Chapter 16: Family
Blackberry and Papyrus led you into their home, it was quite nice and clean, though you noticed a drastic colour difference from Underswap's version, everything was darker either a red or a black colour, though you also noticed a few shades of gold and purple here and there.
You then noticed the table and the food placed out making your stomach rumble, finally a decent meal...not that there was anything wrong with fast food but a meal would be nice, Blackberry walked over and sat down at the head of the table, Papyrus sat at the end and you decided to sit in between the two "thank you for treating me" you said happily.
Blackberry smiled "no need for thanks pet...it's important for you to stay healthy, your not worth anything to me dead" he said, you didn't really like being called a 'pet' but you knew Blackberry didn't mean it, you began to eat your food moaning with delight at the taste, it was REALLY good "did you cook all this yourself Papyrus?" you asked.
Papyrus gave a small blush "uh...yeah...I-I did" he said noticing his brother giving him the death glare "b-but M'Lord is a much better cook" Papyrus quickly said making you turn your head to him "really?" you asked as you ate a bit more of your food, "yeah...I make some good ravioli" Blackberry said as you smiled "you'll need to make some for me some time" you said.
Blackberry blushed "why...don't we talk more about you, what are your hobbies?" he asked, you paused as your mind drew a blank...
*Why can't I remember anything?*
*Who...Who am I?*
*Please...give me something*
"Pet?" Blackberry said snapping you out of your trance "uh...I...um" you said unsure what to say, "I like...a bit of everything" you said a nervous smile on your face, Blackberry noticed this but he couldn't show his concern in front of his brother "okay...later we can...hang out and try out some hobbies together" Blackberry said.
Papyrus too looked concerned but he knew better to ask about it with his brother there, you gave a smile "o-okay" you said still concerned on how you were drawing blanks.
Maybe you needed to find...ierrrorerrornerrorerrorkerrrorerror, find...ierrorerrornerrorerror, who...who were you meant to find?
You dropped your fork making both the skeletons stare as you were hyperventilating, Blackberry didn't care if his mutt of a brother teased him "pet, calm down...slow breaths okay?" Blackberry said slowing his breathing trying to calm you down, Papyrus joined in rubbing your back as you went through your episode.
Before you knew it you fell unconscious once more...
"Y/N?" a familiar voice said, though you don't know why it sounded familiar, you turned your head spotting a skeleton with a gold ring crown around his head, a blue and white shirt with blue pants, over that was a golden cape he also wore yellow gloves and yellow boots, his eyes were also yellow.
He looked...familiar?
"Are you okay?" the skeleton asked making you nervous "how...do you know my name?" you asked, "oh no...it's already started" the skeleton said looking worried as he took out some marbles from his pockets and began to fiddle with them, "what's started, who are you, where am I?" you asked remembering that you were hyperventilating, you must have passed out so maybe this was a dream.
Your eyes widened as a wave of memories came rushing back "Dream..." you said rushing and giving him a tight hug making him drop his marbles "what's...going on?" you asked tears falling down your eyes, Dream put his arms around you "Ink didn't warn you...but staying in the multiverse can cause you to slowly lose your memories, you will slowly forget yourself and believe the first person you see without question" he said.
You shook and more tears came out "w-what should I do?" you asked, Dream smiled "just tell me where you are" he said you had to laugh.
*Of course just tell him*
"PET!"
*Where you...*
"PET!"
*are...*
"WAKE UP PET!"
Your eyes slowly opened as the shouting woke you up "are you okay pet?" Blackberry asked looking worried making you give a small smile "y-yeah...sorry...I don't know what happened" you said slowly sitting up getting help from Papyrus "you hyperventilated...and fell unconscious" Blackberry told you as he put a hand to your head "hm...you do feel a little warm...you could have a fever" he said.
You nodded slightly "maybe..." you said feeling a little dizzy "luckily the MAGNEFICENT AND TERIFYING SANS is amazing at human healing" Blackberry declared before Papyrus glared "M'Lord...maybe I should help her" he said not wanting Y/N hurt by his brother messing up, Blackberry glared "when did I ask you for your opinion mutt?" he asked sounding angry.
"I'm only thinking about the human M'Lord" Papyrus said, you found yourself between the death glares of the brothers "Papyrus...while I am thankful that you are worried for me, I am sure your brother knows what he is doing" you said a gentle smile on your face, Papyrus seemed to calm down and look away "fine...if that is what you would like" he replied as Blackberry sighed as he lifted you with his magic "I will take you to my room, you will rest there until you are better" he declared heading upstairs with you floating in his magic.
He opened his bedroom door and you noticed the same black and red colour on the walls and floor, he had a racecar bed which almost made you giggle because it seemed so childish, his bed was purple in colour, you also noticed a computer in the corner though it looked very banged up, in another corner was a box with a bunch of bones in it, a table was also in the room lined with action figures, a bookshelf and a pirate flag hung on the wall.
Blackberry placed you on his bed "pet I have something to admit" he said making you stare "I...don't actually know how to cure your fever...but luckily I have a book on human sicknesses...so we shall figure it out" he said walking over to his bookshelf and taking out a book, "okay Blackberry" you said as he skimmed through it soon finding a section of 'how to cure a fever'.
"Okay let's follow this step by step pet..." Blackberry said "step one aim to drink at least eight ounces of water every two hours" he said "I shall get the water" he declared rushing off you giggled it was cute that he cared.
Slowly Blackberry followed the steps:
Step 2: Wear comfortable clothing, Blackberry noticed that you had decently comfortable clothes though he brought you one of Papyrus's baggy pants, he left the room so you could change.
