Loner could be used to describe him, long thin coat flicking behind himself as he walked the trail. People in the village kept claiming the place was haunted. As an exorcist it was his job to guide spirits to their slumber so when he was presented with this rumor he had to see if it was true. He HAD to take the chance to see what was going on. That had been his first mistake of course. His second mistake had been wearing a long coat. He'd gotten tangled on a tree root and plummeted into the mountain.

Coming to he raised one hand checking his tools were Ok.

"...Stupid tree root…. Stupid mountain..."

he'd brush himself off hands going in his pockets headphones pulled on his player turning on. Was no way he was going to miss this chance though to explore. Maybe put some of those twits on the council in their places. Blue eyes looked at the cavern wall following it quietly before he'd spot the flower sitting there innocently. The odd energy he sensed coming from it though had him disturbed before it's voice did.

"Howdy! I'm Flowey, Flowey the flower!" Said The Flower making the young man look down at him curiously.

"And I'm leaving in a real hurry.."

He wasn't about to stick around and waste time with a flower when it spoke once more. "You've got no idea where to go do you?"

It made him pause before he'd turn leaning down to look at it. "and I suppose you'd be gracious enough to guide me?"

"Ahh I'm only a flower buddy I can't leave the ground.."

"Well isn't that a shame?" Complete sarcasm on his part though the look on the flower's face screamed lonely. A sigh coming before he'd flip his satchel open. He had to have something in it that would work.

"Book...Book...Pen...Notebook..." A raise of one brow coming before he'd frown bringing out a large jar eyeing the flower. It could work for a while till he found something better. A sigh coming before he'd crouch down starting to fill the jar.

"This'll have to do I guess, At least you'll be able to be carried… Just don't go snooping in my books.."

Reaching out with surprising gentleness he scooped up the flower settling it neatly in the large jar watching the roots sink into the soil.

"Thank you!" Came the cheerful speech of the flower as the human sighed standing up starting to walk the flower tucked neatly in his Satchel hanging from the top. A small smirk coming as he eyed the path in front of him. "So this place, what's it called?"

"What's it called? Home?" Said the Flower uncertainly tilting it's head.

"...Right home it is, of course it would be.." Again the sarcasm practically dripped from his voice before he'd sigh taking out a cigarette lighting it blue eyes looking side to side before he'd continue going. Maybe he could find something useful further in.. At this point he mused anything would be good.

"Christ of all the damn things to come across, Can you at least tell me where the damn cold air is coming from?" Asked the young man exhaling smoke from his cigarette.

"The cold air? It's coming from the door, the door out of the ruins."Said Flowey making a face.

"And when were you gonna tell me about that?" Asked the young man sighing slightly his head shaking.

"Well when you asked of course, the door out is this way..Though it might be occupied by the Skeleton.. he sometimes comes to make knock knock jokes..." Said Flowey as the young man walked forwards his hand extending when he heard something knock on the door. A blink would come before he heard the softest voice come.

"Knock knock..."

His heart pounded suddenly his head tilting as he leaned against the door. "Who, who's there?"

"Huh? Whoa someone actually answered? Um Dishes.."

"Dishes who?"

"Dishes a bad joke.."

A chuckle would come from the young man before he leaned against the door. "Knock knock.."

A few seconds would pass before that soft voice would come again. "Who's there?"

"Speakup.."

A snicker would come from behind the door "Speakup who?"

"Heh speak up you.." The young man said before one hand raised resting against the door.

"Heh heh heh..." A chuckle would come from the other side of the door an orange hoodie clad Skeleton leaning his Cranium against the door.

"That was pretty good, What's your name human?"

"Ryven… And you?" Said Ryven his body sliding down the door so he was literally back to back with the Skeleton.

"Papyrus, You got a light Ry?" Asked Papyrus a Cigarette dangling from his teeth.

"Yea, here just slide it under when your done.." Ryven slid a black lighter under the door hearing the click of it then the feel of the familiar lighter in his fingers once more.

"Got a flower here who talks, you know anything about him Paps?" Asked Ryven before lighting his own cigarette listening curiously.

