After the near heart attack you realize that this is your new room for your start at college life. You chuckle a bit from mistaking your new room for a complete strangers.
Glancing around everything was as you left it...wait is the closet door open?
Could have sworn it was closed
As it your interest peaked in the closet door situation you stretch and make your way out of bed.
It was going to take a few days to get used to your new home but once things were unpacked and organized it would settle the nerves.
As soon as your feet hit the ground there was a loud knock at your door.
Y/N! I VE MADE BREAKFAST! IF YOU WANT ANY COME DOWN BEFORE THE REST THEM WAKE UP! Blue s jovial tone was only slightly muffled by your door.
You were pleasantly surprised that the skeletons didn t seem to follow one of their stipulations for you. You were under the impression that once you got the room you were to really keep to yourself unless invited to a movie night or something. That changed after keeping in touch with them after signing your papers for the room.
I ll be down in a moment Blue! You call out to him only to hear an angry knocking from Red s room.
Blue! Can it! It ain t even seven in tha damn mornin for cryin out loud! Red s growl had you worried you overstepped already.
Sorry Red! You say just loud enough for your neighbor to hear.
Doll, I could listen ta yer voice all day. My problem is cream puff announcin ta tha world Before he can continue his rant he s startled by another muffled booming voice.
YOU SHOULD BE UP ANYWAYS! GET YOUR LAZY ASS UP NOW! .wow you can hear Edge from his room on the other side of Red s.
UM WELL BREAKFAST IS READY! Blue states then you hear him run down the stairs okay he just left you alone with a grouchy duo sounds like a problem only coffee can fix.
Quickly throwing on some pj bottoms and make yourself at least presentable but morning casual okay not zombie but definitely just woke up You slip on some socks and make your way to the door.
Opening your door you are greeted by a happy Papyrus.
OH Y/N! I THOUGHT I COULD ESCORT YOU TO BREAKFAST! His grin could melt the coldest of hearts.
Such a gentleman! you state giving him a warm smile as he blushes momentarily before striking a pose.
BUT OF COURSE! THE FINEST GENTLEMAN AROUND! He puffs out his chest and extends his arm to you.
So he was quite literally going to escort you arm in arm you re not blushing not blushing passing by a mirror hung the stairwell confirmed that you were indeed blushing You don t know how you feel about being caught in a lie to yourself by an inanimate object.
Reaching the kitchen you were greeted by a warm inviting smell of deliciousness. Berry was flipping some pancakes as Blue was setting eggs and bacon on the table.
Actually there was already quite the spread already on the overflowing table. French toast, hash browns, biscuits, variety of cooked eggs from poached to scrambled, variety of breakfast meats, fruit, granola, yoghurt, waffles and now the growing stack of pancakes.
This looks amazing! You say taking it all in. It was a feast all spread out before you.
OF COURSE IT IS AND AS LONG AS YOU GET UP IN TIME YOU MAY PARTAKE AS WELL! Berry shoots you a smirk
WE MAKE A VARIETY BECAUSE OUR BROTHERS NORMALLY CAN T DECIDE ON ONE THING FOR US TO MAKE OR TRY TO OPT OUT OF A HEALTHY BREAKFAST. Blue sighs
Did you help make this Papyrus? You watched the poor dear start fumbling with his hands looking nervous.
AND DIE IN A BLAZE!? I THINK NOT! Berry glares at the wincing Papyrus.
SORRY PAPY BUT WE CAN T ALWAYS WATCH YOU AND EDGE IN THE KITCHEN. Blue smiles sympathetically at Paps.
BUT DEEP DOWN I HAVE THE FIERY PASSION OF A TRUE CHEF! He defends leaving Berry scowling and Blue sweating.
Well that might explain the scorch marks over the stove and if both Edge and Papyrus are that bad you might have gotten yourself in a pickle wanting to try what they want to make.
DON T WORRY PAP I CAN ALWAYS HELP YOU BUT THESE AREN T MONSTER APPLIANCES WE NEED TO WORK GENTLY WITH THEM. You see Blues gaze also shoot to the marks confirming your suspicions.
BUT I HAVE PROMISED FRIENDSHIP SPAGHETTI Papyrus turns downcast and immediately your heart began to break. This seemed important for him to share with you but being banned from doing so? How bad was he actually?
Berry shakes his head in disgust from the gentle telling off from Blue Yep these edgy boys were not one to soften the blow from what you gathered. Still was he that unteachable or did they even try?
