Chapter Text
Undyne gasped and shot up, looking around for a threat that wasn't there.
Her skin felt clammy with sweat and her fiery red hair was matted with what seemed to be a night of tossing and turning.
After she seemed to realize she was in her room, she leaned forward to bury her face in her hands and let her hammering soul calm down.
What a nightmare it had been, to be murdered by a snotty little human even after she threw everything she had at it! It was like the brat couldn't die and that form... that form had been so cool, the burning passion she'd felt to protect everyone, to stop the threat, not even for the soul anymore...
It was familiar. She just couldn't quite pinpoint it.
All Undyne really knew was this wasn't her first time, having that dream.
She laid back to text her girlfriend- wait, no. They weren't dating yet, were they? Sometimes she had dreams where that very same human helped them get together.
She wished it would come true already, but she didn't want to scare poor Alphys away if she didn't feel the same way.
"Hey, Alphys. You awake?" -3:39am
It was a shot in the dark to get an answer. Some nights Alphys was up all night binge-watching her all time favorite Mew Mew Kissy Cutie. Others, she was passed out at her desk after a long day of-
Undyne's phone went off and she was instantly snatching it up to see.
"Undyne? Yeah! I was, uh, being productive- What's up? You aren't usually up for another couple of hours?" -3:40am
"Some dumb nightmare that I punched in the face. I guess I was just looking for company. -3:40am
"Oh, I would love to!" -3:40am
"I-I mean, since your asking" -3:40am
"NOT THAT I DON'T WANT TO!!!" -3:40am
Undyne chuckled. Alphys was so cute.
"I get it. Thanks, Alphy" -3:41am
It took her longer to respond this time and Undyne could just imagine her all flustered and squealing at the nickname. Eventually a text popped up though.
"Sorry about that. Had to, um... yeah, I think I might have something for your nightmares if they are a problem? I give Sans the same prescription to help him sleep so..." -3:45am
Sans had nightmares? That was new to Undyne, then again, it wasn't like it was any of her business.
"Yeah, I might take you up on that. You wanna call?" 3:45am
*Alphys is calling you
Sans was there the next day when Undyne stopped by for the perscription after train/cooking with Papyrus.
She was too hot to properly greet him, but he still got a wave from her.
Alphys handed her a cup of water while the skeleton regarded her with curiosity.
"Thanks, Alphys..." She gulped the water in record in record time before splashing her head with a second one.
Alphys shuffled around, seemingly getting her own medication. "O-of course, here Undyne..."
She passed them over and the warrior smiled at the scientist. "Thanks, I owe you one..."
Before Alphys could respond with that cute little blush, Sans cut in. "you're having nightmares?"
Undnye gave the skeleton an annoyed look. "You don't see me asking, do you?" She gestured to his own bag.
Sans backed off. "yeah, fair. alright. i'm off then, yeah? see you around." With that Sans did his weird round the corner and disappear thing.
She rubbed the back of her neck as she looked at Alphys. They were alone. If she was gonna confess, now was the time...
"Uh, thanks for these..." She tucked them into her inventory, willing herself to say it.
"A-Anything to help, Undyne..." Alphys replied.
"And if you need anything, don't hesitate to call, kay?" Undyne gave a toothy grin and Alphys nodded.
"I will..."
Then there was silence. A growing silence. Neither of them said a thing and Undyne realized she was losing her shot.
Alphys shuffled and went to do something. "I-I should probably go..."
"Alphys wait-" She caught the lizard monster's arm, instinctively pulling her close.
Alphys was so flushed and looking up at her with wide eyes. "U-Undyne..?"
"S-Sorry..." She let go and fixed her ponytail. "I, uh... do you... wanna go out with me? On a date?"
Alphys blinked at her before she squealed. "Yes! YES! YES, UNDYNE, YES!!!"
Undyne slept well with the new meds.
Too bad that wasn't the issue.
She held Alphys close as they looked out at their first sunset. It was all thanks to that human.
The one with the purple and blue sweater. Frisk or whatever their name was.
She loved this. She loved feeling the sun on her scaly skin and the breeze through her strawberry hair.
It was nice.
It was familiar.
Undyne sighed and looked over to the human to thank them for this chance.
Their attention wasn't on Undyne though. They were reaching out and before Undyne could ask why, she found herself gasping awake and shooting up, looking around the darkness of her room.
What the fuck?
What the fuck!
It was a dream?! What about the prescription though? Weren't they supposed to help?
Undyne got up from her bed and went to find them, find out if there was some sort of something she was missing.
Only she couldn't find them. She decided to text Alphys and see if she knew if she took them on their last date for some science-y reason.
"Hey, Alphys. You awake?" -3:39am
Undyne waited impatiently for an answer... but then again, it was a shot in the dark to get an answer. Some nights Alphys was up all night binge-watching her all time favorite Mew Mew Kissy Cutie. Others, she was passed out at her desk after a long day of-
Undyne's phone went off and she instantly checked.
"Undyne? Yeah! I was, uh, being productive- What's up? You aren't usually up for another couple of hours?" -3:40am
"Yeah, had another weird dream. My pills are gone though, did you have to take them or something?" -3:40am
"Pills? I didn't know you took pills... but no, I didn't take them, not unless you are going through some problem..." -3:40am
"Undyne... are you having problems? Do... you need help?" -3:40am
Undyne looked at the messages in confusion and slight offense. SHE NEVER TOOK DRUGS IN HER LIFE!!! None that hadn't been prescribed to her and certainly nothing addictive.
"Babe, you gave them to me, remember? To help with nightmares." -3:41am
There was very, very, very long pause and Undyne was afraid she'd offended Alphys or something. But eventually, she got a message back.
"B-Babe..? You act like we are dating or something... Unless that was for someone else..." -3:50am
What? What was that supposed to mean?
"I thought we were though? Alphy, I love you, did I do something wrong?" -3:50am
*Alphys is calling you
