Spontaneous Coincidence

Fandom: Boku no Hero Academia Pairing: Shinsou x Uraraka Character(s): Uraraka Ochako, Shinsou Hitoshi Rating: SFW Word count: 2,159

A/N: @shinchakoweek​ prompt - 02. Coffee & Tea. Quirkless AU, College setting! I have so many ideas for this one, let's see which one fits better~

A few weeks passed since the encounter at the Night club... It feels like forever ago now. Ochako had gone back to that bar a couple of times throughout the month, hoping to maybe find the familiar head of dusty lavender hair but she either just kept missing him or he just hadn’t been back. And given the fact that she had found him at the bar looking like he didn’t want to be in the first place, she felt a little stupid in hoping to see him there again. It would have been by pure luck that he’d be there again if only his friends dragged him back and she wasn’t sure that it would happen so soon.

School continued to demand most of her attention as she worked as hard as she could on finishing assignments and passing tests- all of which was draining her mentally. College education was important, especially if you have a specific goal in mind for your future, but it was so demanding that Ochako felt like it was sucking her soul out of her little by little. And she still had three more years of this! ‘I’m going to be a husk of a person by the time I graduate. IF I even get that far!!’ She groaned to herself as she slumped at her desk, pressing her face against the cool pages of her textbook.

As she stared off, her thoughts wandered to give herself a bit of a break as she looked around her room from where she was planted in her book. Quite a few thoughts filtered through in rapid secession. She needed to water her plants, had she gone shopping yet? Was there something ready-made in the mini-fridge all ready to eat, or did she need to get up and make something? Should she go to the commons? Maybe he’d be there- No, stop it, he probably doesn’t go to this Uni. But still... No! She needed to focus on her work, not some cute boy she spent a couple of hours with at random. 

She peeled her face off the weird plastic-y paper of her textbook and shook her head at herself, patting her cheeks. “Come on, Ocha. Get yourself together.” And then she just sat there for a few minutes, staring at the words on the page. It felt like minutes, but just a couple seconds had gone by before she pushed the book away. “Screw this.” She huffed, pulling away from her desk and getting up.

She didn’t know where she was going, but getting out of the dorm was her top priority, so when she ended up on the sidewalk heading into town she wasn’t at all surprised. Her feet were carrying her back towards the club, but she realized that pretty quickly and on a whim decided to head into the coffee shop she was standing next to instead. She needed to stop chasing her thoughts. For all she knew, Mr. Art Major was probably from a different city altogether and was just spending the weekend with his friends. ‘It would explain why he got dragged to the club when he clearly didn’t want to be there.’  

She tried to distract herself while she waited in line, scrolling on her phone and texting Mina if she wanted anything. It was doing a decent enough job. Until she got to the front of the line.

“Welcome to Coffee House, what can I get you... today.”

That voice. She quickly looked up from her phone; where Mina had just texted her what she wanted, to see Mr. Art Major. She didn’t react right away, and he didn’t seem to mind all that much since he seemed to be caught in the same situation. After a beat, her eyes dart down for a name- Hitoshi... ‘Oh no, it’s a cute name too. Fuck!’ 

“Hi. Um....” She blinks for a minute before mentally shaking herself out of this weird stupor she was stuck in. “Yeah. Um. Can I get a, uh, large Matcha Latte please?” Welp, so much for ordering something for Mina. She’ll worry about it later... Well. Mina would understand, right? 

“Sure, and what’s your name?” He asked, holding up the cardboard cup with a permanent marker- in purple.

“Ochako.” She smiled a little as she put her phone in her pocket and pulled out her wallet instead.

“Alright, and would you like anything else with your order?” A standard question, sure, but with the irrational fear of possibly never seeing him again (he works here Ochako, you can stop in whenever, omg), she spoke before she could properly think. 

“Your phone number?” She froze slightly, sure that she had a mild look of panic on her face as Hitoshi raised an eyebrow in surprise. Her entire face lit up as she covered her mouth. “Wait, I- I’m sorry, that-!” She stammered a little as Hitoshi’s look of surprise turned to one of amusement as he picked up her cup again and proceeded to scribble on the side of it.

“If that will be all, ma’am, then your total will be four dollars and sixty-five cents.” He sounded amused as he handed the cup off to a simple looking blond boy next to him. 

Instead of responding properly she just pulled out her card and handed it over. That was so embarrassing! How did she do that- WHY did she do that??? She had no clue what had come over her at that moment. And when motioned to, she moved out of line and went to find a table to sit at while she waited for her drink. The noise of the coffee shop dulled around the pounding her ears- sure that her heartbeat was attempting to deafen her. She 

As she sat down, Ochako pulled out her phone again and started spam texting Mina while she waited. As she had expected, her friend both congratulated her and spammed her with key smashes over the whole situation.

‘u wouldnt shut up about him! & now ure getting his number!!!’ ‘shut up! i dont know that for sure??? wat if he wrote -dont come back-???????’ ‘OMG ure brainless he totally wrote his number shut up’

The continued to bicker through text as Ochako pressed her face against her phone and lightly stomped her feet. Her nerves were killing her at this point and she just wished that they’d call her name so she could grab her drink and leave.

