❀ ~ Underswap! Chara x Papyrus ~ ❀

♥︎ Author's P.O.V. ♥︎

Today was the day, Chara was going to finally do it.

She'd tell Papyrus how she felt.

     Despite her tall, bony friend always showing his lazy side, he never doubted her. She loved that about him. Not just that, but he was always doing things to her benefit. Specifically when they'd go on small outings together. He knew chocolate was Chara's favorite, so he'd get Muffet to make something special just for her.
Little did she know that Papyrus adored the cute smile that permanently stained her lips.

     Tiny bubbles of fear made their way into Chara's heart, coating it in suds of insecurity.
     "W-well I just wanted to tell you that..." Chara stumbled. She knew it'd be hard. Whenever she thought of telling him, her nervous system went out of whack, and she'd begin to doubt herself...

     What was she even doing this for? And what if she was rejected? It'd be all for nothing with leftover embarrassment to kick her in the ass.

Let's face it. She was a portrayed child. That's probably the way he saw her, the way everyone saw her.

"alright kid, which one do ya want?"
"Chocolate~!"
"heh, figures."

     Her head drooped unintentionally. She's considered the cute, innocent angel without her own consent. Perhaps it's true, and Papyrus is way out of her league. What then? Could she move on? Did he see her as a little sister, or was he just her babysitter?

A small flame ignited.

     "...."
     "kid? you alright there buddy?" Chara scoffed.
     "Kid..." is that what he saw when she strode up next to him in her yellow and green sweater? A kid, a child, a baby?
Maybe it is the stripes...

     Where'd this thought process even come from anyway? He knew she wasn't just a 'kid', so why did it feel that way?
     He never treated Frisk like a child. Buying her sweets and playing silly games that were starting to get boring for our lovesick protagonist. Frisk was one of Chara's best reformed friends. Nowadays, she's pinning for Blueberry, Snowdin's favored skeleroll. They're always around each other, but Chara figured out that Frisk was patiently waiting for him to slip into an unnatural heat for her own strange enjoyment. It might seem weird for her rude, unhappy bestie to be on the inappropriate side, but what can you do.

     "uh... what's the matter bucko?" Chara's eyes stung, but she wouldn't cry. That'd only make her an even bigger baby, right?

     "Nothing, Papy... Papyrus. I just wanted to ask what you think of me." She asked, trying her best to seem formal. Fists clenched, and mouth held shut, she awaited his response.

     "hm? interesting... i think you're an incredibly sweet and adorable kid... with a strong adoration for chocolate..." Chara's face threatened to redden. Not out of embarrassment. but out of anger.

     He's always been seeing a toddler who swings her legs while she sits, kicking the air. Mesmerized by everything she saw. Even by something like a simple frog, camouflaged in the grass and she just happened to see it movement. Curious, she'd creep over to the amphibian and poke its bumpy body. Only to be told by her spoiling guardian that she should leave the poor thing alone.

     Chara started to feel more transparent and fragile than a window. One that's been smashed by some random kid's baseball.... maybe a rock.

     "Really? That's nice of you to say Papyrus... I appreciate it." She let the lie slip right through her teeth.

     "anytime choco~" he patted her head affectionately, allowing her to regret the situation even more. He lingered to play in my hair and pinched her cheek. "cute." he cooed before walking away. Once he was out of site, Chara went to her room and threw a teeny tiny tantrum.

     "Why don't you just sit me up in a highchair for me to throw applesauce at your dense skull!" She dropped onto the floor and flailed around. "Why did I have to fall for him? It doesn't even make sense." Chara sat up and rubbed her head, running her small fingers across her roots whilst fighting back tears. "It could've been anyone else... how am I supposed to get over this." She hit the wall harder than intended. "Oww..." Papyrus knocked on the door.
"Can I come in Chara?" Her heart throbbed with pain.
"Y-yes you can." Keeping up the 'older Chara' act. He entered, allowing the smell of smoke to welcome itself as well. "What d-do you need." She attempted to say without sounding sad.
"Are you alright? You were actin' kinda weird back there." I froze. Yes, I was mad, but was it really that noticeable? My feelings have been bottled up thus far!
"Never better..." I smiled that time, and he... well his expression never changes.
"You're not going through some emo-child faze are ya? Cuz-"
"No! Papyrus.... just... just leave me alone. I really don't understand why you're pushing me!" She snapped, covering her mouth soon after. "I'm sorry... I-" Papyrus had walked over and pulled her into a hug.
     "What were you really planning on telling me?" Chara attempted to pull away, but was forced still by his annoying and overpowering magic. "We don't have to make this difficult, Chara." She stared into his sockets, and he into her red eyes.

     "... I feel as though what I was going to say, doesn't matter anymore." She muttered painfully. "But... as you wish..." she stood up on her toes and pecked his teeth gently. Slowly, her face grew a beat red, opposite of her usual pale complexion. A hazy orange was barley seen on Papyrus's cheekbones.
     "T-that wasn't..."
     "I was trying to make it obvious. I love you, idiot." The magic drifted away, setting Chara free. His grip loosened, and she stepped back, waiting for him to do something. When he just stood there, shocked, not doing anything to conclude the situation, she chuckled softly before walking out of the room.

End.
