    Summary

    Sal screamed so loudly that it hurt Travis’s ears and echoed in his head for several minutes after it had finished. The sound was unlike anything he’d ever heard on TV, unlike anything he’d ever made when his father beat him. It was visceral, primal. Filled with the most basic of instinct from any living thing: fear. A kind of it that was so deep, it lacerated Sal’s vocal cords as it tore through his stomach and out of his throat, loud enough to reach heaven, desperate enough to be a prayer.

    It was the sound of death.

    ==========
    Sal can't find his anxiety medication on the fourth of July. He subsequently proceeds to have one of the worst breakdowns he's ever had in Nockfell, directly in front of Travis Phelps.

    Summary

    Tenna could hear the kitchen. The clatter of plates. The deep rumble of Asgore’s voice, rising—then flattening into something hoarse. Toriel’s sharper. Less like a yell, more like a scab picked sore too many times. Kris would wander in, shoulders stiff, and press their cheek to the static. Sometimes, if the TV was warm from recent use, the glass would fog. They’d breathe slow. Not watching anything. Just being close.

    He’d glow soft blue beneath them. He always kept his volume low. Just enough to give them something steady. He thought of himself, in those times, as a nightlight. Something for a scared kid to feel near when they didn’t want to cry.

    And then, sometimes, Kris would draw.

    Little stick figures with marker right on the screen. Green for themselves. Brown for Noelle. Big loopy lines for antlers. Red for Dess. a big triangle with gashing spikes . Toriel would scold them gently when she caught them, but she never got angry. She’d say, “Markers are for paper,” and Kris would shrug and say “Okay,” and do it again next week.

    Summary

    Something brushes his muzzle.

    “Mmf…” He wrinkles his snout, ear twitching. “What're you—” He scrunches his face up and cracks an eye open to see Shadow staring at him, knuckles softly brushing the side of his muzzle.

    Right. It's not uncommon for them to share a bed these days. Whatever they had decades ago was always some kind of unspoken thing anyway. Why put a label on it, really?

    Sure, they messed around a lot back then, and pretty much after every sparring match it'd turn into them hashing things out in a whole different way. But even that petered off at some point. Ten years. Twenty. Then thirty. They never did anything more than occasionally whip through each other's orbits and slingshot out the other side to tear off in search of somewhere else. Him with adventure in mind, Shadow with his next mission.
