1. Papyrus x Frisk (Easter Oneshot)


Frisk rolled around sleepily in her bed. It was morning, yet she still didn't want to get up. She was afraid she would freeze without her covers on. Morning light streamed through the window, and when she turned for the hundredth time a beam hit her eye and she yelped at the sudden exposure to brightness.

"Dammit," the girl rubbed her eye and pulled the sheets over her.

Right as she thought she could fall back asleep, her door opened with a loud slam and the covers were torn off her body rudely, leaving her naked legs exposed to the cool outside air.

"WAKE UP, HUMAN! IS IT NOT ONE OF YOUR SPECIAL HOLIDAYS YOU CALL 'EASTER'?" Papyrus hollered, grinning down at the shocked brunette.

"GeT ouT!" Flowey suddenly screeched from the nightstand beside her. "i WaS SLeePiNG, You iDioT!"

So this was how the day was going to start.

Frisk risked opening up her eyes to glare at the tall skeleton above her, who was oblivious to Flowey's insult.

"HELLO!" Papyrus waved once she had fully opened her optics.

A small flicker of amusement went through her at this, but it was soon gone. "Don't you do that ever again!" Frisk slid off the bed and landed before Papyrus' boots. "Let me get dressed!"

She got up and walked over to her dresser then pulled it open.

At the same time, her boyfriend was rambling behind her, "IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A HAPPY DAY! DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT," he chided lightly when Frisk turned around to glare at him. "YOU EAT CANDY ON THIS DAY AND GIFT IT TO OTHERS, IF I AM CORRECT. SO I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU!"

"Oh, really now," Frisk's voice was muffled by her shirt as she pulled it off and searched for a fresh one.

"YES! ALTHOUGH, CHARA HAS TRIED STEALING IT FROM ME... SHE CERTAINLY DOES LOVE CHOCOLATE!"

Now fully awake, Frisk inquired, "What'd you get? A bunny?"

"HOW DID YOU KNOW?" The tall skeleton pouted and walked up behind her with his lanky arms crossed. "IT WAS MEANT TO BE A SURPRISE, YOU SLIPPERY SNAIL!"

"Just a hunch," Frisk was now trying to put on some jeans without stumbling.

"OH, WELL, NO MATTER! WE CAN BOTH GO DOWNSTAIRS AND LOOK AT OTHER PEOPLE'S GIFTS WHILE I GIVE YOU MINE!" A gloved hand wrapped around the eighteen year old's wrist and she was pulled away from her room, still frantically trying to button her pants.

Papyrus stormed down, and somehow Frisk managed to keep up and they both landed on the floor with a thump. Her boyfriend then tugged her along to the dining room, where all her friends were siting. She could vaguely hear Flowey screaming upstairs about being left behind. Papyrus hurried back up the flight to retrieve the buttercup. Everyone was seated at the dining room table, Sans at the head, then Gaster, Chara, Asriel, Thrill', Undyne, Alphys, and the last two empty seats beside them for Frisk and Papyrus going clockwise. Flowey could just be placed on the table or in Frisk's lap.

Speak of the devil. The very golden flower was descending in Papyrus's hands now. He had a particularly mutinous look on his face at the moment, his mouth set in a tart line.

"Swallow a lemon?" Frisk sat down next to Alphys and took his pot from the tall skeleton, then placed him in front of herself.

He gave her a hiss in response. Chara looked up sharply at this and Flowey shied away, seeing her and Asriel together. Frisk just now took in the enormous mound of chocolate in front of the demon, ranging from chocolate coins to Easter bunnies as big as her head. There were also a few name brand chocolates thrown in here or there, such as Snickers, Milky Ways, Three Musketeers, Twix, you name it. No white chocolate was on the mound.

Seeing Frisk's shocked expression, the half vampire beside Chara explained, "She..." The hybrid yawned, "She made a list..." Another yawn. "We... Papyrus and I... Had to go out and get it all or suffer the 'consequences'..." She trailed off and fell asleep, head falling forward and smacking on the table.

Gaster and Chara both looked at the sleeping half breed with an unpleasant look on their face.

Sans was in no better state. He was blinking lazily and his breaths were slow, and his eyes (or lack of, thereof) had a glazed look to them. It seems like Papyrus had woken everyone up and they didn't take to it as well as Frisk did.

The said skeleton banged his foot on the ground underneath the table, jerking the two awake. There were now chocolate bits blending into Thrill's brown and midnight blue streaked hair. Her glasses looked smudged and foggy.

"WE HAVE AN EXCITING DAY!" Papyrus spread his arms out quickly, and Frisk just barely missed hitting them before she ducked. Sans, however, got smacked right in his nose socket. "METTATON HAS INVITED US ALL TO HIS HOME FOR AN EASTER PARTY, AND WE MUST FULFILL THE ACTIVITIES OF THIS HOLIDAY! FIRST, THE GREAT PAPYRUS WILL MAKE BREAKFAST! THEN WE CAN ALL GO OUTSIDE FOR AN EGG HUNT!"

