Again you were back with Undyne and Alphys training you to get used to social interactions at Toriel's. Still awkward as usual for all three of you. You improved on understanding and telling which emotions you're feeling. But there is this feeling that is bothering you, the confusion with you in deep thoughts was plastered all over your face like a canvas. Undyne was the first to point that out.

"Hey Y/N!" There was no response from you. Your head was in a buzz trying to wrap your head around on what is this strange feeling you are now experiencing.  Undyne called your name for a minute, but still no sign of you going back to earth anytime soon. It was until that moment Undyne fuse run short.

"Darn Y/N quit daydreaming and wake up!" With that, she slaps the back of your head which indeed pulls you right back from the space of thoughts. Almost falling forward from the hit you stared at the blue monster wide-eyed mixture of confusion and shock. "Ok then now that you're back. What's wrong?" You only give a facial response of question not knowing what she is referring to.

"What? You were making a face that it looks like something is pulling your leg. So what's up?" You converse the new feeling to her only for her to give you a big toothy grin. "I think I know what you're going through." She sounds confidence, but what that tone she has in her voice you thought. You received a gentle knuckle sandwich from her as she talks to her girlfriend. "You hear that Alphys! Now that's what we're talking about!" When you turn your head to see the yellow monster's reaction, you listened to a soft yet pitched sound. You find that odd for her mouth is not open only happen to be close shut by her two hands. Still confused on what they know made you feel left out. So you tried to get the answers from the others.

Toriel told you not to fret over small things same respond from Frisk who is holding Flowey are going for a stroll. Flowey kept his mouth shut not wanting to get burned by Grillby. "Be good while we're gone, my child." You waved them small goodbye as they exited the building. You can not go to Sans for he is not currently in the house. Alphys and Undyne still will not tell you the answer to your question, so it only leads to one last person in the house.

"HMMM." The tall skeleton said. He seems to be thinking hard about this. Scratching his skull, rubbing his chin, making the loud sounds of "HMMMMM." It starts to make you uncomfortable. This feeling seems to be a very mysterious one until he came up to a conclusion. "OH, I KNOW WHAT'S HAVE BEEN BOTHERING YOU!" He announced hitting his fist onto the palm of his red-gloved hand. You perked up asking what it is. "YOU MUST HAVE BE FAMISHED. HAVE YOU EATEN ANYTHING FOR AWHILE?" He asked. You shook your head you're not much of a talker especially with loud people, but Papyrus is kind.

"WELL THEN." He made a heroic pose, "I THE GREAT PAPYRUS SHALL MAKE YOU A MEAL FOR YOUR TROUBLING STOMACH." He rolled his tongue on the word great as he dashed to the kitchen. You followed after him seeing a box of pasta, a jar of tomato paste, a pot of water, etc. to make the dish. You watched him cooking, and it smells pleasant. You still hear an anime intro singing in the living room. You don't bother going there.

But you seemly jumped four feet into the air when Papyrus said, "DONE!" You saw a prepared plated of spaghetti that streams out effortlessly. You happily took a forkful of spaghetti, blowing it carefully. You ended up learning not eat foods right away if hot at temperature earlier when you were with Grillby, it hurts. The taste is great, but the texture of the pasta is slightly chewy. Even so, it's overall delicious to you on your first try eating spaghetti.

"Hey, Alphys do you smell that?" You heard a voice from the living room. "Yeah. W-what's wrong?" Alphys asked worriedly. "I know that smell anywhere... IT'S FREAKING SPAGHETTI!" With that came, a frantic fish followed along with a stumbling draco came into the room. She saw you eating Papyrus spaghetti pulls your chair dragging it against to the walls as she scolds at Papyrus about this. Alphys was checking you head to toe muttering oh dear as she makes sure there are no signs of nausea or vomiting. Or worse, food poisoning.

You saw Papyrus looking like he's about to cry. You feel sorry for him, he only just made you a meal. You stood off the chair approaching the plate, Undyne speech to Papyrus was cut short seeing you with the dish in your hands offering her to have a taste. She looked at you hesitantly and yet she could not say no to your face that shows subtle sadness and a small frown. So willingly she takes the plate from your hands as she consumes a few bites of spaghetti with all the confidences she could muster. She seems to be surprised that it tasted good.

"Hey not bad..." She felt guilty for what she has done. Apologizing to Papyrus, no more sadness filled his face. "It seems that I'm not needed to intervene now that (Y/N) has handled it quite smoothly." Everyone turns to where the voice was seeing that Grillby was leaning at the frame of the doorway with his arms cross. There's that feeling again that flows, seeping into your stomach. It's taunting you, you thought. "(Y/N)." You gave him your full attention. "Have you burn your tongue again? If so haven't I taught you better?" His parenting voice causes you to give him a slightly sour face not wanting to talk about it.

He laughs to himself remembering that moment when you struggle to blow not understanding that he meant you to blow gently on the food to cool it down.

In the end getting your tongue burned again as you instinctively waves your hands frantically at your tongue. "G-grillby how did you get in?" Alphas asked startled. "I have bumped into Toriel along the way. She gave me the spare keys to the house."

"(Y/N) it's time to go back home." He stated. You felt the fluttering yet panning feeling that jerks around in your belly. You shook your head in disagreement. Grillby raised a brow at you amused not because you always misbehave not doing what he asked you to do. But it was the first time that you refused to go back to his home. He asked, "Do you want to stay here for the night?" You shook your head yes, Grillby does not take that as an answer. "(Y/N) I need you to answer my question in words, now let me repeat. Do you want to stay here for the night?" You replied a yes. "Then you do not want to go home for the time being?" Anger floods into you, you hated it when he treats you like this like he has power over you. You clenched your fist and shouted, "I don't wanna!"Grillby taken back by this was about to give you a lesson or two, but you storm upstairs to the guest you were last in leaving him in the blue.

"What's wrong with (Y/N)?" Undyne questions confused why you snapped at Grillby.

"It's nothing, but I think it is best for them to stay here for a while."

Alphys noticed that his tone off than usual, "Grillby what happened?"

"Alphys we must get Toriel and Sans quick it's urgent."

Undyne was having difficulty understanding the situation busted in, "What is going on Grillby! Just spit it out already!"

Grillby told her to calm down, "I will explain later. But just to inform you it's about (Y/N)."

(A/N): This was some changes of this chapter. Too many typos for me that I have to fix immediately that's all.
