a broken Songbird (underfell sans X reader)

chapter (4) beginning something strange

At first I was too afraid to dial the number in fact I kept it on my nightstand for about a week or two until I finally gained the courage to call the number that strange skeleton had given me. To be completely honest I hung up like three times before I actually stayed on the line.

" hello?" A murky masculine voice said on the other side as if it was sleep deprived for years. "Um...hey! It's me you know the girl from the party I wanted to talk to you about a time we could meet" I heard a chuckle on the other line. It was guttural it seems like it was truly pleased with the idea. " alright doll face I have a hunger for something I bit on the gross side so why don't we go to grillby's I get half off there" as he spoke of this grillby's I tried to remember where did I hear that before. My brain has paused for a moment pondering the idea until I realized it was the restaurant owned by a man made completely out of purple fire who was a bit on the perverted side which made my insides churn as if it was a finely made gumbo. " I'm sure where exactly would you like to meet up to start to head to this place or would you like to meet there?" My brain was screaming for me to stop and just ask for another restaurant but the Kinder side of me wouldn't allow it.

And so in a matter of minutes we had all the details discussed plans monitored and date set. During all of this so he seemed exhausted as if he just woke up from a nap which I found rather confusing. Considering it was the middle of the day and the world seem to be awake. However I will not question how people live their life and I guess this is how he is and I should accept it which I will.

I kept thinking about him after I ended the call and then finally realized the dates we had set were for tomorrow afternoon and we would meet at the last table of the last row in grillby's Diner. My cheeks started to burn at the idea of being alone with someone I barely met but someone I've studied from afar for over few weeks now. It was almost like meeting him for the first time but already knowing who he was.

I should really ask Jenny if she knew anything about this sort of thing but I'm going to resist that. The only thing she knows about relationships is she knows how to destroy them. I do not want that sort of topic coming up in my conversations that could possibly destroy future relationships or friendships I could possibly happen. I mentally patted myself on the back and started to prepare lunch to try to forget about the contents of today as it all started to fry up into a pan for me to forget.

My day went on as usual me having to go to work and then having to go grocery shopping for the fact that earlier during the week most of my produce had spoiled which was rather disgusting. It also made my apartment smell like rotting manure so I decided to not stay there for a little while and let it air out.

But besides all of that my day went pretty well save for the fact I had bumped in to a rather tall skeleton that had the most angriest look in his eyes I had ever seen in my life. Kid look like you'd be the type of person to punch a puppy in the face and not care for the consequences of his actions. " watch where you're going pitiful human Papyrus the Terrible will not stand for this amalgamation of Unfortunate Events". He had a shirt on that said" bad to the bone" which he seemed pretty proud of. " my apologies sir I hope you have a better day than .......what just happened." I awkwardly motioned to the air about us signaling that I was talking about a few moments ago. He looked at me as if I was a dancing chicken putting on a Myriad of dances and performances in a tutu.
"I apologize human but I do not understand your unorthodox motions" he was very sophisticated even though he always had this grumpy stature about him. Yet it was hard for me to understand half the words he was saying to me considering I have no idea what he's talking about. " anyway I hope you have a good day" I brushed off my confusion of his very large words and started to walk off until he grabbed my shoulder. " wait... Human may I have your number?" The surprise me his grumpy stature turned into something gentle and nervous. His cheekbones were flushed a brilliant crimson as he seem to be shaking " oh um.. sure I guess I just met you but oh well..." I quickly reached into my bag grabbing a small sheet of paper and a pen as I jotted down a few numbers.

Once I was satisfied with what I had done I handed him the sheet of paper waved goodbye and left him flushing and Confused in the street as I was very confused as well. Why were there so many monsters in My Life? I guess somehow I'm connected but I don't see how many of them could feel this strange around me am I that weird if a person? Or am I that plain? More and more questions started to Bubble Up in my head causing me to get a headache.

I quickly finished my grocery shopping and went home. I slammed open the door to my apartment jumping into my house and then shouting" the Holy Grail of microwaveable meals has opened!". Me being rather poor I looked on mostly things that I didn't have to truly prepare which it didn't help that I went to go get coffee everyday. I tried not to think about it too much as I heated up one of the many meals and then started reading a book getting ready for tomorrow to be another day.