"Mmhmm he's fine it's the Temmie you need to look out for, I bet he's the lost one we've been hearing about from the Village.." Said Papyrus his Phalanges tapping against the door softly.

"Temmie? Sounds like a bad name a kid would come up with.." Said Ryven shaking his head.

"Heh I suppose it would to someone like you, your from the surface right? How's the weather up there?" Said Papyrus before standing up brushing himself off.

"It's too damn bright actually… I like it kinda rainy..good for reading a book or watching some TV." Said Ryven before standing his Cigarette tossed down one booted foot coming down grinding the lit part out.

"Heh, Laying on the couch and being lazy?" Said Papyrus a smirk coming from Ryven.

"….Where the hell have you been all my life?" Said Ryven before he'd raise one hand leaning into the door.

"This thing ever open?" Said Ryven fumbling for a door knob.

"It does once in a while, why? You lookin to come through?" Said Papyrus taking a step away from the door his eyes lighting up orange.

"Whoa what did you just do Paps?" Said Ryven sliding back from the door his eyes narrowed.

"Hang on Ry… I've just gotta ask, what are you here for?" Said Papyrus one hand raising orange light flickering around it.

"..there's a spirit that's been luring people to the mountain, I came to check it out under the request of..The village Elder...who.. God damn it.." A sigh would come before Ryven chuckled softly.

"Who what?" Asked Papyrus looking amused.

"Who sent me here without a god damn rope..." Ryven sighed slightly before the door slid open glowing orange.

Ryven blinked before stepping out through the door eyes widening as he set eyes on Papyrus for the first time.

"Huh not bad for a human, your kinda cute you know that?" One hand extended as Papyrus smirked slightly.

"Huh a Skeleton? Not bad lookin either… You come here often?" Said Ryven taking the orange clad Skeleton's hand in his own.

"Once or twice here and there..."

"Sure handsome I bet you come here every night, Well I guess the old legend is true.. That means the old fart was right.." Said Ryven sighing slightly. "That means that this isn't a haunting at all.."

"I wouldn't say that, Someone is haunted though I'll wager. A little kid showed up from the ruins same as you.. Except she was less friendly and more murdery.." Said Papyrus watching Ryven closely as he dug in his Satchel before the flower spoke up. "Ouch human Stop what do you need? I'll get it for you.."

"My god damn notebook and my pencil..." Said Ryven his hand dangling, as the notebook was pushed in it a few seconds later the pencil following suit.

Ryven stood still a few more minutes looking through his notebook before looking up. "Hey Paps anything weird about how the kid looked? You know besides murdery?"

"Is it normal for a human's eyes to be red?" Asked Papyrus before Ryven folded his arms thinking once more.

"I don't think so...Wait was the hair white?" Asked Ryven flipping through his book pausing on a page looking up to Papyrus who shook his head.

"Nope, brown I believe.." Said Papyrus making Ryven snort.

"Well fuck, you've got a possession..Poor kid makes me wonder if their even alive or if their dead.." Said Ryven shaking his head.

"That's bad right? I'm not sure if possession is such a bad thing if it gives them that kind of power.." Said Papyrus scratching the back of his head.

"Of course it is, imagine being stuck in your own body wanting desperately to wake up out of the nightmare your trapped in..Seeing every action your body takes, but not being able to do anything about it..." Said Ryven his notebook shutting with a click before he held it down to the flower who put it back in his Satchel along with the pencil.

"Thanks Flowey.." Said Ryven before one hand reached out to grip Papyrus's hoodie. "You've gotta take me to this kid! I can help them, I can end the little spree of death this kid has been driven on.." Continued Ryven.

"Why should we trust you?" Asked Papyrus a lazy look on his face though Ryven could tell the energy that burned in the Skeleton's eyes wasn't an illusion.

"Cause I can exorcise the damn thing from the kid, I can release souls and Just trust me it's complicated to explain!" Said Ryven scowling his head turning to the side.

Papyrus was silent his eyes searching Ryven's eyes for any lies all he found was sincerity a sigh coming before Papyrus held out one hand. "This way I know a short cut.."

