Happy Halloween! 🎃✨

Have some Art of Papyrus realizing his feelings. 👀

-----------------------------

You got out of the bath and dried yourself with the towels that were already laid out for you. You put the wet clothes that were on the floor into the laundry basket... why? You don't know but you didn't want to just leave your old clothes on the floor. You then dressed yourself in the clothes Papyrus had provided you with and... it actually looked good on you. It didn't show any of the bruises... which was actually only the criteria you held when picking out clothes. Summer clothes were hard to decide on but you managed. Perhaps when your bruises healed you could-... right, you wouldn't be able to as your Soul would be consumed soon. Bummer.

Your hair was a mess but you noticed a hairbrush... why did a skeleton own a hair brush!? Whatever, it doesn't matter. You brushed your unkempt hair and now you were finally ready to give up your Soul. Not that you really had a choice in the matter now. Maybe you shouldn't have taken the bet and let yourself just be stuck here without having to give your Soul up and annoy Papyrus for eternity. Or well til you died. Of old age. You exited the bathroom... would the key still be in the keyhole? Maybe you could... just sneak yourself out? You looked at the direction of the kitchen but it didn't look like Papyrus knew you were finished with bathing. You silently made your way towards the storage closet but abruptly blue smoke appeared and there stood Duster once again... blocking your path.

"Don't think so Sweetheart" Duster smiled, did he call you... ugh, what were these nicknames they gave you!? "Ya really don't like my brother that much?" He suddenly asked... sure you had liked Papyrus a lot until he actively tried to steal your entire Soul! You had even offered half without any fuss! "That's not the problem! He'll eat my Soul!" You scoffed but at that Duster almost froze up. Oh yeah, he might have not known you knew that they ate Souls... well you didn't know if Duster did but it was a high possibility.

"You-... pfft! That's-... hmmm... you don't have to worry about him eating your Soul... I'd be more concerned with him wanting to-" He looked very amused but didn't finish his sentence before glancing behind you. So Papyrus didn't want your Soul to eat!? Then why would he want to-! "Welp, you'll soon see what I mean" Duster quickly vanished once again and right after you could hear some footsteps, you quickly made your way back, you didn't want him to catch onto the fact you had wanted to check the storage closet for a way out.

"Y/N? YOU ARE FINISHED, YES?" You managed to get back just in time as Papyrus noticed you. "Um, yes!" You made it look as if you had just come out of the bathroom. "ARE YOU FEELING ANY WARMER?" He stepped closer to you, he was almost menacing in the way he stalked closer to you... or it could be perhaps you thought of him as quite dangerous now. Not that you didn't previously but now it was staring you right in the face. "Sure am" You were indeed warmer than you had previously been and the clothes he had given you really helped in keeping it that way.
