JJ's Toybox

@beerecordings had a post last night about JJ using play to cope and a post today about JJ being afraid of leaving small spaces, so my hands slipped and I wrote a fic. I hope you enjoy!

---

Chase was about to start a load of laundry when he saw JJ sitting in the small space between the washing machine and the wall. He was playing with his puppets, sometimes holding them and mouthing words, other times setting them down gently to sign with both hands. He didn't appear to notice Chase. Chase set the laundry basket down in the hallway.

"Hey JJ, how's it going?" Chase said gently.

JJ was startled at first, but when he recognized Chase his fear dissipated slightly. He signed, "Don't make me leave," then hugged one of the larger puppets closer.

"You don't have to leave," said Chase. "Want to play together? I don't have to be anywhere for awhile."

JJ pondered for a moment, then handed two finger puppets to Chase, who sat down across from him in the small space.

Chase asked JJ about the puppets' names and stories. Their names were simple and the stories didn't always make sense, but Chase followed along. Chase had learned when his kids were little that playing by their rules was the most fun for all involved.

Seemingly out of nowhere, JJ started acting out a fight between two of the puppets, Jimmy and Susie. Jimmy was the one who most reminded Chase of JJ, which was concerning. Worst of all, Jimmy seemed to be losing.

"Why is Susie hitting Jimmy?" Chase asked.

JJ didn't put the puppets down. He looked angry as if he was actually involved in the fight.

Chase decided to try yes-or-no questions. "Is Jimmy mad that Susie is hitting him?"

JJ shook his head.

"Is he sad?"

JJ didn't react for a moment, then he nodded. Chase waited, and soon JJ put down the puppets, now almost crying.

"Do you want to talk about it?" asked Chase.

"Jimmy hurt someone Susie cared about," signed JJ, "He didn't want to, but he did. He deserved to lose."

"I bet Jimmy has a family who cares about him too. They understand that Jimmy didn't mean to hurt anyone, so they don't want him to have to hurt."

"Even if he only wants to hide in the laundry room?"

"Of course. That's what family is. They protect you and give you a place to hide."

JJ sniffled, and Chase was almost crying too. "Do you want a hug?" Chase offered, opening his arms.

JJ nodded and leaned in, returning the hug.

"It's okay to hide, JJ." Chase kept his voice low and soft. "We just want you to be safe. None of it was your fault."

JJ moved back and signed, "Can I help with the laundry? I'm not ready to leave, but I want to be part of the family."

"Of course, bro. You're part of the family no matter what. I'll get the basket and be right back."

what about my au where rather than return to the surface kris and susie just hang around the castle and things carry on

ralsei looks... worried about it, but he doesn’t question, doesn’t push. he tells you to take your time, to do what you feel is best. he trusts you. he will always trust you.

the fountain shoots into the sky, right behind the castle, but it gets easier to ignore as time goes by. sometimes you nearly approach it, feeling something pulse in your chest - but then susie takes your shoulder gently, or lancer yells to get your attention about something he’s working on, or a million other things distract you one more time.

you and susie talk, sometimes, sitting side by side on the roof. you dance around things unsaid. she does not ask you about your mother, your father, asriel. you do not ask her if she’d go back, for you. she has gained so much, and you have lost so little.

you wonder how long it will take before mom finds some new lost human and brings them home. you think about some child wearing twice-passed-on sweaters and feeling toriel’s arms around them. you hope they’ll do better than you did.

the soul gets quieter. you feel like yourself. you wonder why it feels less like you’ve won and more that something, someone, has given up on you. it doesn’t matter. this is your life now, and it is all yours.

a life in a cage is sometimes worth it if it’s a life, someone says behind closed bars, but is this really one? a toy in the toybox doesn’t get to play.

you ignore them, and you stand, and you go to see your friends.

(in the darkness, someone marks another failed experiment.)
