Not Just Evil (Underfell Papyrus X Reader)

Chapter 12: "Silent Suffering"

I sighed and leaned back into the couch, I had to watch this human closely. There was no way I'd let her hurt Papyrus in any way, shape or form. Papyrus and I may have never seemed really close but in reality, I've always been his older overprotective bro.

He may think he's in charge, and he really is but I still take my responsibility of being the older brother very seriously.

I may seem like I don't care that he goes out and fights people daily but deep inside, I really do.

I'm afraid to loose him, he's the only family I have left... The person I have raised since he was a babybones.

If only I could remember more about the circumstances and why I had to raise Papyrus when I was still a young skeleton myself.

All I know is that our mother had died when Papyrus was very young, we have some pictures of her in an old photo album that Alphys discovered hidden in her lab.

I can barely remember my father's face, all I know is that his brilliant mind got twisted after his wife died and he slowly descended into madness.

I don't know what happened to my dad but it almost seems like he was erased from history somehow. Some photos from the photo album have pictures that seem to have a figure removed and others are just very overexposed.

When that brat, Frisk showed up they slaughtered Papyrus without a care in the world. I was all alone, they were going on a killing spree and I did nothing to stop them until they reached Asgore's castle.

It was then I revealed my true power, I killed them time after time when finally, they gave up.

But they came back and expected to have a perfect journey they were mistaken though, it was even worse the second time around. I still had not forgiven that selfish child so I helped make it their own personal hell.

And all of those events led up to that pathetic being's disappearance.

I didn't want what happened with the last human to happen again, it couldn't happen.

I shook my head and put my palm over my left eye socket, I saw what was happening. My little brother was developing a liking for this girl and she likes him back.

How would this even work out for them? He's been taught all his life to despise humans for what they did and he really did hate them, but this girl was somehow changing his mind.

One night Paps snuck out of the house without my knowledge and begged Undyne to train him, he apparently stayed at her doorstep all night long. No matter how many spears she threw at him he stayed stubborn and would not move.

He was lucky that she didn't kill him, Undyne is not a very compassionate individual but for some reason she complied and took him into training.

The first time I realized it would change him was when he came back from training with the crack in his eye socket. He was almost emotionless about it and it scared me to see him like that.

When he explained how it happened my heart dropped, they were brainwashing my little brother to be like them by pain and torture.

I would have pulled him out of training right then and there but I knew that being in the royal guard was his dream so, I didn't stop him.

He was a very fast learner and he quickly became an equal opponent to Undyne. She eventually got scared of how much power he had and tried her best to scare him away, but to no avail.

Through the course of the next few months, the Papyrus I knew had changed completely. He had gone from an awkwardly tall and shy teen to a high authority royal guardsman.

And that was when he got me to start calling him 'boss'. Now our brotherly bond was shattered and he pretty much just saw me as some Snowdin resident.

Papyrus had sworn up and down the walls for years that he would capture a human and become captain of the royal guard, I never once doubted him.

The part that I hate the most is that my little bro was taught to be a cold and ruthless person. He even abuses me physically and verbally if I fall asleep at my posts or disrespect him in any way.

I growled and turned off the television, I was sick of all this.

If he really has fallen in love with a human he will protect her at any cost. He could be exiled because of that or even worse, executed by Undyne for getting in the way of the monsters' freedom.

I have to stop this somehow, right? If I went ahead and killed her the monsters would go free and Papyrus would never be threatened or hurt... But if he really loves her he would hurt emotionally and never be the same if she was murdered.

If they both confess to each other than they will start dating and may become inseparable.

I sighed and threw the television remote at the wall in frustration, I scowled and grumbled. I hate life down here.

Suddenly, I heard a soft voice come from the kitchen.

"Sans, are you alright?" It asked.

"yeah, just freakin' dandy!" I growled in response.

She peeked out of the kitchen and looked at me with a furrowed brow.

"What's up with you?" She asked with a tilt of her head.

I rolled my iris and looked at her with an annoyed glace.

"you and your simple mind wouldn't understand, doll." I grumbled in response.

"And that's what I call 'lack of communication'." She folded her arms and leaned against the doorway.

"heel little kitten, you're gettin' too cocky." I muttered.

She seemed to freeze for a second.

"Right, sorry." She apologized.

I grunted as I sat up from the couch, "i'm goin' to grillby's." I told her quietly.

She was about to protest when I stopped her.

"don't say a word, doll." I growled as I walked to the door.

She nodded and walked back into the kitchen.

I sighed and teleported outside of Grillby's and leaned against the outer wall of the building.

I reached into my jacket pocket and pulled out a box of cigarettes and a lighter.

It wasn't often that I smoked but when I needed to relax I wouldn't hesitate to take a smoke break.

Papyrus caught me smoking once and got really mad, he lifted me by my coat and held me against a wall.

He told me that smoking would kill me and I replied that he'd probably kill me first, I went home with some broken bones that night.

I lit a cigarette, put it into my mouth and let out a puff of smoke.

At least there was no chance Papyrus would see me smoking, he kinda made me swear not to smoke ever again after that experience. But at least I know he still cares for me somewhat, even if it's just a little.

I blew out another puff of smoke and looked at my hand holding the cigarette.

What has my life become? It just seems like all I'm trying to do now is find relief for the constant pain I endure.

I shakily lifted the cigarette back to my mouth but I shook my head and threw it onto the ground.

I crushed it into the snow and walked inside Grillby's.

"i'm gonna need somethin' stronger." I grumbled.
