Chapter 23: Bird date
"Come on can't I come?" Chris asked as you sighed "fine...but just this once...and I know the perfect world to take you" you said as you grabbed his hand, "uh so where is the p-portal...cause I can't see it" Chris replied you gave him a kind smile "just keep a hold of my hand..." you said leading him forward and passing through the portal,
before he could panic at you vanishing into nothing he closed his eyes as he passed through.
"You can open them" you said as Chris heard sounds of chirping birds and flapping wings, he opened his eyes as they widened, everywhere was so...beautiful.
Monsters had bird like wings of all shapes and sizes, he also spotted humans having a casual conversation "hang around out here...I'm gonna hang with Raven" you told him starting to walk off, leaving your stunned brother far behind toward Raven's tree...you quite liked Raven...even IF he kidnapped you that one time.
You suddenly felt someone lift you up immediately you yelped in surprise closing your eyes tightly, "aw...sorry I scared ya Dove" a familiar voice said, you cracked an eye open seeing it was just Raven you sighed "seriously Raven?" you asked, "what?" Raven asked holding you bridal style.
"Do you HAVE to sneak kidnap me?" you asked as Raven chuckled "not really kidnapping if I know ya" he replied as you sighed soon realising how he was holding you brought a blush onto your face, "uh...R-Raven...as nice as this is...maybe you can not hold me like this?" you asked praying he wouldn't be such a tease.
Raven seemed to notice your nervous voice "oh...sure I'm sorry if uh...it-it is uncomfortable" he replied instantly nervous making you sigh as he placed you down, you could finally calm your heart from beating "so where would you like to go?" Raven asked, you stared at him for a moment "oh...well you can decide" you said since you didn't know this world too well.
"Hmm...I know I'll take ya to Grillby's" Raven said as he grabbed your hand in his and started to lead you deep into town "Raven...why do you live away from the town?" you asked, "ah well...I like my privacy...some monsters really like to snoop" Raven replied, you gave a small smile "was this before or...after...Papyrus" you asked hoping Raven didn't feel offended.
Raven didn't seem to mind though his mood did change "after..." he replied simply, "I'm sorry...I shouldn't mention it" you told him Raven turned to you and smiled "it's okay...your only curious, I don't mind really" he said seeming truthful, you gave him a small smile as he resumed the walk to Grillby's.
Soon you arrived at what looked like a monster bar, though you noticed humans too inside, it was quite homely with stools by the bar and tables with chairs at the side and a jukebox at the back, Raven led you straight up to the stools he had his wings fully closed so he didn't take up a lot of space, you sat on the stool beside him "Grillbz two glasses of water please" Raven called.
You noticed the fire monster nod silently, at first you couldn't see any signs of wings until you noticed his wings were made of fire...which was confusing...though also amazing, "Raven...why aren't your wings made of bone?" you asked actually curious Raven blinked and shrugged "maybe because bones can't fly...oh wait I can" he said chuckling slightly, "my dad had bone wings but my mom had feathered ones, me and my bro inherited the feathered ones...which I prefer...dad said because his were made of bone he couldn't really fly" Raven replied.
Soon Grillby returned with the water, you took a small sip "what was your dad like?" you asked, Raven stared but looked away slightly "I'd...rather not talk about him...we uh...weren't close, then when...Paps died...even less so..." he replied, you frowned "I'm...sorry" you said...gosh you were terrible Raven gave you a kind smile "it's okay Dove...I'll forgive ya...for a price" Raven said, you sighed though a tad worried what the price was "w-what is it?" you asked.
"You'll give it to me at the end of our date, so what would you like to do after this?" Raven asked, you gave a smile "I want to go back to that mountain" you said, Raven stared..."why?" he asked "well...I want to draw you something" you said, Raven blinked but smiled "okay...Grillbz, can I get a box of fries to go please" Raven asked as Grillby once again silently nodded before heading to the back.
After an hour you and Raven were back at the mountain, no matter how much Raven tried to peak you wouldn't allow him to look "tell me more about Papyrus..." you said interested in hearing about his brother, since you will never meet him "Paps was sweet, he woulda liked ya Dove...he was brave, smart...the best skelebird bro in the whole multiverse" Raven said, you giggled "wouldn't he be the ONLY skelebird brother in the multiverse?" you asked "nah...there are other bird AU's out there"
Raven replied.
You hummed...you didn't want to upset Raven by getting a new skeleton bird friend...you would have to avoid those AU's in the future "I think I'm almost done" you said grabbing a fry and chewing on it "yep..." you said handing the pad to Raven, he took it and his eyes widened...it was Papyrus...his brother...not exactly but...an attempt to draw someone who was long gone in this world, he began to tear up.
"D-Dove...y-ya...*sniff* didn't have ta...do this" Raven said unable to stop his tears, you gave a soft smile "I...wanted to give you something that...would keep you company when I'm not here" you said, Raven wiped his eye sockets "aw Dove, your sweet...well...guess I will accept this instead of the other price" he said, you frowned you were a little curious what he was going to make you give him "what was it going to be?" you asked, Raven hid his face slightly "nothing important Dove"
he replied.
You then just remembered "OH NO!" you yelled shocking Raven "what?" he asked "I forgot about my brother" you said, "what?" Raven asked.
You and Raven arrived back at the portal soon you spotted Chris close by you rushed up to him "you okay bro?" you asked, "yeah I'm fine...uh who's this then?" Chris asked as you looked back to Raven "oh this is Raven, Raven this is Chris my brother" you said, Chris held out his hand "nice to meet you Raven" he said Raven carefully accepted the handshake...he wasn't quite brave around new people.
"Ready to head home?" you asked Chris as he nodded "yeah...I feel kinda tired" he said, "yeah that's first time for ya" you said "see you later Raven" you said grabbing Chris's hand and leading him through the portal back home, Raven held the drawing of Papyrus close, "see...you..." he whispered as he flew back home to his tree...at least he felt less alone.