What she didn’t expect was for Hitoshi to take his lunch break at the same time, since he slightly startled her when he brought over her drink; with a bagel in hand. She jumped a little with a start, as her cheeks regained their rosy hue from before.

“Sorry. I should have said something.” He laughs awkwardly, hesitating for a moment before sitting across from her.

“No!” She squeaked. “No, it’s okay. I just. I was distracted, you’re fine.” She just wanted to disappear, this was so embarrassing... At least the slight pink to his face was a small comfort in the fact that she wasn’t the only one.

They both sat there for a moment, both a bit awkward and unprepared for the meeting- especially given the fact that they have both been unknowingly going through the same thing these last few weeks. They shared a couple anxious looks every once in a while before shying away from the other’s attention to focus too much on what was in front of them; Hitoshi awkwardly eating his bagel by tearing small chunks off little by little, while Ochako carefully sipped her latte and tapped her phone.

“So um... How did that- the exam? How’d that go?” It was Hitoshi to break the silence, startling Ochako into paying attention again as she fidgets with her pop socket. 

“Exam...? Oh! Oh that exam, yeah! I uh, I just barely passed it, but I scraped by at least. No thanks to my friends of course. It wasn’t super awful, but I think I was just distracted... I could have probably done better.” She shrugs, reaching up to tuck some hair behind her ear. And left with nothing more to really say, they lulled for a moment before Ochako awkwardly spoke up again. “I hope um, that your friends came and got you that night- shortly after we left. I can only guess how sucky it would have been if they forgot to find you before they left since the club was closing.”

He chuckles a bit and shakes his head as he picks at his bagel. “Yeah, no worries. Denki spammed my phone shortly after you left with your friends. The guy’s an idiot but he’s not forgetful. Even when drunk.” She nods for a moment before she tilts her head- That name was way too familiar to her.

“Denki? As in, Denki Kaminari? That Denki?”

“Idiot blond, wears a ridiculous black zig-zag hair clip in his bangs for no other reason than ‘aesthetic’?” He asked slowly, seemingly unsure if he really wanted to know her answer.

“Oh my god. I could--hmmmm.” She groans, covering her face as she grips her phone tightly and shakes it like she wants to yeet it across the cafe.

“I’m missing something.”

“Uuugh. My best friend and roommate is Mina. She’s dating Eijirou, who’s friends with Denki- Who they tried to set me up with for a double date!” She ranted. “Like!! He’s not a bad guy or anything!! Just!!!” She made a squeaky ‘reeee’ noise. “This is so Stupid.” She continued on as she pulled her phone up and spammed Mina with a bunch of anger emojis.

“What’s-” He seemed a bit off, and had she known him for longer than maybe half a day in total, then maybe she would have picked up his tone as a more exhausting annoyance than confusion. She watched him from the corner of her vision as he ran a hand through his wildly fluffy hair and pull out his own phone. 

“I agree. This is dumb.” He grumbled quietly, probably mostly to himself as he then dropped his phone on the table. 

“I’m sorry about how I reacted, just... This is so frustrating. And I hope this doesn’t come off as creepy or anything, but I’ve been trying to... Find you again. Ever since that weekend.” She sighed, slouching a little back into her chair, tugging on her hair a little. 

Her statement was followed by silence for a moment as she watched him pick at his bagel for a moment. “It’s not creepy. I’ve been trying too. And with all the times I talked to those morons about you, you would have thought that-”

“They would have realized.” She continued with him, nodding as she crossed her arms. “Yeah, you would think. I can’t believe this.” 

They both sat quietly for a moment as Hitoshi pushed his half-finished bagel away with a huff. A couple minutes after, he picks up his phone and frowns. “Well... It has been nice to actually sit and talk with you again. Maybe we can catch up later?” He asked, nodding towards her cup. She tilts her head to the side for a moment before picking up the cup again and turning it around, smiling weakly. He had written his number on the side.

“I don’t even know how I got the courage to say that. It was such a spur of the moment thing, and I totally forgot to look when you brought it to me.” She laughs, pulling up her contacts to put his number in and sends him a quick ‘Hey’ text. “But yeah. We can catch up later. I’m glad I decided to stop in, because who would have guessed huh?” She laughs, standing up as she pocketed her phone and picked up her cup- And being the way she was she eyed his bagel.

“Yeah, that was pretty damn smooth though. I was thoroughly impressed.” He laughs, ruffling up his hair as he too follows suit and stands up. He watches her eye his half-eaten lunch. “You can have it.” He grins, she was sure he was planning to save it for later since he had partially reached for it, but apparently, he didn’t seem to mind her side-eying it. 

“Awesome!” She smiles, scooping up the bagel and taking a bite out of it before realizing she still needed to say good-bye. “Oh.” She lifted a hand to cover her mouth. “I’ll see you around then, Mr. Barista.” She teased as she swallowed the bite.

“See you around, Matcha Latte.” He jokes back, walking past her to seemingly head back to work.

Feeling lighter than she had, going through a damn emotional rollercoaster ride just from stepping into a coffee shop, Ochako couldn’t help her smile as she shouldered her way out of the Coffee House and made her way back to the dorms.

