The Sound of Laughter || An Epic x Cross Shipbook

1 || The Mistake

A/N: Hey, guys! If you're wondering why I made this a Cross x Epic book I will tell you. I did cuz . . . NO ONE ELSE WRITES THIS SHIP IN BOOKSSSSS!!! I ONLY SAW AND READ LIKE THREE OF THEM AND THEY WEREN'T EVEN COMPLETED OR NOTICED AS DISCONTINUED!!!

And lastly because I feel like they're platonic relationship with each other in the comics has potential if you add some substance!! Don't sue me for it! Okay, you can start reading my book now! :D

-chapter 1 begin-

Epic's POV

          "Oof." I unenthusiastically exclaimed as my head hit the floor with a thud. "Bruhh, why do i have to wake up like this??" I ranted to myself as I sat up on the wooden floors of my house. As I was about to take out my phone to save some memes from Pinterest and Reddit, my brother, Papyrus came down the stairs in a rush.

          "SANS! I'VE BEEN WAITING ALL DAY FOR YOUR LAZY ASS TO WAKE UP AND DONT YOU DARE START SEARCHING FOR MEM-" Papyrus screeched at me, pausing with a very confused expression. "Uhh, why d'ya stop?" I asked him cluelessly. "JEEZ, BROTHER! CANT YOU GET ANY LESS ATTENTIVE? JUST LOOK AT THE COUCH FOR HECK'S SAKE." he responded, screeching like before.

          "Okay, okay, my bruh." I replied as I turned around to see another skeleton dressed in monochrome clothes in a sadly really uncomfortable position on the couch. "Huh. He must be the bruh who made this place reek of alchohol. . ." I realized. "BROTHER, YOU HYPOCRITE! YOU SMELL OF ALCHOHOL!"my bro complained. "Hey, hey, dont ruin his sleep. That's pretty rude, my bruh-ther." I smiled, winking at him. "UGH, JUST STOP PESTERING ME WITH YOUR HORRIBLE PUNS, SANS!" he looked at me, cringing at the fact we were related. "Besides, this bruh must've been misplaced by Ink cuz he was pretty bad after that drinking contest. . ." I muttered to myself. 

         Papyrus demanded as he stomped his way up the stairs into his room, " GO TAKE  BATH ALREADY, SANS! YOU STINK THIS PLACE WORSE THAN FOX!" "Okay, okay. Fine, bruh. Just lemme save some mem-" I replied to him as I was about to open Pinterest. "NO, BROTHER! NO DELAYS! I CAN SMELL YOU FROM HERE AND IM WEARING MY SCARF ON MY FACE FOR GOODNESS SAKE!" Papyrus screeched from his room.

          I rolled my eyes and put my phone on the small table next to the left armrest of the couch. I looked at the passed out stranger one last time before I went upstairs. "Sorry, for the trouble, my bruh." 

~timeskip cuz no one wants to see a bath scene ofc~

          I dressed up in my locked room, wearing my daily unreplacable clothes; a gray sweater, purple coat (basically the old design), and shorts. I checked my jacket pockets, but was not able to find my phone. 'I guess, I'll have to find it later . . . I'll go down for now.'  I thought. I wore my socks and slippers and went down the flight of stairs to see my phone held by the black and white bruh. 

          He didn't seem to notice me go down so I sneaked behind the spot he was sitting on. I saw he was swiping through my Pinterest recommendations for some reason. "Boo." I said bluntly as he fell, surprised. "What the-" he shrieked before falling on the floor.  "Hey, bruh. Whatcha got there?" I asked, looking at my newly dirtied phone. "Oh uh, sorry for that. I couldn't find my phone anywhere and I got kinda bored . . ." the stranger reasoned, picking up my cellphone and handing it over to me. 

          I brought out my hand and took my phone back into my right-hand pocket. "Nah, dun' worry, bruh. I look intimidating to some people when I haven't eaten cookies yet." I shrugged off as I went to the refrigerator to see if there were leftover cookies. There weren't any leftovers, only crumbs on a plate. "Aww man." I sighed, defeated by me from yesterday morning who ate the cookies. "Erm, the name is Cross, by the way . . ." he introduced himself. I turned around to see him scratching the back of his head, looking elsewhere. 

"And the name's Epic."
