Description
Days later, early in the morning at your home. You woke up from sleeping, you got up from your bed then fix it, still feeling sleepy with eyes half open. Coming out of your room, went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast, your parent are not home as they’re working overseas and sending you money more than enough to manage yourself from both college and at home. You seem to be quite fine of managing yourself, if you ever need help you can always ask your friends.

You toasted at least 3 slice of garlic bread coated with butter from the toaster, and made espresso from the coffee maker. Walking out from the kitchen with a plate of toasts from one hand and a cup of espresso from the other, you sat down on the sofa in your living room set aside the plate and cup on the table, and turned on the TV. You went on to the news channel, you took a slice of toast and began eating. You didn’t pay much attention on the news since it was just all about traffic reports, celebrity talks, some crime reports about robberies, stake outs, etc., and about how the peace between Humans and Monsters coming along pretty well. ‘it seems Frisk’s doing her job damn well’ a hint of proud from you as you thought. You didn’t accept Asgore’s offer to be an ambassador back then, you were just merely not the type of person who is a good planner, persuasive, and a risk taker. You were not up to that kind of challenge, thankfully Frisk accepted it instead, and the right person to do a successful job.

You continued eating, took another slice then same process. Then the news reports about the weather today, and said that there’s a good chance of rain. As clear as you heard it, you’re not bothered by it at all.

Soon you finished eating and drinking the espresso, you did remember that you should stock up some groceries, with no hesitation you took a bath, got dressed after then, lock and secure the house, then off to the grocery store nearby on foot. You would drive instead but 2 problems; One: you don’t have a license. And Two: you don’t have a car. You do have a bicycle, but it’s in repair because the seat snapped broke the last time you rode it.

As you got to the store opened the glass door, you took a shopping basket then begun looking around. You took the ones that you need and a little of some things you’re interested enough to buy; canned, packed, bundled, etc. You also bought a tote, just out of a weird feeling you bought it because you like to be environmentally friendly for a change. As you got what you needed you went to the counter to pay for it.

During price checking, you went to a state of disbelief that looking through the glass door of the store, it was raining. ‘I should have listen to the news, or at least bring an umbrella just in case’ you thought disgracing yourself.

(cashier): “is something the matter, sir?” the lady cashier ask.
(y/n): “I don’t suppose you guys are selling umbrellas right now” you exclaimed unhappily.
(cashier): “no, sorry sir”
(y/n): “it’s fine”

When you got out, you stare at the countless drops of water while holding the tote of your groceries, ‘this won’t led up anytime soon’ you assumed. Looks like you are gonna have to charge through it, used the roofs of the buildings as a rest stop. You were about to do that until suddenly a familiar hand extends in front of your face holding an umbrella. Turning your face, you came to a surprise Asriel’s here.

Asriel: “I got a spare one for you to use” he winked after.
(y/n): “geez, are you a fucking assassin?” words you come up from the surprise.
Asriel: “no” he merely replied.
(y/n): “well…whatever, thanks for the help”.
Asriel: “for a friend” he’s referring you.
(y/n): “so what are you doing here? It’s really quite coincidental for you to be here”.
Asriel: “oh-uh, I was just going to the arcade just right beside of this store, the parking lot there is full so I decided to park here instead”.
(y/n): “oh okay then”.
Asriel: “since you’re here you should come with me, you can just leave your groceries in my car”.
(y/n): “I don’t know, I have not much more money with me right now”.
Asriel: “it’s okay, I’ll be the one who’s paying”.
(y/n): “are you sure? You know people’s compassion towards me makes me feel undeserving”.
Asriel: “pfft…I’m sure, your my best friend after all” he exclaimed with a face showing that it’s no problem.
(y/n): “…alright…”.
Asriel: “Yay! It’s more fun when you have someone to have fun with” he cheerfully smiled.
(y/n): “eheh yeah”.

Once you two leave your groceries in Asriel’s car, you two went to the nearby arcade. You two went to the token booth and bought a handful pack of tokens, looking around there are a lot of arcade games; shoot-outs, fighting-games, racing-games, basketball, air hockey, slot machines and many more.

Asriel: “so what do you want to play?”.
(y/n): “hmm…I can’t pick…probably the ones that you can win tickets?” you replied unsurely.
Asriel: “they all give you tickets” he snickered.
(y/n): “not all of them, genius” you snickered as well.
Asriel: “well anyway, we ain’t got all day, let’s choose an interesting game”.
(y/n): “alright”.

