It was uncommon for him to stay at a school long enough to lose the “new kid” title to someone else. From the look of this guy, he was already out of his depth in the big, scary world of Westerberg High. JD wasn’t known to talk to anyone in this cesspit because he didn’t care to know anybody apart from Veronica.

But he was bored, so why the hell not?

                “Jeeeeeremy.” Michael falls over, laying across Jeremy’s lap, staring up at him. “You promised!”

He’s teasing, mostly. But Jeremy did promise to write a song with Michael, where Jeremy would record the vocal track for it, and it’s been like... two weeks and they just... haven’t done it.

                “You’re not gonna flake out on me, are you dude?” Rocking back up to a sitting position, Michael instead leans his head on Jeremy’s shoulder, giggling and putting an arm around his shoulders.

He might be a liiiiittle high.

Gaster was nearly at the end of his rope with the stress of the Core’s destabilization. It was his own fault, of course, and he never should have attempted crossing over to another universe, but now he had to deal with the consequences. Which, terrifyingly, were that the one thing allowing monsters to spread and grow further into the Underground was no longer consistently working and could very well lead to the magical suffocation of all of those that lived anywhere but the two ends of the cavern.

None of his ideas had worked, either to stabilize the core superficially or to close the opening of the void that was causing it. But . . . a combination of magic and determination seemed like it could work. But he had no more physical DT and he wasn’t willing to obtain more. He wasn’t going to let himself sink that low again.

But, well, he already had a fusion of magic and determination with him, didn’t he? Himself. From when he was first experimenting with the stuff, seeing how much a monster’s soul could be strengthened with it. So he’d taken bits of himself. Cut out pieces from his own hands. It was . . . excruciating. But the tests held promise. More research needed to be done, something was needed to give the determination something to be determined about. But at least there was finally progress.

He was late returning home. Which wasn’t unusual, especially ever since the Core destabilized, but this time rather from working late it was because he was dreading Jeremy noticing his hands. He’d considered wearing gloves, but his hands hurt too much to even move, much less pull something around them, and telekinesis required hand motions so he couldn’t use that, either. He opted instead to let them hang loosely by his side while attempting to hide the bandaged holes.

This worked most of the way home until he came up to the house, and specifically, the door. There was no way he’d be able to turn the handle like this. He needed food, to at least take the edge off the pain if not heal it entirely, but food was inside, and there was a door between him and it. Rather than call for Jeremy’s help, though, he risked the movement required for telekinesis, wincing as he used it to open the door. He gently kicked the door closed after entering, looking around for Jeremy and holding his hands behind his back as naturally as he could. He was not ready for this conversation.

Gaster came across this human stumbling around Snowden, and from what he could tell he was the first monster to find him.

Good, because if others had seen the human, that would make things complicated. 

He won’t let Asgore have to take another life; especially not the life of another child. Or… teenager, technically as far as Gaster can tell.

But now, having taken the human back to his lab where he had intended to take the opportunity to study a live human SOUL, his patience is being testing because the human will not shut up.

@no-upgrade By ten whole days hahaha

                “With how many times you’ve turned up at my house at godawful hours, the least you can do is begrudge me this one time.”

His Mom picked up the night shift because they were short at the hospital, and he really doesn’t like to wake his Ma because she has to deal with 3rd graders at work and children can be frustrating enough when you aren’t woken up at 2 in the morning because your son is on the edge of an anxiety attack.

He doesn’t like to bug Jeremy with this stuff, usually. But he really doesn’t want to be alone, so here he is.

                “Look, Jeremy I’m, just… You can go back to sleep, just, can I hang out here?”

A few months ago he probably wouldn’t have even doubted whether he’d be welcome. When they were younger he’d enter through Jeremy’s window more often than the door. But after he was left alone for as long as he was… It’s hard to feel as at ease about this sort of thing as it used to be.
