Darkness' Eternal Bride (Gaster x Reader)

Epilogue

He remembered everything: the pain of the void removed every happy memory he ever had, but seeing you crying, calling for his back self triggered those memories.

He felt the urge to cry with you.

"...do you really want to know why am I dressed like this, Gaster? When I died, when I thought that I wanted to live with you, I thought that I wanted to marry you with all the human ceremonies: I imagined a beautiful, giant wedding, me wearing a beautiful bride dress and you an elegant suit. I imagined us crying at the altar, I imagined us dancing in the ballroom, with everyone watching us and feeling happy for us. This is why I'm dressed as a bride: I wanted to be your bride. But you became Darkness..."

"Stop" he said suddenly, cutting you off as you were still sobbing.

"...wha-"

"Please, don't say anything else" he pleaded as tears started falling down as well from his eyes.

"...why are you crying?"

"Because I missed you every single day of my life: you completed me, and without you I felt like a part of me ceased to exist. And after we fought back when we reunited I immediately felt like fighting you was wrong: love quarrels are necessary, but that love quarrel wasn't needed.

I will never stop saying this, but I...I love you, my dear Y/N. Will you forgive me?"

And as he said that, it was if he returned to his normal self: you felt his hand touch your cheek and wipe your tears away.

It was as if his body also returned back to normal: in your eyes, he now returned to be the same man as ever. The man you fell in love with.

You kept crying, but a smile shaped on your lips.

"Of course I forgive you, silly. And I will never stop loving you. Never"

Gaster hugged your waist and pulled you even closer, as tears still fell from his eyesockets.

"How much have you waited for me? For this?" he asked as he raised his hand and caressed your cheek.

"For eternity. I have waited for you to hug me every second of my existence here in the void" you replied as you wrapped your arms around his neck.

He softly giggled and approached your face, your lips almost touching.

"I'm here now. Nothing is gonna separate us now"

And he erased the distance between you, and he gently but tightly held you in his arms as he kissed you.

You were finally feeling happy, despite the void. But as long as Gaster was there, you were sure that you were going to be happy.

The kiss lasted for what seemed like eternity, but you both unfortunately had to break it to catch air, but when you looked in his eyes again you only noticed sweetness. And an immeasurable love.

"Sorry, sorry...sorry for what I said back then when we fought" he kept telling you as he now hid his face in your shoulder.

You giggled as you now gently rubbed his back to console him.

"I already told you that I forgive you"

"Yeah, but I still feel so guilty for attacking my wife like that"

His wife...

His words lingered in your mind and made you blush terribly, but their sound felt so pleasant to hear in your head.

"...can you repeat it? That I am your wife?"

"I'll do even better, but before that I need you to answer two questions: you said that I became...Darkness, that was it, wasn't it?" he asked hesitantly.
