Stretch, Underswap Papyrus, shifts the Christmas tree to plug it in. He puts the tree back and steps back. He smiles thinking that it all looks great. He has been living in Underfell with his lover for about a year.
This will be the first Christmas, as the humans put it, that they'll all be coming to Underfell.
Edge, Underfell Papyrus, comes over to Stretch sharing a smile with with his lover. He has been dating the other for two years though they've known each other for much longer. He puts an arm around the other who leans into the embrace. "You excited?"
"I am." Stretch nuzzles Edges cheek gaining a pleased rumble in response. "I really hope they'll like their Christmas gifts."
"I'm sure they will." Edge kisses Stretch's skull.
The two turn as a knock comes to the door.
"I got it." Edge moves away and heads to the front door. He peeks through the peep hole as a precaution. He smiles and unlocks the door opening it for the two there. "Hey you two." He lets them inside.
"Hey boss." Red, Underfell Sans, greets his brother who closes the door when the two are inside. He uses the 'boss' nickname out of habit that he can't seem to break after so many years of calling Edge that. "How have you been?" He has his arm around his lover Black, Swapfell Sans, who is leaning into the embrace. He had moved to Swapfell to live with his lover three years ago.
The two were the first to get together out of the skeletons of Underswap, Underfell, Undertale, and Swapfell. Red and Black have been as happy together as when they first got together six years ago.
"I've been good. You two have been good?" Edge inquires to his brother and Black as Stretch comes over to join them.
"We've been good." Black assures Edge as Red nods in agreement. "It's good to see you both."
"Same to you two." Red smiles to the two. "Are we the first ones to arrive?"
"Sure are." Edge confirms as they all head further inside the home to the living room.
"You guys did great with the tree." Red mentions seeing the well decorated tree there.
"Thanks. It was a lot of fun to put up." Stretch tells them with a smile on his face.
"It can be fun." Red agrees with a nod. "Slim and Basic went to pick up Blue and Classic. So those four will probably arrive all together."
Slim, Swapfell Papyrus, and Basic, Undertale Papyrus, have been bouncing between staying in Swapfell and Undertale not having been able to decide where to stay full time. Especially since Basic is training for the Undertale royal guard, but Slim still wanted to be there for his brother so they decided to meet in the middle. They only had gotten together a year ago but they really wanted to be living together to spend more time with each other.
On the other hand Blue, Underswap Sans, and Classic, Undertale Sans, have been staying in Underswap though they visit Undertale sometimes for a little bit. They decided on this since Blue is training to be an Underswap royal guard, and Classic doesn't mind living in Underswap with his partner of two years.
"That sounds good." Stretch nods and almost as if on cue there is another knock on the door. He gets up to go get it this time and indeed sees the other two couples so he opens the door letting them inside. "Hey!" He greets as the four come on inside.
"Hello brother!" Blue happily jump hugs his brother happy to see him again. "Hopefully everything has been going well for you here in Underfell." He grins to his brother.
"It is going well." Stretch confirms to his brother who looks rather happy to hear this. "What about you?"
"Alphys says that I am getting close to becoming a royal guard!" Blue excitedly tells his brother who gently puts him back on the ground.
"That's great!" Stretch leads them to the living room where the others are waiting for them. "Everyone is here!" He announces as they all happily greet each other.
After a little of exchanging pleasant conversations with each other they all gather around the tree so they can open presents from each other.
Edge and Red glance to each other when no one is looking to which Edge gives a soft nod to Red who smiles appreciatively before they turn back to the others.
"Who wants to go first?" Stretch brings up glancing around at everyone. He meets with the eye of his lover who nods to Red and Black. He turns to the two in agreement. "You two should go ahead."
"Okay." Red shifts and grabs two presents one a small box and the other is a bigger one. He hands the box to Black first. "I think you should open this one first." He suggests to his love as he sits on his knees by the other.
"Okay." Black agrees to do so as they all watch as he takes the present.
Edge has his camera out to record it all so they can always look back for the fond memories.
Black carefully tears off the wrapping paper to find a blue velvet jewlery box. He carefully opens it up revealing a beautiful diamond ring that makes him blush a little. He glances to Red who smiles a little nervously as their eyes meet with one another.
"Black. I love you so much that words cannot begin to describe it. I wanted to make this day very special for you, and to ask you a very important question that I have been wanting to ask you for a rather long time." Red gently cups Black's hands that are holding the base of the ring box. "Black. Will you marry me?"
Black's blush grows at the unexpected proposal. "Yes Red. I would be very happy to marry you!" He hugs Red happily who hugs him back with a big grin on both of their faces.
The others cheer happily for the newly engaged couple who chuckle warmly and happily.
After the celebration of the engagement they return to opening Christmas gifts.
It is indeed a very Merry Christmas for them all.
Bonus part:
Christmas. The one day of the year that Dream and Nightmare get together with those that stay with them in Outertale for a peaceful day.
Nightmare watches as Cross, X-tale Sans, goes with Dream who he had left Nightmare's group for. He sees them find a nice spot to exchange presents even sharing a kiss together. He turns away to spot Ink and Error hugging happily, the two have known each other for much longer than they have been in Dream and Nightmares groups. He swears that Error loves to sneak out to visit Ink who he started dating a year before the two groups came together. He turns again this time to see Blood, Horrortale Sans, and Dust, Dusttale Sans, cuddling as they happily feed each other some nicecream that they got from a stand. He turns away a final time to look this time to the stars. He closes his eyes with a sigh having secretly hated this holiday that he finds just stupid. He heads away going around a corner to be away from the lovey dovey couples. He mutters to himself about how dumb it all is.
