The Call Of A Mute Heart

Underswap Special 2

To say that the air was tense was putting it VERY mildly. The stare down between you and the very Sans-like Papyrus was starting to make your anxiety spike. You hadn't blinked ever since your gazes met and your poor eyes were starting to water. His posture wasn't very intimidating. Hell, he looked like Papyrus and because of this it made him less intimidating physically. It wasn't the winter weather chilling you to the bone. It was the aura that he was giving off that was freezing you to your spot.

This skeleton did NOT like you. He looked relaxed as he swirled the lollipop in his mouth but that menacing aura... You were afraid that he would incinerate you if you so much as blinked. Despite all of this, the little adorable Sans, that was standing next to you ,was completely oblivious to the situation. That or he was just choosing to ignore it.

Man, you wish that you could do the same.

"NOT ONLY DID SHE COME FROM THE SKY, SHE CAN DO MAGIC!" the small skeleton excitedly yelled and you watched as Papyrus's relaxed slouched posture got a tiny bit tense. If it wasn't for the fact you were so used to Sans, you would have just chalked the movement up to him getting more comfortable where he stood. It was a very subtle practiced movement.

"is that so, bro?" He spoke Papyrus's voice but the tone was as if it came from your Sans. This whole situation was just confusing and weird. It was almost like the skeleton brothers... had switched personalities? Ugh, this was making your brain hurt and it already was doing that since you fell from the sky. The monster candy didn't diminish all of the pains.

Little Sans nodded his skull excitedly. "YES! I HELPED HER MAKE THIS!" He pointed to the pulsing golden, star-shaped waypoint that you had made with your Sans's magic and you so wished that you hadn't let him help you now. It was bad enough that this Papyrus didn't like you at first glance. Now you were either going to have to bullshit your way through this next conversation or you were going to have to explain that you were a human from another universe who is dating an international monster star that was bound to be someone they knew or one of their friends.

Yeah... that doesn't sound crazy in the slightest.

Papyrus's menacing aura seemed to get more pressure as he took a couple steps forward to look at the odd little thing between you and his brother. The pressure not helping as you were oddly reminded of Crimson's murderous aura when you met him for the first time. Though Papyrus's wasn't as nearly as intense as Crimson's. That robot had flat out wanted to kill you when you first met whereas it seems Papyrus was holding some reservations. You really hope that you were judging the situation correctly or else you may end up dying before Sans and Alphys could even attempt to get here.

You still haven't blinked and your poor eyes were starting to sting painfully for being open for so long. The ominous feeling starting to bring you towards a panic attack but somehow you are managing to keep a slightly tense but reassuring smile plastered to your face. "so... what is that...?"

The tall skeleton was completely casual as he spoke but you could sense the hidden meaning behind it even if his innocent brother didn't notice. "I DO NOT KNOW! BUT IT'S VERY PRETTY!" The small skeleton eyed your combined creation with wonder as his loud voice echoed about the clearing. Papyrus then turned to you with a browbone raised waiting for your answer.

An even more curious look crossed the skeleton's face as you flipped your phone out and began typing into the text to talk app. To his credit, he patiently waits (though he is regarding you warily the entire time.) for you to finish before his browbones shoot up in slight surprise as your phone speaks for you. "It's a shiny thing." There is a bit of silence before you see a crack in the casual yet serious demeanor that Papyrus is giving off and you see a hint of amusement in his eye sockets.
