Papyrus smiled as he flipped a pancake. They were surprisingly easy to make. The coffee maker was slowly dripping a pot and the smell of pancakes filled the kitchen. Softly Papyrus hummed Bonetrossle.
Red groaned rolling over his hand plopping on something hard, but he couldn't force his eyes to open to see what it was.
"Ow!" Comic whined and pushed back
Red groaned his bones heavy mumbling out a slurred "sorry bro."
"S'lright" Comic rumbled wrapping him close nuzzling him
Red hummed nuzzling under his chin. "Five more minutes."
"Sure thing" Comic said and began snoozing again smiling like a dope
Red nodded snoring again, drooled a little bit.
Little bit later Papyrus finished and went to get his lazy skeletons out of bed. "Rise and shine Sans."
Comic clung tighter to his counterpart they were so adorable together two little smol skeles
Papyrus cooed going over and giving them both clanks "i'll let you sleep a little longer."
Comic smiled "yer the best..."
Papyrus chuckled rubbing his skull "oh so you are awake you little trickster."
"Nope... I'm sleep takin'... See eyes closed" he said smiling
Papyrus chuckled smiling. "If you say so." Papyrus leaned down giving him another clank. "Rest up I'll come get you two in a little bit."
Comic smiled "thanks love you bro"
Papyrus smiled heading back down to the kitchen pouring himself a cup of coffee and enjoying the day
Comic cuddled to Red he was the perfect cuddle buddy...
Red nuzzled into Comic's ribs clinging to him slightly and murmuring in his sleep.
Comic pet him smiling gently he clanked the top of his skull
Red gave a small sigh nuzzling more into Comic. Wiggling comfortably.
Comic made a happy noise "I could stay with you forever. you're so cute" he said
Red mumbled still asleep "no, 'm edgy ya marsh..mellow."
"You are my toasty marshmallow."
Red mumbled something before his stomach made a gurgle.
Comic chuckled "I think you need to eat" he said
Red grumbled poking Comic "stop movin"
"Nah it's time to get up and go eat" he said sitting up and rubbing his skull
Red whined clinging to Comic's waist. "noooooo sleep."
"Sleep after... Let's eat before I gotta go to work..." He said
Red was instantly awake "w-work..." rolling over Red got up frowning. of course his double wouldn't stay with him. he was too much of a wimp and Comic knew that. nodding Red mumbled "yeah of course. well come on. you gotta eat so you can go."
Comic frowned "hey... Are you okay?" He said and took his hand "I can take off if you wanna work on the lab now... Or I was gonna let you rest if you're still tired... You can even go to work with me if you want... I don't want to leave you if that's not what you want" he said
Red frowned shaking his head "nah you gotta work. i'll be fine. i don't want to take up your time."
"Heh I mostly sleep and collect paychecks anyway I don't mind" he said
Red shook his head "i-it's fine. i haven't had much rest this week anyway. i-i can just stay here and bum on your couch. it's fine."
Comic frowned and nuzzled him "I'll give you a phone and you promise to call me if you need anything understand?"
Red blushed shying away from the sudden kindness. "o-okay. promise."
Comic smiled "now let's get downstairs and surprise Pap."
Red nodded tugging on the bottom of his borrowed shirt.
Comic held his hand and lead him out going down stairs quiet as possible Pap would never suspect he'd get up on his own!
Red seeing Comic's intense concentration at creeping quietly to the kitchen he stifled a snicker.
Papyrus was sipping his coffee flipping through his cookbook for suppers meal and lightly humming bonetrossle.
Comic snuck up behind him "boo!"
Papyrus jolted collapsing to his knees with a startled shaky shout. His coffee slashed on him, the counter, and the floor. Panting slight Papyrus gave a small whine holding his clutched empty cup close.
Red covered his face shocked and embarrassed at the scene "you okay pap?"
Papyrus whined "I-i didn't like that."
Comic chuckled "I got you though" he said before hugging him "are you okay?" He asked
Papyrus frowned looking at the warm coffee on him blantly stating "I'm wet."
