Chapter 9: Sickness

Red cracked his sockets open to a much cleaner room. With a groan he sat up before giving three small kitten sneezes. Sniffling he turned to Comic. "Hey you awake? I need a tissue."

Comic sat up and sneezed himself "yeah...uh..." He looked around.

Red gave a groan "yeah it looks like boss cleaned. You won't find anything where you left it."

Comic nodded and got out of bed "let's go... Uh ask..."

Red gave a small nod walking with him. Red whined loudly his voice cracking a bit "Bo-oss! *sniffle* i need a tissue for my issue hehe."

Edge frowned "oh my god you two look awful!' He said and got them some tissues

Red frowned blowing his nose cavity into the tissue. "Thanks boss, but do we really look that bad?"

"Yes! You both look ill! Go back to bed this instant!"

Papyrus walked out of the kitchen with some medicine frowning. "Here take some medicine. I'll bring you two another cup of water and soup in a bit."

Red frowned grumbling a bit taking the medicine before holding his arms up to Edge demandingly. "Carry me."

Edge sighed "you are such a baby..." He said and picked him and Comic up taking them upstairs.

"Wah" Comic said and sneezed

Red snickered sniffling and nuzzling into Edge. "love you bro. You're so good to me."

"You better" he said and pet him.

Red nodded curling into him and falling asleep.

Papyrus smiled as he pulled back the blankets for Edge.

Edge set him down first and then Comic who yawned "Sorry I got sick... Can you call in for me?" He asked his brother

Papyrus nodded giving him a clank to his forehead "of course brother. Your job is to get better. You have two amazing Papyrus's to help with that so worry not you will be in tip top shape soon!"

"I don't doubt it... Love you" he said and crawled under the blanket to sleep

Papyrus smiled giving him another clank "love you more brother." walking back to the kitchen Papyrus started on some tomato soup after shooting Undyne a quick text.

Edge followed "will he be punished for missing work?"

Papyrus raised a bone brow "punished? Oh PUNished Psh Nyeh heh heh i didn't know you enjoyed puns like Sans and Red."

"No I mean punished as in reprimanded or beaten or fired" he said

Papyrus gasped "WHAT!? Undyne would never hurt Sans! Sure Sans maybe lazy and slack off and sleep a lot, but she would never hurt him… only noogy him or suplex him. But Sans is far too delicate to be suplexed and she knows that. Plus he is sick! He is allowed a sick day."

Edge relaxed a little "that... Is easing. I am glad punishments are not a requirement here" he said

Papyrus frowned asking softly "was Red punished a lot?"

"Yeah when we were younger... Before Undyne... She only ever got him once, but the one before her..." He shivered "I think he just liked hearing my brother beg to not die..." He said touched the scars over his eye "he gave me these too when he found out Sans had been hiding me in his stand"

Papyrus frowned striding closer and placing a hand on Edge's shoulder "I promise that you will never have to go through that again. Undyne maybe rough, but i will not allow her or anyone else to harm you or Red." Pulling Edge into a hug Papyrus held him close in what he hoped was a comforting embrace "You are family. Family protects each other."

Edge was in surprise before wrapping his arms around him burying his face in the others neck "thank you..."

Papyrus grinned giving Edge a small squeeze "Of course Edge I am always here for you. If you ever want to discuss you life before or want to talk i'm here. Sans has problems communicating so I understand if you don't want to."

"I just might" he said letting him go "let's get cooking for those lazy bones"

Papyrus nodded turning and stirring the pot of soup "Nyeheheh! That's the spirit! Would you cut up some more herbs and tomatoes."

"Of course." he said summoning a small bone knife and chopping the ingredients pleased with the selection of this world.

Papyrus hummed bonetrousle happily.

Edge joined him. he liked this song.

Soon they had the soup done and were heading back to their sick brother's. Papyrus walked up to the sleeping skeletons asking softly "Sans. Red. are you hungry? We have soup done."

Red grumbled snuggling closer to Comic.

Comic whined "Do I havta?"

"Yes you have too! Now up you two are ill and need to eat!" Edge said sitting them up manually

Red whined moving more like a rag doll. Grumbling he instantly slumped into Edge's hand.