Scouting around, you two then came across a racing game.

(y/n): “how about this one?”.
Asriel: “alright” he said “I’ll go easy on you” he teased you as well.
(y/n): “don’t give me that attitude when I beat you” countering what he said.
Asriel: “we’ll see” he made a confidence look in the face with eyes closed “though I don’t really care if you beat me or not, having you here if a win enough for me” opening his eyes looking back at you.
(y/n): “pfft…yeah right” you took it as a sarcasm.

Each of you inserted a token, sat on the simulated car seat, grabbed the steering wheel and begun to play. You two have to choose a track to race.

(y/n): “so what-“.
Asriel: “you decide, I don’t mind” he cut you off with a slightly mocking face.
(y/n): “that’s rude of you” you laugh a little.
Asriel: “hehehe”.

You chose a track that seems to have lots of corners and turns, and it was in a night time city. You two now have to choose a car, it tells you to choose a brand first. Asriel chose a muscle car, Dodge challenger. You think this carefully, since it is a track full of turns and corners, a car with a great handling performance is the best advantage. Browsing through, you chose a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 5.

The time you finally chose a car, the game was loading and getting ready.

Asriel: “wanna make a bet?” Asriel confidently asks.
(y/n): “oh?” you grinned “okay then. When I win your treating me out”.
Asriel: “deal, but when I win…” he pause a moment looking dead set at you smiling with a facial expression enough to make you unsettling.
(y/n): “uh…when you win, what?” you were waiting for an answer, not liking how his face look.
Asriel: “you let me kiss your cheek” he slowly and straightly answered.
(y/n): you’re in a state of shock and confusion, “w-what?” you blushed visibly.

With that talk you didn’t realized the game was finished loading and was about start. Asriel was already ready, leaving you surprised and panicked a little. The go signal pop out, being a few seconds late, the other AI cars and Asriel already gapped you by a slight distance away. You immediately stepped the peddle before your car moved.

During the race, you outrun and get the jump of the AIs using shortcuts, the sharp turns, tactics, and the basic ‘going faster than them’ thing. Because of your right decision of choosing a car, your car easily and efficiently went by the tricky turns due to its handling, using the turns to slow down your rivals, adding the shortcuts to the subjects which the AIs are logically stupid to take it.

Then there’s Asriel, he really knows how to use that car he’s using well is what you thought. You know that muscle cars are known by their high acceleration performance, with this performance cars can move at a good speed instantly from point zero. You also know that it should cover up the turns even when they’re sharp.

This must not get to you is what you thought, you thought to yourself that just stay focus and do your best. You however remembered what Asriel told you, you can’t seem to be focus at all. ‘did he said that because he wants to deliberate my focus?’ you thought. You turn your head away from the screen and look at Asriel. His focus was on the game plainly smiling, though you assumed he noticed you were looking at him he’s just not looking at you back, but then again maybe not.

Turning your head back to the screen, you let out a sigh. ‘just stay focus, and win this, he was just messing with me that’s all’ you thought. Without any more hesitation you were dead focus on the game.

Until finally, in the end you won first place. Asriel was close beating you, you were neck-and-neck with him, luckily there was a turn that slowed him down before you were first to cross the finish line.

(y/n): “I win” you close one of your eyes and let your tongue out, teasing Asriel.
Asriel: “heh, I guess I underestimated you a little” admitting defeat, not bothered at all.
(y/n): “damn straight, and our little bet~ “.
Asriel: “well a bet is a bet” he replied calmly “after we’re done playing here, okay?”
(y/n): “yep, okay”.
Asriel: “so what’s next?” he’s pointing out what game to play next.
(y/n): you pause a second, a bit blushing, “hey uh…Asriel…”.
Asriel: “what it is?”.
(y/n): you were overwhelmed by anxiety, “about what you said earlier…”.
Asriel: he somehow smiled, “yes?”.
(y/n): you felt discomfort, “I-um. About what you said back the-“ you were cut off by Asriel’s finger, shutting your mouth.
Asriel: he was laugh loudly, “oh (y/n), you should really move on when something just can’t happen” he looks at you smirking.
(y/n): confusion drops on your head, “h-huh?”
Asriel: he wrapped one of his hand around your shoulder, “now come on, we can’t waste time now, can we?”.
(y/n): not knowing what just happened, you just go with it, “r-right”.