"We can fix that" he said and helped him up
Papyrus got up his legs shaking slightly. "I can do it. You clean up the mess you made me cause and eat. Pancakes are in the oven to stay warm. I'm going to clean up." Papyrus frowned tugging lightly at his wet battle body. It seems he will be wearing something else today. Seemed like a khakis and a hoodie day.
Comic nodded "okay will do" he said and watched him go "guess I'm buying apology cinnamon bunnies today."
Red nodded "yeah kind of scared me when he... Sank to the floor. Good thing coffee wasn't too hot could have burned himself."
Comic nodded "ah why must my jokes be a bust..."
Red chuckled patting his shoulder "eh not as bad as the one that got me here. At least pap doesn't look mad."
"Yeah he's just upset I soiled his battle body he loves that thing."
Red nodded in understanding
Papyrus could be heard coming down the stairs. When he appeared he was dressed in his red boots, a navy blue set of khakis that went just past his knees, and a matching red hoodie. The hoodie hung a little loose on his skeletal frame. "You haven't started eating Sans. You haven't cleaned up the mess either. What am I going to do with you!" Papyrus huffed going and cleaning the mess.
"Its because you move too fast bro!" Comic whined
Red chuckled "you didn't move at all."
Comic stuck his tongue at him "quiet you" he said
Red stuck his tongue out right back at him. "You quiet."
Comic stuck his tongue out more "nowww."
Red chuckled making his grow longer and flicked at the other "heh you can't compare to me. Now shut it."
Comic gasped "blasphemy Pap he's being mean" he whined bapping at his brother's side
Papyrus chuckled turning around his tongue split into two. One was wiggling out his nose cavity and the other poked the edge of his socket. "Do brother get with the times. Your tongue just isn't up to par. Nyehehe."
"Ahhhh!" He said and pretended to faint from fright "ah! You really rattled my bones!"
Red gave a high pitched giggled at the scene instantly slapping a hand over his mouth to stifle them.
Papyrus chuckled grinning.
Comic laughed and pulled himself into a chair "so what's for breakfast?" He asked
Papyrus chuckled turning and getting out the pancakes and placing them on the table with drinks and syrup. "Pancakes."
Red looked at them tilting his head "huh. I always thought they would be more cake like."
"Nope cake you make in a frying pan" Comic said and began eating happily
Red nodded though still wasn't sure he knew the difference. eating the pancakes though he moaned slightly. mouth full he asked "how does everything taste so good."
Papyrus chuckled "it must be my excellent cooking skills!"
Comic nodded "yep must be" he said
Red nodded digging into the pancakes "boss is a shit cook. 'sides lasagna."
"Perhaps him and bro can do cooking lessons together" Comic said
Papyrus nodded excitedly "oh yes that sounds lovely. Also refrain from using such language Red."
Red blushed mumbling an apology. "I'm not sure if boss would agree to it, but it's a nice thought."
Comic chuckled and looked at the time "eh I'm late" he said and just kept eating
Red froze waiting. When Papyrus just gave a sigh and took a sip of his coffee Red tilted his head puzzled. Was there not going to be consequences for being late. Sure Papyrus didn't do any more than reprimand him for being late, but Undyne came close to dusting him once from giving him a good smack to the skull. He had never been late after that.
Comic finished his food "well gonna go punch some time cards wanna come Red?" He asked
Red jolted looking to the other "um. I wouldn't want to impose or distract you from… what do you do again?"
"I run two guard posts and a hot dog stand illegally" Comic said "get three times the legally required breaks"
Red nodded mumbling "not so different then."
"Yep gotta make that G" he said leaning back
Papyrus nodded placing a couple of pills in front of Red and going and grabbing his scarf "well you two decide on what you are going to do i have to go recalibrate my puzzles and train with Undyne. See you later. Love you. Try to have fun today." Papyrus gave them both clanks and headed for the door.
Red nodded downing the pills waving to Papyrus, but instantly missing him as he started to leave "bye Pap…. Love you."
Comic smiled "don't worry well see him later he stops by my station to make sure I don't get covered in snow" he promised
Red blinked "so you want me to come with you?" he left off the why.
"Sure if you want!" He said "you don't seem to be the lonely type" he said "and I like the company."
Red nodded chuckling "s-sure. I wouldn't want you getting bonely after all. Heh."
