Stretch and Blue stood in the kitchen, midnight just barely around the corner. Everything had gone silent after Red's emotional eruption after his nightmare. He wouldn't speak to anyone. He was beginning to worry the Underswap brothers. They quickly glance at Red every now and then only to see that he hadn't moved an inch. The small skeleton sat on the couch, legs brought up tightly towards his chest, arms wrapping around them, chin placed lightly on top of his kneecaps, eyes lidded while staring off into the unknown distance. All in silence. It scares the Underswap brothers.
In a hushed whisper, Blue jabbed him in the ribs, "You need to talk to him."
"What if he freaks out if I do something?" Stretch asked cautiously.
Blue growled, "He'll freak out if you don'tdo something."
The other let out an exasperated sigh, "Yeah, you're right."
"Just... talk to him, okay?" He said.
"Yeah." Stretch nodded and left the kitchen. He walked over to his distraught boyfriend as cautiously as possible because he didn't want to startle the smaller skeleton. Stretch squatted down beside him and before he could even say anything, Red whipped his head around. Stretch fell backwards in shock.
Red looked beyond frightened. "He's going to kill our baby." He said in a whisper, "He's going to kill Blue." Red's hands shook as Stretch finally recovered. "He's going to kill you." Red's teeth chatted together, "He's going to kill me. He's g-going to-"
"Red." Stretch gripped his hand lightly, "He's not going to hurt anyone."
"Yes he is." The shakiness of his voice and the harshness of his breath made Stretch believe that Red was about to have a panic attack.
"Not while he's in his universe." Stretch chuckled slightly.
Red's freaked out frown twitched uowards, as if he found it amusing. However, it didn't last long, "He'll find a way..."
The taller skeleton gave his pregnant boyfriend a kiss, "Not while Blue and I are here. We wouldn't let anything happen to you, alright?"
Red looked away stubbornly, "I don't believe you... jerk."
Stretch let out a loud laugh, clutching his side, "I haven't heard you call me that since before our first date."
The smaller skeleton pouted, a blush matting his features, "Jerk..." He couldn't help but laugh pounding his fist into the floor as he did so. Red smiled, chuckling softly, "You're such a jerk."
Blue smiled from the kitchen, watching as his brother started to make awful puns that got Red smiling and eventually laughing. "They're a good pair." He thought to himself. His eyes narrowed. His teeth clenched together, "How can Red's brother do something like that? Why was he so angry? Unless... he loved Red?" Blue blinked curiously at the thought that ran through his head. It wasn't uncommon for siblings to fall in love in the underground where population was scarce. Blue huffed, crossing his arms angrily, "That edgy bastard should be happy to be expecting a niece or nephew... like ME! I am so happy that mybrother is going to have a kid that Ican spoil!" Blue looked back at the lovers who were hugging on the couch. He smiled, "That edgy bastard was close to killing Red and his kid. What wouldhave happened if..." He sighed, shaking his head. Blue sat at the table, kicking his legs slightly as Red and Stretch appeared in the kitchen. He gave a bright grin to the shorter skeleton, happy to see him smiling again. "That's enough what if'sfor tonight." Blue thought to himself.
A/N - I hope you all liked this chapter. I'm sorry that the length of the chapters in this story are very short. I did not intend for them to be so but... eh, I don't have an excuse for the word count. Guess it's just laziness, you know? Well, I'll write another chapter some other night. Hope you sinners are doing fabulously and as always, ta-ta~
