Chapter 3- A child
Gaster was running through the field hand over his stomach eyes wide he had to find Grillby! To tell him... To tell them they had made a souling
Grillby was at his post watching over their camp. He sharpened his sword as he gazed over the hills and trees. Harmless clouds rolled across the sky casting shadows. Grillby narrowed his gaze at one shadow at the edge of a tree. Shaking his head as he realized it was simply a bush.
BUSSSSH!
Smoke clouded his vision as a can hit the ground harshly. Coughing Grillby shouted out "ATTACK!"
Soon alarms rang out and the monsters scrambled to mobilize Gaster gasped as they did "Medics get ready!" He yelled and tried to get ahold of the situation for the medic services. he prayed Grillby would be okay
Grillby swung his sword with precision striking the attacker with deadly force. Soon the front had joined him in the fight. They were quickly able to overrun the invaders. Grillby had journeyed further out into field to take out the few that had tried to take out their forces at a distance.
He had knocked down a smaller foe. It had cried out rolling over to face Grillby with scared eyes arms going up to try and shield himself from the flame. "P-please h-have mercy!" Grillby froze. It was a young boy. Just a child compared to himself. Grillby lowered his sword. Grillby gasped as pain flared in his arm and he grasped the wet arrow that resided there. He stumbled back looking up to see a human in a nearby tree readying another arrow. With a growl Grillby shot a fireball at the tree quickly stumbling away. Dam kid was a set up. A throw away to attack him.
Gaster gasped as he felt phantom pain in his arm "Grillby..." He said panicked he couldn't lose him now! Why was he forbidden from being near the front!
Grillby groaned as he walked back. the front taking care of the rest of the attackers. Grumbling to the men as he passed "i-i'm going to the medic tent."
"Yes sir!" They said and let him
Gaster saw him and approached quickly "Grillby! I felt the attack! Are you okay?!"
Grillby felt like he could cry at the sight of his lover. Grillby gave a small shake of his head walking closer to the other. His flames were low.
Gaster rushed to him and hugged him tightly developing them in wispy green magic they looked mythical "I was so worried... I have news..."
Grillby gave him a weak smile asking in a small whispered voice "c-can it wait... I... Just want to hold you for a little while."
"Okay..." He said holding him and keeping them bathed in magic. though the magic didn't feel just like them anymore
Grillby sighed leaning heavily onto his lover. Soon his flames picked up devouring the arrow in his shoulder. Though his flames still remained dim thoughts of the human child plaguing his mind "p-lease h-ave mercy" on loop inside his mind. His flames going dull.
"Oh Grillby you're so low... Let's get in the tent and get some wood in you" Gaster said leading him inside worried
Grillby nodded following him. "o-okay."
Gaster got him in and gave him a pack of wood chips "here eat up" he said mother Henning him and nuzzling him
Grillby gave him a small smile munching on the wood. Nuzzling Gaster Grillby gave a small sigh slumping against him. "S-sorry."
"Don't be sorry love" he said and nuzzled him kissing on him gently
Grillby nodded nuzzling him back. His flames stubbornly remained dim. "I-i can't help it. You were going to tell me something and here I am w-wallowing over something... something s-stupid... What did you want to tell me?"
Gaster clasped his hands together beaming "a baby! We're having a baby!"
Grillby's flames paled flickering weakly "w-what?"
Gaster's smiled faded and worry took over "a-a baby... I'm pregnant" had Grillby not wanted children? Sure it was bad timing but...
Grillby shivered all he could image was a small skeleton or flame laying where the human had been, but a human doing what Grillby was unable to. "p-please H-have mercy" reverberated in his head making his flames quiver. "I-i-i... I need to go." Grillby quickly stood, but his knees buckled under him making him fall to the floor. Grillby hiccuped giving a shaky sob curling up on the floor. He didn't want Gaster to see him like this.
Gaster cover his face watching him tearing up. this was it Grillby didn't want it. didn't want him. "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry" he sobbed before helping him into the chair and fleeing. He couldn't believe he thought Grillby would be happy... He felt sick his soul pulsed in agony
Grillby sobbed out loudly and brokenly. Gaster didn't know. He didn't understand. Grillby felt sick. He collapsed to the floor dry heaving. Everything was wrong!
