Skellies and Friends

I am ALWAYS up for more Grillby! And don’t worry about it being too long, especially since it’s only for one character!

Undertale Grillby (Grillby)

At first, Grillby is just horrified. How could one person be so… dangerous…? He couldn’t find the right word to describe how concerning it was that you could so easily hurt yourself with the way you cooked. At first, he’d asked you to handle boiling some water so that he didn’t have to risk getting too close. He’d been at the opposite side of the kitchen, prepping some food for the night’s service when he heard something pop. He spun on his heel, half expecting you to have dropped something, but instead he sees the pot steaming and steaming water dotting everywhere, including you. He rushed over, quickly grabbing a dry washcloth and cleaning the boiling water off you as quick as he could. After that, he watched the water boil with you, confused when nothing happened. How did you even manage that? Later on, he gives you other things to help out with, behind the bar and as far away from the kitchen as he can get you.

@babyfacedadult I just got the notification for this today! Thank you so so much!! I teared up, this was so sweet!!!

You can read it here, under the cut, or here at AO3!

I’m glad you liked it! For those who didn’t read/see the first one, you can find it here!

Undertale Sans (Sans/Classic)

The next morning, you wake up feeling confused and disoriented. You’re definitely not in your house, and the thing that ends up telling you where you are is Papyrus helping you sit up and giving you a glass of water. There’s a Sans firmly attached to one of your hands, so you have to use the free one. Once you’ve had something to drink, you ask Papyrus what happened. He relays what he remembers and goes to reheat some food for you. As you consider what he said and try to play through the events of the day before, a memory with surprising clarity flashes by. You remember Sans trying to push you into his car and you saying… something…

A gasp escapes you and you pull your hand from Sans’ grip, the sudden motion and force waking him up. He looks up blearily at you, grinning when he sees that you’re awake. “hey, there. your lookin’ better.” You immediately start blurting out apologies. He just raises a brow bone. “ya know,” he says, getting up and moving over to the TV. “i hear being sick for humans is a lot like being drunk. they say what they’ve been meaning to say.” He plays around with the CD player for a while before grabbing a couple remotes and sitting beside you on the couch. He’s got a lazy grin and the beginnings of blue blush spreading across his cheekbones. “so, since you’re recoverin’, how about a movie date?”

Underswap Papyrus (Stretch)

For the first time in what feels like forever, Stretch wakes up before someone in the same building. He sits up, stretching slowly and blinking over at your sleeping form. Your eyebrows are pulled in, breathing still a little unhealthily. Checking the time on his phone, he decides its probably a good time to wake you up and make sure you’re not getting sicker.

He shakes you awake, vaguely concerned when you only stare at him blankly. “ya know, most people are willing to talk more after giving a love confession.” You blink a few more times, eyes widening as you wake up and fully comprehend what he said. The memory flashes back, and you audibly squeak as you sit up and launch yourself against the back of the couch. You immediately apologize, begging him to not think you’re creepy. You certainly hadn’t intended to come to his house. In fact, you’d been on your way home, but must have just come here instead because you trusted and liked him so much…

When you notice the orange spreading across his cheekbones, you pause your word vomit and replay it in your head, noticing the words where you essentially confessed again. You mumble quietly about not needing to tell anyone so that he doesn’t have to feel awkward or anything. When he doesn’t respond, you go to stand up, ready to flee and spend the rest of eternity curled up in your room.

He grabs you as you make your escape, pulling you back down next to him. “nuh-uh. don’t think you can get out of this that easy.” He’s got a grin on his face. One that seems… more honest that his usual one. “now tell me all about this trust and likin’,” he mumbles.

Thanks for the warm welcome back! I’m really glad to be back! And I’m totally comfortable with service dog asks, for the record! I have a service dog of my own who helps with scratching and panic attacks, so I can understand some stuff with what it’s like. Mine’s still technically in training, though. She has a bad habit of jumping on people to try and get pet and barking at dogs since she wants to play… ^.^’’

And for this particular ask, I’m going to go with them meeting the dog, working and in-vest, for the first time. If that’s not quite what you wanted, send in another ask and I’ll answer it that way!

     ~ UndertaleSans (Sans/Classic)

Oh. Look, you have a dog. He didn’t know you had a dog. At first, he has an honest desire to pet pat pat pet, but then he sees the vest. Service dog? There weren’t any service dogs underground. So, he asks you about it, wondering what it’s for. It takes a bit for him to flounder about with his words and for you to realize he’s asking about service dogs in general. After learning what they do in general, he really wants to pet it because it, just like Lesser and Greater dogs is such a good dog, but he knows he can’t. Instead, he smoothly asks if he can hang out with you when your dog isn’t working.

