#HS is my underswap Papyrus

[capricioussun]

I’ve got herp brain rot from treating a skink so here’s an odd asK - Do any of your lads like amphibians/reptiles?

Yeah absolutely!!! I can give a quick run down of everyone’s pref, too!

Actively doesn’t like or is scared of Them - Patch, Hawk, Cue, Pictoris, Berry

Indifferent to Them - Papyrus, Red, Haze, Eclipse, Snare, Hemlock, Raviel, Pin, Ice

Likes Them well enough - Sans, Blue, Gold, Copper, Dove, Rust, AR, Luck, Ara, Boötes, Cire, Lace, Rosewood, Clover, Perp

Loves Them!! - Stretch, Ghost, Coal, Boss

Just an overall animal person - Edge, Dusk, Antares, Elester, Void

.

Most of the guys in indifferent would also be friendly with them, they just don’t really have any draw to them particularly, while the only ones afraid of them would be Patch and Berry

That being said! The guys that like them would be friendly with them, wouldn’t mind keeping the household friendly types as pets, and might be interested in learning more about them from those that are more interested! Of which, Stretch, Ghost, and Coal would be the ones with most direct and specific interest!! Boss is mostly just in that category because he likes them more than most other animals, and may keep a more exotic type as a pet, but otherwise isn’t like the others as much.

Antares would also be an exception to being just an animal lover overall! The other guys in that category love animals, but rarely seek them out as any sort of specific interest, while Antares loves animals, all animals, a lot! He’d love to read books or watch specials about any of them, he’d love any chance to meet any animals, from something as simple as a cat to the most exotic creatures on earth!

So!! Antares and Stretch would likely be the most knowledgeable on those dudes, they’d know tons of different species and breeds, and may even keep some as pets, household situation allowing, while Ghost more so just likes them in general. Would enjoy keeping a pet or visiting them at a zoo or reserve, but he doesn’t really seek out information about them as much. Just likes that they exist and finds them neat! I think he’d have an especially soft spot for snakes. Antares might also have a tiny bias for, if this applies, all the strange creatures in the deep sea. That’s not so much amphibian or reptilian, but it’s adjacent agjdhsjfjdj

I think Stretch would especially love learning about their histories and like, their evolution! Amphibians especially, they’re so neat to him, well, and komodo dragons, I think they’d also be a favorite! I’d imagine he’d really enjoy having an aquarium with some newts and fish!

Oh! And Coal loves salamanders and snakes a lot!! But lizards are a close second place, he’d love to learn more about them on the surface, he really admires how adaptable they are and how unique they are to so many other animals!

Fun tangentially related fact! Edge loves when toads visit his garden, and leaves little “scrap nests” of leaves and garden trimmings around the flowers and porch for them <3

