Trusting Alphys
*Frisk's POV*
Alphys' outburst had shocked me completely, and I hardly knew what to do.
G wasn't much help, and he studied the notes about the flower, as if it was more important then poor Alphys who was probably crying in her room.
Memories of Bella passed through my mind, and I thought about her smile, her nervous glance, and I remembered her screams of terror and pain while I walked away from the men who killed her.
The men sent by G.
That memory burned my heart, and my feelings for G faded slightly, the realization of the fact he killed innocent people, and was not ignoring Dr. Alphys who lost her girlfriend, was alone for eleven years, and was probably good friends with G before he was a jerk.
Growling, I stomped over to the escalator, angry with G for not even trying to do anything at all.
So I had decided to take matters into my own hands, and I stepped on the ride that lead up.
It was a long ride, yet I didn't dare try and jog up, still needing time for what I would say anyway.
Not only was I worried for Alphys, I was worried about her reaction as well.
Did that mean she couldn't figure it out?
That the Peace Plan would carry on?
That G and I would be stuck with each other, stuck in this stupid running circle until Asriel catches us, kills G and-
Thinking about it made my head hurt, so I stopped and decided to rush up the stairs, making sure my plan was, 'Comfort Alphys, then get help.'
Yet an itching feeling told me that I couldn't get help, that there would be no help.
Ignoring it, I rushed up the escalator, terrified I might trip and fall possibly by getting my shawl stuck in the side or something.
Though it was a silly idea, considering the fact my shawl wasn't long enough to even reach the moving sides.
When I had gotten to the top, I could see a small room with a bed and couch, a large screen on one wall, along with a bookshelf with only comic books.
The walls were a bright pink, yet they seemed dark in the little lamp light. I noticed comics and clothes scattered the floor, and there was desk in the corner with a laptop sitting on it, the home-screen open to a blue fish lady with her tongue sticking out and a peace sign, her arm wrapped around Alphys who was love-struck and happy.
I knew the fish woman must've been her girlfriend, the Undyne lady.
In that picture, I saw enjoyment, and delight.
I truly enjoyed it, and I kept the sweet image in my head as I looked for Alphys.
On the bed, there was a red and white heart bed covering, with matching pillows that had a bright yellow tail sticking out from them.
My eyes latched to the tail, and I quietly walked over to the shuttering pillows, the tail shaking just as much.
"... Alphys?" I took the chance of saying, bringing myself closer to the bed as I used my most calming voice.
There was a shocking yelp for an answer, and the pillows shifted to reveal a scared yellow head, and crystal blue eyes that shimmered with tears.
"Oh poor Alphys," I thought aloud, sitting on the edge of the bed as I reached my hand out to the trembling pillows, "This is a lot for your head to take in... Isn't it?"
Thinking of all the pressure she could be going through, I suddenly felt guilty and selfish for only thinking of myself.
G as well, but I didn't count him, realizing he was more selfish then I was in the situation.
Her shaking continued but her whimpers softened as her eyes looked up at mine, a smile passing my lips as I noticed her childlike eyes.
Her Bella like eyes.
Regret.
Stop it.
I fought with myself silently until I remembered I was here for Alphys, not myself.
"Do you wanna talk about it?" I asked softly, realizing I was aching to hear the same words said to me.
How selfish could I be in a time like this?
Wasn't I trying to help Alphys?
Hesitating, the doctor sniffed and sat up to let the pillows fall off her.
She hugged a heart shaped pillow and glanced at her computer screen before crawling over to me and sitting on her legs.
"Y-You'll let m-me talk t-t-to you?"
Her stutter was worse as it cracked from innocent fear, and I nodded with a kind smile, thinking to myself, 'I will not abandon this one.'
Alphys sniffed again and whipped her nose as she looked at me with calmed eyes.
"O-Okay..."
"... Would you like to tell me why you reacted that way...?" I asked sweetly, making this all about her.
Yet it was out of selfish curiosity wasn't it?
This wasn't for her.
No matter how hard I tried, it wasn't about her.
And I sickened myself to realize that G had rubbed off on me, and I needed to get away from him as soon as possible.
"I-I..." The doctor stuttered, and I felt pity and warmth overwhelm my heart as I pulled her into a comforting hug.
Bursting into tears, she hugged back.
