Had a thought! If not too spoilery, how did Gaster get shot before Molly found him and why was he all alone? Or did he have ''guards" and they got killed in an ambush or something?
Gaster is dumb.
He frequently goes out alone without any bodyguards because he's dumb (although wildly brilliant), and unfortunately got caught by himself. There's only so much he can do against a horde of rival Family members, and each Family would LOVE to take out a Head. It would throw the Serif Family into chaos as Sans quickly took over, but that would still take time, and the other Families could move in for territory.
So, he basically got cocky, and dumb then got himself shot.
We've had a lot of angst last few days, how about some fluff? Boy/s of your choice cute meets with future SO? :D
Yay! Some fluff! *rubs hands excitedly*
I’ll start with the Sanses from Tale, Swap, Fell, Horror and Swapfell.
Undertale
Sans is heading up a hill in the dead of night when he meets you. He doesn’t usually wander out at night. But that night is special. There’s a meteor shower and he intends on watching every moment of it.
When he gets to the top of the hill, he finds that you’ve already beaten him there. His first thought is disappointment. It took him ages to find a spot this good and he’s so certain that you’ll want him to leave.
He’s just about to head back when you call out for him. You ask him if he’s here for the meteor shower and ask him to stay when he confirms that he is.
To say that Sans is pleasantly surprised is an understatement. He hesitates for a moment in case you don’t really mean it. But when you don’t show any signs of changing your mind, he gives in and heads over to you.
You came prepared. You’re sitting on a blanket, another one wrapped around your shoulders and holding a cup of hot chocolate with a book open in your lap, displaying different constellations.
He sits next to you and you open up the blanket around your shoulders, silently inviting him to get warm beside you. It’s a cold night and he appreciates it. Besides, he gets a better look at your book like this.
You manage to find another cup and pour him some hot chocolate as you introduce yourself. He rattles off his name and a few space puns and he can’t help but love your cute little giggle.
And once the show finally starts, you both huddle together in silent awe at the display above you.
Underswap
Blue is on a morning jog and he decides to head through the park. Not exactly unusual, he likes to change up his routine every now and then and this won’t be the first time he goes through the park.
But it is the first time he sees you.
He stops jogging, eyelights wide when he sees you. You’re crouched down by the pond, feeding the ducks. You have a gentle smile on your face as you take in the ducks and their little fluffy ducklings. So cute.
You feel his gaze on you and you look over. You smile kindly and Blue feels his soul pulse when you wave him over shyly. He’s nervous as he wanders over and he’s worried about scaring the ducks away and upsetting you.
But you stand and introduce yourself and take his hand, scooping some frozen peas into his hand and patiently showing him what to do.
It doesn’t take long for the two of you to be absolutely surrounded by the little ducklings.
Underfell
Red’s walking through the park when he meets you. He’s just minding his own business when he hears panicked shouting. Next thing he knows is nearly being bowled over by this huge fluffy dog.
Red will deny it if anyone mentions it, but he has a major soft spot for cute and fluffy things. This dog is the best. He doesn’t care that it’s a little muddy. All he cares about is that this adorable dog isn’t scared of him and judging by the tail (which is wagging so much it looks like the dog is about to take off) it’s also very happy to see him.
He’s gushing over the dog when you trot over, meaning to get your dog back. You approach him cautiously, apologizing again and again. The tone of your voice says it all. This has happened before with a less than friendly reaction.
He smiles at you, stating how cute your dog is and cracks a joke. He loves your cute little giggle, it’s like music to his ears.
He goes walking in the park a lot more after that.
Horrortale
You meet each other in the grocery store.
Axe is just going through the aisles, trying to make sure he gets everything he needs on the list that Crooks gave him. And then he steps into the aisle where all the cakes and baguettes are. That’s where he finds you. You’re clutching a freshly baked loaf and inhaling it’s scent. You always loved the smell of freshly baked bread.
He doesn’t know whether it’s the lighting, that you’re incredibly cute or the fact that you’re practically shoving your face into one of the loaves just to smell it, but Axe falls hard and fast. Then he sees the amount of cakes and treats you shove into your cart and it’s like love at first sight.
He’s walked up to you before he even realizes it. You turn to him, smiling shyly and saying a quiet “Hello.” and he just freezes. Axe didn’t prepare anything to say as he was walking up to you.
