Chereads / Shades of Blue / Chapter 3 - Tealing with some Boneheads

Chapter 3 - Tealing with some Boneheads

You weren't sure how long Blues been hugging you, but you didn't mind. Although his magic was a different story. The feeling of peace and happiness were nice but it was starting to overwhelm you. You weren't expressing these feelings but at the same time, they felt like they were your own. These feelings were starting to make you a bit dizzy.

You squeeze Blue a little bit to get him to focus on you. It took a bit before he finally noticed your face. In an instant, he suppressed his power but it was too late you could hardly keep yourself up anymore. Your legs felt like jelly. All you could do was stumble and fall. Luckily Blue was already ahead of you as he held on to your waist. You moved your arm to wrap around his neck as a crutch. The feeling was slowly fading away.

"Thank you blue, you could say I'm starting to fall for you" you couldn't help but add the finger guns for your comedic pleasure.

"MYEH! FORGIVE ME, IF I DON'T FIND YOU FALLING SOMETHING TO LAUGH ABOUT, HONESTLY I'M MORE OFFENDED YOU PUNNING"

"but your smiling!"

"I KNOW AND I HATE IT!"

" Is she punning without me?"

You could hear Percy all the way from their living room. It didn't take long for Blue to respond.

"YES AND IT'S AS BAD AS YOURS!"

"Good! Marrow her!"

Blue looked like he was done with the situation. Though you tried to keep a good poker face but you couldn't hardly contain yourself. The situation soon had you laughing to bits. On the bright side, you were in Papys good books then. Before long Blue joined along.

"MYEH HEH HEH. SORRY AGAIN, MY AFFECTION HAS THAT EFFECT ON HUMANS" he reverted his eyes away from you, his stars lost their shape and became round." you're the first to be so nice about it " His hold on you loosened up a bit.

Gawking how strange the lack of stars brought you guilt. It was an accident, you know he didn't mean for it to happen. You needed to reassure him it was ok. You didn't want him to walk on eggshells around you for the remainder of the day. Also, you missed seeing the twinkle in his eyes. Without them and he looked exactly like sans.

"Blue it's fine. I like your magic, you were trying to share the hope in your own way"

It was similar to how papyrus could transfer his enthusiasm to others. Only in Blues' case his magic was more powerful and could transfer his feelings. His feelings left you all nice and gooey inside. You were happy that someone liked that much. Even if you weren't anything special.

You use your unoccupied hand to grab onto his and rub your thumb over his knuckles. It did the trick as a twinkle returned to his eye lights.

"Let's go before Percy comes in wondering why we are having an emotional moment over dishes." You don't let go of him as he chuckles at your words.

His eyes quickly brightened as a thought lit up inside him.

You looked at him a bit puzzled by the sudden look, he grins at you. She feels herself lifted up into the air. All you could do is squeak in retaliation. The whole scene left you flustered. You stared at Blue as he carried you out bridal style.

"UNTIL YOU FEEL BETTER, I'LL HELP YOU GET AROUND MILADY." He giggled at the idea. Already it seemed he was trying to make a point to protect you. Blue carried you down the hall leading to a big game room.

You see Percy was laying on the carpet. It seems like he started playing Kibby without you guys. You could see he's facing a waddlehee alone while his buddy watched. A balloon with a sombrero was laying next to him. The string connected to the game controller. The brother looked relieved as he took a quick look at you guys before he went back to the game.

"Hey, lovebirds. Liam's been needing a break and I need backup"

After you greeted Liam and hearing Blue groan at the pun. It was your turn to join in. Blue offered to sit on the floor so you and his brother could sit on the couch. Papy was way ahead of him and took over the whole couch. He looked at the two of you and places two pillows and a blanket on the floor. In order for you guys to get comfortable. Which was nice of him. You were placed on the pillow. Blue wrapped a blanket over you. It was big enough for two people, then you decided to drape half of it over him. It reached over his shoulders

"DONT WORRY MILADY. SKELETONS ARE MOSTLY MAGIC. OUR MAGIC REGULATES US" He beckoning you to touch him.

You place your hand on his arm and feel a nice warmth coming from it. You already knew this with Sans. But you felt guilty for taking the whole blanket to yourself.

Without much as a glance, you scoot closer to Blue in retaliation. Leaning on him as a pillow and start playing with Percy.S

Soon Blue joined after his constant ranting to go find all the hidden areas first. All 3 of you were on a quest to find stop the villain. Facing mini-bosses and finding new friends. Before long your all facing an evil bird. Victory was within grasp. With everyone's excellent teamwork. You guys weakened the guy with your elemental abilities. Blue kept sneaking a nuzzle from you whenever he thought you were too focused on the game. You only found out when you found the floating balloon bump into your face, landing between you two. Blue didn't notice until he was rubbing his face on Liam.

