Hot lands for most wouldn't be the most ideal place to sell hot foods, but hey better than that strange blue bunny who works at the NTT Bar. Besides all that he did get his share of customers, a guy has to earn a living somehow.

He looked up as said human started to trot towards him. On another note the human was coming this way, he'd been watching them since they exited the ruins and true to his words Papyrus hadn't let anything, too bad befall them, hell he'd even slowed down Alphys enough for the human to get a lead. Triggering an event that made it possible for her to be friends with his little goober.

The human paused and placed their hands on their hips making a wide gesture. Papyrus sat up and leaned over grinning. Despite the extreme heat hot lands had, papyrus still had on his favorite hoodie. To be honest heat nor cold bothered him, no skin to speak of or nerves. He tilted his head getting their gestures.

" What this? Oh this is a Noodle hut." His grin grew wider as the human folded their arms and rose a brow," What? You never seen a guy with more than two jobs before?" The human looked to want to challenge what he said but thought better of it. Papyrus leaned back with a grin and gave a lazy grin. They shook their head and dug into their pocket causing the skeleton to sit up a bit confused. Ohhhh? Where they going to by something?

They put some money on the table and pointed. Straight to the point as usual, sometimes he wondered if they could be a little nicer. He shrugged, anyways money was money, working for Alphys and Toriel wasn't exactly funding his own private research. The bar wasn't picking up his normal show either so what the heck.

" Here's your plate a 'getti," He winked then paused. Papyrus couldn't help but notice that the human's pocket was a little full. His smile grew into a full blown grin," Sorry kiddo but your pocket's a bit full, soooo." He Placed the bowl on their head. Sitting back as the human stood there astonished, that he managed to stack it so perfectly." I guess I gotta place it on your head."

Papyrus closed his eyes watching the human walk off, plate still on his head. He had to chuckle to himself.

...

It was a few hours later when papyrus woke with start. He slowly opened his eyes to the small human before him. They narrowed their eyes in determination as they slammed down a lot of money. Papyrus looked at them as they smirked, backing up and showing their inventory. All of it was full, ohhhhhh that's what they wanted...

Papyrus chuckled gently and served up some warm noodles and placed them on their heads. The child looked up, grinning. They gestured towards the table. He rose a brow and placed a plate on top flipped over and another plate. The child's grin widen as they looked at the skeleton challengingly.

Papyrus smirked and turned, things got interesting.

…...

Papyrus had to admit, 29 plates of noodles stacked up was very impressive. Both on his and the child's part but, 30- okay that was just plain excessive. He had to draw a line in the sand somewhere. He gave a sigh as the child careful not to jerk their head placed more money on the table.

" Sorry kiddow." Their smile faltered, strangely enough Papyrus felt a little bad for stopping the kids fun.

" But 30's a little excessive don'tcha think?" His smirk returned as the human huffed a sigh and took the money back, at first he'd made them pay, but once the stacking really got started he'd let them have it for free.

It was more or less for fun for both parties. The human beamed proud of themselves as they carefully walked around balancing the plates. They teetered as they stopped. Papyrus couldn't help but give a loud laugh. The child quickly turned their head as the plates all came crashing down around them. Papyrus grimanced and sat up, he sighed with relief as the human walked away from the mess, unharmed.

They looked unhappy, papyrus frowned lightly, snapped his fingers getting their attention as he shrugged." Ahhh sorry buddy them's the 'Breaks." He shut one eye and held back a grimaced, he figured if it worked for his brother...well...

Papyrus sighed with relief as the human laughed at the bad joke. Papyrus smiled and watched them walk back towards him. He winked as they placed down some money." What ya want ta go again, yer diving me out of noodles and plates kid."

He placed a hand on his head over dramatically as the human snickered. The tall skeleton was about to place it on their head when they stopped him. He rose a brow confused as the human waved him closer. Interested to see where this lead, papyrus complied with the smaller's request.

Once close enough the child let loose one more laugh as they carefully placed a plate on his skull. He blinked and looked up as the noodles wobbled before finally stopping perfectly perched. He looked at the human who folded their arms proud of their work and waved as they turned and walked on heading towards the next trap that Napstatron had for them. They weren't scared, in fact they were having fun with the D.J.

Papyrus laughed one more time and leaned back with a small smirk on his face. A few hours after that Alphys was standing before the sentry glaring down at him. Papyrus himself was unaware of the warriors wrath as he was far far away in dreamland. Snoring away without a care in the world, true they weren't after the human anymore but did that bum have to be so lazy?

And on that note- what the hell was up with that plate of noodles on his head?
