Soulmates (US!Papyrus x Reader) [COMPLETED]

1 || A Note For Caleb

I helped Caleb finish up his grueling math homework a few hours ago. It's ridiculous what they're making kids do these days, he's only twelve.

After we completed it, we both got cozy on the couch and watched Caleb's favorite movie. He ate all the popcorn again...

Once the movie was done, my brother and I went upstairs for bed and turned out the lights.

The crickets outside of my window chirp loudly and I sneak a glance outside.

A few fireflies twinkle in the darkness, drifting around in a little circle in our large backyard. The starry night sky shines brightly, my (e/c) eyes widen at the beautiful scene. Since Caleb and I live in the country, the stars really stand out.

A full moon glows in the middle of the sky, casting its pale light upon the earth. It illuminates the apple trees in our yard, which haven't fully bloomed. The old wooden bench my dad built gleams proudly next to a rusty wheelbarrow. I lean on my windowsill and sigh, grateful for the many acres of land my parents left us.

I think of the time my mom slipped in a mud puddle when she was picking apples and giggle slightly.

The look on her face was priceless...Dad was doubled over with laughter.

I remember when Dad built that wooden bench and sat baby Caleb down on it. A gentle smile forms on my lips and my vision blurs a bit.

Dad carved Caleb's name into the seat with his pocketknife. He was so proud of that.

My happy memories slowly morph into sad ones and a few tears streak down my face. I try to wipe them away, but more just take their place.

"If only Mom and D-Dad could see how smart their baby boy is," I say quietly, my voice unsteady, "they'd be so p-proud of him...so proud," I sniffle and make my way over to my bed, collapsing into the soft mattress and clinging to my pillow. My body shakes with silent, uncontrollable sobs.

"I miss them s-so much..." I whimper, my voice muffled by my pillow. I lay on my bed for quite a while, drowning in my misery and despair. Eventually, my tears run dry. When they do, I sit up slowly and reach for the tissue box on my bedside table. I blow my nose quietly then throw the tissue away.

With a heavy sigh, I flick off my light and burrow under my sheets, ready to disappear in dreamland. Just as I close my eyes, however, my thoughts interrupt me.

What is that strange feeling in my soul?

It's never done this before, is something wrong?

I just feel so attached to whatever this is...like I need to go to it.

I shoot up in my bed and switch my bedside lamp on. Taking a deep breath, I run my fingers through my hair and close my eyes.

"Just ignore it, (Y/N)," I mutter, "it's probably nothing," My hands fall to my sides and I huff.

"Oh, who am I kidding. This is obviously something..." I say. My legs swing over the side of my bed and I think for a moment. Suddenly, I feel a spark in my chest, causing me to jolt in surprise.

I stare down at my hands and see that they're glowing with white energy...without me summoning any. I furrow my brow in confusion.

"What in the world..." I mumble, observing my hands curiously. My fingertips all pulse gently with energy, this has never happened to me in all ten years of having my abilities.

The real shocker is when my wings materialize.

They flutter open on my back, startling me. Even out of the corners of my eyes, I can still see them due to the twelve foot wing span.