You know what Pap? getting the poor downcast skelly s attention.
I m no chef myself but I could make my family s signature spaghetti sometime and show you how I make it. That way I can have something that reminds me of home and it will be a new friendship spaghetti for you.. Honestly it was just pasta and ragu pasta sauce that your mom would add things to while she heated it up in a saucepan but hey beggars couldn t be choosers. Yet Papyrus seems to brighten with a sparkle in his sockets that you can t help but grin fondly over.
It might be a more simplified version of spaghetti but we always put a secret ingredient in our recipe. Makes it super special without the need for fiery passion. Okay now you ve got the other two s interest as Papyrus nearly explodes with excitement.
It was over nothing. Literally nothing and you look a little embarrassed but it was something that your mother and you had done since you were a child and hadn t stopped since. Your mom would add her love to it by taking a small measuring cup and making a scooping motion towards her chest and act like she was pouring it over the sauce. When you asked what she was doing she laughed and said I m just adding my love but you don t need to add much because even a little can go a long way. Since then you ve done this yourself or helped when you ve cooked with your mom. Your dad would even play along when he got home by saying his stomach and his heart were full with each meal. Man you and your folks were dorks but when you re happy who cares? Your brother was probably one... he didn t like what he thought was a love smothering atmosphere and would never bring his friends to dinner or over really. Your friends had been with you since childhood and were used to it and loved to add to it if your brother happened to be there for dinner. Seeing him squirm made it all the better. Who knew you could use honest love and affection so evilly.
A SECRET INGREDIENT!? He s so happy his bones are rattling.
Yep! Too late to back out now but you are definitely sure he d enjoy it.
UM You feel a tug on your shirt as Blue gets your attention.
You okay Blue? Worried that you might have overstepped your bounds.
CAN I JOIN YOU IN MAKING FRIENDSHIP SPAGHETTI? THAT IS OF COURSE IF THIS WASN T AN ACTIVITY FOR JUST YOU AND PAPYRUS He seemed to regret asking at the end as if it might have been something special just for you and Papyrus.
Before you could even tell him, that he d be welcome to join, Papyrus beats you to it.
BUT OF COURSE! WHAT IS FRIENDSHIP SPAGHETTI WITHOUT FRIENDS? THE MORE THE MERRIER! Paps shouted with glee raising his arms wide for emphasis
Blue looks to you unassured but when you nod he seems just as electrified as Papyrus.
SO WHAT TIME DO YOU PLAN ON COOKING? Berry asks but you see the motive. He wants to know so he will be there as well.
Well I You weren t planning on doing it today but all three were waiting patiently... well except Berry with him tapping his foot. You had a lot of stuff to do today what with the daunting task of unpacking already on your list but you had wanted to go to the school to see if your schedule was ready.
M lord, she probably didn t mean today. Your eyes snap to Russ sitting nonchalantly at the kitchen table.
When the devil did he get here? I didn t even see him walk in. Thinking to yourself as you stared on in stupor making him wink at you.
Flushing you immediately turn towards Berry to block him out of your line of sight man this skeleton was going to be the death of you if he was that stealthy.
Yeah, sorry guys but maybe sometime this week once I get everything squared away. I also need to go and get some food shopping in as well. Berry rolls his eyes and walks to another door in the kitchen and just about flings it open.
Wow a walk in pantry...should have seen that coming. In the back are a couple of freezers as well.
WE DO NOT MIND SHARING AS LONG AS WHATEVER YOU MAKE IS SHARED WITH US. Berry has a slight ruddy tint on his cheek bones as he gestures to pantry.
NOT REALLY Y/N, YOU CAN HELP YOURSELF. Blue whispers to you as Berry is explaining what and where is residing in the pantry.
Blue I can t just take your food. I mean thank you but I insist I pay for my own stuff. I wouldn t really be learning to live on my own having everything handed to me. Blue frowns a bit as you explain.
Yep, honey s gotta earn things for herself Blue but for the record we won t let you starve should that ever come up. Orange has also seemingly come out of thin air sitting across from Russ.
You look from the table to the doorway and yep you d definitely would have noticed him walk in. When you turn back around you nearly jump seeing sans and red have also joined the table. Everyone at the table seems to be chuckling in amusement at your panicked confusion.
Papyrus sighs and helps you to your seat as you seem stunned trying to figure out how this even happened.
Mornin kiddo! How d ya sleep San s smile is wider and slightly mischievous.