Step 3: Lower the room temperature, Blackberry was sure the room temperature was perfect and you agreed.
Step 4: Get plenty of rest, Blackberry insisted that you start getting some rest, you gave off a sigh and rested back on his bed closing your eyes to get some rest as Blackberry looked at the next step.
Step 5: Take a fever-reducing medication, Blackberry sighed his world wasn't the kind to have medicine he scanned the list hoping to see something familiar, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, aspirin.
Blackberry groaned once more almost waking you up from your sleep, he scanned the page again and noticed tea would work too... since you were asleep he decided to leave the tea for later, following the steps closely he placed a wet cloth on your forehead, then headed out "mutt I'm heading out to the store, keep an eye on my pet" Blackberry announced making Papyrus sigh "yes M'Lord..." he said watching Blackberry leave.
"So..." Papyrus jumped at hearing your voice turning his head toward the staircase "why are you two still acting?" you asked, Papyrus stared "what...are you talking about?" he asked making you giggle as you came downstairs, you sat next to Papyrus "the whole 'mutt' and 'M'Lord' thing" you said, Papyrus seemed to look away "me and Sans...we aren't...close" he replied.
"But why?" you asked making Papyrus more nervous "we just aren't, it's always been like that...why do you care?" he asked, you smiled "because your my friends...you shouldn't have to pretend around your brother" you replied, Papyrus leaned close and you slightly backed away "uh Papyrus?" you asked as he placed his forehead on yours "hmmm...your not as warm...guess it wasn't a fever" Papyrus said backing off as you had a light blush on your face.
"Yeah..." you replied looking away as Papyrus noticed "your face is still red though" he said making you glare "oh shush" you said.
After a few hours Blackberry arrived back home noticing you had woken up of course he was angry and gave you a stern talking to and you just smiled it all off, you then noticed Blackberry had bought you a lot of fruit which the book suggested as well as a box of golden flower tea.
"The book also suggested homemade soup..." Blackberry said a smile on his face, you sighed "I'll be happy to have soup" you replied even though you didn't have a fever you didn't want to crush his feelings.
Blackberry rushed into the kitchen and made you the tea then started on the soup, as you sipped the tea you tried to have a calm conversation with Papyrus, but he was very good at sticking to his act you would have to bring them closer through more drastic means.
In an hour Blackberry finished the soup and after letting it cool you took a spoonful, it tasted really nice "it's really good Blackberry" you said "OF COURSE IT IS!" Blackberry declared, you held a spoonful out to Papyrus who almost jumped "try it Papy" you said, Blackberry gave a glare but Papyrus sighed as he took the spoonful in his mouth "mmm yes it's good M'Lord" he said, "just good" Blackberry asked.
Then Blackberry jumped as you offered him a spoonful "try some" you said, Blackberry blushed a deep purple colour before taking the spoonful "yes...it is good" he agreed then you stuck the spoon in your mouth "I like this taste better" you said making the brothers stare at you in confusion, you then took the spoon out "you both taste good together" you said both the brothers blushed darkly as they had given an indirect kiss making you laugh madly at their faces.
"Why can't you two just...be nice to each other?" you asked placing the soup on the table and standing up making them stare in silence "your brothers...your my friends" you said then you began to hum slightly as you remembered you can sing so why not try bringing them together with song?
"I have a brother
He's older than me
He'd roll out of bed in the morning
And he'd say 'Good morning' to me."
The two brothers stared in silence your voice was amazing, they wondered why you never said anything before.
"Drink tea with his sister.
And play with her too.
He'd go wherever I wanted...
And get in trouble for it.
Because he loved me."
A rush of memories was flooding to your once blank mind as you held back the tears at the sudden rush.
"I have a brother
I think you understand
How it feels to be loved
I swear I'd be a better sibling.
I listened to him
Cause I know how he hurts
When we lost our father we loved
Cause we didn't know right or wrong
And everything we loved got destroyed"
The two brothers continued listening they were quite close to each other, each understood that you needed to do this but noticed your tears.
"I have a brother
He would get a job
And try to be a hard worker.
So I'll see that he was a better sibling
He'd put his family first
And make them smile as he joked
But all I did was leave...
to leave bad memories behind. (behind)"
You didn't want to remember more it was too much, your face started heating up again as tears rolled down your face.
"I have a brother
I think I finally understand
How it feels to be loved
I swear I'd be a better daughter.
I'd listen to mom
Cause I know how she hurts
When we lost our father we loved
Cause we didn't know right or wrong
And everything we loved got destroyed
It's a little too late for me to go back.
Say it's just a mistake?
Think she'd forgive me like that?
If I thought she'd let me come back in...
I thought wrong..."
You gave a gentle laugh before you broke down into tears as the memories were too much, you missed home, you missed your dad...the sound of an opening portal made the brothers jump ready to defend and you look up spotting..."Ink?" you asked as Ink panted heavily obvious signs of tears in his eyes "thank the creator...I thought I would never find you" he said.
The brothers calmed down you rushed to Ink and hugged him tightly "please...I...I want to go home..." you said crying into his shoulder, Blackberry felt very jealous but he wasn't going to voice it...Ink gave a smile "that's where your going home" he said taking you back through the portal.
The both of you fell through the portal back in your home "Y/N?" a nervous female voice said bringing more tears to her eyes as she knew the sound of that voice, without thinking about Ink being there you jumped up and leapt into your mother giving her a tight hug as you cried "I'M SORRY!" you yelled tears falling down your face.