"Just because you can heal her with nuzzles in the game doesn't mean the same principle can be applied here bro"

That's all it took before Blue was blushing up a storm. This caused him to ambush Papy in tickle attacks. They were wrestling for dominance moments after. They used whatever was on hand. Pillows were scattered, bones were used. You watched as Papy started to cheat by hurtling pillows to his advantage. Blue was only able to get the upper hand when he wrapped his brother into a burrito. This shenanigans only led to their downfall. It was fun to watch. You couldn't help but laugh at their childish antics. To see the same guy fussing over you to being the punisher of younger brothers.

"Boys how about we play something else?"

Hoping they got the message and try to play nice. But at this point, both seemed to be doing this for their pride. So it didn't surprise you when you heard their responses.

"Nah"

"UNTIL HE SURRENDERS!"

So that didn't work. You looked at your phone to see a message from Papyrus. This must be good. You can't remember if you replied to the photos. Scrolling through your apps. You see the message pop up.

Papyrus

I WAS WONDERING IF ME AND FRISK COULD COME VISIT NEXT WEEK. WE MISS YOU AND WANTED TO SEE YOU.

You

Sure, please bring your own pillows. My apartments a bit small but you can share the bed.

Papyrus

THANK YOU. WE ARE EXCITED TO SEE YOU. THERE'S A LOT TO CATCH UP ON :)

This was a surprise. Papyrus was offering to come and bring along frisk. You miss that ray of sunshine. It couldn't hurt to have them over. Frisk always knew what to talk about when it came to you. How old was the kid now. 14 or 15? You text a quick ok and look up to see the boys playing Uno on the floor. You place your phone on the ground. And walk over to them.

"Wait...what happened?" You were confused. The pillows were still a disarray. The cushions to the couch were on the floor. Only the blankets were tidy compared to the cyclone that hit the living room. There was a fight that you failed to witness the end.

"WAR HAPPENED" Blue spoke solemnly. His face gave no clue to what happened. His eye focused on the 2 cards he had. Only his eye lights were slightly dark shade of cerulean.

This didn't explain anything!

You turn to papy to see him look all somber. He was laying on his stomach and fixed on the thousands of cards in his hand. Papy had a great poker face because his voice was the only indicator that he lost.

" Stupid, stupid, stupid crocodile tears," he said under his breath.

Ok..so it was up to you to lift up the mood.

"Hey Blue could we watch a movie?"

"SURE, UNO"

Blue got up and nodded placing his draw 4 cards on the pile and ending their game. He made his way to their DVD section. There wasn't much to watch. Only one hidden gem caught your eye. The goonies being a cult classic. There was definitely something for everyone. You stared at them for their approval. Blue didn't mind if he could sit next to you. And Percy just shrugged and vegged on the floor. You guys picked up a bit before you started the movie. You could tell it was going to be fun. The scene started to play and soon you guys started your own commentary on your take on the goonies.

" Should I be offended by the lack of clothing on those skeletons ?" Percy asked as he pointed at the scene where the boys were playing the boney piano.

"Sure but this was before we knew monsters lived inside the mountain" you were wrapped in a blanket as you and the boys were doing your own commentary on the movie.

"WHY ARE THEY MEAN TO EACH OTHER?" Blue asked.

" children are a bit cruel but no worries, most of those kids meant well"

Thinking back wouldn't blue know this? He is active and social. And seems popular to have plenty of friends. Monsters were kind and never leave anyone out. So wouldn't he know this?

"Hey Blue, didn't you have friends who would do dumb and embarrassing things with you?"

"NO. I HAD MANY FRIENDS THAT LOVED ME AND SHOWERED ME WITH KISSES!"

"S-Blue, I don't have to be a judge to call you out on your lie"

This was a surprise. Did Blue not have a lot of friends?

You stared at Papy smirking, Blue's face started to glow.

"So there's a reason why our cousins call him blue. It's short for blueberry. And how he can't seem to h-" he was abruptly cut off by Blue covering his mouth. A dark shade of cerulean crawled into his cheeks.

"YOU PROMISED YOU WOULDN'T TELL A SOUL!"

Papy teleported to the kitchen. He came back with a bottle of honey. The boy chugged it as if it were water. The drink seemed to give him a boost of courage.

"Don't tell me, he didn't tell you about the blueberry accident. He changes once he takes a bite"

This piqued your interest. This reminded you of the little creatures that had certain restrictions.

"Is it like gremlins? "

Papy looked at you a bit puzzled. It took him a moment to realize your asking in comparison.

"Is gremlins crazy?"

You nod viciously. He begins to smile. Blue was running his way.

"Then definitely like gremlins" he smirks at his words as he teleports back on the couch.

"PAAAAAAAAAAAAPYYYY!" Blue screamed as he tried to catch his slippery brother.

"She has the right to know! A date-mate has to watch out for you. Anyways... he goes a little berserk if given blueberries"

Blue started to make bone barriers to slow down his brother. Papy would dodged each attack with ease. While Blue was catching his breath, papy whispered something to his brother. The younger brother watched as his brother's face changed with dread. It was enough for Blue to get a second wind and get ahold of his brother. You could only watch as his eyes turned round again. Looking at them filled you with fear. You've seen that look before with sans. What came after always left you in tears. You needed to stop him from attacking.

