Explanation: So… There’s this time during the day that I call ‘Death o’clock’ because i randomly get sleepy and my writing slows down when I want to write and I always go ‘blegh’ because its when I have free time and my brain just decides ‘no… I wanna sleep’ so… Yeah. Writing to get myself fresher ouo
Desc: You fell asleep on the sofa. The Sanses decide what they’re going to do…
You’ve fallen asleep.
All the boys didn’t seem to be home that day- you’re not sure where they went that all 6 of them weren’t there in the house. You know Papyrus and Edge had work today, Axe and Crooks were probably out shopping, Sans and Red…
You’re not sure what they were doing.
You went around the house calling the boys’ names to hear nothing as an answer, and it was getting dark. You weren’t exactly in the freshest of states and you were tired as hell, so you had only just plopped down on the sofa without getting out of your coat and turned on the TV- when one of your favorite movies were about to air.
Your eyes blew wide as your previous tiredness left you and you quickly changed into comfortable clothes- you were excited, but you were still pretty sleepy.
Your microwaved popcorn was plopped beside you in a bowl and a thin blanket you’ve quickly swiped in your room to get yourself comfy and snug in the couch with your movie coming into view…
And halfway, you were snoring, your head on the arm of the sofa and your legs sprawled below you, your hands in a weird position and the half empty bowl of popcorn sitting squished in between the cushions of the sitting and back side of the couch, pressed into it by your leg. Your mouth was hanging open and drool was slowly making its way out when the skeleton brother’s came in.
The Papyruses had taken no heed to you, quickly heading into their room to start working on a puzzle they’ve started to make a couple of days ago, eager to make it into something playable when they were done with it.
As you thought, Axe had been out buying food with Crooks again, and Sans and Red were working on the shed on busted machine, oil and sweat covering their bones and hands. They just happened to walk in on your silly position, snoring indelicately with your head hanging off the side of the couch precariously.
The three of them were just… Staring at you sleeping. A light blue blush flying across Axe’s face, a soft look coming onto Red’s, and Sans eager to bring you to your room bridal style.
“she’s out cold,” Sans had said when the three of them had gathered around the couch, Axe quickly taking the bowl of popcorn out before your knee was about to land smack into it, putting it on the short legged table in between the sofa and the TV.
“she looks pretty snug in them blankets, yeah?” Red smirked smugly, leaning against the back of the sofa to take a closer look at your face with your hair sticking to your cheek a little, brushing it away with a careful phalange. “what a nice little position fer me to come home too…”
“you’re not sleeping with her.” Sans told Red, his tone flat and his face fallen. Red’s smile fell and his eyes lidding, unimpressed as he kept his hand on your cheek.
Axe was still staring at you from his position in front of the sofa, a delicate blue blush on his cheekbones.
“she looks… really cute, all knocked out like that,” Axe commented, unable to hold himself back from wanting to coo and cuddle you, tempting him to get onto the sofa and nuzzling his nasal cavity into your drool-stained cheeks. what a baby…
“… alright alright you two,” Sans came in front of them, hurriedly taking Red’s hand away from your face that had started to stroke it a little too intimately for Sans’ tastes, and Axe staring at you with such intent that Sans was sure he was tempted to jump on your sleeping form- “she’s asleep, let’s just get her to bed ok?”
“heh, right…” Red smirked as he looped a challenging, mocking arm around Sans’ shoulders, making him growl at him as he shook him off and took a closer step to the sofa, towards you. “don’t lie to yerself, ya wanna snuggle up with her and share body heat wit’ her, don’t ya?”
“i- shit!” Sans spluttered, backing up to the sofa while his eyelights had stayed on his sharp-toothed counterpart, almost tripping on it and falling smack dab on top of you. “i’m not an ass, red. i just wanna take her to her room, ok? can you at least gimme that?”
“… you just want to pick her up in your arms. and bring her to bed.” Axe’s suddenly quiet voice came from behind him, both Sans and Red swerving their bodies to get a better look at the tallest of the three, his jagged injury still catching their eyelights even if they’ve been around each other for awhile now.
“…” Sans didn’t reply. Neither did Red, as all three of them immediately fixed their eyelights at you, sleeping away and completely unaware of the situation you’ve put yourself in.
One moment of silence fell on all three skeletons.
…
Then Axe had shot his hands out and quickly booked it in the direction of the hallway.
“hey!!” Sans had just managed to spit out, before quickly realizing he was the only skeleton in the living room, as Red had already teleported to chase Axe who was running as silently yet as messily as he can, trying to keep you to himself and keep Red’s hands away from you.
