Hmm, I haven't updated in a while....
But uhhhhh-
This chapter is pretty long.
almost 3x as much as I normally write so uhhhh

yea. Have Fun reading this one very loooooooong chapter.

Gold's Pov:

As Abel held a plate of pancakes for each of us, I could smell the sweet buttery smell of them. Holy shit i'm hungry as hell now.

I didn't realize till now how hungry I was. I haven't eaten since yesterday morning now that I think about it...

Smelling the pancakes, they were fantastic. But through all that buttery, sweet, fluff of bread, I could smell a hint of spice....
Maybe it's cinnamon...
No, it smells kinda like it, but there is something else to it that doesn't quite fit its description...

I feel like i'm overthinking things...

As I was passed a plate, everyone began digging in and they were all having a nice time. As odd as the pancakes smelled to me, it would be rude not to try over my assumptions.

I cut myself a piece of the pancake and hesitated as I smelled a bit of spice....
C'mon just eat it...it's your nose messing with you.

I finally decided to take a bite out of the pancakes. I started chewing and....
there was nothing wrong with them....
I hesitated so much for something so harmless.

I was starting to really enjoy them and the spice I had originally smelled wasn't even spice. It was indeed cinnamon.

"Hey Gold, you ok?" Spring asked randomly.
"Yeah? Any reason for asking?" I asked and all he did was shake his head no.

I suddenly felt a ring from my right ear making me flinch and hold my paw over my ear. At the same time I had dropped my fork and everyone was looking at me.

"Gold are you ok?" Spring asked and I nodded. "Just a second ago I was...I just heard a ring in my right ear and it startled me" I explained as everyone had gone back to their conversation except Spring.

"Gold do you need me to get you something?" Springtrap asked me and at this point I was getting a bit annoyed. "I said i'm fine. Let's just continue eating, alright?" I said and Spring hesitated for a bit before continuing our conversation with the others.

The rest of breakfast went pretty well except for when Spring was babying me. I can take care of myself and it was getting on my nerves.

Abel and Dax were talking with Lucy about something while Spring and I were leaving the kitchen.

I have so much on my mind right now and I can't keep trying to hold these secrets....
Not only am I now somewhat part demon but I belong to a family that act as death gods!....Actually that last one isn't surprising.

Either way I just need to talk to Abel while....
The ringing in my ear began again. This time it wasn't so bad, it was not ear bleeding type of ringing but it was subtle...

I don't know why but my eyes decided to shut...
Instead of seeing darkness, I was looking at...Abel?

"Dax are you ok?" he asked as it looked like we were in the kitchen. Dax?

I tried to raise my hands to reveal that...
these aren't my hands....

Before I could think anything else I heard someone call my name. "Gold!" Spring yelled as I opened my eyes back up again.

"Huh?" I said trying to figure out what may be happening to me right now. "I asked you if we should go shopping for your clothes now or later." Spring said.

"Oh! Uhh yeah. Let's go...." I said not fully focused on what Spring was telling me...
What the hell was that about?

I suddenly got pulled by the arm by Spring as he was taking me back to his room. "Spring I can walk by myself y'know!" I said almost tripping because of Spring's sudden pull of my arm.

"Sorry!" he said letting go but not slowing down. It's like he wants a reason to get out of the mansion. It seems like Spring's been running lately because it actually takes me a bit of effort to actually catch up to him unlike before back on Earth.

"What are we in such a rush for?" I asked Spring as I switched over to a light jog. "You'll see~" he said giving me a smirk.

Knowing him, he's probably planned this out yesterday when he knew I was back. He could have done something, but I won't know for sure yet.

I just want to spend some good time with Spring right now....
Ever since yesterday, it's been so hectic and i've barely got any room to relax.

Even this morning was not so casual.
I should tell Spring to try and take things easy today since i'm not in the mood to be in any sort of adventure or trouble...
Just a normal casual day with just me...and him.

