Faded Wings [Birdtale Sans x Reader]

Chapter 33- The Shadow

"Daddy," Skyla beamed as she let go of you, running towards the shadow of a man in the doorway with open arms. You stumbled a bit forward before catching yourself. You didn't even realize that she was the only thing holding you up until she let go.

"Hey, princess," the shadow smiled as he scooped her and lifted her up into a hug. Showering her in kisses, making her giggle and laugh. While you stood in the middle of the path, alone and quiet. Watching them in slight envy...

"I was so worried about you two," the shadow lied as he kissed her forehead one last time. Hinting towards you that he only cared about her. "Where were you guys," he asked glancing at you with an icy stare with his dark forest green eyes. Quickly you dropped your eyes to your black combat boots. Staring at your laces and the scuffs on your shoes while you tried to think of something.

"W- W- Well we were-"

"Oh we were hanging out with [Y/N]'s friends," Skyla answered cutting you off. You froze.

"Really," the shadow sneered lowly. You instantly felt your blood run cold. All of the happiness and joy you felt before was simply flying away in your darkening sky. You weren't supposed to have fun nor have 'friends'. And you sure as hell weren't supposed to hang out with them.

"Yeah, their really nice," Skyla continued unknowingly increasing your impending doom. As they went inside, you following them silently. Closing the door behind, shutting your only escape. "Like Papyrus he is really fun," Skyla explained telling your father about each of your 'friends'. Sitting on the couch in your father's lap, while you sat on the recliner. Never fully relaxing as the shadow 'calmly' listened to everything. Yet, you could see through his act...

He was beyond pissed.

Skyla told the shadow about the fun you guys had at Grillbys. Not to mention, how you walked with sans every day to school after she got on the bus--it became a thing. She told him about how they got you to leave work early. As well as how they would chill with you guys during gym class every now and again. She told him everything, making you inch deeper into the worn-out seat. Knowing how much trouble you were going to be in, however, you were safe from one thing. Even though your sister told him about the talks and the games you guys played. She didn't mention a single word about a specific thing...

She never told him that your 'friends' were monsters.

You see, the shadow was a major monster hater. He believed that they were the scum of the earth. He would join every protest that he came across--even if it meant that he would be late to work. He would openly insult and ridicule a monster and their children. One time, he even spat on one, however, you were the only one who knew other than the poor monster. You watched as they tried to tell the police but was simply ignored. He hated their existence. Maybe even more than your own. Which says a lot...

A LOT!

"So yeah that's all of them," Skyla ended a hundred percent innocent. If only she knew...

"Huh, it sounds like you've had a lot of fun with them," the shadow quipped sharply clenching his jaw slightly.

"Yup," Skyla answered kicking her feet as she sat on the sofa. Flashing the shadow a bright closed eye smile, however, it was ignored. The shadow stared at you, brows lowered and drawn together and lips pressed firmly together. Oh Shit, you thought as alarm bells instantly began to ring in your head.

"How about you [Y/N]," he questioned daringly with an arched brow. Already knowing the answer to his question.

You quickly went over your options. If you told the truth, he would've flipped. You have been told repeatedly that you didn't deserve happiness or fun. Meaning that you purposely disobeyed orders, which was bad. He always poured beer over you during those nights. If you lied, he would've flipped more. He always knew when you were lying and has repeatedly beaten you about it, claiming that it was wrong to lie to him. The whipping and beating always seemed to burn more those nights. If you stayed silent, he would've flipped even more. According to him, the silence was another form of disrespect. You always needed to answer when spoken to or it would be rude. He would pull more feathers out of your back those nights.

There wasn't a safe option...

You were going to get hurt no matter what...

"Ye-"

"Oh before I forget," Skyla exclaimed. Causing everyone to jump from the sudden intrusion, quickly turning towards her. "[Y/N]'s school is having a flying performance tomorrow! I was wondering if we all could go as a family," she coaxed the shadow. Who was slightly pissed at her for cutting you off--which you quietly thanked her for, the second time today--and for making such a stupid suggestion. The shadow never attended these types of things, especially flying performances.

"But sweetheart I got stuff to do tomorrow," the shadow debated.

"Please daddy," she pleaded with her hands folded in front of her, "I want to spend time with both of you." Flashing her puppy dogs at him with a pout. The shadow sighed loudly as he ran his large hand through his long [h/c] hair. Looking off at the chipped white wall, thinking. You, however, already knew the answer. It was going to be a big fat n-

"Fine," the shadow said.

"Really," Skyla asked as she began to shake in excitement. The shadow simply nodded as Skyla launched onto him. Screaming a bunch of 'thank yous' and 'i love yous'. Yet, you sat there wide-eyed with your mouth open. You were having a mental breakdown, shutting the outside world out. He said yes. He fucking said yes! But that can't be he always says no! Every year it's no! Why is it any different no-

When suddenly it hit you...

Literally.

A/N

I'm sorry for the really late chapter! I just started the online schooling this week and last weekend was filled with google hangouts from my teachers. Not to mention, that I had to help my parents a lot with my baby brother. Due to them stressing a lot about the virus and money and other shit. So, I didn't have enough time to finish the chapter before the usual update time.

I hope everyone is okay and safe during this time right now. Please stay safe and practice good hygiene! If anyone needs someone to talk to, I have no problem chatting with anyone!

Have a great day and be you boo!