Reader X Bias

Your heart started thumping in your ears as your hands tingled at the feeling of Taekwoon’s hand on your own. You glanced over at Taekwoon as soon Wonshik’s attention shifted towards a kitten that had taken a strong liking to him. Taekwoon’s eyes lifted towards yours, piercing them with questions. You just didn’t know what any of them were. You tilted your head at him as the unreasonable excitement almost spread from the pit of your stomach to your mouth. You asked him quietly in a very low tone, “What are you doing?” A worker at the cafe interrupted Taekwoon’s pending response and set a tray of drinks catty-corner on the table’s edge. “I have one caramel macchiato, two iced chai lattes one cinnamon one vanilla, and one cafe latte.” “Oh! I thought you canceled the cafe latter do the macchiato?” Taekwoon asked Wonshik. The waitress interjected politely, “He did. But I left it as a service. Don’t worry about it.” She smiled warmly at Taekwoon and he returned it in kind. Your hands naturally unfolding from each other as you reached up for your drinks. She placed the drinks as you all claimed them and you and Wonshik smiled at each other. “You always know what I want, Wonshik!” You chattered happily. Wonshik leaned forward slightly, sticking his cheek out towards you. “I deserve a reward for getting it right don’t you think?” You smirked and paused. For an instant he was so cute, you thought to kiss him on the cheek for real just to call his bluff. You decided it wasn’t the time and grabbed the fluff ball in your lap and pressed its tiny cool nose to his cheek instead. He jumped back in mild surprise and laughed a little bit. “So what will you guys do after?” Wonshik looked at you both with expectant eyes. Taekwoon shrugged. “I was just gonna go home and tasks a nap. I have to go to work tonight.” You faved him with widened eyes, “You didn’t tell me you had to work tonight. You should’ve just went home to rest!” He smiled at your concern, “I already planned this yesterday though. I really wanted to come here.” “You should’ve come on a day you’re free then!” You protested. He pokes your side playfully and you caught his finger with your hand, letting it go before you didn’t want to let it go again. “I wanted to go today. With you.” The last part of his sentence silenced you. Wonshik stifled a laugh and Taekwoon kicked him under the table. Wonshik let out a quick shout of mild pain before speaking. “Well, since he’s got to go nap, why don’t you play with me instead? I don’t have anything to do today.” Your face lit up at the prospect. You had never hung out with Wonshik, just the two of you, before. But you meshed well enough in group gatherings, you were sure it couldn’t be a bad idea. “What did I tell you about looking so excited to hang out with him?“Taekwoon remarked smoothly, albeit a bit irritated. You cut your eyes to him as Wonshik just laughed. "I’ll bring her back in one piece, Brother. I promise.” Wonshik bit back a smile and looked at you with eyes that were saying a myriad of things. You just had no idea what they were.

