Imagine the Underground

Aww thanks, hon! /)///(\ It really makes my day to hear complements on my writing!

UT Grillby: He knew. Some part of him knew more than he ever wanted to admit. Because he was around when the barrier was first sealed. He saw that same flicker of your previous self in your eyes the instant he met you in the form you are now. The difference was that before that flicker was malice and contempt for monsters and now it’s compassion. He had originally kept an eye on you, curious about what you would do... as it turns out, you noticed him.

UT Sans: It’ll take some effort to get him to actually send you one but after a handful of jokes and memes (because you know that he’s going to send you at least a handful of cat videos) you’re going to get one. If you were less focused on him and more focused on his surroundings you’d see he even cleaned his room up just a little bit for the picture. It’s almost a shame your completely focused on him.

UT Papyrus: No. Don’t make him do that. If you ask him to do it though he’s going to send you a picture. It’s going to be of him blushing a deep orange and looking nervous. He trusts you with his non-existent heart (if I had one I would give it to you, it is unfortunate I’m a skeleton!) and soul but he’s unusually shy about sending you this picture. It’s better if you can just come see him and it in person. 

UF Papyrus: He’s not shy about it. Of course you want a picture of what he’s working with. He assumes you’re going to use it to brag to your friends because words are never enough proof. He’ll make you wait. He’ll call you before sending it to you, as well. He’s going to keep you on the phone, growling and purring in your ear as you scream out for him. By the time he finally sends you a picture of it, you’ll probably have already come at least twice from the words alone.

SF Paps: Growing up Swapfell Papyrus had a little wolf puppy. He still has it but considering how rough things are in the underground, you won’t find out about Ruffles until after you’re an item. Even then if you find it it’s most likely an accident. SF Sans had tried to take him from SF Paps once before, thinking that it would help toughen him up. This actually resulted in one of the few fights that the brothers ever had. It also ended with Ruffles taking a lot of damage, getting dozens of rips and missing one of his legs. SF Sans will almost never admit a mistake but even he knows he crossed a line. Ruffles got mostly fixed--they had no black material and trading with Muffet almost never turns out in anyone’s favor. The holes and tears were patched up with white, making a skeleton-patterned dog. It’s still a sore subject for Sans, even if Papyrus insists he like him better this way.

US Paps: You know those bears that are so well worn and loved when you hold them you can smell dust mixed in with the stuffing? This is one of those. He got this golden-furred bear shortly before Sans was born. US Papyrus used to practice holding and carrying this little bear so he could eventually hold Sans. Unlike his SF counterpart, US Sans doesn’t mind showing everyone this thing. In fact, if you’ve ever been in his room you’ve probably seen it. He keeps it on a stack of joke books and one strangely large science book. He loves this thing. Because he practiced carrying it around when he was little it reminds him of Sans. Her name is Um. (If you catch him half-sleepy you can pry the information out of him that the name actually stands for Ursa Major.) 

Have you ever wanted a famous painting recreated on your stomach while you’re sleeping? Well, it’s gonna happen. It’s really amazing how many different paintings can be perfectly replicated on a baby bump while you’re asleep. You’re amazed at how you can’t even feel the brushes on your skin.

You’re going to see your baby before it’s born. Correction: you’re going to see every possible combination of what your baby could look like before it’s born. Every one. Be ready, if the painting are anything to go for, there’s a 1/7000 chance it’s going to be really really ugly. 

Ink actually makes really amazing Sea Tea. Not only does it calm your nerves but it makes your body hurt a lot less. 

He’s going to ask if there’s a universe you want to raise the baby in. He’s worried about you going to any specific universe because the threat of destruction is always there, but he wants you to be happy and feel at home and so he’ll do his best to make that home wherever you like. 

I have to say that there’s gonna be a lot of Sans I think would go great with you. Unfortunately, much like being unable to pet every cat, one cannot date every Sans. And nobody takes the lead like…Dancetale Sans. He’s excellent as socializing as well but he also knows when enough is enough. One of the nicest things about going out with him is he will be able to tell your low point before you run out of energy. He knows your mental and physical stamina and if you ever overdo it, he’s gonna be the first one that comes to help.  He’s not one for dancing so much anymore, but he can always appreciate the arts. He’ll watch you for hours if you let him. There’s something magical about each stroke of the pen, each line, and he even seems to see perfection in any mistakes you make. It can honestly get kind of annoying if you get frustrated only to hear him tell you that whatever you’re working on is the second most beautiful thing he’s ever seen. He’ll tell you the first is you. He might not be super into dancing anymore, but he is into you. He can tell, even if you don’t ask, if you want to dance. If you want to dance with him, but don’t know how—well there’s no better teacher. He won’t teach you any one style really, but he’ll show you many different kinds and let you chose for yourself which you want to do. No matter what style you pick though, it seems to match with his hip hop moves perfectly. No he’s not changing his style a little to sync up with yours. That’s sappy. Don’t give him that look. At 3 AM like clockwork, if it’s windy or rainy or snowy, he has your coat ready. If you’re not feeling up to it, but still want coffee, he’ll make the coffee run for you. If you want Skittles, he knows a convenience store on the way that’s still open and he’ll get you two packs. He’s still a bit cheeky, though, and when you’re eating the Skittles he might try to steal a kiss. Just tasting the rainbow. You can throw something at him, he’ll dodge it. It’s fine.Hm? What’s that? A competitor for your affections? Now. I’ve already done a Mafiatale Sans match up recently buuuut… I couldn’t help myself. Also it got really long.Added a link for mobile!

