It upsets you seeing those close to you is hurt in any way. There will be hurdles to approach and pass. Over and over again it is becoming a drag. But that is okay. There are still things to enjoy while you're at it. The odds of being with your caretaker to end with becoming a lover. A strange couple that just came out of the blue for many. Even so over a few years of being together, you have a job elsewhere that pays decently.

Making visitations to the hospital of your two friends who ended up running away during one of your visits. It saddens you momentarily with worry and dread for a few months, only to find them crashing at your home. It is complete madness to get them to make to their feet back properly into society along with cutting ties from their 'prisons.' Sueing the same place where you met the duo to learn of their wrong ways. They needed the money, so they kept people longer than usual lying about symptoms and enforcing drugs to prove that they are taking care of unhealthy patients. You are quite lucky to get out of there quickly due to your behavior.

The times their problems came back is to take them back home. Even so, they are legally independent thankfully and make charges against the issues than it raises to court when things begin to go extreme.

It makes you understand how Grillby feels and the obstacles he has to face taking care of you. They finally put their selves together on their own and begin working at Grillby's. Many kept talking about how much you changed. You didn't notice, much to your dismay. Packing up the last box of belongings Dawn and Holly hug you tightly as you gasp for air momentarily.

"I don't want to leave you," Holly mumbled half-sobbing. Patting their backs and comforting them to think about the good things that are to come, even though their thoughts are currently drowning in negativity. Dawn picked both of you and Holly up hugging tightly shouting, "I am peeve!" Angrily embrace he is upset to leave a friend who is like a sibling to them — a part of their family unit.

Getting them a house to live and own is not easy. Papers are tedious along with waving iron fists at the dealers. It is only a few miles away from Grillby's so they can work, but making it a big deal over moving. You commented it is not like they will never see you again, just less than usual.

"THAT'S THE POINT!" Dawn remarks, "I WANT YOU TO EXPERIENCE THE GOOD THINGS WITH US FIRST HAND!" The more he states out his sorrows and opinions on the situation Holly begins to wail out loud crying. Her death grip hugs, draining the life out of you.

"PLEASE, both of you calm down. (Y/N) and I will lend a hand to the settlement in your new home." Grillby is slightly panicking over the circumstances mainly seeing you turn blue and dealing with 2.0 and 3.0 version of your use-to-be past self. Holding the side of his head with the other hand grabbing the door frame out of stress.

Shushes and pats were showered upon the two soothing them to calm down. Able to reason with them it was smooth progress, unlike the others thankfully. More visits from Toriel and the rest to you and Grillby. Over a specific thing, that is the relationship.

Your two friends begin to repeat the same behavior from everyone else telling you just to do it.

Although much to many disappoint the relationship is a slow-burning one. Taking steps and approaching the entire thing is not a rocky ride of some sorts. And indeed it helped both of you understand each other more. Able to maintain a stable connection it took years until marriage had finally arrived.

It occurred with the ring being presented at a party at Grillby's for it is the store's anniversary that was also the same day you two met. Oddly enough. The first anniversaries were not celebrated dramatically due to his humble approach, but parties at the restaurant begin appearing after you came to the picture. Wanting to share the happiness he felt having you by his side.

Everyone is making their cheers for another successful year and the couple's relationship. He didn't do the traditional way of proposing. All he did is wrap his arm around your waist and calmly asks you, 'Will you marry me?' Staring at the box that held the ring and at the face of your lover. You smiled covering your face while burying into his shoulder in embarrassment saying yes.

The shock factor resulted in a gasp then following with a roar of excitement and applause. You hear Undyne at nearby table shouting to see her pumping her fists in the air the saying, "IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME!"

A few cried, and some went bawling. That is Papyrus and Holly. Holly ran to you overjoyed with Dawn getting red in his eye. You and Grillby hugged them both. Many hugs are given everyone needed a hug. It's already too long being together the two are now married finally.

After the first year of marriage jokes from the past have becomes a normal occurrence. To things like 'don't burn your shirt' to 'Please behave' especially in the kitchen where the couple is currently at. Still, you love him. But in revenge, you pinched his nose. Taking him back, the question why you did said action.

As smooth as you can reply said, "You're too adorable. How can I not resist my fiery passion?"

Of course, the lovey-dovey moments are on full display for all to see making those squirms of sweetness to become cavities in an instance for many.

Grillby sighed and asked, "How long has it been now that we are married?"

"I believe it is eight years?" Finishing up cleaning the last dish in the sink. Turned to see Grillby now at the table watches you smiling in content.

"That long? It felt like a few days ago."

"Yes, that happens." The now stable human drys their hands off before taking a seat with friendly fire.

"Don't say it like that."

"Well look who's talking. That is always the way you speak to everyone." Crossing your arms as your expression turned sour.

"(Y/N), no. You see, I can not help it."

The moment he tries to defend himself, you let out a chuckle.

"No! Grillby! Don't be sad! I'm joking!"
Trying to suppress the bubbling laughter your partner stood up approaching you.

"What are you-, " the question is cut off from a finger jabbing the side. Cracking out a giggle. More pokes and prodding attacks your belly. You shouted in surprise begging him to stop apologizing for what occurred earlier. Grillby did not stop said a simple no continues tickling as he laughs along.
