Reading into it

Summary: A person of interest fanfic where Finch finds out what Reese likes to read in his spare time. He's pleasantly surprised. (this is a pre-relationship story, with implied feelings and it is heavily implied that Finch and Reese are both mlm)

Warnings: none

Thank you to @nebula-gaster for beta reading this!

Harold tried not to sigh as he heard the quiet click of a gun being cocked. “You know, Mr. Reese, that weapon seems thoroughly cleaned to me. I don’t think you need to make another pass.”

John looked up at the sound of his last name, tilting his head a bit. “Am I bothering you, Harold?”

Harold smiled awkwardly, looking back down at his computer. “A bit, yes. I know these firewall updates can be rather dull, but you really should find something else to occupy your free time. I thought a book could be a good distraction, considering we are in a library.”

John smiled at him, that little pleased smile he got when Harold didn't know something. “I’m not sure you’ll have what I like to read.”

“Well, we have quite a selection of books. Even if you aren’t interested in nonfiction, we have a robust collection of various genres. I can help you find what you’re looking for,” Harold said. He doubted John knew how to work a card catalogue, and he was interested to know what John thought could be so obscure that his library wouldn’t carry it.

“No thanks.” John seemed a bit tense, standing up and putting the gun back in its proper drawer in the filing cabinet. “I’ll go find something to read on my own. Let me know if we get a new number.”

He walked away quickly. By the time Harold had managed to grab his cane and push himself up out of his chair, John had disappeared down one of the many hallways. Harold stared after him for a moment, but thought better of it. Constant surveillance aside, he could give John a bit of privacy if he wanted it.

—X—X—

The granola bars in Harold’s desk could only tide him over for so long. Six hours and thirteen minutes after John had left, Harold was getting hungry. The update was going well, and he could spare a few minutes to go ask John what he wanted to eat for dinner.

His back was aching from sitting in the chair for so long, and he winced as he slowly straightened up. He rubbed his back absent-mindedly, then reached for his phone. It wasn't as robust as the Machine, but he had designed a small security system for his library. He pulled up the infrared view of the building. He felt a bit guilty, but he didn’t have any interest in wandering around the stacks, calling John’s name like he was a lost dog.

There was a heat disturbance on one of the lower floors, a sub-basement Harold didn’t think he had even shown John. Harold was using it for storage, though he couldn’t remember what exactly he had put down there. Maybe John had just wandered down there for a nap. Given how promptly he answered the phone whenever Harold called, it made sense that he would need to catch up on sleep.

His cane echoed loudly against the wooden floors as he walked over to the elevator. A long time ago he might have found it eerie, but the reminder that he was still alone was more reassuring. After all, a legally dead man can’t exactly have a lot of friends.

The elevator was rattling a bit more than usual, jostling Harold uncomfortably as it carried him down. Maybe he should ask John to take a look at it… Harold knew John had some mechanical capabilities, and his own specialty laid in software engineering. Perhaps he would ask him over dinner.

Harold knocked twice as a courtesy, then opened the door. “Hello John, I hope I’m not disturbing you. I was wondering—” He cut himself off, just staring at John.

John was sitting on a ratty-looking grey sofa, his feet propped up on the edge of a box of books. His hand was almost entirely covering the cover of the book, but Harold still recognized the shirtless man on the cover. He'd read that book before, a very long time ago, but he’d packed it away in a box with all of his other gay romance books. He'd always been careful to keep this collection separate, reluctant to trust anyone with that part of his identity.

But John had managed to find them. He turned the book over so the cover was face-down, resting one hand over it firmly as if Harold would try to wrestle it from him. Harold wasn’t very good at reading people, but even he could see the alarm in John’s eyes. He wasn’t trying to bait Harold into exposing his identity; he was reading the book for himself.

“Pulp romance novels?” Harold managed, dancing around the subject as best he could.

John nodded, taking his feet off the box and sitting up straight. “It’s something I don’t have to think too hard about. They’re relaxing to read.”

That made sense. Harold enjoyed challenging his mind with new puzzles and complicated stories, but he knew he was in the minority. With John’s military background, having something you could pick up and put down at random was probably quite useful.

Harold walked over to the couch. John sat up straighter, pressing the book a bit harder into the couch. Harold sat on the other side, so the book was between them.

“Please don’t crush that.” Harold tapped the back of John’s hand.

“Sorry.” John pulled his hand back, resting it stiffly on his thigh.