He babbles like a complete idiot for a moment before he grabs something random from your cart. A can of soup.
“er...you like soup!” You giggle at his statement and he blushes. Oh no, he’s cute. His nervous stammering is so endearing.
“good. i like soup too. it’s um... soup-er?”
He trails off at the end and instantly wants to smack himself. That was awful. He can come up with better than that in his sleep! He’s about to die of embarrassment when you start laughing, cracking your own food puns.
Heh, yeah. Definitely love at first sight.
Swapfell
He’s walking home from the gym when he hears a commotion. When he follows it, Black finds you on the floor, surrounded by guys who are being unnecessarily cruel to you.
All of the things that you’d been carrying have been scattered around. One guy is holding you back and stopping you from struggling and the others are smashing the objects you’d been carrying. You’re pleading for them to stop, but they just continue to laugh.
Black sees this and is filled with rage. He has seen his brother on the receiving end of this kind of treatment, has seen the effect it can have on someone’s self-confidence and he instantly knows that he won’t stand for this.
“HEY!”
They stop what they’re doing, knowing that they’re being watched and instantly back off, running away and laughing as they do and leaving you sobbing on the floor.
He’s about to pursue them, but one look at your form tells him not to. You’re more important.
He helps pick up your things and apologizes about the belongings that have been broken. You’re devastated. They were heirlooms that had been passed down from your mother, who passed away not too long ago. They were all you had left of her.
Black helps pick up the pieces, he calms you down and helps you to breath evenly again. Then he brings you to a little cafe and buys you a drink to help you calm down.
He asks for your number and when you blink, surprised at his bluntness, he explains that he’s going to try and fix the heirlooms for you. You try and protest. He doesn’t have to do this. Black just smiles and gently insists that you let him do this. Eventually you give in and part ways, with the skeleton promising to let you know when he’s fixed everything. You’re not entirely convinced, considering they were in literal pieces but you decide to let him try.
Black spends the whole week working tirelessly to fix the heirlooms and even though he is so tired by the end of it, the smile you give him and the kiss on the -cheekbone makes it all worth it.
I'm Curious... but not stupid. I walk up to the kid and place my hands on his shoulders. "This is close enough." I peer into the fog Curiously for a moment before shaking my head "How about you show me around town? I bet you know all the cool places to visit." I smile down at him gently pushing him back town.
Awwww, well alright. Come on then! Lemme show the shop! Mrs. Buns always gives me free Cinnamon bunnies to take home with me! I’m sure she’ll give you one too!
*He dashes off towards the town... Trips... Then picks himself up and goes a little further before turning around to wait for you.
..........You could be imagining things, but you think you hear a faint, distant hissing sound in the fog........*
I know I put in in a comment on the story but if it's not too spoilery, how did Wingdings take the news of her injury and reaction in Bedside manners and Guns Chapter 6? I figure Paradox had to have caught that speech on tape. I'm curious how he feels about not only her getting taken and pistol whipped, the speech itself, and her reaction after the boys left. (Sorry if it's too much and if too spoilery to answer. No worries if so. I'm loving the story.)
Don't worry, you'll find that out next chapter! ;)
It wasn't my ask originally, but I have a related question to the lingerie ask. What if the Skellies walked in on S/O trying on the said lingerie and was trying to work up the nerves to show in front of skellies... but they were in the end stages of "NOPE I'M OUT". How would the skellies react to the confidence crisis? I'm loving your headcannons!
More lawn jerry! You can find the other lingerie ask here.
Sans- When he first finds you he leans against the door frame and smirks as he watches you deliberate on whether to show him this or not. He figures out pretty quickly that you’re about to back out so he makes his presence known by clearing his throat. The minute you turn to him and flush that adorable red color he’ll chuckle then approach you telling you that it’d be a real shame to hide all this away, his own cheeks dusted a blue hue. He thinks you look amazing.
Papyrus- Immediately turns orange, and is a little speechless as he watches you. When he hears you start to doubt yourself and get ready to back out it snaps him back to reality. He’ll walk into the room, making his presence known and tell you not to doubt how beautiful you are. Papyrus places his hands on your waist and pulls you to him placing a kiss on your cheek.
Blue- His eye lights turn to hearts as he sucks in a breath at the sight of you. His cheekbones turn that sky blue color and he immediately walks into the room making his presence known. The second you’re turning to him embarrassed at being caught he’s already wrapping his arms around you. He’ll tell you that you’re the most adorable person he’s ever met, and don’t you dare doubt that for a second before giving you a sweet kiss, that’s definitely going to lead to something more.