Springtrap's Pov:

I was trying to rush Gold and I out of here because i'm excited he's back! I never realized how much I really did miss him until I saw Lucy pull him in unconscious into the mansion.

Because I was Abel's son, I get different treatment to most of the places here. I guess those are the perks of being the devil's son.

I also never realized that I had a sister either. It turns out that my parents decided to put Lucy up for adoption before I was born. I don't know why they decided to keep me but from what I heard, Lucy somehow contacted Abel while I was on Earth.

So when I arrived here around 2 months ago, it suprised me that I had a sister. She was older than me and despite my suspicions, she was able to put that past her and waited patiently as I slowly came to terms with it.

But for now, the point is that most of my life i've had things hidden away from me for so long and not meeting Gold earlier in my life was just one of those secrets waiting to be discovered....

I want to give Gold the best there is to offer and I don't want to waste another second where we could be having a fun time. Gold has been quiet for most of the time but I guess he could just be getting used to the new environment...Oh that reminds me.

"Hey Gold. Outside the mansion gets pretty hot so it'd be best if you take some supplements so your body doesn't overheat." I said to which he looked confused.

"Supplements?" he questioned. "Yeah, it has some side effects but it is only temporary so your body could have enough time to adapt to the changes here." I explained to which he looked hesitant.

"Don't worry, I had to take them for about 3 days before my body didn't need them anymore." I reassured him and he sighed before nodding.

I don't know why, but I took this as a moment to finally really look at Gold's eyes. I was able to look at his tail while he was unconscious in my bedroom but I never got that much time to ever meet him eye to eye.

The underworld has changed his blue eyes into a dark void with only but a speck of light. But somehow, despite the dark void in his eyes, it still seemed to be full of life...

But....al...so.......I...............
"S.....pr.....ar...ou....kay" I heard Gold say as my eyes began to feel heavy.

I....what was I thinking about again?
"Spri......you......kay?" I said as his voice became somewhat clearer for me to understand.

I couldn't feel much of what my body was doing but I think I nodded. It was as if I wasn't in my own body but at the same time I was.

I decided to look away forward-
"Are you sure you're okay?" Gold said as I felt my out of body experience come to an end. "Huh?" I asked not knowing what was happening.

I realized that we had stopped running and were instead just standing still inside my room. When did we get here?

"You were talking about the supplements before you just stopped and looked at me. You even nodded when I asked if you were ok. Is everything alright?" he asked.

"Yeah, maybe i'm still just tired about what we did yesterday hehehe...." I said giving out a sigh.

"If you say so..." he mumbled.
"Anyways, weren't we going to go out shopping for some clothes?" he asked. Oh that's right.

"Yeah, I just came back here so I can grab my wallet. You should bring you're coat. It surprisingly doesn't have the same effects as on Earth." I explained which probably confused him. He gave me a blank stare which showed me he was clueless.

"Let me explain. Temperatures on Earth work differently than here in the underworld. While normally your coat would keep warmth, its effect here is opposite. Don't even ask me any questions because I even struggle to understand that" I explained to which Gold just looked st me baffled.

The underworld gets very confusing and even I struggle to understand some of the things. Though, one of the things that still are a mystery to me are territories around the underworld.

There seems to be 3 types of territories around here. At the top is the Influence Of Power which would be Abel because he basically rules over this whole place. In the middle are the neighborhoods of people who go to hell such as doing crimes, doing unhinged shit, and those who laugh at little kids when they fall....that also seems to be the most common.

As funny as it is sometimes, it's one that many have jokingly said "i'm going to hell for laughing" and what do you know, they actually go to hell....Yeah not a good choice of words if i'm being honest.

Then...there is the part that Abel hasn't let me go through. They are known as the Unspeakable. They are thrown into the lowest depths of hell for doing stuff that...I would never bring myself to talk about.

They are real scums who are past of ever being redeemed. Everyone knows never to go there unless you are asking to get yourself killed a second time.

