Chapter 40 - Storming In (Pt. 1)
"Death, wake up," Geno whispered, poking Death's cheek.
"Nooooooo," Death dragged on, hugging Geno closer to him.
Geno sighed. Last night they had officially started dating, so they continued watching Geno's anime until they had fallen asleep on the couch. When Cross and Nightmare had come back from the store, Cross tossed a blanket over them and called it a night, leaving Nightmare in the living room. So, now Death and Geno had drawings of unicorns and the word "Idiot" across their skulls.
"Death, we have to wash off our skulls," Geno said, trying to pull away from Death.
"I'm sleeping, shut up," Death said, shifting slightly.
"Seriously, we have marker marks all over our skulls, we have to go wash it off," Geno persisted.
"The cost of leaving my cuddles is one kiss," Death said, cracking open his eye sockets to look down at his new boyfriend.
"I hate you," Geno muttered, kissing his cheek.
"On the teeth," Death said, tapping his teeth.
"Fine," Geno said, trying to kiss Death lightly.
However, Death bused his arms to smash their teeth together in a longer kiss, Geno wrapping his hands around Death's neck as he scooted up a tad to be able to kiss him better.
"You guys are interrupting my eating," Nightmare said from the couch.
They both turned to see Nightmare sitting on the couch with a bored expression, eating cereal dry from the box with a large spoon. Geno immediately blushed and pulled away from the sudden intrusion of their moment.
"You could've just left," Death said, floating off the couch to fix his cloak.
"But I'm eating," Nightmare argued, "And I was here all night, you guys invaded on my cereal eating, not the other way around."
"I have to go wash this off," Geno said, rubbing at his skull as he shuffled to the nearest bathroom.
"I'll join you," Death offered, floating after him.
"I'm not taking a bath or shower!" Geno yelled, his face flustered, "I'm using the sink and a washcloth!"
"You didn't object to doing that in the near future," Death said as they walked into the hallway.
"Shut up!" Geno yelled, running towards the bathroom as Death practically chased after him.
"I heard yelling," Cross muttered, walking into the living room as he yawned.
"Death was trying to have sex with Geno and Geno wasn't denying it," Nightmare said simply.
"I have a feeling that story is different then what actually happened," Cross said, stretching his arms behind his head.
"It might be," The shorter of the two shrugged, "It's just a more descriptive interpretation of what happened."
"I'm going to go eat coco-puffs," Cross said, waving off the situation, "Just let it go, Nightmare."
"When I get my form back I'm going to kill you!"

"He did what?" Ink asked, dropping the spoon that he was going to feed P.J with.
"I'm not really sure how!" PurpleFluffball said in a panic, "He just showed up last night and asked what you needed from me since he knew it wasn't a painting! And he said he knows you come here every morning because he saw the texts about you coming here over your shoulder when you were eating lunch and wanted to know why and what time you came over! I told him it was for art supplies."
"Did he believe you?" Ink asked, repacking up the spoon and holding it out for P.J to eat off of.
"I... I'm sorry Ink, I really don't know. I had Fresh still here with all of the baby stuff so he might have assumed it was for Fresh, but I honestly don't know." She apologized.
"It's not your fault, Errors been really persistent lately," Ink said, "Did anything else happen?"
"Well," She thought for a moment, "Nothing really, he just stared at me like he was trying to intimidate me to give him the answers. I will admit, he's terrifying when he's determined to get answers and came in announced, but I stuck to my promise to you."
"Thank you," Ink sighed with relief, "Is it going to be safe to drop him off this morning?"
"I haven't seen him yet," PurpleFluffball said, "It's your choice, really. He might come here, he might not. If he does I'll try my best to hide P.J, but I didn't know he was in my shop until he spoke last time. I know you're scared, but honestly, you should tell him. That child is a part of his soul, they both will feel empty without a full family. Error should as least know he has a child, Ink, that's literally-"
PurpleFluffball suddenly cut off in her sentence, making Ink raise his eyebrows with confusion.
"...Are you there?" He asked.
"I'm really, really sorry Ink," She suddenly said.
"Why?" He asked, confusing flooding his face as he fed P.J another spoonful of baby food.
"Error... He was in here, I didn't notice, I swear," She said, "He heard me at least say the last part, he just left the shop. I think hes coming to your house, Ink, he knows about P.J now. I'm really sorry."

