Undertale Oneshots [variety collection]

It was night time once again, although that much wasn't that apparent since it was underground and all; but the monsters here had adapted to this slight setback, instinctively aware of when it was day and when it was night on the surface. It was always amazing coming home to a nice taco dinner after a long day of (rather unsuccessful) patrolling, but the best part? Right when drowsiness tugged at his eyelids, Blueberry was able to call out for his brother and request a bedtime story. Pap always read his favorite book, which included the epic tale of a fluffy bunny looking for his brother. Although the story would be better if the bunny fought some sort of great evil or something, he supposed the brothers' reunion was good enough. I mean, at least they were happy in the end, right?

"Papy, tomorrow's gonna be great." Blueberry stated, his voice somehow quiet and with a bit of a tired slur. The stars in his otherwise baby blue pupils seemed faint, eyelids drooping and weighing themselves down. "We're gonna find a human tomorrow, I can just feel it."

A smile was cast back to him, Papyrus standing in the doorway with his hand on the doorknob, his empty eyesockets grazing over the tucked-in form of Blue. "I'm sure we will. Goodnight Sans."

His brother turned, pulling the door with it until all that was left was a small crack; enough to let some light in from the hallway, to ward off any of the spooky critters in the night. With a smile on his features, Blueberry rolled over and shut his eyes. His bed, despite looking cool, was actually somewhat uncomfortable. The only thing allowing him to fall asleep at night was the familiarity of their house, and the fact that he knew his brother was right next door if he ever needed his help. With one last, soft exhale, the skeleton would let himself succumb to sleep.

That is, until he woke up. A startled yelp emitted from his jaws as he pushed himself into a seated position, a hand clenched over his chest where his soul was now left glowing brightly; it's soft blue coloration was usually calming to him, a sign of his own patience, but tonight it basically radiated fear, sweat rolling down his skull as his cyan eyes darted about his room, not even recognizing it at first. Blueberry couldn't remember all of the fine details of his night terror, except an unnerving smile and the glint of a knife in their hand; dust rolled in the wind, while his scarf laid on the ground. Papyrus would have gone looking for him, only to find what was left, and then... Nothing. His mind drew a blank, throat aching despite there being no nerves connected to it.

"Sans?" There was a flicker of bright orange against the door as it opened, followed by the pale light of the hallway. It took Blue a moment to register the fact that it was his brother checking up on him, soon to cross over and sit on the edge of his bed with concern lighting his otherwise empty eyes. "S-Sorry... I woke you." The smaller croaked, feeling a hand brush over his forehead. Blueberry's gaze would drop for a moment as he processed his fear, only to perk back up and give Papyrus a tired yet bold smile. "I-I'm feeling much better now though! It's nothing The Great Sans can't handle! Mweh heh-! Heh..." His phrase grew weak for a moment as he brought a skeletal hand up, rubbing his tired eyes for a moment, in which created a similar sound to running sandpaper over a rock.

"It's fine Sans." Papyrus would begin, moving to sit directly beside Sans and bringing an arm around the shorter skeleton's shoulders, feeling him nuzzle up against his chest.

"... Then fluffy bunny and his brother went home." Hummed a somewhat tired Papyrus, repeating the line for the third time that night. Blueberry's eyes were now closed, a soft snore emitting from his nasal cavity. The taller dared not to move much in case he woke his brother, slumping in his current position with his legs over the covers and his head resting against the bed's head rest. "I love you Papy." Came a tired mumble, Sans slowly drifting into a peaceful slumber. Once Papyrus was sure that Sans was asleep, he would gently tap his teeth against the other's skull in a sort of kiss as he would reply quietly, "I love you too."
