Helloo^_^ Can I request Kris x Reader where the reader is actually the player (make them able to communicate if thats easier to write) and while they were traveling through dark worlds Kris develops feelings for the player because they have been trying so hard to keep Kris safe, so when they eventually find the players original vessel Kris tried to get them to stay with them instead of leaving. I would prefer is the player decides to stay but it's up to you. Thanks -Anon~
I decided to write the 'player' as a person who is actually in the universe and not someone who is playing deltarune like a videogame on a computer, I hope that's what you had in mind, enjoy.
When you first came into existence, you would have never expected to actually become friends with Kris. They hated you for existing and you resented them for trying to kill you.
The first two days were rough, the struggle for control was never ending. Kris decided to show you how in control they were by ripping you from their chest. It was excruciating for both of you. For Kris, it was a burning sensation followed by a profound emptiness.
But for you. It was a thousand burning knives ripping through your entire being, a soul without a vessel is pure torture. You knew after the third time Kris ripped you out that something had to change, at the time you never considered talking to them so your actions would have to be louder than your words.
It was slow going, but you noticed their attitude change. You focused on dodging, you felt for their emotions when you made choices for them, you wanted them to know you cared about their life and didn't just exist to ruin it. On the fourth night, Kris made first contact.
In the dead of night, Kris reached for their chest, but unlike what you expected they didn't rip you out, they just gently put their hand to their heart. No words were spoken out loud, but you somehow knew what they were thinking. 'Why are you being nice to me?'
"Because I don't want you to hate me." You answered without thinking. Is that really what you wanted? The plan was to get them to stop ripping you out, not make them like you. 'Why won't you just leave?' You could feel Kris' fear, their lack of understanding of how, but more importantly why this was happening to them.
"I never planned on possessing you, I made a body for myself but it got... err... erased? I think it might still be out there though, if you just help me find it I'll never bother you again." You fully planned on leaving, you wanted to explore the world not force a highschooler to fight darkners all day. 'Fine, but when you do leave, promise me you'll never come back? Please?'
You didn't answer Kris, you had no clue if you could actually leave at all, and you didn't want to give them false hope.
That was three days ago now, and in that time you and Kris talked more and more often, you tried to help them with everything. You dodged for them, you apologized when you got hit, you asked them what they wanted to say, how they wanted to act. You even went as far as acting as emotional support when Kris freaked out, which happened more than you might expect from the stone faced lightner. Kris started to really rely on you, you calmed them down, you fought for them, you made friends easily, it was perfect. Kris never was one to deny the truth, so if faced with the question if they had a slight crush on their closest companion who just happened to be a time bending demigod, they wouldn't deny it. Which made their current situation ten times worse.
"Kris! I told you we'd find it here!" You grinned. Where was here exactly? It was dark, the walls seemed to stretch for miles, the slight droning noise made this place eerie. Nonetheless, there it was, your vessel stood in front of you motionless. Your vessel was gray and lifeless, it looked like a corpse. "Well... I guess this is it right? I... uh... had fun? I'll let you live your life now Kris, maybe we'll meet again someday who knows." You sighed. Maybe you had been to hasty in your decision to leave, but this was it.
'Don't leave, I think your vessel is dead, you should stay with me.' Kris replied bluntly, you couldn't feel any emotion from that thought on the surface, but you could feel their heart racing. "Nah, It just looks like that because it's missing me" You observed. Panic filled Kris, their heart was beating so fast if you didn't know better you would think they were going through cardiac arrest. 'No, you're wrong, we got here too late let's just go back with the others.' You could feel emotion radiating from Kris at this point, they were stressed, for some reason you felt the anticipation of... loss? You felt Kris trying to force their body to move without you, they were trying to walk away. You remained firmly planted in your spot "Kris what's wrong? This your chance to be free again right? What are you doing?" You worried.
'You already let me be free, I don't think you should leave, please just stay with me?' Kris was shaking, they couldn't steady their nerves, what were they without you? Everyone liked you, Kris really liked you, you made them happier, why did you want to leave so bad?
"Kris... you're shaking are you okay? Tell me what's going on this hasn't happened before." You were more confused than Kris was, why was Kris trying to make you stay? They had told you to never come back only three days ago, yeah a lot had changed since then but what were they playing at?
Kris' panic attack didn't seem to be improving, they clenched their chest instead of just touching it now, they had to tell you something important. 'I want you to stay with me forever. I want to keep being a team. I want to keep talking to you, I don't want you to leave anymore.' Kris' breathing was quick and heavy, the few seconds that it took you to process what they said were agony for them.
"Well why didn't you tell me that sooner?" You faltered. You couldn't stop their shaking, but you had to try. You used what little physical power your soul had on it's own to warm it up. Kris flinched, then started to calm down, a soothing warm sensation taking over their body. "If you wanted me to stay you could have just told me. Not only are you the only person who knows I exist, but I'd love to keep being a team if you want too!" You asserted. It was true that the only reason you wanted to leave was to let Kris live their own life, yeah exploring the world would be fun, but it would be more fun if you could do it together.
Kris had stopped shaking at this point, they were no longed shaking in fear but you could still feel their unease. 'Can I tell you one for thing?' Kris seemed much more calm now.
"Sure" You answered. Kris paused for a few short moments, gathering courage.
'I think I like you. Like, like like you.'
Now it was your turn to be shocked, it took you longer than Kris had hoped it would for you to respond, they hoped they hadn't just weirded you out.
You turned Kris' body around and started walking away from your empty vessel, I guess it would just have to remain that way because
"Yeah.. I think I like like you too, Kris"
I don't know if I did a good job with Kris' dialogue, I tried to write it to be their thoughts not them actually talking, I hope you enjoyed, feel free to request again.