Comic chuckled "Alrighty let's go we can stop by Grillby's for lunch" he said getting his jacket on
Red's jacket was hanging there cleaned and ironed.
Red smiled feeling a warmth bubble inside of him reaching for his jacket blinking when it didn't come down. Huffing slightly Red stood on his tiptoes trying to wiggle his jacket down. Grumbling "come down."
Comic reached for it and pulled it off "here you go shorty" he said
Red huffed taking it and slipping it on reaching for his sneakers that had made it to the door at some point and tugging them on making sure to double knot them. "I'm not that much shorter than you. It-it was just really stuck. I loosened it for you."
"Yeah that's what happened cutiepie" he said going out into the cold with him.
Red blushed tugging his hood over his skull "w-whatever."
Comic chuckled and lead him to his station passing Grillby's.
Red stuck close to Comic. At a glance he looked like Sans's shadow following him. Red glanced at the bar seeing a orange flame walking around commenting "Yours is orange?"
"Yeah? What color is yours?" He asked
Red shrugged "purple? He claims it's something fancy but it Just looks purple ta me."
"Really? That sounds adorable" he said "Can he talk?" Comic asked
Red snorted "psh he never shuts up."
"Really? Huh pur Grillby can't much it hurts his throat"
Red frowned "poor guy. Wish mine would shut up all he does is complain. Yours probably just wants to woo that spider lady of his heh."
Comic chuckled "huh your Grillby doesn't like anyone?" He asked
Red shrugged "not that I know of. Though he teasingly hit on me far more times than I care to admit."
Comic chuckled "me and Grillbz flirt sometimes but he's like another brother to me" he said
Red chuckled giving him a small smile at that. "Must be a sweet flame."
"He is he helped care for me and Pap when we first came here" he said "I owe him our lives" he said
Red smiled. "Mine would watch pap when we were kids if I worked for him. Guess elementals aren't as big of dicks as they say. Though got to say I think yours is better."
"Maybe." he said chuckling
"So... How did last night go with him? I-i mean I'm not tryin' to pry! you just smelt of al-alcohol this morning." Red was sweating slightly tugging at his jacket cuffs stressed that he over stepped.
Comic sighed "whoops should have covered my tracks better... But it went well I think I've talked him into meeting her" he said smiling
Red smiled "th-that's really good."
"Yeah" he said and entwined their arms "he deserves to he happy."
Red blushed but leaned in to the hold "yeah. he sounds like a nice guy... everyone here is nice."
"Yeah or they try to be" he said seeing his post come up "here we are work sweet work" he said
Red snickered looking at it he started to frown "where am i supposed to sit?" chuckling Red joked "i guess i could just sit on your lap. heh heh heh."
"Sounds perfect" Comic said sitting and patting his lap
Red blinked his skull flushing a bright red "i-i-i was joking!"
"Nope made up my mind get up here" he chuckled
Red shook his head his bones bright pink embarrassed "n-no i'll sit on the ground."
"Nah nah here wait one sec" he said and popped out before popping in with another stool "here"
Red blushed taking it mumbling an embarrassed thank you.
Comic chuckled "you know you can tell me when I'm being too much you know. I won't get mad at you" he said
Red whipped his head around "wait, you are doing this on purpose. You ass."
"Correction...youR ass" Comic said with a smirk
Red snorted before schooling his features and using a posh voice "oh really good sir? Please use it in a sentence."
Comic chuckled and mimicked his voice "I must say good sir that youR ass is the finest in town... If I do day so myself" he said patting his own behind
Red burst into giggles covering his mouth grinning. "You're such a flirt!"
Comic chuckled "it's much easier with such a cute audience"
Red blushed waving a hand at him but missing "I already told you 'm not cute!"
"Hehehe I think you're outvoted" he said
"Fine! You know what you're PRETTY. Ha! At least I can think of different words than using the same one over and over." Red grumbled crossing his arms.
Comic gasped though blushed a little "ah! That's just oh!" He said
Red smirked "yeah, it's pretty embarrassing being on that side isn't it. Well you can just shut your pretty bones up."
Comic blushed more and began cackling "oh man you're awesome!"
Red blushed rubbing his arm awkwardly. Looking to Comic shyly asking "you really think so?"
