Chapter Text
I bounded up to the door of the two-story cabin-house-thing, making sure to kick off the snow on my shoes. Dad soon followed, carrying everything we needed. Huh, wait a sec, we…
“Where’s Blot gone?” I asked, raising an ‘eyebrow’. Dad stopped in his tracks and turned around.
“Hey kid, you’re like, half a mile away!” he called out, ignoring the glares of the monsters in Underfell Snowdin. Blot gave a grumble and ran up to us.
“I still don’t get why I have t’ come.”
“Because I’m not going on my first slumber party without my BBF!”
“…BBF?” he asked, suddenly curious.
“Yeah! Best-Bro-Forever!”
“Ugh-“
“You guys going to do this or not?” Dad smirked. “These bags are getting kinda heavy. Did you guys put rocks in here?”
“Maybe.”
“Blooooot,” I groaned, exasperated. “If you throw stuff at Rasp, you’ll get kicked out!”
“Good,” he grinned. “Maybe then I can go do something cool instead of hanging out with kids.”
Dad sighed.
“Whatever, kids. Your Father and I are gonna be very busy tonight, so all I need is for you to be here. No one else is available and, besides, I’m sure Blu- uh, BB’s Dad will make things entertaining for you all!”
“Ok! Letsa do this,” I exclaimed, striking a pose, much to Blot’s annoyance.
“Whatever, let’s just get this done,” he groaned, pressing the buzzer. Some shuffling could be heard from inside and the door soon opened. Mister Red stood there, grinning and showing off his sparkly golden tooth.
“Sup kids?”
“Hi Mister Red!”
“Heya Red! Thanks sooo much for doing this last minute!”
“Hey, no problem,” Mister Red responded, tooth glinting in the light slightly. “Anythin’ for these rascals.”
“Heh, well then, I’d better get going!” Dad chirped.
“Yeah…Oh and hey, good luck with the thing!”
“Thing? What thing?” I asked, tilting my head. Dad grinned.
“Oh, you’ll see tomorrow!”
“Is it a present?!”
“In a way, yes.”
Blot looked up, curious.
“What kind of present?”
“Like I said, you’ll see,” Dad laughed. He then saluted at Mister Red, like he does with all of his friends. “Welp, see ya! Good luck with all four of them!”
“Heh, don’t make it sound like we’ve bitten off more than we can chew,” Red scoffed jokingly, grin still intact. “But, seriously, best wishes from the both of us!”
And after one last goodbye, Dad was gone. We shuffled into the warmth of the house, and I looked around. I’d seen the layout of the skele-brothers houses before, but this was different. I suppose it was something to do with the fact that there were two Sanses, two Papyruses, and two kids under one roof. Like, I could see a spiral-staircase into an attic-type room, which, judging by the pink and purple theme I could see from there, was BB and Rasp’s room. The kitchen had also been extended and there was a big dining table in there too. Also, the colors of this house were clearly not keeping with the Underfell theme of the AU. But oh well, it’s not like I was about to bring a camera and photograph the differences.
I turned to Mister Red, who seemed to be having a sudden staring contest with a tall skeleton in an orange hoodie. I’m guessing this was one of the Papyruses.
“…Sooo,” he began, breaking the silence. “Didja adopt more kids?”
“…No Stretch, they’re just staying over whilst Ink and Error…you know…”
“Oh. But wasn’t there another kid?” Mister Stretch asked.
“Gray’s at Raven and Goth’s house with Palette,” Blot answered, clearly amused by the confusion our family had caused.
“Sure, ok,” Mister Stretch shrugged, turning back to the TV. Just then, someone slid down the spiral banister. It was Rasp, who was dressed in a pink plaid shirt that was way too big for her. I’m guessing those were her pyjamas. She looked verrry annoyed when she saw who it was.
“Oh. It’s you two,” she grimaced. She turned and called up the stairs. “BB! Your loser friend and his lame brother are here-“
“Rasp.
“-Whatever, sorry I guess,” she muttered. More shuffling was heard, and BB padded down the spiral stairs. She was wearing a purple long-sleeved shirt with matching pants, carrying a galaxy pillow. She smiled shyly when she saw me.
“H-Hi Sketch!”
“Hi BB!” I replied, racing up the stairs and hugging her. She squeaked slightly and I heard Rasp sigh.
“So uh, I hate to break up the party, but where are us boys supposed to change?” Blot asked, raising a ‘brow’.
“You two can use mine and Blue’s room. Jus’ don’t touch anythin’.”
“Ok Mister Red!” I exclaimed, letting go of BB and running after him as he opened the door. The room was rather clean, and the bedspread was a boring cream. The walls, however, were either blue or red, and there was a shelf of action figures above a desk. There was also a display of two bones crossing each other, one tinted red, the other tinted blue. That was a cool idea, using magic to remind you that you’re bound to someone whenever you woke up or right before you went to sleep! Also there was…a plush toy taco with a plush toy bottle of mustard at the end of the bed. Strange, but they looked kinda cute to be honest. Mister Red laughed.
“The toys were Blue’s idea. He’s always comin’ up with stuff like that.”
“What about the bones?”
“Ah, again, Blue,” Mister Red smiled warmly. “Well, technically, he got the idea from our brothers, but he suggested it. Right before we went to bed on our wedding night,” he recounted, a glimmer in his eye-sockets.
“Ew, adults are gross,” Blot grimaced, making Mister Red roar with laughter.
“Kid, somethin’ like that might happen t’ you one day,” he chuckled. Blot scrunched up his face.
“Heck no. I’d rather go to the OT.”
“Well, lucky you, because that’s what you do every day, isn’t it?”
“Whatever,” Blot murmured. He got out his pyjamas and threw mine at me, which I luckily caught. “Get changed, weirdo.”
I smiled.
“Sure, BBF.”
