Can I request poly Underfell Grillster x reader headcanons, please? - 🔥
1: With those two, they most likely dated in the war before they were sealed underground. When that happened they most likely drifted apart, then Wings disappeared when he fell into the void.
2: So then you and Inferno would most likely get together, and when Wings comes back so does the memories.
3: Wings would meet you and then you two become friends, and he would most likely spill the fact that he and Inferno used to be datemates before he fell into the void and lost his soul.
4: It's up to you to bring up the idea of them getting back together but with you too! Wings would agree very quickly, he might not have feelings at you at first but he finds the idea of it very interesting. Inferno might disagree at first, but that's just because he's… nervous.
5: After a bit Inferno would agree with it! Wings is the most cuddly and will often latch onto you and pull you back into the bed then keep shouting Inferno's name until he comes to join the cuddle pile.

Ocs, reactions to being given marketable plushies of themselves
Macaw- Oh that's cute! Heh, lil guy like him. New desk buddy, and whenever Lupo's trying to convince him to go out and socialize, he now holds up his mini self and says "I HAVE been socializing!".
Lupo- LOVES!! Oh man he's putting this cutie on his car dashboard and giving him cool sunglasses! Course if he gets a datemate and they get serious, he'll give them mini him.
Falcon- C'mon, he's too old for plush toys... though it IS a tiny him... He keeps it safe in his room and gives 'himself' pep talks.
Jackal- He accepts your gift! Though he makes clear he is not as soft or fluffy as this plush toy! ... If you need cuddles though, he'd prefer he was the recipient. And not the plushie.
Jay- Aaawww it's a little him! He feels an action figure would better represent him but this is fine!
Fox- Eyes immediately tear up. He accepts, then crawls into his plush pile and snuggles it. At least some version of him is getting hugs now.
Crow- GASPS and holds mini him up and ADORES! He'd start right away on making little outfits. Dresses and suits and stuff he wishes he had the confidence to actually wear!
Hound- Carries little him around everywhere. Hidden on his person somewhere somehow.
Vulture- It's cute, he doesn't think he's that soft or cute. And seeing the headwound on the plushie bugs him a little. He'd let his brother have it.
Hyena- Lays down and cries snuggling his (and his bro's) plushie selves... Though would definitely give a certain bunny his plush self.
Robin- Rips it apart.
Dingo- It's cute, and amuses him. He keeps it.

a look of significant worry at their son, but they know Green has to feel like the safer option here, both fir long term knowing nest, and, well, the 'didn't keep a massive secret from' top. and each knew the man Glaze had been, and what he'd done, and put the other through, in a way they only had glimpses of.
"morning, angel," Bells greets Edwin softly, joining him. as much for apologies as to let Green and Umbra have a moment they clearly need. and they knew there would be talks between Green and Aiden soon. they hope he has better success than they had. their soul still sinks briefly, at how they'd felt... ignored, honestly. and unheard.
...still. there was no use dwelling, they suppose, pressing that away for now. "sorry for slipping away like that." they wrap an arm, and a shadow or two, around their sweet nightmare, "had a need to visit Rasse, and didn't want to wake you. is Aiden still inside?" he usually greeted them sooner than that- probably he was with Huitzi?
"this is Cyan," Blue explains, adding their scritches to the pile. "it's pubby. also amalgamate, so many pubby. and kind of part of the same joined magic as Aiden? either way, I absolutely recommend cuddles."
"-so you do that, Pal," they add, giving him a quick squeeze, "imma go smooch your brother." snagging Magnus by the hand, they teleport to the ground nearby, immediately dip their lover very gently, giving him a soft look of adore. then, Blue gives their wonderful mate a long overdue, very soft, and very drawn out kiss.
"-fuck I missed you, beloved." they whisper.
Green and Umbra snuggle and whisper on the sidewalk, passerby giving the goop blob and his boy a wide berth.
"Mornin' Sugarplum." Edwin hugs them with a deep sigh of relief. "Glad you're back."
"Aiden said he needed to go do something." Huitzi sighs, a wing reaching ouch and brushing against Bells. "Wouldn't say what."
Magnus giggles as he embraces his datemate, giving them smooch after smooch after delighted smooch with many nuzzles and purrs.
"Our new neighbors are adorable." A bitty giggles to their friend from a walkway.
"Hi cutie~" The friend coos, waving to Paladin who immediately flushes and hides behind Rasse's head.