"Yeah!" He said smiling
Red smiled "you're really cool too."
"Birds of a feather gotta flock together" he said pecking his cheek.
Red blushed brightly pulling up his hood quickly and turning away. "Y-yeah whatever." Though there was a soft smile on his face as he lightly touched his cheek.
Comic chuckled and laid his head down humming a bit.
Red smiled fiddling with his fingers listening to Comic's humming. This place was so nice and calming.
Comic's humming soon turned into soft snores.
Red chuckled leaning over to gently pet the sleeping skeletons skull humming a little himself.
There was some footsteps and Doggo came by "hey Sans! I'm out of biscuits!"
Red jolted tilting back too far on his stool and falling backwards with a POOF.
"Woah! Sans you okay?" Doggo said rushing over and swinging his head "dude move or something I can't see you!" He said worried
Red waved from the ground nervously. "S-sorry."
Doggo looked down and offered a hand "sorry Sans... Just seeing if you could pick me up some biscuits from town again" he said
Red took his paw standing up fiddling with his jacket nervous. "I um. Sans could probably. I mean i can tell him if-if you want."
"Wait you aren't Sans?" He asked peering closer.
"Nope buddy up here" Comic said sitting up.
Red shook as his snout came close enough to touch his skull "s-sorry."
"Eh it's alright man you really look like him... Sort of smell like him too..."
"Yeah his name is Sans too he's my cousin he just moved in with me and Pap but we call him Red" Comic said smiling "so you need more biscuits?"
Red nodded to Comic's statement scurrying back over hovering by his side.
Comic pet his skull "he's nervous around new people came from a nasty spit in new home" he said
Doggo nodded "I understand sorry if I scared ya buddy. I am sort of blind unless an object moves" he said
Red nodded "it-it's okay. You can probably see me all the t-time. My b-bones tend to rat-rattle a lot. Heh."
Doggo snort "great another punny guy" he said and a pop was heard "got your biscuits" Comic said handing them over "wow that was fast thanks" Doggo said and handed him 30G though the biscuits were only twenty "thanks for the tip Doggo" Comic said
Red chuckled pushing Sans lightly "you don't need a tip cheater. Give it back to the poor guy." Red liked this dog he was nice it also helped that he couldn't see well. His lack of sight calmed his ever raging nerves. Red also couldn't remember ever seeing this dog in UnderFell so he didn't have any negative emotions toward him.
Sans sighed and gave the money back "nah here ya go" he said
Red shook his head muttering "poor dog can't see and you pick on him. For shame you tease."
"Hey I like my money" he said.
Doggo snorted and chuckled. "Yeah I like your buddy more" he said and lit up a biscuit.
Red practically preened under the compliment. "T-thanks. Y-you're okay yourself."
Comic chuckled "yeah he's cool" he said
Red smiled hopping up onto the stool kicking his legs slightly "s-so what do you do?"
"I am a sentry a bit further up the road the entire Dogi clan protect this area" he said
Red nodded in understanding. He was almost giddy being able to just talk to another person. "Cool. Why do you smoke biscuits? Do they taste good?"
"Yeah and it's an easy way to quit Cigs" he said "Dogaressa is having pups soon and I can't smoke around her" he explained
Red perked up "pups! Wow really?"
"Yeah her and her mate Dogamy are expecting" he said
Red grinned rambling off questions and comments not leaving Doggo time to answer before he asked the next "man. Do they have a name yet? I mean there's only so many dog names a person can make. Do they know what type it's going to be? I know not all of you are the same. Aren't they the two with the hooded capes? Are they going to make one for the pup?"
"Wow wow slow down bloke they don't know any of that yet" he chuckled "but whatever it is it'll be loved by all the clan" he said
Red blushed "sorry… i've never been able to talk with someone about this stuff. Not many kids where i'm from. It's.. nice to just be able to talk."
"Wow sad place. there are plenty of kids in town and MK roams everywhere poor kid" he said
Red frowned thinking of his MK, still lucky to be alive. Nodding and smiling Red commented "y-yeah but it's nice here. i like it here. B-but i'm probably keeping you. Sorry."
