Fell and Dust have been together for quite some time now, meeting through Ink, which was just a pure accident. But the two had bonded over their dislike of violence despite them both participating in violence. Dust having killed his friends and family over and over again. It was hard honestly, he hated it, hated having to kill his brother again and again, it was hard but it was something that he had to do. Fell on the other hand, well Fell didn’t talk about his AU a lot, even if Dust mentioned it.
But for now, the two of them planned a walk in Underfell. It was an alright AU, Fells AU, but they both didn't mind it at all, despite Fell not wanting to talk about his AU, about his brother, it was still nice. Snowdin was lovely to walk through, without the dust that Dust was used to. Fell was already waiting in his AU, by the exit to the Ruins, his mind went on to think about Dust, wondering on the time when he was going to get here. They made plans for today, Dust knew that, right?
Fell had a thought. What if Dust wasn’t going to show up? What if something happened to Dust? But then, his thoughts vanished after seeing his lover appear from a portal. Fell let out a shaken breath. “Damn sweetheart. Scared the crap outta me.” He let out a chuckle as he went over to Dust and placed a kiss on his cheek, wrapping his arm around Dust’s waist. Dust managed to blush for a moment and chuckled. “I was fine, just got lost.” He explained. “Lost? You alright now?” Fell asked, obviously worried about his lover.
Dust let out a soft chuckle before speaking again. “I’m fine, Fell.” Dust placed a bony hand on Fells shoulder, looking into his eye sockets. “Good. I’m glad. Now, let's go for a walk?” Dust nodded as Fell let go of his lover, Dust moved away and then moved closer to Fell, their hands interlinked as the two of them started to make their way through Snowdin Forest.
With their hands intertwined, Dust was the first to break the silence, letting out a sigh. “You ‘ight sweetheart?” Fell asked with a hint of concern in his voice. Fell didn’t like it when his lover was upset, honestly it broke him every time he heard that Dust was having a shit day. “Not really.” Dust responded, being honest about his feelings. “Wanna talk ‘bout it?” His lover suggested, but of course Fell wouldn’t force Dust to talk about his problems if he didn't want to. Fell may come from an AU where everyone is more boisterous, but he wasn’t an asshole.
“Are we hypocritical?” Dust spoke. Turning over to Fell, his grip on the other’s hand tightened, trying to find some sort of comfort in the other. “What do ya mean, sweetheart?” Fell responded, looked back into Dust’s eye sockets. “Violence. We both hate it yet take part and condone the actions. We’re not innocent either.” Dust admitted, another sigh leaving him as he pulled on his hood, covering more of his face. Fell looked concerned and then paused.
“We do what we need to do, love.” Fell responded. “But-” Dust spoke before being interrupted by his lover. “Don’t worry about anything, I’m here with ya now, okay? Forget what happened today.” Trying his best to comfort his lover, Fell found a tree stump to which the two walked over to it and took a seat, still holding each other's hand. It was comforting for both of them. Dust then looked at the snow and then back to Fell. A chuckle leaving him.
“You’re right. It's still Kill or Be Killed after all, right?” Fell chortled for a moment, smirked as he then burst out into laughter, Dust then joining in suit. “You have an adorable laugh.” Dust spoke, chuckling as he looked over to his lover, Fell had a red blush on his bony cheeks. “Shut up-” Fell tried hiding his cheeks in his jacket as Dust chuckled to himself.
“Besides, your laugh is even more adorable. If that's even a thing- So HA!” Goodness, Fell’s attempt at flirting was a horrible one, but it made Dust blush nonetheless. “Hah! Now you’re blushin’ sweetheart! Gotcha!” Fell spoke again, moving closer to Dust just a bit. Dust smirked as he chuckled. “I’m totally not blushing.” He joked and teased, placing his free hand on Fells shoulder. “You’re also the one with your head in your jacket. So who’s the simp here?~” Speaking once again, Dust’s smirk grew a little wider.