Grillby (Grillby)

The fire man was enjoying a slow night at the bar, carefully wiping down some old glasses and doing inventory. He glances up when the door chimes, hesitating at the vested dog standing tightly to its owners side. He goes to say something about no animals being allowed, but then sees the vest. When you take a seat at a booth, he glides over, simultaneously happy to see you again and confused as to why you have an animal. Seeing your smile, he gently greets you, letting you know in his usual, quiet way, that he’s glad to see you. After making sure you want your usual, he asks if it’s all right for him to know about your service dog. He listens intently as you tell him, and he nods sagely.

Later, right before you leave, he comes in from the back and hands you a small bag. He won’t tell you what’s in it, but when you get home, you find a set of freshly baked dog cookies. What a sweetheart.

     ~ UnderfellSans (Red)

Why’d you bring a dog to your date??? He’s… very confused. When you explain what purpose the dog holds, he just gets quiet. After a while he changes the subject. Near the end of the date, he asks how you went about getting and training a service dog. A year or so later, you go with him to pick one out to begin its training. He really needs one for his anxiety attacks, and once it finishes its training, you’re both much happier.

Papyrus (Edge)

DOG. WHY, DATEMATE? He’s confused. You know he hates dogs. Why would you bring a dog. For a few minutes, he’s horrified. But then he just wants to know why. He hears about why and nods for a bit. Then he nods and simply says, “THIS DOG IS CLEARLY THE ONE CANINE THAT IT OKAY.” After that, you find bags of treats and toys randomly appearing around your house and in your bags and pockets. He’s a huge supporter of whatever helps you. He prides himself of being the one to help you get help.

Grillby (Spitfire)

Why do you need a dog when you have him? Spitfire is decently possessive, so he spends a lot of time being jealous of this creature that takes care of you in his place. How dare it think it can do better than he can. He’ll keep basically ignoring it until he hears of it helping you when he’s not around to do so. After than, he spends a lot of time making sure it has everything it needs. He’ll also talk to you about having it trained for a few protective commands (i.e., growling on command or fake-biting). If he had his way, it would snap at anyone that went near you, but he understands that it needs to act a certain way to properly keep you healthy.

Underswap Papyrus (Stretch)

Hello! Sorry for the late response, I had little to no internet for a few days! I was supposed to be back a few days ago, but it kept taking longer. Again, I’m really sorry!!!

As for how they get along, SF Sans (who I’ll refer to as Sans from now on for ease) is constantly worried for her. In the SF universe, Myst hides (or hid) deep in Waterfall. Many monsters covet her healing abilities, so she’s essentially in danger whenever she goes out. Sans knows that, so sometimes he gets worried when she goes out on her own or if he hears someone talking about her healing. This can sometimes translate into him being a bit of a tyrant from trying to keep her safe (occasionally trying to control her) and yelling when he’s overly concerned. Otherwise, he’s usually super sweet to her, and though he doesn’t usually say it, he thinks he’s the luckiest monster alive to have her as his mate/partner.

He doesn’t really know how aging in Unicorns work, so he’s not concerned about that. However, despite the fact it slightly lessens her lifespan, Myst will heal Sans and his brother no matter their injury. From something as small as a bump to something as big as a missing limb, she’ll heal them both. From the moment her and Sans got together, she was perfectly willing to do whatever it took to keep them both safe and sound.

In public (in the underground), Sans does his best to make himself (and her, if she’ll let him) seem more intimidating and harsh so as to try and discourage monsters from hurting or kidnapping her. At home, he always likes to be touching her in some way, even if it’s just holding hands or leaning against her, since it reminds him that she’s really there. Aboveground, he’s slightly more relaxed in public, but still tries to keep an eye out and does his best to not show weaknesses.

Aw! Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy!

     ~ UnderfellSans (Red)

Laughs at first. Once he calms down, he looks the friend straight in the eye, his eyelights disappearing, and says, “listen, i know i don’t deserve ‘em. no one deserves ‘em. i’ll just do my best and let you know that if anyone hurts ‘em, it won’t be me, and you’ll have to get in line right behind me to defend ‘em.” After that, his usual grin is in place and his eyelights return. He’s grinning a bit wider than usual, a little strained, but won’t tell you what happened. He just gives you a hug (or your non-touch equivalent) and tells you that he likes this friend of yours.

