TW: none!

Papyrus (Classic)

Monsters had been on the surface for a few months now, their appearance shocked the world but they were welcomed pretty quick. Though they had a preference to live closer to the outskirts where it wasn't busy and crowded. It was probably out of weariness but everything was new to them.

There was a flower field, vast and open behind a grocery store Papyrus frequented with sans. It was a local shop but the owner was kind enough to let them venture out to the back due to Sans' curiosity about it. While walking around in it they both were reminded of the waterfall. Surrounded by glowing blue flowers.. but this place was sunny and had bright colorful bursts with grass mingling and intertwining with flowers and other plants like ferns all while the sun shined down on them.

Papyrus loves the surface, he was always adventurous and the wind blowing felt so freeing, it was nice to feel the warmth of the sun and the breeze of the wind. Even when it rained or got particularly hot, it was all a new experience for monster kind a like. They never had weather changes. Sitting down he loosened his scarf and placed it into his hand, he wore the red cloth everywhere. It was a comfort item, one that reminded him of the underground. Maybe he was a sentimental guy but he enjoyed having memories to keep and show.

When he laid down on the ground letting the gall grass swallow and hide his tall and lanky form he smiled, the wind passing through the grass but not hitting him directly, keeping his hand loosely wrapped around his scarf as he rested. With closed eyes his shoulders sagged in content. Laying there basking in the sun before he heard shuffling behind him and a shadow casting over him, blocking the gentle rays. Peaking his eyes open he frowned at his brother who wore an evil but playful grin, knowing he was disrupting his sun bathing.

"'sup, paps."

"..Yes, Hello, Sans. May I Help You?" Papyrus asked, with a raised eyebrow hinting of disapproval.

"Nah.. but uh- where's your scarf?" Sans asked, pointing at his hand next to him. Quickly Papyrus sat up and looked at his now empty hand. WHEN DID IT DISAPPEAR??

Setting a few boxes outside you sigh, happy to be on your break finally after dealing with the customers. You sat the bent and wrinkled cardboard on top of the trash can. Dusting off your hands you went to sit down, reaching into the apron's pocket for your phone only to stop when you noticed a bright red color resting against the leg of the chair that sat outside for the employees.

You reach and pick up the long and well woven cloth, laying it out and quietly admiring how long it was and the quality of it. It looked handmade and very well loved if the holes in some place were anything to go by. It must've been sitting out for a bit given the warmth of it.

You folded it and keep it against your chest absently looking off to the side to see two people run by you quickly. A tall monster running quickly and a short one following him keeping a speed walk. You wonder for a moment why they were behind the store but ultimately shrug it off and sit down with the red cloth in your lap as you pull out your phone to scroll your break away.

After a while the back door opens, you smile expecting your co-worker only to see your boss instead. With wide eyes you nervously smile and look at him thinking you did something wrong and you'll be written up.. your boss was pretty nice so you wonder what you did until he turns to you and smiles warmly, wiping his hands on his apron.

"There you are! Was looking for you, didn't realize you were on break!" ..oh thank goodness. He wasn't mad.

"Got some monsters looking for something, says it's a scarf of the bright color variety." He finishes, stepping outside more to gesture to the door in a 'come out here' motion. Out steps two monsters, the tall one wears a worried expression, the other, shorter, one wearing a tight smile with what seems to be beads of sweat dripping off the sides of his skull. ..hey! Those are the guys from earlier that were running past you!!

You were about to shake your head no, that you haven't seen one before remembering the scarf you found. Looking down you close your phone and neatly hold up the woven piece to them with a smile.

"Is this it?"

"Oh My Asgore! Yes! Thank You So Much, Human!" The tall one smiles brightly, his matching red gloves brushing against your hands to take the outstretched cloth back before pausing a little. You tilt your head softly in confusion but give him an encouraging smile in hopes maybe he's just nervous.

Watching his cheeks..? Turn a faint orange he laughs a bit loudly under his breath and quickly pulls away, taking the red cloth again, still smiling at you while the shorter one sighs heavily, he looks relieved. Given the way his shoulder sag quite a bit and he rubs the side of his skull.

"Great you found it! Sorry for the worry, glad to have you catch it, huh?" Your boss chuckles at you and you nod a bit shyly at the light praise. You never took compliments very well..

Looking at the outstretched hand with surprise you look up at the tall skeleton again as he offers you a hand to shake. You take it and give a small wave motion and pull away again, folding your hands together in front of you after the exchange.

"I'm The Great Papyrus! Nice To Meet You....?" Papyrus trails off, waiting for you to reply. You look down realizing you didn't have your name tag on and look back at his bright expression telling him your name.

"Great! Lovely Name! You Have My Gratitude! Didn't Know You Worked Here! Me And My Brother-" he then gestures to the shorter skeleton who lazily smiles and does a little wave towards you. You return the gesture with a smile.

"Sans, Visit Here Quite A Bit."

Making an 'o' with your mouth you then smile. The store wasn't too well known but it was a good local spot so you were happy to hear that they supported the business. You weren't in love with your job but the people who worked and ran the place were sweet.

"Really? That's great! I'm usually sticking things so that's probably why. Maybe we'll see each other more often?'

Papyrus grinned at the response and nodded.

"Yes! That'd Be Great! Me And My Brother Must Be Off Now! Have A Lovely Day!" With that he quickly waved to the both of you and ushered his brother quickly out into the store again and your boss laughed and waved to you, following them in.

You sighed tiredly smiling softly and sitting back down to continue on your break. What an interesting character.. you hope to see them again.