~It should go without saying but be nice to Papyrus. If you’re nice to Papyrus that’s half the battle.

~The best way to seduce him is to NATURALLY fail at seduction. This one’s a tricky one because you can’t force it. It has to happen on it’s own but the harder the fail, the more charming he actually finds it. An example would be, set up a nice romantic picnic and as you’re pulling out the blanket trip and land face-first into the macaroni salad. He’s going to find it hilarious. And honestly, he needs someone who can make life seem less serious.

~Put the shoe on the other foot, make him laugh. It doesn’t have to be accidental slapstick to make him laugh. If you’re quick-witted and enjoy puns and the two of you get a good back-and-fourth he’s going to really start to enjoy and seek out your company. 

~If you are naturally seductive and can’t make him laugh with jokes, don’t laugh at his puns when they aren’t funny. Easy may be good in an audience but it’s not going to work out for you two in the long term. Instead, groan at his puns with a grin and roll your eyes. He likes to know you’re listening and not just laughing at everything he says. 

~Find an interest you both like. DON’T try to fake an interest just because he likes it. He can tell. He knows. He always knows. 

~Let him wrap his arms around you. It doesn’t matter if it’s sleeping or just chilling out together. He likes to feel like he can protect you. He’s already lost a lot in his life, he’s never going to lose you.

For this one I actually went with a few crush headcanons and one S/O headcanon. I hope you don’t mind!

Crush

~After you come by a few times he’s going to start putting aside one of your favorites just for you. It’s not so much that he wants to give you special treatment, but the last time he ran out of your favorite before you got there you had looked so sad. He hated seeing you that way. 

~It must be hot in here, because you're making me melt.One scoop of me, plus one scoop of you, equals a big bowl of cute!I'm not here to play mind games. Except brain-freeze.You put the 'hot' in hot fudge sundae. How did pick up lines get on the inside of your Nice Cream wrapper? At first you don’t think anything of it but once you start giggling it’s hard to miss the Nice Cream Guy’s blush. This only makes you giggle more. 

~He likes it when you show up just a few minutes before it’s time to close the cart because there are so few customers around. He doesn’t even realize until you walk away that it’s now nearly an hour past the time he was supposed to close the cart. 

S/O

He’s not going to let you do a thing. Once he finds out there’s a new member of the family on the way, you’re not gonna lift a muscle. (You might try to lift some muscles trying to pry him off you.)

He’s not likely to let you go easily and is always pulling you onto his lap.This is going to increase in frequency the further along you get--especially once the baby bump starts showing. 

You know that baby is going to have a 3-piece suit. 

Once your feet start swelling prepare for daily foot massages by master hands. He’s going to do his damnedest to make sure that you’re comfortable.

There is a loaded gun in your diaper bag in the near future. He just wants to make sure if anything happens you’re ready. 

You hardly go anywhere alone when pregnant so prepare for that. He has a lot of enemies. So does the family. 

Lots of belly kisses. 

He’s going to go to every appointment with you and hold your hand the entire time. 

Heyo!  You guys may have noticed that I updated my rules page yesterday! There are a couple reasons why I did this but the #1 reason is I was getting a large number of asks that wanted me to do 15-20 characters in one ask. I love that you guys are excited for my writing and want to see so much of it but there is no way I can possibly do that many per ask. I’m so so sorry but I simply can’t. 

2/2 Despite being a bit introverted, I really enjoy talking and listening to people. I guess i'm that kind of person who enjoys experiences and hey, people are the most interesting experiences you'll ever meet! I am mostly kind, but I know how to stand my ground and stick to my morals and opinions. Not that i am inclined to argue against different viewpoints as i see no reason to lose friendships over different opinions. I don't have any preferences over gender actually! Thanks! :)

I got 3/3 but since I don’t think that 99% of the monsters (way to kill the curve Jerry) would care would care so much about what you look like physically as how you act, treat others, and how the see your SOUL. Like you, they seek out the company for who a person is rather than how a person looks. (That’s not to say that aesthetics don’t come into play on several posts but they’re more the skele/monster liking or loving something because you’re doing it/because it’s you.) 

Mafiatale Sans! 

