UNDERTALE ( Male reader)

Chapter 12: Protective

With the few minutes you got here, you know that this place is not as kind as yours. The smell of dust was carried in the air, tho only you could smell it apparently. Just the atmosphere makes you want to curl into Sans and protect him from any danger that could come across. You were also restless as Papyrus has been away for quite a while, for you at least, it's only been about 20 minutes actually.

The smell of dust is actually annoying now, it even covers Sans scent although he's already close to you.

Then suddenly you heard footsteps in the distance. Due to the smell of dust, you can't identify the scent of the monster and it put you on guard. Immediately, you latch yourself on Sans, hugging him in a protective manner. You let out a low growl at the direction of where the footsteps are.

Seconds later, Papyrus came to view. With hands on his hip bones and head held up high. Your tense figure immediately vanished and you let go of Sans. It seemed Sans was still in a daze at your sudden actions and wasn't able to function until he heard the sound of his brother's proud declaration of finishing up the recalibration of his traps.

Papyrus led all of you home as he boasted about being part of the royal guard to you. You stared at him with pure admiration. If Red Papyrus got into the royal guard, then surely your Papyrus will get in someday too!

In the middle of walking tho, as you neared the Snowdin town, both brothers demure changed quickly into a fierce and cold one. Sans took out a pair of handcuffs from his hoodie pocket and gave it to Papyrus who immediately took it and put it on you.

You immediately get what was happening and didn't resist, instead you pretended to be a captured criminal, or something like that.

Honestly, you're to cute to be a criminal. But I guess cuteness is a crime if you know what I mean --

Ahem.

Monsters were starting at Papyrus with admiration and fear. Some already raising away from the tall skeleton. Huh. You guess Papyrus has quite the reputation in this underground.

As you all neared the house, Papyrus turned around and cast a cold glare at the monsters around, causing them to scatter. Sans immediately carried you inside and Papyrus locked the door.

Their demure came back as there are no more monsters to disturb them. Sans went to take off the metal cuffs on your hands and Papyrus neared the both of you.

They didn't need to explain anything about this world to you. It's all already very clear for you. With just their actions and display of authority, you already know the condition of this world. You just hope that they didn't get to starve like them.

You held Sans' phalanges in your warm hands and pulled him close to you. Sans was startled by this and tried to escape your hold but stopped as he felt you nuzzle against him as if expressing your worries. He didn't even notice how his brother got dragged in the hug as well.

You looked up at Papyrus.

" M/n! "

Papyrus blinked.

"... WHAT?"

Sans sighed and shuffled in a comfortable position on your hold.

" his name."

" OH."

There was something about you that drew them close, as if in a trance. They feel that they could trust you and tell you anything, or do anything, good or bad or worse. And you'd still side with them.

It was a comfortable thought, but not a normal thought you feel for someone you just met. Both of them understood that.

At night, all of you slept in the same bed at Papyrus' room. This feels nostalgic, you thought. The heavy night loons on all of you. You felt that they were still in guard even when asleep, it broke your heart to see them struggle to sleep peacefully, afraid of something bad is gonna happen to the other if they are not aware of the threats.
