Disclaimer: I do not own Undertale, its character or plots. There are spoilers for both the genocide run and the pacifist run. I only own my plot/changes and my OC.
I told my mom the entire story of Undertale, EVERY DETAIL I could remember for like a bedtime story. (She has to sleep on the couch to keep an eye on our dog, so I told it to her and helped put her to sleep.) My friend started playing Undertale (and we recorded it and put it on my YouTube channel, he's in love with ghosts and skeletons)
Thank you everyone for reviewing.
"Goodnight, you two."
"GOODNIGHT SANS."
"nigh…" Nora mumbled into the pillow, already drifting off. Papyrus smiled and pulled the covers up a bit to cover her more. Sans smiled before he closed the door behind him.
…
Papyrus jolted awake when Nora bumped into him. He blinked and rubbed his eyes before looking over his shoulder at Nora. She was tossing and turning slightly in her sleep. Her face looked pained and her hair stuck to her skin with sweat.
"Nora?" Papyrus sat up with a frown. "Nora." He reached out and shook her shoulder gently at first but then more urgently as she wasn't waking up. "Nora!" Nora gasped as she opened her eyes and looked up at Papyrus' worried expression. Immediately her eyes started to tear up. Papyrus opened his arms in invitation. Nora clung to him as she sobbed; he rubbed her back slowly. "It is okay. I, the great Papyrus, will protect you from any night terrors." They stayed like that for a long time before Papyrus pulled away. "Wait here." He said before he got up. Nora immediately gasped and reached out to grab a hold of his shirt. Papyrus turned back to look at her. "I won't be long." He said. Nora hesitantly took her hand away and Papyrus walked to his closet. He flipped on the small light and rummaged around before he found what he was looking for. "Aha!" He turned off the light and returned to Nora. "Here." He held out a small teddy bear to her. It looked old and worn, it was missing an eye and there was a rip in its ear. Nora reached out and took it. She looked down at it as Papyrus got into bed. "It's my old teddy. He used to help me sleep at night." Nora looked up at Papyrus who was smiling. "So I'm giving him to you."
"Thank you… Papyrus." She said as she held the bear against her chest. Papyrus yawned.
"Well, let's try to get back to sleep."
"I-I'm sorry for waking you." Nora whispered as they settled back into bed.
"Nonsense. What kind of friend would I be if I didn't take care of you when you're frightened?" he asked. Nora smiled and felt more tears come to her eyes.
"Thank you."
"Goodnight, Nora."
"Goodnight, Papyrus."
"Where's the kid?" Sans asked when Papyrus came down stairs.
"SANS? YOU'RE UP?"
"Uh, yeah." Sans chuckled. "I uh… couldn't sleep." Papyrus frowned. "Too uh, worried about the kid having another nightmare." Truth was he had a nightmare about them being left with Papyrus.
"SHE'S SLEEPING IN. SHE WOKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AGAIN."
"Again huh?" Papyrus nodded sadly. "Poor kid…We'll let her sleep then. Could you write a note for when she wakes up?" Papyrus sighed.
"SANS! YOU'RE SO LAZY!" Papyrus said before going to get a piece of paper.
"Thanks, bro." Sans said. Papyrus went into the kitchen to write the note and Sans slipped upstairs. He cracked open the door to Papyrus' room and peeked inside. Nora was fast asleep, clutching Papyrus' teddy bear to her chest. Sans gently closed the door with a small smile. He had nothing to worry about.
…
Nora woke with a small gasp and blinked up at the ceiling.
"Papyrus?" She sat up and looked around. Nora got up and walked downstairs, still holding the teddy bear. She couldn't tell if it was still a dream or not, the house was dead quiet. "G-Guys?" she called out. She entered the kitchen and let out a sigh of relief when she saw the note on the counter.