Sci wasn't going to wait around anymore, he knew some thing bad was happening to Fell whenever he left, because there was another crack in his skull, and when he asked about it, he said the same three guys that attacked him before found him.
So once again, his story was completely off from the original.
And Sci wasn't going to screw around anymore.
So when Fell left his desk, Sci followed him, and even caught up to him, grabbing his arm and pulling him back.
"Fell, what's going on?" Sci asked.
"I just left my phone in my car," Fell said, pulling his arm away and making his was towards the elevator.
"Your phone is right here, in your pocket, I can see the outline of it," Sci said, pulling Fell's phone out of his pocket.
"Sh*t," Fell muttered, looking over at his hand before he stressed out another excuse, "I meant my lunch."
"You never eat lunches, Fell," Sci said, crossing his arms, "That's another problem. You never eat in public but you're perfectly fine eating in private. What's with that? And why do you always leave at the same time every night?"
"I'm not having the conversation," Fell said.
He shoved Sci off of him, who fell backwards as his co-worker ran to the elevator and rapidly pressed the button to call it up.
"Why aren't the d*m doors opening?" Fell asked, pressing the button over and over.
"I jammed the doors to the staircase," Sci explained as he stood up, "And I hacked the elevator so it won't work unless I give it permission to from my computer. Also, I jammed the doors to the Office. You can only leave this area if I allow you or you break down a wall, Fell."
"What will it take for you to take down the doors?" Fell said, worry lacing with his voice, "I really need to get downstairs, you don't understand."
"We'll start off with what really happened that night before you went to the hospital," Sci said.
"I already told, some-"
"I know you're lying!" Sci pressured him, "You're story is never the same, you've mixed it up at least three times. Tell the truth."
Fell pulled at his collar, looking away nervously.
"Um..." He said, "Well, there was a girl stuck in a tree, and... I'm secretly superman."
"You are the worst liar in existence," Sci said.
"I'm not good at thinking of excuses on the spot," Fell grumbled.
"Just tell the truth, Fell, please!" The skeleton with glasses pleaded, "I care about you and I don't want you hurt! Wherever you're going to is hurting you!"
"If I don't go, Edge is going to hurt Blue!" Fell said, "So let me go downstairs, now!"
"What?" Sci asked, blinking as he stared in utter shock.
"Edge and I have an agreement!" Fell explained, "As long as I go to him twice a day to get beaten around a bit, he won't use Blue as a punching bag!"
"...What?" Sci asked, rather confused.
"Do you really think someone like Edge wouldn't take advantage over someone like Blue? He takes out his anger through beating something, that's why he asked out Blue, so he could be close to someone easy to control that wouldn't fight back! I know what Edge is capable of, I've lived with him all my life! So, I made a deal with him. If he doesn't hurt Blue, I'll sit there and take his beatings every night and not teleport away, like I usually did, do Blue doesn't have to. That night he was really angry, and I accidentally overdosed, ok? Are you satisfied now?"
"When did this start?" Sci asked softly.
"Freshman year," Fell said, "When he met Blue."
"All of those cracks... All those broken bones... Was from Edge?" Sci asked.
"It was rather me or Blue," Fell said, "And I decided to take it for him, 'cause I'm such a nice guy. And he'd die, since Edge gets pretty brutal when he gets angry."
"How much does he hit you?"
"Let's see... around twice a good day. Three times if Blue did something childish, so usually three."
"Is that why you don't eat...?"
"If he sees me eating, he yells at me... And if I ignore him, he makes them worse."
"You're own brother does that to you?" Sci asked Fell.
Fell looked to the side, crossing his arms as he narrowed his eyes. He then tightened his grip on his bones as he started trembling, tears threatening to spill from his eye sockets.
"I-It's fine!" He forced out, a few tears rolling down his face, "It's o-ok, I c-can handle it! I-It's always been t-this way, I starve m-myself, let h-him h-h-hit me..."
"You don't deserve this!" Sci said, hugging Fell and resting his skull against his chest, "That isn't how siblings are supposed to be!"
"I hate it!" Fell cried out, "How you and your brother are so nice to each other, why can't I have that type of relationship? I just want to be loved! My parents never gave it to me, and Edge never gave it to me... I just..."
"It's ok to cry," Sci said, "It's ok, just let it out, I'm here."
So they simply stood there in the hallway, Fell rambling about how he just wants his brothers love as Sci comforted him.
Sci hated how he didn't try this sooner. He knew there was something bad going on with his crush, but he didn't know it was this bad. An abusive relationship with a sibling is the worst, Sci couldn't imagine him ever hurting Scirus.
Why would Edge do that to anyone, especially his own family?
Listening to Fell's story, and watching as his defensive walls crumble down, it broke Sci's soul. Years of mental and physical torture with no one to tell had taken it's toll on the poor soul, it all spilling out in that moment.
"I just want someone to love me!" Fell whispered.
"Well, I hope I'm enough," Sci said, grabbing the side of his skull and moving it towards him, "Because I love you Fell, a lot. And I think if you were an element, you'd be the element of awesomeness. So don't let his words get to you, because someone really cares about you."
Fell brought a hand up to rest it over Sci's, more tears pouring from his eye sockets.
"That's the first time anyone ever said that to me," Fell said, blinking away a few tears, "You have no idea how much that means to me."

More ships are official! Yay! Thanks to all of you who are reading this, it really makes me happy that people care about my crazy Crap that I write.
I'm going to start putting UnderTale themed videos I want to share under here with my A/N since I have no one else to share them with, #Sad.
And how did I ever exist without UnderTale? I can't imagine my life without finding out about UnderTale. If I haven't watched a playthrough of it on Youtube, what would be my life?
And these are pretty short, too.
