Work Text:
[Name] could have been found at the lake. Sitting down while painting the scenery. They were new to painting since they usually only used pencils, but can’t knock it til you try it. Deep into thought about what not they didn’t notice the person walking up to them.
Walking towards [name] Kris didn’t know who else to go to, after all who would want to hear about them complain about their parents once more. They weren’t even sure if they should even go to [name] for this. But whatever now they’re here.
Sitting down beside [name] it takes them awhile to notice that kris was there. “hmm..Oh! Kris! you scared me half to death, what are you a ghost?” They said snickering a bit. [Name] looked at Kris’s face finally, oops didn’t seem like they were in a good mood. Kris simply sat there with their knees to their chin and looking off into the lake.
[Name] not really knowing what to do they allowed the of the waves crushing into the side of the ledge to fill the silence. After a few minutes they felt Kris’s head lean on their shoulder and a few sounds could be heard, sounds of quiet crying. [Name] stiffened up a bit but then relaxed their body to make Kris more comfortable.
“Would..you like to talk about it?” [name] said gently. Kris shook their head while trying to hide their face with [name’s] shoulder. [Name] simply nodded and continued their painting. They felt Kris’s head turn back around to face the lake, but they might have actually been watching them paint.
After awhile Kris started talking, though it was in a low soft voice. It was still audible thankfully . “My parents are fighting again” they said tensing up trying not to start crying again. [Name] waited for their next words not knowing if they wanted comfort or just someone who will listen. “It’s not like they’re yelling at me..i don’t even know why im always so affected by it as if it doesn’t happen all the time..” Kris started to say while tears starting to stream down their face.
[Name] feeling as if they had to talk they started to speak, “Kris it’s normal to feel that way, don’t think your feelings are invalid just because you think you should get used to something that’s sad or harmful..” they said while they shifted their body to face kris ultimately making Kris fall into [name’s] arms as they hug them.
Kris not knowing what else to say takes in their words and starts to cry harder as they hid their face in her shoulder. Ellie rubs Kris’s back softly trying not to cry themselves, she hated seeing Kris so sad.
After awhile Kris fell asleep in their arms.
Later in the day [Name] carries Kris’s sleeping body back to their house. Toriel thanking [name] profusely makes them a pie.
