Could you do 21 with Underswap Grillby and his S/O?
#21: Wow! You’re good at this!
(Note: This takes place earlier in the relationship)
“It will be fine, I promise you!”; This was a string of words that had gotten you into quite a few odd situations when it was coming from Grillby.
“I don’t know. I didn’t even know you had any other family besides Fuku, so it seems like a bit much to be meeting them so out of the blue. Do they even know I'd be coming over?“ You replied.
“Oh, they won’t mind and I finally think you’re ready to meet them! I’m sure they’ll love you!”. The eccentric fire man skipped in front of you and held both of your hands in his own as he spoke.
"Please do say you’ll come over, I’d love love love for you to meet them!“
"Wonderful!“ He exclaimed, and began pulling you down the street
"Wait, right now? Like, right now right now?!” He nodded happily so you gave in and followed, oddly beginning to get used to these out of the blue plans of his.
Eventually arriving at his house you look at him curiously.
"No no, they live here!“ You had been to his house at least once before to pick him up for a date and it didn’t look like anyone lived there besides him and his daughter.
"Really, I’ve never seen them.”
“Oh yes, that’s because they live in the basement!”
“Oh okay, I guess that makes…wait what?” He didn’t respond, and continued pulling you inside with him.
He rushed around, taking off your jacket and pausing in front of you for a moment to brush some hair out of your face.
"Alright, perfect, common!"
“Serious just like this?”
“Yep!”, He lead you though his house until stopping at a door and opening it for you ceremoniously. You rolled you eyes and made your way down the staircase. You’d be lying to yourself if you said you weren’t a little nervous but you’ve learned to trust his antics despite how strange they might be at times. He followed closely behind you, his flames highlighted pink, showcasing his obvious excitement.
Making it to the bottom, you looked around surprised. The room actual looked pretty cool, it was decorated with lots of oranges and red and there were little ramps, playpens and dens everywhert, as well as what appeared to be something similar to a cat climbing tower. There was also a strange little mock volcano in the corner.
Grillby stepped up beside you and you looked at him confused. He held up a finger, signaling you to wait a moment before letting out a loud whistle.
At first, nothing, but slowly you began to notice little movements coming from around the room and before you knew it, you were surrounded.
“Salamanders!”, Grillby corrected you, bending down to let one crawl onto his hand. You stood there awestruck as hundreds of little brown and orange glowing “salamanders” crowded around the two of you. Some sat on the climbing towers and a few were now basking in the heat of the little fake volcano. Grillby lifted the one he was holding closer to you, seemingly introducing you to him.
“Alright, everybody, this is Y/N, and you could say she’s a very close friend of mine!” All at once every single salamander cocked their head simultaneously and looked directly at you, making you laugh.
Moving closer to you, Grillby and held out the one in his hand to you so you carefully held out your hand to accept it. The little guy looked at your hand for a moment before cautiously climbing on. After walking around in a few circles, you guess he decided it was safe as he looked up at you with what you with what you could almost assume was a smile and made a little chirping noise as you rubbed his head. This allowed you to get a good look at it. It looked kind of like a mixture between a salamander and a gecko, defiantly nothing you’d ever seen on the surface, not to mention the glowing and strange amount if warmth the little creature was making.
Your passiveness seemed to be catching the attention of the other salamanders, and a few of them managed to climb you and perch on your shoulders and head. Looking up from the one in your hand you notice Grillby had both his hands clamped over his mouth as he tried to suppress the biggest smile you’d ever seen.
“You okay?” He nods quickly, wiping a tear from his eye.
“Wow! Your really good at this! They don’t always warm up to people this fast!”
“Thanks, I guess I’m just good with monsters.”, You smirk. Grillby nodded then clasped his hands together .
"But wait, we still have introductions to do!“ He grabbed your arm again and pulled you over to sit on some beanbag chairs near the play volcano. Sitting down, you get swarmed as the salamander make themselves comfortable finding places to fall asleep on you as Grillby began to list off all of there names. You ended up spending the rest of the evening covered in warm sleeping salamanders as Grillby unveiled to you the entire history of his "family”. It was defiantly one of the more pleasant family meet ups you’ve ever had
