Chapter 2 - Foxes in sheep's clothing (Part 5)

The alarm in Asriel's phone started ringing with a very loud heavy metal song, waking up everyone in the living room

"Dammit Az! Can't you turn that thing off?! It's Saturday!" Undyne angrily shouted, covering her ear fins with 2 pillows and pulling the covers over her head, groaning.

Asriel rolls off the couch he slept on, face first on the floor and tried to reach his phone, still buzzing and playing the dreaded music which woke him up. After a few seconds of helplessly reaching for is phone, he finally grabbed it and checked the time. It was 7:03AM. Pretty early in the morning after a long night of watching movies up late. He turned off the alarm, letting a sigh of relief and dropped the phone on the floor

"Finally. Can I sleep now? Jeez..." Undyne remarked, mumbling something which Asriel ignored.

"You could say we were... rattled to the bone" Sans snorted, earning a screech from Papyrus, whom yelled at his brother about how he should stop the puns for one day at least. Frisk on the other hand, just chuckled at the bad pun and rolled over on their side, trying to sleep again despite Papyrus' yelling.

Asriel stood up from the floor and stretched himself, heading over to the kitchen. His parents were still asleep. He took the time to go over to the fridge, looking for something to eat. He grabbed some stuff for everyone and headed back to the living room

"If anyone's hungry, I brought snacks" He said, sitting down on a couch and opening the last packet of nachos. He poured them on a bowl and on another, he poured some cheese for the nachos

"Ain't that a little... unhealthy in the morning? We literally spent all night eating junk" Undyne reminded him, earning a shrug from the prince as he took a nacho, dumped it in the cheese and mauled it, as she just shook her head

A few hours later, everyone was up and already cleaning up the place. Toriel, as usual, began cooking lunch. Although Asriel, Undyne and the skeleton brothers already had other plans for the day. Soon enough, after a shower and dressing up, everyone headed outside

"Hey mum! We won't be joining you guy at lunch. Be back before evening though" Asriel shouted, opening the door and stepping outside

Toriel quickly leaves the oven and rushes to the door, concerned

"Asriel, where are you--?" She didn't have time to finish the sentence. They had left already. She sighed and returned to the kitchen, continuing to cook. Asgore peeked inside and chuckled slightly

"He has grown independent. Let him at least enjoy the day with his friends Tori" He said in a calm tone as he walked into the kitchen. Much to her discontent, she had to agree.

"I keep forgetting he is not a child anymore. I just feel the need to... protect him. You understand, do you not, dear?" she spoke, without looking back at her husband. She was quite concerned about her son, as any mother would be. She slowly puts a cover over the pot and turned to Asgore "I just hope he does not do anything reckless that might get him in trouble. Then again I believe our son does, indeed became very talented at getting in them however"

Toriel snorted "Not much different from you I would say"
