Hiya hun. Its been a pretty hectic week, can I get some fluff with US Gaster and a slightly depressed s/o with too much wieghing on her mind? Thanks!:)
...so I know this is a little strange, and not completely what you asked, but Gaster had his own agenda here, I swear. Hope this makes sense.
-----
It wasn’t real, that was the thing, and from beginning to end, you knew it. …how could it be real, when you knew you were sleeping? But you felt the rocking motion of his boat, you heard the gentle lapping of the water, and his voice, as he hummed, sang, steered the boat along a strangely lightless river... was unmistakable.
The world was dark, you couldn’t see where the river went or what lay beneath the water, and you should have been afraid- but he sang, as he did, and you felt safe.
Only a dream, as the demands of life retreated, briefly, and for the first time in days, you slept well. –and you knew it. You hadn’t had time to spend with Gaster since your new job had started, and you missed his boat and his song, and that was why you dreamed about it. …but it felt so real.
-when you woke, you found a note by your bedside. It made no sense, except within the construct of your dream- but that couldn’t be. You read it, and you read it twice, confused. -it was from Gaster, only it couldn’t be.
‘Time is greedy, I think. Hoards it’s moments like precious treasure, doled out grudgingly at best. …too busy, too busy- time doesn’t care. I do. Let me steal moments for you, instants and memories, ours to keep.'
'…Tra~la~la… Time does not know me, nor I know time. …so I will find you between moments. In my breath and my song, and the boat that carries me. -think of you. In this moment, in this breath, keep you. Carry you. In dreams, if in no other way. …my love. My dream. Tra~la~la… ask no questions, til morning comes, come dream with me…’ –(us!) Gaster
You made the mistake of setting it down, pinching that place between your eyes as you tried to make sense of it. -when you looked again, it was gone. You couldn’t explain it, and maybe you shouldn’t try…
But for the rest of the day, the memory of his song remained.