Fell popped his head out of his jacket and before he was about to speak, Dust became… Extremely close to the other. “I know you wanna kiss me~” Again, Dust spoke, teasing Fell as Fell then just pushed himself onto Dust, giving him a kiss on the lips (if they even had lips-) Pulling away, Fell smirked. “Hah, look at ya, sweetheart. Seems someone is blushin’ a lil too hard~” Crap he was right. Dust had a bright red blush on his face. Dust let out a chuckle.
“Shut upp!-” Dust teased, playfully hitting Fell on the shoulder before his hand rested there. This time Dust was the one who made an advance. Though this time, Dust shoved Fell into the snow as Dust fell on top of Fell. Letting out a low chuckle, Fell looked up at his lover. “Well, guess ya really FELL for me, huh sweetheart?~” Again, Dust let out a chortle and then it turned into laughter. “You’re an idiot.” Dust responded after dying down on the laughter. “Ya love me though!” Fell quickly spoke back before Dust nodded and placed a kiss on Fells forehead.
“Course I love you, idiot.” Dust replied before getting up off of Fell. Only for their positions to quickly be flipped, Dust laying in the snow as his hood fell off. “Aw~ You’re so adorable sweetheart~” Fell spoke, his hands on top of Dust's shoulders, he spoke with a chuckle. “I may be adorable, but you’re obviously much more handsome than I am~” Fell honestly didn’t expect Dust to say something like that, so it caught him off guard for a moment, which was the perfect opportunity for Dust to flip their positions once again.
“Gotcha.” Dust chuckled to himself, with his hands on Fell’s wrists, pinning him into the snow. “You’re such a fuckin’ flirt, aren’tcha sweetheart?~” Fell responded to the other while his head lay in the snow, catching his breath. “I know I am, but you love me dearly~” Dust let out a chuckle as he leaned down and placed a kiss on Fell’s cheek. Dust was honestly so glad to have someone who understood him, someone like Fell. It was so nice and calming.
Fell let out a chuckle as he looked up to Dust. “I do.” He spoke with a smile, his golden tooth shining bright as Dust eventually let go of the other and stood up. “Shall we continue walking?” Dust suggested the idea as Fell took his hand and got up, with their hands intertwined they both continued to walk past the stump and deeper into Snowdin Forest. Fell liked Dust’s company, they both enjoyed each other's company in fact, even though Dust and Fell would sometimes be apart they would always think about one another
While the two were holding eachothers hands, Fell looked over to Dust, who still seemed to be in a semi-unhappy mood. Fell rubbed his bony finger against his lover's hand. “You aight’ sweetheart?” But Dust didn’t seem to respond but the two still continued to walk, that was until Dust seemed to stop in his tracks, letting go of his lover’s hand. Now Fell knew that something was up and he had to act quickly. Fell was used to this happening with Dust, but that was okay since he quickly got accustomed on what to do.
“C’mon sweetheart, sit down, I'm right here, that human ain't gonna bother us.” Fell spoke, trying to reassure his partner as he managed to get Dust to sit down on the floor. Fell quickly took off his arm fluffy jacket and gave it to Dust. “Put this on. It’ll help, trust me.” Dust managed to slowly slip on the crimson red, golden yellow and fluffy jacket, instantly Dust felt a wave of calmness brush over him, but this mood of his still wasn’t going to be over yet.
“It hurts… It hurts… I… Papyrus… He… I killed him. I don’t.. I don’t want to, Fell please, I dont- I don’t want to, not again, not again-” Dust whimpered from under his breath, his breathing started to become erratic, what could have caused this? Was it the teasing that Fell had done? No, it wasn’t that, of course it wasn’t that, there was no way it could be what happened earlier, or maybe it was from when they both were apart… What AU did Dust go to before this one?
Fell gently scooted closer to his lover and placed his hand in Dusts, giving it a gentle squeeze. “I’m right here, it’s gonna be okay, you don’t have to kill anymore, I’m right here for ya sweetheart, take a few breaths with me, okay?” Fell suggested as Dust just barely managed to look at the skeleton next to him, the two of them managed to do a few breathing exercised together, Fell sort of had a coughing fit in the middle of one, but that was alright, it just made Dust chuckle and laugh and that's all Fell wanted to see, a nice smile on Dust’s face.
