Fumbling Through It

Summary:

Susie and Kris turn an awkward situation on its head. Takes place at the end of ch2 when they’re hanging out around town after their adventure in the dark world.

Notes:

I just found this thing I wrote in 2022 right after playing ch2. We’re posting ch2 fanfic in 2026 ig! I had never published a fanfic back then and never really intended on sharing this, so that’s how I ended up stashing it away and completely forgetting about it until now. But it was entertaining to read again, so what the hell, I’m sharing it! I guess I chose to write this in past tense back then? Not a choice I’ve made with anything recent. Anyway, enjoy!

Work Text:

Lately, Kris felt like they might be starting to understand why anyone bothered to weather the awkward parts of getting to know someone. Hanging out with Susie was actually the most fun they’d had since Asriel was around. They hadn’t expected to make an actual friend at school, and that it was Susie of all people was a surprise of its own.

They had just spent god-knows-how-long together in the Dark World once again, and although it was as if time in their own world had slowed down in their absence, the experiences they had in the Dark World together were something real that they carried home with them. They had really been through all that, and together. And at the end of the day’s journey, they only wanted to spend more time together.

That’s how Kris ended up spending the rest of the day with Susie, just the two of them, roaming the familiar streets of Hometown together. Neither of them wanted to go back home just yet. They were enjoying each other’s company too much for that.

At Susie’s suggestion, they started heading down to the pond. “We could like, skip rocks or something. I dunno.” She said. Kris kind of got the impression that she wasn’t used to spending much time with company either. “Sounds cool.” They said, and tagged along behind her as she switched course.

She was doing that thing again where she was walking too fast and had to slow down every few paces just to let Kris catch up. It didn’t take long for this to start to annoy her. “Kris, you’re so damn slow, get over here!” She complained. Kris just kept walking at the same pace until they were caught up.

About a minute later they were almost at the pond, but they were out of sync once again with Kris lagging behind. “Damn it Kris, let me give you a piggyback or something”

“Uh”

She was probably just making fun of them, but that actually sounded like fun. Susie wasn’t kidding though— she crouched in front of them and told them to hop on. Kris just went with it. Their heart started to race when Susie hoisted them up on her back and stood. She started walking swiftly and with ease.

“Kris you weigh like nothing!”

Susie really made carrying them seem effortless. Kris felt a swell of fondness and a tug in their chest, but what followed was a pang of anxiety. They didn’t want Susie to pick up on their hammering pulse with the way their torso was sandwiched against her back. They shifted a little to attempt to put some space between their body and hers, but it was impossible to pull off while being carried on her back and only meant they shifted their weight lower. Oh, that was way worse— “Dammit, quit squirming! You want me to drop you?” Susie tightened her grip around Kris’s legs and hopped in place to jostle them to a higher position.

Which made things go exactly as Kris feared— they were overwhelmed by Susie’s handling, by her closeness, by the friction… and, mostly, by their huge unbearable crush on her. And ordinarily they felt like they kept those feelings under wraps well enough not to be suspected. Now their body was going to ruin everything by reacting on its own.

She had to have felt that Kris was getting hard. Why wasn’t she saying anything? Kris would have to apologize, but first they had to get down—

“Uh. Oh.”

There it was. God, this was awkward.

Susie put Kris down gently but hastily and stepped ahead a few paces. Her hands drummed at her sides nervously.

Kris deliberated over a response- should they apologize? Pretend nothing happened? Susie seemed to be giving the latter a try, and it wasn’t helpful. They had better apologize to her. Kris cleared their throat—

“Sorry” Susie muttered.

“What?” Kris blurted out, “Don’t be— It’s my fault.”

“Yeah, you’re right.”

Kris could hear the smirk in her voice even with her back turned to them.

“Heh, need to cool down, Kris? Would it help if I dunked you in the pond?”

