Basics : the boys' heights are relative. I want my readers to comfortably insert themselves, and thus will describe how their heights feel rather than what their heights are.
Sans : He's a bit of an average: tall enough for you to comfortably rest your head on his shoulder, whenever you two are watching bad movies on the couch, but still short enough to slouch into your chest and nuzzle there ("Sans" "mmh?" "Get your skull out of there" "sorry, babe. is there a problem? something you need to get off your chest?" "Sans")
Papyrus: He's tall. There's no denying it, he's really tall. And yet, you never felt him tower over you. There is absolutely no setting you can think of where Papyrus seemed to tower over you, suddenly oppressing you. It's just not him. Instead, he's just the right the height to reach the high cabinets. The right height to get the last box of your favourite treat from the shelf at the grocery store, the right height for his shoulders to be the perfect vantage point to comfortably watch a stage despite the crowd... and the right height for him to see all of you in one go, and he really loves that.
Jasper : Shorter than most monsters, just like every Sans, but he doesn't mind. Well, not anymore anyways. Back in the underground, it meant he wasn't physically built for strength... which meant he had to play dirty, especially while starting off with just 1 HP. Here? It's just right to whisper lewd things in your ear when he slightly bends over you, hugging you from behind, his hands travelling further down to grab your ass. Your body seems to fit perfectly into the curve of his, leaning naturally into his embrace, and nothing has ever felt more right for him.
Pyre : Everything about him exudes confidence, and his stature is no exception. His posture and the way he holds himself demands attention, and you find yourself raising your head to gaze at the imposing skeleton before you. He's taller than most humans and monsters, and he enjoys that. He eclipses them, as they must literally stand in his shadows. As for you? He is the perfect height to lead you in a passionate tango, to dip you with ease, proudly showing everyone who perfect you two are, together.
Sky : He's tall enough that you have to crane your neck the tiniest bit to look into his eyesockets, and tall enough for you to bury your face in his chest when you hug him, breathing in the scent of him - something between fresh mint and the sea. It comforts his ego, that he's tall enough for you to nuzzle into his chest. He's more than fully aware that his height, coupled with his bright attitude, often gets him mistaken for the younger brother. But you never make that mistake. Not when when pulls you into his embrace with such force and yet extreme gentleness. You feel very small in his arms, despite the minimal size difference. You two fit like puzzle pieces.
Paps: He's just tall enough to pull out of your reach when you want to smack his face for the ridiculous prank he undoubtedly just pulled on you. It can be infuriating, sometimes. He enjoys keeping a couple of your belongings just out of your reach, just like Sans used to tease him when they were kids.... yeah, that really got annoying. But he's also just the right size for him to be your extra mattress when you're sprawled together on the couch, one arm around your waist, keeping you close, and one arm under his skull. Just perfect for you to listen to the hum of his soul as it sings its love for you.
Mal: Yet another monster who was decidedly not built for strength, and had to figure out how to make up for it, and quick. Mal decided he was built for speed and stealth, and took full advantage of that. Despite being shorter than most monsters, his posture, the way he holds himself, all of him inspires- commands awe and respect. He's tall enough for you to feel safe when he steps in front or you, challenging anything that threatens you to get through him first. You struggle to get on your toes to kiss him, which he finds adorable. He's always happy to meet you halfway, however. He's also the right size to sink his teeth into your neck without bending uncomfortably, and he is very happy about that.
Rus: He is the only one who truly, genuinely, towers over you, silent, threatening and intimidating.... until you get to know him. Then he's the perfect height to be your living skeleton blanket, draping himself over you, curling around you and nuzzling your face, your hair, and basically anything he can touch. He wraps himself around you, holding you close... kind of like a large, lanky, lazy and very clumsy snake. Very affectionate, too.
