A multiverse in ruins

Chapter 16:Pathetic and Promises

Red's POV

I wake up and go to Sans' room to wish him good morning, but his room is empty. There's just a bottle of ketchup on a desk. I turn and leave the room. I go to get some mustard from the fridge and find Papyrus sitting on the couch, sipping a mug. He is reading a small note, then looks up at me.

"Were you looking for my brother?"He asks

I nod.

"You won't find him here. He left a while ago according to this note."He tells me

"What? What do you mean he left?"I ask

"Relax, he left a note like he usually does. He was going for a walk it says and will be back soon. Man, you get worried about my brother easily. I guess that's a good thing with his hp and the fact that he can be a lazybones...."He says

I nervously chuckle and nod. I go to the fridge and get some mustard. I sit down and he looks at me.

"You drink mustard. Interesting...."He says

I look at him.

"Sorry if this is weird, but this is my first time out of my world. These differences are interesting to me."He says

"Heh, ya. I know."I tell him

"What did you mean when you said my brother was yours? Quote:He's mine, end quote?"He asks

"Emm, well.....He uh, I em, ehh...."I say, trying to think of an answer

"Has there been trouble?"He asks

"People try to cause it with him by coming to the door. But nothing serious."I say to keep him from worrying

"Ah, well thank you for keeping my brother safe. Or your crush."He says

I spat out my mustard in surprise.

"How could you tell?!"I ask

"Oh come on, you live with him. You protect him even though you come from a world where it really is kill or be killed or anyone for themself, one of the most dangerous worlds. The only love known there is level of violence, and you show him a lot of the other kind. And you have 1 hp like him, yet put yourself in harm's way to keep him safe and get him inside. Also, you got very nervous about a simple question. You're blushing right now too."He explains

I feel my face burn up.

"Hey, relax. It's okay. I, the Great Papyrus, support you. Besides, what year is it? You're not alone with those emotions. And, I think you and my brother would be just fine. Does he know?"He asks

"Yes, he does. And I've asked him if the feelings are returned."I tell him

"So you found out he's gay too?"He asks

I nod.

"Do you know who he likes?"He asks

"He wouldn't tell me."I reply

"Nyehehehe, well then, Sans was good at keeping secrets."He says

"Why do you say that?"I ask

"I cannot say. I like my brother happy and he would not be happy if I told you behind his back."He says

There's a ding. Papyrus takes out his phone.

"Oh! It's from brother! Nyeh, probably just some more puns or jokes. Nyehehe.....Wait, okay. Something is not right here...."He says

"What?"I ask

"There isn't a single joke or pun in this message. He always puts at least one in. And he never called me Brother Papyrus. Whoever sent this is not my brother. I'm gonna go find him."He says
