Chapter 10

                                    

                                          
There was a gasp.
                          
Asgore had been looking for Asriel ever since the fight has end. 
                          
"What is...."
                          
He saw that there was two of them. His face was in utter shock and confusion.
                          
Noelle looked at Azzy in concern and is a bit nervous for him.
                          
Asriel looked at Asgore. "Dad!" He ran over to him and hugged him while crying.
                          
"That's...not your dad, Asriel." Azzy sighed. He felt the dread of meeting his dad like this. But he masked any hint of it.
                          
Asgore was baffled. He looked down at Asriel. Or was that his son? Then he looked up at Azzy.
                          
Asgore grabbed a hold of his head. He bitterly laughed. "Why is it that I see two of you? Have I gone insane?"
                          
Azzy was staying silent.
                          
"No, sir." Noelle spoke up. "You're not seeing things."
                          
"This boy..." Asgore looked down at Asriel. "Isn't my son....?" then looked up at Azzy in confused. "You...?"
                          
"I'm your son. But there are two of us because of there being more than one universe together," Azzy explained. "I've been going by the name Azzy to make it less confusing. That other one didn't know that you aren't his dad, so we didn't say anything...We didn't want to cause problems."
                          
Asriel started to cry louder. "So...what happened to my dad then? A-and my mom?" He didn't move away from Asgore. It gave him some small amount of comfort to hug someone who looked like his dad.
                          
Asgore's eyebrows furrowed. He slightly patted Asriel's back. "The experiment Alphys did... Was a success? You're really back?"
                          
Noelle looked in question. "Experiment?"
                          
Asgore didn't let Azzy speak. He's a bit overwhelmed with emotions. "This is... A lot to take in... Where are this one's parents?" 
                          
"I'm from another universe. So... He is too. There's a lot to explain..." Noelle said. "There was a calamity and it caused our universes to merge. This is speculation of course."
                          
"And can you return?" Asgore asked.
                          
"It's..." Noelle's face darkened. "Impossible."
                          
"So I can never see them again?" Asriel asked. "I can never..." He wasn't able to finish. 
                          
"There's a lot we don't know," Azzy said. "A lot of unanswered questions right now."
                          
Asgore was silent for a few moments. "Asriel." He looked at Azzy. He lifted one paw up. "Can you come here? It's been.... far too long."
                          
Azzy just nodded and went over to him, hugging him in return. He didn't realize that he actually missed the feeling of Asgore's hugs. His eyes started to moisten. "I missed you..."
                          
"I too..." Asgore looked down at the other Asriel. "And you, I may not be your real father, but I will gladly let you in our family."
                          
Asriel of course wanted that. He thought that maybe it would make him feel better. He wasn't sure though. "Maybe I shouldn't live with you...I will visit sometime though." He wiped his eyes. "I still want to look for my brother."
                          
"Chara?" Asgore blinked. "Is Chara back?!" His expression changed.
                          
"Um.. Well..." Noelle looked at Azzy. 
                          
"Not ours," Azzy clarified. "The one from his world is...a bit different."
                          
"You see-" Noelle tried to speak.
