Chapter Text
Once inside everyone parts their separate ways. The mall was ridiculously large. Luckily you had the whole day for shopping otherwise you might not be able to get through it all.
"Did you guys have specifics in mind? Otherwise we can just start looking at all the stores. Kinda peek in to see if each one has anything we might wanna look at?" You asked amused while looking at the boys gaping mouths.
"I THINK WE SHOULD INVESTIGATE THE ENTIRE MALL, FAIR PRINCESS!" Papyrus beamed.
"WELL COME ON PAPYRUS! LET'S GOOO!!" Blue fist pumped once more before trying to drag you and Paps ahead.
Que cute mall shopping montage while "Tangled" by Thomas Rhett plays.
You get texts here and there from the others asking opinions, but other than that it seems everyone is content. Your stomach growls as you reply to the latest text. You look up embarrassed.
"Hungry there kid?" Sans grins.
" Yeah… probably a good time to stop for a lunch break." You shrug nonchalantly. "I'll send a group text to everyone telling them that we're gonna pop by the food court if they wanna join."
Group text: Skeleboys: Red, Edge, Mutt…
Hey guys. Getting a bit hungry. So we're gonna head over to the food court, feel free to join if you want! 💚
"EXCELLENT IDEA PRINCESS. FOOD ALWAYS TASTES BEST WHEN ENJOYED IN THE COMPANY OF FRIENDS!" Paps declares energetically.
"Yea. And it is about that thyme anyways, we butter get going or it will be impastable to get there first." Sans smirked as Papyrus flew into a mini fit of rage. Bemoaning his brothers use of puns.
You giggled unhindered, amused by Papyrus's mock anger. To be honest the reactions we're probably the best part of even telling puns in the first place, but you wouldn't tell them that even if you were almost positive they knew already.
"Well then I suppose we should get going. We doughnut want to be late." You managed between giggles.
Blue slid to his knees with a loud groan and threw his hands up in the air. "WHYYYYYYYY?!"
"No need to make a big dill out of it bro. She's just saying if we doughnut go now it'll be a huge missed steak. " Stretch gave you a wink.
"MAKE IT STOOOOP!" Blue wailed.
You clutch your sides as you laugh harder practically toppling over. Sans keeps you from falling with a smirk.
"You okay kiddo? You look like you're gonna peel over. Do you need to taco 'bout it? Come on kid talk to me, we don't wanna have to berry you… Paps I don't think she's breathin' if she continues she might become a vegetable. And I don't think we'll be able to save her." Sans now has the most shit eating grin. As he holds you up, your legs having now given out and your face all too red from lack of air.
Papyrus gives Sans a stone faced look. "That's It. We're done. WE'RE DONE!!" He storms over and scoops both yourself and Blue up with minimal effort before trodding off quickly to the food court. The sound of Sans and Stretch laughing following shortly after Paps leaves them. You still were unable to quite catch your breath, but started to manage once Papyrus set you down at a table. You tried to reel in the giggles as Papyrus and Blue looked at you with mild concern.
"Whew. Jeez. I haven't laughed that hard… in a long time." You huffed.
"Will You Be Okay Milady?" Blue raised a hand to carefully move the hair from your face.
"Huh? Yeah I'll be fine. Momentary lack of oxygen won't kill me guys. Seriously, you don't need to worry about me all the time." You tilt your head gently to the side and flash them a content smile. "Not saying that you guys being worried doesn't flatter me. It really does. It's nice, but I don't want you to be so worried you can't just enjoy everything. How about this? I can get you guys a couple books on humans when we get home if you want and any questions you can't find you can ask me or the Overnet."
"THAT SOUNDS WONDERFULLY EDUCATIONAL AND MUCH APPRECIATED PRINCESS! NYEH HE HE! BLUE AND I SHALL BECOME HUMAN EXPERTS IN NO TIME AT ALL!" He beamed at you and your worry minimized to almost nothing. They would be able to have fun and relax without freaking out about you so often.
"UNTIL WE BECOME EXPERTS IN THE SUBJECT OF HUMANS MILADY WE SHOULD COME UP WITH SOME WAY TO DETERMINE IF YOU REQUIRE SERIOUS HELP OR NOT!" Blue hummed thoughtfully.
"I could just tell you." You smirked while raising a brow.
"I SUPPOSE."
You giggled. "Well now that that's settled we should decide on what place we wanna grab food from. We don't need to agree on a place just decide what you're hungry for and order."
"I'd like to order some o' you sweetheart~" Red purred into your ear.
You're blood flooded your cheeks and you gave a small shudder at the close proximity of his baritone voice making Red chuckle darkly as he backs up ever so slightly.