There is a way to die here, but everyone who has evaporated to dust never to be seen again....

But enough of that. I came here to give Gold a good time, so it's best not to waste any more time then we already have.

Walking outside the mansion, I felt a sudden wave of heat pass me before instantly simmering down to a cool level. I looked over towards Gold and he was looking out without a reaction from him.

Hm. I thought he would atleast have some reaction to the heat. "So ready to get some clothes?" I asked him and he gave me a smile and a nod.

This time Gold held my hand out and gave me a light tug. It seems that Gold was going back to the way he was before. When we first talked he was a bit more timid and not his usual self, but he was starting to go back to his strong self. Yet, it's best that I keep him safe for now...

I still can't believe I left him...
I don't know if he will ever be in trouble again but I need to keep him by me at all times incase anyone tries to hurt him....

Gold's Pov:

Arriving at some sort of mall, I saw that there were a bunch of stores with neon lights. Actually, now that I think about it, the whole place including the outside of the mansion had bright neon lights everywhere.

Blue, pink, and green neon lights would light up most of the places outside of shops as only the inside of stores and buildings contained normal lights.

"I know a good place to get clothes." Spring pointed out and I decided to trust him and I walked along with him over to the store.

As we looked through the racks of clothing around us, I was able to spot a medieval looking cloak that looked really cool. The hood of the cloak had holes on the top that fit my ears perfectly and even had a hole in the back that even fit my tail.

"Hey Spring I know we came to get clothes and saw this and thought it was pretty cool." Spring looked over towards me and saw the cloak I held in my hands. "Yeah, you don't see many people using cloaks nowadays, but it does fit you" he said making me question a bit.

"Fit me how?" I asked raising an eyebrow. "Well, your eyes being black with white pupils with the darkness of the cloak fits with what type of vibe you are giving." he said which made me try and imagine it in my head what I may look like....
.......actually yeah I kinda see it now.

"Well either way it looks cool." I said as I kept a hold of it. Spring throughout the whole store followed me while I was just inches away from him.

As nice as it was having Spring close to me, it felt like he was once again trying to baby me like if I couldn't do things by myself. I know he cares but it is getting a bit annoying how he thinks I can't handle being by myself again.

"Do you need help?" A store clerk asked as I kept looking around. "Actually-" I tried replying before Springtrap jumped in. "No, we're good." he said going infront of me.

"What the hell was that about?" I asked Springtrap because I was annoyed as to what he did. "It's just that it'd be better if I helped you out instead." he said which only made me more confused as to why he did it.

"You could have atleast said it to them in a nicer way...." I grumbled to which he just sighed in an annoyed way?

I decided to not fight with him right now since we are currently in public.

I decided to get myself a few shirts, underwear, shorts, and 3 pair of socks along with the cloak and a hoodie to wear.

Spring decided to pay because I forgot my wallet back at the mansion. Suprisingly here in the underworld they accepted multiple currencies which was actually really convinient.

By the time we had gotten out, we found lut that we've been in there for the last 3 hours which made us realize how much time has passed.

Right now I just want to sit down and hang out with Spring. Maybe I can even try and putting on these new clothes. I decided to take off my coat expecting to be hit with a warm breeze but instead I had barely felt different despite Spring telling me that I would need to take supplements for it.

Now that I think about it, I never took the supplements that Spring told me I should use....

I probably shouldn't ask him since he would start being even more protective over me if I did tell him and I didn't want that. "Hey Spring, do you know a good place to eat?" I asked because even though I had pancakes this morning, it felt like my stomach hadn't been fulfilled all that much.

"Hm? Didn't we eat like 4 hours ago? Actually nevermind that. Yeah, I know a good place to eat. The place has got a lot of food options and they normally have big portion sizes for a pretty good price too." he said which actually made me even hungrier than I was just seconds ago.

"Yeah i'd like that." I said following him over to what seemed to be a small family owned restaurant just outside the mall.

The smell was wonderful. Spring and I looked at the menu above the counter and as Spring said, it had many food options.