You all stood outside of the cafe saying your goodbyes as Taekwoon prepared to leave you both. He faced you and put his hands in his pockets. He opened his mouth to speak and caught Wonshik’s closely peering eyes and even closer position. He gestured for Wonshik to go away while half laughing. “Can you go mind someone else’s business for a minute?” Wonshik pulled a face and meandered a bit of ways away from you two. You smiled at their interaction and shook your head, wondering why Taekwoon wanted him to go away. They usually said all kinds of things in front of each other. “If you’re not comfortable with this you can tell me now. You don’t have to hang out wit him just to be nice if you don’t really want to.” “But I do. I’m okay with it really.” You smiled to reassure him. He smiled a tight smile and nodded while slightly sighing, “Okay. Call me or text me if anything. And don’t make a habit of this.” Your face twisted into a half amused half confused look, “Why not?” “I don’t know.” Taekwoon cut himself off hastily, “I don’t know-I don’t care. I mean, do what you want. You guys act like you were friends first anyway.” You raised your eyebrows, never giving it much thought before. Taekwoon continued his one-sided banter, “Keep him out of trouble for me.” “I’ll try.” You quipped as Wonshik walked back over noticing Taekwoon looking at him. “Am I allowed back over here yet?” “I’m leaving now. Take are of Y/N, Wonshik.” He gave him a look older brothers give their siblings when they know they’re just waiting to wreak havoc and they’re warning them to not even think about it. Wonshik made a face of mild annoyance, “Why are you always like this with me?” Taekwoon didn’t answer him. Instead, he reached for you and pulled you into a gentle hug. Lingering, he pulled back just enough to whisper into the ear on the opposite side of your body away from Wonshik. “Don’t forget about me.” Your knees almost buckled and you scrunched your face up, amused that he thought that was even possible. But more amused he was suddenly acting this concerned with what you should or shouldn’t forget. Taekwoon pulled back and stared at you. You blinked and tried not to swoon. You internally shook yourself silly. Telling yourself to keep it together. Taekwoon’s eyes passed between you and Wonshik one more time before he waved and said his final goodbyes and headed home. You and Wonshik headed up the street the opposite direction at his suggestion and lead. You joked around easily as you walked and before you knew it you were at a pool hall. “You’ve really never played before?” “Well I mean, I’ve tried really hard.” Wonshik burst into laughter at our candidness and found an empty pool table. He began to set up the space and claim it as you guys’ as he threw over his shoulder at you, “Well. We have to change that. You can’t hang around me and Taek brother and not play pool for long. We love pool.” Your insides jitters at the sound of Taekwoon’s name and for an instant you wished he was still with you both. Wonshik came around the pool table chalking a pool stick. “Here.” You put your hands up in defense and then closed your palms to refuse, “What? Already? Shouldn’t you be showing me how to play first?” “The best way to learn anything that involves the body is by doing."Wonshik stepped closer to you and opened your palms back up, "Besides, I need to see your skill level first.” You found yourself gripping the pool stick and being led by the elbow to the pool table. “I’m telling you, I know nothing. Like nothing.” You fidgeted around trying to position yourself to break the very neat horizontal pyramid of balls. Wonshik backed up and stood to the side, trying to get a genuine feel for your abilities. You mimicked a pose from a movie and thrust your stick awkwardly. You bit your lip, not embarrassed, but more like ‘I told you so’ and looked back at an amused Wonshik. He stepped closer to you and lightly tapped the small of your lower back, speaking gently, like he had all the sweet time in the world, “First, don’t bend forward so much. Balance yourself. Line this arm” He delicately took hold of your elbow again and lined it up at a 90 degree angle,“with your body. Use this hand as a guide,” He circled around the other side of your body and placed a warm hand on top of your other hand and positioned your fingers over the end of the pool stick. “Now,” He leaned next to you with his body facing the back of yours given how you were leaning. His voice addictively deep and calm, “Follow through with your strike.” You followed his instructions and made a clean hit right into the balls, one even falling into a pocket. You exclaimed in excitement. you honestly never hit anything that strongly before. You turned around jumping and high fived a beaming Wonshik, who was leaning cooly against the wood paneled wall. “I’ve never hit like that before! I mean it Wonshik! Ah! This is so fun!” His hand clasped around yours first. Intertwining them, Wonshik played with your fingers very briefly before letting go. You didn’t registered it until it was over. “You’re a quick learner. I was expecting to have to do more hands on teaching than just that little bit.” You smirked at his comment, “You mean you were hoping.” “That too.” Wonshik bit his tongue teasingly and you lightly shoved him. He jokingly stumbled backwards and then trotted over to the opposite wall to grab a pool stick of his own. “Want me to show you a trick?” You nodded , very interested. Wonshik positioned himself next to where you were standing and you backed away from to give him some room. His right arm darted out and caught your wrist, “Where are you going?” “I’m giving you room to do your trick!” You almost cackled at his actions. You were enjoying it too much. You sucked in your cheeks to contain some of your energy. “I don’t need room. I need you.” You almost choked on air as his statement slipped out as easily as his movements. Wonshik bent back down and swiftly knocked his ball into another making them cross zig zag into the opposite corners after ricocheting off the sides. Your mouth made an impressed noise. “See? Things go better for me when you’re around.” He remarked without even looking at you. You raised your eyebrows and smirked. “You wanna see another trick?” You nodded enthusiastically and he positioned himself behind you before you knew what had happened. He reached around your body and held your two arms from behind and guided you towards the table. You let him position your arms as he effortlessly leaned over you and guided your hands into position. “I can make you hit that blue stripe into the corner pocket using this green ball here.” Your eyes wanted to check the specs of the table in more details but you could feel your heart beating out of your chest and you were hoping that your back wouldn’t start sweating from your overactive insides. Wonshik was oblivious to your nerves and continued to explain each motion to you in simple detail, his voice rattling your head in and out of reality. Finally your avatared arms hit the ball and sure enough the blue stripe ball went into the corner pocket after a series of seemingly impossible twists and turns with the help of other balls on the table. He leaned back as you leapt up shouting. “Woo! Hey! That was awesome!” You laughed, momentarily forgetting the thrill of Wonshik’s close proximity for the thrill of a trick shot. “I think you’re making me a better player even faster than I thought possible, Teacher Kim.” You wiggled a finger at him playfully. His eyes jumped open slightly before he dipped his head to stifle a smile. He turned towards the table and reached over to reorganize the balls left on the table. You began to help him by collecting the balls from under the table and place them back on top as he asked you, “Let’s play your first game then?” “Okay!” “So. You know pool games aren’t any fun if you don’t bet something.” You pushed your lips out and leaned into your pool stick, which you had propped vertically on the table and were holding with both hands. You knew you were no match for him, but felt strangely competitive anyway. Wonshik walked back over to you and stood in front of your face awaiting your answer. “What are we betting for?” You asked. Wonshik chewed his lips and scanned your face before turning around and standing at the other side of the table. As he reorganized the balls once more, he answered you, “Your phone number.” Your stomach flipped. Wonshik was being so bold today. He had confidence and initiative with just enough playfulness. You felt like you were being swept up into the middle of some sort of flirtatious dance. You felt excited. Like you wanted to stretch it for as long as possible. You decided you would play your hardest. You kind of wanted to win and make Wonshik give you his number instead. So you could make him wait even longer before you used it and mess with his head even more. Wonshik looked up at you mid-contemplation and broke into a shy smile. “What?” He asked and you shook your head to say it was nothing.