Papyrus (Edge)

Screeches in indignation at first. How dare this person who claims to be your friend even suggest that he would hurt you! And he lets them know. “WHILE I CONCUR THAT MY WONDERFUL PARTNER IS THE SWEETEST CINNAMON BUN, I TAKE OFFENSE TO YOUR THOUGHT THAT I WOULD EVEN CONSIDER HURTING THEM!” He puffs his chest out proudly and leans in. “AND I’LL BE KEEPING AN EYE ON YOU, AS WELL. YOU’D BEST HOPE YOU DON’T HURT THEM.” It might be in your best interest to not tell him that he screamed the whole thing so loud you could’ve heard him a mile away.

     ~ SwapfellSans (Black/Blackberry)

Black scoffs, rolling his eyes. Though, to some extent, he can understand. You could hardly last at the worst of the Underground, and he knows how sweet you are. It would be too dangerous for you. So, after thinking on it for a bit, he nods and look at your best friend. His voice is oddly quiet, and all he says is, “you have my word.” You deserve the world, and he’s going to make sure that world doesn’t hurt you one bit.

Papyrus (Rus)

Undertale Sans (Sans/Classic)

When he sees you at the door, he gets concerned. Not only did you just show up out of the blue, which you never do, you don’t look… well. You’re burning up when he touches you, and the way you’re acting is only making him more worried. He’s about to say some pun about your having a fever, while trying to push you out the door and into his car, when you finally say something. His face flushes blue and he pulls you back into the house. He gets you set up on the couch, calling Papyrus to go buy some medicine for you. When Papyrus gets back, he finds you bundled and sleeping on the couch, with Sans sitting on the floor and holding one of your hands.

When the two of you wake up, he’ll make sure you’re well taken care of. He won’t bring up what you said until you’re feeling better.

Underfell Sans (Red)

Red glances around out of habit, making sure that no one saw you show up in your weakened state. He drags you in and plops you down on the couch, wishing that Edge (Underfell Papyrus) was home since he would know what to do. Instead, he just grabs a glass of water and effectively forces it down your throat. When you don’t seem to be getting better, he wraps you up in a few blankets and goes to call Alphys. Your hand weakly trails after him, and, despite his worried state, he manages to hear your mutter. He freezes where he was, standing there for a solid minute. After snapping out of it, he picks you up and brings you to his room, cuddling with your sick burrito self. Well, if you like him back, there’s no reason to not go right ahead, right?

Underswap Papyrus (Stretch)

When he sees your state outside his house, he pulls you in and calls Blue (Underswap Sans) to get some supplies. He also gives his Alphys a call, checking for things like temperature and what to give you to eat. Once that’s set, he wraps you up and gets up to see if they have the right ingredients for what she suggested. You latch onto his arm, physically pulling him down beside you despite your weakened state. “noooo… I love you and you make me feel better.” He just grins, leaning against you. “sure, hun. just get some sleep.” He’ll be more apt to believe you when you’re fully coherent.

Swapfell Papyrus (Rus)

Immediately starts fussing over you when you show up. He’s never dealt with sick humans. Why are you here? Why are you so unwell? Did someone poison you? To all of his questions, you just mumble quietly, letting him lift you up and bring you into the safety of his room. He brushes a bunch of garbage off his bed, cracking open a window so the smell of cigarettes goes away. As he bundles you up, he’s also opening his phone and looking up your symptoms online. WebMD is absolutely not helpful when it tells him you have some horrible incurable disease. He gets up, ready to call an ambulance, when you mumble the words. When he hears the words, he just melts beside you.

The next morning, you wake up to him curled up on the floor beside the bed. You don’t remember how you got there, and when you wake him up to ask, he just starts crying. Mixed in are ‘I love you, too’’s and him asking you to not get so sick again.

Horrortale Sans (Ax)

“oh. that’s not healthy.” As morbid as it is, he knows his meat. And you’re definitely not doing okay. He leads you in, sitting you in the kitchen while he makes some soup and gets some water for you. After you’ve had enough to drink and he’s forced some broth in you, he brings you up to his room. If his brother found you on the couch, he’d probably wake you up with his louder than normal voice. You’d probably wake up with a headache, so it was best that you got enough sleep. He’s got you wrapped up in some of his warmest blankets and the humidifier he stole from his brother’s closet is going full blast. When he goes to leave, he hears you murmur something other your breath. He asks you to repeat yourself, flush working across his bones when he processes the words. Hand scratching at his socket, he chuckles. “you’re gonna be the death of me,” he mumbles, settling himself beside you but above the blankets.