I decided to go with the steak burger and fries. Spring said he always chose that as well. We got 2 sodas as well to go with our meal and sat down at one of the tables nearby.

Finally....
I can talk with Spring. Because of Spring's reputation as Abel's son he is actually pretty well known. But that also caused people to look at Spring and I, and sometimes they would also walk up to Spring.

I let out a sigh of relief when I saw that this tiny family owned restaurant was pretty much empty. "So Spring-" I said before a waitress came up to us with out food.

"Here's your food! Enjoy!" she said before walking away. As we were about to dig in, I realized something.

Despite us ordering the same menu item, I saw that Spring's plate had a drastically larger portion than mine. I didn't really mind and I wouldn't be suprised to expect it.

Spring is well known and is the son of the ruler of the underworld so having better treatment wouldn't be something I would consider impossible.

I decided to start eating hoping Spring wouldn't notice but Spring stopped me. I think be also noticed...

"Gold hang on. This isn't right." he said looking annoyed. "What isn't right?" I asked him acting dumb so he wouldn't bring it up.
"Gold I can tell you saw it as well. This doesn't feel right..." he said as the anger in his voice was becoming more visible by the second.

"It's alright I don't mind-" I said before he shushed me. "No it's not alright. Why would they even do that?!" he said beggining to stand up.

I don't know if Spring knows about business but usually well known people are treated better in hopes in giving the place a good name and boosting business. This is something common and it's all done for boosting reputation.

For a family owned business if Spring gives this place a bad name it could ruin them. I quickly grabbed Spring's hand and held him back.

"Springtrap. Don't do this. Trust me, it's fine." I said trying to reassure him that I was fine with it, but he didn't give up and walked to the front counter.

"Who's the manager here!" Spring said yelling at someone who was on the front counter. You idiot!

A guy who looked around 50 or 60 went over to the counter. "I-I am. What seems to be the p-problem Springtrap. W-was the food not good to your liking?" the manager said nervously making me feel sad for this family.

Seeing this family being screamed at for just doing business is awful. And yet, Springtrap does it anyway...

"How come I arrive here with my partner and your family decides to give him unfair treatment!" he yelled disgusting me as to why Springtrap was doing this.

What I wanted was a nice, simple, peaceful lunch with Spring and what I got was anything but that.
"I-I'm so sorry Springtrap! We promise we'll do better!" the old guy apologized as the rest of his family working were looking saddened.

At this point, I needed to knock some sense into Springtrap and him acting this way is just so fucking wrong. I know he tried to mean well but at this point I needed to stop him.

"You better do better! Y'know I could tell people how bad this place-" and before he could even finish those words I slapped him in the face.

"Who just-" he said and turning around to see that I was the one who had slapped him.
"I need you to go outside and wait." I told him in the way I always talk to him when i'm not playing games with him anymore.

"Gold I-"

"Go." I said again pointing towards the door.
I saw as his ears went down as he slowly walked out the door. Once he was outside, I let out a sigh of relief.

I looked over to the family and saw shock in their faces. They probably have never seen Springtrap slapped or comply so easily too.

"Don't worry, he just got angry about me getting treated differently. I'll make sure he doesn't say anything bad about this place to anyone, alright?" I said and the old guy still seemed shocked but was less tense than before.

"Oh and can I get the food in a take out container please?" I asked. "Y-yeah, o-of course." he said still sounding nervous about what happened before.

Once I got Springtrap and I's food. I walked over to the front and apologized once more for Spring's actions. "T-Thank you..." the owner said giving me a genuine smile.

"No problem, i'd like to say that this food tastes great but unfortunately I haven't had a chance to taste it yet, but I will next time I pass by this place!" I said before I waved the owner goodbye and walked outside.

Sitting on a bench, I saw Springtrap looking down at the ground. I didn't realize but it had started raining and the neon lights reflected on the puddles of water on the ground.