"That wasn't what I meant and you know it!" The first chides, shoving them as the pair walk off.
"You are cute." Rasse pets him with a chuckle while Cyan snorts.

yay open orders!! :)"well you pissed off my S/o and you better run... *S/o breaks a wall*" Here comes the pain train!! "Moments before a massacre takes place. Scenario with Moxxie, Loona, Blitzo and Verosika
This is so funny to think about omfg
Blitz:
He was in an argument with some random client. When things were getting more heated, he called you, but before he could say anything the client said something that you unfortunately heard.
"Whatever, you're just a dumb fucking imp. You're not even worth it." Those words had Blitz open mouth gape at them. There were furious stomps leading to the office.
"Welp, you pissed off my datemate, I think it'd be in your best interest to run." The demon didn't get the chance, however before you burst in through the door, knocking it off it's hinges; the same way you didn't hesitate to start beating the shit out of the demon after yelling a very threatening:
"HERE COMES THE PAIN TRAIN!"
No one ever saw that demon again.
Loona:
She was at a concert and while you were getting snacks, someone decided to flirt with her. Normally it'd be fine, but they were getting handsy. You had come up and tried to tell them off. They then tried to tell you both that sluts like her are always looking for a good fuck. Loona looked at you and then the stranger before pulling out her phone to record.
"You just pissed them off, I'd run if I were you." You never gave the pervert achance and threw yourself at them.
"PAIN TRAIN COMIN' IN MOTHERFUCKER!" You then beat the shit out of the asshole, starting a deadly mosh pit in the process. Needless to say that the demon was trampled.
Moxxie:
He was getting belittled by someone in the grocery store. You were an isle over, getting something you forgot while he stayed with the cart. You overheard the stranger telling him to hand over his cart and to "get the fuck out of my way, imp."
"Sir, my significant other is just an isle away, please don't do this, for your own safety." The demon didn't listen and kept saying racist slurs towards your sweet, freckled love. "I think you should run." You burst through the shelves before the fucker had the chance.
"ALL ABOARD THE PAIN TRAIN!" Your fierce battle cry was followed by the harsh sounds of someone getting the shit beat out of them. The man's pained pleas for mercy went on deaf ears as you just kept going. Moxxie pulled you away and you two continued your shopping, leaving the offender a bloody pulp on the linoleum.
Verosika:
A meet and greet between her and her guests. Should be fine, right? No. Tex was out sick so you came in place to be her security. A rowdy fan decided to try and kiss her. She obviously backed up and then the fan called her a whore, saying she was ugly anyways. You stiffened beside her.
"I'd watch what I'd say if I were you." The fan didn't listen, continuing to call her names and tell her that if she really appreciated her fans, she'd kiss them. "See, you just pissed off my partner and now you should run." You pounced as the fan tried to take off.
"YOU'RE RIDIN' THE PAIN TRAIN NOW!" The other demons in line, as well as Veroskia, all watched as you beat the fan into a pile of blood and flesh. No one tried to touch her the rest of the time.

16 with Underfell Paps? That seems like something he might do for his S/O 🥰
16 - kissing knuckles
🥺 I was hoping someone would request this one! It’s so soft and absolutely something Boss would do for his S/O (this man is a gentleman and a romantic deep down<3)
•••••••••
You have fallen on the floor.
And unlike the viral meme from years ago, you can get up… you just don’t feel like it right now.
Today has been shit, and your last straw was tripping while folding laundry. You just kind of stay there… laying on your back… in your once nicely folded pile of clothes.
Its just one of those days.
But you don’t get to bask in your uncomfortable position for long before your datemate, Boss, opens the door to your shared bedroom. You don’t look up at him, but you can tell by his pause that he’s calculating what the hell he’s looking at.
“Why are you on the floor?” He questions as he walks further into the room and closes the door.
“I don’t know…” You groan, which isn’t a complete lie.
“…Are you going to get up?”
You shrug, or try to, but it probably just looks more like a weird twitch than anything. Boss sighs, and you see his face enter your vision as he bends down to look at you.
“You don’t look very comfortable.”
“That would be because I’m not.”
Seemingly fed up with your antics and lack of answers, he picks you up, and places you on the bed. Then he surprises you by kneeling on the floor in front of you, grabbing on to both of your hands.
“What’s wrong?” He asks, looking up at you with his piercing vermilion eyelights. You cave, seeing that he’s obviously concerned.