"Let me tell you about my blueberry story than" you blurted out

After a few deep breaths, you looked at the boys. Each one looked frozen to place. You watched as the pair of blue and orange eye lights mesmerized, they gazed with a look of wonder. At least you got their attention.

"People call me squeaks or Chippy... You can imagine why. If you scare me or even just catch me off guard, I tend to squeak like a mouse. The worst of it was when I squeaked while mid sneeze. I don't like it but it's a part of me. And I think Blueberry is a nice nickname" you could feel your face heat up from just hearing yourself. Now to wait patiently for them to laugh or test it out. But nothing happened. "Just know I don't mind the n-eek"

You squeaked as you were caught off guard by Blue lifting you up into a hug. If you thought Blue was smitten with you before, looking at him now was an understatement. His cheeks rubbing against yours as he whispered cute repeatedly against your cheek. You could feel a large hand gently pat your head.

"That's really cool" Papy added as he ruffled your hair for good measure.

And with that ended their brotherly bout. Your embarrassing story leads them to tell their own. This spiraled into who had the most embarrassing family story.

"REMEMBER WHEN RED LACED YOUR SANDWICH WITH HONEY MUSTARD"

" Uhh don't remind me. I still taste that monstrosity at times!"

"Hey at least you didn't flash anyone while falling on your tailbone during ice practice"

Each story more embarrassing than the last. It was hard to tell who had the better story. You don't remember the last time you laughed this much. It felt like ages since you had some fun with friends. How long has it been since you spent time with some? All you could recall was telling some friends that you moved.

There was a feeling of nostalgia when she looked at the scene before her. Everyone was sitting around the kitchen. Papy and Blue munching on some tacos to finalize the truce. While you sip at your water, trying not to choke. Papy turned to you with a mischievous glint.

"Please TALUS more y/n"

This brought a smile on your face as you looked at the unexpected Papy getting captured by Blue. You laughed as Blue lifted him up from the chair.

" THAT'S ENOUGH FOR TONIGHT PAPY, YOU HAVE WORK TOMORROW" Blue lifted him over his shoulders and carried him up the stairs with ease. Papy finger guns aiming at you all the way upstairs. Besides laughing at the scene before you it was impressive that Blue could carry his brother.

"Until toMARROWWWWW" you called out to Papy before Blue closed the door on him and made his way to you.

"Aww and I was enjoying those puns too," you said with a tone of disappointment. You really did enjoy having a pun rival again. Maybe you could ask for his number so you guys could pun without annoying Blue. Oh well, maybe next time.

Blue looked at you and shook his head. "PLEASE NO MORE" He grabbed on to your hand. "SORRY CUTIE! LET ME TAKE YOU HOME. MY SHIFT WILL BE STARTING SOON."

"Ok, could I ask what you do?" Your curious to where a skeleton would work.

"I'M A SECURITY GUARD FOR A FEW PLACES AT THE MALL"

You smiled and nodded. What a great guy. A big goofball that protects people. It fit him perfectly with how social and well built. You made your way to grab your things. Making sure to grab your phone from the table. You exit with Blue and make your way to his blueberry. To end a good day together. Blue drove you home as each of you took turns playing music.

"I'M GLAD YOUR HERE AND THANK YOU"

his voice sounded nervous. Did he have something on his mind. It took a few moments before he spoke up again

"WHEN I MADE IT TO THE SURFACE BLUEBERRIES WERE THE FIRST THING I HAD. AND I GUESS I GET OVER EXCITED AND A BIT INSANE OVER THE SWEET TASTE. AND RED HAS TOOK A VIDEO OF ME GOING CRAZY FOR THEM. I DIDN'T WANT YOU TO LOOK AT ME LESS THAN MAGNIFICENT"

This didn't surprise you. You could understand if he wanted to hide it from you. But you felt more at ease knowing he had his own flaws and could tell you about it. Even if his brother pushed for it.

" No one's perfect. We both learned something embarrassing about each other "

Blue face soften as he looked at her with new admiration. You couldn't help but feel the same. You both stare at the beautiful sunset. A perfect way to end your time together.

You made it to your door. It was a shame you couldn't spend more time with him. While you fumbled to find your keys. You found the key and unlocked your place. She didn't know what to do in this situation.

"Um"

"MY LADY, I PROMISE TO SEE YOU SOON. I promise to amaze you in our first date" He whispered the last part as he moved closer to you. You weren't sure to stop him. It surprised you that Blue clasped your hand and placed a light kiss on it. "Thank you for giving us a chance "

This gesture left you starstruck. Blue waved as he made his way back to his car. Both of you felt a bit better about today.

Papy pov

Once he flopped onto his bed he pulled out his phone. While you and blue were picking out a movie. He got a hold of your phone and add himself into your contacts. He's been looking for someone to appreciate his puns. You got his approval once he caught a glimpse of your soul. It was faint but a small navy heart was glowing when you opened up to them. A soul with Integrity was perfect for his brother.

There was one problem. Papyrus. He wasn't prepared to see papyrus texting you. Reading your conversation left him worried. How do you know this universes Sans and Papyrus? And what kind of relationship do you have with them?
