Author's Note:

I've decided to publish the first chapter of this story with the new flurry of activity after the release of Deltarune. Mainly this story is also in reponse to the curious lack of self inserts I've seen. I wanted to see whether one can be any good. So uh enjoy...

Chapter One: Once Upon a Time…

Ugh…I'm…falling?

I remember…it was about a week after my birthday, I was going to sleep and then…nothing. Now my eyes are still closed…I should open them.

I opened my eyes to see a hole that opened up to a clear sky, telling me I was in some type of gigantic cavern. Despite this there was a radiant sense of calmness that kept the constant alert of danger and fear of death from overwhelming my logic. That clarity was promptly shattered once I flipped around to face an empty sit of grass a hundred meters down.

Oh God…oh God not that!

What the hell?! Nope!

FUCK!

I felt and heard my bones crack as I hit the ground at terminal velocity. But despite that…I was still alive. I felt a trickle of blood run down my face, and I hoped I didn't get a concussion.

My hands were trembling as they held me up on the grassy and soft ground. I heard a distant slightly deep voice as well footsteps run closer to me. I saw a humanoid shadow look over me, and I took a deep raspy breathe. Whoever this was I hoped they could help me…

There was muted surprise and almost fear as a furry hand grabbed my shoulders, gently picking me up. I stared into a goat teens eyes, and he spoke.

"Ch—wait who are you?" I felt right onto my ass as I met face to face with a teenage Asriel Dreemurr. His eyes widened and his left hand glowed with a green light. A sigh left my mouth as the pain and ache of damaged bones and muscles went away in seconds.

"B-Brandon…" I cleaned off the drops of blood near my mouth and stood up on unsteady feet. I blanched as I took notice of Asriel's sheer height, he was around eight and a half feet tall and strongly resembled how he looked after acquiring all of the SOULS.

"Ahhhhhhhh!" My eyebrows scrunched together as I heard a noise coming up from above. I followed Asriel's gaze as he looked up and frowned as two distinct shadows got closer and closer.

"Oh God Chara I've…got you!" Asriel was flailing around as he tried to position himself in the right spot.

Maybe I should move out the wa—AGGHH WHY ME!?

A huge weight had dropped onto me also at terminal velocity but this time I didn't break anything. I gripped onto whatever I was holding out of reflex, flushing as a feminine moan was released from what I was holding. I couldn't really see much of anything as something soft and warm blocked my vision. I decided to push whoever was on me off because I already had a good idea on what was happening. Honestly it's a good thing real life isn't anime or I'd have been punched in the face.

The person on top of me didn't get off completely and quick glance told me her(?) hands were pinning my weak arms down. Her hands were almost delicate but I could feel some calluses and scars from where her hot hands met my skin.

Um…hello?

The girl, well no young women since she looks like she's around my age was giving me a curious(and mortified) look.

She was…really pretty…I'm sure I've seen someone who like like her in a comic but I can't remember where, the Mercy series maybe? This…person was clearly a fair bit taller than me, maybe about a head taller? So around 5'11 in height…

She had a slightly oval face with full cheeks, her hair falling to just above her shoulders. A blue and purple striped sweater did little to hide her figure and I flushed as I noticed my hands had gripped her hips. I promptly let go at that very moment and kept my hands to myself.

"Um…" I swallowed nervously as I got my bearings. "C-Could you get off please?" Both of her eyes were…not closed just narrow and half lidded. When I asked my request she nodded, opening a bright blue eye that shined with an ethereal light. I could see hints of red speckled here and there as well.

The girl jumped off, landing on her booted feet. I yelped as she pulled me and I nearly landed on her chest before my feet caught on her boots. She kept me steady and I thanked her quietly, feeling the grip of anxiety trip me up.

She smiled openly and I felt a fluttering in my chest "Hey cutie."

W-What?! My cheeks turned red and I took a step back in response. The other human who I couldn't see well from this angle groaned, palming their face.