But you were forgetting something. You just couldn’t remember what it was.

[undyingtale-the-story]

[ R E S E T ]

Who knew that the sunrise could be so beautiful?

I stood at the edge of the cliff, with my friends who I counted as family, as we looked out into the new beyond. The sunrise was so beautiful… it was too extravagant to describe. I stood next to my friends, as we looked out into the new world that we all only heard about in long legends and stories.

“Oh my,” Toriel, the ex-queen, said while she was gaping at the view. Her huge goat hand rested on Frisk’s shoulder, and her red eyes glimmered happily by the sun. King Asgore’s huge cloak ruffled in the wind, next to my girlfriend, Alphys.

“Isn’t it beautiful, everyone?” Asgore said to all of us. We all nodded in agreement, completely in awe.

“Wow… it’s e-even better than on TV!” Alphys stuttered besides me making me smile. I put my hand on her shoulder, and she smiled back. “WAY better! Better than I ever imagined!” I looked down at Alphys as she was looking at the sunrise. I looked over to Frisk, amazed.

“Frisk, you LIVE with this!?” I asked the human. The human smiled, and nodded, still looking out to the sun. I looked out to the horizon. “The sunlight is so nice… and the air is so fresh...” I breathed in deeply with my gills, but didn’t finish the rest of the sentence. It’s almost like I’ve felt it all of the time… I thought, confused.

“HEY SANS,” Papyrus asked, standing next to me and his brother. “WHAT’S THE GIANT BALL?” I smiled and remembered how young he was, despite this whole journey that we all made to get out of the underground.

“we call that ‘the sun’, my friend” Sans answer, his voice low with a small accent.

“THAT’S THE SUN!? WOWIE!!! I CAN’T BELIEVE I’M FINALLY MEETING THE SUN!” Papyrus’ voice echoed down the mountain. I hope the humans can’t hear that… that could be bad, I thought negatively.

“I could stand here and watch this for hours,” Asgore seemed to agree with Papyrus’ goofy comment.

“Yes, it is beautiful, is it not?” Toriel replied, making Asgore smile. The fact that Toriel even acknowledged her ex’s comment was a step up from what it was a couple minutes before. “But we really should think about what comes next.”

“Oh, right,” Asgore rumbled, probably annoyed that someone could make them leave such a nice sunrise like this.

“Everyone… this is the beginning of a bright new future. An era of peace between humans and monsters,” Asgore paused, letting some more wind rustle through his fur. “Frisk… I have something to ask of you. Will you act as our ambassador to the humans?” Asgore looked expectantly at Frisk, waiting for an answer.

Don’t do it, My mind echoed a response, but I knew better than to keep my mouth shut.

Frisk nodded, making everyone’s heart lift up in hope, while mine fell down. The kid’s going to get hurt, I thought, remembering something that I just could barely grasp. Asgore nodded in agreement, as Papyrus’ face lit up.

“YEAH! FRISK WILL BE THE BEST AMBASSADOR!” Papyrus exclaimed excitingly. “AND I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS… WILL BE THE BEST MASCOT! I’LL GO MAKE A GOOD FIRST IMPRESSION!” Papyrus stepped back from our once was neatly formed line, and ran down the road to the right. We all smiled at Papyrus’ enthusiasm.

Wait.

Was I forgetting something? I thought suddenly. My smile faltered, but I still tried to keep the high spirit going.

“Welp,” Sans said, right next to where Papyrus was standing. “someone’s gotta keep him from getting into trouble. see you guys,” Sans started walking down the path behind him. I frowned at Sans’ awkward shortcuts, as I continued to look at the sunset.

Good idea, Sans. Knowing Papyrus as much as I do… I know that he would probably get in trouble. I looked around, and saw that none of my friends were fazed by Sans’ quick exit.

I smiled weakly, and tried my best to make a normal exit. “Man, do I have to do EVERYTHING?” I stepped backwards and started running down the path to the right.

“Papyrus, wait!!!”

I started running down the path to the human village, and stopped when they couldn’t see me anymore. I looked down at my hands in confusion, and then looked back up.

What happened? What am I forgetting? I thought. I shook my head in tiredness, while frowning, and decided to run down the human village like normal.

Why would this be normal for me? I’ve never taken this path before… I slid to a stop. I ran into the trees on the sides of the path so I could think without being bothered, and jumped when I saw a figure run past.

“???” I questioned, and ran after the figure. I could barely see it, but it was something other than a human. It had the stature of a human, however, and hair like one too.

After zig-zagging through some trees, I saw the figure slow down and walk into a small field of giant ferns. I quietly followed them, and as I entered I saw someone that I know too well.

Me…???

OH, I remembered. I remember how I pressed the button 13 times, one for each of my friends killed, and that I didn’t know what would happen.

I blinked, as I saw the other 12 Undynes sitting or standing on the ground. They all looked at me, with the same expression and the same hair and the same eyes as mine, and probably thinking the same thing as me. 5 of them were sitting on the ground in annoyance, and 6 others were sitting on rocks or just laying there as tired as humanly possible.