Harold picked up the book and smoothed out the back cover out of habit. Paperbacks were so easy to damage, and the gay pulp Harold had managed to get his hands on was particularly fragile. They were printed in a budget, and it showed. Once he’d fixed it as much as he could he passed the book back to John, who quickly put it back into the box.

They sat in silence for a minute, each staring straight ahead. Harold wanted to ask, but he knew it wasn’t any of his business. He’d never been very involved in the community, so he wasn’t quite sure how to subtly let John know that it was alright. John’s hands were resting in his lap, looking stiffer than he had been in quite a long time.

Harold took a deep breath, and finally spoke. “If you enjoy these, I happen to have a few original copies of John Preston upstairs. They’re a bit fragile, but if you promise to treat them with respect I can lend them to you.”

John turned to look at him, and Harold was struck by the small half-smile on his face. They were already perilously close, and Harold felt a selfish desire to keep John’s close to him. He swallowed, hoping his anxiety wasn’t too palpable.

“That would be nice. Thanks, Harold.” John hesitantly extended one hand, and when Harold didn’t flinch away he patted his shoulder twice. It was an awkward and rather rough gesture, but at least it was genuine.

“It’s no problem, John. Please let me know what you think of them.” Harold wanted to add something else, but he wasn’t quite sure what to say. He supposed it didn’t matter too much; they would certainly have more time together while working on cases. For tonight, just sitting next to each other in silent understanding an acceptance was enough. He waited a moment longer, savouring the feeling before finally getting their conversation back on track. “So, would you like pizza or Thai for supper?”

Multiverse Sans [v1.4.2] (Updated 5/17/2019)

Hello! Welcome to ukagaka ghost Multiverse Sans v1.4.2! *Earlier versions can still Network Update for the latest patch.

(download latest ghost .nar) (download balloon .nar)

Install the custom Sans & Papyrus Font balloon before booting up MVSans and he’ll automatically use the correct one!

Ghost Installation Instructions

What is an ukagaka ghost? A ghost is a character who lives on your desktop and talks to you, and has various levels of interactivity. MVSans is effectively an AI, with visual novel aspects involving Papyrus phone calls. He recognizes other ghosts (mostly Undertale ukagaka) and will occasionally comment on them or have a special event. 

Check the Dev Plan for future updates. Make sure to run Network Updates regularly for smaller frequent patches! Dev builds might be a little wonky but you'll be notified upon download what to look out for.

Features:

Many ghost developers are satisfied to give their ghost a shell and some random dialogue and call it a day. That’s not me. MVSans is not designed as a passive ghost, though he has enough dialogue to fill that role if it’s all you want. He’s programmed to learn and have feelings and opinions about you, depending on how you treat him. Once he gets to know you, his demeanor and conversations will change accordingly. He gets very salty when you ruin his knock-knock jokes and will even counter-troll YOU if ya keep it up. In the future he may notice and comment on sudden changes in your behavior. See Player Traits section for details.

MVSans’ dialogue has a robust architecture that modifies even the most common phrases into a slightly different message every time, just like a real person’s conversation. Since multiple AUs are supported, care has been taken to acknowledge the dialect and lexicon differences of each universe. Unlike classic and geno Sans, UF!Sans likes mustard, swearing, and refers to Paps as Boss. The differences run much deeper than these examples, check this dialect comparison:

↑ That’s the same line of dialogue, different dialect.

Clothing:

MVSans currently has three “Clothing” items. A Sansta hat, the Dapperblook hat, and an unlockable tongue. The tongue's an optional piece because not everyone wants their skele to have a tongue. The Dapperblook hat was an April Fools Day exclusive event reward. 

Shells:

Multiverse Sans has 5 AUs and 6 shells supported. You can change shells via his Options Menu or the right-click menu. Multiverse Sans aims to support as many AUs as possibly. View this post for information on shell submission guidelines, and a poll to vote on the next shell's AU.

Hitboxes:

MVSans has 4 hitboxes with 3 types of interactions; Double-clicks, rubbing the pointer, and mousewheel. Double-clicking on a non-hitbox will pull up his Main Menu. 

Head - Stroke his head repeatedly to pet him. * skeles love pets! 

Face - It’s rude to put your fingers in someone’s face holes.  * no booping either, bucko.

Ribs - Tickling is good silly fun, but not too much!  * i need to breathe too, kid.

Bonezone - That’s a private place, ya pervs.  * sorry pal, bonezone’s closed. 

↓Tickling messages escalate as he approaches his limit! 