"Sure, the sooner we get to that kid the sooner we can end this hell for you guys.." Said Ryven taking the Skeletal hand in his own his fingers moving just a touch. It felt odd but as the two suddenly shot forwards Ryven found himself Gripping the skeleton's hoodie once more.

"Sweet Christ Paps what the hell was that?!" Asked Ryven as they came to a halt on the edge of a Lava pit.

"...Is that Lava..." Said Ryven looking down his brow raising.

"Ahh yup, welcome to Hotland Ry.." Said Papyrus taking out a cigarette finally finding his lighter it seemed lighting it letting it hang between his teeth.

"Heh who would have known, snow and extreme heat in a mountain.." Said Ryven taking out his own smoke leaning to press the end of it against Papyrus's Cigarette standing next to him looking out with amusement.

"Heh… Turkey fucker..." Said Papyrus making Ryven smirk slightly before shrugging.

"Eh of course, couldn't find my lighter.. I'll find it later.."

"Ahh huh, next time just ask for a light Ry..." Said Papyrus making Ryven's smirk become more pronounced as he tilted his head.

"Why so I can owe you seven years of my sex life?"

Papyrus went orange before taking a long drag off his cigarette saying nothing. Ryven on the other hand chuckled softly before leaning forwards studying something in the distance. " Remind me to read a passage for those poor bastards.." Said Ryven before he'd start walking forwards his head tipping down as his headphones went up in place.

"...Hey Paps if I get in over my head with this little brat, promise me something.. You'll come take my soul and give them a spanking they'll never forget.." Said Ryven his mouth curving in a smirk before he'd turn breaking into a rather fast run for a human.

He had to catch up with this human, he had to end this crap that was going on. These poor monsters being turned to was that dust? He'd slide to a stop one hand lowering to brush through the dust eyes narrowed. "Christ… what a way to go.."

Flowey poked his petals out of the Satchel looking down at the dust before making a sad face. "That's what happens when we die, we fall down and then we do that.."

"What like a coma?" Asked Ryven straightening up looking forwards.

"Yes I think, I'm sure it's the same.." Said Flowey before looking around. Turning his head Flowey let out a squeak of fear before Ryven turned leaping forwards seeing the dagger that had been aimed for his back. Twisting he'd slide to face the person his eyes narrowed.

"Only a kid would have such crappy morals.. Well, it's time for a time out.." Said Ryven his head tipping back as he activated his mystic energy.

The soul felt that energy burning in the opposing soul. So strong, so hot like fire. It's darkness was being pushed back as the other human chanted one hand moving orange flare of magic coming from his hand.

"Return to the darkness, as the Darkness shall call for thee, return hence ye came!" A strange glowing symbol being drawn in the air as Ryven released his spell. The human struck by the center of his runic symbols screamed as a sick swirl of darkness was ejected from them. Red eyes formed in the darkness as Ryven crouched long enough to slap a long strip of paper with symbols on it against the fallen human's face a protective white light forming around them before Ryven stood.

"Well shit you're still here huh? Yea thought so, your the one that's been luring humans here aren't ya?" Said Ryven taking a step forwards one hand raising orange magic forming around it.

"What say I put you on a permanent bed time kiddo?" Said Ryven before he'd shoot forwards as the darkness roiled around as if seeking something to possess.

Harnessing his energy when he was younger used to take forever, but now Ryven was able to do it quickly one hand raising fingers bent slightly. "Form!" A glowing orange barrier of energy formed around the dark soul as Ryven landed his arm moving to the side. "Trap!" The barrier grew solid less transparent to the on looking eyes of the child laying on the ground. A snap of the fingers coming as Ryven spoke once more. "Burn.."

The Barrier burst into white purifying flames making the darkness screech clawing at it before the last to go were the red eyes. Ryven stood quietly cigarette hanging from his mouth before he'd sigh spitting the butt off to the side grinding it under one booted foot walking to pick up the kid. Taking the strip off their face he'd hug them patting their back.