Oh no, she just had to be mean about it. Kris couldn’t even answer— of course that sounded awful, and they knew it was a totally empty threat. But they also felt unnecessarily excited by that scenario. She could pick me up and throw me so easily, and I’d deserve it. The thought made Kris’s heart thrum and their situation downstairs more urgent.

“Yeah, do it.” They finally answered, too humourlessly to come off as sarcastic.

“What? Kris, I was kidding! I’m not really gonna dunk you!” Susie turned back around to face them and Kris turned their back to her just as fast.

“God— come on, don’t look, Susie!” Kris pleaded.

They could hear her fidgeting behind them, remaining in place several paces away. “I’m kind of flattered, if I’m being honest”, Susie said. It took Kris by surprise.

“D—don’t tease me about this, I can’t—“

“I said I was being honest”

“Seriously?” They tested.

“Come on, Kris! I’m… I guess I’m asking if you want to fool around?”

“Holy shit.”

“You can say no too, obviously.” Susie supplied nervously.

“Uh… you want to?” Kris asked, just as nervous.

“I suggested it, dumbass!”

“Right. Um. Ok. I mean. Yes.”

Kris’s answer was all flustered mumbling, but Susie was ready as ever to get moving as soon as she got the go-ahead. She grabbed Kris by the hand and pulled them off the path and into the woods in a hurry.

“Let’s find somewhere nobody could just show up— oh! There’s kind of a gully over here.” Susie led the way and Kris stumbled after her, led by the arm.

“Ah— could you slow down? It’s kind of uncomfortable to walk like this.”

“Haha, oh right, your stiffy.”

Kris’s hand flew up to cover their face.
“Susie…” they groaned.

“I can princess carry you to bonertown— would you like that, Kris?” She goaded, looking back over her shoulder to watch Kris’s reaction.

“No” Kris protested, half-laughing, but blushing furiously.

Susie slowed her walking pace down, at least. Kris followed her down the slight slope around a creek that fed into the pond. It was a little bit secluded and a calming sort of place— the trickle of water even made for pleasant background noise.

“Yeah, this place seems alright” Susie mused. She let go of Kris’s hand and gripped their shoulders instead, steering them in front of her. She brought Kris close, spooning them from behind and started to explore them with her hands. She held them still with her chin hooked over their shoulder, and snuck her hand underneath their sweater. Kris froze and their muscles tensed under Susie’s hand.

“Twitchy” Susie teased, “are you gonna unzip?”

“Uh. Yeah.” Kris responded in a daze. Was it weird that they kind of expected her to kiss them before any of this? Or was it weird to want to kiss your friend? This whole situation was nothing short of weird, but clearly Susie wasn’t bothered by that. Kris fumbled a bit with the button (sweaty hands, damn it) but got their fly undone, pausing again after that.

“C’mon, lemme see.”

Susie palmed at Kris over the pants and they gasped. She nudged her snout up against their neck and ear, and when she exhaled it made Kris shiver.

She pressed them onward with a tilt of her hips against their backside. Kris slipped the waistband of their underwear down, allowing their erection to spring free. Susie reached for it without hesitation- she pressed her warm, open palm to the underside. A whimper escaped Kris’s lips and Susie smirked against their neck. She folded each finger around it slowly until her large fist gripped the entire length. Kris groaned out loud.

“Nice.” Susie remarked. Kris felt a warm flush blooming across their skin. Susie’s grip was testing— firm, but still. She gave a little tug and Kris grunted.

“Uh. I don’t really know how to do this…” Susie admitted, sounding less confident than her usual self. Kris reached back to brush lightly through Susie’s hair.

“What you’re doing is good.” They assured her.

“You don’t have to humour me, l’ve never touched dick before, I dunno what feels right.”

“You tightened your grip a bit when you pulled. That feels good.”

“Like this?”

Susie pumped her fist a few times, squeezing a bit on the pull back. Kris rolled their head back onto Susie’s shoulder. She knocked the breath out of them— Susie’s hand kept moving and Kris couldn’t speak. Their mouth hung open and eyes wrenched shut.

