Papyrus? You've been awfully silent lately. Are you alright?
. . .
SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH MY BROTHER.
VERY WRONG...
Charlotte came home late. She walked with a slight limp and hunched back. She plopped down on Papyrus' lap. "Tell me a happy story"
“CHAR?” he asked looking to her in concern before wrapping his arms around her. “UM SURE… ONE DAY,I WENT TO WORK, PAR USUAL, AND THE STRANGEST THING HAPPENED… SOMEONE BLOCKED MY PATH, IT WAS KIND OF STRANGE SINCE NO ONE REALLY HAD THE AUDACITY TO DO THAT… EVENTUALLY WE FOUGHT, BUT INSTEAD OF COWERING, THEY MANAGED TO LOWER MY HP SIGNIFICANTLY…” he started.
“AFTER REALIZING THAT THEY WHERE NOT ONLY ABLE TO HOLD THEIR OWN AGAINST ME… BUT THEY WHERE BLIND AS WELL… OUT OF PITY I TOOK THEM HOME, PLANNING TO TRAIN THEM MYSELF. OVER THE SPAN OF A FEW WEEKS, THEY GOT REALLY GOOD, AND I HONESTLY ENJOYED SPARRING WITH THEM… EVENTUALLY… I STARTED… TO GROW EMOTIONALLY ATTATCHED… SOMEWHAT POSSESSIVE I GUESS… AND EVENTUALLY THINGS ESCALATED INTO FREQUENT DATES, AND MORE ENJOYABLE MOMENTS THAN ANYTHING ELSE…” he continued. smiling to her. “THEN, AFTER MONTHS OF LETTING MY FEELINGS GROW… I BECAME A BIT MORE PROTECTIVE THAN POSSESSIVE… ONE DAY, I WAS ATTACKED BY AN OLD ENEMY, MY FRIEND STOOD UP AGAINST THEM AND SAVED MY LIFE. AND IN THAT MOMENT… I KNEW I WAS GOING TO ASK THEM TO MARRY ME. THEY SAID YES TO MY GREAT HAPPINESS. SHORTLY AFTER THAT, WE BROUGHT IN TWO BEAUTIFUL GIRLS INTO THIS WORLD… AND THOUGH WE’VE HAD OUR HARDSHIPS… YOU’RE HERE… IN MY ARMS… AND I COULDN’T BE A HAPPIER SKELETON FOR IT.” he finished before kissing her head.
sighing papyrus watched them leave, continuing on his way to grilby’s to check on the girls… at least for them he could put on a happy smile without worrying about them seeing through it. wiping his face before entering the diner. “SANS? NURIA? GIRLS?” he asked looking around the now empty diner curiously
“Daddy!” The girls rushed to see their father, wrapping around his legs as they were the only things they could reach. Nuria sat at a table with Sans, watching over the girls. Thunder sat comfortable on her shoulder.
“Ahh papyrus! Um glad you’re here. The girls have been asking about you all day.” Nuria said, resting her hand on Sans’.
“WELL, SHOULDN’T IT BE NEAR BED TIME FOR YOU TWO?” he asked with a chuckled as he ran his fingers through quinn’s hair.
“Yeah, we where debatin on weather or not we called you to see if they’d go to bed after seein you.” sans explained.
“We’ll put then to bed soon. I promise.” Nuria said reassuringly. “Say goodnight to daddy girls. He has to go back home to mommy.”
“Aww but aunty!” Quinn whined, clinging tighter to Papyrus’ leg. “Just a little longer?”
She sighed softly. “Only if Daddy says it’s ok.” She looked to Papyrus for conformation
“WELL I DID JUST GET HERE, A FEW MINUTES WOULDN’T HURT…” he smiled softly “BUT YOU GIRLS NEED YOUR SLEEP.” he says sternly. walking towards the table with each girl clinging to his leg.
“THEY HAVEN’T BEEN CAUSING YOU ANY TROUBLE…” he says looking to them curiously
“Not at all. They’ve been very well behaved. Sans took them to waterfall this afternoon. They seem to have has a good time.” Nuria sighed. “We’ve been dealing with our own issue lately…” she said sadly.
“WHAT ISSUE WOULD THAT BE?” he asked looking to sans, then back to nuria.

“I DECIDED WHILE SHE RESTED, I RUN A PATROL AND CHECK ON THE KIDS FOR HER.” he informed them. “IF I’M NOT ALERT EVEN ON MY DAYS OFF, A HUMAN MIGHT SNEAK PAST US… AND I CERTAINLY WONT ALLOW THAT.”
“You say that like you didn’t kinda marry one.” Undyne said jokingly.