"Shhh kid the nightmare is over now, wipe those tears away now.." Said Ryven before he heard someone clapping loudly. Turning the child held protectively Ryven relaxed seeing the lazy looking skeleton known as Papyrus.

"Hey Ry long day at the office?" Said Papyrus as he walked forwards tendrils of orange forming around one of his hands.

"Something like that, you gonna attack the kid then is that it?" Asked Ryven raising one brow.

"Naw ain't their fault their a dirty brother killer is it?" Said Papyrus his head tilting one eye glowing brightly.

"Listen Paps the kid was possessed, I destroyed the bad spirit myself. Ain't nothing left but the original soul now and?" Ryven blinked at the orange glowing eye in front of him before he felt himself being wrapped in an aura of orange magic being lifted away from the kid.

"they need to be judged Ry, don't try and stop me alright?" Said Papyrus as the child's soul floated out so did Ryven's due to the close range. The world went black and white making Ryven's eyes widen. So this was how fighting was down here.

"Paps I'm caught in the cross fire here.." Ryven said before he felt that aura of orange wrap around him again shifting him to behind Papyrus setting him down gently. "You ain't in the cross fire now Ry stay that way ok?" Said Papyrus walking over to the kid who stared up at him.

"Papyrus what do you mean by being judged?" Said Ryven as Papyrus eyed the kid reaching down to pat their head gently.

"So it was that other soul wasn't it? You could always reset you know. Start fresh bring them all back.." Said Papyrus as the child nodded. Ryven raised one brow at the panels that appeared in front of them.

"If I do this, you won't know one another.. Is that ok?" Asked the child looking to Papyrus who shrugged.

"If we're meant to meet we'll meet.. I want my brother back kid, I want his friends back too.." Said Papyrus before the child nodded pushing the button marked Reset.

It was a blur of different colors shooting past as Ryven reached out disoriented catching something orange for a second before it too vanished. There he stood alone in the ruins with Flowey in his Satchel once more.

"...What the fuck just happened?" Ryven asked looking mildly disturbed. Opening his hand he noticed a single black lighter.

"...Huh so that's what it was..." Said Ryven before making his way to the door leading out of the ruins. He'd push and strain against it with all his might before sliding down the door.

Thats when he heard the knock against the door his head tipping. "...Who's there?" Asked Ryven purely out of instinct.

"Dishes..." Came the soft quiet voice back.

"Dishes who?" Said Ryven his hand resting against the door.

"Dishes were you and I met wasn't it?" Said the voice back.

Ryven blinked turning to face the door his hands resting on it. "Paps? Is that you?"

"Ry? You always steal a guy's lighter on a reset?" Asked the quiet voice a hint of amusement to the tone.

"Nah only ones that interest me.."Said Ryven his head resting against the door.

"Heh suppose you want out huh?" Said Papyrus his eye glowing orange.

"I was thinkin it'd be nice to be able to explore now and again.." Said Ryven before a smirk would come as he felt the lighter jerk in his hand.

"Gimmie my lighter an I'll think about it.." Said Papyrus a smile coming.

"Sure soon as you open the door, so I can give it back personally.." Said Ryven his eyes sinking half closed.

Ryven's soul fluttered before he'd back up from the door feeling it tremble. It seemed to be hours for him of watching the door glow orange before it would creak open slightly. In reality it was only minutes before it opened fully. One hand outstretched as Ryven walked out of the ruins the black lighter presented to it's owner who seemed to smirk.

"Thanks Ry, fancy meeting you here..You come here often?" Asked Papyrus before Ryven smirked shrugging.

"Only every Reset I guess..." Said Ryven before Papyrus chuckled taking his hand giving a pull.

"Come on Ry, I've got a nice warm house with a good couch begging to be used.." Said Papyrus his hood going up as Ryven chuckled softly.

"What about this little guy? Doesn't he belong somewhere?" Asked Ryven tapping Flowey's jar.

"Nah just put him down he'll go home on his own.." Said Papyrus as Flowey nodded.

Putting the Jar down Ryven watched as Flowey vanished into the dirt leaning to empty his jar of dirt as Papyrus raised one brow.