The Bitty Connection

@inkswirl @firedrakegirl @nascentcreations @Space_lover @maiuoart @alpaca-keeper

After gathering samples from everyone that opted into the “bitty” party which was Maiuo, Swirl, Alp, Mimi, Space, and Fire; Crow made her way to see her favorite fish friend… Undyne, aka Kraken. She was Smoke and Indigo’s Undyne and though she looked mean, Crow knew she was a sweet loving anime geek with nerdy tendencies. Even though she hated humans she found peace in Crow’s realm. She was given a lab, she was allowed experiments, given anime. And suddenly a delivery truck was parked outside her door with a bunch of new anime, manga of her favorite ships, plus some new ones, and cups of noodles. There was even a plushie thrown in of Smoke and Crow as she grabbed them up and squealed in delight. Grabbing up some of the new manga she saw it featured all new ships. Someone named “Aritafae” and Mutt. A handsome looking skellie that was close to how Smoke looked but without a broken nasal cavity. Another manga with a bunch of other skellie boys wearing collars and living in a dorm house together with the same mysterious “Aritafae”, a cute woman that could shift into a cat. The anime consisted of new stuff she’d never seen before and was delighted to get her hands on it. But she grew suspicious…. This never happened before. She sighed anyway and the delivery driver was helping in bringing it all in. More stacks on the already overly cluttered floor, more cups of noodles piling up on the counters. Thankfully, this lab had a built-in storage room and she was able to move a lot of it into there. But just as they finished up, she heard the tell-tale sing song voice of Crow. Groaning she shut the door… of course… she accepted the damn gifts… it better not be anymore bitty requests. Sure, Bitty Dewie was sweet compared to Bitty Mol but after Bitty Mol that left a bad taste in her mouth. “Hey Kracken, I see you got the gifts. You uhh… ready for this request?” Crow asked with a smile as she leaned against the wall looking right at her with smile on her stupid human face. “No.” Kraken deadpan stared at her and flat out answered rather quickly. Pouting moving away from the wall. “Ahh, come on. I see you got the shipment.” Crow sang out to her. “Oh… please s…stop singing…” Kraken was trying not to stutter. She had been working on it. Honestly, with Crow’s help she was getting better. “Ok, fine, but please I got some bitty requests. Humans and I have the required stuff to make em. I mean you signed for the shipment and I promise no more bitties. Just please do this.” Crow wasn’t one to beg, but she was begging right now. This must be important to her, Kranken thought to herself looking at the “witch” that let them stay, gave them houses, didn’t care what they were before or where they came from. Gave them all roofs, food, jobs, even the demons and other beings smiled at them, welcomed them with open arms. Stars… how could she say no? Damn her sappy heart, damn Crow for her good-natured loving ways. But … she figured she owed a lot to her, most humans would have snubbed their noses at them, sent them away. But not Crow… she watched as Crow first day opened her arms and gave Sans… or Black or Indigo whatever he was called now and just hugged him. Watched as Black threw her across the room and stormed out. How she laughed off the pain even though she winced, how she just smiled even though she was hurting physically and said it was ok it wasn’t his fault. That she forgave him now and always. Alphys or Dina called her a softie, an idiot. That was until two weeks later when they were all invited to a celebration at the Jinia Manor and … Crow… entered battle. Magic was not allowed, no armor and but weapons were allowed, and death apparently was a no go this time. Curious she found out the Jinia; at least most of them, had found a way to bring back their dead. Using the soul and their spirit to do so. But seeing Crow battle it out, it changed the view of many of them. Crow was a warrior with a big heart. That changed Indigo’s view of her. He had once said to Dina it was like “watching an angel in battle, dancing while her soul sang.” And thus, many came to respect her more. Looking at Crow now begging… ugh “Get up come on.” “YES.” Crow called out happily and the two got everything set up and started. The baggies and one vial were all clearly labeled and marked so Kraken got to work on making the newest bitties. “Give m..me about a week? I’ll call you w…when I’m done.” Kraken told her waving Crow away with her hand as she got into her zone. Human bitties, she was working with human bitties. She was more excited than she let on. And one of them seemed to have antlers… Stars she was excited to see these bitties. Crow went home later that night and grabbed up a copy of the manga where Hal had a collar and all of them were in high school sharing a dorm living together, the antics, the collars, the little “love drama”. Snrking Crow put it in the mail and her a copy right then and there. Thinking though as she sat on the couch she heard an egg hatch and buzzing sounds. “Shadow bees.” Wrynn called from the nusery as Crow got up to look at just one of her newest creations. Shadow bee to make ashen honey. They were adorable. One giant Queen bee, a bunch of workers, and some guard bees. The Shadow Queen bee about the size of a fucking rat buzzed over to Crow curious and Crow scooping her up nuzzled that thing. Taking her to little garden outside in the back and showing her around. She hadn’t had bees before but now a little less magic would get used trying to keep everything pollenated. “I shall name you Fuzzy.” Crow declared. A black bee, with a red stringer and violet bands around her and silver blue wings. She was just cute. Fuzzy got right to work and the drones following her orders started to build nests and putting everything together and started doing their bee duties. Crow let em go at it as she yawned and curled up on the couch. HS seeing is moment moved over snuggling up to her and just smooching all over her face. The two falling asleep on the couch. It had been an eventful day.

Zero Redeeming Qualities

An announcement! Or rather, some notes about this chapter.

There have been some (very minor) changes.

Slim has been renamed to "Mutt"

Razz has been renamed to "Black"

“Tuffet” has been renamed to “The Parlor," which I think goes better with the theming of it.

Chapters will be getting new names because I was starting to hate them.

- - - - -

A couple years ago the Undertale, Underfell, Underswap, and Swapfell (Red) universes collided, merging into a single - peaceful - universe.