“I don’t know… I’m just tired and I feel gross and I just wanna lay down but I have to do all this laundry.” You nod your head in the general direction of the pile.
He hums, thinking for a bit, before responding.
“How about we leave the laundry for today-”
“Leave the laundry?” You ask incredulously. This man hates messes! And he’s telling you to willingly leave a mess to be dealt with later?
“Yes, I know. How horrid!” He rolls his eyes, making fun of himself a bit, which cause you to chuckle. He lights up at the sound and continues, “We’ll leave the mess, you obviously need a break, and then we commit the scandalous act of lounging in bed while watching your favorite show.”
“The show you hate?” You ask, hopeful, you actually have been falling behind in that show. He sighs and nods.
“Yes, the one I hate.” He confirms, stiffening at the mention of it but staying true to his word.
“Really? You’d do that for me?”
Boss visibly softens at your quiet tone.
“Anything for you, my dear.” He murmurs, and presses his teeth to your knuckles, giving you a little skeleton kiss. You tear up at the action, it’s just so soft.
“But get ready for me to poke fun at your show.” He continues, letting go of your hands and climbing into bed. You laugh.
“I would expect nothing less.” You reply, getting comfy next to him.

Dealer's Choice. Skele sees S/O break-dancing in the drive way, and they're really getting into it too. S/O sees them and screams at them for help. Turns out the driveway is icy, and they are not actually break-dancing but desperately trying not to slip.
Sans: he lifts you with his magic but is unable to do much else as he basically dies on the porch. You’re stuck in midair until sans can stop laughing
Papyrus: he was about to run over to you but he immediately jumps back to the porch when he feels his feet slide under him. Instead papyrus floats some damageless bone attacks towards you. That way you can grab the bone and he can summon it back, dragging you with it.
Star: oh he was so so tempted to watch you struggle, but hero star wins this round. He slides on the ice like a professional skater to get you you, picks you up bridal style and then proceed to shortcut back onto the porch. It’s only later that you realize he could’ve just shortcutted to you right away instead of letting you flounder a few minutes longer lol
Honey: he tries to get to you. Tries. Poor honey runs over and slips on the same patch of ice. Then you slip and fall on top of him. You both fall a couple more times trying to get up together before you two decide to just scoot on your bums to the porch lol.
Red: he laughs at your misery. Don’t worry, he’ll shortcut you out when he’s done
Edge: your knight in shining armor is here!! Edge must be feeling extra today because he summoned a blaster underneath your waist to sit on. Then he has it gently float you safely into his arms. You may proceed to praise him
Mal: unlike red and sans who are useless when they’re laughing, mal can laugh and shortcut at the same time. He saves you, but at the cost of your pride. Mal won’t stop teasing you for days
Cash: like a hero, he rushes out onto the ice to save his datemate….. buuut cash may have miscalculated how slippy the ice is. He over shoots and winds if sliding right past you and straight into a snow pile. It takes a good couple minutes for him to dig himself out and by that time you’ve already saved yourself
Oak: his answer is basically the same as sans here. But less puns and more purring when you finally get your feet on dry ground
Willow: he rushes inside and grabs the little crocodile grabby stick he uses for low shelves. Then with his impressive arm length and his trusty croc, willow is able to get close enough for you to grab on from the safety of the porch. Once you grab hold of the stick, he drags you across the ice to the porch. Genius

Horror x blue x y/n
Not really wierd, but i just want it
Ah. A person of good taste. Good good.
I'm teasing, don't worry any other askers lol. This one is just a secret ship of mine haha! Yeah totally secret.
Having Axe and Blueberry as your datemates, was very interesting. They were both very loving, but in two very different ways. Axe would cuddle with you all the time, holding you close to his body and nuzzling you, while Blueberry often liked to hold your hand but he didn't really like to cuddle.
Together, they were a little hard to handle but it was really nice! You knew that it was. Whenever Axe got overwhelmed by things, together you and Blueberry would help him relax, and whenever Blueberry hid his emotions too much you and Axe got him to talk about it.
All three of you needed to be together.
Sure, Blueberry and Axe might work together well without you but you were the thing that held them both together! The chain, you guess?
Well today, you asked them to help you out with something. You needed to clean out the garage at your house, and you didn't want to have to do it alone. Blueberry agreed quickly, and you knew that Axe would help! The two boys were so sweet.
