Gifts to Friends and Secretest of Santas - Target Jean Kirschstein

[alphyswhatsabara]

Not knowing very much about his Secret Santa target's affections, Asgore decided to go with something he can do well, but which he feels that nearly anyone could enjoy.

He has put together a tea blending set with a variety of teas -- black, green, white, chai, rooibos -- and tea accents -- candied ginger, cornflower, safflower, orange peel, cinnamon, etc -- especially for one Jean Kirschstein. There is a beautifully handwritten list of suggested mixes depending on moods and tastes. It's all done up in an overly-large walnut box with glass jars nestled in velvet-lined cubbyholes, and number of silver measuring spoons. Basically what I'm saying is it's classy af. You can tea for days with this, son.


Frisk: Gets a handwritten note that says "Upon presentation, the bearer is to be presented with one (1) free hug; no purchase necessary, may be redeemed multiple times." Frisk also gets a blend of tea especially for them called "Determination." It tastes like peppermint and also somehow the flavor of tem flakes(tm). There is also a serviceable pencil drawing of a large goat man playing baseball with a marshmallow nubbin shaped child.

Chara: Gets a handwritten note that says "Upon presentation, the bearer is to be presented with one (1) free hug; no purchase necessary, may be redeemed multiple times." Chara also gets a blend of tea especially for them called "Dreemurr Sibling Blend (C)." It tastes like cinnamon and butterscotch and chocolate. There is also a macaroni art of a large goat person standing next to a smaller human child.

Asriel: Gets a handwritten note that says "Upon presentation, the bearer is to be presented with one (1) free hug; no purchase necessary, may be redeemed multiple times." Asriel also gets a blend of tea especially for him called "Dreemurr Sibling Blend (A)." It tastes like cinnamon and butterscotch. There is also an adequately rendered crayon drawing of Asriel with the caption "world's son-iest son."

Alphys: Gets a blend of tea especially for her called "Mew Mew Kissy Kitty Blend." It tastes like popato chisps and ramen flavor packets, somehow.

Mettaton: Gets a blend of tea especially for him called "GLAMBURGER." It's 50% black tea, 50% sequins.

Papyrus: Gets a blend of tea especially for him called "Royal Guard Blend (P)" It tastes like tomato sauce and garlic, somehow.

Sans: Gets a blend of tea especially for him called "Royal Guard Blend (S)." When you open it up, it's a pair of socks with cups of tea on them.

Undyne: Gets a note that reads "I hear you've come here but I haven't seen you around. Please, come visit me soon." She also gets a blend of tea especially for her called "Royal Guard Blend (U)." It tastes like Sea Tea. Very marshy.

Toriel: Gets a note that reads "It was very nice to be able to talk with you again, even if it was only because of those cookies. Please do take care. - Asgore."

Tim the Human: Gets a blend of tea especially for him called "Tim's Breakfast Blend." It tastes like coffee and donuts, which is probably not what you were expecting.

[REAL LIFE]

::You can hear the massive footsteps of your dad running down the hallway until suddenly they stop thudding like twenty feet from the room you're in, and instead of running, he walks the last bit, trying to pretend that he did not sprint past about 90 other apartments to get here.::

::There is a knock on the door.::

[pleasereset]

[It is kind of hard not to notice your giant sized dad running down the hallway, and Asriel hops off the bed he was sitting on and moves towards the door. By the time Asgore knocks, Asriel's already opening the door for him.

He puts on the biggest smile he can.]

Merry Gyftmas, dad!

[And he's hoping his arms up, getting himself into a hugging position.]

[alphyswhatsabara]

::There ain't no time for taking, son, because your dad has picked you up and buried you in his chest already.::

::fuk your dad is big::

::fuk there's beard everywhere::

::fuk::

[pleasereset]

How-

[Is your Gyftmas going? How is your day? Whatever Asriel was going to ask, it's muffled by giant dad beard. And being picked up and squished. There's a muffled laugh, before Asriel finally sticks his nose out.]

Dad! Dad! Your beard is drowning me!

[He missed this.]

[alphyswhatsabara]

::Your dad moves you out of the beard and hoists you up to eye level.::

You know what comes with the hug? One free nose nuzzle.

::NOSE. NUZZLE. CHAMP.::

[pleasereset]

Dad-!

[He laughs a little louder this time, maybe the first genuine laugh he's had while being here. Asriel's no nose nuzzle champ, but he does nuzzle back.]

Thanks, dad. For all the gifts.

[And more than that. For things that Asriel can't tell him, but he's happy to enjoy this moment anyway.]

[alphyswhatsabara]

You are my son; I should give you my son gifts. You and Chara both.

::He boops your nose with his own nose once.::

Because I love you both more than you can know.

[pleasereset]

[At that, Asriel's enthusiasm starts to shift into guilt. His dad loves him, and he should be happy to hear that...

But all he can think about is how he struck him through the chest in one cruel blow, and how he didn't even think twice about it. Because he wanted the six human SOULs for himself.

Asriel sinks against Asgore, with the sudden realize of just how big his dad's shoulders are.]

Would you still feel that way even if I turned out to be a really bad person?

[alphyswhatsabara]

I'd love you no matter what, Asriel. I'm your father. And I, I have made many mistakes myself. You know this. I am hardly an innocent.

::Asgore, as he feels you go a bit limper, is glad to hold you to his shoulders. You're the best shoulder workout.::
