on a good one, grunting she placed the remote next to her and snuggled in deeper into the blanket.

   After some while she heard a door opening and closing upstairs, not caring she continued to watch the TV. “Chara is that you?” oh crap its Frisk, Chara tensed up. Frisk continued to walk downstairs until she was finally on the same floor with Chara. “Aren’t you gonna sleep yet?” she asked, Chara shook her head as an answer, expecting Frisk would just leave she brought her focus back to the pandas on the television.

   She felt the couch shift a little bit, curious she looked beside her and saw Frisk sitting next to her and trying to share the same blanket with Chara. “Aren’t you gonna sleep yet?” Chara asked, following the same tone of voice Frisk used earlier, “Nah, thought to give you some company” she said with her overly used smile, the same smile Chara loved seeing every day.

     “Knock yourself out” Chara said, returning their head to face the TV, partly because of the show but mostly because of the meek smile she has on her face right now. “Hey chara wanna hear a pick up line?” Frisk asked out of nowhere “A pick up line? Is this necessary for your flirting habits?” she asked, a little tempted to hear it. “Not really, I just found it on the net would you like to hear it?”

   “The net? How did you access the interne-“

   “Ok here I go”

    Frisk inhaled and put on the most adorable face Chara has ever seen in her entire life, or what Frisk like to call The Flirting face. “Hey…” Frisk greeted, in a flirtatious kind of way that kinda works on Chara (seriously though she hasn’t even heard the joke yet and she’s already over the edge)

   “err Hi?” Chara answered. The atmosphere suddenly changed from Depressed to serious, Chara felt it and her heart beat fastened. She waited for the line to be said, she waited-

   “I forgot” Frisk covered her mortified face while Chara laugh hard “Oh wait…” Frisk brought her face closer to chara as she looked up when she finally remembered it “I…uh…” Frisk, having so close to chara felt her face heat up. The older of the two saw Frisk’s reaction and started to blush herself. “I…..” Frisk stared at Chara’s bloody eyes for what felt like an eternity for her, Chara did the same for frisk’s amazing brown eyes.

   The two stayed like that for a few minutes before finally snapping back to earth. Frisk was the first to pull away and hide her face, “your eyes are amazing, Chara” she managed to say “Well that’s not a very impressive pick up-“she didn’t even get to finish her sentence before frisk butted in.

   “It’s not a pick up line, it’s the truth” frisk corrected chara, again in a flirtatious way. “Oh…thank you?” Their face got closer and closer until their foreheads eventually touch. Chara blushed furiously as she stared onto those brown orbs, having seen such an adorable reaction Frisk smiled and gave chara a quick peck on the lips as a reward for being cute.

   The older of the two froze for a whole minute before blushing even deeper, “You’re welcome” said frisk.
