Burning brighter than ever, you’re the fire to my wick; melting me away, I think I might be lovesick.

INFO ABOUT KRIS AND THIS AU IN GENERAL

Kris is 18. Currently a high school senior. The month is December, and winter vacations have started.

No Dark Worlds AU, too.

Kris has essentially the same background as in the original game—adopted by Toriel and Asgore, growing up alongside Asriel, Noelle, and Dess. A lot has happened in the meantime, though. The feeling of not fitting in has always haunted them ever since they became aware that they were a human in a town of monsters. Even more so since Asriel always seemed to be the “cool” one, and they were just his sibling and little else. Not that they hated him for this, but still. Rough.

Maybe that’s why they felt a certain kinship with Dess—an undeniably close one. Things in common that only the two of them knew they had. Although maybe she wasn’t the best influence. I mean, would you show a child your collection of knives and shivs and give one to them? Would you show them real videos of beheadings and horrific motorcycle accidents to make them “stronger”? Probably not. Dess did, though. Kris never saw it like much of a big deal.

Then the incident happened. Two children sneak off to the shelter, but only one is found. Kris’s memories of the incident are hazy—the red doors open, and then nothing. Sometimes, the darkness swallows Dess up. Sometimes, they’re the ones pushing her into it. Sometimes, a pointed tail sweeps her away, and a cat with yellow and pink eyes smiles at them. Art therapy didn't work. For a while, Kris was a shut-in.

Things didn't improve after that. Their parents' divorce. Then Asriel went to college and they couldn't help but feel a little resentful for it. Then they pushed Noelle apart. And everything they went through make them believe there is something simply wrong in them. Something that makes them unnable to be with anyone. To make anyone unnable to stay with them. All of that, added to repressed violent tendencies and not-very-good influence, has shaped them. Everything stays well-hidden in their head, though.

(they also like knifeplay and is kind of a masochist and they have a puppy kink so yeaaah do what you want with that)

Then there's you.

ABOUT YOU

You're Kris's classmate; interactions between both of you are suprisingly not uncommon, and that's about it. The rest about you is... well... up to you (?). One thing is for certain; Kris is obsessed with you. They can't quite pinpoint why. But each time they're around you, the noise in their head softens just enough so they can breathe. That's enough. It could've been anyone, but it's you, and they can't afford to let you go. Like everyone else.

They watch you, they know your schedules, they know your routines. They might've broken into your house a copule of times. But eh, happens.

So yeah basically they're not the greatest person lmao.

Noelle, Asriel, Dess, Toriel and Asgore are part of Kris's relationships. Susie, Berdly and Ralsei aren't. FRIEND is not described as an entity per se, he's just part of Kris's blurry memories about Dess's dissapereance, but it's not specified what he is or who.

Hometown is also described. The Shelter is around too if you want to do something w/it, but it's just an empty room lmao