I didn't know what I was doing at the time, or how I would accomplish my goal, yet I had one, and it was to help Alphys in any way I could.
Imagining her poor little self all alone for eleven years in a lab covered with dust, made my heart just melt it's selfish ways away, and made me hug her as tightly as I could without giving her pain.
Alphys cried, and I let her as I rubbed her back, in no rush to force out her words, in no mood to fight in urgency.
I still felt as if I had all the time in the world, and I didn't mind the long crying she did while I held her.
It was like holding a sweet child who was traumatized their whole life.
It was the same urge to comfort them and take care of them with all my might, ignoring my own stupid problems just to help that one child.
Here I am, saying how humble I was when it was all just selfish want.
Right?
Though before, while I held her in my arms, comforting her with soothing words and a soft song I heard when I first entered the Underground, I felt nothing except the need and want to help her.
Great Dr. Alphys, who would save me, protect me from the fierce Asriel, was crying in my arms when she hadn't cried to anyone in eleven years.
Though I never spoke first, she didn't either, yet I didn't force it, and I let her cry out her tears before speaking.
In between tears I would hear her hiccup a word like, "Tried" or "Undyne".
Yet the most common thing I heard was "I'm sorry."
Except it made me feel guilty and shameful to hear her say sorry to me, when really I was the one shoving all the pressure into her face.
Finally, after a long while and soaking tears, Alphys let go of me and didn't bother wiping her eyes as she hugged the pillow again and whispered in a soft voice, "W-When y-you told me about A-Asriel... I-It was very p-powerful because I-I knew h-him very well... I-I served him and he was a-always nice to me..."
Even though I knew she stuttered, her voice cracked, and sounded strained, as if each word was fake meat through a machine.
It made me skeptical about her words, yet seeing her innocent blue eyes, and her trembling bottom lip, I realized she was just terrified.
Was she terrified of me?
Even the mere thought in my mind made me determined to help her even more.
"I-I... I just can't i-imagine him ever doing that... T-To anyone..."
Looking into her eyes, I noticed them flick around nervously, trembling and sweating as if she was back to normal.
A little worse then before though.
"It's alright Alphys..." I soothed, holding her clawed hand, "I shouldn't have sprung it on you like that..."
Sniffing, Alphys wiped her nose with her sleeve again and smiled weakly, her lips curling and her eyes softening. Her eyebrows furrowed together as if she was concerned, but I knew she was just nervous.
"Y-You are such a kind person..." She stuttered, looking even more nervous and almost ashamed, "I-I'm glad the l-last human soul is k-kind... I-I didn't w-want you to be l-like G..."
Chuckling a bit, I raised my eyebrows and nodded in agreement as I said, "Yeah I wouldn't want that either... I apologize hes being so weird and rude, I hope you two were friends before."
Hoping to get a backstory, I smiled warmly at Alphys.
Yet I was surprised when she just answered, "You l-love him don't you..."
Not expecting this, I blushed a deep color that was the same color as the pillow that was still clinging to her front.
Knowing that there was no point in lying to Alphys, I stared at her blankly with my lips pressed in a line as I nodded slowly, still debating in my head if it was true or not.
Alphys' smile suddenly seemed much more real, and her eyes shined with excitement like when she had first found out I had a soul of Determination.
"O-Oh my god! I-I knew it! Y-You see I have a knack f-for shipping and I knew that you loved him! It was a little obvious in the way you moved."
Blushing more, I shrunk and looked away bashfully, scolding myself for letting my emotion take over my actions.
"Does he love you back?" Alphys asked, her voice more clear then before and her eyes glistening with enjoyment and interest.
I was sure my entire face was a strawberry, and I knew that there was no hiding my emotions.
Besides, I had been dying to tell someone about how I felt.
Alphys was perfect, and it was like talking to Bella again.
"I-I don't know!" I said, feeling like a little teenage girl instead of a full grown adult as Alphys squealed and clapped her hands.
"D-Do you think he does?" I asked, my heart fluttering with excitement and hope.
If she had known about my love, could she know about G's?
The thought made my heart skip a beat and I wondered why I even cared.
All of this would be over as soon as I got away from him.
"It's h-hard to tell with him! He's really g-good at acting," She said, smiling wide with her eyes glimmering.
