☆Bullies Are The Worst- Gaster & Papyrus

Plot: Papyrus is getting bullied at school and attempts to hide if from both his dad and brother, but when Papyrus comes home crying and hurt, Gaster won't sit by and let his son suffer

A/N: Because I am placing Papyrus and his friends in middle school, Mettaton will be known as Happstablook. I think that he didn't begin his transformation into Mettaton until the end of high school, so that's my reasoning

⚠️TW: Bullying⚠️

~☆~

Since school had started, Papyrus had no trouble making a great deal of friends such as Happstablook and Napstablook, and even befriended some of his brothers friends like Alphys and Undyne. But with those friends came a great deal of other people.

Most found him annoying and ignored him and some decided to take things a step further as to bully the boy. For a few years they were rather tame with the name calling and such, but once Papyrus entered middle school things took a drastic turn. They began to go as far as insulting Papyrus and his family, threatening his friends, and now began to get more violent than the occasional shove in the hallway.

Sans and Gaster were always busy, making Papyrus feel like he couldn't turn to them with his problems. Happstablook and Napstablook were always there when Papyrus was getting bullied, but they were just as afraid as Papyrus when it came to possibly getting into trouble. Besides, Papyrus had told them to not get involved in case of them getting bullied too or possibly making things worse. Overall, this ended up in Papyrus feeling more alone than ever.

Now here he was, walking down the hallway after the final bell had rang with Happstablook and Napstablook. Their lockers were right next to each other, which made things a little better for hanging out purposes.

"I-I'll be right b-back Happ, I have to r-return this book I borrowed," Napstablook said, timid as ever. Happstablook nodded and said that he'd meet up with him in the library after this, which marked the end of that conversation once Napstablook floated down the hallway.

"Oh shoot, I left my pencil case in the classroom. I'll be right back, Papy!" Happstablook said, leaving shortly after.

Just as Papyrus had finished putting his last book in his backpack, he felt a sharp pain in his ribcage as he got shoved harshly into his now closed locker. He tried to push himself off of the floor with shakey arms, but he was grabbed and turned around quickly to face his bullies.

They were a group of three, and despite the fact that Papyrus had been bullied by them for years, he never got their names. Sometimes he assumed that they didn't truly know his either considering that they always called him names like Boney Boy and Dumbass Skeleton. They weren't very creative is what Happstablook had told him.

Still, despite the fact that he was in a bit of pain from the shove and the ring leaders death grip on his shoulder, he still smiled brightly at them.

"Greetings! Is there something you all need?" He asked politely, though flinching at the harshness of the response he received.

"Yeah, we do. What is it we needed?" The ring leader asked, looking back at the two behind him.

The girl, who Papyrus was told is the ring leaders girlfriend, responded to him, "oh yeah, we needed you to just die!" Papyrus felt tears spring to life in his eye sockets. They had never said that to him before.

"And if you don't want to, then we'll help you with that," the third child said, cracking their knuckles.

Papyrus swallowed the lump in his throat, backing up as far as he could into the lockers once he was released. Once he realized that he couldn't back up any further, he attempted to run in the direction of his teachers classroom, but was grabbed again and shoved into the locker once more.
