His Choice (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 6 - Reunited

 "While I'm always happy to have a visit from you, why so sudden?"

Blueprint looked up at the other skeletal monster, fidgeting with the mug in his hands. He found it slightly soothing feeling the warmth from the mug rubbing against his finger tips. "Oh, uhm.. I just haven't seen you in a while and wanted to come visit," Blueprint said through a raspy voice, his throat strained from crying.

Swap gently rubbed the back of Blueprint's head, a frown spreading across his features. "Are you sure, Printy? When you came here you looked like you had been crying your eyelights out," Swap reminded gently, his voice filled with concern.

Blueprint nodded, "Don't worry, dad, I'm alright."

Swap furrowed his brow as a thought crossed his mind, "Did something happen with your boyfriend?" Swap asked quietly. He didn't want to assume anything, but he's always had a bad feeling about Cayden since he and Blueprint first started dating, but he just excused it as being worried about Blueprint and never said anything since he didn't want to upset anyone, especially Blueprint. Not to mention Cayden always seemed a bit too touchy for Blueprint's liking, at least that's what it looked like to Swap.

Blueprint froze up, his grip slightly tightening on the mug in his hands. He took a few moments to think about how to answer before replying, "There's just been a lot going on and I need a break from everything. And I'm sorry again for showing up unannounced."

Swap sat down next to Blueprint and pulled him into a gentle hug, "Don't worry about it, Printy, you're always welcome here whenever you need," he said softly. Blueprint quietly nodded and gently leaned into Swap, his eyes closing as he relaxed against him. Swap smiled and wrapped his arm around Blueprint, pulling him close. Swap smiled, "Now, wanna go get some food from Muffet's and watch a movie to relax? And I'm pretty sure your uncle Paps is still over there so you can say hi to him while we're there if you'd like."

Blueprint nodded, a soft smile spreading across his face at the mention of Muffet's food and getting to see his uncle again, "Yeah, that sounds great, dad."

A small bell rang as the door to the bakery was opened and closed, Swap having stepped inside with Blueprint close behind. Muffet looked up from behind the counter and smiled warmly at them, walking over to Papyrus and drawing the tall skeleton's attention towards the two newcomers. Once Papyrus' eyes landed on his brother and nephew, his face immediately lit up as he quickly got up and casually strided over to them, "Hey, Sans," He greeted his brother before turning to the smaller skeleton, "it's good to see you again, Blueprint, how've you been?"

Blueprint smiled softly, "I've been good, how have you been?" He asked as he hugged Papyrus.

Papyrus grinned, hugging his nephew back, "It's been quite bonely without you, other than that I've been trying to keep track of your hyperactive dad, so in other words I've been good."

Blueprint giggled softly as Swap crossed his arms, "I'm not that hyperactive!" He huffed.

Papyrus smiled and rubbed the top of Blueprint's head, "What brings you back to this neighbourhood?"

Blueprint shrugged, "Just wanted to visit again," he responded

Papyrus nodded, "Well, we're always happy to see you again, even if it's out of the blue," he chuckled. Blueprint giggled quietly as him, Papyrus, and Swap went and sat down together.

Print let out a soft sigh as he entered his old bedroom, looking around everything was just as he had left it. His desk was still cluttered with papers and unfinished drawings, his bed was made neatly with his old plushies crowding where his pillows were, his dresser still had the lava lamp that kept his room lit up at night but has since just collected dust, and his light blue walls were still covered in fairy lights and pictures of him and his friends from when they were younger. A nostalgic smile made its way across his face as he crossed his room and sat on his bed, it still creaking quietly as he did. He laid back and let the mound of meticulously placed plushies fall over him. After a little while of laying there with his childhood friends, Blueprint sat up and set all the plushies against the side of his bed that was against the wall. Blueprint perked up at the sound of knocking on his door, causing him to call out, "Come in!"