“Papyrus…is something bothering you? You seem distracted.” Andy me asked worriedly.
“YES, WELL THAT OBVIOUSLY WAS A VERY SPECIAL CASE.” he says looking to undyne thoughtfully. turning to alphys and shaking his head. “I’M PERFECTLY FINE.” he says though he was visibly tense.
“Papyrus I can see your soul pulsing from here. What the issue?” Aphpys tugged on Undyne’s hand, wanting her to pick her up so she can get a closer look. “You’re tense. Visible tear trails. Aching soul…something happened between you and Charlotte.”
he growled a bit though more mad at himself. “N-NOTHING HAPPENED.” he insisted, though he wasn’t sure how long he could say that. it left an odd feeling in his bones. and what remained of the pains of his soul from breaking off then put back together… he wasn’t surprised it the mad scientist had noticed.
“Your soul is dammaged…did she hurt you? Did she do this to you?!” They asked, protectively.
“I swear is she hurt you!” Undyne yelled.
“NO, SHE DIDN’T HURT ME.!” he insisted. “IN FACT… I FEAR I MIGHT HAVE HURT HER…” he admitted… clearing his nonexistant throat he looked to the pair. “WE HAD BOTH ENTERED A CRAZED HEAT SESSION… AND AFTER EVERYTHING WAS SAID AND DONE…” he paused. “OUR SOULS TRIED MAKING ANOTHER CHILD… I STOPPED IT BEFORE IT COULD HAVE A SOLID SINGULAR FORM…” he muttered…
“Oh damn…” they looked each other, the back to Papyrus. “Why stop it? The twins make you so happy, wouldn’t another kidd add to the happiness?
“NOT AT THE RISK OF LOSING HER AGAIN.” he says somewhat stubbornly. despite his attempt at stopping himself, fresh tears started to roll down his cheeks. he obviously was on the verge of breaking in front of the former captain and the royal scientist. a mistake he couldn’t afford to make. trying to regain his composure and return to that stoney outer shell of his.
“Papyrus…you’re not going to lose her again. She didn’t make it the first time because her human heart couldn’t handle giving birth to two magical beings. Her soul didn’t have the magic capacity. But she’s a monster now. Her soul has gained the capacity to handle giving birth to monster children. And even then, you could still carry the child couldn’t you?”
“NO I COULDN’T.” he shook his head. "DO YOU KNOW WHAT MY LV IS?” he snapped. “16. I’M NOT GOING TO PUT ANY CHILD AT RISK OF SUFFERING BECAUSE OF ME… AND AS CAPTAIN OF THE ROYAL GUARD, THOUGH I WOULD PROUDLY CARRY MY CHILD FOR HER, I SIMPLY CANNOT.” he blew up at them. “I HAVE MORE THAN MY FAMILY TO THINK OF… I MUST ANSWER TO THE KING AND EVERY STUPID FUCKING CALL ANOTHER MONSTER MAKES TO RESOLVE ANYTHING FROM REAL ESTATE TO WHO DUSTED WHOM WITH WHAT WEAPON IN THE ROOMS OF THE CASTLE! TELL ME UNDYNE… WOULD YOU RISK CARRYING WHILE ON DUTY?” he asked almost accusingly
“If it meant keeping my WIFE safe. Fuck yes I would. Do you know how much PAIN she went through to bring you two beautiful daughters? She was DYING for months so you could have a family. She forced herself not to tell you she was dying to save them. She sacrificed her human body for your kids. And your soul is so much stronger than hers is. It would be easier for you to give birth. Her soul would strain and probably rip. She wouldn’t be dusted but she’d be pretty damn close to. Have you ever thought of that, Papyrus?” Undyne broke down in tears as she spoke. Anger and sadness filling her all at once. “Alphys and I want kids. We want to have the joy you and Charlotte have. But we can’t because it would ruin both our reputations. We live through those girls. We love those girls. And we appriciate everything Charlotte did to bring them here. She DIED for them. She was in severe pain for so long and hit it all to protect them.” Undyne turned away, wiping the tears from her face. “Yes. I would carry our child if it meant protecting the one I love.”