“There ya go! All happy ‘n smilin’ ! Proud of ya sweetheart.” Fell spoke with a genuine tone in his voice, of course he was proud of his lover, at least this wasn’t as bad as the last time, that was… Something to say the least, but they shouldn’t be focusing on that at all, everything was fine now and the two could probably continue their date night, though then again, staying in the snow sounds so much nicer than a walk, because you don't have to go anywhere! Perfect for both of the lazy skeletons.
Dust looked back to Fell before letting out a sniffle. “Thank you, love.” He spoke with a small grin on his face before placing a kiss to the other's mouth, Fell's face then blushed for a moment before the skeleton with the golden tooth spoke up. “Course, you’re welcome, it's what I’m here for, ya know? Always gonna be there for ya, no matter what, K?” Fell spoke with a sincere tone in his voice, Fell was always going to be there for Dust, no matter what.
Dust placed his hand onto Fell's chest and pushed him back onto the snow, both of them lay on their backs besides each other, one of their hands intertwined as per usual. Holding hands was a calming activity for the both of them and they both really enjoyed it, even though none of them were talking, just having that hint of physical affection really made both of their days, even if the other didn’t think so. “I know” Dust responded to Fell with a smile on his face.
As the two of them were staring up to the Underground's ceiling, a silence surrounded them. Most people may not have liked it, but to them it was one of the most romantic and calming things they could do together as a couple. Fell honestly loved just laying around and holding hands with Dust, it was one of the best parts of the day, why wouldn’t it be? Any time with his lover was the best and Dust thought so too. They both loved eachother very much, they never wanted to part ways. Never ever.
With their backs in the snow, Fell in his shirt and Dust looking majorly comfortable in both his hoodie and Fells jacket. Fell’s thumb rubbed over Dust's hand, just to calm and soothe his lover a little bit more. Dust peeked over to Fell and moved a little closer so their hands could intertwine better against each other. “I like this.” Dust finally admitted before Fell then looked over to Dust. He had to admit that he was also enjoying the nice calming snow ceiling of the Underground, but most of all, spending time with his lover.
“I like this too, sweetheart.” Fell replied to his lover, leaning in and placing a kiss in Dust's mouth. They were alone together in the forest, laying in the snow with no worries or cares in the world, it was so calming it was so… Tranquil and silent, just barely managing to hear each other's breaths although Fell’s breaths were more obvious by the fact that Fell was just a bit cold, but how could skeletons even feel temperature? It was strange, magic even as all monsters were made of magic.
“Love?” Dust spoke up after a moment of silence, a soft blush covered his bony cheeks as Fell paid close attention towards his lover and then spoke up. “Heya, ‘sup sweetheart. Something on ya mind?” Responded Fell as he let out a cold breath from between his teeth, Dust turned away for a moment, looking at the ceiling then back at Fell. “What happens if you leave me too? I don’t want you to leave me too.” Dust managed to speak through parted teeth.
Fell was honestly a little shocked to hear that question, where on earth would Dust get that idea from? “Sweetheart. What made ya think that? I’m not gonna leave ya, never. Not if I can help it. Because you’re mine. ‘Ight? And nobody can take my sweetheart away from me, got that?” Fell tried reassuring Dust the best he could, while he wasn’t the best at it, he always improved every time he spoke to his lover. Fell liked being there for Dust and Fell honestly loved dust with all his heart
“Thank you.” Dust responded with two words before taking off Fell’s jacket and handing it back to him. “You look cold.” Dust also added after his moment of thanks. Fell shoved the jacket on as the two huddled close to one another, despite it being cold, the two of them found themselves quite warm in each other's embrace, it was comforting and calming just to be hugging each other, while they did it often it was still nice to do on a regular basis.
While cuddled up to one another, Fells hand was placed on Dust’s chest and Dust snuggled up close to his lover. They managed to fall asleep together, in the snow, all alone where it was nice and calming, where nobody could touch them. It was calm and peaceful for the two skeletons to sleep like this, though some people may find it strange that they were out in the open like this, but nobody would find them here.