NORA,
SANS AND I (MOSTLY ME) ARE OUT ON PATROL FOR OTHER HUMANS (NOT YOU). IF YOU NEED US WE'LL BE AT OUR SENTRY STATIONS KEEPING WATCH (BUT MOSTLY ME). WE'LL BE HOME FOR DINNER. IF YOU GET HUNGRY WHILE YOU'RE WAITING THERE IS SOME PASTA IN THE FRIDGE. IF YOU SHOULD REQUIRE TO COME FIND US PLEASE REMEMBER TO GRAB A JACKET BEFORE YOU GO OUTSIDE. I LEFT ONE BESIDES SANS' PET ROCK.
PAPYRUS
Nora turned and looked over at the table where Sans' rock was and found a jacket, scarf, gloves and a hat.
"Guess he doesn't want me getting cold." she said before pulling everything on. She thought about leaving her own note but then decided not to, she wouldn't be gone long. She placed the teddy bear on the couch before heading out.
"HONESTLY SANS! YOU COULD PUT A LITTLE MORE EFFORT INTO YOUR WORK!" Papyrus said as he and Sans entered the house.
"I guess I'll put a little more backbone into it."
"THAT'S MY JOKE!"
"Sorry bro." Sans said with a chuckled. Papyrus opened his mouth to reply but stopped when he saw his bear on the couch. He picked it up and blinked.
"NORA?" he called. He finally noticed the jacket and everything else was gone. He ran up stairs.
"Papyrus?" Sans walked to the bottom of the stairs.
"SANS! SHE'S GONE!" Papyrus shouted as he left his room.
"What?"
"NORA IS GONE!" he ran down the stairs and into the kitchen. "SHE DIDN'T LEAVE A NOTE!"
"Calm down, I'm sure she just went for a walk or somethin'."
"WHY DIDN'T SHE LEAVE A NOTE!?"
"Papyrus, she'll be fine." Sans said. "Why don't you sit down?"
"NO. I MUST GO OUT AND FIND HER!"
"Bro-" Sans was cut off as the door opened and Nora walked in.
"Oh hey gu-YS!" Nora yelped as Papyrus picked her up in a hug. "Papyrus?"
"DON'T EVER SCARE ME LIKE THAT AGAIN!"
"Huh?" Nora blinked at Sans from over Papyrus' shoulder. Sans shrugged. "Papyrus?" he put her down but kept his hands on her shoulders.
"WHERE WERE YOU?! WHY DIDN'T YOU LEAVE A NOTE?!"
"I-I-I just went to the store to get some clothes. I can't exactly keep wearing these." she said as she looked down at her clothes. "I'm sorry I worried you, Papyrus. I didn't think I would be gone that long." Papyrus let out a sigh. Nora pulled off the hat and gloves. "Thanks for leaving these out for me though, it was really cold out." Papyrus suddenly put a hand on her forehead. Nora blinked.
"SANS! SHE'S WARM!"
"Huh?"
"WHAT TEMPERATURE SHOULD A HUMAN BE AT?!"
"Papyrus I'm fine." Nora said but a second later she sneezed.
"SHE'S SICK! SANS CALL THE DOCTOR!" Papyrus said as he scooped Nora up into his arms and ran for his room.
"I don't think she's that kinda doctor." Sans muttered as Papyrus ran past him.
"Papyrus, I'm fine, I just had a tickle in my nose." Nora insisted.
"A TICKLE?! SANS TELL THE DOCTOR SHE HAS TICKLES IN HER NOSE!"
"Papyrus, don't you know what a tickle is?" Nora asked as he put her down on his bed.
"I CAN ONLY ASSUME IT'S A HORRIBLE CREATURE FOR GOING INSIDE ONE'S NOSE!" Nora started to laugh as Papyrus pulled the covers over her. "THIS IS NO LAUGHING MATTER! SANS!"
"I don't know if this'll work but…"
"IF WHAT WILL WOR- NYEH...WHAT ARE YOU- NYEH HEH- WHAT ARE YOU DOING? NYEH HEH HEH HEH HEH HEH!" Nora giggled as Papyrus squirmed away from her tickling fingers. "WHAT IS THIS!?"
"This is tickling." Nora said.
"THIS WAS- NYEH HEH- IN YOUR NOSE?! NO WONDER YOU NYEH- SNEEZED! NYEH HEH HEH HEH!"
"Everything okay in here?" Sans asked as he came in. he blinked at the sight before him.