The skelebros have become friends in this universe, often hanging out and spending time together,

Except for Sans, who is distant with everyone and has a tense relationship with Papyrus.

After losing a drinking challenge, Red asked Sans on a date, where he found himself with more questions than answers. A second date to the museum further complicated his feelings. Third time's the charm, right?

MASTER POST

FIRST CHAPTER

PREVIOUS CHAPTER

NEXT CHAPTER

Chapter Eight: Intriguing

—Red—

Red held the café door open for Sans, noting how hard his counterpart was shivering with a frown.

“y’shoulda worn a thicker coat,” Red commented as they took their place at the back of the queue. “yer shakin’ like a fuckin’ maraca.”

“it’s the s-song of my p-people,” Sans snarked back as his teeth chattered.

Red rolled his eyelights, debating if he should offer his coat to Sans, at least to help him warm back up.

“i’ll be fine once i get somethin’ t’ drink,” Sans said, responding to Red’s unasked question like he could read his damn mind.

Sans was looking up at the menu board, hugging himself in an attempt to subdue his shivering.

“RED!”

The loud, cheerful voice broke the general quiet of the café, and made Red tense up.

wait … what’s today?

He pulled out his phone to check and groaned.

Every other week the skeletons had a standing get together at The Parlor. Usually at least a couple of them would show.

Red had it marked on his calendar, he just hadn’t thought to look at it before he texted Sans.

He was a fucking moron.

Fuck.

He wondered if he could get away with not responding. If somehow Blue would think he had the wrong skeleton.

… right, like there’s more’n one of me.

Red turned toward Blue’s voice, plastering a smile on his face and bracing himself for who might be there.

Mutt and Stretch were looking between him and Sans. Stretch’s expression was openly curious, like he had found a particularly interesting shiny thing that he couldn’t wait to take apart.

Mutt, on the other hand, had a grin that was wide and sharp. It was a grin that Red knew all too well. He was in for a whole mountain of bullshit from that one.

Black had his skull in a ledger, coffee cup abandoned on the table in front of him. As usual he seemed to be working in his time off. Fucking workaholic.

Blue was standing and waving, excited and bright as always. He didn’t seem to notice (or care) that he was bothering other patrons with his antics.

And Papyrus …

Papyrus wasn’t looking at Red at all. Hs eyelights were focused on Sans with an expression that set Red’s instincts screaming, although he wasn’t sure what they were saying.

Then he seemed to notice Red looking at him and the expression was gone. Replaced with a grin as wide as Blue’s, unthreatening and kind.

Red almost doubted he had seen the look Papyrus had shot Sans.

Almost.

“RED!” Papyrus called out, causing more customers to glare at the table of skeletons. Red could hear some of them muttering complaints to one another. A couple got up and left, taking their drinks with them. “COME JOIN US!”

A pit formed in his core.

Red wanted to accept the invitation, but something about Papyrus was making him uneasy. He trusted his instincts, especially when he couldn’t figure out why they were freaking the fuck out.

He also didn’t want to abandon Sans. He was an asshole, but he wasn’t rude.

“go talk to them,” Sans said, so quiet the words were almost lost to the background murmur of the café.

Red spun on him, his full attention on the other in an instant.

Sans’ eyelight flickered at Red before returning to the menu boards that he was staring at, unblinking. “i can order if ya … if you tell me what you want. i actually got the g this time.”

Red stared at Sans, his mind a jumble as misfitting pieces of a puzzle started to resolve themselves, just a little.

“i ain’t ditchin’ ya,” Red growled. “if it got back t’ the boss i wouldn’t hear the end of it.”

Sans was still in his casual, lazy slouch - but it was no longer casual or lazy. Red hadn’t noticed before but Sans was … tense.

A wire, ready to snap with just a little more pressure.

Scared.

The line moved and Sans took a measured step forward with it, leaving Red a step behind him. He tipped his head back, looking at Red out of the corner of an eye socket.

“it’s not ditching if I tell ya-“ he flinched, changing the word partway through, “-ou … you to do it.”

His grin was too wide. Too tight at the edges.

“if you don’t you’ll spend the entire time glancing over at them like a schoolgirl with a crush. just go.”

“i ain’- !“ Red began. His words were cut off with the pop of displaced air that came with shortcuts. A heavy weight rested on his shoulders, nearly knocking him over.