papyrus shook his head. clenching his fists before looking to undyne. “THAT’S NOT THE FUCKING POINT HERE!” he looked to alphys and glared. “YOU OF ALL PEOPLE KNOW HOW DANGEROUS IT IS TO CARRY A CHILD WITH A HIGH LV. NOT JUST FOR THE PARENT BUT ESPECIALLY FOR THE CHILD... REPUTATION MY NON EXISTENT ASS.” he growled looking to undyne. “YOU WOULD CARE LESS ABOUT YOUR REPUTATION IF IT MEANT BEING WITH THE ONE YOU LOVE. I CERTAINLY DID. FUNNY THINGS ABOUT REPUTATIONS IS THEY THEY CAN BE REBUILT.” he scoffed
Charlotte came home late. She walked with a slight limp and hunched back. She plopped down on Papyrus' lap. "Tell me a happy story"
“CHAR?” he asked looking to her in concern before wrapping his arms around her. “UM SURE… ONE DAY,I WENT TO WORK, PAR USUAL, AND THE STRANGEST THING HAPPENED… SOMEONE BLOCKED MY PATH, IT WAS KIND OF STRANGE SINCE NO ONE REALLY HAD THE AUDACITY TO DO THAT… EVENTUALLY WE FOUGHT, BUT INSTEAD OF COWERING, THEY MANAGED TO LOWER MY HP SIGNIFICANTLY…” he started.

“Papyrus I can see your soul pulsing from here. What the issue?” Aphpys tugged on Undyne’s hand, wanting her to pick her up so she can get a closer look. “You’re tense. Visible tear trails. Aching soul…something happened between you and Charlotte.”
he growled a bit though more mad at himself. “N-NOTHING HAPPENED.” he insisted, though he wasn’t sure how long he could say that. it left an odd feeling in his bones. and what remained of the pains of his soul from breaking off then put back together... he wasn’t surprised it the mad scientist had noticed.
Charlotte came home late. She walked with a slight limp and hunched back. She plopped down on Papyrus' lap. "Tell me a happy story"
“CHAR?” he asked looking to her in concern before wrapping his arms around her. “UM SURE… ONE DAY,I WENT TO WORK, PAR USUAL, AND THE STRANGEST THING HAPPENED… SOMEONE BLOCKED MY PATH, IT WAS KIND OF STRANGE SINCE NO ONE REALLY HAD THE AUDACITY TO DO THAT… EVENTUALLY WE FOUGHT, BUT INSTEAD OF COWERING, THEY MANAGED TO LOWER MY HP SIGNIFICANTLY…” he started.
“AFTER REALIZING THAT THEY WHERE NOT ONLY ABLE TO HOLD THEIR OWN AGAINST ME… BUT THEY WHERE BLIND AS WELL… OUT OF PITY I TOOK THEM HOME, PLANNING TO TRAIN THEM MYSELF. OVER THE SPAN OF A FEW WEEKS, THEY GOT REALLY GOOD, AND I HONESTLY ENJOYED SPARRING WITH THEM… EVENTUALLY… I STARTED… TO GROW EMOTIONALLY ATTATCHED… SOMEWHAT POSSESSIVE I GUESS… AND EVENTUALLY THINGS ESCALATED INTO FREQUENT DATES, AND MORE ENJOYABLE MOMENTS THAN ANYTHING ELSE…” he continued. smiling to her. “THEN, AFTER MONTHS OF LETTING MY FEELINGS GROW… I BECAME A BIT MORE PROTECTIVE THAN POSSESSIVE… ONE DAY, I WAS ATTACKED BY AN OLD ENEMY, MY FRIEND STOOD UP AGAINST THEM AND SAVED MY LIFE. AND IN THAT MOMENT… I KNEW I WAS GOING TO ASK THEM TO MARRY ME. THEY SAID YES TO MY GREAT HAPPINESS. SHORTLY AFTER THAT, WE BROUGHT IN TWO BEAUTIFUL GIRLS INTO THIS WORLD… AND THOUGH WE’VE HAD OUR HARDSHIPS… YOU’RE HERE… IN MY ARMS… AND I COULDN’T BE A HAPPIER SKELETON FOR IT.” he finished before kissing her head.
“I DECIDED WHILE SHE RESTED, I RUN A PATROL AND CHECK ON THE KIDS FOR HER.” he informed them. “IF I’M NOT ALERT EVEN ON MY DAYS OFF, A HUMAN MIGHT SNEAK PAST US… AND I CERTAINLY WONT ALLOW THAT.”
“You say that like you didn’t kinda marry one.” Undyne said jokingly.
“Papyrus…is something bothering you? You seem distracted.” Andy me asked worriedly.

if it where possible to get any more tense… he would have right then and there… “M-M-Me… thE GreAT and TERRIblE pAPyrus… SCARED? Why wouLD i Be ScAred?” he asked looking uncomfortable in all sense of the word. avoiding her gaze as his grip on her seemed to grow more protective.
