It had been months since 404 had done anything regarding Aus, Alphatale or even talking with Error too. 2 years to be exact. Player and 404 had done a lot in that time, from moving ahead in steps concerning their relationship to 404 just officially moving into UnderPlayer(The Au); After some time with him coming back and forth. The two had gotten closer than even 404 himself could have predicted. Player and him had even traveled to the human towns outside the mountain, though 404 wasn't entirely down with it.

404 was laying on the couch in Player's home, he was sleeping. Player was sitting at the table looking through some code and running some simulations on his holographic touch pad.

"My god, I can't beleive all the code that he can just see. I need this to see all of it and yet William can just access it with his eyes? So casually too. He truly is remarkable. I just wish he'd use those gifts for something greater than...no, I shouldn't say anything. Hes having the best sleep hes having in months. Who knew sleeping pills could work on someone like him." Player chuckled. He went into the kitchen and began to make himself some coffee. He waited for a few moments before he then began to hear 404 talking.

"Willy? You up?" Player asked, thats when they saw 404 moving a bit in his sleep, like as if he was swating at something.

"Eh....no...Leave me!" 404 mildly shouted, Player rushed over and grabbed 404's hand and rubbed his head.

"Hey, hey hey! William. Calm down. Shhhhh, its alright." Player said, 404 then opened his eyes. He looked Player's warm red eyes, those eyes. Whenever he saw them he knew he was alright. 404 took a quick breath. Player planted a kiss on his cheek.

"I was....running. Screams. I could hear them. My mother...burning. I'm sorry." 404 said

"Don't apologize. I don't think I would be any kind of good state after going through what you did. But I'm glad you got some sleep, How did you feel? Dream anything?" Player asked

"...No, no nothing really. Just nothing. It was good though. Thanks for the sleeping stuff." 404 said scratching his head. Player teleported his coffee to him and took a sip.

"You want some tea?" Player asked

"Yea sure." 404 said as he sat up. Player went to the kitchen to make the tea, as he did 404 couldn't help, but think about Chara. He swore he'd never leave, never forget. And yet here he was, in a relationship just as he always pictured. Only pity was, it wasn't with who he wanted it to be with. However maybe...it was with who he needed to be with. 404 shook away the thoughts, he just didn't know what to think anymore. Player came back shortly with his tea.

"Here babe." Player said as he then sat next to 404 handing him his tea.

"Thanks." 404 nodded as he drank the tea. It was bitter, but he liked it like that. Player got him into drinking tea, supposedly some spiritual stuff or whatever, he wasn't heavy on it; however 404 still tried it. Player usually had good ideas.

"Soooo, I was thinking." Player said

"Oh great." 404 said

"What?" Player asked a little offended at the interuption.

"Usually when its "I was thinking" that means we're either going somewhere or I gotta talk about something." 404 said, Player chuckled and put his coffee on the table.

"No, I was thinking, that maybe we could try something new today?" Player said, 404 titled his head, Player then wrapped his arms around 404's neck and straddled him. 404 was a little shocked at it, but he still was interested it as he drank his tea.

"I want to...well um." He fixed his hair a bit. A little nervous, even after all this time he was still nervous.

"You wanna fuck yea?" 404 said

"Well uh- yea." Player said, his face was completely flushed and beating red, he never could get over 404's confidence in saying such things. 404 moved his cup of tea to the table with his magic and then grabbed Player pulling him close. The two began to makeout, 404 was rough, but Player was able to take it. The two interlocked their hands as they continued to deepen their kisses with one another.

"I won't go easy on you." 404 smiled

"Oh god just-" However thats when a knock would come at their door, Player groaned as 404 chuckled a bit as he grabbed his tea again.

"Timing huh?" 404 said

"Shut up." Player said as he fixed his clothes, he took a deep breth and then opened the door to see Asriel there.

"Brother!" Asriel said as he jumped inside and hugged Player. Player hugged him back, 404 looked at them before continuing to drink his tea.

"What brings you on by? I thought Asgore wanted to talk to you about royal stuff?" Player asked

"I got out early, seems even dad gets tired of royal duties, oh hi bigger brother!" Asriel said waving to 404 who just nodded.

"Why don't you two relax for a bit and I'll slip into something, Then we can go out and grab a quick bite to eat." Player said, Asriel nodded as he watched Player run upstairs. Asriel plotted onto the couch next to 404. 404 tried not to make eye contact, but Asriel just kept staring.