Sans had teleported just in time in front of Axe who’s eyesockets were blown wide, tripping over him- losing his grip on you a little (who was still sleeping-) and a second of loose hands letting you slip out of his hold a little… And Red caught you immediately, a victorious, sharp toothed smile growing on his face as he skipped his way in front of their rooms, heading nearer the Papyruses’ room as sneakily and quickly as he could, shit-eating grin on his face.
He came to a complete halt when Sans teleported in front of him again, his eyesockets devoid of those soft white lights, a hand reaching out and turning into a fist as Red found his chest emitting a dark blue glow in the shape of an upside down heart- for one second, before his magic realized what was going on and broke out of the gravity magic that Sans just inflicted on him- having you pulled out of his hands, the bend between your legs and your torso neat in front of his sternum, the underside of your knees sitting snugly on top of Sans’ bended elbow, the other hand wrapped around your back absolutely, and your head tucked safely into the crook of his neck.
“… careful, you’re gonna wake her up.” Sans raised a cocky brow when he saw the other two of him about to make another move.
“you guys don’t handle her properly enough.” Sans made one final comment before walking to your room.
The other two walked behind him like a pair of guilty puppies, eyeing you nervously, afraid that they’d woken you up, with Sans smugger than he’s ever been in awhile, opening your door quietly, the lights already off. Two sets of eyelights and one enlarged, burning one glowed in the dark a bit spookily as Sans set you down on your bed, tucking you in. He left with a small, pleased sigh, the three of them lingering in front of your bed longer than either of them needed to be, souls pounding together in unison at their adoration towards you before leaving the room quietly, happy that your slumber had went undisturbed by their shenanigans.
… Little did they know, you were already semi-conscious on the sofa when they first came in, unable to react because you had woken up slowly and didn’t know when to show them you weren’t asleep- when the three of them had gone stealing humans with each other- and getting so flustered when all three had carried you bridal style to your room, with Sans holding you so snugly against his chest that your heart was beating out of yours, trying your best not to show them that you were awake when you knew they didn’t think you were.
As soon as they got out, your eyes had popped back open, a deep blush coming across your cheeks as you tried to sank into your bed. These damn skeletons and their absolute adorableness. You wanted to squeal and hide in your room, you didn’t know how to feel- but you knew it was a happy feeling that had taken over your chest.
Desc: Reader is in a down mood and a house of skeletons isn’t going to let that last long. Skelebros from UT, UF, and HT present!
“Sans, What’s Wrong With The Human?” Papyrus hushed to his brother.
“... i dunno paps,” Sans shrugged, but couldn’t hide the concerned look on his face as he looked at the human, sagging on the couch. “something must’ve happened?”
“like what?” Red was suddenly at Sans’ side, making him jump.
“what the fuck, red, don’t do that-!” Sans hissed.
“i don’t care, what’s wrong with (y/n)??” Red shot back. Classic can think about that later- he wants to know what’s wrong with his doll.
“Why Don’t You Just Go Ask Her, Brother,” Edge strolled to Red’s side, a scowl on his face, feigning ignorance- despite the fact that he was also speaking in a hushed tone. “Then You Can All Stop Worrying And We Can Stop This Tedious Hiding, You Cowards,”
“Oh, That’s A Good Idea, Edge! Why Don’t You Go Do It?” Papyrus clapped his hands together cheerfully.
Edge spluttered. “M-ME?!” He covered his mouth, “I-I Do Not Care How The Human Feels, You Sanses Should Do It, You’re All The Ones Who Is Trying To Date The Human At The Same Time.”
Sans and Red both turned into a flustered shade of blue and red respectively. “god dammit edge, will you stop that!” Sans snapped quietly.
“w-whatever, it doesn’t matter who’s gonna ask her,” Red took a breath, recomposing himself, “i can’t let her stay down like that.” His brows furrowed, sharp teeth in a frown.
“... OH, LOOKS LIKE YOU DON’T HAVE TO WORRY ANYMORE,” Papyrus suddenly spoke in his full volume, “LOOK!”
Sans and Red both looked away from their respective brothers, back to the human- and oh FUCK Axe’s beat them to it-
“... (y/n)?” Axe carefully rounded the couch to your slouching form, looking as blue as Classic’s jacket, “you... you ok?”
“Oh, Axe!” Axe couldn’t help but feel a little bit of pride swell in him when you lit up a little when he came, “I’m... I’m ok. Just down, I guess.” You exhaled.
“something... happen?” He sat down heavily beside you, his largeness filling up a lot of the space on the couch, it bending down from his weight, causing you to slide onto him unintentionally. Axe’s soul flipped at the closeness.
