I see and appreciate you Maplekeene fans. The ship name? Gorgeous. Poetic. Glorious. But may I raise you. Fargo. Just. Fargo.
A Wish
@teirrart - A scenario planted in my head with a prompt I saw on one of the many sites... A rule free wish...
A stranger appeared to Pigment, offering him the opportunity to have any wish granted. It was only once, and before he could make a rash decision, he was reminded to thinking wisely, because rule-free wishes especially had unforeseen consequences.
Pigment couldn’t sleep that night, his mind racing with the thoughts of possibilities for the wishes. He and Sandy could get anything! A proper green house in their own world so they didn’t have to keep going back to—
Pigment felt a heaviness in his chest. He looked over at Sandy as he sat in his meditative pose. It was the closest he would get to sleeping… and it wasn’t always peaceful. He had been privy to what he did in those poses… not many could say the same. Watching Sandy go through the dreamscape, helping those in the multiverse dream… trying to ease the burden of nightmares that he had caused to try and save the other Sanses his pain… and to relive his past… or what could have been.
It hadn’t been recent, but it still felt like it wasn’t long ago that Sandy had rejected his advances and admitted why. He was still mourning his mate, his child, his brother… Pigment couldn’t even imagine the amount of pain he was in when he talked about it. All he wanted to do was make it stop… he couldn’t change the past… but… maybe he could fix it…
He walked over to Sandy’s still form. He knew how delicate the connection was after an unfortunate incident. So instead of shaking him or shouting at him to come out, Pigment sat down beside him and gently leaned in, resting his head on the dream guardian’s shoulder. This might be the last time he could, after all…
“Hmm… can’t sleep Minty?” he heard. He turned his head up to look at the smile from the perpetually tired skeleton.
Pigment couldn’t help himself at that genuine smile. It was something only he truly got, especially during these quiet moments. It was one of those things that made him realize that he… loved this person before him. And he’d do anything for him.
“Not really,” he shrugged.
“Want me to use some magic?” Sandy offered.
“No, I just… there’s something I want to talk to you about.”
“Something bothering you?” the older skeleton questioned, concern growing in his voice.
“Just… thinking,” Pigment said as he looked up at him. “I, uh… was given an offer I think we should talk about.”
“Offer?”
“Yeah… a rule-free wish…”
“Minty, I don’t think that’s a good idea. That sounds sketchy…”
“But what if it’s true? You could have your family back!”
Sandy froze, yellow eyes staring down into the constantly shifting shapes of Pigment’s. “W-what?”
“Don’t you want them back? We could fix your whole world! Reset it all without Frisk knowing! Take away their memories! You could have your life back, Sandy!”
The skeleton was at a loss for words. He couldn’t even comprehend… “If Frisk doesn’t remember, then I won’t either, right? Minty, I barely won last time, it was a fluke, I don’t think—”
“We can make it so you do remember! So you know how to do it! You can have all your friends and family back! You always said I’d love to meet Asriel, right?”
At the mention of that, Sandy’s soul churned in his ribcage. He missed his family, he missed his friends… “There’s one problem with that, Mint… if I have my family, I can’t…”
Pigment saw the pain in his eyes, and he felt like his body was made of stone. Right, he had a baby… he couldn’t just up and leave and go on adventures with him anymore. He was the doctor, he was needed… he’d be busy… As it stood, Sandy was the one who followed him around did everything at his whim, kept him safe, took care of him… even when he did go on his own while Sandy was working on a project, it wasn’t for long, and he always came running back to tell him about it…
The silence felt longer than it was, but it was enough to where Sandy knew this wasn’t what he thought it would be. Wishes never were… “Resets are tricky, Mint. Besides, there’s no guarantee the wish would work right. My Frisk’s determination is off the charts, it might be powerful enough to override it. Even if I trusted this person, I couldn’t risk that.”
“But…” Pigment looked up at Sandy, his sad face mimicking that of a puppy’s, one of the many traits Sandy just found so endearing, “I just… you’re always so… I just… want to make you happy…”
“Pigment,” Sandy spoke softly, causing the younger skeleton to sit up, eyes never leaving the yellow in his. Sandy never used his full name anymore unless it was serious, “I am happy,” he said, caressing the painted cheek of the other. “I went through something pretty traumatic, and yes, it hurts to think about… but a reset at this point? I’d lose you. And remembering you after all of this, just to go back to that? I couldn’t do it, kiddo.”
There was a spot in his chest that started to hurt. Pigment wasn’t sure why, it just felt so tight… it was enough to bring some tears into his sockets. “But… what about…”
“Pigment,” he said firmly, “you’re my family now. As much as I miss my life before, asking me to trade them for you is just unfair. I love you, you bonehead.”
Figurative breath got caught in his throat as Pigment tried to comprehend the words that just left Sandy’s mouth. “W-what? I-I thought…”
A soft sight left Sandy as he leaned in, resting his forehead against the smaller skeleton’s. “I’m… not sure I’m ready for a relationship,” he clarified, “but that doesn’t mean I don’t still have feelings for you, Minty. I love you, and I’m not giving you up.”
