#because this Undertale AU / Canon shift is more meant for fluffy and hurt / comfrt vibes

A small laugh escaped the younger monsters mouth seeming to also find that once the awkward silence is broken, Asriel is more like himself. "Yeah, I'll say! It's really nice to meet you too. We uh.. haven't seen a human in a little while! Maybe we can be friends!" Asriel suggested happily. Although, Asriel wanted to have new friends, apart of him is scared that history would repeat itself with Drake being the second to have fallen. Or, rather, came here mysteriously. Most humans fall through the hole in the mountain, like Chara had. But, Drake apparently came through a strange bubble of sorts. Asriel is glad Drake isn't too injured. Though he still did walk with a slight limp. The injury wouldn't heal in just one day entirely. Asriel follows Drake and Asgore into the old room where it looked brand new.

The room itself is designed as a dark oak, with warm colors painted onto the ceiling. A dark brown matching a warm white. The room is still filled with toys, books and old clothing. Drake doesn't really feel interested in changing it seemed. Maybe he only say his visit as temporary? Asriel wanted a new friend... he loved the monsters and his family of course! But it would really be the same? He needed kids his own age to play with. Sure, there was that Undyne girl that Asgore trains with but she's too rough, and Sans is.. well Sans. He doesn't really have much interest in playing with him since he has his little brother to take care of. So; Asriel hoped Drake and him could get to know one another better!

Now of course, Asgore is more then delighted to have Drake enjoy the comforts of his own room. Even if it once belonged to Chara. Drake would be happy here. That is the plan, is it not? To finally just have everyone happy. No more death. No more pain. No more sadness. That's all Asgore ever wanted. Ever since losing Chara his second child, the memories of watching the human die. The illness just so bad to the point where they couldn't even more without assistence. Until.. it were all over. Maybe Asgore is afraid for the same for Drake if it is a Monster born illness or just a human illness in general. Still, all Asgore can do is hope. Drake seemed incredibly happy and grateful for their kindness to let Drake stay. There is something else about Drake too that Asgore picked up. Like him, there's a tragedy somewhere. That scream at the Inn. It wasn't of fear, but of desperation. Asgore wanted to make sure Drake is safe enough to leave, both physically and mentally.

Asgore would stand back up from where he was. Drake needed a moment to gather his surroundings. Asgore wouldn't be in the way of that. "Alright, I understand. I hope you'll join us. We wouldn't want your food to get cold now!" And that, he left the young boy to his own devices. Drake hasn't ate all day either even since they found him around 4:00 or so and arrived at the Inn Room at 5:30. It's nearing 9 PM. Asriel's bedtime is in a hour. Asriel hurried over to the table after leaving Drake to his own devices as well.

"Mom! Do you think me and Drake can be friends? I-I really wanna be friends with him." Asriel's voice chipped up as the plates are being set out along with a extra plate for the human to enjoy. They expected Drake to arrive soon, as thankfully it were just fresh and ready. This all felt so familiar. And, maybe Toriel isn't exactly ready. It's only been two years and it also stung to Asriel and Asgore. But, Asgore wanted to try and move on even if internally he's still grieving. A small smile lifted Toriel's cheeks to try and console her son with the idea. "Well, I think Drake would like that too. But, let's make sure to give him space. He's just arrived after all, dear." Speaking of Drake, here came the human now.