Huh? Oh I uh slept fine...a little awkward at first but that s just from being someplace new. You are still slightly dazed...It s too early for this...Where s the coffee?
Doing a headcount you notice that there is someone missing.
Where s Edge? You gaze around the kitchen not seeing the tall spiky skeleton anywhere.
Sans stiffens and glares at Red...to which Red doesn t make eye contact and starts to sweat
Red, he better not be trying to get into the attic again. A very sharp tone coming from the laid back skeleton seems to have everyone (Save Papyrus) a little on edge.
Boss is just curious. He says with a shrug...that apparently wasn t the correct answer.
And with that I ll be right back. and instantly he was gone and you hadn t realized you jumped out of your seat with a yelp.
Everyone stares at you...some in concern...the others in scrutiny judging what you planned on doing next.
Did Sans just disappear? What happened? Is he going to be okay? You see the room relax when you show your own concern for the now gone Sans.
It s just magic honey. Something that only me, Russ, Red, and Sans do in this instance. Orange tries to calm you.
So...where is he? Still not sure because sans isn t in front of you for you to tell if he s alright or not.
As if to answer your question you hear stomping down the hall and in walks Edge with sans at a leisurely stroll behind him.
I M TELLING YOU THAT I HEARD NOISES LAST NIGHT ONCE AGAIN IN THE ATTIC! I AIM TO SEE WHAT YOU HAVE UP THERE! Edge yells at a non caring sans.
For the last time, what you heard was either a squirrel or a raccoon getting into the attic. I have very important things that need to be left alone up there and that s that. Sans smile is tight and his eye sockets eerily blank making Edge falter a bit. Sans then makes his way back to the table.
BUT IF IT S AN ANIMAL Edge tries again.
I can handle a little pest control what I can t handle is someone going through and misplacing the order of everything up there. Plus the fact you going into my room to get to the attic. Now sit and enjoy your breakfast. Apparently talking to Edge like a child only made him even more stubborn.
I WILL FIGURE OUT THE PUZZLE YOU HAVE ON THE DOOR! YOU WON T BE ABLE TO KEEP ME OUT FOR LONG! Edge screams at him making everyone (save sans) flinch.
You mean the four digit code lock? Knock yourself out. Sans rolls his eyes.
I WAS VERY CLOSE TO SOLVING IT UNTIL YOU APPEARED! Edge stamps his foot in frustration making Red glare at sans.
*Flashback*
I THE GREAT AND TERRIBLE PAPYRUS SHALL SOLVE YOU ONCE AND FOR ALL! YOU INFERNAL CONTRAPTION!
He grasps the lock tightly and smirks. His plan is absolutely foolproof.
He then pushes a button 4 times in rapid succession.
1111 .DAMN! 1112...DAMN! 1113? DAMN IT!
For crying out loud edge! Get out of my room!
*End of Flashback*
Yeah, Whatever you say pal. Sans rolls his eyes again. While everyone else seemed to be just as curious when the attic was brought up. You could tell that Orange seemed to keep his eyes on sans through the whole argument. Russ seemed to look unfazed but his eye lights seemed sharper and more focused.
It s funny really because you could ve sworn you heard something upstairs above you the other night as well but you decided not to bring it up. It probably was just a squirrel or something.
So you instead decide to fill your plate which was intimidating with all the choices you had to choose from. Decisions man decisions.
So what are your plans today kiddo? Sans inquires
Oh! Well I need to stop by the campus to see if my schedule is ready, some food shopping, and lastly but most importantly unpacking. Well it did ease the tension as the others seemed curious about your day as well.
Sounds like a full day for ya. Sans grins warmly and you send a smile back with a nod.
CAN I GO WITH YOU!? Blue asks with stars in his eye sockets...adorable...completely adorable. Stop blushing everyone is staring.
Um...If you want too. Honestly I hear campus is going to be very loud and bustling with people starting to move in to the dorms You see the stars fade from his sockets and quickly amend.
But I wouldn t mind the company though. You throw out there and suddenly the stars were back. Thank goodness it s too much heartache seeing the sweet ones crushed so easily.
Count me in to sweetheart. Red winks at you.
You? You want to go with honey and my brother? Orange seems skeptical of reds motives.
Ya sure why not? Ain t left the house in days I can show her some good spots round town. His grin is getting wider and sharper leaving Orange unsettled.
Yeah...hey Blue? Orange calls out to his brother his gaze not leaving Red.