You look over as Edge grabs the back of Red's hoodie tugging him farther away from you. "BONEHEAD THE HUMAN IS CLEARLY NOT ON THE MENU SO STOP YOU'RE DISGUSTING FLIRTING AND DECIDE ON SOMETHING EDIBLE. ALTHOUGH KNOWING YOU, WHATEVER SWILL YOU CHOOSE WILL BE SWIMMING IN GREASE."
Red looked fairly relaxed in his brothers grip considering that Edge wasn't complaining as much as usual. Red gave a knowing shrug looking up at his brother with a wink. "Ah, well what can I say boss. I'd fry some thin' else, but I just don't think I'd have the stomach for it."
You attempted to cover a small snort of laughter as Edge tossed his brother straight up into the air with an impressive amount of force. You whistled low. "You think he'll return back into orbit in time for dinner?"
"WHO CARES. HE FUCKING DESERVED IT." Edge grumbled.
"LANGUAGE!" Blue scolded.
Edge merely rolled his eyes as Sans and Stretch finally caught up.
"Ya feeling better there honey? Thought you might pass out on us. I mean I knew the puns were killer but I never expected it to go that far." Stretch teased.
"NOT THE OTHER PUN LOVING MORONS." Edge groaned.
"Oh, sup Edgelord. Where's Red?" Sans questioned amused. Edge looked offended by the nickname when Sans used it, but huffed, crossed his arms, and said nothing.
You smiled wide before pointing up. Sans looked up to see Red hanging onto a ceiling arch, with sweat dripping down the side of his skull, before laughing. Stretch joined in shortly after, realizing.
"Yeah, yeah really hilarious. Now c'n someone get me down?" Red barked. More than likely worried about his current predicament rather than annoyed.
You giggled slightly before using your magic to once again form wings. You flew up taking care not to cause to much wind with your take off to disturb tables nearby. You reached around him to carry him princess style on the way down. His pride took a hit for that, but he seemed thankful enough mumbling a thank you quickly before you set him down and disassembled your wings.
"I Don't Think I'll Ever Get Used To Seeing That." Blue sighed dreamily as the shimmering powder effect from your wings surrounded you and disappeared.
"You're not the only one bud." Sans admitted.
You give them a questioning glance. "My wings? Or my magic in general?"
"Pro'ly a bit of both hunny." Stretch said swirling a sucker to the opposite side of his mouth.
"If it ever bothers you guys, I can always use it less?"
"IT IS NOT YOUR USE OF IT PRINCESS. WE HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH YOUR MAGIC. IT IS JUST UNIQUE AND LOVELY, AND VERY SUITING FOR YOU. WHEN IT GOES AWAY IT SOMEHOW MAKES YOU LOOK EVEN MORE LOVELY THAN YOU ALREADY ARE!" Papyrus beams and Sans chokes on air.
Your face heats up slowly and you shyly grab your arm and look at your feet. "Ah-um Thanks Pap I ah-appreciate it… alot. You're really very sweet." You shift on your feet equal parts happy and embarrassed.
"HE ONLY SPEAKS THE TRUTH DEAR MAIDEN! YOU LOOK EXTRA SPARKLY AND BEAUTIFUL WHEN YOUR MAGIC SURROUNDS YOU!" Blue chimed.
Okay, now it was time to become a tomato and thus become one with the ground. You raise your shoulders to your ears and cover your mouth slightly with your clasped hands in an attempt to hide while you were praised by the people you adore. Oh, why did they have to be so sweet, and cute, and oh stars you could just cry.
"WHAT WERE WE TALKING ABOUT? OH, IS HUMAN Y/N ALRIGHT? SHE LOOKS RATHER RED AND I AM CERTAIN SHE DID NOT LOOK THAT WAY BEFORE." Tango asked as him and his brother approached.
"'m sure she's fine bro. Feather just seems flustered s'all." Remix grinned.
"TO GET EMBARRASSED OVER SUCH TRIVIAL MATTERS IS RIDICULOUS." Edge scoffed.
"I suppose I'm just not used to compliments is all." You meekly stated.
They looked at you in surprise as you lightly twisted the toe of your shoe into the flooring.
"HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? I FOR ONE AM SHOCKED YOU ARE NOT COMPLIMENTED MORE! AS YOUR AMAZING NEW FRIEND I SHALL MAKE SURE TO RECTIFY THIS AT ONCE!" Papyrus grandly waved a hand as he spoke.
Blue and Tango nodded in agreement. "DO NOT WORRY MILADY FOR WE SHALL MAKE SURE YOU ARE COMPLIMENTED DAILY! COMPLETE WITH HUGS SO YOU GET THE CUDDLE QUOTA YOU TALKED ABOUT! IT IS THE LEAST WE COULD DO AS YOUR AMAZINGLY AWESOME FRIENDS!" Blue stated happily.
