"Not really . . ." Corthy's looking at the skeletons that were walking near them.

He glances at the skeletons and back to Corthy "what's wrong?"

"I told you about my past, right?"

Killer's eyes widened in realization and he looks around "y-yeah you did... that's here?"

Corthy nodded, he rubbed his damaged eyesocket again.

Killer looked at him his brows pinched. "why are you here?"

"Just looking around, just curious about how my old friends are doing . . ."

Killer falls silent looking at the few skeletons passing by with a judgmental gaze. He's not sure what to say and he shuffles his feet awkwardly and puts a hesitant arm around Corthy.

"Hm?" Corthy looks at him.

Killer glances at Corthy's face and looks away, avoiding eye contact.

"uhm sorry still not great at the whole comforting thing" Killer sweats patting Corthy lightly "um wanna talk about it?"

"We could . . . " Corthy's still looking at him.

"well i'm all ears." Killer looks back at Corthy "heh well i'm sans ears actually."

Corthy snickered, he looked around, "Can we go sit somewhere? Or just go somewhere else? It's kinda hot here . . ."

"yeah, where'd you wanna go?" He takes his arm from around Corthy and holds his hand out for him to take.

Corthy took his hand "Waterfall? Or Snowdin"

Killer nods and ports them to Snowdin.

Corthy looks around and found an empty bench, he sat down.

Killer sits next to him "well i may be sans ears but i can still listen"

"Isn't it interesting that the world could work perfectly without you?"

Killer nods looking at Corthy.

"Here you have a proof of this, everything just works perfectly without me, everyone is happy, everyone is happier without me . . . " Corthy curled up a bit.

Killer puts an arm around Corthy a little more confidently.

"i doubt everyone is happier without you. i'm sure people would miss you if they could remember..." Killer scratched the back of his head awkwardly, squeezing Corthy lightly with the arm around him.

"Maybe . . . But I wasn't an exactly good person . . . I hurt a lot of people before my accident . . . "

"so you hurt people." Killer shrugs "they probably hurt you too and what does a 'good person' mean anyways..?"

"I almost killed someone when i was 14, just because he looked a bit different . . ."

"so???" Killer pauses and sweats.

"well... i mean... uh... um... look... you know why they call me killer? right? i dunno cor... i'm sorry, that's rough... but also, fuck em? if you regret it, don't do it again i guess. but also, fuck em." He shrugs.

Corthy doesn't know what to say, He's slightly shaking.

Killer sweats fuck. shit, i think i made it worse "uhhh... wanna hug?"

Corthy nodded slightly.

Killer wraps his arms around Corthy and rests his head on the smaller skeleton's and blushes he's so tiny!

Corthy smiles a bit, he hugged him back, hiding his face in Killer' clothes.

Corthy's feeling cold, but it's a bit better, a quiet purr came out of him.

Killer's eyes widened and his face grew hot. He trembled, not sure how to process what he's feeling. His own purr rumbled from his chest.