You don’t have to worry about if you’re going to see him again or not--you most definitely are; especially after he learns that you have a knack for programming. Hopefully your morals and opinions and be a little bit swayed, he usually has a good reason for wanting to hack into something but he might not tell you right away. He’d hate to make you an accessory this early in your relationship. 

You can definitely say that meeting Mafiatale Sans is an experience--and not one that you are likely to forget any times soon (he’ll do his best to make sure of that) but he will still respect any and all boundaries. He likes to takes the walks with you, he’s always a little weary of what goes on in “quiet” neighborhoods. He respects your ability to see other viewpoints and to know when to argue and stick to your morals. 

I DIDN’T SIGN UP FOR THESE EMOTIONS ANON!!! XD I’m going to go ahead and make the dead S/O you. That… that sounded creepier than I meant it. I’m still gonna do it though.

UT Sans: For one brief (and he will never admit hopeful) second he thinks that Frisk may have loaded or somehow done a partial-reset. His next thought is you from another timeline? Eventually he reasons it to himself. Humans all have squishy skin so there’s bound to be more than one person who had your features. They aren’t you, no matter how much he might wish they are.

He won’t actively seek out the doppelganger but he won’t go out of his way to avoid them. They make him uncomfortable, yeah, but it’s not like they’re doing it on purpose.

UT Papyrus: They must be doing it on purpose. He’s going to have a very serious talk with them about how HE KNOWS HE IS VERY GREAT AND TALL AND HANDSOME BUT PLEASE STOP ACTING LIKE MY… L-LIKE S/O. He will be as polite and kind as possible but tell them to please (THOUGH IT MAY BE DIFFICULT) forget their strong feelings of love for him. He is not ready to date again.

The idea of him leaving a random bystander who looks and acts like you more confused than anything might seem a bit funny, and it would be a bit funny to Sans who had seen then entire conversation play out… if Papyrus hadn’t almost calls them by your name more than once.

UF Sans: It’s at Grillby’s and to be honest, he probably hasn’t stopped drinking since your death. Recovery isn’t in his vocabulary. He threw a few too many back and does one of the things he does best, make another person uncomfortable or flustered to hide his own insecurities. It just so happened that the person next to him, who he threw his arm around looks exactly like you did. He freezes for a good five seconds before switching gears from making them uncomfortable to becoming uncomfortable.  He’s going to pull out every card in his deck and try to take them home.

If they do end up coming home with him, things start to get heated really quick but after a rather intense make-out session he pulls them back and gets a good look at their face. His heart twists and he’s suddenly filled with so much more self-loathing than he had been earlier. He physically throws them out of the house. It doesn’t matter if they’re drunk or in any condition to be left alone. At that point he doesn’t care because if it’s not you, then why the fuck should he?

UF Papyrus: Mad. How dare they. Are they trying to imitate you? Are they mocking your memory!? How. Dare. They. This skele doesn’t love easy and he’s definitely not going to date or be around someone who looks or acts like his dead S/O. It’s disrespectful and if he were to be honest with himself… the ache in his chest when he sees them hurts too much to bear.

He goes out of his way to avoid them. If he sees them in public he won’t turn tail and flee but he will scowl at them like they’re the scum of the earth. They’d be smart to avoid him. In his eyes they’re just a painful reminder that you’re gone.

US Sans: Blueberry met the lookalike on accident. He was actually shopping for flour to make his taco shells (yes, he makes his own taco shells) and the lookalike walked up behind him and grabbed some rice. For a brief moment he forgot S/O was gone. “S/O WE DON’T NEED RICE! IT’S TACO NI–…” He goes uncharacteristically quiet, when the lookalike turns to him. He will quickly mutter out an apology for mistaking the lookalike for you.

He won’t actually get to see them acting like you because he leaves the store very quickly after that, leaving the flour behind. He immediately goes straight to his room when he gets home. He will most likely have something of yours; a favorite hoodie or stuffed animal and will bury his face in it to cry.

US Papyrus: He is the only skele  out of these guys, aside from UT Paps, who will willingly spend time with the lookalike for an extended period of time. He uses the same pickup lines he used with you. Take them to the same place he took you. “It’s just like a reset” is what he tells himself. He knows he’s lying. They aren’t you. No matter how much they walk, talk, or act like you.

Ink! 

If there is one skeleton who can appreciate good sarcasm, it’s probably Ink. He really loves it when you chalk the ends of your hair different colors and will offer to help you with it. Be warned though–just because you’re with the artistic skele doesn’t mean he’s going to go easy on the pranks. He will still prank you often and can sometimes get carried away, but he never has any intention of hurting you with them. 

You two are going to have so many inside jokes. It’s going to border on ridiculous. Serious conversations are going to be few and far between with both of you pulling jokes out and throwing in playful teasing. Careful with too much teasing though, he won’t show it but too much teasing might make him a little anxious. 

I imagine that the two of you will replace swear words with names of famous painters around children. “Son of a Picasso!” “Oh Jackson Pollack!” “Salvador Dali!”