So, that's why you were all in your garage, cleaning. Blueberry was running around, picking up any trash or dirty clothes and putting them into a pile while you and Axe were sorting through things.
You were looking through one of the boxes when you heard Axe make a soft sound, trying to get your attention. You turn your head to see Axe holding a book, holding it out to you his head tilted to the side “It's... you?” You look down at the book, and perk up.
“Oh!” you smile, taking it from his hands making sure to be careful, “Axe, you found this old picture book?” it was a picture of you on the cover when you were a child. Dang, that's crazy... “Yeah, that's me when I was a toddler”
Axe sits down beside you, with a soft huff of breath and lays his head down against your shoulder, “Open?”
You giggle softly “You want to look through the pictures, huh?” he gives a little nod, so you look over your shoulder “Hey Blueberry! Axe Found a picture book, we're gonna look through it”
“Really?” Blueberry rushes over, sitting down beside you and smiles putting his hands on his cheeks “Aw Y/n, you were so small!”
“Well you're still small” you nudge your head against his skull, hearing his annoyed huff while Axe let out an amused one.
All three of you went through the pictures, sometimes them asking questions or pointing out things in the pictures. There was laughs, there were some times where you almost teared up... Axe seemed to really like the old looking ones and would trace his claws over the yellowed pictures. He was sure to be careful, not wanting to tear them! What a nice boy.
Sitting here like this, not doing anything but going through the past... it made you realize that you were really the luckiest person in the world to have these two.

Just thought this was kinda funny, but I've only had one relationship in my life, and that 1 year of it really helped me figure out I was ace. I mean, I feel like I was a bad datemate to my gf, but when we were making out, I honestly just did my best to angle my head to keep watching whatever show we were watching most of the time, and if that doesnt scream ace then I dunno what does 😅 Dunno if this is familiar to other aces for how they found out they were ace, but the things piled up for me🤔
I used to think sexual attraction was sinful and that my not experiencing it just made me a really good Christian... it’s funny what we tell ourselves when we’re in denial

Much needed R&R
Summary: Red has been working himself to the bone lately, and Blue invites him over to relax. A cute, relaxing movie date ensues.
Warnings: a bit of anxiety/self-deprecation from Blue, but nothing major
Note: This is my SFW piece for the You Are my Stars zine. I loved participating in this zine, and I highly recommend that you check it out at @cherryberry-zine
It was beta read by someone in the discord but I do not remember who, so sorry. If it was you then please hit me up, and I will edit this bit to give you credit.
Read it on ao3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/36337915
Blue stood in the living room with his hands on his hips, looking over his preparations. Comfy blankets and pillows piled on the couch? Check. Sweet and salty snacks, with extra mustard? Double check. A stack of movies freshly rented from the library? Triple check. The only thing missing was his datemate, who should be here in twenty minutes.
Blue sat on the couch, nervously fluffing the pillows up a bit. Red had never disliked any of their previous dates, but Blue couldn’t help wondering if a movie night wasn’t good enough. Maybe Red would think Blue wasn't eager to go out with him any more… That wasn’t true. Blue would love to have a night out on the town, but recently, Red had been working far more hours than usual. He always texted Blue good morning and good night, but “good night” at 4am, and good morning at 2pm had Blue worried. Sleep was already hard enough for Red, and such irregular hours must be making it worse. Not that Blue could say anything about it. Red wasn’t ready for that conversation.
Of course, that didn’t mean he was going to let Red work himself to the bone! Their dates usually involved meeting after work, and going out for dinner and a show, or something more exciting. They had done escape rooms, haunted houses, and once he had even gotten Red to join him for a 5K charity Fun Run. Blue knew he had a tendency to go overboard, but he loved finding new activities for them to do together!
There would be no going overboard tonight, though. Blue had even worked out earlier, to make sure he’d be ready for a quiet night in. This would be the perfect chance to give his overworked datemate some care.
Blue jumped as he heard the doorbell ring. He raced to answer the door, but stopped before he pulled it open. He had to be calm, and put Red at ease. He took a deep breath, then reached for the handle, trying to stay as relaxed as possible.
Blue opened the door, ready to thank Red for knocking instead of just teleporting inside his apartment. It was bad enough when Papy did it, and having his datemate catch him off-guard was the last thing he wanted. Instead, he was left speechless by the sight in front of him.