After blinking a few times, you spoke. “... Yeah, I guess you can say that.”
“Just... I can’t believe my coworker would steal my credit like that,”
what? Axe blinked.
You were making a project for the bosses that time, and despite your partner lazing off and doing the bare minimum- you managed to get the product done on time. You were up to present for it- when your asshole coworker decided to be a good coworker for once, and presented all about the product that you mostly did the work before hand. And they did it well too! They were just observing you, and not helping at all. And now it looked like you didn’t do your part in front of the bosses- what with the asshole stealing all you wanted to say, cutting you off when you managed to say a sentence.
“...” Axe stayed silent. Maybe... He didn’t understand. He never had an office job, so it might not make sense to him... But that’s ok. He stayed there to listen as you complained a light problem to him. You were just annoyed, that’s all.
... You hoped he wouldn’t be upset, knowing his history, that this was a really light problem-
i’m gonna kill them, Axe thought in his mind as he just continued to stare at you, looking up at him, where do they live, i can get rid of them.
“oh.” Was what he said out loud. “... do you have their business card, or somethin..?” He asked innocently, “maybe you can file a complaint about them to your boss...”
You blinked your eyes. Axe hates being formal like that, he sure as hell wouldn’t want to give respect to your bosses he barely knows.
“... No killing.” You said.
Damn. You caught him. You know him... Axe was disappointed, but he liked that you knew him enough to catch him.
“but they deserve it,” Axe mentions plainly.
“... Maybe,” You joked, probably not serious, with a cheeky smile on your face. He adored that smile. how fucking dare they try to wipe that smile of your face. He wanted to kill them.
“well, guess i can’t do anything if you don’t let me.” Axe shrugged, pulling you close to hug you. “wanna sleep it off?” He offered.
“... Ok.” You agreed immediately, leaning against him, shutting your eyes to just forget the stress.
...
“god damn it!” Red hissed, looking at you practically melting onto the human eater beside you. Axe’s smile had blown wide, that giant red eyelight fixed onto your head as he tucked you to him. “why does he get to touch her all the time?”
“because he doesn’t grab her ass,” Sans retorted, the same bout of jealousy building up in him. Not like he doesn’t agree with Red, but... He couldn’t help but take a jab at his edgy counterpart. Red just rolled his red lights at him.
“Hello, Everybody!”
The Sanses, along with their brothers, looked back. Crooks was there, waving happily to the group of skeletons.
“Why Are You All Looking At My Brother And The Human Like That?” He tilted his head, specifically eyeing the two alternates of his brother with his shrunken eyesockets.
“u-uh,” Red stammered before Sans quickly rushed in front of him. “h-hey, crooks! what ya got there?” He quickly tried to cover himself up. Crooks was carrying bags of groceries in his other hand.
“Oh, YES!” Crooks used his volume fully, making the others flinch and look back to the couch, seeing Axe had fallen asleep on (Y/n).
... Both Sanses seethed at the scene, making Papyrus chuckle, Edge shaking his head disappointedly, and Crooks tilt his skull.
“UM...” Crooks continued, “I BOUGHT FOOD- BUT!” He raised a pointer finger, “I ALSO BOUGHT BAKING SUPPLIES!”
“BAKING? I’VE ALWAYS WANTED TO TRY THAT!” Papyrus beamed, eyeing the groceries eagerly. “ARE YOU GOING TO TRY TO BAKE TODAY, CROOKS?”
“OH, NO,” He answered, looking at the bags as well, “I HADN’T THOUGHT OF ANYTHING TO BAKE YET... I JUST SAW THEM ON THE WAY TO THE CASHIER AND THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE FUN!”
“OH? WHAT A SHAME.” Edge voiced, “YOU MUST TELL THE GREAT AND TERRIBLE PAPYRUS WHEN YOU START. I WANT TO SEE YOU FOOLS MESS THINGS UP.”
“OH SURE!” Crooks replied happily, used to Edge’s snarky remarks, “I PLAN TO TRY TOMORRO-”
“today is good.” Red cut Crooks off. “ya got anythin’ that can bake a cake, crooks?”
“OF COURSE!” Crooks tilted his head, “... YOU WANT TO BAKE, RED?”
Red flushed.
“me too,” Sans stepped up, “i wanna bake too.”
“can we give it to (y/n) too?” Red asked, already moving to the bags.
“WHY NOT? SHE LIVES IN THIS HOUSE TOO!” Crooks asked, looking at his brother protectively cradling (Y/n) in his arms, making her look small compared to him from the size difference. “... WHY SO SUDDENLY, THOUGH?”