After more than an hour of playing in the arcade, you two finally ran out of tokens, but gain countless of tickets. You two go to the prize booth to exchange the tickets you won. With a machine that counts the number of your tickets, the number of tickets you and Asriel won combine was 315. Looking at the items with their price tag, it was inefficient.

(y/n): “we can’t seem to get anything with this, except pens, erasers, and ketchains” you said with no enthusiasm.
(employee): “actually sir, we have these”.
(y/n): “huh?”
(employee): points at a pairs of rings “we have these friendship rings, it only cost 300 tickets”.
Asriel: “Friendship rings?” Asriel said showing excitement, “cool, they’re perfect”
(y/n): “a bit corny for me”.
Asriel: “oh enlighten up, we should have something as a sign of our friendship” he winked at you, elbowing at your chest, persuading you.
(y/n): “well there’s nothing else interesting to exchange, so why not”.
Asriel: “hehe, good point”.

The employee hands you the rings, you notice the design of the rings. One ring has a thick circle design, it has this heart-shape hole with some words that said ‘friends forever’. While the other ring has the same design the other, the difference is that instead having a heart-shape hole, it has a heart-shape platform that’s perfectly fit the hole of the other ring when connecting them.

(y/n): “it’s kinda like a love ring because of the heart” you awkwardly said.
Asriel: “oh really? It doesn’t look that to me” he said trying to enlighten you.
(y/n): “*sign* I guess your right”.

After getting the prize, you two went out of the building, went to Asriel’s car then got in. You rode shotgun while your groceries are at the back. Asriel sat on the driver seat, buckle up his seatbelt you did the same, he started the car and looks at you with his usual smile.

Asriel: “so where do you want me to treat you? And don’t tell me ‘you don’t have to treat me out because of a little bet’ like you always say something like that” he insisted while jinxing you, mocking a little.
(y/n): “just anywhere is good enough, it’s your call” you exclaimed mumbling a little.
Asriel: “okay then” he smiled.

The car started to move, out of the parking lot and drove off in the streets. You make sure that your groceries are intact and not out of place by checking it. Asriel seemed to notice this because he was driving more lightly. After minutes of driving, you two stopped at a café, you think it’s good enough even though you didn’t meant about the bet.

(y/n): “the place looks nice” you admired.
Asriel: “great, then you will love the food as well” he gladly replied.

Soon the two of you went inside, the place has an aromatic fragrance that makes you light-headed. You two stood looking at the menu right on top of the counter, choosing what to order. You try to find something that the price is low enough not to give Asriel any weight of burden, you can’t seem to find anything, you just stood there for moments. Until suddenly you realized that Asriel was already at the counter, ordering.

(cashier): “here’s your change sir”.
Asriel: “thank you” he politely said.
(y/n): you sprinted towards Asriel, “um, have I or have I not ordered anything yet?” you said quite temperedly.
Asriel: “nope you didn’t, so I gave them an order for you instead” he giggled.
(y/n): “you dick” you grumpily exclaimed.
Asriel: “hehe”.
(y/n): “let’s just find a seat already” you said not amused.
Asriel: “sure”.

Once you two found a seat, waiting for your order by spending time having a little chat, the waiter has handed you your order. Asriel got a plateful of white spaghetti and a glass of sprite, while you got a plateful of cheesy fries (if you don’t like the food given to you, please bear with it) and a glass of coke.

(y/n): “white spaghetti?” you smirked.
Asriel: “hey, Papyrus’s spaghetti is really good I give you that, but I prefer white spaghetti. They’re healthier than the red ones” he clarified.
(y/n): “then why don’t you ask him to make white spaghetti for you instead?” you still grinned.
Asriel: “I did but he kept saying things to me like ‘NO! I WILL NOT COOK THAT COPYCAT DISH WHAT YOU CALL FOOD, HOW ORIGINAL. USING MILK AND CREAMERS INSTEAD OF TOMATO PASTE AND SAUSE IS SUCH A HINT OF MUTINY!’ and blah-blah-blah” he replied, doing an impersonation of Papyrus while doing a hand-lip-syncing.
(y/n): “ehehehe” you laugh at his impersonation.
Asriel: “heh, good to see I made you laugh” he happily replied.
(y/n): “ha, yeah I guess I do needed that”.
Asriel: “let’s eat already, I’m starving” he impatiently said smiling at you.