↑ Give him a sec to breathe!

Main Menu: 

Open the main menu by double-clicking a non-hitbox zone. The first 1-2 options prompt his standard random dialogue. You can ask for a knock-knock joke, or a thinly veiled threat from the BudTime Generator. Ruining his knock-knock jokes makes him salty!

BudTime Generator  Based on the hilarious “hey there buddy chum pal” meme, Sans will generate a whole randomized paragraph of glorious passive-aggressive threat dialogue for you. There are over 200 variants on “crummy juncture”/”bad time” alone!

Self-Care Advice Having a bad day? Tell Sans what’s on your mind and he’ll try to cheer you up. This feature is courtesy of @huskalis and their Geno Sans ukagaka that I used as the base for MVSans. 

Compliment and Thank Sans  Tell Sans he’s cute, and thank him for all his hard work sitting on your desktop. These functions are courtesy of @characteroulette via their Sans & Papyrus duo ghost, one of my favorite ghosts to this day.

User Config, Sans Options, System Functions  Check status and adjust settings for yourself and Sans. Check email, run updates, and User Reports from Functions. 

User Reports: 

 Once they’re unlocked, you’ll be able to screenshot a set of menus and send them to me to give me information on how people play with MVSans, since I have no idea how most people use him. Getting this information is important for balancing the weight of actions for determining Player Traits!

Player Traits & Sans Mood/Relationship: 

The way you interact with Sans affects your Player Traits, which are stats that describe what Sans thinks of you as a person. You can check your dominant and secondary traits under the User Config menu. Player Traits include: Sweet, Rude, Silly, Naughty. This post has more detailed information on these stats. 

Player Traits:

Sweet - If you treat him nicely (mainly through pets, and confiding your worries in him), he’ll comment about how sweet you are and that you deserve hugs and other kind things. Rude - If you poke him in the eyes, tickle him beyond what he’s comfortable, repeatedly ruin his jokes, and other impolite things, he’ll consider you pretty rude and be equally irritable with you. He’s likely to drop lowkey death threats and other dark humor. Silly - Tickling him and asking for jokes a lot tells him you’re very silly, and since you’re so goofy he’ll share some jokes he saves only for his best audiences. Naughty - If you keep going after the bonezone, or barrage him with pickup lines, he’ll consider you pretty naughty and tell you as such. He’ll tell you dirty jokes you wouldn’t otherwise hear, since your mind is apparently in the gutter already.

Sans’ Feelings Stats

Affection (Sweet) – How much Sans cares for you, on a platonic level. —Against his better judgement, he’s started to care about you.

Enmity (Rude) – How upset Sans is with you, or how much of your shit he’s willing to put up with. Contributes to “Bad Mood.”  —Under other circumstances, this human would be having a Very Bad Time.

Humor (Silly) – How entertained Sans is, affects likelihood of pranks and jokes. Contributes to “Good Mood.” —Is he actually having fun, or is he just humoring you?

Amour (Naughty) – How boldly romantic or lewd Sans may feel toward you. (The nature of his attraction varies by traits and Affection stat)  —Papyrus may be onto something with that “secret datemate” idea. 

Your relationship with Sans determines your progression in unlocking content not specific to Traits such as the Papyrus phone calls. Sans’ mood depends on a number of variables, particularly recent interactions. You can check how he’s feeling under the Sans Options menu. 

Installation: 

If you’ve never used a ghost before, you’ll need software first. I recommend using SSP. Ghost guru @zarla-s​ has a great guide written on installing ghosts, and their Gaster ghost is awesome. I highly recommend downloading it.

(download latest ghost .nar) 

(download latest ghost .zip)

Install the custom Sans & Papyrus Font balloon before booting up MVSans and he’ll automatically use the correct one!

(download balloon .nar)

(download balloon .zip)

To install, just drag the .nar or .zip files onto an existing ghost’s face. Right-click to Call Ghost and select him.

Credits 

(aka dear god Ukagaka credits are a friggin spiderweb of sources)

Sans himself belongs to Toby Fox’s @undertale obviously. Additionally, all audio assets are pulled straight from the game. 

@zarla-s is behind PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING UKAGAKA. The core templates, tutorials, and much inspiration is from this talented individual. She created the black Undertale themed balloons that I modified to be proper fonts for Sans & Paps that MVSans uses.  

@gr33nbeen made the original sans ghost, which was based on @zarla-s ghost template. I edited him to have pink slippers and be shirtless. 