"U-Uh hi?" Her wide grin shrunk, and she looked rather more bashful at my reaction. "I don't know who you are?" I have my guesses but…

"Oh?" The girl looked surprised and she pointed to herself with another smile. "My name is Frisk." I nodded and decided to properly introduce myself.

"Uh Brandon…it's nice to meet you." She focused in on my hand for a moment before taking it into her own. Her hand engulfed mine due to her greater height and I ignored my inner disappointment with it.

I let go and turned to the other human in the room who was equally…something. She was about the same height if with a slightly differing body type, ignoring the other more obvious differences.

"Flirting never worked before…I don't get it…"

Hmm…maybe she hasn't realized she's in an older body yet? Not sure how when I have a budding beard on my face despite my diminutive height.

The other…human had a more angular face, as well as a lighter skin tone paired with naturally red cheeks. Her eyes were wide open and it was hard to meet the sharp ruby gaze of the young women. Unlike Frisk she had a normal t-shirt with green and yellow stripes instead. The sleeves were cut off and I could see the definition and muscles underneath her rather lovely complexion. She had a pair of brown cargo shirts that let me see her…legs, hmm red anime protagonist esque shoes ehh?

"What?" Her tone was flat and I shook out my stupor to the best of my abilities.

"I—"

"What is going on here?" From behind us a figure slightly shorter than her son approached with a worried tone of voice. Asriel turned around and pusher Chara behind him while we stood still. "You should be back h—oh, oh."

Well…this is a little awkward isn't it?

—play Home—

I swore I heard music as Toriel tended to the remaining humans injuries. There was a small affectionate grin on this Frisk's face as the monster magic sunk into her wounds. Chara had a more neutral expression and I shivered at the contempt in her eyes. This was a person who had an unimaginably negative perception of humanity.

As for Toriel…she looked slightly older than she did in canon, but still looked like an adorable cartoon goat mom. Kind of wanted to give her a hug but I held myself back. There was fortunately no crazy axe-crazy flower to interrupt us yet it still looked almost exactly the same as the ingame Underground.

Toriel guided us past the puzzles and traps…though she let us do it themselves since we were clearly grown adults. How Toriel could tell that I was one was unknown but I had no real reason to complain. Eventually we stopped at a much better taken care of Home, no extra shoes, no dusty toys, just a nice simple and friendly house.

The only indication that something was off…was the shiver as something slammed into my…SOUL? I couldn't describe it, a sensation as reality bent with little enthusiasm from whoever was doing it. Whether or not that was a good thing I had no idea.

"So why did you come here?" I flinched as Chara called me out, the girl calmly sipping a cup of tea. Her eyes blazed with…determination

Heh…

"What's so funny?" I blinked and realized I had laughed out loud. I shrugged awkwardly making the redhead sigh with a palm of her face. "Whatever…" She turned to the other two as Toriel had gone out to get some foodstuffs for us.

"Now do you two have any idea on what's going on?" Asriel and Frisk shook their heads, and I sighed as I realized she was likely ignoring me. "You're still alive, yet everything looks a lot like what happened after we died. All three of us are physically older better matching up with our true mental age, and this bozo is here too." Oh that little bitch…

"There's no need to be so mean you know." I felt a smile pull at my lips at Frisk's defense of me. I yelped as Chara gave me a poke in the belly, her nose twitching and her lip pursing in disgust.

"Come on, he's just a pudgy out of shape human who may or may not even remember if we RESET!"

"A part of me wishes I had never played Undertale." I muttered under my breath as my frustration grew. My breathing was suddenly restricted as hands toughened by work and exercise wrapped around my throat. My hands instantly grabbed the constricting fingers loosening the pressure. My feet dangled in the air as Chara lifted me upwards, her eyes shining with rage. Despite my frankly justified terror I still managed to have the balls to glare back.

"CHARA STOP!" Frisk ripped me out of Chara's hold and I landed on her lap. I flushed as she held me tightly, likely to keep me out her friend's hands and relatively restricted.