“heya Red,” Mutt said in a lazy drawl, his eyelights fixed on Sans. “gonna introduce me t’ yer date?”

“git offa me!” Red snarled in response, shoving the other away. Red glared up at Mutt as he snarled, “ya already know sans, asshole.”

“weird,” Mutt said as he continued to leer at Sans, who had his back carefully to Red and the interloper. Red could see his head was cocked just a little, listening to their conversation. “i thought that was sans. i take it yer little ‘date’ went well, then?”

Red flinched at the barely concealed mockery in Mutt’s voice, tensing for half a soulbeat. He dug his wallet from his pocket and shoved it toward Sans.

“mocha. small. double chocolate. get it t’go.”

“sure,” Sans agreed with a nod. The tattered trifold disappearing into his own hoodie pocket.

Red grabbed the ring of Mutt’s collar to drag him back to the table with the others.

He’d almost figured out the damned, infuriating puzzle that was Sans.

He wasn’t about to let Mutt fuck it up.

—Sans—

Sans watched Red drag Mutt away with a half-hearted smile. His soul clenched with desperate want, and he turned away before he could meet anyone’s eyelights.

They were staring at him. He could feel it.

He clenched his fists in his hoodie pockets, fighting the urge to scratch at the back of his neck. Trying to ignore the way his bones prickled uncomfortably with shame and fear.

He repeated Red’s order to himself softly, a mantra. He didn’t want to mess it up.

“small mocha, double chocolate, to go.”

Today had been enough of a disaster.

Sans should have never agreed to come out when he still had a visible bruise. Red had been tense since seeing it, even when he changed the subject. He kept glancing at the back of Sans’ hoodie, as if he could see the injury through the fabric.

Of course, Sans’ slip (heh) up of an explanation hadn’t helped.

His only excuse was being exhausted. Papyrus hadn’t let up on him after their fight, waking him early every day and sending him out to find a job.

(at least he was sleeping deeply enough that he didn’t have nightmares.)

He wasn’t getting enough sleep. He’d fallen back to his old go-to explanation: a smile and a pun about ice and slippers. He hadn’t updated it since they’d left the Underground.

He hadn’t needed to.

(had it really been that long since someone cared enough to ask?)

“small mocha, double chocolate, to go.”

Sans allowed himself a glance at the table, watching as Red talked with the others. He looked serious, and Sans wondered what they were talking about.

Red shifted and Sans saw a hint of the red of Pap’s scarf. He looked away, focusing on the menu board, hoping he hadn’t been caught staring.

Papyrus.

He wasn’t going to be happy that Sans was out with Red. Again.

He was supposed to be finding a job.

(a job Sans was increasingly thinking he wasn’t going to find.)

“small mocha, double chocolate, to go.”

A solitary night job was one thing. Finding a solitary day job was futile. The few places that had even bothered to call him back hadn’t had positions open that were away from … people. Cashiering and waitstaff jobs were plentiful. Jobs that limited his outside contact were few.

He hadn’t even bothered mentioning the callbacks to Papyrus.

(why bother when he’d … )

“small mocha, double chocolate, to go.”

He pulled his wallet from his pocket, counting out the G for two drinks so he wasn’t doing it at the counter. He left Red’s wallet where it was. He had been saving up, wanting to repay Red for his generosity.

He was able to pay.

He wanted to.

“Hello! Welcome to The Parlor,” the girl behind the register said. A cat monster, pale fur and (appropriately) a Cheshire grin. “What can I get you?”

“Uh … ” Sans stuttered as he forgot how to talk for a moment. He shook his head, trying to clear it. “Two small mochas. Double chocolate. To go. Please.”

“Certainly!” Cheshire smiled. She grabbed two small cups and a pen. “And your name?”

The girl misheard, or he mumbled too much, a mistake Sans only caught when he watched her hand the cups to a coworker.

SANDS

He chuckled, knowing there was some rite of passage to having a barista spell your name wrong. He wandered over to the pickup window, trying to think of a good pun or joke to use with it.

He wondered if he could make Red laugh.

—Red—

Halfway back to the table, Red lost his nerve. He let go of Mutt’s collar and approached the table with a small wave.

His off hand was clenched tightly deep in his pocket.