Gaster went to his only other friends, the king and queen crying
Asgore looked up from the map he was looking at pausing what he was saying "Gaster? Oh dear what is wrong my friend?" he motioned the other close and wrapped him a large fuzzy hug patting his skull "there there my friend. What happened?"
Toriel came over too "Gaster what is it?" She asked concerned had Grillby died
"He doesn't doesn't want us" he sobbed
Asgore became concerned "he? Do you mean Grillby? I thought you both soul bonded. Gaster, why do you think he changed his feeling for you?"
"Because I'm pregnant" he sobbed
Toriel gasped "oh that's! Wonderful dearie! B-but why wouldn't he... Oh I'm going to give him a piece of my mind!" She said
Asgore rumbled in agreement, but calmed himself. "Gaster my friend... It is possible he became overwhelmed. It is a big change to happen to you both... It is also during war. He would have both of you to fight and worry for... Did he say that he no longer loved you or cared for you?"
"He went dim and-and-and sick! Then he tried to leave but he couldn't so I did... " Gaster said
Tori rubbed his skull "that is very unusual behavior for him..."
Asgore nodded "I heard he was wounded during the attack. Dear will you go talk with him. I fear he might have been more wounded than we thought."
Tori nodded "I will. you take care of Gaster" she said and left to find Grillby
Asgore nodded holding Gaster close and murmuring comforting words as he petted his skull.
Gaster clung to the king "I want him to love us... I thought he would be happy" he sobbed
Asgore nodded petting him "i know… let us wait until Toriel get's back my friend. It could all just be a miscommunication… be patient my friend. I'm sure everything will work out."
Grillby tried not to collapse into the mess of simmering lava that was forced from him. He groaned his flames quivered weakly and his head was fuzzy, starting to pound harshly with a headache.
Tori came in and gasped "oh my stars!" She said and picked him up laying him down "Grillby! What's going on?!" She demanded worriedly
Grillby's flames flickered weakly as he sobbed out "i-i can't! I can't get it out of my head..." Grillby broke into sobs his flames merely a faint glow.
Toriel frowned "what can't you get?" She said handing him wood "I order you to eat"
Grillby shook his head sobbing pushing the wood away. It wouldn't stay down he knew.
"Then talk to me" she said
Grillby sniffled trying to tell her "th-the k-kid-" Grillby burst into sobs again. He felt weak and disgraceful for being so upset over this. It was some stupid kid, but it could have been his kid. What if. What if it was his kid and the human wasn't as merciful, as kind, as soft, as weak as him. Grillby couldn't help but sob harder at the thought his flames flickering and dimming more.
"What about the kid?" Tori said worried "Grillby stop. you will burn yourself out..."
"It could-could have been mine!" Grillby cried out collapsing into his knees and hugging them close.
Toriel frowned and hugged him "Grillby... Did you have to kill a child today?" She asked gently
Grillby hiccuped sniffling leaning heavily into her. "I-i c-couldn't… it was j-just a kid" Grillby shivered sobbing "he was-was bait! i-i can't g-get those words out-out of my head."
Toriel frowned "you showed him mercy... That's okay Grillby" she said gently
Grillby shook his head sniffling "i-i'm weak… th-they are using c-children to fight..." Grillby flickered his eyes taking on a more hollow look "i didn't even kill him and his pleas already haunt me."
Toriel sighed and hugged him she radiated a motherly aura. "I'm sorry Grillby..."
Grillby sniffled giving a shaky sigh. "I just-i just keep seeing my own child in his place… pleading f-for mercy… a-and a h-human d-doing wh-what i could-couldn't."
Toriel sighed and rocked him "surely this war will be behind us by then Grillby and we will never send children out" she swore
Grillby relaxed slightly. Leaning into her embrace more. "I-i'm sorry i'm such a mess… i'm not sure if i can keep this up. I just hurt so much. It's like my soul is breaking."
Toriel nodded and rocked him gently "I know we are all tired... But we have to keep going or we will all die..."
Grillby nodded curling closer to her admitting quietly "i-i'm scared."
"I know... And so is Gaster" she said gently "children make everything scary."
