The Writer's Fate (Deltarune)

Project Past | Chapter 22

Ralsei helped Toriel make the dinner while Kris, Asriel and Atreus watched the TV.

Asriel: Did you like the party Atreus?

Atreus: Yeah!

Asriel: Good! What was your favourite part?

Atreus: I really liked the food there!

Kris: Nothing else? Or no one else?

Atreus: Dadddd, you know I like her.

Asriel: Her?

Kris: Yeah, Atreus has a crush on someone.

Asriel: Oh? Who?

Kris: Thea, Gaster's daughter.

Asriel: Really? Well i'd say that's a good crush, does she know you like her?

Atreus: Yeah... we told each other we liked each other... and we may have kissed...

Asriel: Really? That's quick.

Kris: Much quicker than you.

Asriel: Alright! I get it! I need to get one! But i'm working on it!

Kris: You always have been, but don't worry that book will help.

Asriel: Yeah yeah, so why her?

Atreus: She's really nice... and she gets picked on quite a lot... and I just like hanging around with her...

Kris: Well it's good that you like her, but Atreus, when you get angry you have to be careful, do you know why?

Atreus: Because i'll go NEO...

Kris: Yes, I saw a bit of it earlier, and it looked like you were in control as you only hit the first stage, but you have to be more careful when going full NEO. I'm glad you stood up for yourself and Thea, but you shouldn't use it on just a random bully, you have to use it when you're in danger or someone you care about is in danger.

Atreus: I will...

Kris: Good, I don't want you getting hurt.

Asriel: NEO? What's that?

Kris: Something me and Atreus can do, when we get angry we start to transform into our "real" forms. For me to turn full NEO I have to rip out my SOUL, but if I get more angrier then I turn into HYPER NEO. But I've learned to control it, and I hate doing it as I don't feel like myself.

Asriel: Wait, that was what you looked like without your SOUL? On Halloween?

Kris: Yep.

Asriel: Wow, that is scary, but does Atreus rip his SOUL out?

Kris: No, he just turns into NEO when he's really angry. He's only done it once but we managed to calm him down before he turns into HYPER NEO.

Asriel: Oh, well it's good you have some control over it. What did Thea think of it Atreus?

Atreus: Well I did it for her... I was just protecting her from the bully... and I just snapped as he's bullied her many times in the past... I just wanted to protect her that was all...

Kris: Aww sweetie, I know that you care about her and i'm glad you stood up to that bully, but just be careful, you never know what'll happen if you do go HYPER NEO, alright?

Atreus: Yeah...

Kris: Good, I'm glad you understand.

Ralsei: Dinner's ready!

Kris: Sounds like dinner's ready, let's go eat.

They get off the sofa and go and eat their dinner together, they talk together and eventually finish it. Ralsei and Toriel clean up while the others sit back down on the sofa watching the show they were watching earlier. A few hours passed and it was time for Kris, Ralsei and Atreus to go home, Atreus was asleep so when everyone said their goodbyes Kris picked Atreus up and carried him home.
