Chapter Text
"this omelette sure is egg-cellent, bro."
"Sans..."
"yeah, what’s cracking, bro?
"Stop telling puns at the breakfast table, we have guests!"
"reds cracking up at my egg-cellent puns."
"Because you two have the same horrible taste in comed-...did you just reuse the same egg puns?"
"can’t beat these yolks, bro."
"You’re no longer my brother!"
Sans chuckled and put his hands up in defense while Red wiped tears from his eye sockets from laughing so hard. Edge rolled his eyes and tried to ignore the puns by concentrating more on his breakfast. He stabbed a forkful of omelette, before putting it in his mouth with a small, annoyed huff as he heard Sans tell another egg pun. He slowly chewed to savor the taste of Papyrus’s first try in cooking an omelette and couldn’t help but to feel a bit impressed by his friend’s cooking skills, which have improved dramatically since reaching the surface.
Just as he was about to swallow his breakfast and ready to serve himself another forkful...
"Edgy’s my new brother now!"
He choked.
He punched himself in the chest a few times and coughed up pieces of his breakfast onto his plate, while he felt Papyrus patting his back trying to help him. As soon as he found his breath, he whipped his head to his friend and open his mouth to ask if he heard him right. To Edge’s dismay, however, he couldn’t find his words and started sputtering out guttural noises.
"B-Big brother? What’s wrong? Are you okay?"
If his face wasn’t red before from the lack of air, Edge was definitely sure it was now.
Edge nodded his head furiously before shoving a big chunk of omelette into his mouth. He chewed vigorously and swallowed quickly to eat another piece.
And another...and another.
He really didn’t trust himself to speak at the moment. So many thoughts were running through his mind.
’H-HOW CAN HE JUST SAY THAT! HE CAN’T JUST DECLARE SOMETHING LIKE THAT!...CAN HE?! DISOWNING HIS OWN BROTHER...FOR ME? D-DOES HE REALLY THINK I’M SUITABLE ENOUGH TO BE SANS’ REPLACEMENT? DOES HE HONESTLY BELIEVE I HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF BEING A BIG BROTHER? AND WHAT ABOUT MY BROTHER? WE CAN’T BOTH BE BIG BROTHERS...RIGHT? DO I HAVE TO DISOWN MY OWN BROTHER TOO?!’
"wow, paps, gotta hand it to ya. i’ve never seen my bro look so scrambled before."
Edge’s left eye socket twitched, before he slammed his hands on the table, and made up his mind.
"SHUTUP! YOU HEARD HIM, I-I’M HIS NEW BROTHER NOW! YOU ARE OFFICIALLY DISOWNED, BROTHE...I-I MEAN RED."Edge quickly got up and took both his and Papyrus’ plate and headed for the living room."COME NEW BROTHER! WE WILL EAT TOGETHER WITHOUT THOSE TWO STRANGERS!"
"Agreed, new brother!"Papyrus yelled and marched his way into the living room.
"aww come on, don’t egg-nore us."
"yeah, we were just yolking around."
"YOU TWO ARE DEAD TO ME!"
"You’re dead to me too, strangers!"
"DON’T TALK TO STRANGERS, PAPYRUS."
Sans and Red both chuckled at each other as Edge and Papyrus’ voice grew more distant from them, before they turned their attention back to their breakfast.
"those two crack me up. they’re just too adorable."
"egg-stremely adorable."