Grillby wiggled in her hold "i-i need to see Dings."
"You do... Shall we go see him?" She asked
Grillby nodded his flames perking up slightly "i-i need to see him. Make sure he is okay. Oh stars he probably thought..." Grillby slumped his flames dimming again "he probably hates me..."
"He doesn't hate you he's terrified you don't want him and the child... He's with Asgore now" she said gently
Grillby sniffled starting to cry again "i-i'm a horrible mate! How could i ever let him think that!"
"Honey you can make this right he'll understand" she said
Grillby sniffled "do you really think so?"
"Of course he's crazy about you" she said
Grillby gave her a wet chuckle "i'm crazy about him too."
"Good well go let him know that before I have to spend a weak pulling dried magic out of Asgore's fur."
Grillby chuckled nodding wiggling out of her hold. "okay. let's go then."
She nodded and lead him to the king
Asgore cradled the skeleton in his lap. Gaster had fell asleep not long after Toriel had left.
Toriel returned with Grillby "he fell asleep" she said
Grillby hummed walking over and petting Gaster's skull lightly. "i'll let him sleep. he probably needs it... do you mind if i take him back to our tent?"
"Please do he will need you when he wakes" Toriel said
Grillby nodded reaching over and cradling Gaster in his arms "i will be there for him... always"
Toriel smiled "I am glad now go" she said
Gaster immediately wrapped his arms around him "Grillby..."
Grillby's flames instantly perked up to their usual color as he grinned and nuzzled his mate, walking them back to their tent.
Gaster clung to him and about an hour later he began to wake clinging tighter "Grillby?"
Grillby was munching on wood chips feeling better than ever with his mate tucked into his side. "Yes dear?"
"I... You..." They were in their tent, Grillby looked fine... "Did I have a nightmare?" He said looking down at himself
Grillby pulled Gaster close kissing his skull softly "no… i'm sorry… i truly didn't mean to make you EVER think i didn't love you or our souling… i… i talked with Toriel… i'm so sorry i made you feel that way."
Gaster covered his mouth and look up at him with wide eyes "s-so it did h-happen w-why?" He said tearing up again as he felt his heart break
Grillby took a deep breath steeling his nerves. He had been practicing what he wanted to say since he had brought Gaster back. His flames dimmed slightly "Gaster, during the attack i… there was a child… they were using him as bait. A distraction… i couldn't get his pleas out of my head… when you told me you were pregnant i-i… i just couldn't get the thought out of my head of our child being in place of that human one a-and a human d-doing what i couldn't… i couldn't stand it."
Gaster's eyes widened as he realized his mistake and threw his arms around Grillby "I'm so sorry! I didn't... I couldn't think about your pain. I'm so so sorry!" He sobbed
Grillby lighten giving a gentle smile as he held Gaster close rubbing his bones in soothing motions. "It's okay dear. You didn't mean to. I forgive you…. Dings… i love you and i'm so happy we have a souling. I'm sorry that i couldn't react this way the first time, but i'll make it up to you." Grillby gave him soft kisses to his skull.
Gaster allowed himself to be soothed "you really are happy?" He asked looking up his sockets filled with wide vulnerable eyelights
Grillby grinned giving him a kiss on his nose cavity "the happiest i've been since we've soul bonded. Dings, i love you so much why wouldn't i love something we made together out of our lover for each other. I love everything about you. I love your eyes, your bones, your voice, your incredible magic, your smart skull of yours, and i love our souling."
Gaster smiles tearing up again and kissing him "thank you... I love you so much Grillby! I am so happy we are having this baby" he said
Grillby smiled kissing him lightly back his flames flickering happily. "Love you too Dings. You have to promise me something though."
Gaster nuzzled him "what?" He asked
"You are not going near any type of battle, not even a bar fight, and if you feel any type of discomfort you are to get someone to get me immediately. Promise?"
Gaster snorted "I'm already banned from combat silly... And I will be careful" he promised and kissed him "but you have to promise to stay alive okay?"
Grillby chuckled "i doubt even water could kill me now with how i'm feeling."
Gaster purred and nuzzled him "good"
Grillby nuzzled him "what would you like to do now my dear?"