“didn’t expect t’ see yeh all here,” he said. He grunted as Mutt leaned on him again, arms crossed over his head. He shoved at the taller skeleton, but Mutt seemed determined to annoy him.

“WE DID NOT EXPECT TO SEE YOU, EITHER!” Blue said with a frown. “YOU HAVEN’T BEEN AROUND MUCH.”

“yeah,” Stretch agreed. He leaned back, balancing precariously as he sipped on his coffee. “when was the last poker night? must’ve been at least a month ago. feels like it’s been more’n that.”

Papyrus was looking toward the registers, expression and demeanor neutral.

“been busy,” Red said with a shrug, desperately hoping no one asked for particulars.

“SO HAS EDGE,” Blue said as his frown deepened. He pointed accusingly at his alternate, who hadn’t stopped looking through the ledger in front of him. “YOU’RE STARTING TO BE AS BAD AS BLACK!”

“IT IS BECOMING A PROBLEM,” Papyrus agreed as he focused back on the conversation, turning his frown to the coffee mug in front of him. “I HAVEN’T BEEN ABLE TO DISCUSS PUZZLE TECHNIQUES IN AGES.”

“I COULD TALK TO YOU ABOUT PUZZLE DESIGN!” Blue argued, eyes bright, excited by the idea.

“AND IF I WANT TO TALK ABOUT PUZZLES THAT CAN BE SOLVED WITH WIT ALONE, I WILL TALK TO YOU IMMEDIATELY,” Papyrus said with a bright smile.

Pride soothed, Blue returned the smile. He jumped when his phone began to vibrate in his pocket.

“OH! STARS,” he said as he pulled it out to silence it. “I HADN’T REALIZED HOW LATE IT WAS. PAPYRUS? STRETCH? WE SHOULD GET READY TO GO. THE MOVIE IS STARTING SOON!”

“THEN WE SHOULD LEAVE POSTHASTE!” Papyrus said, standing and pulling a thick coat around his shoulders.

“WE CAN AT LEAST SAY OUR ‘GOODBYES,’ PAPYRUS,” Blue said with a laugh. “WE’RE NOT GOING TO MISS ANYTHING.”

“TO BE GREAT ONE MUST ALWAYS ARRIVE AT LEAST FIFTEEN MINUTES EARLY. NOT A MOMENT SOONER, NOR LATER!” Papyrus secured his scarf with a flourish.

Blue frowned, glancing toward the registers.

“PAPYRUS, ARE YOU SURE YOU DON’T WANT TO SAY ‘HI’ TO SA - “

“STRETCH! THE CINEMA ON FOURTH STREET, IF YOU WOULD?” Papyrus said sharply, making everyone jump. He blushed, bowing his head. “I’M SORRY. I DO NOT WISH TO MISS THE PREVIEWS.”

“don’t worry about it,” Stretch said as he patted Papyrus’ shoulder. He raised his hand in a wave. “see ya later, red. mutt.” He gave the latter a fist bump. Then he waved a hand in front of Black’s face before saying, “black.”

Before he could respond, Stretch had vanished with Blue and Papyrus.

Black scowled at the empty spot they left, the expression quickly deepening with rage.

“THEY DIDN’T EVEN BOTHER TO CLEAN UP AFTER THEMSELVES!”

Mutt laughed as he wandered around to take a seat next to his brother.

“they were runnin’ late for their show, bro. it’s not like you’ve never left a mess before. remember at … was it breadbasket?”

“HOW WAS I TO KNOW?!” Black responded, defensive and sharp. He hid behind his ledger, only succeeding in making Mutt laugh harder. “THE HUMAN WAITSTAFF HAD BUSSED TABLES NEAR US! I THOUGHT IT WAS PART OF THE OFFERED SERVICES!”

“nowhere that has ya self-serve drinks is gonna bus your tables for you, bro,” Mutt said as his chuckles died down. He wiped at an eye socket with his sleeve.

Red glanced around, checking to see how annoyed the other patrons of the café were at the table’s antics.

He didn’t particularly want to get banned from The Parlor because of the Swapfells.

Sans was leaning against the pick up counter, staring at the floor.

“so, red,” Mutt asked in a low drawl. He was circling the rim of his mug with a finger, leaning lazily on his other hand. His teeth were pulled up in a calculating grin. “whatcha doin’ with sansy?”

“gettin’ coffee,” Red shrugged, “same as you.”