Not that I had any real reason to run…there was nowhere for me to go. Since the Barrier is up I had only had the Underground to flee into and they likely knew every single little nook and cranny in this place.

"Tsk," Chara sat down, the chair bouncing at the unnecessary force. She looked at at me with a single eye, holding up her chin with her right hand. "Fine, be that way partner. But I'm still gonna get my answers no matter how many Resets it takes." Frisk looked uneasy at the fallen child's declaration.

"You know you can just ask right?" Her confident look was instantly shattered and I held back a laugh as she fell back into the chair, flailing her arms.

"Wha?" Her confusion was cute and I wanted to pinch her cheeks with how adorable she was.

"Now what do you want to know?" I steepled my hands in a confident businessman position. She leaned forward in interest and relief that she wouldn't have to waste time.

"As much as you can tell me…"

We followed Toriel silently as we walked through the Capital. Unlike on the game, there was newly developed trolley system that reduced the travel time from a few hours to mere minutes. It had been very awkward since all the monsters were quite actively staring at us while we passed. From what I could tell the Underground was far larger than it should be based on the expression of Frisk and Chara's faces at the time.

The other monsters were still staring with a wide variety of looks. Some looked curious, confused, afraid or even angry. They likely wouldn't be as friendly as they usually were since we were adults. But even then most didn't seem to particularly hate us either.

I felt awe as the castle came into view an example of the juxtaposition between the old and the new. I could see hints of advanced technology more suited in a science fiction novel than a game about a human child befriending a race of monsters. I could see in the shadows a familiar shape seemingly blending into the darkness.

Undyne…

I looked away just as we stopped at the foot of the castle. It rivaled the ancient human castles of old in its majesty and beauty, and in some factors exceeded it just by the fact it was built a mile below a mountain.

I could hear the muted tap of footsteps on stone as a much taller figure came down the steps. I could see a brief shine of orange and blue, the king's face shadowed by darkness.

"Howdy." The image of a brutal king was lost the moment he spoke and looked us in the eye. The tension in the air eased and I heaved a sigh of relief. I stepped up before either Frisk or Chara could. Most likely just to fuck with Chara. I lifted up my hand for a shake to a perplexed Asgore. He took it and I shook his hand.

"My name is Asgore Dreemurr." I nodded and quietly told my name as did Frisk and Chara. He lifted up his arms as if to wave to the crowd that had built up.

"Listen well my people!" The entire crowd rose into a fever. "These humans have fallen down, yet they have never attempted to harm a monster! In fact this one." He placed his hands on my shoulders and I coughed as the weight crushed it just a bit. "Has greeted me with open arms!" I supposed that was true, there was less reason to be afraid of monsters without the events that kickstarted the game.

The monsters started to cheer and I felt a flush rise as the crowd drunk us in. Frisk grinned openly, shyly waving to the crowd of monsters, there was a soft and affectionate smile from Chara that really lit up her entire face, a world of difference from her usual scowl.

"Please come along now…" The crowd dispersed as the door of castle shut behind us, likely the king wanted some information from us. We continued to walk until we stopped at what in another timeline would be a garden thrown room full to the brim with golden flowers. Unnoticed by me Asriel had placed a few chairs and a table so we could have a sit down with the king.

I fidgeted in my chair while the others stayed relaxed making me feel like the odd one out(I was going to say duck instead of one?!)

"Tea?" I shook my head, not feeling in the mood to try something new.

"Water if you have it." Asgore nodded and he politely poured me a glass from…somewhere. I gulped it down, feeling extremely thirsty all of a sudden. Chara and Frisk gladly took some tea, sipping in a polite fashion.

I felt ready to pass out as everything came crashing down on me. My mysterious fall, meeting Asriel, and Frisk, and then Toriel. My talk with the three formed time traveller's, telling them the truth of their world. Getting on that tram, arriving in the capital, meeting the king.

