Morning Jog, Human Tag
Just me relaxing~
(Female Pronouns Reader, Jogging with UT! UF! and HT! Papyruses ^^)
Desc: You’re up early, and you went outside to the halls your shared house... And all the Sanses are asleep. You’re about to head back to your bedroom when you hear murmurs in the living room.
Your eyes pop awake, as if you were startled.
...
You blink a few times, not knowing what had urged you to awake so quickly. The sun was still pretty dim, flowing in through the small gaps between your curtains. Your eyes dart to your digital clock.
6:04
Wow... Why am I awake? You stare blankly at it. Why does your body do this some time? You feel awake and alert, for no reason. You feel bored already, thinking of closing your eyes and trying to drift to sleep.
The moment I get some time to sleep, my body decides to get up... You grumbled to yourself as you automatically walk towards your door, heading to the Sanses’ room on instinct.
You lean in to their door...
Only to hear nothing.
...
Oh wait- you can hear a snore- probably Axe’s, with the deepest and loudest voice.
You giggle... He sounded so cute and innocent when he’s sleeping.
You sighed, resigning yourself to your bed, doomed to sit on your bed and look at your laptop, phone, whatever- until someone wakes up-
“... You... Try... IT!”
You hear Papyrus’ voice, coming from the living room.
“Maybe... Brother... Don’t Know,” Came in Crooks’ voice.
...
Maybe you weren’t cursed to be alone this morning. You walk towards the living room to find all of the Papyruses (Papyri?) standing in a circle, all wearing casual sports clothes.
“... OH, HUMAN! GOOD MORNING!” Papyrus was the first to notice you, waving at you enthusiastically, prompting the other two to turn their skulls to you.
“TCH, THE HUMAN.” Edge grumbled, crossing his arms and looking away from you, the big tsundere that he is. You giggled in your mind.
“O-OH, HUMAN!” Crooks’ stammered, a muted orange blush tinting his cheekbones, “DID... DID WE WAKE YOU UP? I’M SORRY, I TRIED TO TALK IN AS LOW AS A VOLUME AS I COULD!”
“No, you’re ok Crooks, Papyrus, Edge,” You gave a long stare to the sharp-toothed softy trying to look like he hates your every being, “I woke up on my own, for no reason... And now I’m just bored. What’re you guys up to?”
“AH, SEE, ME AND EDGE ALWAYS GO ON A MORNING JOG EVERY DAY! CROOKS HERE WANTED TO JOIN BUT... HE HADN’T DECIDED YET, SINCE AXE HADN’T GIVEN HIM THE GREEN LIGHT,”
“YOU MEAN THE RED LIGHT,” Edge butted in.
“RIGHT RIGHT... THE RED LIGHT,” Papyrus rolled his ‘eyes’, though the grin on his face was widening, “BUT HE REALLY WANTS TO COME WITH- HE HADN’T DONE SO SINCE... WELL, THAT IS, SINCE...”
“SINCE THE CORE BROKE IN MY UNIVERSE!” Crooks finished enthusiastically, sending the rest of the group to glance awkwardly away from him.
“I’VE ONLY DONE PUZZLES AND TRAPS, WITH THE QUEEN BEING SO DEMANDING I DIDN’T HAVE TIME FOR JOGGING...” He says regretfully. “SO I WANT TO GO WITH!”
“Then why don’t you?” You ask.
“WELL, AS I SAID BEFORE,” Crooks started, “I DON’T KNOW IF MY BROTHER APPROVES-”
“YES, BUT WE KNOW THE SURFACE IS SAFE,” Edge rolled his eyelights, huffing annoyingly, “BESIDES, IT IS QUITE POSSIBLY 6:10 NOW! WE’RE LATE BY TEN MINUTES, AND THE TERRIBLE PAPYRUS CAN NOT HAVE THAT! CHOOSE NOW, CROOKS!” He demanded.
“Uh, before you choose...” You piped in, “I uh... Can I join you?”
Crooks blinked, Papyrus beamed, pressing his gloved hands to his face with his eyes shining happily, while Edge’s brows picked up.
“OF COURSE, HUMAN!” Papyrus smiled, “YOU WILL BE VERY WELCOME TO JOIN US!”
“THAT IS...” Edge looked to the side, hand on his chin, “IF YOU CAN CATCH UP WITH US... YOU BEING A PUNY HUMAN, HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY RUN WITH US?”
“...” Crooks went silent as he stared at nothing. You noticed this, and you felt a little concerned.