“huh,” Mutt said, sitting up straighter. “i thought yer little ‘date’ happened a month ago?” he frowned. “i didn’t think you’d keep leadin’ him on like this. seems a bit cruel, doncha think?”

“i ain’t leadin’ him nowhere,” Red said, dismissing the accusation.

Mutt looked up, meeting Red’s eyelights. There was a glimmer of something predatory in his eye.

“don’t tell me you caught feelings for him!”

Red glanced behind him, checking that Sans wasn’t coming up to the table. He didn’t want to get caught in some liar-revealed sitcom trope.

Sans was where he’d been the last time Red had checked. Staring at the floor and waiting on their drinks.

“there’s somethin’ weird about him,” Red said as he turned back toward the other two. “i’m tryin’ t’ figure out what it is.”

Mutt frowned, and Black looked up with a raised brow.

“what’s there t’ figure out?” Mutt scoffed with a roll of his eyelights. “papyrus doesn’t like him. pa-py-rus. he likes everyone!”

Red shrugged, unable to do more. He didn’t have time to detail out all the inconsistencies between expectation and reality.

He wasn’t sure how to explain that Sans … didn’t seem to be a bad guy.

That Papyrus might be … wrong.

“there’s somethin’ weird,” Red said, shrugging again as he turned away, waving at the Swapfell brothers over his shoulder. “and i’m gonna figure out what.”

NEXT CHAPTER

[creative-poptart]

Okay so first of all HI ROLE MODEL and second of all can we get a kinda sadder Christmas ask where the SwapFell/Underswap bros' Honorary Sibling has a Christmas chorus recital they really REALLY want the skeles to go to because they've been practicing for months and for some reason the skele boi can't make it and HS is really sad because "I just wanted to show you I can do something good. I wanted to make you proud." Sorry for sad boi hours ROLE MODEL

*Aww, sad boi hours are back again. However, this is something that can be taken as really sweet in its own way, knowing that they wanted to go! I’ll still tag it for sad boi hours, though.

(Also this is super heckin late anD I SHOULD NOT BE A ROLE MODEL WHAT)

SF Sans/Black: He knows right from the get-go that you are positively buzzing with energy, getting ready for this recital. It was basically all you could talk about for a long time, and Black wanted to see you perform for almost as long. However, as he works with some reasonably sensitive information, and with some rather influential people, there are times when his schedule will change abruptly. You can’t really do much about it, but Black’s going to try his best to keep your spirits up. If there’s anything he can do, especially once you tell him that you wanted to do this for him, he’s going to do it. If he can schedule a meeting a day sooner or a day later, Black will pull any strings he’s got to make sure that he can go to your recital. If he can manage it, you’ll see him sitting in the front row of the audience, beaming up at you with a small smile the whole time.

“I, OF COURSE, WAS WORRIED THAT I WOULDN’T BE ABLE TO MAKE IT IN TIME FOR THE RECITAL, BUT THE MEETING FINISHED EARLY! SO HERE I AM. A WONDERFUL PERFORMANCE, BY THE WAY.”

SF Papyrus/Rus: If there’s something you’re going to be putting on, whether it’s a recital or a play, he wants to be there. Rus isn’t going to let many things get in the way of seeing his honorary sibling do something they love to do. The only possibility that could stop him would be if something catastrophic were to happen, and, unlucky you, it does. While Rus was trying to make you something special for the end of your performance, the oven catches fire, and he has to call the fire department. Both of you are now upset in that he can’t make it as he had to stay behind and make sure that the house isn’t going to crumble under the charred wood and material. You’re very upset at this, but Rus promises that as soon as he can, he’ll be coming to see you perform. It takes almost the entirety of the recital, but he finally shows up, just in time to watch your part.

“you really think i would just leave you hangin’ on tonight of all nights? ‘course not, i gotta see my ‘lil sib perform in their show, it’s my duty as your older brother, isn’t it? you did great, though.”