"Is that a honey jar?" Said Papyrus amusedly.

"Yea? So? I like honey big deal.." Said Ryven one brow raising before he felt Papyrus take his hand once more.

"Come on little human, your not getting out that way. The only way home is forwards." Said Papyrus as Ryven rolled his eyes his lips parting.

"Oh heavens I might not wanna go forwards if we go to your house.. I might get caught up in some kind of relationship issues.." Said Ryven before Papyrus chuckled walking forwards bringing Ryven with him.

"Only if you wanna be sweet-heart.." Said Papyrus making Ryven raise one brow in question again.

Of course it had to be the cold they were walking through, Ryven's breath making puffs in the air as he walked a sigh coming. Most loved cold, he hated it with a passion. His jacket buttoned up fully his arm tucked in his pocket the other held by Papyrus before he felt the skeleton's hand holding his be drawn into the hoodie pocket. This meant of course that Ryven's hand was in that pocket as well now making him smirk a bit in amusement as they walked.

"I gotta warn you my little brother is really friendly. He might try to fight you seeing as your a human though I gotta say don't attack him back ok?" Said Papyrus pausing shifting pinning Ryven against the tree his right eye glowing orange.

"Or else I'm gonna have a great time, you on the other hand might not.." Said Papyrus as Ryven stared at that glowing orange eye his head turning to the side cheeks going red.

"Eh… I'm not gonna attack the innocent.. I'm an exorcist.. Not a brute.." Said Ryven feeling one hand rest on his chest making him face Papyrus again his cheeks heating up more.

"Good, then we won't have an issue will we Sweet-heart?" Asked Papyrus instantly shifting his personality back to the warm good natured look. For a moment Ryven said nothing being pulled behind the orange clad skeleton before a smaller skeleton in blue would come running towards them.

"BROTHER! Where have you been? Oh! You found a human!"

Ryven looked down hearing that voice then couldn't help it. The aura that came from that little Skeleton was like cotton candy to him. Sugary, sweet, and completely innocent.

"Oh god...Paps I'm not gonna hurt him, but dear god I just wanna pick him up and hug him to death.." Said Ryven making Papyrus snicker as Ryven bent then picked up the small Skeleton who at first squawked and kicked waving his arms in indignation. Ryven held firm though letting the small one rant and rave before hesitantly the arms would curl around his neck.

"Dear god he's too damn cute Paps… No wonder you were so anxious.." Said Ryven cuddling the little one who he learned was Sans.

Both arms around his neck his left arm around the small Skeleton who chattered asking who he was how he'd gotten that far and if he'd enjoyed the puzzles. Ryven raised one brow looking at Papyrus who just smirked amused as Ryven chattered back to Sans quietly.

By the time they'd reached Snowdin though Ryven was colder looking his cheeks red breath puffs of white in the air. Sans sat down first one hand caught by the blue Skeleton the other caught by the orange skeleton. Ryven raised one brow looking between the two of them his head tilting. "I'm not gonna get out of this house any time soon am I?"

Both brothers grinned before Papyrus shook his head. "Nope, your caught buddy..Sides where would you go?"

"Good point, I'll stay for a while I guess.." Said Ryven as Sans opened the door pushing him in with surprising strength.

"hey whoa easy Sans!" Said Ryven as he was pushed in towards a beat up looking couch.

"Wait my boots, I don't wanna get snow all over.." Said Ryven as he started unbuckling one boot toeing it off.

A chuckle would come from Papyrus as Ryven was pulled to the couch his jacket clinging to him wetly.

"Damn I bet my wards are all wet too.." Ryven said as he reached into his pocket, scowling at the ruined papers sighing.

"Damn and this stuff is expensive too.." A shake of the head coming before he dropped the paper onto the couch next to him.

"Oh no, did it get ruined Ryven?" Came the childish innocent question that just made Ryven want to melt at how sweet it was.

"I'm sure it'll dry or something Sans, I'm not worried about it neither should you be. They just need a chance to dry is all.." Said Ryven patting that small Cranium like one would a child's head.