Oh God I think I'm going to be sick…a gentle hand placed itself on my shoulder, lightly kneading and I felt my worries wash away as quiet voice hummed.

"It's going to be okay." Frisk's voice was the only point of calm in the maelstrom of confusion, fear, and sadness within my soul. My family…I might be an adult but I…I'm not independent yet. I want them to be here…I. Frisk scooted over and I felt shudders as she wrapped her arms around me.

"I…"

"Shhh," She shushed me up. "It's going to be okay. I…promise." My shudders stopped and I felt myself relax for the first time in what felt like days but was only mere hours.

"Thanks…" I felt reluctance as she let me go but ignored the odd desire to hug her. "I needed that…"

"I am so sorry." I became flustered as the king humbly bowed his thanks begging for forgiveness. "I was so caught up in the excitement that I forgot to account for your own feelings." I tried to wave him off but he wasn't having it. "Oh you must be all so confused." Frisk tapped my back and I nodded to convince the king.

"Y-Yeah…what is this place?"

"Ah," Asgore remained seated but there was suddenly resolve on his tone. "This is the Underground, the current home to the Kingdom of Monsters and ruled by my wife and I. Asriel here." The goat kid waved with a radiant smile. "Is our future heir once we retire. Again I'm sorry neither of us gave you a better explanation." Toriel looked guilty and that was when I got an idea in my head.

"It's too bad Toriel didn't give me a…" I paused for dramatic effect much to Chara's chagrin. "Tu-toriel!" I waved some jazz hands around for greater effect.

There was a blank expression on Asgore and Chara's face while Toriel openly giggled. But Frisk…

"Heheheh!" Her laugh was loud and boisterous, but despite that I couldn't help but smile. She had a nice laugh…

The mood became more serious at the stony expression on the king's face. He looked almost pitying to us and I felt like I needed more information.

"I…did want to inform you…you must have heard the stories yes…of the spell used to trap us below." They all nodded in response. "The Barrier cannot be crossed by humans or monsters, it requires terrible circumstances for that to happen. One I don't want to personally witness."

Hmm…

"I know you do not want to be trapped here. But for now, would it be alright if you can stay with us. Doctor G̼̖a̺̯̦͕̘s̮̙͓̭̮̘̣t̵e̝͜r." I flinched as he used that name, a feeling of oddness passing through wit- that name. I remember, the mysterious W.D G-Gaster. "-has mentioned he has found a way to break the barrier, he says needs only a few short weeks and we will be free."

I suppose we had no real reason to be here then…unless something was going to come up that was a potential danger. Which frankly wasn't too unlikely and we still had the issue of getting me home.

"I would ask a favor of you all." I nodded, curious on what he wanted. "I want you to try to live among us monsters so we can learn more about each other, and to show my citizens that peace is really possible." Frisk's eyes lit up at the challenge, likely wanting to befriend the monsters all over again. I wasn't sure my socially awkward and abrasive ass could do that but I would try. The monsters are the only shot I got, whether our worlds were merged together or a portal opened up I need to get home.

"I'll do it, but don't expect any miracles from me." He gave me a grateful smile and patted my shoulder.

"Wait…but where are they going to live dad?" Asriel asking the real questions here.

"I thought they could cozy up with you in your new apartment."

"Daddd! I can't fit more than two people there!" Asriel groaned in the way teenagers do. You know what that sounds like right? Asgore mulled something over until a light bulb lit up over his head. Metaphorically of course.

"I remember there was another apartment next to it that was empty. Perhaps they can move there?"

"Hmm? That might work, but the paperwork will take like two days!" Toriel had the solution.

"They could stay over with kids, his youngest is only a few years older than them. sans is a protective monster, and Papyrus will provide a warm welcome."

That…would be nice, I feel like I'm running on fumes right now.

"So Chara was it? Please do be gentle with our Asriel." Chara flushed red at Toriel's insinuation and I realized that in this "Run" their closeness could be misconstrued as romantic attraction.