"Just... Hold me... Oh would you like to see it?" He asked excitedly
Grillby's flames flickered in wild excitement "y-you can see it?"
"Yes!" He squeaked and stood fighting with his robe in his excitement to remove it.
Grillby helped him untangle it and waited his flames flickering in anticipation.
His ecto body was formed but he summoned his soul and turned it around where a small blue soul was attached to it.
Grillby gave a low whine covering his mouth. His eye's sparkled and his flames sparked and snapped in wild excitement. The souling was beautiful. It was the most precious thing he had ever seen.
Gaster smiled and took his hand and placed it over his soul and the souling "feel it?"
Grillby squeaked happily his flames sparking pink and deep reds showcasing how much he adored the small souling. "precious..."
Gaster smiled and kissed his cheek purring
Grillby grinned scooping Gaster into his arms and laying back in bed nuzzling him close. "They're perfect just like you."
"I bet it'll be strong like you too" he said
Grillby grinned rubbing Gasters bones "do you think it will be an elemental or a skeleton? Truthfully, I'm hoping for a baby bones so I can see what you looked like as a wee skeleton."
Gaster blushed "shut up" he said "it will probably be a mix of us... Or a lump of coal" he teased
Grillby chuckled "our adorable lump of coal."
"Yep" he said and nuzzled him
Grillby nodded giving Gaster a soft kiss. "Do you know when you will have them? I'm not diligent in skeleton births. Will we know what gender or what they will look like before?"
"Hmm once it is ready it will detach from my soul and move to my abdomen to grow..." He said
Grillby nodded rubbing Gaster's sides lightly "i can wait… we might pick out some supplies when we move closer to a town later. I believe we are moving at the start of the next month. I want our child to have everything."
Gaster nodded "me too" he said and leaned into him "I love you"
Grillby grinned "i love you too."
He laid on him and nuzzled him purring
Grillby hummed rubbing his bones and closing his eyes. "It's been a long day… you're making me tired resting on me you boney cat monster you heh."
Gaster stuck his tongue out in a blep "shhh"
Grillby gave a rumbling chuckle. Wrapping his arms around the skeleton Grillby nuzzled into the bones "love you Dings"
"I love you too" he said and licked his cheek.
Grillby gave a low whine, but just squeezed Gaster closer.
"Sploot" Gaster said and melted into skeleton puddle on him
Grillby chuckled barely cracking open an eye.
"Give me attention" he whined wiggling a little purring
Grillby gave a low whine paping his mouth softly with one hand. "Shhh… i'll give you attention you needy thing." Grillby's other hand snaked down running up Gaster's robes and fondling his sacrum. "Is that better my needy thing~"
Gaster moaned and purred "yessssss~"
Grillby chuckled fondling his bones "Dings you could have just told me. I can't read your mind to know if you're horny or not."
"But it's funner this way" he purred
Grillby smirked releasing the bones and bringing his hands behind his head "oh? I didn't know you liked to be teased."
Gaster gasped "ni! Don't you dare!" He said tugging at his arms
Grillby chuckled faking innocence "But Dings i don't know what you are talking about? What do you want?"
Gaster sat up "I want you to take me you jack ass!" He said tearing up and pouting
Grillby rumbled happily. Instantly he tackled Gaster pinning him down and licking a stripe up his neck "that's all i wanted to hear darling~"
Gaster gasped as he was suddenly pinned and licked before moaning and tilting his head "meanie."
Grillby hummed a hand going back to fondling his sacrum. "Dings i can't read your mind so you are going to have to learn how to tell me things. Write it down if you have to! I'm not against taking you on a table or out in the grass, but if you don't tell me how am i supposed to know?"
Gaster blushed "taking me... In front of everyone?" He blushed brightly purple clear down to his ribs
Grillby's flames turn a bright pink as he pulled back stumbling over his words "i-i-i meant at night-but i mean-if you want-i guess i-i-i can."
Gaster shook his head "oh goodness no!" He said covering his face with a squeak
Grillby gave a sigh of relief leaning back down on top of the other "good… heh don't want others to see you like this. It's a sight for only me. the same for you, i don't plan on showing these flames to anyone but you."