YES? Blue promptly replies.
Since he s going you need to be on big brother alert. Orange smirks making red raise a brow bone in curiousness.
RIGHT! Blue says with an almost comical serious face like a switch had been flipped.
Oh come on we re all adults here No need fer ya ta be a nanny. Red nags Blue but Blue is definitely not having it.
JUST WHAT A MISCHIEVOUS NO GOOD RASCAL WOULD SAY BEFORE GETTING INTO TROUBLE! Blues serious face is starting to get a little unnerving now. This was the skeleton that looked to be crushed had you said he couldn t go with you?
The fuc Red didn t get to far before a blue aura surrounded him and shoved him face first into his breakfast. The culprit was Blue with his hand raised also glowing a faint blue and Red was still being held there.
HONESTLY RED!? CURSING!? NOT AT THE TABLE AND ESPECIALLY NOT WITH A LADY PRESENT! Blue scolds.
Edge is chuckling at his brothers expense making Red flounder. Papyrus is fidgeting nervously as sans seems highly amused at the ordeal.
You send a questioning look to Orange. Blue has let others cuss before and only scolded Berry so why now Red?
Blue doesn t like foul language but has a tendency to let it slide...just not from those who are older and supposed to be responsible. With big brother mode activated it intensifies. Orange chuckles at red still in imbedded in his breakfast.
Deactivate it! Red struggles with his mouth full of food.
AND REALLY MUST WE ASK YOU TO CHEW YOUR FOOD!? Berry scoffs obviously revolted at the sight.
Russ looks at his brother warily...perhaps Berry has a big brother mode as well.
I SCOLD SANS SOMETIMES BUT IT DOESN T AMOUNT TO ANYTHING Papyrus confides to you.
Like the sock? You ask and suddenly there was an uproar
STARS YES! SANS PLEASE! WE HAVE A LADY IN OUR HOME NOW! IT IS QUITE INDECENT! Papyrus rounds on sans.
INDEED! I WAS ALMOST ASHAMED HAVING HER PARENTS OVER WITH IT LYING OUT IN THE OPEN! Edge backs Papyrus up.
WHAT KIND OF MONSTERS WOULD THEY HAVE TAKEN US FOR HAD I NOT COVERED IT WITH A SMALL BLANKET!? Berry responds furiously and now Sans seems a little uncomfortable.
CERTAINLY NOT THE KIND TO LEAVE THEIR DAUGHTER BEHIND WITH! Blue jumps into the fray making Sans start to sweat from the pressure.
Um...couldn t one of you just picked it up? You interjected not quite sure why this was such a horrible article of clothing to have just lying around.
All four rounded on you and said simultaneously
THAT S DISGUSTING! looking so very appalled that you were sure you jumped a bit in your seat.
Is this a monster thing about socks? If so I m sorry that I didn t know and especially since I came down with just socks on my feet...If its bad I can go and put some shoes on. You stammer out only to find they were all blushing now and fidgeting. Well except Red and Russ. Red looked like he was drooling in excess still buried in the food and Russ on the other hand
What kind ya wearin darlin ? He makes a motion to look under the table but a blue aura held him as Blue tutted.
It s like leaving a pair of dirty underwear out honey. Orange chuckles at you yet still blushing.
Sans finally shrugs his face almost completely blue.
Okay, I ll pick up the sock. his gaze not meeting yours in fact anywhere but yours.
Sorry guys I ll go grab some slippers. With that you get up from the table slightly embarrassed from the faux pas in not choosing your slippers this morning.
EYES ON THE TABLE! You heard Blue scolding them and you knew not to to look back. You were to embarrassed at this point to know what they were doing.
Practice what you preach short stack! You hear Red snark back you start to walk a bit faster.
Surprised ya even saw us lookin what with ya all distracted by darlin s choice of footwear. You hear Russ chuckle at Blue.
The others seem to be silent in mortification or chuckling.
I...I DON T KNOW WHAT YOU RE TALKING ABOUT! Blue sounds mortified...either at being caught or from their insinuating you couldn t tell and as you made your way down the hall. The last thing you heard before bounding up the stairs in embarrassment
Blue? I thought you were in big brother mode...tsk brother tsk. Hearing a teasing Orange and a sudden slam...well you wouldn t be surprised if Orange was picking food off his face when you came back down.
All this over socks...Welp there goes some of your relaxing days wearing socks around the house. You now made it a priority to get some more bedroom slippers before fall and winter set in.