"Mom!"

"Now go off, I'll get you some sleepwear for the night and you can go explore tomorrow."

"FINE!"

This is going to be a weird few weeks…

"HOW WONDERFUL SANS I HAVE EASILY WOWED THE HUMANS WITH MY CHARMS! DESPITE YOUR TERRIBLE PUNS WE HAVE BECOME FRIENDS WITH THE TWO HUMANS THE KING AND QUEEN HAVE PUT IN OUR CARE!"

I had a stupid silly grin on my face as Papyrus stomped his way through his home. As did Frisk though I felt bitterness and self hatred leak through her smile. I didn't know how I knew that though, I shouldn't be good at analyzing someone's expression like that.

"yeah, forget about it Paps. at least none of them have… a bone to pick with any of us."

"SANS!" Papyrus stomped into his room closing the door behind him leaving us alone with his older brother. The moment Papyrus was out of the room…

His easy smile dropped, and the atmosphere became suffocating as he glared at Frisk, though he kept an eye on me too.

"still toying with us aren't you? guess you really don't know when to quit huh?" Frisk's hand reached for sans and he gave her a frightening scowl. Guilt ran across her face and I felt like an intruder on this.

"I…please I never wanted-"

"i'm not having any of your shit kid!" Frisk was whimpering and hot tears seemed to fall out of her eyes, dripping down onto the ground. "the moment you step out of line buddy." The room turned dark, the only light that of sans eyes. I would have probably wet myself in fear if I had any liquid in my bladder.

"YOU'RE DEAD!" sans popped away leaving us alone. Frisk sunk down to the floor, her body wracked with guilt.

"I'm so sorry… I wanted a happy ending…I never should have done what I did!" My hands reached for her, but I didn't how to help someone with these kinds of problems.

"I…do you want to go to bed?" I offered my hand, despite my lack of social skills, I did have empathy. She nodded with an "mhmm" grabbing my hand so I could lift her up.

I helped her up to our temporary shared bedroom with two seperate beds. The only guestroom in the entire house. Sans had been uncharacteristically mad, though maybe the sheer number of RESETS got to him.

"Doesn't even realize I can't reset like I used to…" I didn't know what she meant at the time. I closed the door behind us and sat down on the bed we democratically agreed was mine.

Because it was smaller mostly…

Frisk had wiped off her tears and was…taking off her shirt! While I had looked away, the pacific islander filipino mix had removed and folded both her sweater and an undershirt leaving her only in a black bra and shorts. Oh…jebus that sweater hid a lot more than I was expecting.

Oh mama…

I snapped out of it as my embarrassment caught up with me. "FRISK DON'T TAKE YOUR CLOTHES OFF!" My voice had become girly and high pitched but I didn't give a flying fuck, She needed actual clothes.

"Just turn around." She added a motion with her finger to add to her suggestion and I stiffly and instantly complied. I carefully ignored the shuffling of clothing and kept my breathing even and calm.

"Done!" I turned around, now having a better time meeting her eyes. She was using a black t-shirt and a pair of batman pajama shorts that did little to hide her legs and a-hem never mind. She grinned and pointed to me. "Your turn."

My…

Oh…

"Duck under the covers and turn around" Frisk giggled and complied with my orders to my relief.

…

I was left in the end with a similar black shirt and longer batman pants making us embarrassingly match. I crawled under the covers for warmth as the cold hit me. I stared at the ceiling for answers but found no solace in the glow in the dark stars studding the ceiling.

"Are you awake?" Frisk sounded impossibly tiny in that moment.

"I am."

"Do you think everyone will forgive me for what I've done to them."

A loaded question really…

"Papyrus will." I heard the smile in her voice as she replied.

"Heh, yeah he will, he's just like that." I could hear her breathing start to slow.

"Uh," She sounded painfully awkward. "Good night and…" I'm sorry for dragging you into a mess I created."

"It's fine."

…

…

What have I gotten myself into now?