“Crooks? Is there something wrong..?” You peeped, looking up at the crooked-teeth skeleton. His eyes finally flick to you, and a grin stretched out on his face.
“WELL... YOU CAN GO OUTSIDE RIGHT?” Crooks seemed to be piecing together something as he looked at you, “AND MY BROTHER REALLY DOESN’T WANT THE ONES HE LOVES IN DANGER, AND HE DOESN’T SEEM TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOU LEAVING.” He continued, completely ignoring how red your face turned at the casual mention that Axe loved you, “THEN SURELY I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, WHO IS MIGHTY AND STRONG! WILL BE FINE TAKING A JOG WITH TWO OTHER PAPYRUS- AND I NEED TO ASSIST THE LITTLE HUMAN ANYWAYS, RIGHT?” He smiled at you.
“IF YOU CANNOT CATCH UP WITH US, I SHALL CARRY YOU, (Y/N)!” He bounced, swiping you off your feet, holding you out to him like a baby.
“OF COURSE THE HUMAN WOULDN’T CATCH UP,” Edge scoffed, “I DON’T KNOW WHY YOU BOTHER TO BRING HER ALONG THEN.”
“WELL,” Crooks picked you up in one hand, around your stomach as he put you to his side like a bag, hands and feet dangling below you while his other hand, in a fist, was put on his waist. “I MUST BE A BIT RUSTY IN THE SPORTING DEPARTMENT, SO I MUST TRAIN EXTRA HARD NOW!” He declared, “AND WHILE THIS HUMAN IS LIGHT FOR SOMEONE AS GREAT AS ME,” He demonstrated by throwing you up a little in his hand, “A LITTLE BAGGAGE WILL SURELY HELP ME GET INTO SHAPE QUICKLY!”
“You mean... You’re gonna use me like a weight?” You quirked your head up at him, a weird smile on your face.
Oh boy.
“PRECISELY!” Crooks nodded, before looking down on you worriedly, “NOT THAT I’M TRYING TO CALL YOU HEAVY!! THAT DOESN’T MATTER AS LONG AS YOU’RE HAPPY!” He smiled at you. You laughed.
“No no, don’t worry, I don’t care about that.” You shrugged. “If I’m gonna be a figurative weight while you guys sprint, might as well be some literal training weights, right?”
“YES!” Crooks, relieved, closed his sockets at you, “THAT WAY I’LL BE JOGGING AND WEIGHT LIFTING, NYAH HAH HAH!”
... Edge stepped forward to the two of you, scowl on his face.
“CROOKS,” He frowned, “GIVE THE HUMAN TO ME,”
“WHAT?”
“I CANNOT LET YOU OUTSHINE THE GREAT PAPYRUS!” He grumbled, “I MUST CARRY HER!”
You looked up at him... And a faint red blush was coming across him.
“NOT! THAT I! WANT TO CARRY HER SPECIFICALLY!” He tried to cover himself, sockets widening and sweat appearing on his skull, “I... I AM NOT DOING THIS FOR YOU, HUMAN! I AM SIMPLY USING YOU TO STRENGTHEN MYSELF!”
You giggled. “Sure sure, Edge.”
“NYEH HEH HEH...” The three of you looked up to Papyrus, who has been watching the whole scene happen before his eyes. “LOOKS LIKE YOU’VE MADE OUR MORNING JOG MORE INTERESTING, HUMAN!”
“AND SINCE WE’RE SLIGHTLY LATE FROM THE WHOLE DEBACLE EARLIER, WE MIGHT GET LATE COMING BACK HERE IF WE WANT TO TRAIN OUR BODIES FULLY...” He pressed his hands together, a sly grin on him.
“... UNLESS WE HAVE SOMETHING... SOMEONE EXTRA TO HELP OUT TO CHASE THE TIME.” He finished. Then...
You were yoinked out of Crooks’ hold before Papyrus dashed out the front door, morning air brushing your face as Papyrus ran in breakneck speeds- holding you by the stomach like Crooks did, but this time your head was looking behind him and your butt at the front, again, like you were a bag or a doll or something. Behind him, the other two had broke out of the door, chasing after your skeleton ‘kidnapper’.
“NYEEEEH! PAPPY!!!” Crooks called, a distressed look on his face, “YOU CAN’T JUST STEAL THE HUMAN FROM MY HANDS LIKE THAT!”
“NYEARGH, I WILL BE THE ONE TO CARRY THE HUMAN!” Edge screeched as Papyrus ‘NYEH-HEH-HEH’ed away from them, trying to keep you with him as Crooks and Edge caught up.
... This was definitely not going to be a boring morning.