Red looked… Well, he was always a rough kind of guy, but he looked rough . The dark, red rings around the lower half of his eyesockets made his skull look sunken. His pupils were small, barely moving as they flicked over Blue’s loose t-shirt and overalls. Even his puffy jacket couldn’t hide the way his shoulders hunched, as if he was sinking in on himself. This was more than Blue had feared; Red looked like his soul was being drained out of him.
Blue lifted his hand to reach out to Red, but then paused. The one thing Red hated more than anything else was being treated like he was helpless. Red was more tired than Blue had ever seen him before, and getting him angry was a surefire way to drain his remaining energy. What Blue needed to do was get him inside, and care for him in a way that didn’t make Red snap.
“Hey.” Red mumbled, putting Blue’s social script back on track.
“Hey Red! It’s good to see you. Please, come in.” Blue gestured for Red to enter.
Red shuffled forward, barely picking his feet up off of the ground. The laces of his sneakers dragged on the floor, and Blue carefully nudged them off the threshold with the toe of his slipper. He closed the door, clicking both of the locks shut. Red relaxed a bit at that, but he still looked exhausted.
Blue leaned in and quickly pecked his cheekbone. “I’ve already set things up the living room, the only thing missing is you.” Blue took Red’s hand, pulling him further into the apartment. “I—I know this isn’t our usual thing, and I really do enjoy going out with you, but I wanted to have a night in. Just the two of us, you know?” He smiled as Red looked at him, trying to look happy despite the strain. Red looked at the cozy couch, then the food, then finally turned back to Blue. His face was unreadable, and Blue felt a drop of sweat running down the back of his skull. Finally, Red’s mouth twitched, the corners of it curling up in a slow smile. His golden fang glinted, and Blue breathed a small sigh of relief.
“Looks good. Thanks.” A small flush of healthy, red magic crept back into Red’s face. Blue straightened up, smiling brightly. Even when he was exhausted, Red was still gorgeous. Stars, Blue was so lucky to have him…
“Ah, it’s no problem!” Blue briefly rubbed Red’s shoulder before he sprang into action again. He grabbed a bag off the table and held it up, showing off Grillby’s logo. His soul soared as Red licked his lips.
“I got us some burgers and fries, I’ll warm them up now. Just sit down and make yourself comfortable.” Blue headed into the kitchen, an extra bounce in his step. Now that the initial hurdle had been cleared, he was going to spend tonight pampering his lovely datemate with everything he deserved.
Blue microwaved and plated the burgers. He also grabbed a couple of extra napkins, just in case. There was nothing wrong with grease, but Blue preferred to not get it on the blankets or upholstery.
Red had settled into the couch like he belonged there and was silently looking through the movies. Blue handed Red his plate, then sat down next to him. Red loved human-made monster movies, he said they were the most hilarious thing he’d ever seen. Blue enjoyed them somewhat, but the newer ones were a bit too gory for his taste. He wanted to create a relaxing atmosphere tonight, so he’d chosen a few that he could comfortably watch. Maybe he should have gone for something more intense, though. What if none of the options were good enough?
“Let’s start with this one.” Red opened up the monster movie’s box, and used blue magic to levitate the tape over to the VCR.
The tape slid into place with a thunk, the screen shifting from a blue tone into static, and then a title screen. ‘Night of the Alien Invaders’. Blue sighed slightly, relieved that Red had found something to his liking.
“Bone appetite.” Blue pulled off his gloves, getting ready to eat. The pun drew a small huff from Red, and even if it wasn’t a proper laugh, it still made Blue smile.
Blue settled in next to Red as the opening credits began to play. He liked having the credits at the start of the movie. It usually gave him time to chat with the others, and get comfortable before the proper movie started. But Red might be annoyed by that tonight, so instead of speaking, Blue just picked up his burger and ate. Following his lead, Red stuffed half of his burger into his mouth, a bit of mustard dripping out of the side and down his fingers. He didn’t notice or care, he just chewed his food. A small, happy grunt escaped him. He must have been hungry, and Blue was quietly relieved that he’d gotten something filling.
Blue turned back to the television, not wanting Red to notice he was being watched. The movie had a slow start, with some sort of drama around two couples that Blue didn’t quite follow. Red found human-made monster movies hilarious, and Blue had watched many of them with him. It was always interesting to see what kind of technology the humans believed would be an advance from their current devices.