"Nah it's alright ain't no human alerts" he said
Red smiled kicking his feet happily "oh. That's good. So what do you like to do for fun?"
"Eh we make snow balls and stuff. drink a lot at Grillby's and play cards. you should join us sometime" he said
Red nodded excited "y-yeah i m-might. Comic what do you think?"
"You should totally do it make some new friends" he said patting his hand
Red nodded "yeah. Aren't we going to Grillby's for lunch later?"
"We are. we can introduce you to the crew then." Comic said smiling
Red shifted nervously "i-i don't know about.. Crew… could we. could we work up to that?"
"Yeah we can bub as long as you need" Comic said nuzzling him
Red blushed pushing at him slightly "stooop you're embarrassing me….. Thanks though."
Doggo watched "you guys are adorable" he chuckled
Red let out a whine "why do people keep calling me that!"
"Cause it's true you're both punny." Doggo said with a small smile
Red frowned "that maybe true, but look at these fangs. I'm scary. I got red magic. Red means danger and that's my name. I'm not cute or adorable or anything like that."
"Pft if you say so" Doggo snorted "I got fangs too"
Red snorted giggling "they are suppose to be that way dummy. They are called canines for a reason. Look at Comic's teeth then look at mine. Flat vs. fangs."
"Can't I'm blind" he snorted
Red huffed taking on of his paws "feel them!" Pressing Doggo's paw to his teeth.
"Wow you got some nice chompers there" he said
Red nodded smiling "yeah! Sans Sans let him feel yours now."
Comc chuckled and let him "yep nice and flat... But still both too small to be vicious."
Red nodded chuckling "yeah you probably never hurt a fly before. Heh heh one time i took a chunk out of a guys arm heh heh never saw it coming. Oh oh and one time i bit off a guys thumb heh heh heh told him he could have a thumb dog for 500 heh heh heh."
Doggo snorted "wow you really just have lived in the slums I knew new home sucked, but didn't know it was that bad" he said
Red frowned. "It's not bad… i… i thought it was pretty funny."
"Pft well not around here" Comic said "we aren't really a violent bunch" he added
Red nodded with a sigh "yeah… i noticed." sure this place was great, but he kind of missed his old universe. His brother always gave at least a chuckle at his stories and maybe if he was lucky a smile showing he was proud. He missed his brother. If his boss was here they could talk about how weak and pathetic this place was, but still enjoy it because they wouldn't have to fight and look over their shoulders all the time.
Comic pat his hand "yeah, but don't worry someone will laugh I'm sure" he said
Red shook his head waving him off "nah it's fine. I'm good… hey i'm going to walk around for a bit. All this sitting is giving me a kink in my bones. Heh."
"Alright be careful" Comic said and Doggo chuckled "I'm going back to my station" he said and moved on.
Red nodded shrugging his hood up walking a little bit away kicking the snow a little as he went.
Red had gotten tired of walking around after a while and plopped down in the snow leaning against a tree. After a few minutes it became hard for Red to keep his eyes open. Blinking heavily his eyelids eased closed and he began snoring softly.
Comic was snoozing away at his station too waiting for his bro.
Papyrus walked up to the station grinning. today was going good he hadn't slipped on ice once. seeing Sans he walked up petting his skull "Sans... Sans aren't you supposed to be working? have you check on Red yet? i wonder how he is doing at home by himself?"
Comic nuzzled his hand smiling dopily "he came to work with me he's somewhere around" he said
Papyrus frowned concerned "Sans you mean to tell me you lost red. Red who freaks out at anyone that isn't us? And you LOST HIM!"
Comic sat up frowning "huh... Yeah my bad... Let's find him"
Papyrus sighed rubbing between his sockets "you are going to give me a headache at this rate. Okay which way do you think he went?"
"Probably toward the ruins" he said hopping down and starting to look
Papyrus nodded looking around even shifting through a few lumps of snow.
Comic helped too "Red! Red where are ya buddy!"
Red murmured from his spot. snow had started to settle on him making him give a small shiver.
Papyrus frowned crouching and looking around until he spotted a familiar looking lump. With a "Nyeh!" he quickly went over dusting off snow and pulling the sleepy skeleton into his arms "Red it is quite dangerous to be sleeping out in the snow. Your bones are almost frozen!"