My coding started from the Geno Sans ghost by @huskalis which was in turn based on @gr33nbeen Sans ghost. Geno Sans is from @loverofpiggies‘s AfterTale comics. 

I swiped some dialogue (with permission) from @characteroulette‘s Sans & Papyrus duo, which is the Sans of @gr33nbeen and the Papyrus of @cuddlyhawk. It’s @characteroulette‘s fault that MVSans exists because I loved these guys so much I had to make a balloon to give both of them their appropriate font, and then I decided to make my own lil ghostie after having so much fun digging in the code.

Some facts against armor for the final scebe: Armor is pretty bulky. It's just gonna slow Grillby down. Metal armor even if it's chain mail pretty much restricts movement right? Also... uhm....... capes get caught in stuff (just ask Edna Mode "No Capes!) I swear this is not about fan service. I'm not in denial! You are. hahahaha. (Dang... Couldn't even send this off-anon the shame XD)

//loud cackling//Holy shit good shit good point. I mean honestly who needs armor anyway? He's a big scary elemental all the peeps that would hurt him have magic that like kind of ignores armor anyway sometimes right? And i mean just honestly when was the last time he got to just enjoy the breeze?? Let the Firefly enjoy the little things in life!! Free him!! Free him from shirted tyranny!!! Also come on. Think of all the ribbing Gaster could get in if Grillby were running around the finale shirtless. Think of the laughs and goofs. Think of how absolutely fucking appalled Ruke would be!This started out as funny goof-goof giggly sarcasm and now i just want to see Ruke being absolutely scandalized by Grillby saving his feathery ass while shirtless while Gaster cackles maniacally in the background.

[ketchupfriesandfireguys]

First of all, I love your blog, bless this blog. Anyway, what kind of headcanons do you have for Grillby? One of mine's is that he can speak but it's very difficult to understand if you're not used to it (and Sans being one of those people that easily understands him--)

I love your blog too; your art is fantastic and I always try to put all your Sansby content I can onto this blog~

Firstly, I love your speech headcanon - I like that a lot, and it explains why he has translators in his restaurant, and why Sans seems to perfectly understand him without the need for his translator bird monster sitting at the bar!  It also makes his relationship with Sans real special, which I am ALL for!

I wrote out Grillby’s literal entire backstory here, but if you’re looking for just headcanons, skip to the last bit under the cut!

I’m going to separate this into sections because I love Grillby and spend too much time thinking about him, lol.  But here are all my headcanons!  Enjoy!

EARLY LIFE

Thanks to @sushinfood and his fantastic voice acting clips (which can be found here, at @sushistreams​, if you’re interested!), I share the headcanon that Grillby was not born, but summoned, in order to train up and fight in the war against humanity.  He did start out young, and he was at first extremely reluctant to fight in the war - he spent a lot of time training to fight, but was prone to tiring easily and becoming overwhelmed with the future responsibility to fight in an inevitable war.

In between intense training sessions, Grillby was taught by Gerson (the shopkeep in Waterfall) and King Asgore how to cook, as a method of diverting any fears he had into a constructive - as opposed to a destructive - manner.  And since then, he had always wanted to open a restaurant one day, after the war had passed, to keep up the morale of his comrades and friends, and to help his people (and himself) heal.  He also wore fake glasses at this time because he thought they made him look older and more mature.  (They didn’t.)

THE WAR

Grillby was deeply affected by his time as a soldier in the war.  Before the war, he was very talkative and could even be kind of goofy sometimes, similar to the way Papyrus jokes around in-game at times.  Smart jokes and passing comments that take a moment to digest before you have to turn away and snicker to yourself.  He was quite popular as well, being friends with a wide range of monsters - including but not limited to the king and queen, the royal scientist, and most of his fellow soldiers.

One monster in particular he was extremely close to was Sans’ mother, Arial, who was the previous leader of the Royal Guard.  Through a series of very unfortunate events, she perished in the war before Sans was born, and Gaster, Sans’ birth father, managed to save his newborn son.  (That’s a whole crazy story in itself that makes like -500% sense, but just roll with it for now.)

Losing Arial, the leader and front line general in the war, took its toll on the entire Royal Guard, and monsters were forced to retreat shortly after that, losing over half of their entire population - they retreated under the mountain and were sealed there, and the war concluded.

EARLY UNDERGROUND

Grillby, once underground, realized he could actually pursue his early dreams to open a restaurant - it took him a very long time to scrape up the money to do so, but he managed to get enough help to get a small, shabby bar set up in Snowdin.  (As for why he chose Snowdin of all places, he wanted to bring some warmth to such a cold part of the Underground.)  It was many years before it was actually running, let alone at all a popular hangout.

