Fresh teaches Sun how to have fun again

———

UnderVerse

"Now baby parasite. When you are looking for a prey you have to make sure you can easily overpower or trick them"

Sun nodded along, unsure just what they were doing here. He had woken up to be in a Fresh arms, who started to click and chitter at him, making a part of him relax at the strangely soothing noise.

He didn't think he was a Parasite but who knows what stalker did to his Code, so he was happy to follow the others lead. They had some surprisingly useful tips and anything was better than being with stalker, so he was fine to stay with them for now.

Fresh hid a frown at the placid baby parasite, who said they liked to be called Sun. It was an odd name but he supposed it suited the host they had chosen well.

It had taken a lot of coaxing before the little one would explore the AU's he took them to but he was slowly dragging out their fun side, knowing a placid parasite was a dead one.

His instincts demanded he help the baby survive, until they could at least fend for themselves, so that's what he was doing...it was also fun to annoy the other Sans as well, which was an excellent bonus.

Fresh had been showing the baby how to take on a new host but they must be too young to really do so, as they only looked confused by his explanation. No matter, he could do it the old fashioned way. Grabbing an UnderFell Sans he pinned them to the ground and invited Sun to come closer.

"This is a rather weak monster, so perfect to what we need"

"Who are you calling weak you UNRAD DUDE?!"

Fresh ignored the soon to be meal and looked at Sun, making sure they were paying attention.

"Avoid the stronger ones until you are bigger, otherwise this process will be much harder. As you are unable take over them yet, taking their magic is the next best option"

"H-Hey. What are you going to do t-to me?"

"You look to be in a Positivity Guardian body right now. Can you absorb others' emotions, baby parasite?"

"Yes. I have been able to do that since i was born"

Fresh was surprised but pleased at such a unique power. This would make this so much easier. Maybe they didn't even have to change hosts. That was a rather large positive for their future survival.

"Now, you just need to drag their magic towards you, little dude"

"Isn't that just magical feeding?"

"Close. Magical feeding is voluntary by the donor, while this is very much not"

Sun thought he might have already done something like this before but he did like the idea of being able to eat without having to rely on stalker. He crouched next to Fresh and tried to reach for the UNderFell Sans magic, surprised it came to him easily.

Just what had stalker done to his Code?!

"Good job, baby parasite!"

Sun felt strangely warm at the praise, purring happily.

Fresh watched, making sure Sun had eaten enough before finally dusting the monster. His current host was perfect and there was no need for news to spread of another parasite running about. Sun was way too young to fight off others, like he was used to.

He picked up Sun, clicking in satisfaction at how much healthier they felt to him now. Time for a break it seemed.

The weeks passed by and Fresh was enjoying the added chaos he was adding to the multiverse with Sun. He was a tad confused why some Sans and Papyrus variants were missing from their AUs, making him have to search for alternative food sources, which was rather annoying.

Fresh enjoyed skeleton monsters, as they were the most common type to travel between AU's, so were a perfect way to blend in. Having to compromise with other monsters to feed on was making him a tad irritable, but he was glad Sun could still eat magic from other monsters.

However, soon his irritation switched to curiosity due the news he heard.

Fresh was lucky enough to overhear Dream talking to Blue, about how erratic Ink had been acting lately. This caught his attention and made his smile grow wide at the potential fun. Teleporting back to where he left Sun, he picked up the napping baby parasite, snorting at how grumpy they were when he touched them.

He smirked as their corruption leaked out, with their tentacles curling around him. He poked the nearest tentacle, impressed at how sharp it could get.

"Excellent magic, little dude. You might survive to adulthood yet"

"Sl-ep Fr-sh n-w". Sun grumbled, annoyed at being woken up for seemingly no reason.

"Not now, my homie. It's time to have fun!"

Sun growled into Fresh shoulder, shuddering as magic enveloped him.

X-Tale AU

Sun looked up at the new surroundings, unimpressed with how dull it was. Where was the colour? Even RepearTale was better than this, even with the tacky decoration.

Fresh whistled at the carnage, a bit sad they had missed the start of the show but was sure there was still plenty to do.

"I found us something fun, little dude"

Sun hummed in question, relaxing as Fresh did the weird clicking sound towards him. He tried to copy the sound but he didn't think he got it quite right, considering the way Fresh laughed.

"Very close but not there yet. Now stay here, little dude and watch me have a rad time"

Sun wanted to argue there was nothing here and jumped when he suddenly sensed a burst of emotion not far away. Where had that come from?

