• ~ • ~ • ~ •

"BROTHERS! IM BACK!!" Papyrus happily said while knocking on the door. The door opened greeted with a delicious smell "OOHH! WHAT'S THIS? HAVE YOU ALREADY COOKED DINNER SANS?" Classic let out a small chuckle  "yep, and red here got scared by a cucumber-"  "i said that caught me off guard!!" Classic laugh at this as Red blush, angrily pouting at him. Papyrus enters the house, placing his bag down the chair.
"NO NEED TO FEEL EMBARRASSED RED! GETTING SCARED IS VERY NORMAL FOR A CAT!"  
"that made it much worst.."
"AND ALSO, I AM VERY HUNGRY, SO I WILL EAT NOW. HAVE YOU TWO ATE YET?"
The short skeletons shook their head "kinda rude calling us short but eh, whatever" Author clears her throat, hiding her smile.
"WHO ARE YOU TALKING TO SANS?"
"oh, uh, no one..?" Red glared at him since he didn't want to say the same dialogue 10 times because of his silly mistakes. In return, Classic smiled at him apologetically "ANYWAY, WE SHOULD EAT NOW! TOMORROW THE GREAT PAPYRUS WILL BE ON WORK, PROTECTING AND SAVING THOSE WHO IS IN NEED!" Papyrus proudly posed with a big smile plastered on his face making his brother chuckle.

After they ate, they all went to bed. Classic remembered Red staying here, which made him remember he has something to say to him too. Red was just sitting on the couch, trying to pull his red collar off him "hey red" Red stopped what he was doing and turned to face him "uh, remember when i said ya can stay here?" Red's face filled with worry. Did he change his mind? Was he bothering him? Was he going to be kicked out? Did he do something? Is he mad? His thoughts were cut off by his voice "y..yeah, why?" Classic walked near him, sitting down next to him. Red moved away, keeping distance "well, ya still need to help around here somehow, so i uh, called grillbys so you can work with me, is that ok with ya?" Red slowly calms down, he needs to stop worrying too much, its not good for him "..yeah im ok with that" 
"great! well, ya can go continue sleepin' on my bed, heh, im gettin' a little sleepy too.." He let out a soft yawn "and where would ya sleep?"
"i think i have a spare mattress under my bed... i'll just go sleep there-"
"yeah no, this is yer house so ya should be sleepin' on yer bed classic"
"nah, it's fine-"
"nope, i insist" Classic chuckled a little "oook then.." Both stand up and walked upstairs, to Classic's bedroom. He opened the door and looked under his bed "oh, there it is..." He pulled a decent-looking mattress and placed it beside his bed, and gave him a pillow and a blanket "th-thanks.."  "no problem 'bud" Red took his jacket off and placed it on the floor next to him. His ears and tail wiggled freely "hey red?" Red lies down on his bed "yeah?" Classic lies down too, his chest facing the bed "can i touch your ears?" He immediately said "h3ll no"  "heheh, i knew it" Red quietly grumbled, guilt crawling up to him. Classic has been so kind to him and all he does is be cold towards him "alright fine, ya can touch.." Classic shook his head "hey, im not forcin' ya" 
"im not forcin' myself either"
"ya sure..?"
"yep" Classic sat down next to him. He lifted his hand and softly touched his ears, the other one, flinching a little 'it's so soft..' Yes, Classic was waiting for this moment to arrive. Funny as that sounds, he was feeling happy and something else.... "aww, you're so cute~" A bright surprised blush appeared on the Neko's face "th-the h3ll? i ain't cute, im a scary freakin' monster!" Classic smirked "hey, who said monsters can't be cute?" playfully rolling his eye lights, Red chuckled at this "heheh, that sounds so dumb.."  Classic has a content smile on his face, hearing Red chuckle made him feel so... happy? pleased? Like, he feels happy warm and all fuzzy inside.."hey, you alright?" Classic looked up, his smile grew "totally" A foreign feeling unfolded inside his chest "you're just being really cute right now" Red's blush grew, he looked away, feeling embarrassed "tch, you're such a weirdo"  "heheh~" Classic gently placed both his hands on his cheeks, calling out "hey.." The lack of personal space made Red feel slightly uncomfortable, his eye lights on the side "wh-what?"  "why can't ya look at me in the eye sockets 'bud?"  
"uh..cuz i don't want to?"
"why?"
"the h3ll do you mean why?"
"are ya scared or something?"
"im.. im not! i can do it, see?-" Red summons all the courage and looked at him, red-eye lights met white ones. Both are speechless. The moon casting light rays through the room, as both stared at each other's eyes quietly. The longer Classic stares, the stronger the feeling grows. He realized this was the first time he ever looked at him in the eyes, actually the first time he ever looked at someone's eyes, he wonders why he never does that. He wants him to be his friend, he wants him to unravel his mystery, he wants to help him because he seems like he's been through-going through a lot right now. Heh, he really cares for him huh? Red's blush grew, seems like he snapped out of it making Classic faked a cough, letting go of his cheeks. Awkward. "w-well, i guess ya can look someone in the eyes" Red scoffed at this "of course i can! i ain't a scaredy-cat" Chuckles "heheh, welp, it's gettin' late, we better sleep now" He went back to his own bed, leaving Red on the mattress.
