You and Your Bitty Pals

Chapter 2 Page 19

---(Y/N) P.O.V--

  As I moved away, I couldn't help but glance back to see Papyrus playfully shaking his head while Sans gave me a cheeky grin. I continued my rounds, checking on customers and ensuring everything ran smoothly. The bitty shop was busier than usual, and I was grateful for the vibrant energy that filled the air, yet I still felt a tad nervous. I worked until it was time for my lunch break, I quickly went to the playpen and gently picked up Papyrus and Boss. Sans and Red both teleported onto my head. We head to the lunch break room and I place my tiny friends down on the table as I grab part of my lunch from the fridge and place it on the table. I then head to the locker room and grab a brown paper bag. I walk out and see Papyrus already handing out the saran-wrapped finger sandwiches to his brother and his friends. "Thanks, Papyrus, much appreciated." I say with a warm smile as I walk towards them and sit down in a chair. I put down the brown paper bag, as Papyrus pushes my sandwich towards me. I chuckle slightly and pick up the sandwich. "Thank you Papyrus." I start unwrapping the saran wrap around it. We all started eating and soon we all finished. I brought out some of the snacks from the brown paper bag, a few fruit snacks, and two cosmic brownies.  I saw how Boss immediately called dibs on one of the fruit snack packs. Sans and Red both immediately teleported to the cosmic brownies as soon as they were placed on the table.

   I handed Papyrus a fruit snack pack he smiled at me. "Thank you (Y/N)! Would you like to share this with me?"  I chuckled. "Sure, but I'll just take one." I saw how he quickly handed me one and searched around the pack. I looked a little confused but decided to let him do what he wanted to do. He looks up with his eyelights glimmering. "Here you go! I found the most biggest one in the pack!" He held it out for me to take. "Are you sure?" Papyrus nods. "Of course! My human only gets the best! Like me and Boss! Oh, and Sans and Red of course!" I gave him such an appreciative puppy dog eye look. Touched by Papyrus's sweet gesture, I took the fruit snack he offered. "Thanks, Papyrus. You're the best." He beamed with pride, his eyelights sparkling even brighter. Sans and Red were already halfway through their cosmic brownies, crumbs scattered on the table around them. Boss meticulously opened his fruit snack pack, ensuring not a single piece went astray. I couldn't help but smile at how each of their personalities shined through even in the simplest of moments.

  I finished eating my sandwich in about five minutes and there were still a few packs of fruit snacks left in the brown paper bag. I grab them and stuff them into my pocket apron as I get up. "Guys. I'll be right back I gotta go do something, be right back!" I start walking towards the door only to turn around again. "Sans and Red no stealing the ketchup and mustard packs from the fridge! I already have some for you in my lunch box, oh same with your apple and cranberry juice boxes Papyrus and Boss! Love ya guys! Bye!" I open the door and leave. I go down the halls and stand in front of the door for the special bitties. I hesitate for a second but take a deep breath in before opening it up and walking in and closing the door. I walk down the terrariums on the shelves and make it to Onyx and Topaz's home. I tap gently on the glass and see some movement in the house. I take a few steps back and sit on the ground fiddling with my hands as I wait for a response of some kind. "Hey, ya need something?" I looked around to see where the voice was coming from. I saw Topaz leaning outside on the corner of his tank, giving me a slight wave. "Oh, umm. Yes! I mean no! I mean...sigh...I brought you and your brother something...to keep my word from last time." I pull out two packs of fruit gummies and show them to him. I watch him blink out of existence and appear in front of me. "Oh, thanks a bunch. My bro will love them." I hear him say with a chuckle at the end. I place both packets down next to Topaz, he picks grabs them both, and teleports off somewhere.  

  I get up and get ready to leave only to hear something tapping on some glass. I looked around to see that it was Onyx and Topaz standing at the edge of their tank. I give them a small wave with a polite and warm smile. "Hello Onyx, did you like the candy?" I saw how he fiddled with his hands for a moment before answering. "Y-yeah. It was really nice of you. Thank you...umm...if it's not too much trouble...if you h-have anymore...could you give them to some friends of o-ours?" I saw how he kept fiddling with his hands. "Of course. Just point to which tank and I'll be more than happy to." I said softly to help him calm down. I saw how he relaxed slightly. I saw how he gestured to a certain tank with a red sticker on it. "It'll be okay. I'll go talk to them first then come and get ya." I hear Topaz say as he stretches his back slightly. I nodded. "Bro do ya wanna go back inside or do ya wanna stay out here?" I saw how Onyx looked at me for a moment before looking back at his brother. "I-I can wait for you out here brother." Topaz gave his brother a warm smile as he playfully patted his brother's head. He disappeared out of sight. I slowly sat back on the ground to try to help Onyx feel a little calmer around me. He watched me as I did looking a little more calmer. "So...how are you?" He rubbed the back of his head. "I'm okay...y-you?" I nodded. "Not doing bad...though I didn't really pack much of lunch for myself...now for my bitty friends I definitely did." I saw how he hesitated to speak for a few moments. "M-m-make su-sure to eat w-well." I nodded with a big smile. "Of course. Thank you for being so concerned for me. That's really cool of you." I saw how his face was blushing a sky-blue hue. He nodded still looking embarrassed. I smiled and decided to ask the million-dollar question. "So how do you feel about...tacos?" I saw how Onyx looked excited about this subject. "I-I really like them! They're perfect!" I nodded. "Agreed. They're very good. A crunchy shell, vegetables, meat, and last but not least cheese with some sauce of some kind." I saw how relaxed he looked. "A-agreed! They are perfection!"

