Chapter 1: Lost Wallet, Gained Stalker

Red hurried down the busy street stumbling and pushing his way through the crowd trying in vain to make sure he didn't drop any of his papers that he held tightly to his chest. He was going to be late, again. His boss was going to kill him. Running into a strong pair of legs Red fell backwards his papers fluttering to the ground, many being stepped on by uncaring people. Red felt as if he could cry. Frantically he started reaching for his papers grabbing as many as he could before they were completely destroyed.

Papyrus or 'Edge' as the mob boss was dubbed was walking in a black and red tailored suit toward his favorite pub for a minorly important meeting. Monsters had been on the surface for centuries after they had won the human-monster war. After an 'accord' was struck and the species lived side by side but discrimination still ran rampant especially among the criminal underground. Edge had inherited the mob of this city and had expanded the family greatly a fact he took great pride in.

He stopped as he felt something run into his legs and looked down expecting a child but instead saw a short skeleton monster... His eyelights widened a little, that had to be the cutest shortstack he had ever seen. He bent over and helped, holding a hand out to the scrambling monster "you should watch where you are going."

Red blushed stuttering "S-s-sorry i'm trying not to get fired heh heh." Red mentally facepalmed, the guy didn't need to know that. Quickly grabbing the rest of his paperwork Red ran off with a small "Th-thanks." a few papers fluttered behind him, a small black leather wallet that had slipped out of his back pocket left in his place.

Edge was about to retort when suddenly the cute doll was gone... He looked down at the wallet and picked it up and smirked "bingo" he said pocketing it and going to the pub for his meeting.

Red sighed when he finally made it into the office. Making his way to his cubicle Red started straightening out his papers grumbling at the foot prints on a few. Blinking at the few lost ones he quickly made to go print them off again and forge a few signatures. Bumping into his boss Red cowered under his glare.

"Office now."

Red gave a squeaky "yes, sir."

After getting the chewing of the life time Red made his way to the bathroom locking the stall and letting the building pressure in his chest release with a quiet sob. After his breathing had calmed and he wiped away the rest of the wetness on his cheeks, Red worked on making himself presentable again."God i hate this job. I need a drink."

Edge finished his meeting and sat at the bar and opened the left wallet up. Edge went through it to see if he could find the identity of his mystery skeleton.

The wallet contained an ID, a few business cards, a credit card, and a handful of small bills.

The ID had a picture of the shy skeleton, a messy scrawl of Red Font over top of it. Next to the picture had his date of birth which was coming up the next month. Underneath that it confirmed that the skeleton was male, five foot four, and had red eyes. Finally at the bottom held the skeleton's address. A small run down apartment on the edge of town.

Papyrus hummed "I suppose I will have to visit this Red and return this to him..." He purred to himself

Red felt ready to pass out it was almost eleven o'clock when he finally got done with all the paperwork his boss dumped on him as punishment. He wasn't even going to get paid over time, wasn't that illegal? Red sighed slinging his bag over his shoulder heading out of the office. Grillby's would still be open for another hour, plenty of time for a few drinks. Just enough to be able for him to sleep. The trip home would put him on edge and the cool air would surely bring a wakefulness that wouldn't leave until the early morning hours. A few drinks would help. Only one… heh nah three would be enough. Red gave a chuckle opening the bar doors and giving a small sigh as the heat hit him.

Grillby's blue fire lit the place in a calm yet edgy serenity. He was cleaning a glass and smiled as Red came in. He made Red's favorite drink and had it waiting at the bar for him not saying anything as usual

Red groaned giving Grillby a grin "you're the best Gillbz~" taking a long drink Red reached for his wallet to pay for his soon to be three drinks. Blinking Red frantically patted down his pants. When he didn't find it he began digging through his messenger bag Red frowned when he still didn't find it. "Um… heh ya wouldn't put this on a tab would ya Grillbz?"

Grillby turned a darker shade of blue in anger before a more purplish color of disappointment and nodded. Red was a good customer he was sure he'd pay.

Red cowered under Grillby's gaze. "S-s-sorry. I left my wa-wallet at my apartment. I'll just drink this one and p-pay ya tomorrow. Promise."

Grillby shook his head and turned back to his cool blue and pat his head a signal that it was okay and he understood.

Red gave a small relieved sigh. "th-thanks Grillby." after drinking his drink Red shyly looked around the practically empty bar before shyly opening his arms. "Could-could i have a hug? S-sorry that's a stupid thing to ask. Just today was kinda rough and you know i don't really have anyone besides you-god that sounded lame. never mind..."

Grillby shook his head and hugged him gently. Grillby didn't look it, but he was an old monster, a very old monster. He remembered Red from when he was just a baby bones. Grillby had always looked after him when his father was unable to and then after he died.