"RUN SANS! BEFORE THE TICKLES GET YOU!" Papyrus said through his laughter. Sans chuckled.
"I think that's enough tickles for you." Nora said. Papyrus sat on his bed to catch his breath as he chuckled. Nora got up and grinned at Sans. "Your turn!" Sans' eye-sockets widened.
"That's alright, I'm good." he said as he took a step back. Nora giggled and started walking over to him. "Nora." he raised a hand. "Nora don-" Nora ran at him and he bolted from the room.
"Sans! Come back! I just wanna give you a hug!"
"RUN SANS!" Papyrus laughed. Nora ran after Sans down the hallway until he ran into his room, slamming the door behind him.
"Sans no fair!" Nora whined. "Come out! You're no fun." She said with a pout. Suddenly she smirked and knocked on the door. "Knock knock." It took him a second but he replied.
"Who's there?"
"Doris!"
"Doris who?"
"Doris locked that's why I am knocking!" She heard him chuckle slightly. "Knock knock."
"Who's there?"
"Al."
"Al who?"
"Al give you a kiss if you open this door." He didn't respond and Nora frowned before returning to Papyrus' room.
"BACK FOR MORE?! I AM PREPARED THIS TIME!"
"Huh?" Nora blinked before she burst out laughing as Papyrus tickled her. She squeaked and tried to get away but Papyrus laughed triumphantly when Nora fell back onto the bed laughing like crazy. Sans peeked into the room and smiled.
"Dinner!" Nora called.
"NORA?"
"Yeah Pap?" She asked as she turned to see him standing in the archway of the kitchen. He smiled at the nickname.
"DO YOU THINK YOU COULD TEACH ME HOW TO MAKE PASTA LIKE YOU?" Nora blinked.
"Of course." She said with a smile.
"OH GOODIE! UNDYNE IS ALREADY TEACHING ME HOW TO COOK BUT IT'S NEVER BEEN AS GOOD AS YOURS."
"Aw, thanks Papyrus. Would you be opposed to me teaching you other meals to make?" She asked. His eyes grew wider with wonder.
"I WILL GLADLY LEARN WHAT YOU WILL TEACH." Nora smiled.
"Great. I'll just have to go to the store-"
"I'LL GO! JUST GIVE ME A LIST."
"Huh? It's no trouble, I can get it."
"YOU SHOULDN'T GO OUTSIDE! YOU COULD GET SICK!"
"But Papyrus you gave me a hat and gloves and everything; I'll be warm."
"YOU COULD GET LOST!"
"It's not really that big of a town you know. I've been in bigger cities."
"WHAT IF-...WHAT IF-... OH...YOU JUST CAN'T GO OUT." He said with a frown.
"Huh? Why not?"
"WHAT IF YOU GOT HURT?" Nora blinked. She knew she couldn't be insulted, he was only worried about her.
"Then why don't you come with me to the store?" Papyrus' face lit up.
"WHAT AN EXCELLENT IDEA!" He said with a grin. "WE'LL GO FIRST THING TOMORROW MORNING!"
"Great. Now here's dinner." She handed him a plate of spaghetti.
"THANK YOU."
"You're welcome, Papyrus." Nora said with a big smile.
"I'LL CALL SANS DOWN."
"Thanks, Pap." Papyrus left the kitchen.
"SANS! DINNER!" Nora heard a muffled 'comin bro' before she heard the door open upstairs.
Papyrus pulled the covers up over himself and Nora.
"ALL SNUG?"
"Mhm." Nora smiled at him.
"GOOD. SANS, WE'RE READY FOR OUR STORY! SANS!" A moment later Sans came in with a book.
"What story you wanna hear tonight, bro?"
"NORA, WHY DON'T YOU PICK TONIGHT'S STORY?"
"Huh? Oh I couldn't. You pick Papyrus."
"I INSIST!"
"Oh well… I don't know what to pick." She said with a frown."
"Why don't I pick?" Nora nodded.
"ARE YOU SURE, NORA?" Nora nodded again. "ALRIGHT. READ AWAY SANS!"
