Chapter Text
"I'll be back in a jiffy, Kristopher. Just wait here and dont touch anything!"
Berdly rushed out of him room. The sound of his talons clicking on the hardwood floor of his house slowly faded out...
A devilish smile found a way to Kris' face. Time to snoop around.
They wandered around his room, taking in every detail. Navy blue walls, feathers scattered around the beige carpeted floor, posters lining the walls, figurines on shelves, and his weirdly intricate PC setup.
Their hands turned over every toy and opened every box in search of something. What exactly, may you ask? Blackmail of course!
While being friends with Berdly he would of course hold things over Kris' head all the time. But this time Kris would find something to tease HIM about!
They approached his bed, crouching all the way down and putting their head on the floor. Kris could barely see anything under his dusty bed but the smell was defintely putrid and somehow nostalgic. It smelled like really strong herbs mixed with pungent... chemicals?
Sticking their arm all the way under, Kris managed to wrap their fingers around a smooth, aluminum tray full of unknown items. They quickly pulled it out.
"Kris! I'm back- OH MY GOD WHAT ARE YOU DOING GET AWAY FROM THAT!!!" Berdly screeched at the top of his lungs and leaped towards them. The plate with a sandwhich on it fell to the floor as he grabbed their shoulders and looked at the tray.
Kris stared in shock. That must've why they recognized the smell... it was WEED!!
"You... you do weed? Berdly Berdignton III smokes WEED?" They slowly turned their head to face him. He was crouched on the floor with his head in his hands in shame.
"Yes, YES! I ADMIT IT! I-I know I was in the DARE program and everything... but you just don't understand!" Berdly crawled over and shoved the tray back under the bed. In the process, the blue bong fell over and crashed loudly onto the aluminum tray.
He sat across from them. "Look... you know how, erm, Dess smoked a lot?" The mention of Dess made Kris flinch, but they nodded nonetheless. She would often come over to their house and smoke with Asriel.
"Well, since me and Noelle have always been close friends, she may or may not have accidentally left her weed out in Noelle's living room once." He sighed and his tone became a bit agitated. "I'm not sure WHAT she was thinking introducing an intellectual as young as me to weed! I mean, seriously!"
Kris chuckled into their fist, pulling the tray back out. They slid it between the two and stood up to go and open the window.
"Sorry, I wasn't trying to make fun of you. But why are you holding out on me man?" Berdly stayed seated and stared st them in slight shock.
He grit his teeth and pushed it back under the bed. "Do you seriously think I'm that irresponsible? Why would I ever just give someone this... STUFF?!"
Kris just stared at him.
Berdly stared back, but eventually lost the staring contest.
"Fine. You win, Krismas."