He was put down and watched as Fresh sped off, feeling a tad confused.

He sat down, looking around in anticipation of Freshs surprise. They had such great ideas, making him wish more beings were like them. His skull snapped to the left when he spotted monsters getting closer, hearing the charging of Gaster Blasters and multiple magical bones being thrown.

He was entranced by the fight, unsure why it was occurring but loving the new thing.

" Look at the mess you made! Stay still so i can fix it "

"Error! We aren't trying to kill him!". Sun watched as a Dream spoke, clearly trying to save the Creator, who was feeling rather blank to his senses. Fresh was right, this was interesting!

" I did not agree to that "

Sun smirked as Error threw magic at Dream, before going back to trying to eviscerate Ink with their strings. This was great but he spotted a rather tall skeleton watching as well, not too far away. They briefly glanced at him but were more focused on the show in front of them. Who were they?

Sun stiffened as Ink suddenly appeared in front of him, looking at him before reaching towards him. Thankfully Fresh popped up to block Ink and suddenly a burst of colourful magic enveloped the two monsters.

He stood up to get away and shrieked as he was swept up in someone's arms.

"Chill out, baby parasite. It's just me"

Sun froze at the voice, which conflicted with the body holding him. Looking up he stared in disbelief at the weird outfit Ink was now wearing, that looked more like something Fresh would wear, with how colourful it was. The visor eyewear was odd, with the word 'color' flashing on it.

"What's up? Like my new host?"

"..Fresh?"

"Bingo! Let's go play!"

Sun laughed as Fresh ran around the battlefield, toying with the other monsters and mocking Error every chance they could

" PARASITE! "

Sun loved their new look but looked over as he sensed strong emotions from the tall skeleton monster, who was now looking at him with calculation.

"Who is that, Fresh?"

"Hmm? Oh. That is XGaster. He wants to take over the multiverse. Super unrad if you ask me"

Sun scowled, thinking they reminded him far too much of stalker for his liking.

"GIVE UP, XGASTER! I will no longer be your puppet". Cross shouted, looking rather dishevelled and furious.

Sun's thought was confirmed with this multiverses Penguin shouted out. XGaster was definitely going on his list to avoid, maybe if he was lucky stalker would deal with them.

Their purple eyelights that were staring at him were very creepy. Definitely worse than stalker!

"Oops, looks like i'm running low. Hold on little dude"

"Wha-". Sun flinched as Fresh's real body left, leaving him in the hold of Ink. He stared in bewilderment, hissing in warning when they tightened their grip on him, staring at him with their blank white eyelights.

He was prepared to summon his tentacles but Fresh thankfully came back, with him soon finding himself back in Fresh arms again and Ink being kicked far away.

"Time to go. Getting a bit too hot here for such cool dudes as us"

" GET BACK HERE! I'M' NOT DONE WITH YOU FUNKIN DUDE! "

"Bye Error. This was a super rad time, mah home skillet. Lets play again~"

" DIE! "

Sun held tight onto Fresh as he felt them summon their magic, with a smile stuck on his face. That had been so much fun. Fresh was his favourite!

Undertale AU

"That was awesome, Fresh! Did you see the way-"

Fresh smirked in satisfaction, glad his plan to help Sun out of their shell worked. He listened intently and the hours passed by, still smiling the entire time.

It was when it was getting late that Sun started to look more pensive, looking at him with uncertainty.

"What's up?"

"...i don't want to be controlled Fresh"

Fresh nodded, knowing it was a valid concern. Being a Parasite was difficult and he worked hard to have his current freedom.

"That's natural, little dude. Being confined is a death sentence for our kind"

Fresh lowered his glasses to look at Sun with his true form, taking in their scent fully, in order to confirm his suspicions.

"We may not be exactly the same but you are enough of a Parasite that your instincts will demand you be free, no matter the cost"

Sun looked confused, picking at Fresh clothes in anxiety and trying to look away from him in slight fear. Fresh gently made them look at him, giving them a serious expression.

"Sun. I've known since day one you weren't a pure Parasite like me or born like this. Someone changed you and now you have to deal with it"

Chaos and freedom were the main parts of a Parasites Code. It kept them alive and due to their naturally low level of emotion, were the driving factors of their being.

"You also have to know that sometimes you will be confined but if that happens, you just have to make it the other beings problem"

Fresh smirked ferally at Sun's thoughtful expression, looking forward to the chaos the baby Parasite would unleash on the multiverse.