"The least you could do? I assure you, you could do a heck of a lot less and I wouldn't even blame you for it." You commented with a small sigh.
"NONSENSE. IT WILL BE A DELIGHT TO HELP YOU REALIZE YOUR OWN MERITS!" Papyrus protested.
"If you say so Paps." You responded.
"I DO SAY SO! NOW LET'S GET FOOD! IT IS ESSENTIAL TO KEEP OURSELVES IN GOOD SPIRITS WITH A HEALTHY DIET." Papyrus assured.
You skipped towards the food with Papyrus, Tango, Blue and Edge. Chatting happily as you went, a hint of your prior blush just barely still gracing your features, yet none of the embarrassment. You were happy. It was easy to see and everyone relaxed at the tables. While grabbing your food you realize you hadn't thought about the dinner plan for tonight. You grabbed food and made your way back to the tables in a hurried fashion. You swiftly set down your tray before taking out your phone an idea already forming.
"What's the rush there kitten?" G purred as he put an arm around your shoulders and looked at your phone.
In your tunnel vision to get back to the table you neglected to notice G and Asters arrival. The others were all grabbing food now so you smiled up at him.
"I can tell you… but only if you promise not to tell the others until we get home. I promise it's nothing bad, but if you can't do at least that for me I can't tell you and you'll have to let go of me for now." You gently poke his cheek.
"Mmmmm, I suppose I can work with that one, but only because you're so cute." G winked. In reality it was because you gave a timeframe in which to keep the promise and this way he could keep an eye on what you were up to, not to mention hold it over everyone else's heads. Still you blushed all the same before happily turning your attention back to your phone, swiftly typing away.
"Jeez, inviting enough people to that chat kitten?" G raised a brow bone.
"Meh, honestly wish I could invite more." You admitted still focused on not missing anyone.
Grillby, Muffet, and 84 more
"There, I think I got everyone." You grinned and began typing.
Grillby, Muffet, and 84 more
Hi everyone! It's Y/N. Some of you have met me and the rest of you I'm hoping to meet. So on that note I'll get right to the point. All the skelebros and I are out at the mall today and I don't think I'll be back in time to make dinner. However, I was hoping to give them a familiar taste to go back to and I don't think it would be proper to only go to one hangout, nor would I want to exclude one location over another. So, I was thinking. Why not have a party with everyone to ease their worries? All of you that have bars and bakeries I would be delighted if you could help with the food for it. You will be compensated for your time and effort of course if you choose to help. I figure our place is large enough for the party and feel free to use the provisions in the house, you can bring your own if you want, but don't feel like you need to. If anyone else wants to bring a dish feel free to! Oh, and for the kids there is plenty to do, I trust you kids to find it easily. The only ground rules I wanna set is try not to break anything, stay on the ground floor, and no fighting. Gasters if you could help supervise I'll get that request of yours forwarded to an earlier date. Anyways, the backyard, beach, and ground floor are all fair game to hang out in. We have a rather large parking ramp too so feel free to use that. Also, feel free to invite anyone I missed. Let me know if you guys need transport. I'll try to rope Ink into helping me. And lastly Don't Tell the Skelebros. If you guys decide to come it's supposed to be a surprise, so sssshhhhh. 💚 Hope to see you all there. Y/N.

G whistled low and appraisingly before smiling at you. "You're too good for the lot of them kitten, at this rate, I think I'll just take ya and keep ya for myself." He mused while wrapping his arms around your waist and resting his skull next to yours.
"Not too good for you though, huh?" You playfully giggled.
"Especially too good for me. Doesn't mean I want you any less though." He almost whispered as he nuzzled you affectionately.
"Hey hunny, is this guy botherin' ya?" Stretch said half teasingly.
You giggled as G huffed and rolled his eyelights. " You're just jealous that you aren't cuddled up to her. She is quite comfy so I can see why." G gave Stretch a knowing smirk.
Stretch sputtered slightly "I was just concerned that you were so close is all. Don't want ta make her uncomfortable."
"I'm fine! I like the cuddles. I take them where I can, when I can, from whomever wishes to give them to me." You close your eyes smiling and gently nuzzle G back.
G looked a bit shocked by it faintly blushing a bright yellow, but smiled all the same as Stretch all but outright pouted.
You looked at Stretch, blushed, tensed, and immediately pursed your lips together to keep from openly and loudly squealing. All that came past your lips were muffled cries of adoration. Stretch proceeded to look confused as he continued his pout.