Red eased into the hold giving a soft hum of contentment. Grillby was always so warm and soothing almost as relaxing as the liquor he sold. Giving Grillby a shy smile once their hug ended Red spoke quietly "thanks Grillby. I really needed that."

Grillby nodded and pet him before letting him go he pointed to the door and then the clock; it was late and he should go rest.

Red nodded rubbing a socket as he gave a yawn. "Yeah yeah. You need some sleep too. I'll see you tomorrow?"

Grillby nodded and pat his register with a wink.

Red blushed nodding "I know I didn't forget. I'll be more careful in grabbing it next time. Bye Grillby." Waving to the flame Red pulled his bag over his shoulder and once more headed into the cold night.

Once he reached the house Red noticed a light on. A light that he would have never left on. Red makes sure to turn off all his lights every morning to save electricity. On his living room table there was his wallet now full of cash and a letter saying his bills had been paid for the next three months.

Red had been prepared to have everything in his apartment stolen not a full wallet. Red looked in every nook and cranny seeing if the guest was still there, but nothing. Sitting down he stared at the wallet wondering when he lost it. "not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but damn someone knows where i live and easily picked my locks. Either i got a secret admirer or a staker... eh that's future me's problem."

There was a snap as someone took picture of him through the window to send to his boss. he didn't know why boss was doing this but he wouldn't question it either.

Before going to bed Red made note to get different locks soon. The next few days passed by quite uneventfully. With a tired sigh Red tapped away at his keyboard. God he hated his job. It was Friday. Work was almost over. One more hour and he was a free man, at least until Monday.

The mail man came by "Mr. Font this letter came in the mail..." He said and handed over a fancy looking envelope that had his name in gold print written on it.

Red sat up taking the envelope and thanking the man. Flipping it over Red looked for a return address or at least who it was from, it was blank. "I never get mail... Looks fancy too." Sliding a finger bone under the edge Red started ripping it open. It tore unevenly which made Red frown thinking more into getting an envelope opener.

Inside was a handwritten letter.

Dear Red Font,
I hope that my gifts have allowed you to improve your life a bit. However it has been brought to my attention you are at a dead end job. After checking your credentials I realize you are qualified for a better job. As such my organization has taken the liberty of searching for openings in the city. We are pleased to inform you there is an opening in Gaster Enterprises for a personal assistant and protege of the Great Wingdings Gaster himself. I highly encourage you take his test and apply.
Your Dear Benefactor, P

It was very pretty cursive and seemed serious, but he knew... He knew Red had once tried to be scientist but no one had given him the time of day

Red shook his head setting the letter down. "...P… damn it this is such a scam." wadding the letter up Red went to toss it before giving a heavy sigh. Spreading out the wrinkles in the letter he folded it up and stuck it in his pocket. If it wasn't a scam it could be what he had been looking for. Frowning Red packed up his stuff and prepared to head to the Bar. Grillby would know what he should do, hopefully.

Red's boss stopped him "where are you going?"

Red froze "i just-the time-works over…."

"I got more stuff for you to do" he said showing him a huge load of paperwork "I want it done and filed."

Red frowned shoulders slumping as he took the paperwork. "you got it boss"

He nodded "damn right now get back to your desk" he said leaving Red.

The letter in Red's pocket seemed heavier. Red sighed popping his back as the time seemed to move at lighting speed. "heh midnight already? Guess i'm sleeping here tonight. Not like anyone will be in on the weekend anyway." it was around five that Red's sockets found their way closed and his skull pillowed in his arms. Happy dreams of lab coats and experiments filled his skull.

When he finally returned home he would find a bouquet of roses on his table slightly wilted from not being found when they were supposed to be. There was also a small note of encouragement for the job.

Red yawned finally trudging into his apartment late into the next day by passing the flowers before stopping and backtracking to them. Red felt tears form in his sockets. Scrubbing his tears away Red got some more water for the flowers lightly touching the petals. Picking up the note Red pinned it to a messenger board. Taking an expo marker he wrote "Thank you P." Scrubbing his tears Red made his way to bed. He would shower and apply for the job later.

He was unharassed the rest of the day, the new thing appeared Sunday the next day. Exquisite looking cupcake showed up next to the flowers. The note on it was written in the same lovely script

I baked this for some guests and wondered if you liked sweets. I hope these gifts don't scare you, your dearest P.

Red walked into the kitchen rubbing his sockets while he made his coffee. Turning Red dropped his mug the ceramic mug shattered sending hot coffee and mug pieces all over. "SHIT!" rushing out of the room to get a broom and paper towels Red quickly cleaned up the mess. Tossing the mugg shards Red made his way back into the kitchen. Right by his roses sat the cupcake that nearly gave him a heart attack. Sitting in the chair facing the delicate treat Red read the note. A small blush formed as he read the note. "Heh my dearest P sure bakes beautiful cupcakes. It's a good thing i love sweets." Red hummed almost moaning at the taste "Damn taste as good as it looks!"

