Hi, I'm back! A little later than I first planned, but real life swept me away this week. I'm actually in the process of drawing a few scenes from this story, it's a lot of fun and great practice. I'll post the pictures on my DeviantArt account as I make them. And I also want to thank you who favourite and follow my story, I'm really glad you like it thus far. Oh, and special thanks to AnonymousIsSleepy for being the first one to review.
Don't by shy on telling what you want to see more of. I'm open to all suggestions.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Soft crunches comes from the snow as Byakuran walks through Snowdin, a comfortable smile on his face as he looks around. Without hesitating, as if he has done it many times already, he ducks his head slightly to let a stray snowball sail over him and then continues walking like nothing happened. The people around Byakuran are cheerful and lively in this wonderful weather, no snow storm and as bright as it can get here in Underground without a sun present. Byakuran says hello to the playing children before he walks up to the door of a large wooden house, knocking on the door gently.
After a few seconds, the door is opened by a tall skeleton wearing his 'Battle body' and a red scarf around his neck. The skeleton immediately brightens up when he sees who it is and the human holds up his hand in greeting, thus also stopping the skeleton from making a loud exclamation like he usually does.
"Yah, Papyrus-kun. I heard you have someone interesting staying in your home. Would you mind if I meet them?"
Papyrus quickly shakes his head, stepping aside and seems to brighten up even further at the thought of inviting Byakuran into his house. Byakuran understands why he's reacting like that. The reason why he had his hood up is so that monsters won't recognise him immediately. He wants to know how the skeleton brothers reacted to what he did before. Of course, getting praises and stopping to write autographs has never bothered him in Snowdin, but he would rather not be stopped on his way here today.
"OF COURSE YOU CAN MEET THE HUMAN! I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, HAVE BECOME THE HUMANS VERY FIRST FRIEND IN THIS WORLD. I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THE HUMAN IS VERY FRIENDLY."
Byakuran laughs softly as he steps inside, pulling down his hood with the smile never leaving his face. Byakuran finds it amusing how brave yet naive and friendly Papyrus can be. After all, he tried to lie to Undyne about what his friend looked like, from what Byakuran has found out. Key word being tried since that plan didn't succeed because the kid wore a tutu just like Papyrus guessed they would wear. He had his heart in the right place though. Byakuran has met Undyne and she is not a pushover, far from it. And even less of a pushover now compared to before Byakuran came.
"That sounds nice. You are one of the best friends anyone can have so I'm sure the kid is very happy over it."
Papyrus strikes a proud pose with a slight blush on his cheeks, pointing at himself with a clothed thumb as a wind comes from nowhere to flap his cape. He controls it with magic. Byakuran hangs up his hooded vest as well as his scarf in the meantime, he doesn't need them when it's warm inside the house.
"INDEED! IT IS A GREAT PRIVILEGE TO BE FRIENDS WITH SUCH A COOL PERSON AS MYSELF."
When Byakuran turns back around towards Papyrus, the human has to back away slightly to not be hit in the face when Papyrus pointing dramatically at him out of nowhere. This makes Byakuran chuckle slightly, Papyrus always end up amusing him in different ways.
"THAT REMINDS ME! YOU, TOO ARE A VERY GREAT FRIEND BYAKURAN!"
"How so?" The human asks back, chuckling again as Papyrus pulls away his hand to put it against his chest.
"BECAUSE YOU KNEW THE HUMAN HAD BECOME MY FRIEND, YOU TOLD THE WORLD THAT THE HUMAN IS THE PERSON FROM THE PROPHECY, EVEN WHEN IT CLEARLY IS YOU! THAT IS A SIGN OF SOMEONE WHO CARES FOR EVERYONE, NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE!"
Byakuran holds up his hand in dismissal, still smiling as he closes his eyes kindly. That is the reason why he came after all. He hasn't met the child this time but even so said that they aren't dangerous to any monster. As well as a few other things. He's curious to how the skeletons will react. Especially Sans.
"You give me too much credit Papyrus-kun. I'm really not a prophecy person. They are really similar to angels so it might as well be them."
"AHA!" Papyrus hits a fist into his palm, face brightening up as if he just realised something genius. "OR PERHAPS IT IS THE ANGELS WHO ARE SIMILAR TO THE HUMANS. BOTH YOU AND THE HUMAN HAVE SIMILAR BODY WITH SQUISHY, PALE FLESH. THE ONLY THING THE HUMAN IS MISSING IS WHITE HAIR, A PAIR OF WINGS LIKE YOU HAVE AND YOU WOULD BE THE SAME!"
Byakuran glances back at the wings sticking out from his back, his serious purple eyes opening slightly as he observes them. They aren't as large as they'll be 10 years from now, but they are very useful. The wings have more uses than only making him fit into this world. He simply came up with a lie that his monster blood was too hard to hide and that he came here in hope of finding 'his own people'. Then they started to praise him after some prophecy they have. He's not complaining, it did make it easier to stay in Underground, and performing in those TV shows are actually kind of fun.
Byakuran is brought out from his musings when he senses someone move towards him, so he easily close his eyes and wears his cheerful demeanour once again as he looks in the direction the movement is coming from. It's Sans with the child trailing behind him, both of them who previously sat on the couch. The little child still has its pink, blue striped shirt but has a jacket similar to the one Sans is wearing, only a darker blue colour, over it. Sans is tense, staring at Byakuran as if it will reveal all his secrets. Sans knows that Byakuran is hiding something, something important. He has this nagging feeling in the back of his skull that something is wrong with that 'angel', that he's a lot more secretive than what he seems. Byakuran didn't know that the human was with them, he's never met the human before. He was at his show when the human came to Snowdin and became friends with Papyrus. Byakuran couldn't have possibly answered those questions about them so perfectly without having met the child. But if he did meet the human, Sans would have known. And saying that the child is the one from the prophecy, is it really to make monsters more comfortable with them or is it to give Byakuran more time to do something else? Byakuran feels more dangerous than he seems in Sans opinion, but he's still nice company even with his suspicious but open nature. Sometimes it's just hard to understand what's going through that guy's head.
