The Purple Flame (a grillby x gaster fan fiction)

Warmth meets a cool color

(Holy shit terrible chapter title sorry I stared at my screen for an hour that was all I could think of)

Grillby's POV 🔥

It was just a normal day and I was behind the bar counter working. It wasn't a busy day, neither was the bar empty. I was refilling some ones cup when I heard a ring and the door open and close. I looked up to see two skeletons walk in. One was sans and the other was a tall, unfamiliar skeleton wearing dress shoes and pants, a turtle neck, and a dress coat over it.

"Yo grillbz, two bottles of ketchup", sans said while sitting down next to the other skeleton.
I gave a small nod and grabed two bottles of ketchup and put one in front of each of them.
"Thank you", gaster said and gave me a weak smile. My face turned a slight blue as I smiled back at him.

(I already said this in my soriel fanfic but they blush colors and if you don't know that then what the hell are you doing here)
"Y-you're welcome.....um....", I replied sheepishly.
"Gaster, W. D. Gaster", he said still smiling weakly.
Sans set down the ketchup bottle after gulping half the bottle and said, "so grillbz, waddya think of my old man eh?"
"He's your father? But I thought he... Uh..." I trailed off. I was confused. Sans has talked to me about many problems, one of them being the fact his dad fell in the core and... Passed away.

Sans picked up on it that I was confused and said with a sad tone, "dead? Y-yeah... I thought so to..."

Gaster patted sans back in attempt to comfort him and said, "it's ok son I'm not dead."
He then looked at me and continued, "I was just... Erm... Stuck I guess, in the void."

I looked at sans and asked, "wait does your brother know?" He sighed and calmed down then replied, "pap? Yeah he was in his room on the undernet when I... Uh... Helped my dad out? I'm not sure what really happened but my dad kinda fell on the ground after I pulled him and pap heard the thud and ran down stairs to see what it was, that's when everything was explained."

Gaster let out a low chuckle and said, "yes, and Papyrus was quite confused, can't really blame him though."

I found myself staring at this gaster. His deep voice, his turtle neck, the way he chuckles.... Why is it all so... Attractive? I'm not gay as far as I am aware... Hmm...

Gaster looked at me and seemed uncomfortable and said, "um, grillby sir, your staring at me.."
His face was a deep purple. My face was blue.

Sans yawned and said, "yo grillbz, it's gettin late, me and the old man best get home" he stood up to walk out but I said, "are you planning on paying sans?"

He shrugged "put it on my tab" I sighed, kind of annoyed when gaster said, "it's alright I'll pay for it"

He looked in my eyes and asked, "how much?"

My face was blue and I answered sheepishly, "um i-it's on t-the house"
He smiled and thanked me and they both walked out.
I closed up after every one had cleared out and headed home.

I pushed the door to my bedroom open and layed
on my bed and sighed tired. I remained idle thinking about the skeleton I had just met.