That’s right! I was dreadfully empty :P Yours is one of two, so I’m excited to keep answering! I’m also really excited for Undyne and Grillby! It’s been a while since I’ve done asks for them.

As for the anxiety thing, I feel you. Sometimes I go completely non-verbal when I get too anxious. It can be rough, so I hope you’re doing well!

    ~ UndertaleUndyne (Undyne)

Undyne is used to helping Alphys with her anxiety, so she’s done a lot of research into it. One of the first things she does when she notices it the first time is she checks her phone, exclaims that you and her are late for something, and gently leads you away where there are no prying eyes. The first time, she lets it go by, since she knows different people need different things and doesn’t want to make it worse.

After the first time, once you’ve completely calmed down, she sits down with you and, oddly quiet for her, asks how she can help. Once you explain what you need when that happens, she just nods and changes the subject. She brings you somewhere and you forget about the whole thing.

When it happens again, she does just as you asked. When you try to thank her, she changes the subject. It’s what’s right. She doesn’t feel she should be thanked for that.

Grillby (Grillby)

It happens for the first time at his bar. You’re at the counter with a few of his and your friends. Even as noise fills the room with the bar getting busier, you just keep getting quieter. It’s when you’ve been quiet for a while that he notices how different you were from earlier. He watches you while he works. When he sees it getting worse, he glances around the bar and nods resolutely. He looks over the counter and quietly announces he needs help. Moments later, he nominates you and leads you through the fire door and into the kitchen. He leaves you there while you calm yourself down, going about his business.

Once you’ve calmed down, he teaches you how to sign the phrase “need help”, so that he knows when you need to get away from the others. It isn’t the best solution, but he doesn’t want to force you to tell everyone else. He actually enjoys having you back there while he works on his burgers and fries. It’s a nice change.

     ~ Underswap Sans (Blue/Blueberry)

I actually had this answered a while ago, but my answer got deleted and I lost the inspiration :/ Technology is a blessing and a curse. Sorry it took so long for me to finally get to this!

     ~ Undertale

Sans (Sans/Classic)

Instantly freezes. Forgets what he was talking about. Forgets his own name. “uh, what was that last part?” When you repeat yourself, he just clings to you and cries. Tears pour from his sockets at an almost alarming rate. He doesn’t know how great he’ll be as a dad, but you? You’ll be a perfect parent.

Papyrus (Papyrus/Papy)

He keeps going for a bit, slowly getting quieter and trailing off. He stays silent for so long you start to fidget in your seat. “F-father…?” At your nod, he picks you up and cuddles you close. He switches his rant to how great you are and how he will be the best dad and think of all the supplies you need! He makes the whole list of things during the rant, happily chattering. Once he’s done with that, he calls everyone he knows to let them know he’s going to be a father.

      ~ Underfell

Sans (Red)

Disappears. Poof. There he goes. The revelation was a bit too much for him to handle, so he just vanishes. He’ll be back later to talk it over with you. He has a hard time showing it through all the anxiety, but he’s really happy. He can’t wait to show of his kid to everyone that’ll look. The next few months he’ll be pampering you.

Papyrus (Edge)

He pauses his rant, lecturing you on how rude it is to interrupt someone while they’re talking before continuing where he left off. He finishes his whole rant and walks off to go make dinner. Never once does he mention what you said.

That night, while you’re sleeping and he’s off doing more housework, the door to your shared room slams open, shocking you awake. He’s staring at you, screeching in his ‘I don’t know what to say way’. When you finally ask him why the heck he woke you up, he asks you to repeat what you said during his rant. When you can’t, simply confused, he repeats it for you. At your affirmative, he shuts the door, takes off his apron, and cuddles into the bed with you.

Don’t point out the wetness on your shoulder.

     ~ Swapfell

Sans (Black/Blackberry)

Immediately shoves his skull next to your stomach, trying to hear… something? You’re not quite sure what he’s doing and, when asked, he doesn’t seem sure either. You have to explain that you’re not far enough along for him to feel the baby kick, and you can’t hear it’s heartbeat without equipment. He nods sagely, lifting you into his arms and bringing you to the car. It’s shopping time, and be prepared for a long event. His child will only have the best. As will his pregnant s/o.
