It’s quite a scene. Frisk is crying, sitting on the floor next to a very, very shattered glass decoration that may have been a vase at one point. It’s all their FAULT, because they knocked over something at his house and broke it which is so stupid, Frisk, you useless idiot, now he’ll never let you come over and you’ll have to be at your parent’s house all the time like before and his moms are going to hate you god you IDIOT ——
“Frisk —” he says, interrupting their mind’s abuse. They know he’s crouching next to them but they’ve got their face in their hands and they’re being a big crybaby so they can’t see him, shoulder hitched and breath the same.
“I’m s - sorry, please d - don’t be mad —— I’m suh - sorry ———”
“Please,” he says, gentler and more insistent this time. “Look at me.”
And — they do, glancing up, however slowly — through their tears and their lashes. And he’s — smiling. Gentle, and forgiving, and encourage, and not at all angry.
“You’re okay. I’m not mad, alright? I promise.”
They don’t reply. He nods, and they nod back, more reflex than thought. Small shoulders slowly loosen, arms falling first to tangle in their sweater before their stomach and then to their lap. Angus moves from his crouch to sit next to them, quiet, an arm looping gently around their shoulders and tugging them into his side.
“You’re okay,” he says again. They try to remember how to breathe.
