[ You two have been friends for the longest time. Since childhood, maybe. No one has ever seen you two apart, and Alphys is almost like the big sister you wish you always had - although you're both essentially the same age.

You have both always been there for each other, through hell and beyond, through college and highschool - even middle school.

The catch is: You're both basically family at this point. You simply can't go on without each other. ]

[ As Alphys makes herself comfortable in your apartment, you hand her a cup of steaming hot chocolate - though you quickly warn her about the temperature, not wanting to accidentally burn her tongue again like the marshmallow fiasco a few years ago.

You sit yourself next to her, your fingers anxiously tapping against your mug as you stare down into the nothingness. Aware that you won't speak up, Alphys takes the lead. ]

–Alphys: S..so.. W-what's up with you t-today?

[ She offers you a kind yet worried smile. She knows you like the back of her goddamn Mew mew kissy cutie cd. ]
