The morning after

Fun fact - The draft title for this oneshot was 'A$$'

I had no idea where I was going with this one-

It was an odd thing for Red, waking up with no trouble and disturbance, no booming voice commanding him to get up, no antagonizing voice in his head reminding him how worthless he was. Just silence. Calm silence.

It was defiantly something he could get used to.

Red's eyes slowly opened, adjusting to the room's limiting light. The sight was nothing new at first, the same messy room he had grown accustomed to for most of his life. Though, there was one slight change, a change that comes and goes as they please, a change that was currently snuggled against Red's chest.

Red was surprised to see Blue still asleep, sleeping peacefully beside him. Blue currently had his skull resting on Red's chest with one arm wrapped around the front of Red's ribs. It was a rather rare occasion where Red was the first to wake up whenever they decided to spend the night together. This was due to the fact Blue was the morning person out of the two. In all honesty, Red relishes the times when this happens, enjoying seeing the other at their most calm and vulnerable state. Blue's facial features look so soft even though in reality it is the total opposite. Call him creepy for staring, he couldn't give a flying fuck.

Sadly, the moment didn't last long though as soon Blue began to show signs of waking up. The smaller skeleton shifted slightly in their shared embrace before yawning softly and slowly opening his eyes. As soon as Blue looked up at Red, he smiled softly.

Blue might smile a lot, but every time it does, it affects Red the same. Deep down in his dull and damaged soul, he feels this warm weightlessness that he has yet to get used to.

"Good morning Red," Blue greeted with a soft tired tone, "Sleep well?"

At first, Red only replied with a simple nod, but then after a few seconds of silence, he said, "I almost always sleep well when you're around. You're like a living good luck charm."

Blue let out a silent small laugh at Red's comment, "Glad I can be of assistance."

The both of them stayed like this for a while, just enjoying each other's company. Red silently wishes that he could stay in this calm aura forever, but of course, all good things have to end eventually.

After a little while, Blue removed himself from the embrace and sat up, stretching in the process. This sudden movement caused the blanket that covered them both to move, revealing their bare bodies to the room. Red grumbled in annoyance at this change, raising his hands to rub at his eye sockets. Once he removed his hands from his face, Red took a moment to properly look at Blue, particularly around his neck to ribs area. Red gritted his sharp teeth as he inspected the damage.

A thing to know about Red, he was a marker when it came to intimacy with his significant other. He liked others to know that Blue was his and his only and Blue was okay with that, as long as he could hide it from his brother as Stretch still wasn't 100% okay with their relationship. It had seemed that, from the previous night, he had gotten a bit too carried away than what he usually does. Red normally only leaves a few marks around his neck and shoulder blades, but this time, Blue's ribs were scattered with bruises and light bites. He felt a rush of guilt through his soul.

Blue, on the other hand, seemed to act completely fine, barely taking any notice of the new temporary marks on his bones. Instead, he sighed contently, "I would love to stay in bed with you all day, Red, but I do have some things to do, including some training with Alphys," He stated softly, looking over at Red again. When he looked over, he saw the guilty look on Red's face. Blue tilted his head slightly until he looked where Red was currently looking.

Blue sighed and looked at Red again with a comforting smile, "You know I don't mind about that."

Red looked down and sighed, "I know... It's just... a bit much... I'm-"

Blue cut him off, "You don't need to apologise, I'm perfectly fine. I'm not fragile, you know," He giggled softly, "I would have stopped you if I wasn't enjoying myself."

Red knew that, but he still felt bad.

"Come on, I've still got some time to spend with you, why don't we go and have some breakfast?" Blue suggested with such kindness. It was every day where Red had asked the same question to himself: What had he done to deserve Blue?

"Yeah, we can do that..." Red replied, sitting up himself.

Blue smiled more, "Great!" He leaned closer to Red and kissed him on the cheekbone, causing a red blush to dust his cheekbones lightly. Blue then got out of the covers, hopping off the mattress and began to look for his clothes that were scattered somewhere on the floor, "Really wished we folded them up and put them somewhere else..." He could hear Blue mutter.

Red chuckled quietly at Blue's little mutter. Blue was such a clean freak. He could understand why Blue said that though, the floor was currently covered with his own discarded clothes from previous other days, possibly weeks.

Red soon made himself also get up from his bed, stretching a little. He stood up and began to take random things from the floor to wear. They all looked around the same to him, the same red and black clothes he wore every day. He grabbed a shirt and shorts and sluggishly put them on. He then went on the search for...

...

Where's his jacket...?

It didn't seem to be anywhere on the floor... Was it downstairs somewhere? No, he remembered taking it off here last night.

After a few more moments, he looked at Blue, "Sweatheart, do you know where-"

He stopped.

"Hmm?" Blue hummed, looking back at Red, wearing Red's jacket. 

Blue had Red's jacket on. He was wearing Red's jacket.

"-Where my jacket is..."

It wasn't even a question anymore, he could clearly see where it was. And damn did he have to admit that Blue looked incredibly hot in it.

They just looked at each other for a few seconds before Blue finally spoke up.

"Mweh heh... Hope you don't mind, it looked comfy and I thought maybe I could wear it until I left...?" Blue had asked before frowning and looking down, "Sorry for taking it without asking, I know how much this jacket means to you... I'll take it off if you want it back..." He began to take the jacket off.

"No..." Red said quickly without thinking, getting Blue's attention as he stopped what he was doing, "It's fine, keep it on... It looks good on you."

Blue blushed and giggled softly, "Okay!" He then rushed over to Red and gave him a big hug, "Love you, Red..."

Red chuckled softly and kissed Blue's forehead, "Love you too, angel."

If this was how Red was going to wake up every morning in the future, maybe he doesn't have as much of a crappy life as he first thought. As long as Blue was at his side, what did he have to be unhappy about?

~~~~~

Holy crap I actually finished writing something...

This was at like 500 words for several months and, for some reason, I got into a productive mood and just spewed out more than double the words...

I is proud.

Don't worry, I'm still writing, I just haven't been as motivated as I used to.

I've also got a smut draft to start, damn.

Hope you enjoyed??