Papyrus huffed at Edge's roughness, but sat beside Comic and helped him hold the bowl. "Come on Sans it's tomato, your favorite."

"I like tomato soup..." Comic agreed rubbing his eyes

Papyrus hummed in approval giving him a quick clank to his skull. "yes, you do." scooping up some soup Papyrus presenting it to the sleepy skeleton "Now open up."

Comic did as told and let his brother feed him.

Edge frowned in thought "Red? Would you like me to feed you?" He asked petting Red

Red cracked a socket open nodding into Edge's hand before catching himself "nah it's okay boss. I can do it. Don't wanna bother ya more than i already do heh."

"It's no bother" he said and lifted the spoon "open up"

Red frowned fidgeting nervously, but opened his mouth nevertheless. He had never been fed by someone else before and Red felt awkward and nervous that he would do it wrong. Oh stars what if he choked or made a mess.

Edge put the spoon in his mouth and waited for him to take it... He felt kind of stupid now they probably looked silly not seamless like his counterpart and Comic

Red hummed at the flavor. The soup almost made up for the awkwardness. Taking the spoon Red made sure to lick all the soup off "this is like… i can't even describe how good this is. Did you make this boss?" reaching for the bowl Red scooped another spoonful slurping it happily.

Papyrus giggled at the scene.

Edge sighed in relief when Red began eating "yes, me and Papyrus made it. I am proud of it."

Red nodded talking with his mouth full "shhould be bosh this tashte fuckin' amazin'."

"Language Red!"

Comic flicked him "ya bad"

Red whined leaning into Edge. "Boooooss they're bein' mean ta me."

"They are... I vote we steal their soup"

Red giggled bapping Edge "no bad. Tomato over there is sick and needs it. Though I do wonder if they're ticklish? Hehehe"

Edge chuckled "we could find out"

Red gave a diabolical chuckle.

Papyrus shook his head holding out his hands to try to protect himself "no. No! We have soup! You'll make a mess!"

Edge smirked "oh don't worry we won't right now... But when you least expect it..." He said leaning forward "you're ours"

Papyrus whined while Red cackled before bursting into a fit of coughs

Comic pat his back gently

Red pouted scrubbing his skull once the coughing stopped. "I hate being sick."

Edge pet him "me too"

Red gave him a small grin "ya care about me that much boss?"

"I do, you little snot" he teased and wiped his nose

Red gave him a dopey grin "aww Boss! You're the best. Love ya bro."

Edge felt his soul pulse and smiled a bit

Papyrus beamed at them nuzzling his own brother.

Red gave a loud gasp grinning and poking at Edge's teeth "Is that a smile I see?"

Comic smiled and snuggled to Pap he had finished his soup and began to snooze.

Edge nipped his finger blushing "shut up"

Red chuckled nuzzling his skull under Edge's chin. "Aw bro you're so adorable when you get embarrassed."

"Shut up Sans and eat your food" he said grumbled

Red nodded chuckling. Finishing the soup Red handed the bowl back. Giving Edge a quick hug he murmured "I really do love you bro. Thanks for taking care of me."

"I love you too Sans..."

Red gave a small happy hum before it turned to soft snores.

Papyrus cooed softly not wanting to wake up the sleeping skeletons

Edge held him a bit longer before laying him down and tucking him in up to his chin

Red curled up nuzzling into the pillow.

Papyrus smiled tucking Comic in and giving both sick skeletons a clank.

There was a loud bang heard from downstairs and indistinct shouts.

Papyrus jolted looking to Edge worried.

Edge frowned and went down stairs bones sword summoned.

Papyrus followed Edge down summoning a bone club. Scoping out the room he noticed the front door had been thrown open and smashed against the wall. A figure launched out of the kitchen yanking Edge into a headlock

"NAAAAAAAAGH! PAPYRUS WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOUR SLACKER OF A BROTHER IS SICK!"

Edge growled when he was tackled and used his attackers weighted against them flipping and twisting around to stab her.

Papyrus gasped quickly trying to jump between them "STOP! EDGE IT'S UNDYNE!"

Undyne quickly bought up a spear intersecting his swords "Papyrus what are you doing?! I applaud you attacking, but sparing is for outside, you know that. Sans will kill me if i destroy your house again."

