Electric feelings

You wake up bright and early to get started on, well, your job. Getting up isn't easy as your blankets tempt you to stay and sleep the morning away. But you know your job is what pays the bills and keeps you fed most of the time. You start at 6 but you make sure to be up at 5 to keep up your regimen. Always start your day by splashing some freezing cold water. And going straight to the fridge to get breakfast started. Warming up the cream of chicken in the microwave. Nuking would be the best way to go. The sweet aroma eases the mind, it was like your morning coffee but without the bitter breath. Which reminded you to check your phone for any messages.

A notification flashed PAPYRUS all over the screen. It's great to hear from her buddy. Even after the breakup, papyrus continued to stay in contact.

He is such a cool guy.

Your phone flashed more messages from papyrus. Nice!

He probably sent another pic of the new stray kitties they found. There's no one else that would text this early in the morning.  Papyrus was your go-to morning buddy. Whenever he wasn't working on something, he would send you a text in the morning, something simple as a new pasta dish he tried, to volunteer work with Frisk. So far he's been passionate to help at the animal shelter this month.

That's not the only thing he's been messaging you. Recently he's been asking when you could come back to visit. Your response has been the same. Telling him that you're too busy with work and can't make time. But in fact, that was a lie.

Papyrus meant well, but you didn't want to be in an awkward situation. The idea that you were hoping and fearing to face Sans is whats holding you back.

For now, she changed the topic to recipes. Or send crazy memes so pap would scold her. The fun inducing puns were her go-to thing. If she does it enough maybe papyrus would get the hint. And stop bringing up the subject. For now, if he asked, she'll ask about his volunteer work. Lately, Papyrus has been doing a lot for the community by helping out at soup kitchens, volunteering at animal shelters. It warms your heart with pride for the skelly, making the world just a bit more wholesome.

She turned on her phone to see pictures of him and Sans at an amusement park with frisk. Some had them doing bunny ears. While other it looked like Papyrus was scolding Sans. One had Frisk wearing a flower hat, made out of balloons. Aww so cute! One picture stood out among the rest. A little girl with a sweet smile. Who could this be in the picture? Short hair like frisk but their eyes were a darkish red. The last pic was all of them together. It held a caption saying. WE MISS YOU AT THE FAIR!

(Aww….bad papyrus)

Just seeing them smiling brought back memories. 

*Going on their two year anniversary

"hey sans let's go on the teacups!"

The amusement park had a new ride that year. The teacups were colorful and breathtaking. You pull him as he takes pictures of the place. It was odd how Sans always took pictures of everything at the time, still, it was a warm summer day. Perfect weather for your special day. Spending time with San was always a blast.

"That's a pre-tea good idea beau-teaful" He grabbed your waist as he pulled you closer to him. The camera he brought flashed as he pulled you in for a smooch. You're both in your own little world whenever you kiss. It takes a moment for you to flutter your eyes open. You turn to see people making a line for the ride.

"Oh sansy, lets hurry before the line gets too long" You pull him by the arms as you make a run for it.

"Sweetea we'll be fine. As long as my cutea is with me, I'm happy" he followed her pace with the camera at hand.

*

Looking back the memory always gave you a big grin. It was the last happy memory you would make that year. Not long after that Sans started to act more distant. Spending less time with you. Coming up with random reasons not to hang out. And barely talking to you. And when you two were finally together, his mind was elsewhere.

It took you a moment to take a deep breath and move on with your tasks.

She loves papyrus but she couldn't face that yet. Even when they broke up Sans told her they will always stay friends, it was hard to believe him. When his eye lights couldn't make contact with her, she knew it was over. So they kept up a charade for everyone that they were still friends. He would send a funny meme her way, she would send one back. But a month or two after she moved, he just stopped texting altogether. He didn't even ask her why she left town. It didn't stop her from sending him a text during the holidays.

Ding

Sweet! your soup was done. You pour the stuff into your travel mug. You could drink it on the way to work. The bakery was walking distance so no worries for her. Her phone was starting to play the song "love like you" from your favorite kid's show. The one with all the fighting gems, who raise a boy in a new world.

You look at the unknown answer. If this was another spam call about winning a raffle for checking into a hotel-she-didn't-even-go-to!

She would probably yell a bit. But it was too early for that. She answered after the second ring.

"Yellow"

"HELLO, HUMAN! I mean.. Y/N! THIS IS BLUE. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE GIVEN ANYONE ELSE YOUR NUMBER RECENTLY, AND FELT THE NEED FOR INTRODUCTION"

Oh! So that wasn't a dream. You went on a date with a skeleton. Now thinking back to yesterday's events. Going on a great date and getting to know a sweet guy. She wasn't sure how to feel about dating. It was unusual but she felt relieved to hear from him.