Right after that, you two started eating. By the looks of it than it sounds, your food is more plenty than Asriel’s, this made you feel a little guilty. You would offer some of your food to Asriel, but then an idea hatch in your mind to make it even for you and him.

(y/n): “hey Asriel, I got something on my mind” you happily said.
Asriel: “what is it?” he questioned.
(y/n): “lend me your food for a minute”.
Asriel: “uh, okay” he said from the confusion.

As you got his plate, you put half of all your fries in his plate, then you took half of the all the amount of his spaghetti in your plate. You two now have a plate of white spaghetti with cheesy fries for each of you.

Asriel: “oh! I see what you’re going with” he said getting your idea.
(y/n): “here you go” you gave his plate back.
Asriel: “well thanks for the fries” he exclaimed joyfully.
(y/n): “your welcome, thanks for the spaghetti”.
Asriel: “likewise”.

You two get back eating. Both of you smiled each other time to time, while having a small talk with a quick topic. Though you would see that Asriel just relentlessly stare at you, the only time he stops looking at you is that when he focuses on eating but return looking at you. As usual no matter how alert you are at your surroundings, you’re not bothered at all unless it gains your interest or suspicion, you just kept eating.

After a while you were finish with your food, but Asriel was way ahead of you and waiting for you to finish. You just have to finish your drink, as you are sipping your drink, you look at Asriel to see he was just staring at you smiling with his head resting on his hands which his whole arms was standing on the table stabling his head. At first you thought he looks cute, but then it felt ominous as he kept staring. Until an unexpected words came out of his mouth that made caught you by surprise.

Asriel: “hehe you look cute when you eat and drink” he said clearly with his face turned into a big smile.
(y/n): you blushed visibly and instantly, you even almost spit back your drink but swallow it instead, “u-uh…I-I, t-thanks?” you said improperly, choking by your own words.
Asriel: “oh? that’s just a simple complement, there’s nothing to thank me about that, (y/n)” he specified.
(y/n): “u-eh…yes, okay” you said insecurely.
Asriel: “hehehe, so are you finish?” he asked.
(y/n): “o-oh, yeah I am”.
Asriel: “good, come on now, I’ll give you a lift home” he offered.
(y/n): “yeah sure thanks”.
Asriel: “not a prob”.

The two of you finally done and went out, got in to Asriel’s car then drove off to your house. It didn’t took long you two finally got to your house. You took your groceries with the assistance of Asriel and head for the door.

As soon you got in you and Asriel put your groceries at your dining table so you could put the items you bought in each organize places. Asriel like a good friend help out as well, you accepted it without any complain. Soon after you and him are done, you knew he would have to leave now, this was a bit disappointing but it’s not like you won’t see him again.

(y/n): “so…you’re gonna get going now, huh?” you said not delighted at all.
Asriel: “actually, there’s something I would like to ask you” he exclaimed.
(y/n): you look confused by this, “what is it?”.
Asriel: “I was wondering if I could stay with you for a sleepover”.
(y/n): you made a surprise look, “what?”.
Asriel: “I realize you were always alone in your house, I just thought you might want to be with someone for a change, y’know” he said unsurely.
(y/n): “…”.
Asriel: “well?” he asked waiting for your answer while he look unsettled for asking.
(y/n): “I-I would love that, thanks” you said smiling slightly.
Asriel: his face enlighten up, “really?”.
(y/n): you nodded.
Asriel: “great! I’ll just go and ask my parents for permission, then I’ll go get some stuff I’ll need” he said hurried off towards the door out.
(y/n): “okay sure, I’ll be seeing you later”.
Asriel: “kay, bye”.

As Asriel was out of the house, you went to your window to see him going off. You smiled at the sight of him being happy. However he suddenly stop, he then took out his phone. His face in all of the sudden turned to dead blank. You swore that even though you can’t see the phone from where you are, you were sure his phone went in a static screen moment, as well as a static sound. You were very uneasy by this, as he seems to be reading something on his phone. But then after that, you were surprised that he jump out of joy for something. Your ominous suspicion was instantly replaced with a slice of happiness and amusement, seeing him jumping like that made you laugh a little and think he looks funny. Asriel, after jumping around he get in his car, back to his usual attitude then drove off.