Comic made it over "yeah bud... Are you okay?" He asked
Red murmured something indistinguishable into Papyrus's hoody
Comic sighed "here Pap give him to me. I'll take him home and get him warm" he said
Papyrus frowned clutching the smaller one slightly giving him a small clank. "Okay. But it is getting close to lunch so don't forget to eat something brother."
"I won't bro" he promised and took Red and ported him home "man you're freezing..."
Red mumbled nuzzling into the other. "Think i fell asleep."
"Yeah you did. nearly froze too... Maybe I should get you to Grillby and ask him to warm you up..." Comic said
Red nuzzled into Comic's jacket "you're cozy."
Comic chuckled "I know..."
Red hummed "bet so."
"Hmm let's get to Grillbz and warm up. I'll get lunch."
Red hummed nuzzling him some more. "Oh how sweet of you."
Comic smiled and pecked his cheek "yeah like sugar" he said
Red blushed and with a squeak hid his face into Comic's ribs
Comic teleported them to Grillby's "Grillbz! Got a skeleton on the rocks that needs some warming!" He called
Grillby looked up from where he had been wiping down the bar "s-sans?" looking to Sans's arms and seeing another skeleton there he tilted his head his flames lighting up concerned. "C-cold?" opening his arms he becond Sans over.
Sans came and turned over his counterpart "yeah he fell asleep in the snow" he said
Grillby nodded pulling the small skeleton into his arms. His arms curling around him like a toasty blanket nuzzling his skull.
Red squeaked as his was pulled into the warm chest strong arms wrapping around him. Flinching at the contact, but as he was nuzzled the heat seeping into his bones made him yawn and fist Grillby's shirt sleepily.
Grillby looked down "sleepy?"
Comic chuckled "he's just like me remember? We sleep like babies" he said
Grillby smiled nodded "pre-cious."
"He is... He's so cute" Comic said gazing at him adoringly
Red blushed rubbing his skull into Grillby's chest to hide it.
Grillby snickered "you… L-ike."
"Pft yeah he's me what isn't to like, he's me"
Grillby chuckled shaking his head. Looking back down to Red he shifted him lifting him so he could stand. Shifting him so he was cradling the small Skeleton in one arm he moved behind the bar to continue his cleaning.
Red looked like a small child in the flames arms. He fisted Grillby's shirt his eyes fighting to close. Red let out a small yawn.
"You're so good at this Grillbz." Comic chuckled.
Grillby nodded rubbing Red's skull "fu-ku."
"Yeah Fuku huh? Have you written her lately?" He asked his friend
Grillby gave a small ashamed shake of no and giving Sans a bashful look "... Muff… "
"Hehe muff will fit in your arms too. she's petite" he said
Grillby blushed thinking of holding the spider "all… fit..."
Comic smiled "yeah" he said smiling
Grillby grinned down to him holding open his free arm motioning to him. "Fit..."
Comic blushed but climbed into his warm embrace "thanks Grillby" he said
Grillby gave a rumbling chuckle. There was no one in his bar at the moment so he made his way to a booth sliding in one side and nuzzling the small skeletons. "All-ways..."
"Yeah... You're the best..." He said and yawned Grillby did have the warmest hugs
Red nodded mumbling half asleep "best… much better than mine..."
Grillby blushed his flames rising at the compliments.
Comic chuckled and nuzzled Grillby
Grillby smiled nuzzling them both hugging them tight. "love..."
"Love you too..." He said clanking his cheek before drifting off it was such an adorable scene.
Grillby smiled blushing nuzzling the two. He would let the two rest. He rubbed their sides and back soothing giving quiet broken cooes.
After a bit customers began showing up.
Grillby sighed for once wishing to not have company just the small skeletons. With a small sigh Grillby set the two in the booth, making sure they were comfortable. Taking off his vest he draped it over the two wishing that he had a jacket instead. Rubbing their skulls he went to do his job. Once business died down he would check on the two maybe bring them an order and wake them up to eat.
Comic woke to the clank of a plate barely looking up to see fries and a bottle of ketchup "thanks Grillby!" He said sitting up ecto tummy growling
Red groaned rubbing his sockets with a yawn.