“OH, YES, CROOKS!” Papyrus grabbed Crooks’ attention, “YOU SEE, (Y/N) SEEMS TO BE DOWN IN THE DUMPS TODAY, AND WE’RE WORRIED ON HOW TO CHEER HER UP!” He clasped his gloved hands. “AND SINCE AXE HAD A NICE TIME WITH HER, OUR BROTHERS DON’T WANT TO GET BEHIND ON THE COMPETITION!”
Splutters from both hoodied skeletons. Sans looked up at his brother in disbelief, and Red cringing into his hoody.
“OH, THAT’S EXCITING!” Crooks beamed, causing the shorter skeletons to flush indignantly, “THEN WHAT ARE YOU TWO WAITING FOR? YOU AREN’T GOING TO STEAL HER FROM MY BROTHER, BUT-” Edge and Papyrus shot challenging stares at Crooks, making him smirk, “I’M SURE WE CAN MAKE THE GREATEST OF CAKES WITH ALL OUR SKULLS PUT TOGETHER!”
“WITH THREE PAPYRUSES!” Papyrus clapped excitedly.
“AND... WITH OUR GREAT BROTHERS!... THAT ARE LESS GREAT THAN ME, OF COURSE.” Edge couldn’t hide his excitement.
Sans and Red covered their face embarrassedly as they went into the kitchen, their taller brothers chirping excitedly as they took out the ingredients. Sans thanked his lucky stars- They might not be great at cooking pasta, but in baking the Papyruses hit it out of the ball park.
......................................
“YES, IT IS DONE, BROTHERS!”
You blinked awake from the voice of Papyrus in the kitchen, along sounds of metal clanging.
You yawned and moved to sit, but realized you were... Being held.
In your sleep, Axe had moved your entire body up to his lap, and he had a gentle yet firm hold on you, his arms securely circling your body, covering your own arms. Your heart beat faster at the intimate position. And Axe himself was asleep. Did he move you while he was awake or not?
... You kind of wanted to sleep again, he was just so warm and comfortable and protective...
“Psst. Human!”
Crooks’ skull was peeking out of the hallway that lead to the kitchen. He took in the sight in front of him, and a bigger smile had formed on his face as he stepped out into the room.
AW. He smiled. He hasn’t seen his brother this affectionate towards anyone else other than him. He looked like he was treating you with care like how you would a baby.
“... Do You Mind Coming To The Kitchen? We Have Food!” He beamed, crouching in front of the sofa.
An inviting scent wafted into the room as soon as he said that. It was sweet and homely.
“... Mmm.” You hummed, feeling Axe stir behind you a little. “That smells really good.”
You looked back at Axe, who still hadn’t roused yet. “But uh, Crooks? Your brother is still asleep,” You smiled softly, looking up at the big bear-skeleton cradling you.
“... SO HE IS,” Crooks sighed, letting himself get louder so he could wake his brother. “BROTHER! WAKE UP! YOU ARE BLOCKING THE HUMAN’S PATH FROM FOOD!” He patted his brother’s shoulder.
Axe blinked his sockets out of sync, eyelight fuzzy from drowsiness. “food...?” He questioned, “human... food... why’re ya eating human, paps?” He pulled you closer to his chest, protectively.
You blinked awkwardly, staring up at Crooks who’s mouth fell open in the same level of awkwardness as you did.
“N-NO, BROTHER! I SAID THE HUMAN NEEDS TO EAT,” Crooks had an indignant faint orange blush on his skull which he quickly brushed away. “I KNOW YOU LIKE THE HUMAN, BUT YOU’VE GOT TO LET HER GO.”
“mm... no... my human,” Axe blinked drowsily, voice slurred as he sank back into the couch, bringing you with him.
“Um, Axe?” You squeaked, embarrassed. “But... Don’t you want food?”
Axe blinked fully awake. “oh right. food.”
That wasn’t like him. Anyone from their universe would pounce at the subject of food.
For once, Axe felt... Satisfied.
“why didn’t you say so, paps?”
“I DID!” Papyrus huffed as Axe sat up, making you sit fully between his legs, making you blush in the slightest. Axe yawned, letting you go.
Crooks cheerfully took your hand and lead the two of you to the kitchen, where the scent grew stronger and stronger. You went into the kitchen-
And saw a shipwreck, as usual. There were unidentified splotches everywhere, on the walls, near the sink, on the fridge and oven- Sans, Papyrus, Red, and Edge were covered in them too. Although the Sanses had less of it on them. Papyrus was beaming proudly, Edge was scowling, as usual. Sans and Red were... Smiling nervously. You looked at the island in the middle of the kitchen.