“We were waiting for you,” The one who I was following said. I nodded, wondering the same thing.

“So… what's next?” One of them said. They all shrugged, and looked at each other, as I frowned in disapproval.

“I have a idea,” I spoke up. They all looked up at me suddenly, and I smirked.

“We are all Undynes, right?” They nodded. “And we all remember two and what happened. We can, just like two did, name each other numbers to tell ourselves apart,” I mentioned.

“Didn’t Alphys get some tattoos from some anime she likes when we were in the underground? Aren’t they numbers?” The 3rd me standing asked. We all nodded in approval, and then one of the other spoke up.

“Just when one of us steals them, and we put them on, put them somewhere that only we would look at like under our hair. And we should do it via our reset number, like her,” The other me pointed at me, “Would be 13, and her,” she then pointed at another one of us sitting down, “would be 1.”

“Then we can rotate… that means I should go do the first thing in the village,” One jumped up and ran as fast as she could away.

“WAIT ONE SECOND, ONE!” I yelled. One stopped and turned around in annoyance.

“Every day we’ll switch off, okay?” I told One, and she ran off. We all sat around for a small bit as a question dawned on all of us.

“Where will we stay?” We all said at once. I all frowned at the same time, and we didn’t hear the ferns move from behind us.

“i’ve got that covered, but i have some questions,” We heard the deep voice of Sans from in the ferns. We all swung around to see the small pudgy skeleton standing there.

“Hiii Sans….” we said awkwardly since we were the only people who knew who he actually was.

“what happened with the reset, undynes,” Sans addressed us all. We all started to talk at once, but I shushed them quickly.

“Supposedly the amount of times we press the reset button equals that amount of times we get resetted, or the amount of times we clone ourselves,” I shrugged.

“thats not supposed to happen,” Sans sighed. He sat down in interest.

“How would you know?” One of the others sighed. We all nodded and stared at Sans, and he looked wearily at us.

“i know of the resets, but i’ve never been able to control them or remember the other timelines. i know most of them because of when i was younger, when i was friends with flowey,” Sans frowned and tapped his hands on the rock.

“Did you also know it because of-” The one of me laying down on the ground wondered before realizing that Sans didn’t know what happened.

“ W h a t d o y o u k n o w ? ” Sans wondered, his eyes pitch black and deadly. I jumped, terrified, as the one sprawled out on the rocks commented:

“We know who you are, Sans… if that makes sense…” She sat up and put her hand on her face. Sans’ glanced up at us weirdly, and sighed.

“how do you know…?” Sans said and then cut himself off in the middle of the sentence. “actually, dont tell me. i dont want to effect the timeline, cause if i do flowey’s going to be pissed.” We all sat there awkwardly, and then Sans spoke up.

“i can let you stay in the lab in the back of my house,” he said quietly. “do not, i repeat, do not tell papyrus. it might give him some bad memories about you know who.” We all looked at him for further direction. “i cant teleport you there very quickly… i have to get down to the village pronto.”

“You can teleport?!” We all gaped. Sans nodded awkwardly, and then turned around.

‘ In a blink of an eye, we were at Snowdin, and we were behind Sans’ house. He walked out from there, and unlocked the usually hidden door and beckoned us all to come inside.

The room clearly resembled a cleaned-up version of the true lab with just a few color changes. The tiles on the floor were purple, and the walls were blue, and there was numerous blueprints on the table on one big stack. I glanced at them and instantly noticed that it contained the blueprints for the core and some of the puzzles in hotlands, and there was drawers in the wall.

“could you not touch the machine, please?” Sans asked and gestured to the machine which was covered by a purple blanket. We all nodded, and Sans smiled.

“okay then. I’ll tell one about what happened, k?” he said, and we nodded in silent agreement. Sans then waved goodbye, and teleported away.

“I want to be able to teleport sometime!” I gaped.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

The next few months basically were us just continuing the timeline. We frequently traded off what we were doing, and around a day before the big fight happened during the last timeline, we were all sprawled out on the floor, tired.

Three, the one who suggested the idea about the tattoos, stole us them and now we had semi-permeable tattoos under our hair. Mine, 13, was smaller than the others because it was such a big number, but it worked anyway.

We all also realized that we had different personalities even though we are the same person. One had all of the determination, Two had more of the nightmares, Three was the nerdiest out of all of them, Four and Five were the fastest, Six had the most regrets and tended to fret a lot, Seven was the shyest, Eight was the most outgoing, Nine was the grumpiest, Ten was the most powerful, Eleven was the most stealthy, Twelve was all around nice and enthusiastic, and then there was me, Thirteen, the one that remembers. Which never ever goes in my favor, since some memories are worth forgetting. It’s also worth it because I can make a terrifying story to freak out Two, and when Two freaks out its hilarious.

Four, who was the Undyne who was outside today, walked into the lab tired. We all waved hi, and Four laid against the wall like she just ran a marathon.