Grillby petted their skulls setting down another plate and a bottle of ketchup.
Looking up at Grillby Red shyly asked "c-could i have m-mustard?"
Grillby nodded going to replace the condiment.
"Heh you like mustard? Spicy like you" he said putting a bunch of his ketchup on his fries.
Red nodded his eyes wide at the yellow bottle. He delicately touched it. He hadn't been able to get a hold of any for years, but always craving the taste. Taking the bottle he licked his teeth squeezing some onto a fry Red hesitantly ate it letting out a small moan at the taste. Oh how he missed it.
Comic chuckled "wow that's adorable you don't have much where your from?"
Red shook his head pouring mustard on his fries and chowing down humming at each bite. "I don't even care what you say right now. I LOVE mustard. Oh mustard where have you been? Gah so tasty. Mmmm missed it so much."
Comic chuckled "I'm more of a ketchup man myself" he said
Red nodded between bites saying "yeah fits you... You are a tomato... A mystery... A fruit that's more of a vegetable... No one is really sure where to put it... Not in a fruit salad... But perfect for salsa... Weird."
Comic looked at him with wide eyelights that turned into hearts "that is the most poetic thing anyone has ever said 'bout me"
Red blushed opening his mouth to say something, but embarrassedly stuffed his face instead. He had only said what he read in a book he found. It wasn't supposed to be something romantic.
Comic turned back to his food and began eating again entirely blue
Grillby walked over before pausing "bl-ue?"
"He rattled my bones Grillby" Comic whined
Grillby chuckled his flames sparking with mirth. "L-ike... Lots..."
Red mumbled around his fries "just talked about ketchup."
Grillby nodded grinning and fake whispering "weak-ness..."
Comic blushed "is not!" He said denying it
Red blushed chuckling "your eyes did turn to hearts."
"It was sweet that's all" he huffed
Red chuckled patting his hand "I'm glad ya tomato."
"I mustache you a question tho..." Sans said making an ecto mustache
Red giggled waving at him "shave it for later heh heh heh."
Grillby gave a small chuckle, but left the too for a different table asking for him.
Comic laughed and told a few more jokes
Red smiled he was really enjoying this. This was the most fun he's had... Well ever. At some point during one of Comic's really bad jokes Red had playfully shoved him. Since then his hand has stayed on his arm lightly gripping the fabric of his jacket every once in awhile.
Comic hadn't found himself so genuinely happy in so long it had been so long. "Wow Red... You're the life of the party..."
Red tilted his head smiling "really how?"
"You're just really good at making people happy" Comic said
Red blinked "I.. I am?"
"Yeah you are" Comic said and held his hand
Red blushed a dark red turning away, but he didn't take his hand back.
Comic chuckled and finished his food with a sigh "wanna check the hot dog stand in hotland then go to the lab?" He asked
Red shrugged "s-sure." he gave a wave to Grillby and he walked over. "Bye Grillby."
Grillby smiled giving him a small kiss to his skull giving him an upside down heart. Turning to Comic Grillby did the same.
Comic hugged his waist and then left with Red taking him to hotland to check the stand
Grillby smiled his flames flickering happily as he got back to work.
Red chuckled at the stand "nice stand. You come here often heh heh heh."
"Thanks I do actually" Comic said looking to see if anyone had bought anything
Red smiled "so who's the Fuku girl you too were talking about. I only heard half of you guys said. Grillby's so warm makes ya fall asleep. She your Girlfriend?"
Comic turned blue "haha no she's a bit young for me. She's Grillby's daughter a sweet little flame elemental she goes to boarding school here in hotland." He said "she'll probably come here on her lunch break if you want to meet her" he said
Red shrugged "I'm with you."
"Alright" he said and looked at his watch "it won't be long"
Soon a little flame came skipping up she seemed either in middle school or early high school "hi Sans! Who's your friend?" She asked
Comic smiled and began making her favorite dog "he's a buddy of mine also called Sans!"
Red gave a shaky smile shrinking back slightly.
Fuku smiled "oh! Is this your first time in hotland? Don't worry I won't burn you!" She chirped sweetly
Red blushed murmuring that they had been to Grillby's.