"Where do you get off attacking people in their own home!" Edge growled in her face red magic burning from his eyes dangerously he pushed her off when Papyrus asked but stayed in a stance

Undyne looked between the two of them in shock. "Pap and… Spikey Pap? Wait is this Red's bro?!"

Papyrus nodded glad that they were no longer fighting. "Yes, this is Edge. He isn't use to here yet so please don't noogie or suplex him quite yet."

"Don't noogie or suplex me ever" he said looking Undyne over she looked decidedly more sane

Undyne groaned "this Edgey you is kind of a downer Pap."

Papyrus gasped and smacked her arm "BAD UNDYNE! Edge is not a downer he is very fun to be around. Having personal boundaries isn't a bad thing."

"Personal boundaries are very important where I come from."

Undyne sighed but relented "fine, but I can admit you are a pretty quick at your reaction time. You work with the guard where you're from?"

"I was second in command. Undyne's right hand" he said proudly

Undyne nodded humming in approval. "You know we could use someone with your experience and skill. Are you wanting to get a job with the guard here?"

Papyrus grinned "oh wowie we were talking about working together the other day! It will be exciting to have you join our training sessions."

Undyne paused "Well, Pap Edge here is already trained. If you want you can start tomorrow i'll need someone to cover Sans's post and report to me on the clan. What do you say Edge?"

Edge nodded "I accept. what rules do you have on discipline and running outposts?"

Papyrus blinked stunned by the scene.

Undyne nodded "I'll give you the detailed paperwork when you bring the clan's reports tomorrow. For the time being anyone not on duty at the post or roaming, slacking off, smoking, or drinking during their hours should be reprimanded and if need be tell me about it. Each station will have a sigh put up when they are on break or roaming. That work for you until we get the paperwork filled out for you?"

"Yes it does thank you I can have a detailed resume for you by tomorrow" he said

Undyne nodded "good bring it with the reports. When you collect them just tell the clan that I sent you. They've all meet Red by now so they shouldn't cause you any trouble."

Papyrus felt a horrible feeling grow inside of him. He should be happy that Edge was able to get a job he wanted… it was just that he had worked for so long to get what Edge was able to get by just meeting Undyne. Papyrus frowned walking to the kitchen putting up the leftover soup.

"I shall get on it right away" he said

Undyne laughed patting him on the back harshly "Don't get ahead of yourself cadet. I came over here for a reason. Pap-Pap? Where did you run off to?"

Papyrus swiped away his budding tears "in the kitchen! Are we going to cook?"

"Hell yeah! I mean heck yeah."

Edge watched "Cooking lessons?"

Undyne pumped her fist "Heck Yeah!" pulling Papyrus into a side hug Undyne grinned to Edge "Pappy here trains under me. A good fighter needs to be a good chef too. Right Pap?"

"Yeah." Papyrus could find much enthusiasm about it now that he knew where he stood with his best friend. He hadn't been allowed into the guard not because he wasn't good enough. No, it was because his best friend didn't think he could do it. Edge was better than him. He should have known.

"My lessons started out with cooking too I could barely hold a sword before Undyne began training me in culinary arts once I got proficient transitioning to fighting was much easier!" Edge said smiling a bit "its good you employed the same tactic here to help my counterpart to gain the same refinement required for battle that can be found in cooking"

Undyne grinned "I'm glad someone else enjoys my style of training"

Papyrus nodded. "I'm going to go check on Sans. You can start without me. Maybe Edge can even show you something new." Papyrus would have felt ashamed at the slightly clipped tone he tone he took, but he was so... frustrated. Angry at how much better Edge was. Was this jealousy?

Undyne looked at him questioning before turned back to Edge "eh he's such a mama bear to Sans. Guess ya can't do nothing about that."

"Perhaps... And yes let's get started like Papyrus said" he knew wounded pride when he saw it

Undyne grinned grabbing a pot and tossing in a handful of noodles. "Stir that pot! Turn the temp up to a burning passion for JUSTICE! Let's see it!"

Edge frowned "you didn't even add water... And you don't add noodles till its boiling with justice!"

Undyne scoffed "if it's not black and on fire it's not filled with justice."