Even though we promised Sans that we wouldn’t change the timeline, we decided to change it a little bit. Everyday one of us would go outside and tell people about this “extraordinary event” that would happen tomorrow in the throne room. We’re doing this because if all of our friends didn’t go near the spears then they wouldn’t get murdered by my own mistake. Sans is probably going to be mad, but it’s for the better.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

“Wake up, Thirteen,” I woke up to see Ten waving her hand infront of my face. I groaned in annoyance, stretched, and sat up from the hard floor of the lab. The rest of the crew was already up and ready to go, and they were already to go.

“How the heck are we going to get up there without being seen?” Six fretted as usual. Five sighed and shook her head in tiredness, and responded:

“We already got a ride with the River Person, and Eleven is going to show us the way, right?” Eleven nodded in agreement.

“We’re mostly going to go on the rooftops because people usually don’t look up there,” Eleven explained.

“WAIT that could be a bad idea! What if we fall off one of the roofs?” Three waved in panic and Six started freaking out. The rest of us just looked at them, not concerned, as they slowly calmed down.

“We’re all Undynes, and we’ll be okay. Just think about what happened the last timeline: We all got to the king’s castle and we… we didn’t make it but still! We can do it!” Twelve tried to raise our hopes, but failed. Three and Six still didn’t feel reassured about the idea of jumping off of houses.

“Do you want to be the one that walks, Six?” One asked. Six instantly nodded, and Three looked like she was left out. “We can’t have both of you walking together, you know.”

“That’s okay!” Three nodded.

“Just make sure to watch where we are, Six, and do not go into the room without us and the other people!” Three yelled to Six, as Six waved goodbye and ran outside. Eleven nodded, and snuck out of the house and bolted to the riverwomen so fast that you could barely see her. We all followed, and stood in front of the boat.

“Do you want to ride the boat?” The riverwomen asked.

“GO NOW,” Eleven commanded, shoved some money into the riverwomens boat, as we all jumped on and it sped off like a rocket. The boat wasn’t meant for more than one person, so the boat precariously had water at its rim. The riverwomen, weirdly, didn’t say anything as it went past the hotlands exit and up to the core.

“I never knew they had a stop at the core!” I commented, and Eleven nodded.

“I gave them an extra pay just for that,” Eleven said under her breath. “Don’t tell One, though.”

“DONT TELL ME WHAT?” One chimed in, concerned.

“SHADDUP” Eleven snapped and we all were quiet. We slowly arrived at Core entrance, and we all slinked into the elevator to the kings corridor. We noticed a lot of different monsters, including Alphys, Toriel, and Asgore, walking at the end of the hallway together with Six, and we quickly slammed the button several times to start going up as soon as possible. The elevator shuddered and went farther up, and we all walked out at the last corridor where Flowey was fighting Chara.

“FOR THE LOVE OF THE DELTA RUNE, UNDYNE, JUST DON’T STAND- WAIT WHY IS THERE 12 OF YOU?” Flowey yelped as he dodged Chara’s attack. One and Five summoned some spears and trapped Chara in their tracks.

“And then I heard about this and then I thought that it would be a great idea to…” I heard from down the hallway.

Shoot its Alphys, I thought quickly. The others heard my thoughts, and we glanced quickly to the doorway. We heard a lot of voices, probably even the whole underground, running down the hallway. I glanced at Flowey, and noticed that he was trying to get away.

“STOP RIGHT THERE YOU DAMNED FLOWER!” I yelled and tried to spear the Flowey, missing every time. Because of me saying that, the rest of the crew followed me down the hallway determinedly.

“U… UNDyNe?”  I heard a voice.

“Alphys… um…” I heard Three said as I continued to throw spears around the room. I hit Flowey once on his stem, and he lost around a 6th of his hp.

“Wait, why is there a lot of.. Uh… you?” I heard the voice of Asgore from behind me. I quickly noticed that Flowey was closing the walls, and I threw spears at the walls constantly until it was completely closed. When I looked back, Flowey had only 1/8th of his original hp, and he was losing more quickly.

“Long story,” Three said under her breath as she summoned another spear and chucked it at the wall.

“This is halarious!” Flowey laughed.

“What?” I asked the flower. He winked and smiled.

“You did just what I wanted!”

“Wait, what?” Five frowned in confusion. We all stopped and watched the flower.

“This is better than I expected! I got everything I wanted!” Flowey said as we looked around in alarm.

“You idiot!” He laughed. Suddenly, two long tendrils of vines wrapped around everyone else except me, and I turned around to see all of my friends in pain.

“You!” I turned around to him and snarled.

“I feel its a teensy bit unfair that you get more of yourself in one team, right?” Flowey snarled, and zapped all of my other friend Undyne’s. They screeched in pain, and I shrunk in horror of what this flower could do.

“ALL OF YOUR SOULS ARE MINE!” He yelled, as a white flash went out almost blinding me. I slowly opened them, and noticed I was alone, and everything was black just like the SAVE screen. There was a small goat child standing in front of me, shrugging his arms and clenching his hands.

“Finally. I was so tired of being a flower,” He said.

“Flowey?!” I gaped. The goat chuckled, and turned around, his light blue eyes happy.