Gaster nodded "okay... I like that" he said kissing him
Grillby kissed him back continuing his rubbing of bones, his own cock sliding away from his flames a rubbing against his clothes. Grillby groaned "we need to get rid of these infuriating clothes."
Gaster nodded and summoned hands and they quickly undressed them.
Grillby groaned as his cock was released from it's clothed binds. Looking back to Gaster he devoured him with his eyes.
Gaster had formed his ecto body blushing as small breasts adorned his chest, they were barely a handful.
Grillby growled hungrily "oh what has your beautiful body presented me with today?" Grillby couldn't help but lick his lips at the new sight.
"I'll... Probably have to make milk... Might as well get used to them" he said blushing
Grillby hummed grinning peppering his ecto body with kisses. Slowly he eased his hands into cupping the small breast, slowly massaging them "They are perfect."
Gaster smiled and purred "that feels nice" he cooed
Grillby hummed pinching the tip of one.
Gaster arched and moaned his slit moistening
Grillby hummed kissing him "did that feel good?" he asked while pinching it again.
Gaster squeaked and nodded "yeah."
Grillby hummed sucking on his ecto body. "Good~" leaning down Grillby licked a nub and swirled his tongue around it while pinching the other.
Gaster moaned arching into the touches "oh Grillby..."
Grillby hummed taking the breast into his mouth giving it a hard suck. His left hand continued fondling and pinching the other breast. Grillby's other hand made it's way to Gaster's slit slipping his fingers inside.
Gaster spread his legs wider for him "feels so good Grillby..."
Grillby sucked and nibbled on his breast while he scissored Gaster and added another finger.
Gaster began moving his hands over his mate his summoned hands taking his cock and began stroking
Grillby groaned adding another finger and pumping them.
Gaster moaned and moved with him. he had needed this. the scare over Grillby's love and this confirmation just helped so much
Grillby gave a final suck on Gasters breast before releasing it with a pop. Removing his fingers Grillby guided his length slowly inside.
Gaster moaned "oh Grillby" it felt so good to be filled Gaster loved being filled as much as he liked taking the other
Grillby groaned rubbing Gaster's ecto body in slow sensuous motions as he started thrusting into him.
Gaster could feel the heat deep inside and it made his soul pulse quicken at how amazing it felt
Grillby groaned quickening his pace. "Gaster~ you feel so good~"
"Not as good as you oh stars you fill me till I think I'm gonna burst!" He said
Grillby groaned deepening his quick thrust. "Oh Gaster~ you're gonna make me cum with that talk~"
Gaster panted "oh yes me too! Gonna cum! Your cock is so hot it's burning me up" he panted slit clenching unaware of the big steps heading for then
Grillby moaned lowly thrusting wildly inside Gaster. Grillby cupped both his breasts pinching and twisting his nubs "Cum for me Dings~"
Gaster moaned and did as told "Gril-" he began cutting off in a cry as he came, Asgore bursting into the tent "guys did you- ah!" He said
Grillby let out a quite startled scream releasing his pent up climax against his will. his flames burst in horror and embarrassment quickly yanking out of Gaster. As he tried to yank a blanket over Gaster his foot hung causing him to collapsing onto the floor. Cum dripped from his flames Grillby quickly went to cover his fading cock with his hands shouting "GET OUT!"
"I am!" Asgore said tripping backwards hitting the tent and knocking the front down tearing the fabric exposing them to everyone.
Gaster cried out and pulled the blanket up and covers himself "Grillby!"
Grillby's flames flared turning a deep red brown showing his anger. He stood up, his cock having already seeped back into his flames. "ASGORE YOU CLUTS! I SUGGEST YOU ALL LOOK AWAY BECAUSE THE NEXT PERSON WHO DARES LOOK OR BY STARS HAS THE GALL TO MAKE A REMARK WILL HAVE A FLAMING FOOT UP THEIR ASS AS I KICK THEM TO THE MOON!" Grillby was practically seething. "And Asgore you better get us a new dam tent." with that Grillby scooped up his skeleton hid in his bundled blanket storming away to the king's tent for the mean time.
Asgore fainted under the fire man's wrath.
Toriel blushed when they stormed in "oh my I guess Asgore..." She said and covered her eyes "I'll go take care of things..."