“Oh papyrus…” she sighed. “Let go of your pride for one minute and tell me the truth. You’re scared you’re going to loose me again. You’re scared that if we have another baby, I’ll die again. Well why don’t you carry it then?” She said, her hand flying to cover her mouth as she realized what she’d said.
he looked stricken suddenly. then ashamed… sitting up on the couch and sighing. kicking his pants across the room before staring intensely to his feet. “BECAUSE I’M NOT… I CAN’T… “ he sighed, “MY LEVEL OF VIOLENCE IS TOO GRATE FOR ME TO ACTUALLY TRY THAT WITHOUT ANY OF MY MORE NEGATIVE TRAITS TRANSFERRING TO THE CHILD, EVEN IF IT WHERE THEORETICALLY POSSIBLE…”
there where times he had displayed a deep understanding of magic and science, he just wasn’t the scientist his brother was. he looked away from charlotte. “I’M NOT GOING TO ALLOW ANY CHILD SUFFER THE THINGS I’VE HAD TO SUFFER THROUGH… AND I’M NOT GOING TO RISK CARRYING A CHILD WHEN NOT ONLY YOU AND THE GIRLS NEED ME, BUT THE WHOLE OF THE UNDERGROUND.”
he was oddly calm about all of this, it was almost terrifying. a red glow emminating from his eye as he stood up. “AND I’M NOT GOING TO LOSE YOU… AGAIN…” looming over her a moment before kneeling to see her face, tears streaking his cheeks from repressed anger, and indeed fear of what MIGHT happen.
“I KNOW FOR A FACT I WOULDN’T SURVIVE LOSING YOU A THIRD TIME.” he muttered counting the time he thought she was gone for good the day before the girl’s first birthday. placing a hand against her cheekbone, he stroked her cheek softly with his thumb.
“PLEASE GET SOME REST… I’M… I’M GOING TO GO CHANGE AN RUN MY EVENING PATROL…” He says almost regretfully.
Charlotte sighed softly, looking to him sorrowfully. “As you wish love” she said, forcing herself to smile. “Please be careful Papyrus.”
“I’M THE CAPTAIN OF THE ROYAL GUARD… NO MONSTER IS FOOLISH ENOUGH TO MESS WITH ME OR ANYONE UNDER MY PROTECTION.” he smiled reassuringly. kissing her head before heading towards the stairs. “YOU WILL CALL ME IF YOU NEED ME?” he asked after opening the door to their room.
“Of course baby. And will you check up on Sans and the kids while you’re out?” She asked, laying back down.
“I WILL.” he says before disappearing into the room. grabbing a new pair of pants and redressing himself. he gave charlotte a final kiss before leaving the house. a dark and stony expression covering his features as he started for grilby’s

“I…I LOVE YOU TOO CHARLOTTE… OH SO MUCH…” he shuddered, calming down a bit though still visably shaken. “W-WE SHOULD TRY AND REST NOW.” he suggested.
She gently nuzzled into him, her soul glowing softly. “Our story will have a happy ending. We’ll live happily ever after just like we always dreamed.”
he didn’t really respond. simply holding her tightly, as if afraid to let her go.
Charlotte looked up at him worriedly before closing her eyes and falling to sleep. Her head rested in the crook of his neck. For once she slept quietly. She didn’t toss and turn. Didn’t wake up a single time through out the night. She laid peacefully beside her husband, knowing that she was safe.
sleep actually didn’t come so easily to him… and when it finally did, it wasn’t as peaceful… his mind was racing and the memories of charlotte’s death as a human flashing back to him as he tried to sleep… things he’d repressed SINCE then… things he refused to let sans, the girls or ANYONE know that was troubling him… he remained tense, and by sheer will refused to move as he held charlotte to him.
Feeling Papyrus so tense made it difficult for Charlotte to sleep. She felt something was wrong and couldn’t ignore the nagging thought at the back of her skull. She opened her eyes slowly, looking up to him before speaking softly. “Papyrus love? What’s bothering you?”
“shhh… sleeping…” he says unconvincingly, dancing around the subject as best he could. “i’ll be alright love…” he says unusually quiet as he kissed her forehead reassuringly.
“Papyrus. I know you better than that. Now tell me what’s bothering you. You can’t keep it hidden forever.” She urged, gently running her hands up and down his ribs.
he managed to crack open an eye, looking to her before sighing... how his brother seemed to get away with so many lies he thought that the great and terrible papyrus couldn’t see through was beyond him. though unlike him... charlotte seemed to keep pressing the uncomfortable matter... and he honestly knew that if he kept dodging her questions... she’d snap probably.
“i cant seem to find comfortable sleep...” he says softly. mostly true... “i never thought supressing a heat like that for so long would be so... intense...” still his voice was quiet... it was worrysome...