Memories flashed from every time I had thought those words, and I shook my head, clouding my words and thinking with love-sick drama.
It felt so good talking to someone about this.
"I know!" I sighed and fell back on the bed, my body feeling light and my head feeling empty, "Oh I don't even know why he makes me feel this way! When I think of him, or when I'm around him, my heart skips a beat and I can't feel my legs!"
Alphys just giggled at my actions and covered her mouth with her reptile hands while she watched me.
"But I also hate him!" I claimed, shooting up with a smile on my face as I looked right at Alphys, enjoying every moment of her listening to me, "I hate him so much it aches! Yet I don't know if I really love him or not because it could be fake!"
"No!" Alphys said, just as giddy as I, "I-I mean... L-Love is a one time t-thing right?"
"Right... but this could be a stupid crush, something that only comes around, acts like love, then leaves."
Sighing, I fell back again and felt myself relax.
"Sometimes I don't know if I want it to be a crush or love..."
Alphys squealed again and she fell back with her legs kicking in the air.
Seeing her this happy snapped me back into reality and I smiled wide at her enjoyment.
Feeling just as happy I giggled, and realized I was already considering Alphys as a friend.
And all we needed to do was listen to each other.
After a while of talking about anime, Alphys decor, and of course, my feelings with G, we both calmed down to our normal selves, and blushed at all the information we had given out.
"W-Well-" Alphys started with a smile.
Though her words were cut short, and her smile twitched as her face fell and her eyes flicked all over again.
'Back to normal,' I thought to myself, feeling slightly disappointed, yet happy we could go back to being adults.
"So..." I said, realizing Alphys wasn't going to continue, "... You can see that even if Asriel was good back then... He has changed... and it wasn't for the better..."
Looking away, Alphys stared at her bed hearts intensely, her eyes wide with anxious nerve.
"And... We're friends right? So please..." I grabbed her hands again and she turned to me sharply, shaking and sweating as if she was afraid again.
I continued softly, "... I need your help..."
Her eyes were intense, and they stared at me without blinking, which made me nervous and worried at how she might react.
Except she just shook her head, and pulled her hands from mine.
She quickly went down the escalator.
Following her, full of determination, not willing to give up on this, I called, "Alphys please!"
Rushing down after her, I passed the room G was in, and I hadn't noticed his terrified face at the time, because my focus was on Alphys who made it to the main floor again.
"Alphys!" I said, afraid of what could happen if she didn't help us.
Would she?
No, could she?
It made me sick, and I needed an answer right then before I exploded.
Finally, I grabbed her shoulders and whipped her around to face me.
"Alphys I need your help! Please!"
Her eyes were full of tears again, except they were terrified, and her mouth was open with a trembling bottom lip that wouldn't stop shaking as she whispered in the softest voice:
"I-I can't..."
G suddenly raced down the escalator with his slim speed and held a paper in his hand, his eyes wide with shock and almost anger.
Yet there was also fear and he grabbed my wrist, yanking me away from Alphys who hung her head in shame.
"Dollface we need to get out of here," He said, his voice quick with worry and urgency as he tried to pull me.
Oh how stupid I was for stopping.
Oh how much regret there was!
"What? Why?" I asked in the same voice, my tone confused and worried.
"NOW!" He shouted, trying to pull me again.
What held me back was Alphys, and the want to help her, to understand her.
Yet G looked at her with furious anger and he clutched the paper tightly before throwing it at her terrified face.
"WE TRUSTED YOU!" He yelled with anger, Alphys shaking with shame and weakness.
Now I was terribly confused, and I looked at G with shock and worry as I asked, "G! What are you doing?!"
That's when I heard Alphys whispering to herself over and over, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry."
Everything was happening fast, and suddenly, I knew why she was apologizing.
I knew why G was mad.
I knew why she was off like G had said.
I knew why she was so nervous, why she had that flower, why she was crying.
Because at that moment, Crew members jumped out from hiding.
They came from under tables, behind curtains, under sheets, they surrounded us.
G trembled, and I noticed it slightly as he moved closer to me, our backs touching as we stared around in fear and shock at what was going on.
Yet the one thing I noticed more then anything else in the room:
Was the Prince who was hiding as well, his cloak swaying, and his blue eyes shinning with a smirk pinned to his curling lips.