After this rough and straining transition, Grillby had a sharp shift in personality due to a severely negative morale of monsterkind as a whole, and was quite negative while not in his restaurant.  He dressed less formally, and while not on the clock, would smoke outside his restaurant.  (I like to think this was sort of a punk phase, and he may or may not have owned a motorcycle.  Might’ve styled his flames into a ponytail.  Definitely fought with the Canine Unit of the Royal Guard.)

MEETING SANS

Grillby met Sans during this not-punk-phase, during a smoke break.  He was not very keen on speaking with many other monsters (unless, of course, he was picking a fight, as noted above), and he mainly spoke in sign language after the war.  Sans, also knowing sign language, introduced himself, and quickly set up a tab at the restaurant, immediately getting on Grillby’s nerves.  Sans kept the tab open, even if just by 1G, in an attempt to rather smugly get to know Grillby a little more...intimately.

They started out as a sort of flirty “we’re not dating, what are you talking about” sort of couple.  Many of Grillby’s regulars took bets on whether or not they would ever actually date, and to absolutely no one’s surprise, Sans stood up on his stool after having probably one ketchup bottle too many and leaned over the counter and stole a smooch from the then-absolutely-flustered-bartender.

DATING SANS

They dated for a while during this time, even if the relationship was more physical than emotional at first.  As they began spending more time with each other, though, they learned more about one another - Grillby began to speak with Sans without signing, and Sans learned to listen a little harder.  Grillby grew to be a lot more formal as his restaurant grew much more successful over the years.

The two of them stayed in a steady relationship for a long time, until Sans suddenly stopped showing during the day, and only came at night, to either get handsy with him or to pass out miserably after getting absolutely wasted.  This, as one would expect, did not fly well with Grillby.

Grillby was the one who broke things off with Sans, but it was only after a lot of rather passive aggressive fighting that they actually did anything about their wreck of a relationship.  Sans didn’t take it very well, as he was dealing with resets at this time and was in a pretty deep depressive state, and Grillby was angry for a while - the kind of quiet angry that just sort of burns in your gut with a constant ache.

AFTERMATH

After the resets stopped, and monsters managed to get to the surface and stay there, Grillby was the very first monster to fully integrate with humans, because he (of course) had to open up a new restaurant.  Monster currency was worth a lot of human currency, and he could open up a nicer place than he ever could have dreamed of while in the Underground.  And, of course, Sans was one of his first customers there too.

They were tense at first, but there were eventual apologies, and they became extremely close after they were finally freaking honest with each other, who would’ve thought?  They began dating again after that, and they’re super dumb and flirty and punny with each other today!

MISCELLANEOUS HEADCANONS

Grillby lives not with Sans, but with Fuku - who is simultaneously like a younger sister and like a therapy dog to him.  Though, Grillby does stay over with Sans very often, and vice versa.

Grillby suffers from PTSD from his time serving in the war, and because of this, he is afraid of thunder and lightning.  Whenever it storms, Sans teleports over to his place and helps Grillby through it.

Grillby will do extremely un-Grillby-ish things, but only if he’s alone with Sans.  (Ex - screaming profanity after whacking his shin on something, telling the occasional Extremely Dirty/Inappropriate Joke, ugly laughing at something that really isn’t all that funny, etc.)

No one believes Sans when he says Grillby does these things.  Absolutely nobody.

Grillby is actually his last name!  His first name is Kindle.

He hates it.

Sans teases him about it all the time.

Grillby’s flames get brighter with stronger happy or angry emotions, and more dim with sad or upset emotions.

He used to cry a lot when he was younger, but he has sort of learned to repress emotions as he got older.  Sans hates this, despite doing this same exact thing himself.

Despite this, he does have big emotions sometimes!  Sans is usually not there to witness them, unless they come in the form of a panic attack.

Frisk calls him “Uncle Grillby” and won’t leave until he’s picked them up and given them a hug and held them on his hip for a minute or two.  Frisk has Grillby absolutely wrapped around their little finger.

On that same note, Grillby usually doesn’t particularly love children.  Frisk is a definite exception to that rule.

Grillby does need his glasses to see - it wasn’t from any particular incident or anything, though, he just needed them as he got older.

Grillby doesn’t have any teeth!

