"Well Red What story do you want to hear for bed?" A little red was tucked in his blanket while his mother came in to read him a bedtime story.
"I wanna hear the story of about the goddess mama!" His mother came and sat on his bed as she giggled.
"That one? I thought you would want to hear fluffy bunny instead. Since it's the one you always like to hear."
"Well I want to hear a new one! And...you never finished it when I said I didn't like it...so I wanna hear it again!" His mother smiled at her son warmly. Even if he did have an attitude, he did have a heart for others. She cleared her voice as she began.
"Once upon a time, there lived a goddess. This goddess lived by this massive tree,"
"Like the one near forest?!" Red said as he was excited. His mother nodded as her son's eagerness.
"Mmhm, this goddess could grant any wish for who was near that tree. The goddess was more than happy to grant other mortal's wishes. It warmed her heart every time. As the years passed the goddess felt empty, lonely. She wanted to have someone to talk to. One day a young woman made a wish under the giant tree. The goddess thought it was just another wish in a thousand years. Until the young woman wished that she'd one day meet a man that would love her and make her happy. The goddess was inspired by this, as she desired a loved one as well."
"Did she find one mama?" This was the part where red said he didn't like the story. At first he thought it was too mushy and just plain out dumb, but he started to take interest in the story.
"Well...not exactly. The goddess did fall in love, but the man she fell in love with didn't know she existed. The goddess watched the man she loved fall for another."
"That's just mean mama, that man just fell in love with another, while the goddess loved him!" His mother gave a sorrowful smile as her little son.
"Yes but people say, the goddess will find a lover. And she'll love once more." Red's mother looked out the window to the stars as her eyelights glisten.
"Then I'll love her! I'll be the goddess' lover! In fact, I'll marry her even!" Red mother looked at him in shock. She then laughed. Shen planted a skeleton kiss on little red's skull.
"Well that'll sound wonderful red. You may never know, she may be listening right now." Red's eyes beams at this.
"Really?! You think she might hear my proposal?!"
"Maybe...it's bedtime for you anyway. Good night my little red."
"Goodnight mama."
"Ugh!!!! ya' hafta' to be fuckin' kidding me!" The rain poured as red stood under the door way of the store. He forgot to bring an umbrella.
"Wish I brought my umbrella with me...unless I still have it." He reached into his back pack as he took out his own umbrella. Huh. He was sure he forgot it at home. Unless he brought it without knowing it. Weird. Lately this always happens to him. Ever since he was small he always had this kind of luck. Other monsters in his class thought he was a freak due to this. So he doesn't have any friends. But he enjoyed the loneliness that it became an ally towards him.
The number one place that was peaceful for him was the giant tree near the forest. He doesn't know but he feels comfort near that place. Of course that was where he was heading. He walked quietly in the rain. Water splashed in every puddle he stepped in. Even if he was under an umbrella, the shoulders of his black sweater as getting a bit soggy. Be continued to walk through the crowded sidewalk as the rain fell harder. Most people decided it was best to go inside, as the sidewalk began to clear away.
Red made his way up the hill where the big tree was. His shoes squeaked as the grass slid against the bottom of his shoe. When he reached the tree the grass was dry as the big leaves were sheltering him from the rain. He closed his umbrella as he sat there. His cheek bones had a flush of red from the cold. He tried to warm himself up as he pressed his warm phalanges up against his cheekbones.
It felt weird but comforting as the warmth of his skeleton hand rubbed against his skull.
He remembers how his mother used to warm him. She'd pull him close, wrapped her slender but warm arms around him. Swaying them back and forth. She'd always do this to make him fall asleep. Even now, if she was here, she still could. But she's gone. She was murder by a human after red came home from school, he was 9 at the time. His father, Gaster was at work to even know what happened. He still remembers how he stared at her dust in horror, her blood splattered all over the cabinets and floors of the kitchen. There lied a bat, covered in her blood and dust. The crimson color made him hurl and become sickened to the color that he couldn't bare it.
He wakes up as the rain stopped. It was already night? How long has he been asleep? He got up as the still dry grass swayed. He began to walk steadily down the hill as the grass was wet as he walked. He began to rush home to his big house. Ever since he graduated from college, his father began to spoil him as to make up for never being in most of his life. Gaster was the one who payed his bills, food, everything. And if he died he'd give everything to red which would last him a lifetime. Red had no interest in having too much money. His father worked as a scientist. They were very wealthy, especially even now. Red only cared about family. He doesn't even remember what his father looked like. He just knew he existed. He used to ask his mother if his father loved him, since he was never there.
She would give the warmest smile. She'd bring him close, cradling him.
"Of course, my little red. He loves you more than anything. He sometimes wishes he could see you every day. But sadly he has work to keep us safe okay?"
"Yes mama."
He reached home as he unlocked the door to reveal as giant living room, with the finest furniture. The floor tiles shined as bright as it could. A crystal chandelier stood above it all. Red had no concern of marveling the room, he's seen this room as long as he can remember. It's normal for him. His threw off his wet dirty sneakers near the entrance. His slid to the stairs as his socks would slide against the slippery tiles.
The maids were cleaning the rooms as red walked passed them to his room. They greeted him as they looked to the floor.
"Welcome back, young master red."
Red grunted as he had no brother in talking. He never liked talking to people. Not ever since his mother died. Afterall she was the one to make him open up to others. He plopped down on his canopy bed. He stared at the top of his bed. He wondered when he would have the sweet wonderful release of death. As he was about to fall asleep, he felt the wind gusting into his room. He immediately sprang up in shock. He immediately regretted it as a big pile of rose petals shot in his face.
He threw the petals out of his face as he looked who caused this. He was about to curse until he was looked upon a skeleton. He was dressed in a white silk dress, a rose crown on his skull he had a silk veil. The veil had gold jewelry at it's out line. His dress flowed elegantly as the wind blew. He was absolutely breathtaking. As the skeleton looked at him, he smiled warmly.
"Hello red. My darling fiancé."
