My Little Mutt (FS!Papyrus x Female!Reader)

Chapter 6- You Need Help..

Writer~Chan: Sup? Here comes another part. That way I don't leave it on the worst cliffhanger. ;w; Anyway, this takes part a few days after the last chapter so it is a small time skip. Enjoy!

(~Your POV~)

I wasn't really sure about how long I have been stuck in this cave, maybe two or three days. The only way I know is because of what Papyrus had told me, about how long it would take my arm to fully heal. My arm isn't sore anymore so that is the biggest piece of evidence. The second is that I'm super hungry! My stomach was in knots earlier and I feel nauseous, so much that I never really moved. I just sat on the floor against the wall, and rationed the rest of my food and water. When that was gone, I sat there and hoped for the best.

'How is Papyrus doing?'

I constantly asked myself that question over and over. I only knew the guy for a day yet I found myself excessively worrying about him.

'No one deserves to be treated like that...'

Not gonna lie, I miss his company. Being trapped in here.. It's super lonely. Plus, its beyond freezing! I don't know what's worse, dying of dehydration or hypothermia, because that was the only two options at this point. I would leave if I could but the boulder is too large for me to move.

'It didn't even budge.'

Unexpectedly, Papyrus popped out of nowhere. He stood there for a minute.

'Probably looking at how I'm a mess.'

His expression showed shock, maybe sympathy, or shame, couldn't really tell. Maybe it's all three. Quickly walking over, he mutters, "H-H-Hey.." All the memories of what happened before is still fresh in my mind. The fighting, the fear in Papyrus' voice, that horrible snap followed by his screams. I look away from him and tightly grab at my arms, fighting back my tears. He sat down in front of me with a face as if he already knew what was going on inside my head, "A-Are you o-o-okay?" It went awkward. I don't know how to answer him.

'I tell him yes, it would be a lie. How could I just ignore what happened?! I say no, then it would make me feel worse. I can't set this aside....'

"What did he do to you?" I finally manage to make myself look at him. Papyrus glances down, softly saying, "D-Don't worry a-a-about it." ... "Let me repeat myself Papyrus and I'm not going to say it again." My tone darkens, pausing after saying each word, "What. Did. He. Do?" I must've scared him a bit because Papyrus started shaking, trembling even. "You're hurt, aren't you." I clearly stated. He slipped off his jacket, revealing his arms. One out of the two main bones in his right forearm, the ulna to be more specific, was fractured. Snapped apart into two pieces but the joints kept the bone still.(Writer~San: I think it's called it an "isolated ulna shaft fracture" for anyone that wants to research it or find pictures. XD)

'Oh my god.'

Almost by reflex, I gasp and my hand covered my mouth. Chills went down my spine as I say, "Y'know you can't-.." I had to stop and look away, taking a deep breath. One of my friends had broken a bone before. We were playing tag while running through the woods in my backyard. She fell, must've landed wrong. She screamed and cried, laying there before I finally realized something was wrong. Later, my mom told me she had broke her arm. However, you can't really tell with muscles and skin.

'THIS, I can CLEARLY see.'

I looked at Papyrus again, shakily having to repeat myself, "You know you can't leave it like that. Can't you just heal it like you did before?" He replied, "I-I can't heal m-myself."

'Kinda makes sense but at the same time, it definitely doesn't.'

I grab my backpack and start to search through it. Eventually I found my small first aid kit and pulled it out. When going hiking, it's always good to bring one with you, just in case. I never expected I would actually have to use it.

'At least it's being put to good use.'

"Sit against the wall please." I said as I looked for a bandage roll. When I noticed Papyrus didn't move, I groaned, "Look, I don't want to do this either but you're making this harder for the both of us. Do I have to ask again or must I pin you against the wall instead?" We both stared at each other for a second, I felt my face heat up from embarrassment.

'Did I really just imply pinning him on the wall..?'

Papyrus just muttered a simple "okay" before doing as he was told. I was cold, hungry, and exhausted but I finally got up off my butt and positioned myself in front of him.

'What the heck am I doing?! I'm NOT a doctor!'

"This has to be similar to a dislocated shoulder, right? All I have to do is snap the two pieces into place and wrap it... Right Papyrus?" I look at him, really needing some support. I honestly have no idea what I'm supposed to do. I can barely manage to look at it, now I have to touch it! He has barely spoke at all, which is giving me more anxiety. Out of desperation and panic, I close my eyes and scream, "PLeAsE SaY SOMETHING!" I sat there in silence as my voice echoed off the cave walls. Suddenly, I felt his other arm wrap around me, pulling me close to him. In that moment, I felt my tears roll down my cheeks. I can't hold myself back from crying more, "I'm sorry Papyrus. The reason he hurt you is because of me." "D-Don't say that." He hugs me tighter. Then, he suggested, "If y-y-you w-want to h-help, just snap the t-t-two pieces in p-p-place. You don't h-h-have to look or d-do a-anything else. I-I can handle the b-bandaging." I took a deep breath and nodded.

'Alright.. it's now or never.'

Writer~San: AYYYYY, 1000 words! Also, I think I'll be writing two parts today. Hope that can make up for how long I've been gone ;w; cya
