Hello! I saw that you were needing request, so could you possibly write some fluffy comfort headcanons with the horrortale skeletons?

either their datemate or close friend (you can choose-) hasn't been sleeping very well lately, and ends up texting the skele around 4 in the morning because they're extremely bored/tired, but can't sleep. As the conversation goes on, the horror brothers find out that reader hasn't slept at all in almost three days. How would they react?

Yes!!! Thank you <3

HT SANS

He responds to your text within 5 minutes, he isn’t asleep. Either if it was guilt keeping him up or a nightmare he wasn’t sleeping so why not come over? He sets up a nice comfy blanket covered couch and you grab some warm drinks and sit together, the dark house lit by the bright leds of the tv you turned on so it wouldn’t be so silent. You two sit together for a good 20 minutes before sans asks for your reason being up this late… or early since by now it’s around 6am… you explain and sans listens with a understanding ear, he nods his head and pulls you closer rubbing your back as you lean into him. It takes a minute for him to proses a response but he does eventually, “You… haven’t slept… for three days?… I think… humans need more… than that” he says genuinely, you chuckle and nod saying “probably” he turns to you, his single eye light staring into yours “want to.. sleep with me?” You pause for a moment and burst out laughing at the connotation of the sentience as sans looks away and responds “you know what… I meant…” After you catch your breath you agree and he pulls the blanket over the both of you as you lean onto his side, turning the tv off and taking a deep breath your whole body relaxes.  whether you sleep or not is a mystery but god knows sans enjoyed every moment.

HT PAPYRUS

After a few hours you decided to text somone, that someone was papyrus, your tall lanky friend with braces and a love for pasta. He immediately responds and to your suprise arrives at your home moments later, exclaiming “ONLY COOL SKELETONS NEED TO BE AWAKE AT THIS HOUR” and scoops you up leaving you hanging in his arm like longcat- you look at him with heavy baggy eyes and he immediately becomes more worried, he sets you down and brings about a large human health book with many sticky notes in almost all pages, he flips to a page assumidly about sleep and asks. “Have you had at least 8-10 hours of sleep and slept exactly horizontal on your back with no pillow to allow your back to have optimal posture?” He looks up at you and then writes down something before looking back to you waiting for a answer. You shake your head and she snaps the book closed making you jump. “That will not due, come on” he says pulling you to your bedroom, he points to your bed with a stern motherly aura and you have no choice but to obey, he tucks you in and pulls a book of the shelf. One of your favorites you told him about, he turns to the first page and brushes your hair out of your face, “now we will see if this works! The book also says warm milk and a warm house help! We can try those next” he says before starting to read the book, he does have a nice reading voice…

This was fun :)

Just some thoughts on Papyrus-

Before Papyrus was almost 12 feet tall, the house was already quite large, with as high ceilings as the brothers could afford

The average human ceiling is 9 ft, so let’s say that the average monsters’ is 11, with exception to taller monsters (like the king and queen)

It definitely wasn’t a sudden thing, his height, so at the beginning of the famine, and before his brother’s and his’ injuries, it wasn’t a problem.

Papyrus, in the beginning, was originally 8 ft 6. Verrrrry close to hitting the ceiling with his his energetic rants and boondoggling, but has; through trial and error (there’s patches of newish paint all over the ceiling) found where exactly he can raise his arms to without punching a hole in the ceiling

Before their injuries, their magic hasn’t really warped them quite too noticeably. Papyrus’ bones may have looked thinner, and maybe he developed the idea of eye bags from not sleeping, but he never noticed.

Well, tried not to notice.

After getting his teeth bashed to splinters and unable to remove them because of his brothers own injuries? That’s when the changes started.

My thoughts on damage to monsters, or at least the skeletal ones, is that if you remove what had been broken or at least the most warped pieces, what would grow back would be almost as normal as before. If you don’t? The wound festers, sending messages to the soul of self preservation, that the wound needs to warp further, in more deadly ways in order for this not to happen again.

Doesn’t matter the universe, doesn’t matter the skeleton. If the splintered wounds aren’t removed, they will reintegrate into the body as a defense mechanism

Papyrus’ teeth, left too long to properly heal, grew and grew into points, sticking out at frightful angles, all to deter a possible assailant from ever destroying them again.

They’re sharper now, more durable, and is that another row of smaller ones behind them? Just in case?

The changes to his teeth took months, and were a painful experience, as recovering from all injuries are. He didn’t have the time to properly take care of them, or direct his magic into a feeling other than betrayal.

But he had a brother to worry about. That was more important. Even if the look of horror that Sans gave him when he first woke up hit him harder than he’d like to admit.

You guys ever think about how its horror sans fault horror paps looks the way he does. That sans gave him that first ingredient that sent his brother spiraling? I do.

People thinking I meant Horror paps is more evil or delights more in killing than sans is devastating and entirely on me for not elaborating more.

Horror paps is way more disgusted by their work but under a lot of influence to do it. He would literally do anything to help the underground, though. He wants all his friends and family to be happy again and I think he's in a little bit of denial about that being impossible (though he's definitely mature enough to be able to acknowledge that it is)

I just think if Nightmare was an additional influence and gave way to actual progress, he'd do whatever it takes!! But I see a lot of people in denial that Horror Paps ever could willingly hurt anyone, but he's just as slipping as sans is. He's not happy with what he has to do, but I think he'd also be able to kinda get along better with Dust and Killer. (Cross too, maybe if wanna include him. (I actually need to think on that one more later)).

That's not to say they would be friendly. At All. But I think sans would hold a Lot more ressentment towards them, and wouldn't be as willingly cooperative at Paps would be. Would they be able to tolerate him? No! But I think it'd be more interesting than another fucking sans. I wanna see their reactions to other variants.

Depending on how you interpret Killer and Dust (I unfortunately do not know nearly as much about them as I do Horrortale), I genuinely think Horror paps could hold his own against them. He doesn't tolerate shit from his own actual brother and when he's given an actual job, where he believes there's an actual potential profit, he's already proven he's willing to do anything.

Horror sans does not give a fuckk. He doesn't care. He's not trying to get his hopes up. The only reason he'd do it would be if Paps convinced him. (Which would be a Very fun parallel to how sans 'convinced' Paps to use human meat). But I see Papyrus offering himself to work in sans' stead. I don't think Nightmare would gaf, I think he'd find it more fun.

Horror sans wouldn't be happy no matter the circumstances. If he did join, it'd definitely make him more depressed as it would give him that slight ray of hope of fixing everything. He literally can't even remember the better times, so it would give him incredibly mixed feelings, I think. On one hand, he's sinking further into irredeemablity in his eyes. He sucks as a person, and he knows that, and he's willingly making himself worse for others.

I think both Horror Paps and sans would be the worst murder coworkers you could have, but sans would absolutely let you die on the field. Paps would, to an extent, care about who he's working with. Because even if they’re not actually his brother, they look like him. And he'd want to help them too. Would he succeed? No ❤️, but he'd try, a little. In the end, his main focus would be his actual brother, and I think Nightmare would get a kick out of putting a wedge between them.

I also think it'd be funny if Dust or Killer were more aggressive towards him, making him a little more wary of his own brother in turn. Not intentionally, just him having a break in his own home, catching sans in the corner of his vision, and immediately becoming more tense before realizing which fucking one it was.
