Don't Ever Forget...brother (Rebornplates one-shot)
Trigger warning: Major character's death
Zeyada, the Riverperson, brought their twin brother out of the Void. But no matter how hard they tried to save him...death will always find a way to shatter their reunion.
Ok, you guys will hate me for writing my first angst one-shot and behind the scene of a character's death, and this event takes place around chapter one. And I was sobbing like a baby for writing this, so, yeah. Oh, I was listening to Don't Ever Forget from the PMD series, and boy, that song is a tear-jerker.

He couldn't do it. He just can't...as Zeyada was on the verge of tears while they watch their twin slowly turn to dust. Both brothers knew it was the end of their reunion even when Zeyada brought Gaster out of the VOID...saving him was meaningless. No matter how hard they tried to prevent their brother's fate, the results stayed the same....no one can escape death.
"B-bubba, I'm scared," Gaster weakly spoke as he was kept close to Zeyada's arm. "I-I don't wanna die...not yet." Zeyada didn't say anything; how could they? No words could express how they felt right now as they just sat silently while holding their brother close to their chest. "Brother? Do you still love me? Will you miss me? When I'm gone for good this time?" He asked them quietly as he weakly clung his hands to Zeyada's cloak.
*KLKL KLKL KLKL KLKL KLKL*
"I CAN'T DO IT. DAMN IT!!" They yelled as tears finally flowed as the dam shattered.
"I-I CAN'T LOSE YOU, GASTER, NOT AGAIN!" They sobbed as it was hard for them since they had to let each other go, as it was the end of Gaster's life here on the EARTH as death was slowly drawing near. "P-PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME!! I NEED YOU, BROTHER!!"
Gaster smiled weakly as his body slowly faded away; as he was tearing up, he had to be strong for his twin. "I know you do, Zeyada. But we both agreed that I must do this to redeem myself." He calmly said, "You wanted me to have a second chance to live a happy life, even if it meant giving up my memories to start a new one."
Poor Zeyada was shaken and sobbing as they knew their brother was right, and they couldn't stop death from doing its job like it is a cycle of life after all. Minutes slowly passed, and Gaster's body almost turned to dust; without losing a second, he had one last thing to say to his beloved twin.
"Bubba? Can you do me a favor before I fade away?" He asked his twin brother.
"W-what is it, brother?" they responded as Zeyada sniffed and wiped away the tears from his face.
"I-I want you to take care of Sans and Papyrus for me and raise them as your sons and tell them I'm sorry for everything I have done to them." He said, "And tell them I never hated them. I sincerely loved them the moment I first saw them, and they were the joy of my life...even if it was a short while."
Zeyada was shocked at what their brother had requested during his final moment, and without a second thought, they took his offer.
"Yes, my dear brother I-I will." He said again, crying as this was too much for them to bear. "I promise you I will love your sons and watch them grow into young adults."
"Thank you, Bubba," Gaster smiled one last time. "And please, don't ever forget...brother." Just like that, Gaster was gone only thing left of him was his dust and clothes still hanging on by Zeyada.
No response, only silence.
Zeyada cried out his deceased brother's name as they sobbed while clutching their brother's grey sweater, which was currently covered in dust. They kept sobbing over and over, knowing they had to do this...the rebirth...raising his nephews. It had to be done, for it was their brother's last wish. Maybe someday they'll meet again in the near future.