"Oh um no you're the only exception Blue. I don't hand it out like its candy. But anyway, what can I do for you." You grab your keys as you juggle around your things to head out. Looking over if you have everything you need while you grab your jacket.

Well, now you're not sure if he thinks of you as a floozy or something. You are not that kind of person. Heck, you're scared to give out your email address to cashiers to get membership cards! (It's a dangerous world out there. Stay safe kids)

"OH, SO ONLY THE MAGNIFICENT S-BLUE GOT YOUR NUMBER. I AM HONORED MILADY"

Aww, you were a sucker for chivalry.

"Of course sweetie! Oh, that reminds me! When could I give you back your jacket? I have it in my room, sorry it will probably smell girly.

"I WAS THINKING MAYBE YOU COULD COME OVER, WE COULD DO SOMETHING TOGETHER. I DON'T KNOW THE AREA, BUUUT YOU DO" He said " COULD I PICK YOU UP?"

"Hmm sure. Come around 1 I'll see you then. Oh I have to let you go, I have to go to work now"

He bides you goodbye. Before she could hang up, she could hear a faint yell YESSSS! followed by PAPY YOU LAZY BONES FEED LIAM.

You hung up with a chuckle. And sent him a quick text that you could text him your address during your break. You head into the back door of the bakery to greet your boss.

The Odin doesn't notice you until you pass him, he's singing showrooms again while working on Inventory. You quicken your pace to clock into work. Working on Saturday was a blessing when you know your fav co-worker was gonna help you out.

When you head into the kitchen, you see your buddy wolfy already done screening the bread and was now poofing it in the oven. Your glad your boss hired him to help out the bakery. The extra hands he brought did works for the place.

"I'm glad you're here with extra hands" you spoke as you saw him look up and nodded.

He must have gotten an early start at screening the dough. This was going to make work go twice as fast.

You place your apron on and got ready to work.

----

Blue dropped the phone. He was grinning ear to ear to finally hear from you. You felt like a dream, and he couldn't believe you accepted another date with him. He couldn't hold back his excitement any longer, to see you again. Wowie! This time he will impress you with all the handy dating advice from his manual.

His mind was only replaying yesterday's events over and over again. You were beautiful and kind and deserved to be treated by the best! (He will rise to the occasion for you). You lit up his world even if you didn't think so. He wondered who hurt your confidence?

He looked up at the clean house before him.

It was impossible for him to get a wink of sleep. So he stayed up and cleaned the house. And he made sure the place shined. Papy did stay to his word and got rid of all the balloons. Blue placed a pillow for Liam so he could fall asleep. What do balloons eat?

"Hey Sans, are you sure she agreed to a date?" Papy was stretching on the couch.

"You know there's a difference buddy"

"OF COURSE I KNOW! BUT NOW THAT I THINK OF IT, I SAID THE OTHER THING, DIDN'T I"

Papy slowly nodded at his brother. He wanted to help but he didn't trust this girl. So the GREAT mastermind he is, came up with a plan.

"Why not start the 'date' by making your special tacos and you two could game on the swish? You can play smash siblings! Or play Kibby galaxy friends"

Blue couldn't help but frown at his brother. He browsed over the pages in the manual.

"THAT'S LAZY! I WANT TO IMPRESS HER. BUT GREAT IDEA ON THE TACOS. OH, I CAN HAVE HER WORK WITH ME IN THE KITCHEN!"

Blue looked at the clock. He had a few hours to go grocery shopping and looking at recipes to try out. And grab some monster food for paps. This will be the best hangout you've ever had! Or his name wasn't the magnificent blue!!

~ time passed~

Blue looked at the address. Yup!

He knocked on the door. There was light shuffling before the door opened. You looked so cute! With a green flower dress and sunflowers on it.

"Milady, YOU LOOK AMAZING! READY TO GO ON OUR WAY" He offered his hand but you stayed quiet as you turned around to lock the door.

"Thank you, but you look better. I feel I should be more dressed for the occasion " her eyes would meet his gaze.

Blue shook his head softly grabbed her hand. "Your perfect"

He hoped he would get a positive reaction. Looking at his lady turning shy and squeezing his hand was all the permission he needed to lead her away. Undoubtedly this was going to be a great date that wasn't a date, date.

He opened her door and placed her inside as the Manuel asked. Once they were on the road, he passed her his phone.

"YOU CAN PICK A SONG. WE CAN TAKE TURNS ON WAY THERE"

-------------------------------------------

Y/n browsed over a few songs to finally settle into one.

