Description
Edge sighed and, still keeping his jaw shut, asked, "What's that for?" He kept his eyes closed, not sure he could take seeing his brother's expression.
"shut up," was Red's only reply as he began gently rubbing his brother's maw with his thumb as he continued to heal it.
Edge opened his eyes, then narrowed them. "Sans, we can't," he asserted, though his voice tremored. It felt so good. He needed this so much. Needed so much more⦠which was why he could not allow it.
Red looked down at his brother sadly. "do you want me to stop, boss?" He asked barely above a whisper.
Edge's eyes took on an unfamiliar tilt, his brow knitting upward instead of downward. His jaw began to quiver, which led to a quietly choked sound of pain. "No.... but... we...."
"hopefully it won't matter soon," Red urged.
Edge squeezed his eyes shut, and with quiet anguish, whispered, "I can't take hope anymore."

This is an illustration of part of mine and Kate's Undertale/Underfell RP, titled: "ANGST." Yup, fitting. I've had artblock for 2 months, but KaptinKate drawing in a stream finally inspired me to get off my butt and try a quick sketch... Except it turned into an actual full-blown thing. Whoops?
In this story, which I will link to when we're finished editing it, our version of Underfell makes "kill or be killed" a mandatory way of life, decided long ago by King Asgore to keep monsters strong, weeding out the weak, so they could fight more effectively against humans. Kindness is weakness. Love is forbidden. Sans (Red) and Papyrus (Edge) care deeply for one another, but must remain distant at all times, or they risk being caught. They desperately need physical contact, but try not to give in. But with one wounded and the other healing him, the temptation was far too strong.
Enjoy this snippet of a platonic/brotherly love story, full of painful longing.

Aww, thank youuuu~! I'm so glad you like it.
Poor Red... ;_; Poor Edge. Poor everyone in Underfell. Our version of it is super brutal and sad.
The RP text is almost ready, I just gotta finish editing the CSS code and testing it, so when I put it on AO3, it'll be easier to tell which character is speaking/doing stuff.

Aaah this has been sitting in my queue and I haven't responded to it yet, so sorry! Been crazy for me the last few days lol. When I first saw this I was so surprised. After our messages about you lacking inspiration, I saw this and I was like "WELL I GUESS THAT'S SOLVED!" This is just so heartbreaking, and the stuff you wrote there is even sadder! I love Underfell, but a lot of times people focus on the horrible toughness without showing the tenderness there, especially with Edge. Or it's only implied but not shown in full force. Thank you for making this, I love me some Underfell angst/fluff, and you scratched that itch quite nicely

It's ok, life happens. Heh, I know, right after I externalized my internal struggle, bam, this drive took over. XD
The RPG me and KaptinKate did made me cry real tears 4 times, man! I hope she can finish her edits soon, so we can share it with the world (I'm also working on a smooth-reading edit, but when 4 characters do stuff at the same time, that's hard to pace @_@).
This was one of those strong moments where Edge needed comfort so badly, and Red wanted to give it so badly, but one single thumb-petting is just too generous and forbidden. It's even sadder still in context of the whole story, and juxtaposed with the fact that a few rooms over, Sans and Papyrus are all-out hugging to comfort each other. ;_;
To me, the bond between the brothers should be a universal constant. Everyone can do AUs their own way of course, but in my own personal view, they're inexorably bound to one another. Their relationship is a big part of what defines them. Even if it's just implied or subtle, to me, they have to care about each other. This story was a strong way to explore that bond in the face of adversity and total opposition. So close, and yet so far.
I'm really glad you like it, and that the main message came through to you.

Hehe, thank you. :3
I was a really weird kid. After I saw the animated movie "Watership Down", I started drawing lots of bloody, violent illustrations. XD So I guess I got a lot of practice. XDDDD