When she stopped her movements it felt to Kris like emerging from a fog.

“Argh!— Kris your fuckin hand!“ she reached up to untangle Kris’s fist from her hair.

“Huh? Oh, shit, sorry.”

Kris hadn’t realized that they’d grabbed Susie’s hair. It must have happened when they were just trying to stay upright.

“I felt like I was falling over.” They explained.

“Just lean back on me then. Or like, hold some part of me that’s not my hair.” Susie guided.

Kris held on to Susie’s belt with a hand on either hip. The resulting movement caused Susie to grind against Kris’s backside and she let out a little satisfied hum. Kris tilted their head back to look at her.

“That works,” Susie nodded. She petted and sniffed Kris’s hair “God you smell good.” she growled next to their ear. Kris leaned back against her, legs going weak as Susie began stroking again.

“You can pull my hair a little…” Kris suggested, quiet as a near-whisper.

“Oh, yeah?” Susie sounded amused.

She grabbed a handful at the base of Kris’s neck and tugged their head back lightly. Kris hissed a yes. Susie started jerking them more roughly too— Kris had to brace themselves against her to keep upright.

“Heh, freak.” She let go of Kris’s hair and stuck her hand up the front of their shirt. Her hand ran firmly up from midriff to chest, lifting Kris’s sweater with it. Her claw-tipped fingers dragged satisfyingly against their skin.

“Mmnh. Can you slow down a bit?” Kris asked. When Susie slowed the hand petting their torso they specified the other hand with a bit of a laugh.

“Oh. Right.” Susie moved her other hand slower “Good?”

“Yeah.”

“I got distracted feeling you up. You’re all smooth and really warm.”

That was an odd compliment, if it was one. Kris supposed it was probably just fascinating for a monster to get to touch a human so intimately.

“Thanks.”

“There’s another smell underneath your shampoo… it’s kinda nasty, but I like it too. Kinda.”

“Oh.” That was weirder. Kris had no idea what else to say to that.

“Like soup.” Susie elaborated. She sniffed Kris’s neck, eliciting a shiver and sharp inhale on their part too. “I don’t love it but it’s not bad.”

Kris couldn’t hold back a laugh at that comment, and Susie clutched her hand tight against their shaking abdomen. Their laughter trailed off into a moan, and Kris shut their lips tight out of embarrassment. Susie chuckled in turn.

Susie kept up a slow pace jerking Kris off with one hand and caressing them with the other. Her exploring hand came to rest splayed over Kris’s chest. Their heart beat frantically under her touch. Kris vividly pictured Susie holding their heart in her hand. Even private thoughts could be so embarrassing…

“Is it true that your dick gets hard because it’s full of blood?” Susie asked.

“Uh, yeah.”

“Sick.”

Susie was so… open about all this. And surprisingly into it. What was so good about this for her, anyway? Was the draw mostly a fascination with Kris’s humanness? That sort of made sense— Kris was positively giddy over Susie’s monster strength and size. And, they wouldn’t tell her this, but they liked to imagine her holding their throat between her jaws.

Maybe being desired by anyone weirded Kris out a little, but at the same time it made them feel good. They wanted Susie to know the feeling too, but didn’t know what to say.

“You… turn me on” Kris tried anyway, feeling the regret hit immediately. They just weren’t any good with words.

“Heh, obviously.” Susie said smugly. She did seem to respond well to the praise though. “Do you ever think of me when you’re alone at night?”

“Yes” Kris replied a little too quickly.

“Yeah?” Susie sounded amused. “You have fantasies about me?”

“…Yeah” Kris answered a little more carefully. They couldn’t deny it.

“I gotta hear about this” Susie egged on. Kris started to feel insecure about how much they were sharing. They stayed quiet.

“Hmmm?” Susie stopped her stroking.

Damn it. Rude.