"What is wrong with you? This is cooking! Not a witch hunt!" He said taking the noodles out and putting water in the pot and putting it on the stove

"Hey hey hey! I'm the teacher! I know what I'm doing. It might have taken me three houses, but I know how to cook!"

"You've burned down houses?! How are you not in prison! Cooking that bad is criminal! No wonder Papyrus can't cook or fight! You are a bad teacher!"

"What!? How dare you! You have some nerve!" Undyne grabbed the front of Edge's battle body "You can talk bad about me all you want, but no one talks bad about Papyrus!"

"HE'S NOT AN INVALID! HE'S INEXPERIENCED!" Edge shouted back at her "IF SOMEONE TOOK TIME TO TEACH HIM HE COULD DO ANYTHING! THIS IS ONLY MAKING IT WORSE! YOU TRIED TO COOK NOODLES WITHOUT WATER!"

"WELL MAYBE I LIKE THEM THAT WAY! AND PAPYRUS IS A DAM GOOD FIGHTER HE CAN PROBABLY CONTROL HIS MAGIC BETTER THAN YOU!"

Edge didn't have much of a rebuttal for that. it was an injury to his soul actually. while his combat prowess was unmatched there was a crack in his soul that made his magic reserves lower than they could be. "I am a trained soldier I could break you in five ways just from this position. Papyrus is sheltered and naive but he could improve" he said "at this point I would dust him in seconds and in my world someone would have" he said coldly

Undyne narrowed her eye "touch him and you're dust... I like your confidence though."

"My confidence is fully warranted" he said brushing her hand off "and now that I have decided you are an idiot when it comes to cooking I will assume responsibility here and teach you both how to cook. Go to Papyrus and apologize for your incompetence" he said and made it back to the stove to prepare things for lesson one

Undyne shared at Edge in shock and building anger. "Why you-"

There was a cough and the sound off bone on wood. A tired rough voice came from the stairs "Boss... Can I have a glass of water. My throat hurts."

Edge turned his attention from her "Sans! You shouldn't be up!" He said and got the glass of water and went to him picking up his brother carefully

"Sorry you guys were being loud and woke me up. And what ya do to Pap. I woke up to him snuggled between Comic and me. He upset or sick?"

Edge frowned "he may be a tad upset..." He said and gave him the water "I am sorry for waking you brother"

Red sipped the water nuzzling into him. "Sokay. Though Comic's gonna be pissed."

"That's fine I have a lecture for him too if he tries... Me and you, we are taking over Papyrus's training I will teach him cooking and combat and you magic" he said

"W-what? Why? Is-isn't that like Undyne's job?"

"She tried to cook pasta without water she should be arrested"

Red burst into snickers "Oh Stars! Okay yeah I guess I can help."

"Of course you will! But first you rest and feel better we will reform her later and make her a real chef in no time!"

Red chuckled "if anyone can do it It'll be you boss."

Edge nodded "of course now back to bed" he said walking upstairs with him

Red nodded draining the last of his water. Giggling quietly Red gave Edge a clank to his cheek bone as Edge tucked Red in. "Love you bro."

Edge blushed "I love you too" he said

Papyrus gave a small "Nyeh." as Red latched onto him. Red leaching onto Papyrus's back while he had Comic snuggled into his chest.

Edge kissed all three of them on the skull "I love you all now rest"

Undyne was waiting for Edge at the bottom of the stairs, arms crossed and tapping her foot. "I know you gotta take care of Red, but I don't like to be kept waiting cadet."

"My apologies Captain what may I do for you?"

Undyne raised a brow at the change in tone before smirking "well I believe you were going to teach me how to cook, because I'm an idiot and incompetent? Wasn't that right?"

"Ah yes that was right. after you captain" he said following her to the kitchen "I hate incompetence especially when it is curable. And thankfully the other you was a real accomplished cook" he said and began arranging things for them

Undyne grinned "well I hate being called incompetent, but I must admit Sans won't let me come over unless Pap is in charge of cooking. Said 'I'm not replacing a perfectly good house'. I mean I've only burned down mine 5 times."

"You can afford to rebuild they cannot" he said and began showing her how to cook

Undyne shrugged "guess that's true."
