Hybridtale (Papyrus X Reader)

Due Date

Papyrus seemed ingrossed in the paper. You didn't know why, your writing wasn't all that good.. You hadn't had a chance to tell Papyrus about the other night, mostly because it was a blur and your head still kinda hurt. You'd come so close to petting him.. the skeleton dog.. thing. Was his bones smooth to the touch? Were there others like him? "THIS IT AMAZING, [Y/N]! ALL THE INFORMATION GOES TOGETHER SMOOTHLY, AND THE TRANSITIONS ARE TOP OF THE LINE- are you ok? Does your head hurt?" You snapped out of your thoughts, blushing at his compliments and genuine worry. "I'm ok.. it's just a headache.." He shifted over to be behind you. "Hold still, I can make it feel better." You were blushing more. Mostly because you've never heard him use this tone of voice. "O-ok. How?"
"HEALING MAGIC OF COURSE! WHERE DID YOU GET THIS BUMP ON YOUR HEAD ANYWAY?" Well, that was great timing. "Uh.. a skeleton dog wolf thing? Not entirely sure, but he was sniffing around my house and I scared him. It was complete accident. Besides! He saved me from being mugged a few weeks prior, so I'd say we're even. Er, sorry if that sounds crazy.." You saw him shake his head from your peripheral vision. "Not at all. I'm glad he could help out.. and that you don't blame him for what happened."

You handed the project over to your professor. He hummed in thought while reading it, you and Papyrus shared a nervous glance. The professor cleared his throat and you both gave him your full attention. "I.. have alot of things to say on this." Oh stars, here we go. "Your transitions were good, the paper detailed, and your perspective on werewolves unique. This is probably one of the best projects I've read." He concluded. Wait what- "You pass."
"Yes!"
"YES!" Papyrus and I hugged each other tightly. Stars, for a skeleton he sure was comfortable. And his scarf- you buried your face in it, said skeleton becoming a blushing mess. He didn't want to let go. He wanted to hold you close forever, but he knew that he couldn't. When you realized what you were doing, you pulled away. "S-sorry!" You squeaked. "Um.. it's fine.. it was.. nice." You blushed heavily.

You were still thinking about Papyrus' words as you made dinner for your family. It was nice. Did.. did Papyrus like you? Maybe you were thinking to much into it. You needed a distraction. You looked over to Kyle and grinned. Perfect. You loved Kyle, but teasing him about his own love life.. you just couldn't help it. After eating you made a mad dash for Kyle's room. "[Y/N]! DON'T YOU DARE!"
"THEN TELL ME ABOUT HIM!"
"NEVER- wait what? That all?"
"Yep.." He followed you to the hallway. "His name is.. funnyskeleton17. I don't know what his real name is yet. He's hot, funny, sweet, very protective of his brother, and smart." You smiled. "He sounds great." Kyle tilted his head, frowning a little. "What's this really about?"
"A guy.. a guy I like.. I hugged him today.. and he called it nice.."
"Dude! That's great! It means he likes you back!" He punched your arm. "You.. think so..?" You asked. "Positive! Ask him out!"

"I think I like her.."
"yeah.. i noticed."
"You.. you did?"
"yep. it's hard not to. you get real protective of her. if she's the one, you should ask her out."
"You think?"
"i know." I jumped up, eyelights sparkling with determination. "ALRIGHT! TOMORROW I SHALL ASK [Y/N] OUT ON THE MOST MAGNIFICENT DATE!"
"oh boy. this outta be great."
"FRISK KNOWS HOW WONDERFUL MY DATES ARE!"
"well i was thinking you'd do something a little different, but to each their own."
"[Y/N] SAID SOMETHING ABOUT YOU HAVING A BOYFRIEND? HAVE YOU BEEN ON A DATE?"
"never met in person. kyle and i have been on a date though. i took him to grillby's and he at at home. 'shared' a glass of wine too."
"HUH.."

Your POV

Should I dress nice? Should I dress casual? Makeup? No? What should I say? Should I be upfront about it? Should I make small talk first? I sighed. I was thinking to hard on it. Just be yourself. Casual yet pretty. No makeup. Do what comes naturally.

Hey Papyrus can we meet at the park?

I WAS GOING TO ASK THE SAME, ACTUALLY! OF COURSE!

You got ready to go and took off. You were nervous and excited. What if he said yes? What if he said no? Before you knew it, you were at the park, the proud, adorable skeleton waiting. Oddly enough he was wearing something new. Blue shorts, a white T-shirt with COOL DUDE on it, basketball looking shoulder pads, and a red cap. It suited him oddly well. "Hey Papyrus, how are you doi-"
"[Y/N] would you go on a date with me?" You blinked. "How did you know?!" Papyrus tilted his head. "What?"
"How did you know I was going to ask you on a date!?"
"Y-you were..? THEN WE'RE IN AGREEMENT!"
"I guess so. Let's go on a date."