“Heh. Yeah, its me. But my real name is…”

A S R I E L     D R E E M U R R

Another flash of light flew out from his body, spelling out his name. The next thing I saw was him standing there, in a ultimate form, rainbows and stars flying around as if there was hopes and dreams flying all around him.

“... Dreemurr? You’re the kings son? The one who died so many years ago?!” I asked. Asriel nodded, and laughed.

“You’re so confused. Undyne, why do you think I would try to be friends with you?” He asked, as stars formed in the middle of the air and flew at me, spraying sparks. I dodged all of them, and looked at him, refusing to fight.

“Why?” I asked, curious.

“Because you’re the hardest to friend! That's because you're so suspicious of everyone you meet! But once your friends with them then you have no care about their personal life, and what's going on with them… for sake look! You didn’t even ask your girlfriend what was going on until a idiotic human tells you about it!” Asriel laughed and summoned a sort of rainbow gun. I dodged the attacks as well, and he started to laugh hysterically.

“She didn’t give any signs of anything!” I complained.

“Are you sure? The fact that she was barely not in her lab is a little more concerning, and a good friend would visit her from time to time!” He said, and attacked me again.

“You can’t judge me for my social life! You tried to kill your own friends just then! And your mother, and your father, and all of the people who could care about you!” I raged.

“They don’t care about me! They don’t even know that I’m alive. They think I’m dead, with Chara. They should have known since Charas alive, there has to be a way-”

“- a way, what?” I wondered, interested about why Asriel stopped in the middle of his sentence. He looked to his right a little bit, seemingly thinking about something.

“No. I have to stop. This is wrong…” he said quietly under his breath. He quickly turned back to his original form, rubbed his eye, and looked at me.

“I… I’m sorry Undyne, Ive been a bad person and… and Ive done bad things and I’m sorry imsorryimsorry..” Asriel started all out crying. I smiled slightly, and knelt down and hugged him.

“It’s okay, kid,” I smiled, still sad, and the kid wrapped his arms around me, still crying.

“I… I didn’t want to harm anyone… but its hard when your soulless not to hate…” He withdrew from the hug, and I stood up.

“Soulless?” I questioned. Asriel nodded, and continued:

“When I was a flower, I was soulless. The only reason why I was alive now was because of Alphys injecting determination into a flower…” he scuffed his feet against the floor. “That’s why I wanted to harm people and wanted you to suffer. Because to me, it was a game because I could reset… but now the past two resets haven’t been as fun…”

“I knew you were a good person!” I exclaimed, but Asriel frowned and shook his head.

“I’m not. Ive done terrible terrible things. I’ve attempted to commit suicide multiple times, Undyne. I’m older than you, even,” He shrugged. “I’ll go back being a flower anyway, after I give back these souls…”

“So if you don’t have the souls, you will become evil again?” I asked, as Asriel nodded solemnly. “But there must be another way!”

“There isn’t. I needed to do this when I fought Frisk too… and I know what happens,” Asriel sighed. “Well, it’s time for everyone to go free.”

When he said this, he rose off the ground, and souls started flying out of his body in all directions. I gasped in amazement as I noticed the 6 humans souls there as well, helping him out, and as soon as I could speak he was back on the ground again, confused.

“W-what?” He gasped. I raised one eyebrow at him, and he looked at me.

“You’re friends… the Undyne’s won’t leave?!” He stood up slowly, eyes sparkling.

“Wait, what?” I questioned. He jumped around in happiness, and then realized that I was there.

“Uh… is it okay if I take your friend’s soul, Undyne?” Asriel wondered, and scratched behind his ear quickly. “There’s only supposed to be one Undyne, after all.”

“The other Undyne’s only, however,” I told him. His eyes glowed, and he ran up to me and jumped on me.

“THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!” He cheered. I chuckled as we both passed out.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

“Undyne, please wake up!”

“Stay determined, for the race of humans and monsters!”

“Undyne… w… we need you here…”

I blinked my eye open, and saw my friends standing around me in a concerned circle. Asriel was still clinging onto me, unconscious, and I felt fine.

“UNDYNE!” Alphys cheered. Toriel shushed Alphys quickly, and Alphys shrunk back, embarrassed.

“She might be confused… let her regain her senses a bit, okay?” Toriel commented, and I nodded sleepily.

“Undyne… who's that?” Asgore gestured to the goat that was attached to my side.

“Asriel Dreemurr, of course,” I laughed, and Asriel slowly opened his eyes and laughed too.

“Asriel?” Toriel and Asgore said at once. Asriel let go of me and rolled around on the floor, laughing his socks off.

“Yes Mom! Dad! It’s me!” Asriel got up and tackled them in hugs. Asgore and Toriel, stunned, hugged their child back.

“good job, kid,” Sans commented in his low voice. I gave Sans the half-hearted thumbs up, and Alphys shuffled over to me.

“Y… you have a lot to explain…” she mentioned.

“I know, Alphys,” I sighed. “But not right now… Im too tired.”

“Oh, um, y… you could fall back to sleep… if you want…”

“Yeah,” I said, as my eyes drooped and I was swept into a thankfully nightmareless dream.

Everything is going to be alright.