" I… Cannot… Take It… Anymore." You pulled him by his arm towards you and straight into your chest. "YOU ARE SOOO ADORABLE! AWWW THE POUTS ARE TOO DAMN CUTE I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO HANDLE IT ANYMORE. MY CHEST FEELS TIGHT AND YET I FEEL SO HAPPY THAT I CAN'T HELP BUT WANT TO LOVE AND CUDDLE YOU FOREVERRR! I DONT EVEN WANNA LET YOU LEAVE ME YOU ADORABLE BEAN OF A SKELETON!" You nuzzled your face into the top of his skull as you hugged him. Stretch blushed wildly as he attempted to look up at you while his cheek rested on your chest. You hummed happily as you nuzzled him relentlessly.
G laughed. "Is that all I need to do to get you to snuggle up to me like that kitten? Pout? Really?"
You nodded still smiling wildly.
"WHAT IS HAPPENING?" Leo asked as he paraded over looking rather confused.
"Kittens going wild over a simple pout. Thought it was cute and now she won't let go of stretch." G reached over to poke stretch and you made a high pitched rumbling noise similar to their growls while puffing out your cheeks. G then lost it and you resumed nuzzling Stretch who was holding back laughter.
"I SEE. THIS SITUATION IS, QUITE AMUSING." Leo smiled at you gently. "ALTHOUGH, ARE YOU ALRIGHT STRETCH? YOU LOOK RATHER UNCOMFORTABLE."
Stretch chuckles slightly and gives Leo a thumbs up.
"Yeah, don't know about that one bud. He looks rather comfy to me." Remix stated as he strolled in.
"Yeah, I'm in the breast situation right now. Tit couldn't get any better. Bra- nestly." Stretch stated as he sat accepting his fate.
Leo groaned in agony as Orion waltzed over. "WHATS GOING ON?"
"Nothing much, just having a tit illating conversation about my predicament. Honestly 10/10." Stretch chuckled.
Orion flushed and looked mortified. "STRETCH, I DON'T KNOW IF YOU SHOULD BE MAKING THOSE VULGAR PUNS. DON'T YOU THINK IT MIGHT BE A BIT MUCH? EVEN FOR YOU?"
"I couldn't imagine as to what you're referring to." Stretch smugly chuckled.
You didn't falter in your happy cuddles. "You are MINE now. Yup, just decided. Mine." You nod resolutely.
Stretch's blush reached past his cheekbones as he once again attempted to look up at you. "O..oh yeah? You sure about that one honeybee?"
You nodded once more. " You're My Adorable Skellie. No matter how annoying you can be sometimes, or stubborn, or mean. I still adore you. You big dorky skellebean. And at least for the moment you are mine."
You smile down at him once more. His entire skull is orange at this point and you have to wonder when a fruit replaced your skellebeans skull. " Did I say something wrong stretch?" You question.
"NO, I THINK YOU HAVE A HABIT OF SAYING EXACTLY WHAT PEOPLE WANT TO HEAR Y/N." Papyrus exclaimed while walking over.
"I'd like to know how you manage that darlin'. How do you know exactly what to say? Can ya read minds or somethin'?" Mutt drawls as he sets down his tray of food.
"Hmm? Oh no. No mind reading. I suppose it's kindness 101? I just say things that I'd like to hear while keeping true to myself and how I feel towards an individual I suppose." You shrug.
"So you'd like to hear somethin' like that then sweetheart?" Red smirks while deciding to sit in one of the seats nearest to you.
Your body tenses slightly and you avoid eye contact. "Yeah, well maybe a little, but I mean, who wouldn't want to be told that regardless of all their flaws they are still loved and that someone will always want you around?" It's a sweet sentiment and I meant it. You guys despite all your flaws are always going to be some of my favorite people. I will always want you guys close by." You smile rather gently down at Stretch who is attempting to go to hoodie town as you pet the top of his skull.
Many blushing faces would be seen if you only looked up God damn it. However, you did not. Not until someone else approached.
"Damn, you guys all look uncomfortable. What'd I miss?" Night said as he and Dream approached.
"Nightm- Night can't you tell? They all are feeling so loved that their magic is acting up. Isn't it wonderful?" Dream beamed.
"What got them that way?" Night raised a brow bone in question, but not a soul spoke up.
"I suppose im to blame." You state.
"Makes sense." Night replies before sitting down and saying nothing more on the matter.
"HU- Y/N MAYBE YOU SHOULD LET STRETCH GO SO WE CAN ALL EAT. IT WOULDN'T DO FOR YOU BOTH TO NOT GET PROPER NUTRITION." Tango said attempting to redivert the conversation.
He was successful and you sighed before letting go of Stretch. " I suppose you're right. We should eat. Sorry for keeping you so long Stretch." You have him an apologetic smile.
"No worries Hun. No skin off my bones." Stretch chuckled.
The rest of lunch was filled with happy chatting and munching.
