One Fresh, No Fresh (Chapter 6)

One Fresh, No Fresh (Chapter 6)

Hey guys! I’m SOOOO sorry that I didn’t get this done sooner. I just got a lot of stuff on my mind, plus I am having a job interview today, so I guess I should get this done while I can. Anyway, let’s get to the story!

Asy belongs to @furgemancs

Fresh, Geno, and Error belong to @loverofpiggies

MommaCQ and herself belong to @alainaprana

Other characters and story belong to me, @leiselpizzatale

After coming back home from dropping Error off, Asy saw Fresh and Alaina on the couch, fast asleep. Smiling warmly, he turned off the TV, which was showing a show with a boy with a star on his shirt, before turning to the couple.

He then picked up a blanket, before placing on the two. Suddenly, his phone rang, and Asy rushed to turn it off, not wanting to wake the two up. When he looked at it, he saw that it was the alarm for his medicine. Groaning, he went to his medicine cabinet in the bathroom, before grabbing two pills. Popping them in his mouth, he filled some water into the cup that was on the counter, before drinking the water, swallowing the pills while doing so.

He might have been out of the mental hospital for about 20 years, but since then, he's been having flashes of seeing his brother die, and the pills were used to help with that. Heading to his room, Asy put on a random t-shirt and pants to sleep in. Lying in bed, he thought about what happened that day. 'So, my nephew, who has been missing for 13 years, suddenly comes back, with a fiancée no less, and before I know it, Error starts talking about Fresh. If he didn't ask about the car, I would've thought that he knew about Fresh's arrival!'

Groaning at his eventful day, Asy dropped his head against the pillow. Closing his eye sockets, Asy decided that he would at least try to sleep, given how tired he was. With a final sigh, Asy finally fell asleep.

Fresh opened his eye sockets, his eyes bleary. Trying to wake up properly, he stretched, stopping when he heard a grunt, before a hand slapped his skull. Pushing the hand back Fresh opened his eye sockets, getting a few seconds before seeing Alaina curled up on him. Looking at the clock across the room, it read '7:24'.

Yawning Fresh carefully removed Alaina from on top of him, before getting up. Standing up, he laid Alaina back down, before putting the blanket that was on them (that probably was because of Asy) and put it on top of her. Finally able to stretch, he did, first getting his arms, before doing his spine. He never knew cuddling could be kind of uncomfortable for the male. Finished with his stretches, he walked over to the kitchen, seeing his Uncle sitting in the table, drinking some coffee.

"Good Morning. How'd you sleep?" Asy asked.

"Mornin'. And yeah, I slept like a bug under a rug. If that rug was my future wife."

Asy snickered, saying, "That uncomfortable, huh? Trust me, I know the feeling. Especially with you and your brothers, when I spend the night. If I wasn't a skeleton, I would've asked for a muscle massage!" Fresh chuckled, remembering that. After a pause of silence, Fresh said, "Hey, Uncle Asy? While I was watching TV with Alaina, I was thinking that..." Fresh stopped, thinking on how he wants to say it.

"Thinking what, Fresh?" Asy asked, concerned.

Taking a big breath, Fresh said, "I’m thinking that I'm gonna go see ma today."

Asy smiled. He knew that Fresh was ready to see his mom, and that it was going to take some time before he knew it himself.

"How about this, I'll call you mom, tell her to meet me at the park, since it's a nice day out. That will be where you will meet your mom. Are you going to see your brothers then, or later?" Fresh nodded, but then stopped. He couldn't believe his ears! Or whatever he uses to hear. Was he saying that...

"G-geno? He's alive?"

Asy quickly went to Fresh, moving him to one of the chairs. Fresh didn't register it, just kept staring, not believing it. Geno, alive?! But before he left, they said his condition would kill him before his teen years are over. And now he's alive?!

Fresh, after getting out of his state, found himself his head on the table, and Asy fanning his face. He also felt arms around him, and found it to be Alaina, who was whispering where his ear would be. Lifting his head up, he saw Asy drop the plate he was using to fan, and went to get him something to drink.

"Are you okay Fresh?" Alaina asked, worried.

Breathing deeply, Fresh said almost in a whisper, "I-I can't believe it. They said that he wouldn't live and-" Fresh realized that he was crying, and hugged Alaina. Alaina hugged back, comforting Fresh, even though that even with the tears, he was really happy.

Asy then came back with water, which he put down before hugging the couple. After a few minutes, Fresh broke away, sniffing.

"I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me, heh."

"It's alright," Asy said, handing Fresh the water, "You didn't know if he was alive or not. Heh, your pretty happy, aren't you?"

"Y-yeah."

After a bit, Asy went to make them some breakfast. While they were eating their eggs, they discussed on how Fresh and Alaina will meet CQ. After getting a plan set up, Asy pulled out his phone, calling her. After a few rings, CQ answered.

"Hello?"

"Hey CQ." Asy replied.

"Oh! Hey Asy. What's up?"

"So, I was thinking, and I found that we haven't hung out, alone, for a while. Want to go to the park with me?" Asy asked.

There was a pause, before CQ said "Sure. Need some inspiration anyway. When should we meet?"

Asy made a 'hmm' sound, like he was thinking of the time. He actually knew the time, but didn't want CQ to know that. "Maybe 1:30?"

"Sure! See you there!"

"You too. Bye." Asy said, before hanging up. Turning to Fresh, he said, "Alright, it's all set."

Fresh yelled out, 'Yeah!' before fist bumping Asy, then hugging Alaina. He was going to see his mom!

CQ sat on the bench between two trees, which gave a bit of shade on that warm day. She had a notebook on her lap, and there were a few drawings of trees and various plants on it. Looking around, she saw Asy in the distance.

"Hey Asy, over here!" CQ called out.

Asy heard her call, and went up to her. Sitting down, Asy said, "Hey. Getting any inspiration?" Nodding, CQ replied, "Yeah, I am." Then she turned fully at him, saying, "Alright, I'm here, what do you want? We can't just be here without a reason."

Laughing, Asy said, "Alright, you caught me. I have to tell you something."

Sighing, CQ replied, "I've told you before, I'll say it again. I'm not interested."

Confused, Asy thought for a bit, before shaking his head, almost to the point of knocking his skull off. "Oh, no no. It's not like that. No, it's something else."

Tilting her head, CQ asked, "What is it then?"

Smiling widely, Asy said, "I just met two people yesterday, and one of them you'll really like."

"Oh, really? Who is it?" CQ asked.

Turning his head to the trees in front of them, Asy called out, "Alright, come out!" Slowly, two people came out. CQ looked at the first who came out. It was a woman, probably in her 20s, with short brown hair, wearing glasses. She was also wearing a purple shirt and jeans. She was also wearing flip flops. CQ went to check the other person, and stopped.

The other person was a skeleton, just like Asy. He also looked like he was in his 20s, with a colorful hat on his head, a neon blue shirt on, neon green pants, and sneakers. Looking back up, she saw eye lights in the skeleton's eye sockets, both filled with happiness and tears.

Unconsciously, CQ stood up, walking over to the skeleton. She touches the side of his skull, and he tilted his head slightly toward her hand. Choking on her breath a little, CQ whispered, "Fresh?"

The skeleton nodded, smiling wider. CQ let out a sob, before wrapping her arms around Fresh. Together, mother and son, who have been separated for thirteen years, cried on each other shoulders.