"Oh! You've met my motherfather! How is he?" She asked brightening
Red nodded "h-he's nice... O-oh I mean it looks like he was w-well."
Fuku smiled "I am glad" she said
"Yeah still pining over Muffet" Comic chuckled making Fuku giggle
Red nodded "it's cute. You're old man is adorable."
Fuku giggled "he is I can't wait till school gets out so I can go home"
Red chuckled "schools still important. Gotta get good learnins from the smart peoples."
Fuku giggled "yeah and I work hard! I have the highest grades in my class!"
Red looked impressed "that's great."
She nodded "MotherFather works hard so I can go to a fancy school I'm not gonna let him down!"
Red chuckled remembering his Grillby bragging about his little cherry blossom pink baby flame. "I'm sure he is very proud kiddo. No reason to not be."
She smiled "thanks"
Comic chuckled "I can sneak you home anytime kiddo" he reminded
Red chuckled tutting at Comic "you're a bad roll model."
"Nah I'm a great one" he said and Fuku bapped his skull "no you really are the worst" she said
Red nodded "yeah only Pap is great."
Comic whined "ah no one loves the poor skele."
Red chuckled patting his shoulder "aw shut up I love ya." freezing at his comment Red instantly blushed turning away
Comic blushed too brightly "heh thanks" he said
Fuku turned pink at the edges "I ship it..." She told herself
Red pushed her blushing hard "shutup."
Fuku giggled and spun "I ship it!" She said and began skipping away "I can't wait to tell violet!"
Red's eyes widened whipping around chasing a few steps after her "WAIT! YOU BETTER NOT!"
"Ima gonna!" She called and was gone laughing happily.
Comic chuckled "kids huh?" He said blushing
Red groaned flopping onto the ground exasperated. "Damit."
"What's wrong with you?" He said
Red sighed "... nothing..."
"Come on buddy what's wrong?" Comic asked going down and helping him up.
Red got up rubbing his arm hidding his face from the other. "It's... It's embarrassing... I didn't mean to say it like that... It's embarrassing to think I'm... Well adjusting to this world so easily..."
"That's not a bad thing" Comic assured
Red sighed "says you… what is boss going to think. Actually i know what he is going to think. 'Sans is such a weakling he couldn't last one day before becoming attached to his weak copies' i'll never hear the end of it. 'They bought you with mustard and puns. Gah pathetic.' which i guess i am."
"If your bro acts like that he's the pathetic one not you" Comic said "I'm sure your bro will be just happy to see you"
Red nodded sniffling "i miss him. I miss my world. I know it's stupid because it's horrible, but i miss it. It was my home."
Comic nodded and hugged him tightly and then teleported them into his lab "well I don't want to send you back, but maybe bringing him here will be okay?"
Red nodded "i-i hope so... y-you guys will be okay with having us here. i understand if you don't."
"It's fine I can pull another shift and it'll be fine" Comic said like it was no big deal
Red frowned "we can help... we just need a place to stay until we get use to this world. get our feet on the ground. Boss doesn't like charity so he'll probably fight you tooth and nail, but i can start looking for a job. i'm sure i can find one."
Comic shook his head and nuzzled him "you settle in and get healthy first" he said
Red blushed stuttering "i-i am settling. i-i'm more than healthy. this has b-been the most healthy i've been all my life."
"Exactly keep going upward my broski" he said
Red gave him a small smile "yeah okay... so what do you have here? do you think this will work. i don't even know how i made it here."
"This is a machine Gaster was working on before he fell it's supposed to be a doorway to other universes" he said
Red looked at it frowning "looks a little old. does it work?"
"Not sure I think it's unfinished but I'm sure we can get it going" he said
Red sighed "this will take a lot of work. i could just try to do what i did again... but i might end up somewhere else."
"Yeah we don't wanna do that" he said
Red looked at him curious "are you sure?"
"Yeah we can do it" he said
Red nodded walking closer and peering at the machine. "It'll take a while. I want to finish as fast as possible. i don't want to leave boss alone... for too long at least"
"Well you can work on it even when I'm not here" he said
Red nodded "i might be a little rusty though."
Comic nodded "me too"
Red smiled "well we better see what we can do then. let's get to work."
