Your Odd Neighbor (Horror Sans x Reader)

Chapter 9- Cute and Awkward

(~Your POV + Time Skip 11 PM~)

Turning off the tv for the night, I stretch myself out with a long yawn. Honey fell asleep while watching movies, which I definitely expected. Blue's still sleeping too, staying close to enjoy his brother's warmth.

'Looks so cozy! Wish I could join, lol.'

I hear a familiar voice mumble, "Hey." Spooking me, I turn to the source. Horror is standing in the divider doorway that connects the two apartments, peeking in. I smirk, "Hi. Did you enjoy your nap? Do you feel better? It's late and yet I always find you up at this time. Heh.. You're quite the night owl, y'know that?"

He breaks eye contact, nervously avoiding the topics, "I didn't know where Blue went. I was coming to get him." I reply with a small smile, "Yeah, he's here. So is Papyrus." I point at the two snuggle bugs beside me.

"Well yeah, I can see that now." Horror grumbles, pulling his hood over his head and messing with the fluff on the rim. Before I can ask him anything else, he suddenly throws something to me out of nowhere. I shriek, catching it midair before it hit my face. It's my jacket, the one I lent to him earlier.

"O-Oh. Thank you." We both sit in an awkward silence for a while. Horror sighs, rolling his eye, "Well.. I'm going back to bed-" I stand up, rushing over to the door, "Wait..! Hold on."

Horror pauses, staring at me with a blank expression from the darkness of his hood. All my anxiety returns, sTiLL not used to his glare.

'I don't know what it is! Is it a normal thing for him or what?'

I end up stammering, grabbing at my arms to keep them from shaking, "I got you something. You j-just woke up so that means y-you must be hungry, r-r-right? Why don't you have a midnight snack? O-Or if not now, y-you can save it for later."

"Mk. Why don't we go hang out in Blue's place so we don't wake them?" He turns around, going back into Blue's apartment side.

'Oh- he wants to hang out. I guess it's okay.'

I hurry myself over to my fridge and grab the paper bag out from earlier. Then, I go into Blue's apartment as well. I make sure to close the divider's door, that way we don't disturb the swap bros.

'It's late.. I can't really stay for long anyway. We have work in the morning.'

Horror sits on Blue's couch, getting comfy and laying back against the arm. I approach him, quickly placing the bag in between us as I sit down.

Horror looks at in curiosity, arching an eyebrow. I smirk, assuming he must've forgotten our conversation earlier. Or he didn't take me seriously.

"What's- ...." Something clicks, like his mind suddenly went on reboot. He immediately reaches into the bag. Once he pulls out the small plastic container and sees the cake, his pupil shrinks in shock, "You.. You actually got some." "Pff- I had to keep my promise! You liked it, didn't you?"

He smiles, rubbing one hand on his skull in disbelief, "Yeah.. Thanks, Y/N. Ya didn't have to." "Of course I did. Hanging out at the mall was my idea and you didn't enjoy yourself.. That's my fault, so getting this was the least I could do." I say, rubbing my arms to calm my nerves and guilt.

"What are ya talking about? It wasn't a complete waste. I really enjoyed our time together.... Sweetcakes." I swear my cheeks turned fully red within the second.

'WaS he sERiOus abOut tHaT niCknAme?! Oh mY goD nO-'

I cover over my face with my hands, trying to calm my racing thoughts. Horror lets out a loud laugh, "What? I thought it was cute. It fits you."

'PRACTICALLY HE JUST CALLED ME
CUTE- HORROR! MY GOSH, WHAT?! AAAHHHH'

I let out a quiet whine, "Oh come on Horror. You can't be serious.." He smiles, "I forgot to tell ya earlier. You looked really nice today."

Dying blushing from my mind going on meltdown mode, I have no choice but to turn away from him completely. "WeLL, yoU diD too. All of us dressed up."

"You don't do well with compliments, y'know that?" He mocks me, chuckling. "Oh shush, you freaked out when I complimented your outfit too." "Ya sure? Sounded like you were flirting to me."

'F-FliRTinG?!'

Now that I think about it, I called him tasty. I feel like strangling myself.

"I mEan, THaT waS suPpoSed to be a PuN..." I clearly my throat, my voice going into a soft mumble, "But I could see why you misinterpreted it into something else."

"Oh...." Horror chuckles, hindered and almost forced, "S-Sorry Y/N. I-.. Heh.. Yeah, I guess I did.."

'DaNG iT! Y/N, YOU RUIN EVERYTHING!'

The next few minutes were the most painful and awkward moments of my entire life. I don't know what to tell him. "I, um-.. I'm sorry. I should go.." I say, standing up and taking a glance at my phone. It's close to 12 AM now.

When I turn back to glance at Horror, his face has a bright red glow. Yet, he looks upset, embarrassed, and maybe even disappointed. So am I, being brutally honest. Still, I'm mad at myself, not at him.

I take a deep breath in, getting over my nervousness and hugging him, "Goodnight Horror." "Night... Wait- what about the other two?"

I laugh, stepping back, "They're on the couch so it's fine. Enjoy the cake, okay? See ya!" Horror gives me a little smirk and wave, "See ya..."

'He'll probably never talk to me again after what happened tonight..... Why'd I have to embarrass him like that?!'

I walk across the living room and open the divider door. Once I open it, Horror shouts, "Y/N, wait!" I flinch and turn back to Horror. He's pulled his hood over his face completely. I giggle and tilt my head, "Yes Horror?"

"Let.. Let me take you somewhere for lunch tomorrow." A wide smile forms on my face, loving how adorable he is. I can already feel butterflies in my stomach, tickling me.

'... I shouldn't though.... Heck.'

My smile fades as I try to explain, "I'm sorry but I spent a lot today and I think I shouldn't be-" "Nah. Don't worry about it, Y/N. It's on me this time." He reveals his face a little, blushing a bit with a bright smile.

'OH mY goD- My heart can't take this!'

I smile again, "Okay, if you insist. Pick the time and place, I'll pick ya up on my lunch break. Sounds good?" "Yeah. See ya Sweetcakes!"

I start laughing, going back into my apartment, "Seriously?! Is that my new name now? You're the one that likes the cake in the first place!" Horror laughs too as I close the door behind me.

'Looks like I get to hang out with him more after all.'

I close the door and stand there a moment, registering everything that just happened. My heart goes completely ecstatic and I'm not even sure why. I hold myself in a tight hug and smile, trying not to giggle and squeal like a child.

'YES!!!! OH mY gOsHhhH!'