"Boss?"
Nightmare stops as he hears an all too familiar voice. He glances back to see Killer approaching him. He finds that he can't scowl at the other, he can never give the other skeleton a true scowl. "What is it you want?" He questions the other. "Shouldn't you go find your love or something?" He then realizes that he doesn't actually know who Killer likes. He hasn't actually seen him with anyone so he really isn't sure who Killer is with.
"I'm not actually officially dating anyone." Killer admits causing Nightmare to actually be a bit surprised by this.
Nightmare had always thought that Killer already have someone to date. He thinks that the other is so great effortlessly becoming his second in command, someone who Nightmare is comfortable leaving in charge if he doesn't feel like leading them that day. He also finds that Killer always seems to know how to handle each member of the group like it is some talent of his, always knowing just what to do to help them out when they need it. He also will only admit it to himself but Killer has always been the one that was there for him; like when he woke up from a nightmare the one who came to check on him. "You don't?"
Killer shakes his head. "Nope." He confirms and Nightmare can see the honesty in the other despite him not having eyelights. He stuffs his hands into his pockets casually. "It is just me. What about you? I mean I haven't really seen you with anyone either."
"I don't need anyone." Nightmare isn't sure why but a small nagging voice inside tries to tell him that he is lying to himself. His eyes unable to leave Killer.
"Well maybe for today we could just hang out." Killer offers moving closer to Nightmare. "We don't really seem to have anything else to do."
"Fine." Nightmare agrees figuring that it is better than just wandering Outertale alone. He leads Killer who follows him until they find a nice spot where they sit to stare out at the visible galaxy at this spot. He glances to Killer who is sitting on his left as the other stares out to the galaxy that they can see. "Do you even have someone you like? I don't know like Outerswap Sans or something?"
Killer chuckles a little at the mention of the other. "Nah. He is a good friend but between you and me he is a bit too needy. A decent friend. Not really someone I could see myself getting together with."
Nightmare nods to this.
"I do actually like someone though." Killer admits still staring out at the galaxy.
Nightmare isn't sure why he feels sadness that Killer actually does like someone. "Oh? Why haven't you asked them out then?"
Killer shrugs and glances down almost as if a little sad. "Honestly. I don't really think he likes me back. At least not in the way that I like him." He turns to Nightmare when the other places a hand on his shoulder.
"Well then you're probably better than him. You probably deserve better than him." Nightmare has found that he does care for Killer who was the first one that he had allowed to join his group, the whole reason he had let the others join the group against Dreams own. He finds that he had hoped to see Killer find his happiness with someone… He just doesn't understand this longing inside of him… It couldn't be… Could it? He pushes that thought away for now. He doesn't see any use in dwelling on it.
Killer smiles at Nightmare at hearing this. "I doubt that it is easy to get better than him." He sees the other give him an inquisitive look. "He is the most amazing other that I have ever met. I just accepted that I'll probably never be with him. No matter how much I want to. He doesn't really seem all that interested in me."
"Who is it?" Nightmare questions wondering if he should have a word with whoever it is. He wonders if he can help Killer in getting the one that he wants. He supposes that it is the least he can do for the other after all that Killer had done for him.
Killer blinks at Nightmare. "Take a wild guess." He invites with a small smile on his face.
Nightmare frowns and tries to think through the worlds that they have visited but not destroyed.
Underswap, Undertale, Underfell, Swapfell, Outertale, Outerswap…
Nightmare finds that he can't really think of anyone that he had ever seen Killer really be interested in as he thinks of the different worlds. He pauses his thoughts as he notices that Killer is looking at him with a blush and half open eyes. He finds his own blush coming to his face as it dawns on him who Killer is talking about. "You… Like me?" He watches as Killer nods blushing a little more. He can't stop staring at the other who turns away as they are both still blushing.
"But it is okay boss. I understand that you don't like me in that way. I am not going to force things. I am happy being your second in command." Killer assures Nightmare then blinks when one of Nightmare's tentacles wraps around him touching his cheek gently.
Nightmare feels heavy relief wash over him and something shining through the negativity he is used to. He swears that it is like some kind of ray of sunshine that is breaking through the darkness within him. He gently encourages Killer to look to him then leans in clicking their mouths together in a kiss.
Their eyes close as they enjoy the kiss together for a little bit before pulling away. Their eyes opening and looking at each other with happiness mixed with love.
"And here I was worried that you had actually liked someone else or was with someone else already." Nightmare admits to Killer who listens. "I figured someone like you already had a line out the door of those who wanted to be with you."
"Well even if I did none of them could never be as great as you are in my eyes." Killer then gets another kiss from Nightmare as their hands sitting on the ground between them link together.
Both feeling complete fully and truly. They pause and turn hearing some cheering only to see Dream and Cross watching them from around the corner.
Dream gives Nightmare a thumbs up before Cross manages to pull him away and they leave the two alone.
Nightmare doesn't doubt that Dream will be going and spreading the word right about now. He sighs at this then turns to Killer who chuckles warmly at this. He finds himself smiling as if Killers happiness is infectious to him. "Merry Christmas." He says before giving his boyfriend a kiss.
"Merry Christmas." Killer mentions in return as he kisses the other back.
The end.
AN:
I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
I hope you enjoyed this that I just made quick because I really wanted to give you all something.
Kitkat.