"egg-cellent," Sans muttered, gaining a dirty look from his brother and smile from his father. "it's gonna be a scrambled day."

"SANS, NOT EVEN YOUR ATROCIOUS PUNS CAN RUIN THIS," Papyrus remarked while standing up. He pushed in his chair and walked through a small archway behind him to the kitchen. "NYEH HEH HEH HEH HEH!"

The rest of them remained seated, remaining entertained by poking at Chara, trying to take one of her chocolates, and having her completely explode every time someone got near her. By the time Papyrus was finished making food for everyone Chara's hair was frazzled and she was hugging all of the chocolate in a death grip. Thrill' and Undyne gave their signature laughs ("Pfft, ahahahaha!" and "Fwuhuhuhuhuh!") while Asriel sat silently and stared down into his lap.

Papyrus came back with plates stacked high up his arms, and he placed them all down without shattering or dropping one.

"Impressive," Gaster complimented his son and patted his back, then received an unexpected yet not unwelcome hug from Papyrus.

The food was just as impressive. He certainly had improved, about a million times, from the warm and fluffy pancakes, scrambled eggs, and crunchy bacon. His skills ranged much farther than spaghetti now. When they all were done, Papyrus looked at Frisk and said, "NOW FOR YOUR GIFT!"

He reached underneath his chair with a concentrated look on his features. Suddenly, he jumped over and stuck his head underneath the seat.

"WHAT HAPPENED TO IT?" He cried out, looking devastated.

Chara began unwrapping a chocolate bunny while staring at Papyrus.

Frisk smiled when he finally noticed and groaned, "OH, THAT WAS FOR THE OTHER HUMAN! I TOLD YOU TO NOT STEAL IT!"

Chara shrugged and Papyrus crossed his arms, looking stressed.

"hey bro, quit skull-king," Sans laughed, and his brother screeched, while Gaster put his face in his hands.

They all ate in a light clamor, muttering between themselves with someone making the occasional joke (mostly Sans). When everyone was done, Papyrus offered to carry up the plates to be cleaned and he came back with an enormous basket full of fake, plastic Easter eggs and a wide beam on his face.

"WHO WANTS TO HIDE THEM WITH ME?" He asked and Thrill's hand shot up before Undyne's and Frisk's.

Papyrus took her outside and left the two rejected girls glaring after the two. A few times Gaster had to keep Sans or Frisk from looking out the window, but other than that there was no trouble. Chara hasn't stabbed anyone over her chocolate. Yet.

The duo came back in with empty baskets, and released everyone to go hunt outside. Undyne stormed outside first with Alphys hurrying behind her fiancé. Chara and Asriel were last, looking a bit dubious of the activity, but Chara soon joined in once she heard candy was inside them and Asriel would follow her anywhere. W. D. Gaster simply didn't come out at all.

The egg hunt was fun, save for the eggs that somehow made their ways on the roof and into trees, courtesy of a certain half blooded vampire using her hovering power. Those stunts got Thrill' kicked back inside and not allowed to hide anymore eggs. Frisk was certain that she was relieved deep down, for she had seen small wafts of smoke coming from her body due to the sun and her fingers beginning to dust.

They made fun with this for hours, until it was exactly noontime. Mettaton's party wasn't until the afternoon near night, but Papyrus made them all go inside anyways.

"WE DON'T WANT TO BE EVEN A SECOND LATE!" He said when people protested.

The next few hours were spent preparing. Frisk thought it went by in a blur. She had to shower, slip into a nice dress, fix her hair, and put on makeup. She also had to help Chara and Thrill', who were clueless when it came to these things. After a long, convincing talk, Chara was forced into a red dress and Thrill' still needed to be persuaded. It didn't help that she was whining about it the entire time Frisk was talking to Thrill' and tugging on the single strap on her shoulder holding the dress up.

"This does not bring out my eyes!" Chara moaned and interrupted Frisk yet again.

"It does too!" The human snapped suddenly and glared at the seething demon, "Please, just be quiet for a few more minutes!"

After more debating, Thrill' finally put on the stupid dress. That took forever. Frisk searched through her closet for some matching shoes, gave them to the duo, and then hurried downstairs to greet the others waiting by the door.

Papyrus and Sans were wearing orange and blue flannels respectively, and khakis. Undyne and Alphys had on the same clothes the day Alphys had confessed to her fiancé, and Asriel had on a button up. Gaster had decided he was not going, much to Papyrus' dismay, but he soon accepted it.

"LET'S GO!" The tall skeleton exclaimed, and bolted through the door and started the car before Frisk could even set foot outside.

Everyone followed suit, and Frisk waved bye at Gaster, who had Flowey in one of his hands. He waved back and said, "Good-bye."

"Get out!" Was Flowey's version of a farewell.

Smiling at her flower, Frisk walked hurriedly over to the car where a seat in the front beside Papyrus, who was driving, waited for her arrival. The moment Frisk was buckled up Papyrus began driving quickly over to Mettaton's home. Everyone looked eager to go, except for Chara, who was whispering obscenities underneath her breath. Frisk could have sworn she caught a few things said about herself.