... A cake was on it. Pristine and perfect. It smelled strongly of vanilla, and had two layers. Cream in the middle, and perhaps icing on the layer above, with a cherry on top.
“ya... ya like that?” Red all but squeaked at you, eyelights going back and forth from the cake to your sleepy face.
“it’s for you, (y/n).” Sans walked up nervously to the island, picking the plate with the cake up, walking to you and holding it up for you.
“IS IT TO YOUR LIKING?” Papyrus asked.
“IT MUST BE, HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE SOMETHING MADE BY ME??” Edge pressed.
You hadn’t reacted, just blinking away the sleepiness as your eyes darted from your skeleton housemates back to the cake and forth.
“... Oh my god,” you breathed, “You all made this... For me?”
“OF COURSE!” Crooks sounded triumphantly, “TALE AND RED WERE ESPECIALLY EXCITED TO MAKE THIS FOR YOU.”
Sans shrunk into his hoodie, while Red was looking away from you, at the wall. He walked to you slowly, averting your gaze.
“w-well.” He shut his sockets, before setting his eyelights on you. “give it a try, sugar.”
You blinked, and a smirk came across your lips. Sans and Red blinked in confusion. They were standing side to side, and white cream were on their faces, so...
You pulled both your hands out and took them off their faces, popping your fingers in your mouth, thoughtful expression on your face. Their reaction was priceless.
... Oh, that was good.
“It’s... It’s delicious, you guys!” You beamed, face lighting up from the sugary taste. It was sweet, but not too sweet. Perfect.
“... WHAT WERE YOU DOING TEASING MY BROTHERS LIKE THAT??” Edge stomped his foot, scowling annoyingly as red and blue was seeping across the Sanses’ face.
“Well,” you smiled coyly, “This is a whole cake, you hadn’t cut it or given me a fork or anything. What, you wanted me to grab at it with my hands and destroy how perfect it looks?” You shot.
Edge shut his mouth, then eyed his brothers, specifically towards Red. “SANS, WERE YOU TRYING TO GET THE HUMAN TO LICK YOU.’
“no boss!” Red sweated, “i mean, i want her to lick me-”
Sans punched Red on the ribcage, causing him to recoil. He was about to react when you giggled.
“O-oh my god,” You wheezed, “Let’s just. Let’s just eat, shall we?”
Axe eyed the cake, then back to your bright face. “please, go ahead,” He gestured, walking past the group to the fridge. “you guys get on on the desert-turned-appetizer while i cook a real meal. not a snack.” He grinned wider, red eyelight studying the food in the fridge.
“oh no you don’t,” Sans challenged, handing you the cake. “you don’t get to say that. let me help.”
“no.”
“i ain’t done with ‘er yet,” Red smirked, giving you a confident smirk and a pat on the shoulder, traces of nervousness gone as he walked up to Axe beside the fridge. “let me help.”
“... no,” Axe said again.
You ended up eating the cake with the Papyruses on the bench in the kitchen, all watching with amusement at the three Sanses who were arguing and bickering while they make dinner.
Oof here's some drama- what if the reader in TDtLU had a human boyfriend? They walked along the shore together too, romantic kisses during sunset etc, maybe they even went on the boat together, how would Black be with that situation? Since she already has a 'mate'
OOOOoooOOH….
He’s. Jealous.
Just any human that bothers him, especially the ones who so much as to get near her are already humans he wants to get rid of. But this guy, he gets her affection. He met her when she was alone… He doesn’t care about him, she’s his- how dare he take who’s rightfully MINE?!
Everytime they’re lovey-dovey on the beach, it just seals the boyrfriend’s fate in his ‘eyes’.
He wants him dead. Wants to show him that she doesn’t belong to him.
If they went on the boat together and Black’s going to steal her… The both will probably be at the back of the boat, together watching the water.
Black would strike him from the top of the boat, tearing her away from him and grabs onto him, very much intending to kill him. Reader would panic- and she tries to take him off of her boyfriend, asking what he wants.
He’ll tell her: you.
… She tells him she’ll come with him if they let her boyfriend live.
… Black complies, happy to do what she asks as long as she’s his. He lets the boyfriend go and surrounds him in paralyzing blue magic, grabbing onto the reader instantly and wrapping around her possessively. He warns her that she’s never going back to him… Never going back to land. She’s staying with him forever… She’s his. And as for the boyfriend…
“you ever come to my beach again… you’re dead.”
He jumps off the boat with her, leaving the ‘boyfriend’ behind.
