Summary
Kris Dreemurr doesn't like to rely on others or ask for help. They're more the "suffer in silence" kind who'd rather not have people fussing over them. So when they injure their hands to the point where they almost can't use them anymore, their first instinct is to ignore it and hope it'll sort itself out.
Unfortunately, Ralsei did not get the memo, and when he discovers what's happened, his first instinct is to try and help however he can.
Because whether they know it or not, Kris's hands are special. And if they won't look after them... then Ralsei will take that matter into his own paws.
A Kralsei story for Valentine's day, centering around taking care of another person's hands.

Bookmarker's Notes
There are some ships (Kralsei, for one) that I could never understand. This fic, however, gives an amazing and logically sound explanation to their relationship, while giving delightful interpretations of both parties.
This fic has some of the most immaculate prose I have ever read. It might seem dense considering the actions or places that it describes, but it does it so eloquently, I can't help but smile reading it.
Read for prose, learning a new ship, and "discovering" new forms of care. (Seriously. Some people jokingly describe hand-holding as lewd, but this is violating... in a nice kind of way? Just be aware of it, I guess.)

Asriel always enjoyed photography. Kris was his favorite subject.

Bookmarker's Notes
Not to be dramatic, but this work is solely responsible for me engaging with fanworks beyond comics and animations. (And why I decided to explore writing through fanfiction and make a blatantly inspired work shortly after reading this.)
Literature has the unique quality of any art form to evoke the most powerful, vivid, and lucid images, sounds, and everything in between. This fic (to me, at least) is one of the most exemplary pieces of such phenomena. [See also: For one more day. - Mitch Albom]
Amazing Imagry, heartwrenching portrayal of time, and an excellent exploration of Deltarune's central characters through Courier's lens. An amazing read, the first, and many times after.