Only a few cars were pulled up to Mettaton's home when they got there. They poured out like water from a faucet, Undyne running up the sidewalk with Alphys following behind hurriedly. It was hard to stifle giggles when Frisk watched Thrill' stumble in her silver heels, that matched her midnight blue dress accented by silver nicely. Chara was lucky to wear normal black sandals, but still seemed to hate them.

She hates everything anyways.

Sans came up in front of the group and rang the doorbell, which was immediately answered by the fabulous robot himself.

"Hello beauties and gentle-beauties!" He gave a flirtatious smile as Napstablook peered over his shoulder. "Welcome! Please, come in my darlings."

Frisk noticed a few monsters off the bat. Muffet was there, inspecting the food, and Grillby was standing in the corner and scanning the group who just came in. Sans noticed his crush as well and hurriedly walked off to who knows where before the fire elemental could notice him. Frisk grimaced after him, and then disappeared into the building crowd with the others. Chara also retreated into the corner, where Asriel scuttled up to her, and TK was trying to see how far she could float up without people being able to see up her dress.

A few hours later, the place had completely filled. Apparently being around so many people at once makes Thrill' engage in weird poltergeist-like behavior; she was currently spinning around in mid-air with her dress twirling and a lamp that was thrown by her crashing against the ceiling. And somehow, she managed to spike the punch...

Mettaton had began singing, too, with Napstablook and Shyren on a table he placed in his living room. People were mostly congregated there, except for Sans, Chara, and Asriel. Sans was still avoiding Grillby as much as possible and Chara was still in the corner with Asriel in the kitchen. Frisk barely heard the lyrics to Mettaton's song as she scanned the home for a certain tall skeleton.

When she was in the kitchen, back towards her two friends, someone grabbed her from behind and she yelped and jumped to face them. It was Papyrus.

She thumped him on the arm, yelping, "I thought I said no!"

"MY APOLIGIES, HUMAN," he said politely and smiled. "I DIDN'T MEAN TO SCARE YOU!"

Over his shoulder Frisk could see Thrill', who was now tugging on Chara's single dress strap to get her to go near other people. The half vampire's maroon eyes had a glazed look to them and Frisk saw a glass of punch mixed with most likely vodka in her other hand. Suddenly, she stumbled forwards in the air and her face landed on Chara's chest. The demon pulled her off disgustedly and coaxed a giggle out of Thrill', who now regained her footing and was motioning something sillily.

"It's alright, Papy," Frisk tore her eyes away and finally replied.

Thrill' had now managed to land her hands on Chara's hips, and she had her face near hers. Chara was leaning away with red ringing her face and Asriel stood by looking mortified.

"CAN YOU... CAN YOU FOLLOW ME?" Papyrus asked shyly, which was unlike him.

Asriel now pried TK off of their friend and she floated up lazily, giggling slurred, "Pffahahaha..."

"Alright," Frisk complied, taking his hand and letting him lead her out to Mettaton's back porch.

Nobody was there. The moon shined above them, like a watchful eye, and Papyrus said in an uncharacteristically quiet voice, "There was a lot of people in there." He leaned against the wood railing and Frisk felt her heart skip a beat.

"Y-Yeah," she agreed, and Papyrus leaned towards her.

He smiled, "Happy Easter."

"Happy Easter," a small, bashful laugh escaped the girl.

"I am sorry I couldn't give a present," her boyfriend apologized, "and that it felt like we were in a rush."

"You're fine. I'm fine."

Papyrus now had her hand held in his. When did it get there?

The tall skeleton shook his head and he relied, "No, it isn't. HOWEVER!" He said loudly and then quieted down again, "I have another gift for you!" A small orange glimmer went through one of his eyes at the last statement, and he looked like he could burst with excitement.

"Yeah? What is it?"

One of his skeletal and un-gloved hands dropped Frisk's and went to his pocket. Frisk raised an eyebrow as he brought out an Easter egg.

"Open it," he let go of her other hand now and placed it carefully in one of their palms, then closing both of her hands around it.

Frisk waited until both if his arms were hanging limply at his sides. She then unfurled her fingers and held the egg up to her face.

It was orange.

Not bothering to shake it, she popped the plastic and took off the top.

And sitting there...

In a pillow of soft, pale sunset colored fabric...

Was a silver banded, diamond ring.

Shock rang through at first. Was really what she thought it was? Frisk nearly dropped the egg her hands were shaking so bad.

She looked up at Papyrus.

The skeleton rubbed the back of his head sheepishly and his voice came out in a lower baritone than usual.

"W... Will you... Eh... Marry... Me...?"

Frisk snapped the egg shut and threw her arms around his lanky neck.

"Oh, Papyrus, of course, I love you, I-"

"I LOVE YOU TOO, HUMAN! NYEH HEH HEH!"

That laugh, that familiar laugh, and the feeling of bones pressing against her chest and face, made Frisk nearly burst out into tears.

Papyrus was the one to break the hug.

"HAPPY EASTER!"

"Happy Easter, Pap."

And she stood up on her tippy toes to kiss him deeply.
