W. D. Gaster x Reader

Soulmate: Artwork

My drawings on my arm have become to grow in complexity. I'm now able to make it seem as though I have a full sleeve of tattoos on my arm, and Gaster's. I call him Gaster as he likes to go by his last name.

Today I had his entire arm covered in roses.

'Do you enjoy drawing?'

Appeared on my inner forearm, the place I always left blank for conversation.

'Yea. I like it alright. Does it annoy you when I always draw?'

'No. I like it. It's oddly comforting.'

I smiled at this. I was now nineteen. I was in college and currently participating in a study abroad program. I was sitting in front of the Taj Mahal itself. They had special wipes made specifically for wiping ink off our arms since drawing on them is very common.

I pulled one out and erased the current artwork on there. I then began to draw on the back of my forearm. A portrait of the beautiful sight before me.

Two hours later, I had a near perfect replica of the Taj Mahal on my arm. Alongside it was the Eiffel Tower, the London Eye, and Times Square. I also drew roses and stuff for decoration on my upper arm.

A new message was on my forearm.

'What's the new building?'

'The Taj Mahal. It's a mausoleum in India. It was commissioned by emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favorite wife.'

'He did all that for her?'

'Yea. He must really of loved her.'

I commented. I then looked back up at it. I didn't feel alone. It felt like he was right here with me.

'You said my name appeared on your arm two hundred years ago?'

'Yes.'

'Did you ever try to contact me'

There was a solid thirty seconds with no response.

'Yes. I would often draw and write. I spent twenty years obsessed with it, until I realized something wasn't right. I sort of lost hope. Until you started drawing on your arm five years ago. Had I known you just hadn't been born yet, I wouldn't of used up all those pens.'

I smiled some. It was bittersweet, knowing I caused him all those years of pain and questioning. But now he has me. Maybe that makes it worth it.

I smiled at the warm breeze that hit me.

'What'll happen when I go down there? Assuming I survive the impact, will you just keep never aging while I do?'

I questioned. There was no response for a while.

'Maybe. It depends on whether or not I could change that with my magic or my science.'

I would suggest that maybe he just needs to have more kids, but I didn't want to seem too forward or creepy.

I sighed softly, taking a moment to respond. I didn't really know what to say.

'I hope whatever happens, it's for the best.'

I facepalmed. That was such a stupid response. But it was the first thing I came up with and I didn't want to leave him hanging. I sighed and looked back at the beautiful sight before me, somehow, I knew everything would end up okay.

Israel, Ireland, Scotland, Zimbabwe, The Congo, Papua New Guinea, Australia, California, Canada, Florida, The Caribbean, Jamaica, Hawaii, Brazil, Peru, Spain, Italy, Germany, Russia, Japan, China, South Korea, and Swahili were added to my list of places visited. I drew landmarks and landscapes for Gaster, showing him the world I saw. Then, after I finished college and spent two years traveling the world, I was twenty - four and finally ready. I didn't tell him until I was at the base of the mountain.

'I'm at the base of Mt. Ebott.'

I said and I waited a moment for him to respond.

'Are you sure you're ready?'

'Yes.'

I responded without hesitation. He responded and I watched the letters appear on my arm. It was a long message in which he explained that he would tell everyone a human was coming down but that it was his mate, so I should wait a moment before I jump. He doesn't want anything to happen to me before he can get to me. I understood.

I sat an hour, I ate some food I packed, drank a bottle of water. Anxiety was starting to get to me. I knew it didn't matter how I looked when I fell because I was gonna literally jump down a mountain. And I knew that monsters wouldn't hold me to the same beauty standards as humans. I knew he would think me beautiful and accept me. That gave me comfort as I waited.

'I notified the King and his guard. I'm headed to the bottom of the mouth where you'll jump.'

Apparently it's a long walk. Luckily, he kept in conversation with me while I waited. We talked about the different terrains of the Underground as he walked through them. New Home, Hotlands, Waterfall, Snowdin, and The Ruins. All appropriately named places. It was sort of funny how it gave away the environment in the name.

As he walked through Snowdin, he told me his pace picked up to a jog and the rest of his party was struggling to keep up. I asked who he brought with him.

'sans and Papyrus, my lab assistant Alphys, Undyne and some of the guard, and the King and Queen themselves.'

I really hope I don't die when I fall.

I began to head up the mountain. Thankfully, Gaster and his group reached the opening before I did. It would if killed me to have to wait there for them, knowing I was about to jump. I was a few yards away from the entrance. I knew I didn't have the strength to jump, every part of my instincts would try to prevent me.

'I'm a couple yards away. I'm gonna close my eyes and run. I know my instincts won't let me jump. But I also know I have to get down there.'

I didn't even wait for a response before I wrote, 'I love you.'

'I love you too'

Quickly appeared before I could start running. I grinned, sprinting towards the entrance. I was terrified, my heart pounding, adrenaline rushing, and my head was telling me to turn around. I didn't. I closed my eyes, and leaped.
