Chapter Text
Kris looked up, seeing the glint of their old crt flicker with their (tenna’s) face. Sighing, they looked over to susie. “Well damn, hadn’t considered my tv had abandonment issues…” susie blinked a few times, Then looked to toriel, sleeping peacefully on the couch. She looked back to kris with a smile “yeah, but it’s another adventure, and your mom doesn’t know, so i’m cool.” she hops up and taps the tv a couple times. “Besides, for all the screwed up they was, they gave us a pretty cool time yeah?” she gives him a sympathetic look before glancing at kris and schooling her features “you think your mom’ll get rid of this thing?” kris shrugs, rolling their neck. “Pshh, no idea. But i guess i’m gonna have to start using it more.”
he looks over susie’s shoulder to check it again, susie glances back at him, and after a second of eye contact she backs up, moving from between him and the tv. “D-dude, what’s with getting all up on me?” kris gives her a slightly confused look, but shrugs and backs off “sorry?” she shakes her head, scoffing before walking past him “whatever, it’s fine. I just need some water” kris perk up at the idea, and follows her to get a glass from the cabinet. Susie grabs two glasses, but looks back quickly to make sure kris is behind her. When she see’s him peeking over her shoulder again she huffs. “You’re too predictable man.” she shoves a glass in their hand and gets some ice. She gets a scoop for her and a scoop for kris.
She fills her cup and instinctively turns to grab kris’, but when she sees him holding their cup out she scoffs and moves i’m not your damn mom, fill your cup up!” she turns to the table and takes a drink. She turns, leaning on the table as kris drinks. After they gets done she swirls her cup. Watching the ice rattle with each other “...you think we really seem like a ‘battle throuple’?...”
Kris tilts their head, and after a second they chuckles “i mean, we battle, and we’re a trio, so i guess.” they takes another drink, and susie huffs, and she feels her cheeks heat just a bit from having to spell it out. “Yeah, but they was talking about him and the weather people dating when they said that…” kris sucks their teeth for a second before responding “oh, really? I mean, i can see room for confusion, kinda? Eh, it doesn’t really matter, we’re best buds yeah?”
Susie studies kris, wondering if she’s exaggerating the unsure look in their eyes “ugh, i don’t know about BEST…you’re kinda a huge dork!” she hits him on the shoulder, almost making him spill their drink. they recoils and chuckles “says you, ‘susilla’!” she throws her head back in a half scoff half chuckle “you can’t be a dork just because you enjoy a good movie! Especially when it’s a monster knocking buildings down, like…” before she can even move kris has set their drink on the counter, preparing for her tackle. When she brings him down she’s careful to not crush him completely. She looks at the smile on their face as she digs her elbow in their side, the same smile that she saw when they were fighting the queen.
She notices the way their green eyes glow a bit through their hair, that detached amusement, yet genuine enjoyment. She feels her cheeks heat slightly before she shoves kris out from under her. “Ugh, you don’t even fight back, wimp…” they hoists himself up with the counter before taking another drink. Susie turns over, looking up at kris as they drinks. She then looks up at the light fixture at the ceiling. After taking a sip kris sighs, and mumbles “you look stupid just laying on the floor like that.” susie jumps up, grabbing kris’ shirt collar, rumbling playfully “yeah, well, you look stupid ALL the time” with a small smile she lets go, sending him stumbling into the counter.
He grunts softly “takes one to know one” susie glares at him with a smirk “damn, you’ve got a mouth on you. Better watch it, twerp.” kris chuckles a second before replying “‘twerp’? Who are you, vicky?” as kris takes their next drink susie bumps the back of the cup. Kris sputters before asking “the fuck was that for?” she laughs before saying “told ya to watch it…” kris sets their cup down before scoffing “whatever, lets go watch some more tv. I can’t go to sleep yet…” susie refills her cup before following along. She sets her cup on the small table beside the couch before asking “so, are you gonna put on a nerd show, or can we continue our godzilla marathon?” kris switches the tv on and sighs “i don’t know, probably a nerd show…” susie starts to protest, but falls silent as she sees a godzilla movie playing on the screen “...thanks…”
He shakes their head “no problem. I like watching the godzilla movies, especially when i get to hear you recreate all the sounds like ‘arrrghghghhhhaaagh’!” they chuckles to himself before being silenced by a smack to their belly. they bends forwards with a pained smile “oof” susie chuckles. “Oof is damn right. Make fun of my amazing impressions again…” kris takes a deep breath before saying “gosh, what do i even start with, so many things to make fun of.” susie rolls her eyes before mumbling “god you’re annoying” kris smirks “must be sad, your best friend being annoying” susie smiles, leaning back “what’s sad is that i’m your best friend too…”
Kris headbutts susie’s shoulder, but doesn’t pull away. “Nah, i think it’s pretty fun.” susie smiles, wrapping an arm around kris and noogie-ing head, mumbling “yeah, you’re pretty cool, for a dork…” susie’s hand on kris’ head gentles after a second, gently ruffling their hair. Kris doesn’t pull away from the touch, instead nuzzling susie’s shoulder gently. After a bit susie begins to rub their back. Kris finds their way further up her shoulder, and eventually to her neck. they nuzzles gently, their breath flowing over her pulse. She feels her face and neck heat, and she stops rubbing their back, her hand stilling
“r-really? This is why rouxls thought we were…y’know…” kris looks up, a coy smile on their lips “so? I don’t really care, as long as we know we’re friends it’s cool, yea?” susie looks up in an almost shy manner “ i…i guess, but…” kris interjects with a playful “you wanna stop?~” susie huffs, her cheeks reddening “i-i…ugh…no…” kris hums “then rub my back please, i like it…” susie resumes rubbing large circles on their back. After a bit she rests her head on his, and the cinnamon apple scent of their hair lulling her into a soft sleep.
