What would the skelies so with a affectionate and cute s/o who is too good for this world and only wants to comfort then ?
You didn’t request specific skeles, so I’m going to pick a few (specifically ones who would be completely unused to someone so kind)
Swapfell Sans- Mal spends a lot of time just thinking about s/o. He would spend an inordinate amount of time thinking about his partner anyway because he’s a simp but the way that s/o lives their life is, in a word, inspiring to him. He’ll often think about how lucky he is to have found someone so kind and caring in a world that’s been almost entirely cruel to him and his family.
He goes out of his way to do nice things for s/o in an effort to repay them for being so wonderful. He isn’t particularly good at that in the beginning, but he learns from watching them.
Horrorfell Gaster- How in the world did he end up with someone like this? From a distance, Obelus is just about the antithesis of them: his scowl alone could make a small child cry.
So for someone to look at him, see past that ever-present mask of hostility, and want to comfort him? It’s unfathomable! It’s ridiculous!
It’s incredible. To see the good in someone, despite that person spending his whole life burying any emotions resembling hope and empathy, is beautiful to him. Even still, why on earth would they choose him?!
Obelus is happy—very happy in fact—but the circumstance confuses him immensely.
Outerhorror Gaster- He has no idea how this happened. The comparison between the two of them is laughable. If he and s/o were standing together, one might compare the two of them to... well, there’s a lot of things they could be compared to honestly. Equinox would likely go with “a firefly and a tarantula” or possibly “a songbird and a vulture”, or “a small, nice flower and a very large cactus that’s on fire and altogether unpleasant to be around”. But even he has to admit that that last one is quite wordy.
Most people wouldn’t complain about having such a kind-hearted and compassionate s/o, but he often complains for their sake. He often asks questions ranging from “Why do you spend so much time with me?” to “I saw a very nice looking fellow at the store today, wouldn’t you rather be with someone like him??”. Equinox doesn’t really want them to leave, but he’d feel terrible if they were stuck with him when they’d be happier elsewhere. He has to get over some of the anxiety that he’s developed in his more recent years for him to really settle into being their partner.
Horrortale Papyrus- S/o quickly becomes his favorite person. The day they met, Spook was already enamored by their kindness. Not quite romantically, of course: they only just met! But he was very platonically attracted to them and really wanted to be their friend! And then they wanted to be friends with him! Even though he’s a bit scary...
Eventually, when he does develop romantic feelings for them, he is completely comfortable having a conversation with them about it. As it turns out, they feel the same about him!! Spook considers himself very lucky to have found someone like them, not only are they honest, and caring, and sweet, they also do wonders for his self-esteem, which has been very low since the... events... in the Underground.