Despite being a chef, Grillby does not eat normal foods.  He tends to eat things that would kindle a fire!

He eats herbs during the holidays to make his restaurant smell like cinnamon or nutmeg.

If he is shirtless, you can see his soul through his body!

Variegated {Gaster Drabble}

{Day 29 of a 30 Day Dictionary Challenge I’m doing}

Note: The effect of smoking on monsters with no lungs. Or skin. Or any organs at all really (except for the soul). Feat. Gaster

Variegated (adjective): Varied in appearance or color; marked with patches or spots of different colors.

Warning for smoking (at least talking about it)

Gaster didn’t think himself as a vain monster.

Alright, that wasn’t right. He might be a little arrogant depending on who someone asked about it. It wasn’t his fault that he was a genius, with the creativity to put together the projects that were necessary to breaking the barrier. There was no one more suited to the job than W. D. Gaster was.

....

Which was fact, not vanity.

Regardless...

He didn’t care much about his appearance. If his turtleneck was backwards or one of the buttons on his labcoat mismatched, it didn’t matter one bit. There were better things that he could be putting his time into than fretting about his appearance at all times of the day. His work spoke for itself, and people could just deal with how he looked.

And still, as he stood in the bathroom after cleaning up for the night, staring at his shirtless reflection, there was one thing that, perhaps, he might be self conscious about.

The cracks were something he could live with. They were a horrible bitter reminder of the last days on the surface, but still were something that he had learned to live with. Worse than that to him was the discoloration of his once-white ribcage, yellows and browns like some disgusting bruise that stretched over the expanse of his chest.

He passed his hands over each rib. They felt brittle, like they might snap off if he put too much force on one of them.

Smoking did that to him.

Well, Gaster supposed that he did it to himself. He’d been well aware that smoking was horrible for a monster. Breathing in the heady mix of chemicals, allowing it to seep into his magic, and having it turn into a toxic cocktail within his own body an soul could be nothing but terrible. Lungs and organs weren’t needed to suffer the negative effects of cigarettes.

His hand trailed up, brushing over the base of his neck where the motley of yellows and brown had began creeping up his vertebrae. So far his turtlenecks hid it from view--if the king saw the mess his body had become, Gaster was sure that there’d be an intervention--but he didn’t know how much longer that would be the case.

He should quit smoking.

Gaster glanced down at the counter, at the pack of cigarettes he’d fished out of his pocket before taking a shower. It was a fresh pack, only a couple of cigarettes down so far, although he doubted that it would last very long regardless. Research and experimenting and paperwork were stressful, and he needed those passing moments of peace and relief from the hubbub of his everyday life.

He should quit smoking. He probably could do it too. The Royal Scientist had performed harder feats than quitting. It was well within his capabilities to do, he was sure. Asgore would be pleased.

Could, should, can...

He sighed, reaching over to grab a shirt. Pulling it over his head, he picked up the pack and headed out of the bathroom. He was old, wasn’t he? His life likely wouldn’t last much longer no matter what he did. Did it really matter, in the grand scheme of things, what he did to lower his stress levels?

“I NEED A SMOKE.”

Asriel Dreemurr, The Ticklish “Kid” (Chapter 1)

AUTHOR’S NOTE:

Hello everyone! This was the first story I posted on my FurAffinity account. In this story, Chara and Frisk have come up with a plan to tickle Asriel while Toriel isn’t home and they want M.K. (Monster Kid) to help them. Chara claims that Asriel is insanely ticklish and she wants Frisk and M.K. to find out that she is indeed telling the truth. Enjoy! :)

ASRIEL DREEMURR, THE TICKLISH “KID”

Chapter 1: The Plan

Six months have passed since the barrier was destroyed. Monsters now live on the surface, Toriel adopted Frisk, and best of all, Asriel, Chara, and Gaster have all returned. All three of them were given a second chance and they have been making the absolute best of everything. Everything was perfect for Asriel and Chara, except for one thing. Their parents, Asgore and Toriel, are not back together and it’s difficult for them to get back together after being apart for so long. However, when Asriel and Chara came back into their lives, they started speaking to each other again. During one particular week, Asgore, feeling enough time had passed, worked up the courage to ask Toriel spend a night with him (not on a date but as friends). After a bit of hesitation, Toriel agreed to see Asgore the following Saturday. Chara has spent the entire week with Toriel and Frisk while Asriel stayed with Asgore. Toriel has asked Sans to watch the kids while she visits Asgore the following Saturday. Toriel knows that her children are independent and well-behaved, but after losing Asriel and Chara long ago, she worries.

