Cold Fire (Grillby x Monster reader)

-A Warm Welcome and a Bonely Encounter-

The warmth and comfort that this place gave off was absolutely mesmerising, i could feel the pure heat and safety this place gave off rush through my soul, hitting me like a bullet. What was happening? Why did i feel like i belonged here...? its like i was meant to come here... my eyes traced every detail this place showed off starting with the shelf holding the numerous amounts of alcohol along behind the bar, to the neon lit sign spelling 'Grillby's' with a neon cocktail being held by the tail of the Y above the music box. Even if this place was indeed a bar where people could sit and drink their problems or achievements away, it didnt bother me in the slightest. i walked towards the bar taking a seat on the far right leaving an empty space free on my left.

i hadnt done much today, barely enough to be considered 'tiring' and yet i still felt the stress and anxiety leave my body. After a few minutes of sitting there i heard the back door behind the bar open and close before the rooms temperature increased. My shoulders slumped further as i relished the warmth of this place, i had never felt this safe before and i sure as hell was savouring it. "Hello. Are you new to Snowdin? i havent seen you here before." A deep and smooth voice spoke out. i looked up at the person who spoke to me and immediately froze. A..a Fire BEING?!?!? i stared at him for a few seconds in pure shock, this man could kill me with less that a flick of the wrist. Every instinct in my body told me to run, to run as far away and hide in your room until you forgot that this man ever existed before i reminded myself of the gift Shyren gave me this morning. He couldn't hurt me...but i could still hurt him. that thought alone my my soul basically twist itself in pain. The hell is going on with me all of a sudden. "No ive come to Snowdin before, but that was a long time ago, i dont think this place was open back then, if i can remember correctly." i looked at him intently after managing to snap out of my thoughts, studying his appearance closer. Even if he was a fire being i noticed that his entire complexion, his entire being, looked extremely soft and very unthreatening. the way the flames acting as his hear at the top of his head rose the moment i responded, and how his cheeks brightened along with it. His glasses sat perfectly on his face and if you looked close enough you could see two brilliantly bright irises shining through them. finally his bartender outfit sat tightly against his form discretely showing some muscle peaking through. in conclusion this man very VERY attractive and my eyes refused to look away from him. "A-ah well i did open up shop a little less than a year ago so it is very possible that it was not open yet." i could feel my face bubble up with heat the longer i talked to him, his voice was just so smooth and with how gently he talked, i could just melt right here and now.

"Hey Grillby! give me another one!" i was snaped out of my daze as a costumer on the other end of the bar called for him, "Ill be right back, would you like anything to drink?" a fluttering feeling made its way into my chest. Asking me just as gently as before, no tone of urgency or impatience clear in his voice. "Yes could i have some bourbon please?" i responded just as gently seeing a small smile rise on his face as i did so. he walked away to take care of the impatience and frankly quite rude customer sitting horizontal to me, giving me time to think about what was going on with me, and potentially even over analyse the situation because why the hell not. my plan was cut short...extremely short...as a small skeleton sat right next to me, a lazy and fake smile on his skull. "heya kid you here for a drink?" i looked at him and giggled a little...this guy....was wearing pink slippers. "yes i am, although i'm very far from being a kid. what about you? what are you here for?" i responded my voice full of humour, a more sincere smile appeared on his face and his whole composure seemed more relaxed and calm than previous. "tibia honest, i just sat over here because you seemed a little bonely." i spotted all movement in my body before turning so that i sat facing him. He stayed in the same position elbows resting on the bar a bottle of Ketchup? in his right hand. "you. Mr. Are so on."