  Topaz suddenly appeared in front of me right next to his brother. "Hey bro, hey (Y/N). I talked to them, and they'll take the gummies. But I would suggest being careful when placing the sweets in their tank, and don't rush to put them in or when you take your hands out." I gulped loudly but nodded. "They...aren't gonna bite my fingers off are they?" I say jokingly. "Hmmm one of them might." I felt all the color from my face leave me for a moment. "You-you don't have to do it...pappy or Mrs.Cry can do it." Onyx said to me in a soft tone. I look at him for a second and shake my head. "No you asked me for a favor and I want to show you guys can rely on me." I slowly get up and head to the tank they pointed at. I take a deep breath and give it a small and soft tap. I see some rustling inside as the door slowly creaks open. I see a single dark bloody red appear. I straighten up slightly. "Hi. Onyx wanted m-me to give these to ya and whoever else is in there. M-may I please put the-the snacks in?" I say holding the two packs of fruit gummies. I see the red eye just stare at me until I spot a pair of whiteish-grey eyelights. "Brother! Don't be rude to our guest!" I hear a creaking voice say as they both slowly come out. The Papyrus type looked about an inch taller than my Papyrus, with sharp crooked teeth, and a slight limp. He's wearing battle body armor has some patches on his chest, and his scarf is more torn and faded. The Sans-type bitty has his skull bashed in, and his right eye socket is pitch black. He's wearing the same outfit as any Sans but he has some red spots on it, and the whole outfit looks faded and worn down. They both looked like they came from a horror movie.

 "Hello...I'm...(Y/N)." I say softly. "Hello! I apologize for my brother's rude staring!" I shake my head. "No, it's okay. I...I've just never seen bitty types like you two before." I quickly cover my mouth with my free hand. "S-sorry! I didn't mean for it to sound so rude!" I hear the Sans bitty start chuckling. "Heh. You sure you should be here human?" I tilted my head slightly to the side. "Well yes. I work here." The bitty chuckled again. "Not too bright either I see." The Papyrus bitty folded his arms as he turned to his brother. "Slicer! That is no way to talk to a guest!" I shake my head. "Nah it's okay. He's...not wrong...I'm...a tad dense." I say while rubbing the back of my head. "Heh, and a push over too. How weak...right Sweets?" The Papyrus bitty gave his brother a stern look before turning back to me with an apologetic smile. "Please forgive my brother, Slicer. He can be... difficult but rest assured I'll give him a stern talking too." "It's okay, I get it new human who's just showed up with y'all I get it." I replied, trying to keep my voice steady. "I just wanted to bring these snacks as a gesture of goodwill, and as a favor for Onyx. May I please put them in?" I saw how Sweets nodded. "Of course! Brother no biting or hurting them!" Slicer gave his brother a small scoff as he scratched the inside of his skull. "Fine, but if they take too long I'm gonna start stabling and cutting." I nod shakily take off the lid and gently put in the two packs at a comfortable distance from them. 

  I suddenly feel a weight on my hand as I look down to see the Slicer holding a rusted nail right on top of my hand. I freeze up like a deer in headlights, not even breathing. I watch him as he chuckles. "Hehehehehe. So much fear off ya..." I take a few more seconds before speaking. "y-yeah...guess you can s-say you-you played a-a hand in-in it." I instantly regret making that nervous joke right now. I see Slicer stop moving for a second before looking at me, I could see the gears turning in his head. He had a crazed look in his eyes before his brother swiftly picked him up. "Brother no frightening our guest!"  I slowly took my hand out as I put the lid back on. "Wow...I gotta hand it to ya Sweets. You really gained the upper hand here." I start sprouting hand jokes, as Sweets groans. I see how Slicer just stays quiet as he watches me. "S-sorry about that. I-I don't know where that came from, but I'll leave you two now. It-it was still really great to meet you two though! I'll see if I can bring some snacks again bye!" I walk off nervously as I make my way back to Topaz and Onxy tank.
