[ and that's when he'll knock on their door. when they open it, he'll kneel down to their level. ]

You didn't make me do anything. I did what needed to be done to protect you.

[ his smile is faint, but firm. ]

You told me once that you were good at dealing with trouble. I don't doubt that, but that does not mean you should shoulder it all yourself. At least allow me that much.

this is so late................dies

[Oh. Wow. Steven. What the heck did they do to deserve a friend like Steven? It couldn't have been in this timeline. Or the last. Or any other timeline they've gone through, really. This is far more kindness than they deserve.

If they get the urge to cry at any given moment, well. Steven doesn't have to know. They'll duck their head the moment they feel their eyes stinging, and keep their gaze steady on the floor.]

... Thanks.

[Just gonna... shuffle up to him a little. Is it okay to go in for a hug? Because they're going in for a hug.]

Won't let something like this happen again, though. Promise.

[Other people shouldn't have to deal with their mistakes.]

[ with how often he's getting hugs nowadays, he actually sees this one coming. because of that, he can return it properly and without a moment of awkward hesitation. it's certainly warranted, and he's sure that frisk needs it. ]

I know.

[ but that's not to say that he'll hold it against them if that promise can't be kept - it's a big responsibility. but they thankfully don't have to worry about that at the moment, so once frisk decides to let go, they'll get a short little hair ruffle. ur a good egg, kiddo. ]