Grillby grumbled still seething as he sat down cradling Gaster in his lap. "Ding Freakin' Dang it! We were-Stars!-we were having sex and he just had to-Gah!-that cluts!"
Gaster frowned and nuzzled him "I'm sorry..."
Grillby sighed his flames lowering "no i'm sorry. This is all my fault. If i hadn't reacted that way earlier then Asgore would have had no reason to come to our tent. But really he had to come then? I mean a few minutes later and we would have at least had a blanket over us! I'm just glad you are okay…. You are okay, right?"
Gaster nodded "I'm okay and hey..." He said and his teeth twitched into a grin "we know we don't like exhibitionism."
Grillby chuckled "i can agree wholeheartedly there. But Dings i would walk around like i am right now, stark as the flame i was born, if it made you happy… i guess it's a good thing i'm as well known and feared as i am or others might have openly steared."
"Yeah jackasses. we can try again later" he chuckled
Grillby blushed pink "y-you are joking right?" Grillby might pride himself by being confident and sexy, especially in front of Gaster, but his actions were starting to come back clearly and suddenly he didn't feel confident at all. What if people did stare as he yelled and walked away… showing everyone… everything… oh Grillby felt a queasiness start to bubble up. He would never hear the end of this. People would talk. Oh stars what if they thought he just did this with anyone! What if they started asking for sex too! Oh he could hear them now
'if you fucked that patheic scrony doctor why not me? Try something other than lifeless bones!'
what if they didn't take no as an answer… Grillby was going to throw up. Quickly he scooted out from under Gaster and rushed out the back of the tent emptying his stomach onto the dirt. Wiping his mouth the trudged back over the Gaster his flames tinged green.
Gaster shot up "Grillby are you okay?! I'm sorry I was just teasing!" He said worried
Grillby groaned leaning into the other "sorry… i just… my mind wandered away again..."
Gaster hugged him "it'll be okay my love..."
Grillby nuzzled into him "hope so… if-if anyone bothers you. You'll tell me right? Or at least the king or queen."
"I can take care of myself you know, but I will" he promised
Grilby sighed dimming "sorry… i know you can take care of yourself."
"No don't be sad" Gaster said and kissed him wrapping his arms around him. "Wanna get vengeance on Asgore by fucking on his bed?"
Grillby chuckled nuzzling into him "you do realize that they will come back and this situation will just happen all over again. However, cuddling in our nakedness works for me. If that's okay?"
Gaster nodded and opened the blanket "get in here" he purred
Grillby chuckled nuzzling Gaster before lifting him up letting Gaster's legs straddle him as he walked to the bed. Flopping down on his back Grillby wiggled comfortably onto the bed.
Gaster purred and nuzzled him with a coo.
Grillby chuckled stealing a kiss. "Love you."
Gaster kissed back "love you too"
Grillby smiled easing into the comfortable bed closing his eyes. "Today has been quite eventful."
"Yeah it has" Gaster said with a yawn
Grillby huffed a hot breath into Gaster's face. "You wear me out. How old are you again? 10-15? Heh."
"2" he said in the most babyish voice he could
Grillby giggled moving them so he cradled the other "oh my dear. So young. I will now have two babies to raise. I might need to get some diapers you already run around stark naked. Hehehhe."
Gaster barked out a laugh "you ass!"
Grillby chuckled pinching Gaster's sacrum "your ass~"
Gaster squeaked and bat at him "meanieeeeee"
"Aw does my darling baby not wike that?" Grillby cooed his voice taking on one that someone would speak to a baby.
"Awwy does my darling fkrefwy want a slap on the bottom?"
Grillby cackled loudly wiping at a few tears. "I love you so much."
Gaster laughed "I know" he said cuddling to his side
Grillby grinned pulling him closer and leaning his head on top of Gaster's. With a yawn Grillby mumbled "i'm going to sleep. Old men like me need it so we aren't grouchy. Wake me up if they come back."
"I am sleeping too" he said with a yawn
Grillby chuckled smiling "guess they'll just have to move us or find somewhere else to sleep."
Gaster nodded mumbling back going into sleep easily now that his fears were abated and his horniness dealt with
Grillby hummed holding Gaster close before falling asleep as well
