Not Just Evil (Underfell Papyrus X Reader)

Chapter 16: "The Confession"

.:Art by Alpha-Maia:.

A week had passed since Papyrus had gotten injured, he was completely healed now and you and him had been cooking dinner together every night. He had some very strange cooking habits that needed to be corrected but, he was learning.

Undyne hadn't showed up yet and you felt like at any moment, she could break down the skeleton brothers' door and take your soul.

Surprisingly enough, nothing out of the ordinary had happened since Undyne and Alphys hacked the TV's signal on Saturday. Today it's Wednesday and it is Papyrus' first day back at work. Sans is also gone, either at one of his posts or at Grillby's.

But since you are here all alone, you feel unsafe and unprotected. Nobody would be around to save you if that tyrant, Undyne showed up.

You had just been laying on the couch all day, staring up at the ceiling counting the cracks in it over and over again. You never thought you'd ever miss your boring job but, being trapped down here has proved your thought wrong. Your mind drifted off, wondering if your boss had figured out that you fell down here. You hope he doesn't think it's his fault, sure he did tell you about Mt. Ebott but he didn't tell you to climb it.

You looked over at the doorway and noticed Sans' jacket hanging on the coat rack. With curiosity, you walked over to it and lifted it off the hook, you held it up to your face and studied it closely.

You had only seen him without this on once and that was when you were doing laundry. You slipped the coat on, it was surprisingly big on you. You slid your hands into the pockets of his coat and felt something in his left pocket, you pulled whatever it was out and looked at it. It was a box of cigarettes and a lighter, you opened the box and pulled one of the cigarettes out, you felt the smooth paper covering the tobacco and observed it.

You lit the cigarette without any intent of actually smoking it and looked around for an ashtray but, there were none in sight. Your shrugged and continued watching it with interest. You always wondered why people enjoyed smoking, it never looked pleasant to you. The smoke often made you feel sick and it give you a headache when other people were smoking so you never tried.

Your face scrunched up at the smell the cigarette produced, "Seriously though, who would ever enjoy this?" You asked out loud.

Suddenly, Papyrus burst through the door and stared at you with the cigarette between your index and middle finger. He stormed over and snatched it out of your hand. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" He demanded to know.

Crap, how do you explain this? You weren't actually going to smoke so what do you say?

"Holding a lit cigarette." Oh no, that came out worse than you had hoped.

Papyrus growled and pushed you against the wall. "DON'T SMART ME, (Y\N)!" He lifted you by Sans' jacket so you were at eye level with him.

He stared at Sans' jacket on you and his pinpricks seemed to narrow.

"WHERE DID YOU FIND THIS?!" He held up the cigarette and he tightened his grip on you. He leaned closer to you and waited for a response.

Well, you guess there's no way you can get out of this without telling on Sans. Why does your curiosity always get the best of you? Surely you'd be dead by now if you were a cat, after all "curiosity kills the cat".

Was there any way to sugarcoat this? Probably not.

You sighed and made eye contact with him. You bit your lip slightly before you stuttered out "I f-found them in S-Sans' j-jacket...".
