How would the Gasters react to sitting by their s/o's deathbed, having watched them age over the years, and on the verge of outliving them completely?
Undertale (Song associated)He doesnât understand how this happened, well he knew how but he didnât understand why. Why did humans live such a short time. Why was their body so fragile. Why after so long, were you slipping away. He couldnât believe it, it was so much to bare. The sun in the sky, his stars in the night, he was losing them. At first he was in shock, and all the emotions came at once. He was reluctant to let go, he was sitting by them constantly. Telling them to hold on just a little long, âa little longer, pleaseâ he would beg. One night, they shake him awake and whisper with a parched throat, âBe strong, okay dear? Iâm here, you have nothing to fear. Please hold on, after Iâm gone.âThey pass the next morning.
Underfell (Song associated)After years of getting close to them, finally opening up, theyâre slipping away from him. Everyday theyâre getting weaker and weaker, their body breaks down more and more. He snaps at the palliative care doctors constantly in the beginning. Heâs not used to losing a person so close to him, the emotions of sadness and regret have never rung this loud in his head. He wants to hide, he wantâs to cry, but they a sure him that theyâll always be there, even if he canât see them, âTrust in me.â they say to him tenderly before the doctors inject a drug to put them into a medical coma to ease their pain, âJust try and keep it together, you can do better.â a single tear falls from his eye as he watches them struggle slightly against the drug, their tired eyes refusing to close.
Underswap (Song associated)Heâs watched people die for years. Theyâre another notch under his belt⌠doesnât mean it hurts any less though. He strokes their face and whispers silly things to them, trying to keep their spirits high as much as he can. âThis isnât goodbye you know.â they smile up at him. âI knowâ he says back with a weak smile.âIâm not gonna promise that you wonât feel sad, but remember youâll never be alone.â they reach into their bedside and pull out an old scarf, âWhen it gets hard, wrap this around you and remember our love.â.âI will follow you some day.â he says, gently placing his forehead on theirs.âI know.â they kiss his face gently, âIâm tired now.âOutertale (Song associated)âIf only you could be here.â he says to them from his back room.âI would if I could.â they say weakly.âI want to be with you right now so bad.â he sobs, leaning against the wall.âI would love you here too.ââThereâs people here I havenât seen in forever, theyâre asking about you and I have no idea what to say.ââTell them I say hi, and that itâs been a good year. Throw a toast in my name.ââYou should be here throwing a toast.â heâs now full on crying, âYouâd be loving this. Youâd be all over this. God I wish you could be here.ââBaby, if I had one wish, itâd be that I wouldnât have to miss this. But go on. have fun, and I love you.ââI love you too.â
Mertale (Song associated)You asked to be brought to the ocean, just one last time. So a close friend of yours brings you to the pier and you walk down to the water, calling out for Gaster. You wade into the water and sit down. The giant fish comes up to you and lays his head in your lap. You stroke his head and tell him youâre gonna be leaving soon. He looks up at you oddly and asks âwhere are you goingâ you then explain that youâre getting old and are probably not going to be alive much longer. He refuses to accept this and starts being vocal, which in his case is horrid screeches, once you get him calm you explain that it happens with humans. They get old, and they die, much faster than mermaids do. After your final visit, you kiss the top of his head goodbye and head back to the pier. You look your friend dead in the eyes and say âSink me in the ocean when I die.â