It is a Friday night at Toriel’s house and Frisk and Chara are eagerly waiting for M.K. (Monster Kid) to video chat with them.

Chara: I sure am excited that Mom’s gonna see Dad tomorrow Frisk! And that we’ll get to spend time with Asriel, M.K., and Sans!

Frisk: Do you think it will go well Chara?

Chara: I really hope so Frisk.

Frisk: Yeah me too. What does Asriel have to say about this?

Chara: Not much really. As usual, Asriel just seems to be ok with everything.

Frisk: I wish I could look at all of this the same way he does. I just think too much about Mom and Asgore. I just wish they could be together again. By what I’ve heard, they used to be crazy about each other!

Chara: They absolutely were Frisk! I really hope to see them like that again someday! Oh, and speaking of Asriel, don’t forget about what we have planned for him tomorrow. I just know it will put a smile on his face!

Frisk: Oh absolutely! We gotta tell M.K. about our plan!

It wasn’t too long until M.K. called. A month ago, Alphys made him a pair of robotic arms. M.K. really loves his new arms and he thanked Alphys with a great big hug. Alphys, Undyne, Papyrus, and even Sans taught him how to use his new arms. M.K. spends a lot of time with Alphys, Undyne, Papyrus, and Sans.

M.K.: Yo! How are you guys?

Chara: Even better now that you called!

Frisk: Still enjoying those arms M.K.?

M.K.: I sure am Frisk!

Frisk: How’s everything at Alphys and Undyne’s house?

M.K.: Fun as always! Sans and Papyrus are here too! Sans will be bringing me with him when we come over tomorrow. In the meantime, I’ve got a story to tell you guys!

M.K. went on to tell Frisk and Chara what happened to him two days ago at Alphys and Undyne’s house. Frisk, Chara, and M.K. have all recently discovered that they are quite fond of tickling. M.K. always wanted to tickle others when he didn’t have arms and was always a victim to tickling. Now that he has arms, he can start tickle fights with other monsters and humans. M.K. has become a pretty good tickler after having a few tickle fights with Papyrus and even Sans. M.K. still has much to learn, but Papyrus is great teacher. They don’t call him “the Great Papyrus” for nothing after all. When M.K. is in tickle fights, he is able fight back with the help of his new arms, but they didn’t help much after he tickled Undyne while she was sleeping. After tickling Undyne, she grabbed him and mercilessly tickled him for ten whole minutes. Undyne was too strong and his arms couldn’t save him from her wrath. Frisk and Chara sure had a good laugh while hearing his story.

Chara: The big, tough fish is ticklish huh? That’s hilarious!

Frisk: You were awfully brave to tickle Undyne M.K.! I wouldn’t have tried that! And after hearing what happened to you, I’m glad I didn’t!

M.K.: I couldn’t resist! Good thing Alphys and Papyrus were there to stop her! Otherwise I think she would’ve kept going until I passed out! But it was worth it! I got to hear Undyne laugh like a lunatic for fifteen seconds!

Frisk and Chara had a tickle fight the same day M.K. was tickled by Undyne and about nine days ago, Frisk and M.K. had a tickle fight. It was pretty clear that the three children enjoy tickle fights and tickling in general. Chara thought she was getting too old for tickling, but after having a tickle fight with Frisk, she discovered that she could enjoy it at any age. It brought back memories of when she used to have tickle fights with Asriel and when Toriel and Asgore used to tickle both of them when they were younger.

Chara: Frisk and I were talking and we think that it would be fun to tickle Asriel while Mom is seeing Dad tomorrow. There’s absolutely no way we’re gonna let him get by without any tickles!

Frisk: You wanna tickle Asriel with us M.K.?

M.K.: You know it! I didn’t know Asriel was ticklish!

Chara: Oh god is he ticklish! He’s more ticklish than all of us!

M.K.: Woah, really?!

Frisk: I still have a hard time believing that Chara!

Chara: It’s true guys! Mom and Dad used to tickle us a lot back then and he and I used to have many tickle fights. We all just loved hearing his adorable laughter!

Frisk: Asriel is really strong M.K.… so we think we’re gonna have to tie him up. I know it doesn’t sound very nice but Asriel pretty much outshines us in anything involving physical strength.

Chara: He sure does Frisk. Plus it’s also the only way we’ll be able to get him to hold still. He used to thrash around so much whenever Mom, Dad, or I tickled him and I REALLY want both of you to see just how ticklish he is!