My motivation is going to soon, good vibrations all over you,

Act as you mean it, you mean it,

You gotta story you never tell, down in the delta ringing bells,

I've never seen it, seen it

Back of my mind I'm on my way, I see through smiles on every face

I don't believe it, believe it

You always play this song whenever you can't fight off the nerves. The song builds up to the chorus. The song blasting off on this sunny day. You look to Blue who's humming along to the music. You could help but be happy about that. The song was so contagious you can't help but sing along to the chorus.

"I don't mind sentimental girls at times

Miss don't walk away, walk away

I don't mind sentimental girls at times

Miss don't walk away, whoa oh oh"

You don't stop until the end. The song always teleports you into your own little world. This was what you loved about the song. You barely notice Blue was starstruck. Until a faint wowzers was what you could hear that brought you back into reality. The song soon ended and you looked at Blue a bit embarrassed. ( Maybe if you pretend it didn't happen, then maybe he won't say anything)

He just looked at you with adoration and his eye lights brightened.

"MILADY, COULD YOU LOOK UP QUEEN ON MY PLAYLIST"

You nodded as you searched and found it. This man had great taste as you put the next song on. You weren't prepared for the sheer beauty you were about to witness.

"TONIGHT, I'M GONNA HAVE MYSELF A REAL GOOD

TIME…I FEEL ALIIIIVE

AND THE WOOOOOOORLD I'LL TURN IT INSIDE OUT. FLOATING AROUND IN ECSTASY!" Blue starts he looks at you with sheer confidence that no man could pull off. He turned to look at you as he whispered.

"So don't stop me now"

He had a mischievous toothy grin on his face, then turned back to the road, as he speeded the car once he started to sing the chorus on blast. And passing cars on the road. Speeding through the yellow lights, it felt like you were flying. You couldn't help but sing the second half of the song with him. Leaving everyone behind in the dust while you sang in harmony. Only blaming the adrenaline and the sweet song.

You made it to his house in record time. He seemed to live in a cute suburban neighborhood. Where the house looked identical. He guided you to his house. The only door that had a blue and orange bone hanging on the door.

------

Blue lead you into the kitchen already pumped to know you loved his singing. He knew you would but it made him happier to hear you sing along with him.

"I WAS THINKING TO MAKE TACOS FOR TODAY. AND WOULD LIKE YOU TO HELP, OH, I MADE SOME AHEAD OF TIME SO YOU COULD ENJOY A SNACK!"

He pulled out his signature friendship tacos. As any good relationship starts with a foundation of friendship and trust. Or so says his dating manual. The look of fear on your face was not what he was expecting.

"Um...you do know glitter is harmful to humans to eat, and why are they blue?" she added, grabbed one of the tacos to check the insides.

This was news to him! Chara always took a bit of his taco before they disappeared from the plate. He always thought the little human ate his food super fast. He didn't want to harm his future date mate. Since he plans to shower you with snuggles and kisses. He grabs his tacos and dumps them in the trash.

"I'M SORRY Y/N. I DIDN'T WANT TO HURT YOU IN ANYWAY. BUT I DID PLAN TO USE SOME RECIPES FROM THE UNDERNET"

The kind smile you had as you excused him was reassuring. He was confused to see you by their fridge in seconds. Plucking ingredients left and right from his fridge. "I was thinking, maybe we could use my family's recipe. You can say its in their blood" she passed him onions, peppers, and lettuce. "I hope you don't mind but it's good! I promise on my soul!"

She won him over with that promise. Also, how could he say no to you when your eyes twinkle with a passion. Anyone with that amount of passion must show it.

He lays the veggies on the cutting board.

"I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO TEACH ME THIS! I KNOW THIS WILL BE MAGNIFICENT MY DEAR !"

Oh stars, he's been slipping on calling you his before he could even pop the question. This needed to be addressed. He quickly turned to you to see if you were against it.

"Aww, that's sweet blue. But don't worry I'll help with the steps since we normally eyeball the amount in ingredients"

Hmm, she didn't deny him. He'll have to test the waters later. At the moment dicing the veggies into little strips was the plan for now.

He was amazed by the way you made your way around the kitchen. Gliding around to check on their salsa and making your way to him to see if the meat was seasoned enough. It was like having you perform live, and he was lucky to get front row seats for such an occasion. You truly were an amazing cook because the food smelled so mouth-watering. He didn't need to wait long as the food was ready to go. He checked the table as the serving station was ready. As there were lettuce, sour cream and a few things to help decorate the taco. (He threw all the harmful things once she listed them off that was inside his tacos)

"WOWZERS! THIS IS ENOUGH TO LAST FOR A WHILE." looking at the feast of food they had.

