Chapter Text
Frisk hasn't been himself lately... I wonder if it's something I've said about school. Toriel thought while cooking dinner. She never stays in his room like this...
Toriel has been a little rough about school lately, considering graduation is very soon. She would hate to see Frisk fail so suddenly.
The motherly best jumps a little over the sound of sniffling behind her, followed by a whimper.
"Toriel...?" The child speaks in tears.
"Y-yes, my dear?" Toriel speaks firmly, ready for any following emotion.
"Am I... stupid...?" Frisk mumbles, bursting into tears.
"Oh my... This isn't about what I said earlier is it? You're a very smart child. Especially for your age." The beast said, kneeling at the child. "Frisk... don't cry." She held the kid, patting his back.
"I just... I don't know..." Frisk mumbled once again, sobbing into the monster's shoulder.
"Listen... I will always be here. Even if you..." Toriel trailed off. "Decide to go to school more..." Frisk leaned back to look at her, unsure what to say, but nodded.
I know I can't be around forever for Frisk... But I can send him to college...
"Frisk... You want to go to college, correct?" The motherly beast asked. Frisk nodded again in response. "Alright..." Toriel stood up and sighed a little, smiling at Frisk. She turned around, checking and dealt with what she was cooking.
Frisk wiped his tears off, and smiled to himself.
"Thank you, mom." He spoke. Toriel glanced at him and nodded.
"Of course, my child." She said softly, finishing dinner.
It's only a matter of time.