"hey, Byakuran. nice show you did back there." Sans comments, not letting any of his suspicion show in his voice. But Byakuran notices how the skeleton is tense and comes to the conclusion that Sans is becoming slightly wary of him. After all, the human child doesn't wear one of Sans jackets out of coincidence. He must know about It then. But Byakuran likewise doesn't let any of his true amusement or curiosity show to the skeleton but only nods cheerfully, doing a small, playful salute.
"How nice, on a skele from 1 to ton?"
Sans chuckles and shakes his head at Byakuran's attempt to make a pun, it wasn't half bad but not that good either. Byakuran has taken up those jokes pretty nicely since they started hanging out.
"well, I was going to say you got an updog for that performance, but after your bad pun I would say it wasn't…" He shows off the remote Sans is holding in his hand with his grin growing. "remotely funny."
Byakuran chuckles slightly at the joke, shrugging in apology. Byakuran isn't and has never been really good with coming up with puns like Sans do, but he's at least trying. And those jokes are actually very funny. If he never tries, he'll never be able to annoy Bluebell or Kikyo with some of those jokes. They hate those kind of jokes and it would be fun to see their reaction if such a joke came from Byakuran.
Papyrus, having heard the beginning of a bad pun once again, waves to Byakuran to not ask what he wants to ask. Byakuran sees Papyrus's reaction and gets even more amused by being in the brother's presence. They are opposites but still fit together so well, those two. And he has heard this joke before so he plays along with Sans for this one. Papyrus reaction to it is always amusing to Byakuran.
"I try. But what's updog?"
Sans grin grows, knowing that Byakuran is with on his joke and prepares to say the punch line when Papyrus quickly covers his brother's mouth. The taller skeleton has a strained smile on his face and quickly changes the conversation topic. Papyrus is quite displeased that Byakuran started to pick up on his brother's jokes even when they aren't that funny. At least the angel isn't joking like that around any other monster than Sans, but he has actually gotten better, or worse in Papyrus's opinion, at making jokes only this last week they haven't seen him.
"THAT IS NOT IMPORTANT! LET US START THE INTRODUCTION! HUMAN," Papyrus turns towards the human child, still holding one of his gloved hands over his brothers mouth. Sans is very amused that Papyrus would go so far to make him stop that joke and glances over towards Byakuran. The 'angel' has gotten better. But how could he have gotten better in a week where he hasn't met Sans? Researching jokes isn't really effective here in underground, you need experience.
"THIS IS ANOTHER ONE OF MY COOL FRIENDS, BYAKURAN! OF COURSE, YOU ALREADY KNOW OF HIM SINCE HE WAS ON TV, BUT I SHALL NEVER FAIL IN INTRODUCING ONE FRIEND OF MINE TO ANOTHER. HE'S THE ONLY ANGEL MONSTER WE HAVE IN UNDERGROUND AND IS ALSO THE PERSON FROM OUR ANCIENT PROPHECY! BECAUSE HE CAME FROM THE SURFACE, LIKE YOU! I THINK I HAVE HIS TALE RECORDED IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE."
The child nods, looking up at Byakuran with a bright smile. The child doesn't really pay attention to what Papyrus is saying, as if they already know all of that. When Papyrus is finished with the 'introduction', Byakuran opens his eyes and smile warmly at the child, as if he's one of their best friends and are now seeing each other again after a long time.
"Hi there. It's great to have a human down here, especially someone kind. Right?"
The child nods, smile growing brighter as they rush forward to give Byakuran a hug. The man chuckles softly, crouching down so he can hug the child back properly. Papyrus is confused by this sudden show of affection but then smiles as he comes up with a thought. Even though skeletons are similar to humans in shape, this angel is a lot more similar to how they can ever be. The human child is simply overjoyed to finally meet someone similar to them, even if they're a monster.
But Sans doesn't get quite as happy nor shrug it off so easily as Papyrus does. He gets the sense of Deja Vu, that Sans has seen the two humans hug like this before. Now he really knows that something is up with Byakuran, no one can act like that to a total stranger. It really does seem like they've known each other longer than just a few minutes. At the first chance he gets, he'll need to have a small talk with Byakuran on what is up.
Once the hug is over, Byakuran holds the child's shoulders gently as he looks at them. The child hasn't changed one bit since they last met, same kindness and same determination in their eyes.
"Well, I suppose I can't deny a hug from someone as similar as I. What's your name little chosen one?"
Not once has the human child answered that question, but has only spoken when they've absolutely needed to. They never found it necessary for others to know their name. But Byakuran… Byakuran is different than the others. He's like the child themselves. So the child opens their mouth timidly to answer that question, looking away from Byakuran with their cheeks getting slightly red in embarrassment.
"F-Frisk…."
The bright smile on Byakuran's face makes saying their name absolutely worth anything in the world according to Frisk. He really does look an angel with such soft smile and bright purple eyes.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I'm keeping Frisk gender neutral in this story, or at least do my best to keep it that way. If you see any 'he' or 'she', then I'm sorry about that. I'm also sorry for my bad puns, I'm not English speaking but I try my best.
Hey, if you feel like it, can you send me some good puns I can use? I'm not good at them myself...
But thank you for reading! See ya soon~. ^^
