"Asriel, I'm fine, really." You sigh as he puts you down on your bed. Frisk was about to sit next to you, but you shake your head. "You might get sick if you're too close to me, Frisk."

"So you are sick." Asriel raised a brow and crossed his arms, his foot tapping impatiently.

"I didn't say that-"

"You kind of did when you warned Frisk about getting infected."

"..."

You cross your own arms and gave him a glare. It didn't make him budge.

"Frisk, why don't you play with G downstairs? I'll take care of Y/N." He smiles at Frisk. Frisk looks at you, then at Asriel. You widen your eyes to see his mischievous expression on his face. Oh dear, the little child ships you with him.

"Alrighty!" He smiles wide and rushes outside your room.

Nooooo Frisk, don't leave me-

"You should lie down. I'll just go and get the aid kit." Asriel says and leaves as he closes the door behind him.

You stood carefully and took off G's jacket. You slightly blushed and put it in your closet for a while. You took a clean set of clothes and started stripping. You placed the wet string bag beside the bed as you realize that even your undergarments are wet so you went and checked the closet. You found some and took it out.

Your heart sank when you hear the door open.

"Y/N, here-" Asriel stopped dead and saw you. His face went crimson red, and so is yours.

Jee, fvck my life.

"I'msorryitwon'thappenagain-" He said in one breath and slammed the door closed.

Asriel leaned on the door as he breathed deeply. He rubbed his eyes, hoping to erase what he had just seen. He's afraid that when he goes inside again, you might kill him.

"Asriel." You say from the other side.

His heart skipped a beat and quietly stated his prayers. "Y-yes...?"

"You can come in now."

R. I. P. Asriel's soul.

He went inside cautiously to see you in a new set of clothes. You were wearing a white tee and red sweatshorts with a white stripe on each side. You were drying out your hair with a small towel.

He blushed at the sight of you. "S-sorry..."

You averted your gaze with a nervous laugh. "It's okay, it was an accident..."

Asriel walked towards you as you sit on the bed. "I'll check your temperature now." he took out a thermometer and handed it to you.

You put it in your mouth. "Where do you get these stuff?" you blurted out incoherently.

For some reason, Asriel understood whatever the hell you said. "When G goes hunting."

"Oh." you say. You watch him take a wet towel and squeeze it, the excess water from it falling inside a bowl. "You're good at this."

"Good at what?" He chuckles. He gestures you to lie down, and you obeyed. He takes the thermometer and examines it. "Yup, you have a fever."

"But I'm fine-!"

"Whatever makes you sleep at night, sweetheart." He smiles as he puts the wet towel on your forehead. You blushed at what he called you and tried to hide under the blanket.

"Okay okay, I'm gonna try to sleep." you say.

"Okay. I'll be right here when you need me." you hear him. You hear him shuffling around and a soft thud.
He was sitting on the floor beside your bed, reading a book.

For some reason, his presence didn't help you sleep. But you were sleepy.

Author's narration is good.

You turned to your side and peeked through a small gap you made with the blanket. You noticed he was wearing black jogger pants paired with a gray, long sleeved shirt with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows. You admit, he looks kind of hot.

Everyone in the household is somewhat attractive.

But of course, you excluded yourself.

You fidegeted under the blanket as you can't fall asleep. You were kind of watching him read as he flips the next page. You were feeling kind of perverted, honestly.

"Y/N?" He says as he turns his head unexpectedly to your direction. You widen your eyes as it met his ocean blue ones. "I thought you were asleep."

"I-I can't..." you say, flustered. He fully turned his body to you, making you even more flustered. At least he doesn't think that you've been watching him.

If it were G, he would've knew instantly and say something cheesy like 'like what you see?'.

You furrowed your brows as you remembered the first time you two met. And those were his first words.

"Should I tell you a story?" he asks teasingly.

You wore an unimpressed look and sat up. "...fine."

Asriel smiles and sit on your bed next to you. His leg touched tours as he hoisted it on your bed while the other swayed at the edge of the bed. It gave you tingles.

"I used to have a younger sister." he started. "She was like you, actually. She's brave and smart, but cares deeply about her family.

We grew up together as close siblings. Sometimes, we would argue but make up right after. One day, she went out to buy me medicine ship my parents were busy ruling the kingdom. I was sick, so she was taking care of me. At the end of the day, she...never came back. She just disappeared. My dad thought the humans kidnapped her, so He has a huge grudge against mankind." he stared down at his paws that were clasped together. "So I guess that's why I wanted to take care of you today..."

You just stared at him. You felt sorry. Why would a monster so kind and nice feel this pain?

He doesn't deserve this.

"I wouldn't leave you though." Asriel mutters. You slightly blushed.

"Thank you." you say.

He looks at you with a look that made your heart quake. His expression was sad, yet it showed love.

Depressing Love.

This was a double meaning for Asriel though. This was because of his lost sister, and the fact that he knew your heart was beating for someone else already.

He turns away. "I'll let you rest." he stands, takes his book, and opens the door.

You were about to call him back, but for some reason your words weren't audible.

The door was shut closed.

····

Asriel went downstairs to see G and Frisk playing snakes and ladders.

"I win!" Frisk exclaimed, throwing his hands up in the air with A cheer.

"Again? You're really good at this." G crosses his arms with a fake frown. He saw you and instantly changed his expression. "Az, how's Y/N?"

Asriel blinked. "She's resting. She has a fever though." he averted his gaze as he rubbed the back of his neck. He felt uncomfortable.

But G doesn't notice this. "Is that so?" he responds. "Is it fine to visit her?"

"G, she has a fever, not the plague."

"Yeah yeah, okay." G pats Frisk's head. "Mind if I check on your sister for a bit?"

Frisk smiles wide and nods. "It's fine. I'll play with Asriel instead!" He stands and pulls Asriel to sit down.

G nods and goes up the stairs.

····

You were staring outside the window. It's still raining pretty hard.

You heard the door open, and whip your head around to see G leaning on the door frame. "How are ya', kitten?"

"I'm good. Just a bit tired though." you respond as be walks over to sit on your bed.

"So, uh, Az did a good job on takin' care of ya'?"

You nod.

...

Silence.

"Listen, G, about earlier. I-"

"Don't worry about that." he cuts you off rather harshly. He didn't want to think about that event anymore. It's making him feel things he doesn't want to and can't feel.

You were a bit hurt by this. "But-"

"It's fine, Y/N. Forget about it."

Somewhere in your heart, something cracked. You can't forget about it. You don't want to. Everything you're feeling right now is because of him.

"I shouldn't be disturbing ya', sorry." he stands.

No, don't leave.

He was by the door.

Stay. Please.

He grabs the doorknob.

You were about to call him back--

"G, wait."

He stops mid-way. To be honest, he didn't want to leave. Even though he's not supposed to feel attached to you, he's trying his best to ignore his emotions. But He can't help it; he was hoping you'd call him back.

And you did.

...hee hee hee--

Sorry to ruin the moment-

He turns as fear struck you.

Game over. You were in love with him. Or maybe just like. But either way, it scared you. You can't fall for him. You just can't.

But you did.

Because you called his name, and not Asriel's.

You liked him, for his cold attitude, yet warm nature.

Goodluck, Y/N.

···

As Asriel took care of you, you realized a lot of things. And your feelings for a certain monster whom you thought you despised.
