i think drunk gaster around papyrus would be a beautiful disaster. imagine the emotions that would come out from being around another skeleton in that state. one that looks so much like him, too. gaster holding his face with one hand, turning him and studying his skull, remembering skeletons he used to know, feeling anothers bones under his hands again…

papyrus is dimly aware that gaster has some deep-seated trauma related to being the only remaining skeleton for a long time, and he has been DYING for physical touch ever since he left sans in the ruins, so he’s silently very happy to be getting this kind of attention, to be admired like this

one hand holds papyrus’s face, the other traces his fingers along the vertebrae of his neck, holds his hand up to inspect it, runs his thumb through the gaps between the bones of his hand

papyrus feels… studied, taken apart, but not invasively like back in the lab

back then he felt like a dog in a cage, only seen for his flaws, anything good about him being brushed aside as expected and unworthy of notice or praise, but now gaster is looking at him like hes a work of art

gaster pulls his face a little closer with both hands and presses their foreheads together

“I’m sorry. About… everything.”

“I KNOW, SILLY. YOU’RE BETTER NOW, THAT’S WHAT MATTERS.”

oh hes 100% the “i dont get jealous *silently seethes every time his favourite person talks to someone else*” type

gaster steals papyrus’s spot on the couch, so pap goes “have it your way” and sits on his lap. the twins going “ooooooo~” every time gaster mentions asgore for any reason. all three of them being codependent on each other to the point that their closeness and lack of boundaries is kind of unsettling to the townspeople

WAIT HOLY SHIT PARENTIFIED GASTER

HE WOULD FUCKING DO THAT

post-plates, papyrus is just happy to get any attention at all but sans picks up on it Really Fucking Quick and shuts it down at every turn

pre-plates mercy though…… ough

i think sans would still pick up on it and tell papyrus to be careful, but maybe itd take a bit longer and some subconscious threads of attachment would tether to gaster before he realized it, making it ever so slightly easier for gaster to make him like him >:3

YOU HAVE NEVER MISSED IN YOUR ENTIRE LIFE

wondering why he feels so warm and fuzzy when they focus on him, only to feel cold and bitter when they ignore him in favour of each other……..