"..Ryven? What's a Damn?" Said Sans looking curiously at the tall dark haired young man who raised one brow looking to Papyrus who was smirking once more.

"Yea Ryven what's a Damn?" Came the amused question one eye already starting to glow orange.

"….Um, it's a..Well it's a word someone as cute as you should never use Sansy-berry.." Said Ryven as Papyrus snorted heading into the kitchen.

"Sansy-berry? My name is Sans, just Sans!" Came the indignant sounding voice as Sans pouted his arms folding as Ryven just smiled his head tilting.

Ryven sat watching the blur of energy that was Sans wander around doing something in the kitchen. Checking his wards once more Ryven sighed slightly flicking through them slowly. All ruined the ink on them running all over. What ever symbols were drawn in them were useless now to him.

"….Ruined… I'll have to make new ones.." He'd frown reaching into his Satchel for his remaining wards before shaking his head. Not possible to work without them of course. He'd have to make new ones when he had the chance but for right now, he'd have to admit this was a pretty comfy couch. Peeling his wet jacket off he'd shiver hanging it over a couch arm to dry in the open air he'd blink at the field of orange in front of his eyes one hand raising to pull down the orange thing.

"You looked cold, it's one of mine but you can use it.." Said Papyrus sitting down next to Ryven ash tray in one hand Cigarette in the other. Ryven raised one brow slipping on the warm hoodie sinking into the couch putting up the hood his headphones lighting up as he sighed putting on his tunes.

"There's a lot of Ambient energy around here isn't there?" Asked Ryven making Papyrus raise his head.

"Oh? Yup whole place is run off magical energy actually.. Why? You curious about it Ry?" Asked Papyrus leaning closer to Ryven who turned his head to the side questioningly shrugging.

"Nah, well maybe… a little bit why.. gonna give me a science to magic lesson Paps?" Said Ryven before Papyrus chuckled slightly.

"Nah Ry someone like you really doesn't need it do they?" Said Papyrus before tipping what looked to be a honey bottle towards his mouth. Ryven eyed the bottle his eyes narrowing. Honey, real honey, so sweet and pure right there. His head tilted as he leaned towards Papyrus his hands gripping the bottle the other had. Papyrus blinked watching this curiously eyes glowing slightly before Ryven licked the tip of the bottle his eyes closing as he savored the sweet flavor.

"God damn Ry, what the hell was that?" Said Papyrus making Ryven open his eyes cheeks heating up as he blinked at the skeleton.

"Um… Good honey?" Said Ryven before turning his head to the side his hand coming up to rest on his chin.

"Heh, I forgot you like honey too don't you?" Papyrus chuckled before tipping the bottle his eyes closing.

Ryven watched as the honey slid into that mouth saw the swipe of something orange over the tip of the bottle then raised one brow at the bottle sliding away.

One glowing orange eye opened a smirk coming from the Skeleton before Ryven snorted.

"You always tease guests.."

"Nope just the ones who need it cause their so cute."

"...Did you just call me cute?"

"Yup, what are you gonna do about it cutie?"

Ryven narrowed his eyes at the challenge in those words before his body would move towards Papyrus who watched curiously. His heart thumped against his chest as he leaned closer to Papyrus the smirk on that face becoming bigger as Ryven let his eyes slide closed.

When those warm lips pressed against his teeth Papyrus suddenly found honey was put to shame by the sweetness of those lips. Arms curling around Papyrus's neck as Ryven found a spot of honey on that lower Mandible tongue darting out to lick it clean. A growl coming from the human his hands resting on those bone cheeks a shuddery gasp coming before one arm wrapped around his waist.

"Damn cutie, put that tongue away yea? Save it for the bed room.." Came the slow lazy drawl from Papyrus.

Ryven blinked then choked his hands sliding to rest on Papyrus's shoulder bones. "I didn't… I'm sorry I don't know what got into me.."

