(~Your POV + Time Skip~)
Coming to was not a pleasant experience. Immediately I'm hit with weakness, nausea and spinning vision. I groan loudly while holding an arm over my eyes.
'GOd.. WhaT the HeCK hAppEnEd?'
"Mm.." I squirm underneath the sheets, the skin of my legs hypersensitive to its softness. I pause and now this feeling leads to a growing confusion. I lift my arm from my face and instead lift up the sheet briefly. My clothes have been replaced by a long button down shirt, leaving my legs completely exposed. I hardcore flinch as Grillby turns towards me from his side of the bed, shirtless. My eyes widen.
'HECK-'
There's no way we did it. I would remember if something so suddenly sparked between me and my soulmate. Right?! Just the thought of it has me panicking inside and out. "Y/N, are you alright? Things surely were rough for you last night.." Grillby's stare is filled with concern and exhaustion. My soul swells up with too many emotions at once. I swear my face turns as red as wine.
'FREAKING HECK!'
I whine loudly and cover my face much to Grillby's puzzlement. "Y/N?" "Where are my cLoTHes?" I manage to squeak out. "I put them out to wash after we cleaned up the mess." Grillby is so casual in his tone that it's pretty much driving me insane. This conversation just continues to get more and more suspicious.
'WHAT DID I DO?!! HOW MUCH DID I DRINK AND WHEN CAN I WAKE UP?!'
"How are you feeling? You were throwing up all morning. I was concerned that I'd have to bring you to the hospital." His fingers softly trace back through my hair and along my scalp. It's so warm and comforting.
'Wait... that's it?'
I'm finally able to look at him again, "I.. I was?" Grillby's lips curve into a small smirk, "Well that's what happens when you down an entire bottle of hard monster liquor. We make it five times stronger than what humans can handle. I was surprised to see you weren't knocked out cold by the time Papyrus found you." "And nothing ELSE happened?" I ask him worriedly. "Oh- you certainly did and said a lot.. All completely harmless and innocent, if that's something you're concerned about."
'Thank god.'
It was all just a misunderstanding. I got myself worked up for no reason. I don't even know why I assumed Grillby would even do something like that.
A harsh ache forms in the side of my skull without warning. I groan and accidentally grip my hand over his. His smile fades away as he caresses that spot gently. "It hurts." I wince, afterwards being mentally aggravated at myself for acting like some child. Grillby moves himself closer. I feel as his other arm wraps around my waist. "You need to rest for the day.... Sans told me you were stressed."
'Of course he did.'
"Though I strictly do not agree with the method he and my brother chose to go about things, I'm glad the occurrence brought this to my attention." Grillby's hand comes down from my head and rests around my cheek instead. "Next time you need to confide in something, I would hope it would be me and not alcohol. It's a dangerous thing, Y/N." I feel the weight of guilt crawling onto my shoulders. Quickly, tears begin to form in my eyes as I whisper, "I'm sorry." I feel his chest rise and fall against mine as my soulmate takes a deep breath. He presses his mouth to my forehead in a small and loving peck. "Rest, Y/N." Grillby is on my side of the bed and now he's displaying behavior that he didn't come close to before. It has me feeling very mixed about it. I wrap my arms around his shoulders and nuzzle my head into his chest.