"Sooooo, when can I learn blue mastery big brother?" Asriel asked excited.

"When you're older, Like I've told you before." 404 said. 404 leaned his head on the back of the couch. He sat there for a few moments before then seeing Player run down the stairs.

"Ok, we all ready to go?" Player asked, 404 and Asriel nodded. They all then got up and left the house, they all went down to snowdin to grab some food. They all were having a wonderful time, 404 just had a simple water and some cookies while Player and Asriel had a combo of burgers and fries.

"William, your not going to get anything in your stomach with that. Here have at least one fry." Player said as they gave him a fry, 404 grabbed it and ate it without much resistance though he was just fine with what he ordered. Outside the restaurant though they heard some people shouting, Asriel and Player looked to see some guy had drank a few too many drinks and was being apprehended for supposed aggravated assault.

"Woah, guess someone was drinking too much hehe, probably had a beer or two huh?" Player said

"More like 4 drinks of Jameson on the rocks, also seems like he had a bit of tequila, though it wasn't a glass. Probably mixed with something." 404 said stirring his water.

"WOAH! You can tell all that? from his code bits right?" Asriel asked

"Yea, William is really good at reading code. He once found out what my favorite food was from it. A bit cheap, but hey. Use the tools you got to their best right?" Player smiled, 404 smiled back as he bit into his cookie and looked back.

"What a waste of your time, time is so precious when it comes to your life too. Why waste it on doing dumb stuff like that. I'll never understand people like that." Player said as he dipped his fries in ketchup. 404 looked at him for a moment before focusing on his water.

"I gotta go use the bathroom, I'll be back." Asriel said, he lifted his arms up and with blue mastery 404 removed him from his seat and put him outside the booth. Player and 404 continued to sit in silence as they both ate their food.

"Ya'know...sometimes, stupid stuff is all people can do. Sometimes...there isn't another way." 404 said, Player looked to him, he ate one more fry and wiped his mouth.

"Stupid stuff leads to dangerous consequences and those can lead to...well. Not so good outcomes for your life. Would you wish that on someone?" Player asked.

"No, I was just saying how it can be our only option." 404 expressed.

"Well, we all have a choice Will. We may not always like the choices we have, but we will always have them. Like me eating these fires for example. I know I want to stay thin, but I also like food. Which is why I'm choosing not to eat too much today...though I might still have a sundae. Heheh." Player chuckled, 404 ate the last of one of his cookies as he rested his head against his hand clearly frustrated.

"I don't get it. Whats the point in free will if in the end we still are forced to make a choice. The only choice that should exist is our own. We shouldn't be forced." 404 said

"Sometimes thats how life works, our choices come into play when a bump comes along our road we call life. We don't get to choose when we hit that bump or how tough it is to get over. We just know we need to choose to either go steady or speed on through. Either way, the car won't be the same." Player said

"What if I decided to just not drive then. What then?" 404 asked, Player shrugged

"Then you have other things to stop you then too. Like stoplights, other people, traffic and ect. Theres no getting out of making a choice, even the choice to do nothing is a choice. We all choose something." Player said

"Doesn't seem so free willed like if there is no real choice that we can make. Seems as if every outcome has been throughout by some weird higher force." 404 groaned

"Baby, look at me." Player said, he reached over and grabbed 404's hand and gently squeezed it. 404 looked at Player.

"This may not be what you want to hear, but its what you need to hear. I know that may seem like you back is against a wall, but it isn't. You only feel like there is no real choice because you've decided that for yourself. You yourself are the only one in charge of your life. Life belongs to everyone, but your life. Your path in it? That belongs to you, if you decide to take a long break; thats on you. If you decide to no longer walk it anymore, thats on you. If you feel like you've exhausted every option, then thats on you too.

Nothing in this life is guaranteed to us, but the best thing we can do is cherish what we have now and who we're surrounded by to share that too.

I know your not out of options, your just tired of looking is all. I know you can do more, I know that you know too. This moment in your life will pass and soon you'll have billons of choices to make with endless possibilities.

Don't give up on finding your one true choice or choices." Player said, 404 looked down for a moment, remembering what hes done weighed on him.

"Now come on, how about that sundae huh?" Player said with cheer in his voice. 404 shook away those thoughts and then nodded.