Papyrus chuckled softly before letting one hand slide wrapping around that neck putting his weight forwards letting Ryven drop to the couch eyes half closed. "I know what got into you, You feel it too right? This need to be closer, the need to feel something you just don't know what.. The feeling of being nearly complete, like what your waiting for is right there in front of you.." Said Papyrus his normally calm voice slightly lower.

"...I've always felt it, made dating normal people hell.. always wanting something but not knowing what. I suppose, your going to tell me you know what it is?" Said Ryven his voice sinking to a whisper.

"Maybe I am or maybe you should simply learn to listen to your soul.." Said Papyrus leaning closer as Ryven started to tremble slightly.

"Paps I don't wanna hurt you, shouldn't get involved.." Said Ryven trailing off when he felt those teeth press against his lips. A rush came over him then his hands clenching in Papyrus's hoodie. He could feel his cheeks heating up his whole body seeming to tingle. It suddenly felt right, it suddenly felt like for a split second he was whole.

He'd stare into orange eyes his breathing quick his heartbeat wild, it was like being in love for the first time. One hand slid from that hoodie falling to the side head turning to the side as he breathed lips parted. His magic was going absolutely nuts sending up sparks of orange light here and there before he closed his eyes to calm himself.

"You felt it right? That rush.. That tingle." Said Papyrus a smirk coming before Ryven scowled slightly.

"Yes, I felt it..What the hell does it mean.." Said Ryven his eyes narrowing slightly.

"It means Sweet-heart you were meant for me.. Every little sound, every little kiss all mine.. You may not have known but your soul did.." Said Papyrus a smirk coming as one hand slid to rest on Ryven's chest. A soft warm orange glow coming before his soul fluttered forming above his chest. It flickered like a flame for a moment before glowing softly. A light orange heart rested above his chest making Ryven blink slightly staring at it.

"It matches mine you know, that soul? Your soul, a perfect match for mine.." Said Papyrus his head tilting as he'd back off sitting up once more a Cigarette lifted to his teeth lighter resting against the end of it flame coming. Ryven lay on the couch next to Papyrus his soul drifting over his chest. He felt exposed he felt vulnerable before his soul flickered going back into his chest.

"suppose I believed you, Suppose I felt it too, you still haven't told me what it means!" Said Ryven sitting up before he found himself slid with that orange magic into Papyrus's lap.

"Your a smart guy Ry, you'd have to be smart to survive wouldn't you? Can't you figure it out? Don't you have even a glimmer of a suspicion?" Said Papyrus his fingers skirting around Ryven's headphones that had slid down on his neck making him stare at Papyrus's face in silence.

Ryven was silent his hand moving to his satchel opening his notebook. Papyrus chuckled simply leaning back watching curiously as Ryven flicked through the book eyes moving back and forth reading the words mentally.

He'd written this one when he was younger, it held some of his most personal thoughts. His dreams his deepest hopes. Leaning back into Papyrus he scowled softly.

'I'd like to think there's someone out there for me, I wouldn't care what they looked like.. As long as they were for me.. A perfect match, someone who wouldn't be afraid of my magic. Someone who'd love me for who I am..'

Ryven glared at those words, before looking to Papyrus who smirked to him, before Ryven would go back to his reading.

'Someone who is my soul mate. I just, want someone.. Anyone… Notice me, see me for me..'

"...My soul mate..." Said Ryven before Papyrus clapped softly.

"I knew you could do it, You muse have been a very lonely kid writing that much." Said Papyrus his head tilting as he put his Cigarette out in the ashtray.

"I wasn't lonely for some reason..Writing just helped me to calm my mind by getting it out.." Said Ryven before feeling Papyrus's Mandible rest against his hair.

"I'm sorry I wasn't there for you, I wanted to be with every fiber of my soul.." Said Papyrus as Ryven sighed slightly.

"...What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, what doesn't make you stronger makes you smarter.." Said Ryven feeling one of Papyrus's arms curl around him.

"Was it worth the wait? To feel that perfect moment?" Asked Papyrus curiously his eyes closing.

"...I think so...I could be wrong though.. I don't wanna just have one perfect moment, I'm a human we're greedy little bastards..." Said Ryven his mouth curving in a grin eyes closing.
