I'll Keep You Safe (DISCONTINUED)

4 (Papyrus' p.o.v.)

"THIS SPAGHETTI IS AMAZING!" I said as I shoved another forkful in my mouth.

"careful you don't choke papy," Sans said sternly and I slowed down and chewed my spaghetti properly.

Frisk giggled and ate another forkful of spaghetti chewing slowly so Sans would not say anything to her. I smiled and Sans finished his last bite of spaghetti before getting up to wash his plate. I smirked and got a great idea. I scooted closer to Frisk.

"Hey human, can I ask you something?" I look at her feeling my cheekbones heat up slightly. She turned to me.

"Yeah sure, what's your question Pap?" she smiled.

"W-would you perhaps l-like to g-go on another date with me? I know that our first d-date did not go well and I told you that I did not have feelings for you but I-" I stutter my cheekbones turning orange and Frisk stopped me from talking anymore by kissing my cheek. I stopped immediately my cheekbones turning dark orange and it spread up by my eye sockets.

"Of course I will silly," she giggled.

I smiled and moved away from Frisk, pulling my scarf up around my mouth covering my blush from Sans. He would kill me if he knew what I just did. Especially because I know that he likes Frisk. But I was doing this to help him. I am hoping he will get jealous and confess his attraction to her. I smiled to myself. This idea was perfect. Sans walked back over to the table and offered to wash Frisk's empty plate. Huh I did not even notice that she finished her spaghetti. Frisk smiled and blushed bright pink and I giggled. Sans looked over at me with a confused look but I looked over at the television, hiding the smirk on my face. I felt Sans glaring at the back of my skull before I heard his footsteps walk towards the sink. I looked over at the clock and screamed.

"What's wrong Papyrus?" Frisk asked me.

"I AM GOING TO MISS THE METTATON SHOW!!!" I screamed.

Frisk giggled and I ran over to the television and turned it on. Mettaton walked on the screen and started talking but honestly I was not really paying attention. So many thoughts were running through my skull and I could not focus on anything. Not even Mettaton.

"papyrus? are you okay?" Sans asked snapping me out of my thoughts.

"YES, I AM FINE!" I lied, using a smile to prove my point.

Sans looked unconvinced but shrugged his shoulders and walked away. I looked back to the television and watched the blank screen. My eye socket lids drooped and I swayed slightly on the couch before laying down and slipping out of consciousness.

I looked at my surroundings. Was this Hotlands? I was not sure. It looked like Hotlands but it was cold here. I started shivering my bones rattling as the temperature dropped. It continued getting colder and colder. I tried to move but I felt too numb to even move. I looked down to see ice forming over my feet and I started panicking. I need to get out of her before I freeze to death. I started flailing around trying to get my foot free from the ice that is rapidly forming on it. The ice shattered and I quickly freed my other foot and took off running. My feet kept sticking to the frozen ground but I was determined to stay alive. Wait what?! I could feel the determination flowing through me. Normally monsters do not have determination but maybe I was an exception. The ice started forming faster and I pushed my legs to run as fast as I possibly could. I, the great Papyrus, am not dying today! Suddenly the scenery changed and I was in a completely new place that I've never seen before. It was strange and dark and it gave me the creeps. A chill ran up my spine and I froze in place. Someone or something was watching me. I slowly turned around to see a man standing behind me watching me carefully. Well he was not really a man, he was more a skeleton. He had a long face with a small smile. His right eye socket had a crack running up to the top of his head and his left eye socket had a crack running down to his mouth. His hands had holes in the palms and he wore a white sweater with a long black coat overtop and he had black dress pants and dress shoes. I got a comforting yet creepy vibe from this skeleton. He gave me a small smile and lifted his hands and made more appear. I watched closely as the hands started spelling out something.

"Hello my son," the strange skeleton spelled out with his hands making me gasp in surprise.

"I think you are mistaken. My father died many years ago," I told him quietly.

"My name is Gaster. I am your father. I didn't die. I fell into the Core while I was the royal scientist. I've missed you and Sans so much all these years," he spelled out again as a tear rolled down his cheek bone.

"I do not understand...Gaster, what do you mean?" I asked the bones above my eye sockets creased together in confusion.

"I was conducting an experiment and I fell into the Core and became trapped somewhere but I'm not sure where exactly I was trapped..." Gaster spelt out, the bones above his eye sockets creasing together in thought.

I stood there trying to process this information. Gaster looked at me once again and his hands started spelling something out again.

"I'm sorry I-" was all I saw before the everything went black.

I opened my eyes even more confused than before. I sat up slowly and looked around noticing that nobody was around. I frowned and stood up stretching. I wanted to see if Sans knew anything about this "Gaster" person.
