Red growled, batting sharp phalanges at the intruding glove attempting to pap him on the nasal bone. He cursed the stars for the endless ball of energy that he got stuck babysitting.
"Come on Red, you promised we could visit Sans and Papyrus today!" Did he promise that? Why did he go and do something like that. Oh yeah, they've been soo busy, and because of that they haven't gotten the time to visit the brothers until now. Didn't stop him from groaning out of pure annoyance.
"fine, fine, get off ya blueberry," The hands retracted and Red got up, rubbing his sockets and grimacing at the skullache that he seemed to have been presented. So it's gonna be one of those days? Well fine, two can play at that fucking game. Wearing last nights clothes, he threw on his jacket, adjusted his collar and flipped the new day a bird just to make sure. Red dragged himself downstairs, phalanges gripping his cranium, smile pulled into a pained grimace. Fuck, he didn't remember drinking. The pleasantly spicy aroma of spices and meat drifted through the air, pulling him temporarily out of his plight. Blue usually made tacos, but on occasion he would experiment. Red turned into the kitchen to see Blue humming cheerfully, practical blue apron swaying slightly as he plated the breakfast burritos.
"Finely managed to pull yourself out of bed, sleepyskull? Must of been the tantalizing smell of the Magnificent Blue's Breakfast Burritos!" Big blue eye lights narrowed taking in his appearance."Red~ why can't at least try to put some effort in your outfit?" Red bypassed the whining skeleton to reach the manageably edible chow, chewing openly with sharpened chompers."Oh stars, your going to make a mess!" Napkins were very politely shoved into his unoccupied hand, Red looked mockingly offended at the item popping the last bite of burrito into his maw.
"how dare ya blue, i am the neatest freak in the house." He gasped, hand pressed to his sternum in a lazy show to clutch his soul."if it weren't for me there'd be nothin to clean." Blue rolled his lights at the sarcastic display, taking careful bites out of his burrito.
"How do you think they are doing? Papyrus and Sans." Red shrugged, it's been awhile since they've all seen the pair.
"those two. seriously blueberry, ya know as much as i do they're fine. i mean it's finally time they got to the surface." The other nodded in agreement. Those two deserved some respite after all they've been through. It sucked a shit ton though that the machine that connected them broke down before they could hang out on their surface more, taking more time than the others could have thought. It didn't matter that he and the Boss couldn't go back to their fucked world, they usually stuck around one of the two other houses anyway. The heaviest worry was what the marshmallow and cinnabunny would interpret of the others' absence of visits."i mean the little brat promised that they were done." Blue brightened at that reasoning, having been made aware a week after he was on the surface of time shenanigans. Him and Stretch had gotten lucky and been on the surface for far longer, their human now a teenager in high school. Him and the Boss haven't been back to their universe, preferring the soft bunch of wimps.
"You're right Red! If they're anything like my human then there is nothing to worry about!" Out of nowhere in particular, Blue produced two duffels."I hope you don't mind, but I packed our essentials up for our visit just in case of a surprise slumber party!" Blue explained at his suspicious look, completely serious expression. To say the least, it took a good while for Red to get off the ground, gasping for breath, his nonexistent lungs burning. He felt the toe of a boot bump against his scapula."Seriously!" Red jolted weakly in surprise when he arms wrapped around him, picking him up with practiced ease.
"woah, ha..you wi..win! now..putt me down." Red whined struggling tiredly in Blue's grip. It took forever him and Blue to get out the door, and if they were going to see the them, might as well try for before midnight. He shuffled behind, watching as Blue skipped along in uncontainable excitement. Arriving to the machine had him taking the lead to set up the coordinates, checking the multi-dimensional journal to get just right."voila, next stop, the undertale universe." He muttered, Blue squealing in excitement, so much so that he jumped straight through with no second thoughts or hesitation."aww shit. blue wait!"
As soon as Red opened it Blue couldn't help but let out the manliest noise to release some of his excitement! He shot straight past, a wide grin on his face as he heard the start of Red's sentence fade away, letting out a giggle at the tingling of cross-dimensional travel. When the sensation slowly disappeared, he braced himself landing a boot on the ground and continuing forth for safety measures. When he reached the other side of the basement, he twirled around just in time for Red to come into focus."starsdaaugh, umpph!" Blue was glad he was the one carrying the duffels, if not for his muscles but for Red's clumsiness!
"no time for napping, we just got here!" He pouted for extra effect, knowing for a fact that the other has not been injured due to his magnificently astute observation skills. Thinking about observation skills, he looked around the basement. It's dirtier then he remembered it being, but that was probably because they haven't visited in so long! Blue bounded up the stairs, hearing the sluggish steps of the other following after him, he threw open the basement door. Pitch darkness laid out beyond it, streaks of harsh white whipping against it, contrasting. Hesitation twisted in his soul.
"blue, what's the hold up...?" Blue tentatively stepped out, flinching at the harsh snapping of the wind around him. Pressing a glove against the house wall, he followed it, motioning for Red to follow along. The metal door closed behind them, no going back. They practically hugged the wall, pressing on until they were met with the porch. Victory for the Magnificent Blue, he politely decided to tap against the door."seriously blue?" He decidedly ignored the rude monster and continue. That's when he heard something on the other side. Soft, nearly inaudible breathing could be heard. Then out of nowhere a voice spoke up, sounding excited!
"oh dear stars, it's completely solid!" It took a moment for Blue to realize he didn't recognize that voice and another to squeak out in fear as the door jerked open, the only thing stopping him from face planting Red's hand on his shoulder. There was a glimpse of bronze eye lights staring in shock and pain before they disappeared just as quickly, leaving an empty doorway.
"shit! where the hell did he go? why did he look like..."
"Language! Oh, Sans! It's been a long while, thought we could stop by!" He waved towards Sans, ignoring the odd sight, grin slowly fading when he saw the look on his skull. Glazed white eye lights washed over them before settling with worry onto a random spot on the ground. His rattling, fragile form clad in well worn, fading blue pajamas in a snowflake pattern.
"haaa?..ghhk..." It was a soft, hoarse, strangled whimper that truly brought Blue to outright worry. He could feel Red tense up, unnerved. And then Sans curling in on himself appearing to try to make himself even smaller.
"oh fuck, are you alright? i mean shit, you look like shit." Sure know his way with words, Red does. Blue intervened before the numbskull could dig himself a deeper hole.
"Sans, what happened? Are you okay? Wait...does it hurt to speak?" That resulted in tears pouring down the other's face, confusion, fear, worry, and some anger, huh, in his sockets. Speaking seemed to make things worse. Sans jolted, looking over his shoulder, lights moving until they went to the same spot from earlier. Blue felt at a lost on how to comfort him. Why was Sans underground? What happened? Phalanges griped tightly on his clavicle and he turned to meet just as uncertain crimson eye lights stare back.