“I— I think about you pinning me down,” Kris blurted out. They could feel her grin curl against their neck, and she started moving her hand again, just a bit too slowly.

Kris went on, voice shaky and breath heavy, “You pick me up and shove me around… a—and do things the way you want… you’re so fucking hot—!”

“Whoa, haha” Susie seemed almost shocked for a second, but soon she was moving her hand rougher and faster like she’d been spurred on, and Kris was ready for it. They arched their back and growled out some desperate noise. Susie ran her hand down the taught curve of Kris’s arched torso, making them curl in on themselves instead. Kris felt like their body was quaking.

“Fuck. Fuck… Fuck!”

Kris couldn’t so much as form a sentence. They were so close, the fact that this was happening at all was like a dream.

When Susie grabbed Kris by the hair again they went silent. She kept her other hand moving, but leaned over to look Kris in the face when their stream of profanity stopped. Kris’s hair was covering half their face, of course, so she had to ask instead—

“Kris, are you ok?”

“…ungh!”

Kris came in her hand. Susie let out a surprised “Oh”. A few more warm spurts in her hand, some satisfied grunts from Kris, and they were finished.

Susie released her hand from Kris’s hair and slowed her stroking to a stop. They stood together, Kris catching their breath and Susie just kind of standing there wide-eyed. They separated when Susie stepped back and made a fuss about her handful of cum. Kris pointed her in the direction of the creek, but she was already scraping it off on a tree. She walked down to the creek to rinse off after, at least. Kris made themselves decent and followed her.

The quiet was getting stifling. Kris felt compelled to say something, but couldn’t decide what. Did they say thanks next? No, no, that would be stupid. They really wanted her to know that they liked it though.

“That was awesome.” they managed to get out. It wasn’t a lie, but it sounded pretty dumb when they said it out loud.

“Right? Literally never given a handjob before, I’m just good at stuff.”

To their relief, Susie was still herself.

The two followed the creek down to the pond, and sat in the grass, facing the still water. This time the quiet was comfortable. They sat for a few minutes in relaxed thought.

“Susie?”

“Hm?”

“I want to get you off like that.”

She turned to Kris and smirked.

“I’d let you try. But there’s gotta be a bed. There’s no way I could do it standing up in the woods like that.”

“Okay. But where the hell would we have the privacy…” Kris trailed off and looked at Susie, who appeared to be having the same thought.

“The Dark World” “Our rooms!” They each declared at once.

Susie crossed her arms “Damn it, then what do we do about Ralsei?”

“Think we could send him on some kind of quest? He’s all about quests.” Kris joked.

“Maybe we could just tell him to get lost”

Kris wasn’t sure if Susie was a joking or not, but it made them laugh. (Which they felt a bit guilty for. Next time they saw Ralsei they’d give him a hug.)

“Hmm. If I bring a condom in my pocket to the Dark World, is it gonna turn into A Guy and make me do puzzles?”

Susie laughed loudly, then elbowed Kris. “Damn! I thought we were just talking about hand stuff.”

“Oh. Sorry for—“ Kris started.

“—I’m not saying it’s a bad idea.“ Susie interjected.

Well then. That was out in the open now. Kris’s heart started racing all over again. Both of them fidgeted and looked away to focus on the scenery in silence. This had all gone so strangely well, and there was no need to rush into anything else.

Still, a swell in Kris’s heart urged them to make more of the moment. They moved their hand to rest on top of Susie’s, and she turned to look at them. Kris’s other hand came to rest on Susie’s cheek. She didn’t turn away when Kris moved in close enough to bump noses.

Kris closed their eyes and nuzzled her. Their face was, admittedly, a strange shape for this- when Kris nuzzled they put a lot more forehead into it than any monster with a snout might do. Susie held still, seemingly in anticipation, and Kris knew this was their chance. They lifted their chin up slowly to bring their lips in line with hers, then rested there and waited to see if she’d kiss back.

She smiled. Then she wrestled Kris to the ground. Then she kissed them back.