I had bought an umbrella beforehand since I saw that it was going to rain mid-day.

I opened the umbrella and went over to Springtrap. I was pissed on what he did earlier and hopefully he knew what he did wrong.

As I sat down next to him, I moved the umbrella so that it would cover the both of us.

We sat in silence as I saw him slowly lift his head to see me. I could tell by the way his eyes looked that he had felt shame.

"Springtrap...Do you want to take a guess as to why I slapped you?" I said quietly.
"...." Springtrap remained silent.

It stayed that way for a while as I heard him sniffle a bit. I heard as the raindrops touched the dark grey cement floor.
"I was being a jerk...wasn't I...." he said slowly before letting his head hang low again.

"I think you being a jerk is a bit of an understatement..." I said in a calm but stern voice.

"I'm sorry...I really am-"
"You should be apologizing to the owner of that place. Not me." I said interrupting his apology.

"I know...I was just doing it because that wasn't fair Gold...It wasn't fair that they get to treat you any less than I do...you deserve better than that..." he said before letting out a sigh.

"Spring...it also wasn't fair that you were about to bring their business down because of some inequality. In business, there is always going to be someone who's treated better for their looks, importance, or their connections." I began explaining.

"I was fine with that because business is business. But you were about to let your power as the devil's son to try and give the restaurant a bad reputation which could affect that family greatly? I know you're not like that and hopefully never will be, but please...when I tell you that i'm fine, i'm fine." I said finishing what I wanted to say.

I waited for a response from him but I got nothing. He must be thinking but the silence has become uncomfortable. I was starting to think he wasn't going to say anything until he finally spoke.

"W-why do you k-keep saying that..." Spring said now in tears. "What do you mea-"

"You always say you're fine when you're clearly not! At this point I can't tell wether you are telling me the truth! You've always acted calm and collected most of the time and today I thought you were enjoying everything so far but hell, I may be mistaken and you could be annoyed or angry and I wouldn't be able to tell!!!" he screamed before trying to calm himself down.

"I...I just want to keep you safe and give you everything that you deserve. But sometimes I don't know what to do because you can't even trust yourself on your own words...." he said before leaning into me.

"....." Now it was my turn to be the silent one...I forgot that Spring is one of the only people who know that I am not always true on my words when it comes to my feelings and to know that he would take that into consideration is sweet of him....

"I see....I definitely do have some fault in this because as you mentioned before. Today...wasn't one of the best days. All I wanted was to be able to talk and chat peacefully with you and be able to enjoy our time out together after being away for 2 months but...." I said pausing before Spring finished my sentence.

"but people keep approaching me and we never found a moment to just have time to ourselves..." he said slowly before I nodded.

The rain started pouring harder and the neon reflection on the puddles shined bright while Spring leaned on me.

"Despite our peace being interrupted all day, it feels nice to sit here next to you and watching the rain pour down...." I said giving a light chuckle as I played with Spring's hair in one hand and holding the umbrella in the other.

"Yeah....it does. Doesn't it." he said before snuggling up closer to me to tbe point where he was leaning on my chest.

We stayed in that position for a bit and I saw him close his eyes. I decided to close my eyes as well and quietly listen to the rain fall.....
.......................

Closing my eyes was peaceful as I see darkness.....
......................

Suddenly I feel my eyes open, I hear this music box playing a tune that sounds a bit eerie in my head. I'm also not looking at Spring when I opened them.
I'm not even on the bench...

I saw as I was seeing myself sleeping on the bench with Spring. The rain was pouring down as we both stayed there. From where I was looking, I was behind a tree...

I was getting closer to...myself?
I started walking towards the bench where me and Spring were. I couldn't control my movement either...What the hell is happening.

Before I could think anything else, I saw as I was pulling out a knife? I was walking towards us?!

Right when it was only a few feet from us, I started to try and make a way to maybe make myself wake up somehow.

Suddenly, I got myself to ACTUALLY wake up and before I could look up at whoever was approaching me, I saw as the knife clanked on the floor but no one around that could have carried it....

