#snackers

Over the last few months, you've been getting a lot more flowers on your body than before. You had some before, but now it was just getting a little out of hand! You had no idea what was happening to your soulmate, and you were sad that they had to be hurt. Every time you got a new flower on your body, you would think about your soulmate and wonder, "Just what are they doing?" but you never could get an answer.

The flowers were pretty, at least. You learned that they were called blue hyacinths! They were pretty, sure, but you really did wish that you didn't have to see them so often… 

Life was going as per normal; you went throughout your day like you would any other day until you heard that monsters were coming from the underground—or, at least, they already did. They were being asked a lot of questions before being allowed to go and 'live' with the humans. You heard all the panicked whispers when the monsters appeared in your town, but you ignored all of that.

They were… so interesting! They all looked like they needed help; I mean, one of them was missing their bottom jaw! You felt bad for their soulmate. A spider monster seemed to be helping that one, and she was pretty, if a bit… scary-looking.

Truthfully, they were all pretty scary-looking, if you had to be honest. One of them, a skeleton like the first one, had a large row of very sharp teeth, some poking out, and it looked like being bit by that one would really hurt, but he seemed so excited! It was sort of cute. He looked like a puppy, in a way.

He was going around, trying to say hi to people, but they would either back up from him, say hi, then hurry away, or just… run away. It made you feel bad since, hey, you knew that some people would really like him! You nibble your bottom lip, then step closer and raise your hand, smiling as you say, "Hi there… I'm Y/n; what's your name?"

He looked at you and grinned, stepped closer, and started to talk, explaining that his name was Snackers and that the other skeleton was his sibling, Butcher! They were both so happy to be out of the underground. As he spoke, his stomach, or at least what you thought was his stomach, growled, and he blinks, his eyeshines shooting down. You had to stop yourself from giggling, and you smiled, pointing over your shoulder and saying, "Why don't you two come over to my house? I can make you two dinner?" You wanted to be nice! It isn't anything bad or weird, right?

The two of them look at each other, then Butcher nods and rubs their neck. You weren't really sure how they were going to eat, but you weren't going to question it just yet.

And that's how you ended up with two skeletons in your house while you were cooking in the kitchen. Snackers was leaning against the counter, watching you. It felt sort of like a cat with how his eyeshines followed you closely. "Do you want anything special?" You decided to ask, and he shakes his head, "No meat." Is all he said at first, "For either of us, please." That was a bit strange to you, though you figured it made a bit of sense? You decided to make veggie burgers! You knew how to make them because of a job you had a little while ago… you got fired. That’s not part of the story, though!

Over the next few months, you hung out a lot with Snackers and Butchers. Mostly Snackers, and he seemed to really like you! More often than not, he would walk over, hug onto you, and just start to ramble about everything and anything that he wanted to talk about. Butcher was a bit easier to deal with because, well, they couldn’t talk! They always just wrote stuff in their notebooks or their dry erase board.

Today Snackers decided to come over, and you were cooking something! Something special for them. You weren’t sure WHY they didn’t eat meat, though you figured that there was probably a good reason for it. They always made sure that you weren’t cooking with it before coming over. When you heard the knocking on the door, it caused you to jolt, and the knife slipped, cutting your finger. You hiss softly, looking down, “Ugh… give me a minute!” you hurry off to clean the blood off and wrap up your finger with a bandage.

As you were putting on the bandage, the front door got opened, and Snackers called out, “Hey Y/n, are you okay?” You look over your shoulder and call back, “I’m fine! Just cut my finger!” he paused for a moment, “Which one?” you responded which and walked out of the bathroom just to see him, causing you to jolt, and you stared at him with big eyes, then he smiled and held up his hand, where a flower had grown on the finger you said. Before you could respond, he laughed and rushed forward, hugging you tight and nuzzling his skull against your head, tail wagging. 

"Sweetheart, what did you bury in the garden?"

Snackers tensed up when he heard the voice, slowly turning his head to see his datemate looking at him, with their arms crossed over their chest.

He slowly shuts his mouth, which made a click sound, and his eyeshine shoots over to look at the door to the garden. "Uhh... N...No...Nothing?"

Y/n laughs, shaking their head "Snackers, come on, I told you not to put stuff out there like that; you don't have to hide things anymore. Go dig it up!"

Telling Snackers that you were pregnant wasn't really that scary, to be honest? Why would it be scary? You knew that Snackers loved the idea of having children!

…

Right?

He had to like children, it wasn't like you could go back in time and stop it! You had no idea that you could even have children with him, to be honest.

It wasn't because of the low amount of magic he had! No, not at all, but more… ah… the fact that you were a human and he was a skeleton.

You decided to do it in a really cute way though! To tell him, I mean. You had a lot of plans.

Once you were done baking, you sent him a message 'hey Snackers!' 'It's Y/n, do you think you could come over? I made cupcakes' You got a message of a few emojis, something that he honestly did a bit too much of.

With that, you went to sit down.

When Snackers got there he let himself in like he normally did, and he looks over at you making him smile and he hurries over to you, hugging onto you and nuzzling into your chest, purring loudly “Y/n!” he chirps, happily. You laugh, petting the top of his head. He always acted like he hadn't seen you in years when you literally saw him a few days ago.

While he was nuzzling you his grip tightens a little, and he pulls back to look up at you frowning “You smell different…” he mumbles, then leans up and starts to sniff at your neck.

How the heck could they even smell? You didn't know. “What do you mean?” you ask, feeling a little nervous “h-Hey maybe you should have one of the cupcakes” you giggle a little, trying not to feel too nervous.

Snackers hums but nods and picks up one of the cupcakes, taking a bite from it and perks up when he saw the two different colors inside it. Pink and blue?

He stares at it, then looks over at you, tilting his head to the side “Hm?” he was confused. You let out a little laugh, not being able to stop it, and you lift up the test to show it. His eyes widen and he pushes the rest of his cupcake into his mouth then he hugs you tightly, nuzzling his face against yours.

…

You'd most likely tell him while he's cooking, even though he's supposed to be pretty much banned from the kitchen, and he turns his head to look at you quickly.

He seemed shocked! “W-What?” You tell him again, smiling faintly, and he runs over to you. He reaches up putting his hands on your tummy bouncing a little on his boots.

He couldn't run or move as much as he used to, but right now the pain was in the back of his mind. “You're pregnant! B...Baby pregnant” he pats your tummy, while you giggle patting the top of his head and he nuzzles his face into your stomach. It might not be showing yet, but he was really happy.