Meanwhile across town Papyrus was enjoying his Sunday brunch with his father. "Has the scientist I recommended applied yet?" He asked the tall handsome skeleton across from him.

Wingdings drank his coffee with a hum "No one of note has applied are you sure he's worth my time?"

"Of course he is I wouldn't send you false hope" he chuckled

Red grinned filling out the application for the job. Chuckling at the basic questions and almost simplistic test. "Stars is this supposed to be hard or did i actually retain all that science shit from all those years back." After filling it out Red sealed it up and slid on his jacket. Putting it under his arm Red locked up his door and dropped the application off in the mail. Grinning he headed to Grillby's. "Heh he won't believe this."

"You only met him once" Gaster pointed out "you are a hopeless romantic" he said

"It runs in the blood" he replied as they paid and left.

Red grinned walking into the bar and hopped up onto the bar stool. "Hey, Grillby you won't believe this." Once he had the bartender's attention Red felt his cheeks heat up in a blush "Heh Grillby i came home to flowers, no not any flowers Roses. No one has ever got me flowers before, let alone Roses. I-i don't even know this person's name. They've already gave me money, flowers, a freaking job opportunity! I hate my job! How did they know though?! How-how did they even know i liked science let alone wanted to work as an assistant under a scientist. Is it… Is this to good to be true?"

Grillby barely had time to process the story, but few things stuck out to him this was fishy, very fishy. He nodded it sound far too good to be true it sounded scary, but the job... He should try.

Red nodded rubbing the back of his neck "i applied for the job, but i haven't quit my other incase it is a scam or i don't get it. Yet, this mysterious P heh i don't know. they just make me feel." Red waved his hand around "special i guess. Heh it's stupid. I mean i'm acting like a little school girl! The flowers oh and a cupcake-Damn it was the best cupcake i ever had!"

Grillby made an offended huff at that last statement.

Red shook his head "you don't understand it was amazing Grillby. Shit… you don't think it had drugs in it do you?! I've had a strange tingly feeling all day-oh god-i've been drugged! Am i even here?! Grillby i've never had drugs before! What if i overdose! Or-or am i breathing to fast- i can't breath... Grillby i can't breath!"

Grillby picked him up and began rocking him. It was a panic attack... Grillby didn't think he was drugged. He held him like a child and rocked him wishing he could comfort him with voice.

Red slowly was able to catch his breath breaking into small sobs. Clinging to the flame Red hid his face into Grillby's shirt. Breathing in deeply he tried to focus on the feeling of flames in front of him. "S-s-sorry s-sorry sorry."

Grillby pet his skull gently he was glad his Sunday customers had left. Gaster and Edge can be grumpy if they don't get their Sunday food. he went and locked the door and carried Red upstairs.

Red sniffled curling up in Grillby's arms. "S-sorry. Y-you shouldn't have to-to take care of m-me."

Grillby shook his head it was fine Red was like a kid to him anyways... A toddler with a drinking permit.

Red sighed leaning into Grillby's hold. "What am I supposed to do Grillby? I think I really like this stranger, but they are causing me panic attacks. Heh am I crazy?"

Grillby nodded he was, but that was fine he had good instincts.

Red laughed hitting Grillby's chest "ya jerk! Hehehe why don't you just out right and agree with me. You're supposed to say I'm not crazy."

Grillby laughed a bit his flames dancing, that would be a lie!

Red grinned "yeah laugh it up. I'm probably gonna get kidnapped and you'll regret it."

Grillby frowned and held him close he wouldn't like that. He would ask around to find this P he had friends in high places...

Red chuckled poking Grillby's frown "come on grumpy you know i'm joking. I'm just going to switch my locks again and leave another message on my message board. I'm not gonna go anywhere. Especially not tonight ya cuddle bug hehehehe."

Grillby nodded and smiled

Red chuckled nuzzling into Grillby's chest as the flame sat down turning down the sheets and flipping off the light. "Heh you're warm i'm gonna fall asleep on ya… will you stay with me?"

Grillby nodded and laid with him burning a softer soothing shade of blue.

Red snuggled closer mumbling a tired thanks before falling asleep.

Edge hummed heading to Red's home he wondered if the cute skeleton was asleep yet he could surprise him.

Red's apartment looked deserted. The lights were off and the door was locked. Red was comfortably tucked into Grillby's arms not a care in the world.

Edge went and picked the lock going inside to look around.

The table still had the beautiful roses that Edge had delivered last time. The cupcake was merely a wrapper now a hastily scrawled note stating it was delicious was left next to it. Edge's note was pinned up next to the other on the messenger board. Red's messy scrawl of thanks still on the marker part of the messenger board. However, the apartment was silent.

Edge purred as he took the note of gratitude and looked around frowning when he found him not home. Had something happened to him? He wrote a quick poem of his joy over his words before leaving to try and find out where he went.