US Sans/Blue: As soon as he catches wind that you’ve got any kind of performance going on, Blue is ready to go! He even goes so far as to help be a part of the set-up/tear-down crew, if they need extra hands. There is hardly a single thing that would be untouched by him, simply because he wants to be able to be there to support you! The only downside is when the committee chair, who was supposed to be in charge of safety, fails to see something falling, Blue’s too much of a sucker for the sacrificial save. He pushes them to safety, and before he can shortcut away, he’s underneath a hefty stack of chairs. Blue will be okay after a few hours, but the recital is that night, and you had so looked forward to him being there. No matter what the doctor says about it, he’s going to be at that recital, even if it’s in a wheelchair, a small bouquet of flowers ready for you.

“THAT WAS INCREDIBLE, SIBLING!! I QUITE ENJOYED THE PERFORMANCE YOU AND THE OTHERS PUT ON! HM? OH, I AM FINE, JUST DON’T HUG ME TOO HARD, MWEH HEH HEH!”

US Papyrus/Stretch: As much as this skeleton is more neutral about the arts, there is no way that your recital is going to be missed. Stretch may not be super inclined to see all sorts of other performances, as he mostly sleeps through them, but for you? He’s going to take as many naps as possible before everyone gets started to see you. That plan backfires miserably when he has to go to work and stays up much later than he intended to. Now Stretch’s exhausted, unable to even see straight, and you’re really upset that he might sleep through the whole thing. You eventually have to go to the recital, picked up by one of your friends, and he’s going to take a quick nap, with his loudest alarm ready to wake him. Stretch almost doesn’t make it in time, but teleportation is a beautiful thing for circumventing traffic and other such roadblocks.

“of course i’m here, why in toriel’s name would i miss something like this? it’s important to you, so of course, it’s going to be important to me. there would be nothing keeping me from this.”

Thanks for the ask, @an-ironic-cheesecake!!

[undertaleheadcannonsfromagremlin]

Can you do a scenerio where the skeleton is eating a meal the human made for them, mentioning that it's pretty salty and the human blushing and saying that in their family it's said that a person who makes salty meals is in love? With fs Papyrus, us Sans, ht bros and hs bros?

That’s actually a pretty interesting, yet adorable concept.

Rus (Fellswap Papyrus)- Honestly he doesn’t mind how salty it was, though out of curiosity, he had asked them if they added too much salt by accident, not that he was complaining. When the human confesses that people in their family tend to make meals salty when they’re in love, he might be a bit confused about it at first, wondering why, and who the human was interested in, it may take a bit longer for him to get it. And once he gets it, his skull is covered in blush. 

Blue (Underswap Sans)- He flinches at how salty it is, his smile wavers as he ask if they accidentally put too much salt in it, though once he learns the reason, he’s excited, though concerned. Perhaps he can help his friend start a new food tradition to show that they love someone, because he’s immediately concerned for those who might date someone from their family that strictly can’t have too much salt. Though otherwise, he finds this sweet!

Paprika (Horrortale Papyrus)- He can immediately tell that they had put in too much salt in the food, and when he casually brings it up, and hearing their reason, a blush burns his skull, oh, oh my! This human loved him? Well, he’ll need to return the gesture, surely! His future s/o should look out for when he makes them their favorite food too often. 

Sinister (Horrortale Sans)- He’ll eat it without mentioning anything, food is food, so he doesn’t care if its off. It may take a bit more for him to figure out why his friend made the food much saltier then they would normally make. He just loves whatever they make him, so he doesn’t complain. He probably needs to be given multiple hints as to why the food is made saltier then its supposed to. 

Clove (Horrorswap Sans)- He takes a few bits, recognizing that there is a bit too much of one ingredient. He will mention it to his friend, with a light smile as he tells them that next time they can cook together so that this doesn’t happen again. Though when the true reason on why its salty comes out, he’s actually shocked, before a grin appears and he engulfs his friend in a hug. They’re so sweet!

Dread (Horrorswap Papyrus)- Not too sure how they became friends with this loner, but yet, here he is, ready to eat what his friend had made for him. He could immediately tell that its salty, though doesn’t mention anything until after a meal, his friend went through so much trouble for him, its the least he can do. He will end up being shocked with what they confess, he quickly looks to them to see if they’re lying, he’s half convinced that they’re lying, that this was all just some cruel joke. But once he realizes that they really do love him, a nervous chuckle would escape him, questioning if they really want to be with someone like him, he wasn’t exactly the easiest person to be around, he was paranoid and and was very insistent on personal space. Huh, they really love him... 

First time doing horrorswap, please let me know if you like how I did them or not, dearies!