Hours have passed, it was getting dark, you were just on the computer (doing whatever you want to do) until you heard a familiar car noise parked at your house. Looking out as you would guess, it was Asriel. He seems to be carrying a backpack which you assumed contains his clothes, snacks, and some bathing supplies. Following his backpack, he also have a folded sleeping mat with his own blanket and pillow. ‘he didn’t have to bring that, I have already have a sleeping mat and an extra blanket and pillow he could use’ you thought.

Regardless without any hesitation, you went to the door to open it for him. Asriel went in as soon you opened the door.

Asriel: “Howdy, (y/n)” he greeted joyfully.
(y/n): “hey Asriel, good evening” you simply replied.
Asriel: “so as you obviously guess, my parents are okay with it, hehe our servants helped me out with my things”.
(y/n): “cool, well what do you want us to do?”.
Asriel: “*chuckles*, silly (y/n), what sleepovers normally do. You do already had a sleepover before, right?”.
(y/n): “n-no, I haven’t”.
Asriel: “oh? tsk,tsk,tsk. Poor little (y/n)” he said teasing you.
(y/n): “eh?”.
Asriel: “don’t worry, ol’ Asriel will make sure you have a memorable first sleepover” he said confidently.
(y/n): “uh-okay?” you said insecurely.
Asriel: “that’s the spirit” he then pats your head.
(y/n): “hump” you were frankly annoyed by this a little.
Asriel: “hehe”.

As the night progresses, you two were having fun. Playing video games, watch TV, playing board games you had, and cooking together although you two made a lot of mess when you two were doing a little food fight while cooking which took much time to clean but you were actually had fun that time.

You be honest to yourself, you were having fun, but not because of the games or this was a great day, but because you finally felt something you never before and now you do it made you feel truly happy, the feeling of what you call friendship. You can’t express how it feels, but you knew nobody’s gonna understand you so you just kept this feelings to yourself.

Asriel, your true friend, made you feel it. Knowing there’s always someone you can count on, and always there for you. You had to thank him for that.

Before you know it when you and Asriel were having lots of fun doing things, it was time for bed.

(y/n): “*yawn* alright Asriel, time for bed” you said rubbing one of your eyes.
Asriel: “*disappointedly groaning*, okay”.
(y/n): “I’ll help setting up your sleeping mat”.
Asriel: “sure”.
(y/n): “you’ll be sleeping in my room”.
Asriel: “okay” he simply said.

Asriel took his sleeping mat, pillow and blanket, you help him with this. Once you open the door to your room, Asriel was scanning the inside. What he see in the room was >>>(insert what you want your bedroom looks like here)<<< . he seems to like your style and taste.

Asriel: “I never seen your room before, it’s really nice here, (y/n)” he complimented you.
(y/n): “thanks, now why don’t we set your sleeping mat right beside my bed”.
Asriel: “good idea”.

You lend a helping hand to Asriel with the mat. You two just placed the mat, cover it with an underlayer so it will be softer, then the pillow and blanket.

Asriel: “that should do it” he proudly exclaimed.
(y/n): “yup, well anyway *yawn*, let’s get some sleep now, goodnight”.
Asriel: “goodnight, (y/n)”.

After you turned the lights off, the only lights are guiding you now are the lights outside, coming through the window. You two lay down to sleep.

Asriel: “sleep tight, (y/n)” he said almost drifting to sleep.
(y/n): “you two”.

You and Asriel are drifting off to sleep. However, before you two are fully asleep, a loud static echoed through the room. You quickly rose your upper body from the bed, the static sound have stop. Though before it stop, you pinpointed that the sound was coming from Asriel’s backpack. Asriel, then quickly took his bag, with a panicked look. When he took his bag, he took out his phone inside the bag. You assumed that was the source of the static.

(y/n): “w-what was that?” you asked questionably, you look tired as well.
Asriel: “oh! uh, t-that was just my phone’s ringtone” he said nervously, visibly sweating.

You weren’t in the mood to take this conversation farther because you’re exhausted, you just tossed your body back to bed, with your laying-head facing at the direction where Asriel is.

(y/n): “for fuck’s sakes, Asriel. Of all trending ringtones you picked that?”.
Asriel: “hehe, sorry”

You were about to close your eyes, but you notice Asriel was looking at his phone. He was smiling creepily. But because of tiredness, you don’t know what happens after as you closed your eyes and fall asleep.