I looked at the knife that was on the floor in the same spot where I saw myself walking towards us.

Was I...about to get killed? If I was....then what was I doing? It's like it was my body but also not mine....

I tried to calm myself down and I saw as Spring was sleeping peacefully on my lap. I smiled and decided I should probably carry Spring back home.

I lifted Spring up and carried the bags in the others. I decided to pick up the knife on the floor as well as it would be bad to leave something like this laying out in the open.

As I walked back to the main streets, I saw as many demons, humans, and other animals looked at me in shock. I did not know the reason but i'd probably have to do with Springtrap.

I confirmed my suspicions when a tall and huge demon confronted me. It scared me to see that this guy had gigantic muscles...Holy shit this guy could probably beat me up.

"H-hi?" I said as he approached me. The guy seemed as nervous as I was...
"H-hey can I ask you o-one question?" the demon asked and I nodded as I was too nervous to speak.

"How are you able to carry Sir Springtrap?" he asked and I almost bursted out in laughter when I heard the demon refer to Spring as "Sir Springtrap" which I thought was hilarious as hell!(Pun Not Intended)

"Huh? How am I able to carry him? He's always been pretty light, though right now he's a lot lighter than usual" I said as everyone else gasped.Uhhhh-

Before I knew it, people were taking picture after picture WITH FLASH?! AREN'T THE NEON LIGHTS BRIGHT ENOUGH?!

I ran off to a detour path and began going back home there. I decided to take the longer roads back to the mansion as I felt like there were too many eyes on me back there.

I made it back to the mansion without any more people taking pictures and when I got to what looked like the main room, I saw Abel, Dax, and Lucy all watching tv on the couch.

I decided to lay Spring on the singular couch that was beside them and when I turned to them, they had their eyes wide when they saw me. "Not you guys too!" I groaned.

"I thought the pictures online were photoshopped but you ACTUALLY managed to carry Springy?!" I heard Lucy yell. "Online?" I asked and Lucy pulled out her phone and showed me the underworld's version of...twitter?
Oh right I forgot twitter doesn't exist anymore...

When I saw what appeared on the trending tab, I saw that most were tagged with a photo of me carrying Spring. It was basically almost everywhere on there. Out of all things to be on social media for....

"Why is everyone so obsessed with me carrying Spring?!" I yelled to which Abel decided to reply.
"Because believe it or not, no one in the underworld has managed to carry Luke off the ground higher than half a meter so i'm guessing that caused all the commotion....not even I can lift him off the ground that high" I heard Abel mumble the last part.

"Hahah! And you tried for the last month and still couldn't lift him off the ground higher than tha-"
"THAT'S NOT THE POINT....." I heard Abel interrupt Dax before clearing his throat.

"Either way, it's not surprising to get all the attention for that." Abel said trying not to sound petty but it was clear he was.

"That would explain a lot...." I said looking at the bunny who I thought was so light but turns out to be heavy. "So does that mean I just have really good strength or...." I asked confused as to why I was able to carry him.

"Only one way to find out" Abel said while smirking and reaching out his arm as to arm wrestle me.
Oh shit maybe I shouldn't have said anything...

?[©}¢](?*?"?¢✓¢:

"Ugh! For the last time! I don't want to see whatever you saw online?!" I screamed at my work mate as he had been pestering me about this phenomenon that happened about some guy being able to carry Sir Springtrap...

"Pleeeease! Just look how cool this bear looks!!!" he said sounding more annoying every second.

"Fine! Let me see that-" I said before then looking at the yellow fur...the black eyes...The tail...

That's.....
He must be-
He's definitely one of us!
We haven't seen one of our own in a very long time.....

"Who is this bear?!" I asked my work mate. "I-I-I don't know but they are good friends with Sir Springtap!" he said which didn't give me enough to work with, but definitely gave me enough to try and look for him.....

That bear could be our way back....