"Sorry about that. Kinda got carried away and forgot to cut the portion in half. This would be enough to feed my family of 5 back home"

His dear had a big family. This was a wonderful surprise. But it's hard to imagine, having so many people. What was that like for his lady? The only family he had would be his brother. There was no one, not after their father died in that lab accident. He could never remember the details without a mind splitting headache that would get in the way.

"Taco bout a big haul. Lettuce bask in the wonderful meal" came a voice by the door.

"PAPY! YOU ARE NOT TO SPREAD YOUR INFLUENCE HERE" Blue huffed in response.

He heard some chuckling by the stove. Of course, his lady would find it funny. Hopefully, she knows not to be baited by a simple pun. 

"They say I bring a lot to the table"

Papy chuckled at the response. Blue could only groan at the pun. Signaling the beginning of a bad thing. This was not what he planned.

"I KNEW I SHOULD KICK YOU OUT, PAPY STOP WITH YOUR SHENANIGANS! YOU ARE GOING TO CORRUPT HER TO THE DARK SIDE!" Blue didn't have the patience if both started to do a pun off. Papy could go for days. And he would have to live with his brother only speaking in puns. And you were his future date-mate, he couldn't have you go down papys level.

" I wouldn't do that to you brother, guac do you take me for?" Papy faking a look of hurt, as he made his way over to the table. Finding a seat between the two of you as filled his plate up with beans, rice, and other goodies.

Papy stuck his hand out to shake your hand.

"Hello, the names Percy but people call Papy" 

Blue couldn't prevent you from reaching your hand, only to come in contact with honey in his hand.

 "Sorry, bean meaning to wash my hands" papy looked at Blue, mouthing oops.

"UHHHH GET OUT! NO FOOD FOR YOU!"

His lady and Papy had to wash their hands after. Blue looked at his plate and started to fill it up too. He would have to deal with his brother's jokes after dinner. Who knows how far his brother is willing to go with his lazy puns.

It wasn't long before there was silence as everyone was digging into their food. The food was incredible! Were tacos suppose to taste soooo delicious!? He's been missing out on this wonderful delight. They tasted even better that they made them together. Fusing their passions to create such a magnificent dish! The more he gets to know you, it becomes clear to him that you're meant for each other. The chemistry was electric! Being in sync in the kitchen. Going around each other to help the other one out. He would love to have another chance to brush against you again. Sneaking a touch here and there while cooking. Oh sweet constellations, he hopes there's a next time.

-

Dinner was over. Blue was washing dishes while you helped by drying them. You volunteer your music to play while they finished up the last of the dishes. His brother Papy was setting up the game swish.

It was so much fun cooking together with him. Having the chance to taste of your family's special tacos always left you feeling up for a food coma. It also brought back nostalgia. This was fun! But was this a date? He hasn't made any moves on you since you arrived. Still... Blue didn't seem the type who would assume. She liked the guy but she wasn't ready for the responsibility of going steady with a guy.

"UM Y/N"

You turn to him.

"I ENJOYED YOUR COMPANY, AND I HOPE YOU LIKED MINE. IF IT'S TO YOUR LIKING, WOULD YOU CONSIDER SEEING EACH OTHER IN A MORE ROMANTIC SENSE?" He looked at you with his eye lights shrunken.

This took courage but she needed to be upfront with him. Blue deserved an honest response. The next few words filled you with guilt.

"I like you Serif it been a long time since I connected well with someone. But I can't, I'm sorry. I'm not ready to give my heart out yet, I've been hurt and I don't think I'll treat you the way you deserve" there's no telling if old feelings will resurface and affect your relationship with him. It's better to overcome it by herself and not drag someone whose more put together than she is.

You noticed his eye lights dimmer a bit but his stars grew to normal size. A slow song started up.

"I WANT TO PROTECT YOU, MY LADY! I HAVE TONS OF HOPE TO SHARE FOR THE BOTH OF US! PLEASE GIVE ME A CHANCE TO SHOW YOU. A WEEK! OF ACTUAL DATES, I KNOW I CAN MAKE YOU THE HAPPIEST MATE!" He looked at you with renewed determination. His eyes were like shooting stars. Just like last night.

"J..just a week right. And what if the week is up and I don't change my mind?"

Blue smiled remained unwavering.

"THEN I'LL WAIT FOR YOU! AND ASK YOU AGAIN"

This guy just didn't know what dangerous power he was offering. Hope. Something that was lost to you over time. You could make out the word please leave his mouth. For once you listened to your heart. If he could make traveling fun, what couldn't he do? Also, his upbeat personality just so happened to sweetened the deal.

"Blue...You have one week to get me to change my mind" as you accepted his hand.

You placed your hand up but Blue was much quicker and pulled you into a hug. His magic engulfed you with a sense of tranquility. He whispers into your ear.

"You don't know what this means to me. You just offered me something precious, You "