M.K.: So basically it’s for our own safety so he doesn’t wind up hurting any of us?

Frisk: In a way, yes. But Asriel would never intentionally hurt any of us. He’s such a nice boy! He gets all of his kindness from Mom and Asgore!

Chara: He sure does Frisk! So anyway, instead of having a tickle fight with Asriel, we’re gonna be tickle torturing him. We’ll make it up to him afterwards, I swear! And we’ll give him lots of breaks too! So, who wants to tie him up?

M.K.: I’ll do it. I’d like to get more practice tying ropes. So how do we get him to agree to this?

Chara: Just tell Asriel it’s part of a game we’re gonna play. I’ll give you more details about it later. Also, Frisk and I want him to be shirtless.

Frisk: We wanna feel his fur! Asriel has the softest fur I’ve ever felt and that’s no exaggeration!

Asriel’s fur is much softer than all of the Temmies and dogs (Doggo, Dogamy, Dogaressa, Lesser Dog, Greater Dog, and the Annoying Dog). His fur is also a bit softer than that of his parents. M.K. was excited because his robot arms have nerves, so he’ll actually be able to feel Asriel’s fur.

Frisk: I’m not gonna be able to sleep tonight guys. I’m really excited!

M.K.: Wait a minute, won’t Sans get suspicious if he hears Asriel laughing more than usual?

Chara: I wouldn’t worry too much about that M.K. Sans usually falls asleep whenever he watches us. So I don’t think that’ll be a problem.

After discussing the remainder of their plan, the three children then turned in for the night, anxiously waiting for tomorrow to arrive.

TO BE CONTINUED...

[tyranttortoise]

There seems to be a shirtless bandwagon going on so I thought I might as well just slip this in here: G!Sans caught shirtless by his S/O? Only if you're up for it, of course, I understand that you're busy :)

(* I’m all about the shirtless bandwagon.  x]  I decided to use Echotale’s G!Sans for this one since it has him wearing a sweater under his jacket. )

Gaster!Sans:

You've had a crush on G for a while now, and you're currently sitting in his room, trying to bug him into grabbing dinner with you at somewhere other than Grillby's.  

"what's wrong with grillbz?  you love his burgs.  the alcohol's pretty cheap, too."  He's sitting backward in a chair while you're standing in front of him, rolling your eyes.  

"That's not the point.  It would just be nice to eat somewhere where we're not sitting on bar stools."

"hm.. this is sounding like a date," he claims in a matter-of-fact tone.  Your face turns red, and he draws in a deep inhale of his cigarette, golden eyes watching you carefully.  Damn him; he's always so observant.  You know for a fact that the reddening of your cheeks is giving you away!

"No.. well, a friend date, sure.  Whatever gets us in a decent restaurant."  You avert your gaze, frowning.  Why did you even bother?  It's not like he's going to--

"ok."  He sets his cigarette in an ash tray on his desk and stands.  You look at him in complete surprise.  

"Okay?" you parrot.

He nods.  "yeah, sure. let's do it."  Happiness blooms in your chest, and you grin.  You're so shocked that you almost don't register him taking off his fur-lined jacket and tossing it on his mattress.. followed by his sweater.

The sight of his ribcage startles you.  You've seen his forearms exposed, but that's about it, so you're instantly blushing and trying to look away.  "What are you doing, G?!"

"what?  i'm changing for our date."  

Your blush deepens.  You can't stop stealing glances at him, and of course, that fact doesn't escape him.  With a smirk, he crosses the room with confident strides.  You find yourself backing up until your back hits the wall.  He plants a hand on either side of your shoulders, and you're forced to drag your gaze from his exposed ribs, to his face.

He's wearing a broad smirk.  

"like what you see?  i didn't know you had a thing for guys that are bad to the bone."

"Geez!  I-it's not that, I'm just.. surprised," you stammer your excuse.  Your gaze drops, and you notice that half of his pelvis is showing, too.  His pants ride rather low on his hips.  

He chuckles.  "yeah, sure.  maybe i should just wear the jacket without a shirt."  He finally steps out of your space and crosses the floor to grab his jacket from his bed.  After pulling it on, you see that it's cropped short enough that it doesn't conceal much.  "what do you think?  can i pull it off?"

Of course he can; it looks fantastic on him.  The exposed bones only make him look sexier and edgy at the same time.

"Just.. get dressed so we can eat already!" you say instead, before turning on your heel and walking away from that knowing smirk.