Stretch- Smirks when he sees you and manages to get behind you despite you looking in the mirror. He’ll pull your back against his chest and press his skull into your hair than chuckle as he asks if you were gonna hide this from him? Good thing he caught you then as he starts to back up still holding you towards the bed.
Red- He turns bright red, starts to sweat and starts to burrow into his hoodie as he stares at you. The second he hears your self doubt, he’ll walk into the room looking annoyed, but when you turn to him he isn’t sure what to say. So, the two of you stare at one another for a moment, before Red FINALLY gets out with a very flushed face that he thinks you look really good in that.
Edge- He’ll watch you for a moment a smile on his face, but the second he hears the self doubt his smile dies. He walks into the room, and stomps over to you even as you start to get embarrassed at being caught, grabs you than kisses you a little roughly. He’ll just barely pull away to whisper against your lips that you’re the most beautiful person on this planet. Don’t ever doubt that.
Berry- He’ll smirk when he sees you. When he hears the self doubt, he’ll shake his head and roll his eye lights moving into the room towards you. He’ll place his hands on your waist, brush his teeth against your cheek before telling you to stop that. You’re beautiful, and if you don’t believe him, he’ll show you then.
Money- His reaction is pretty much the same as before. He’ll come into the room and press you against the wall, but this time he’ll chuckle at your flushed face and murmur that he thinks the shy act is cute, but to have more confidence in yourself. Only you do this to him.
Black- You think he wouldn’t like this? That you’re not beautiful enough. He’ll scoff at your self doubt and tell you to have more confidence as he pulls you against him. He’ll kiss you, and run his sharp teeth along your jaw a smirk evident on his face as his hands begin roaming over your skin.
Rus- He’s probably been in the room for a ridiculously long time just watching you go from confident to self doubting. When it gets obvious you’re about to back out he’ll make his presence known by coming up behind you and placing a kiss on your shoulder. He’ll tell you if this makes you uncomfortable than you don’t have to wear it, but he thinks you’re stunning and just having you is enough for him.
Axe- His eye light will widen in its socket as he freezes in the doorway. He’s a bit stunned seeing you dressed like this and it’s obvious you’re doing it for him. It’ll take him a moment to come back, but once he does he’ll smile and let you know he’s there by speaking in a quiet voice, saying, “there ain’t anyone quite as beautiful as you shortcake. don’t ever doubt how amazing you are.”
Crooks- Squeaks in surprise when he sees you which obviously draws your attention to him. He’ll turn bright orange as he sputters a bit from his surprise. He’d heard your self doubting from the hall and he’d come to put a stop to it. He hadn’t expected you to be wearing something like this. Once composed, he’ll tell you that you look amazing, and that he likes it. Don’t ever doubt yourself.
Wine- Like Crooks he’ll hear you from the hallway, and go to investigate. Once he realizes what’s happening he’ll smirk, chuckle and move farther into the room. He’ll walk over to you and very obviously look you over. Once he’s reached you he’ll brush the back of his phalanges against your cheek before telling you that while he thinks you look amazing like this, his favourite look on you is when you’re wearing nothing at all.
Coffee- Got curious about what you were up to so he just sort of walks into the room. Once he realizes what’s happening he’ll flush bright yellow, squeak and sputter than cover his sockets as he stutters out a quick “s-s-sorry!” thinking he walked in on something he shouldn’t have. He’ll back out of the room very quickly unless you stop him telling him you were doing this for him. If you do, he’ll slowly lower his hands to take another look at you. With a still very flushed face he’ll give you a gentle smile, and tell you he things you look breathtaking.
Hello! I've been meaning to ask about this but you've said Coffee was a sharp shooter/sniper. Was this using a Gaster blaster type gun or a more human version? And was it all guns or did he have a go to one?
Both!
Coffee’s gaster blaster is extremely large and acts more like a mini gun than anything else. He has the largest blaster of any of the skeletons, but he’s the least likely to use his blaster.
He’s also able to use actual guns mainly sniper rifles, and handguns. Those are the two that he knows how to use proficiently. I’m sure if Wine tried he could have his brother learn more, but is satisfied with what he’s taught his younger brother.
