Chapter Text
"CAN YOU TWO AT LEAST TRY TO PLAY THIS GAME?!"
"We are."
"LIES! ITS BEEN TWENTY MINUTES AND NEITHER OF YOU ARE EVEN CLOSE TO BEATING ME!"
"i thought you liked winning?"
"WHEN THERES A CHALLENGE! PAPYRUS IS THE ONLY ONE WHOS ACTUALLY TESTING MY SUPERIOR BOARD GAME SKILLS. SPEAKING OF PAPYRUS...WHERE IS HE?"
"doorbell rang. he went to get the door."
"I KNOW THAT! WHAT I'D LIKE TO KNOW IS WHY IS IT TAKING HIM SO LONG? ITS HIS TURN!"
"Maybe he ordered something?"
"I'LL GO GET HIM, BUT HE LOSES A TURN FOR TAKING SO...OH."Edge suddenly stopped right at the entrance of the kitchen, looking towards the scene he couldn't tear his eye sockets away.
"Edge?"
"DID...ANY OF YOU TWO ORDER HIM FLOWERS?"
"...what?"
"I'M TAKING THAT AS A NO..."
Stretch and Slim quickly walked to Edge's side and directed their eyes to a very...curious sight. Papyrus was standing by the door with a bouquet of roses in his hands. A bright orange blush painted his cheekbones, a gentle smile taking place on his face. His eyes roamed over the red flowers with nothing but complete fondness in them. He held the bouquet close to his chest as if they would disappear if he didn't.
It was such a curious sight...they couldn't find it in themselves to look away, but they could definitely feel the blush crawling upon their faces.
Papyrus just looked so happy...so beautiful....
Feeling like he was being watched, Papyrus turned his head and saw his friends staring at him."O-Oh! Hey guys! Look what I've just received as a special delivery!"
Shaking their heads from their trance and trying to mentally get rid of their blush, Slim was the first to respond.
"A...bouquet of roses."
Papyrus nodded, watching his friends walk closer to him and look at the bouquet with surprised looks.
"Aren't they lovely?"
"yeah...they are."
"SO...WHO GAVE THEM TO YOU?"
Papyrus hummed in thought."I'm not quite sure. I asked the special delivery guy, but he says it was from an anonymous. He did say there was a card in here, though."Looking at the bouquet closely, he noticed something pink hidden in the stems of the roses. He pulled it out and read it out loud.
Dear Papyrus,
I hope you like these flowers I've picked out just for you, even though they pale in comparison to your own beauty.
Love,
Your Secret Admirer
Papyrus felt his face grow warmer and his blush spreading even more across his face."W-Wowie...I got a secret admirer!"
Stretch, Edge, and Slim looked at each other with a mix of feelings before turning their attention to Papyrus again. They wanted to feel happy for him...and they do to some extent, but...
"congrats, buddy."
It was hard.
"Yeah man, way to go!"
It was hard for them to be truly happy for him.
"WHOEVER THIS IS...IS GOING TO BE VERY LUCKY, PAPYRUS."
When they were in love with him.
Papyrus felt like his face couldn't get any brighter, but it did."Nyeh heh heh! Thanks, guys! I'm going to put these in a vase right away! Then, we can continue our game night."
The three skeletons watched him run upstairs to find a vase somewhere, before they went in to the kitchen again and sat down in their seats. They stared at the board game that they no longer felt like playing anymore, and sighed in unison. As soon as they heard footsteps they quickly put on a facade as Papyrus rushed in to the room. With a vase in one hand and the bouquet in the other, he went to the sink and turned it on. He turned off the sink as soon as the vase filled up with water, putting the bouquet carefully in the vase and placing it gently on the middle of the table.
The three stared at vase of roses sadly for a moment, before putting on a fake smile for Papyrus, who still had a hint of blush on his face. He played his turn, continuing game night even though for the other three skeletons in the room...
It was pretty much over.
