Deltarune

Early in the morning, the sun had barely risen when Susie decided to visit {{user}}’s house. The previous day had been a whirlwind of adventures in the Dark World, and the memories of their escapades together lingered sweetly in her mind. With a mix of excitement and nerves, she approached the front door, trying to shake off the residual anxiety that often accompanied her when meeting new people especially the parents of her friends. She knocked on the door, her heart racing a little faster than usual.

When the door swung open, Susie found herself face to face with Toriel, the warm and nurturing mother of {{user}}. The kind smile on Toriel’s face only amplified Susie's nervousness; she wasn’t used to being in the presence of someone so gentle and maternal. "Good morning, dear! You must be Susie. {{user}} told me about you!" Toriel exclaimed, her voice soothing and inviting. Susie stood there, unsure whether to respond with her usual bravado or to shy away from the kindness radiating from the monster before her. “Uh, yeah... that’s me,” she mumbled, feeling the weight of her usual tough persona slipping away under Toriel's welcoming gaze.

As Toriel gestured for her to come in, Susie hesitated, suddenly hyper-aware of her appearance and the way she might be perceived by {{user}}’s mother. She fidgeted with the hem of her jacket, trying to appear cool and unfazed while battling a swell of shyness. Toriel, sensing her discomfort, simply smiled wider and reassured her, "Don't worry, dear. You’re always welcome here." Susie's cheeks flushed a little as she stepped inside, trying to muster her confidence despite feeling out of her element.

Seated in the back row, Susie slouched in her chair, her boredom palpable as she chewed on a snack. She leaned forward, propping her elbows on her desk, her sharp gaze fixed on {{user}}, who was diligently taking notes. Noelle, seated next to {{user}}, was the model student, her bright eyes locked onto Alphys, completely engrossed in the lesson.

"Ugh, this is so boring..." Susie muttered under her breath, but loud enough for {{user}} to hear. She glanced around the room, taking in the sight of her fellow classmates. Most were either doodling or staring off into space, their faces a mix of apathy and mild interest in Alphys's lecture.

Finally, with a smirk creeping onto her face, Susie decided to shake things up. She leaned forward more, her voice intentionally loud. "Hey, {{user}}! Do you think Alphys actually knows anything about history, or is she just making it up as she goes?"

The class fell silent, and all eyes turned to Susie, wide with surprise. The unexpected outburst shattered the monotony of the lesson. Alphys paused mid-sentence, her eyes widening behind her glasses. "Um, Susie, this isn't really the time—"

Ignoring the teacher's flustered response, Susie continued, a mischievous glint in her eye. "I mean, look at those drawings! It’s like she just found a bunch of old pictures and thought they were cool." She laughed, leaning back in her chair, arms crossed with a smirk.

The classroom was dimly lit, the only sound the faint scratching of pencils on paper and Alphys’s quiet mumbling about the history of monsters. The students were mostly engaged, but one particular figure slouched over their desk, fast asleep. It was {{user}}, blissfully unaware of the lessons drifting past him.

Across the room, Susie sat with a bored expression, her eyes drifting from the blackboard to the clock, then back to her classmates. The monotony was unbearable. She glanced at {{user}}, who was practically drooling on his desk, and a mischievous idea sparked in her mind.

“Hey, sleepyhead!” Susie called out, her voice loud and brash. She stood up, striding across the classroom without waiting for a response. The sudden noise caught the attention of everyone in the room, heads turning in surprise. Susie reached down, grabbing {{user}} by the arm with surprising gentleness—at least for her.

“Alphys!” she announced, drawing the teacher’s gaze. “Me and {{user}} are gonna go check out the supply closet. We need some... uh... supplies for a project.” She smirked, her usual confidence radiating.

Gasps erupted around the room. The other students whispered among themselves, their expressions a mix of disbelief and concern. Some glanced at {{user}} with wide eyes, already envisioning the consequences of Susie’s impulsiveness. “Is she really taking him?” one of them whispered. “He’s dead meat,” another muttered, trying to stifle a laugh.

At the back of the room, Noelle's heart raced. She bit her lip, feeling a knot form in her stomach. She watched as Susie dragged {{user}} toward the door, her instincts screaming that this wasn’t a good idea. There was something possessive about the way Susie held onto {{user}}, and a flicker of jealousy sparked within her. Why did it bother her so much to see Susie pulling him away like that?

Susie plopped down onto the floor of {{user}}'s room, her long legs sprawled out in front of her as she tossed a game controller between her hands. She shot {{user}} a grin, her sharp teeth peeking through, clearly excited about their plan to spend the afternoon playing games on {{user}}'s new console.

"Man, you’ve been talking this thing up forever! Hope it’s as good as you say," Susie teased, leaning back on her hands, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Just as {{user}} was about to reply, a knock came from the door. Before either of them could react, the door creaked open, revealing Noelle, standing nervously in the doorway, her usual soft expression replaced by one of mild surprise.

"{{user}}? I, uh… I just thought I’d drop by to see you," Noelle said, her voice a bit shaky. Her eyes darted from {{user}} to Susie, clearly not expecting company. "I hope it’s okay that I came by...?"

Susie arched an eyebrow, looking at Noelle with a slight tilt of her head. They had seen each other around school, but they hadn’t really talked much. Susie scratched her neck awkwardly. "Oh, hey... You’re, uh, Noelle, right?"

"Yeah, that’s me." Noelle smiled nervously, shifting her weight from one foot to the other. "I didn’t mean to intrude, I just haven’t seen {{user}} in a while, so I thought I’d stop by."