Blue had meant to pay attention to the movie, he really did. But over the next twenty minutes, Blue’s focus shifted off of the movie and onto himself. He became hyper-aware of every movement and sound he made, from the clicking of his phalanges against the plate to the small, shuffling noises from bouncing his leg. He knew Red didn’t mind talking during a movie, but he didn’t want to disturb him with other noises. Papy had told him on more than one occasion that he was exhausting to watch, and Blue didn’t want to make Red feel that way, even if it was by accident.
Red didn’t exactly help Blue’s concern. Instead of making jokes about the paper-thin plot or the strangely chipper tone of voice the humans spoke in, he watched silently. He had long since finished his burger, and was using his fries as a spoon to get mustard into his mouth. Even the sight of one of his mildly-unpleasant habits wasn’t enough to appease Blue, not when Red still seemed to be a shadow of his former self.
The mood got a bit lighter when the first ‘alien’ came on-screen. It was a robot, and its boxy, metallic form reminded Blue of Napstaton’s original form, from back in the Underground. The arms, however, were clearly just a human’s, but painted to match the same, silver tone of the machine. Red chuckled at the sight, and Blue felt his soul flutter at the familiar sound. He hadn’t been this nervous since their first date, and hearing Red’s laugh helped him finally calm down.
Blue was slightly tempted to lean in for a quick kiss or some cuddling, but he decided to stay where he was instead. He knew his tolerance for physical affection was much higher than Red’s, and he didn’t want to overwhelm him. It wasn’t as satisfying, but he would try his best to be happy with just feeling Red’s presence. After all, it was selfish to expect Red to do what Blue wanted all the time.
Once Red was finished with his plate, Blue moved it from the couch onto the stability of the coffee table. He pulled a bowl of popcorn into his lap, already sprinkled with a powdered cheese topping Red enjoyed.
“Want some?” Blue asked hopefully.
Red looked at him, eyesights flickering for a brief moment. “Nah, I’m good.”
“Oh, okay.” Blue settled back into the couch, eating a few pieces of popcorn every now and then. He wasn’t really hungry, but it was something to do with his hands and mouth that wasn’t annoying. Papy had scolded him for fidgeting during movie night, and even his more discreet forms of letting out energy seemed to qualify as ‘fidgeting.’ Red was much more tolerant of his antics, but Blue didn’t want to push him too much.
The movie’s pace was picking up. The man and woman from separate couples had been kidnapped, leaving the remaining two humans to form a rescue plan. The saucer was sitting vulnerable on the ground, with the goopy aliens and robot off somewhere else. Blue watched with interest as the humans approached the craft, the woman hanging off the man’s arm as she tried to stop him. If they were trying to sneak around, they weren’t being very subtle about it. Blue leaned forward as they whisper-shouted at each other. It was foolish to argue like that. Didn’t they know the aliens could come back at any moment?
Blue jumped as he felt a hand on his waist, quickly looking at Red. Red just gave his shirt a wordless tug. Blue set the popcorn down, and turned to face Red.
“Yes, what is it?”
“C’mere,” Red mumbled, pairing the request with another gentle pull.
Blue scooted closer to Red, still slightly confused. His eyesockets went wide as Red leaned in, resting his head on Blue’s shoulder as he wrapped his arms around Blue’s waist. Blue stayed still with surprise as Red rubbed his skull back and forth, nuzzling into him. While Red was usually up for cuddling when Blue asked, he almost never initiated affection like this. He must really be tired… Well, Blue wasn’t going to deny him, especially when it felt so good to have Red close.
Blue rested one hand in the middle of Red’s back, pulling him in for a proper hug. He brought his other hand up to Red’s skull, running his fingers gently over Red’s coronal suture. He was careful to avoid touching anywhere close to Red’s scar. Even if it wasn’t always in pain, touching the area made him jumpy. Instead Blue let his fingers drift over the curve of Red’s skull, then scratched the vertebrae near the base of it. Red’s magic sparked slightly against his fingertips, and Blue smiled. The slight prickling sensation of his datemate’s determination was a welcome change from his drained look earlier.
The movie played on, but Blue’s focus remained on Red. All of his remaining tension seemed to evaporate, and he actually smiled as Blue kept petting his skull and upper vertebrae. It wasn’t one of those menacing grins that he liked to give humans who were getting a little too close to him. It was a real, soft smile; Blue could see it in his eyes.
Blue glanced at the table in front of them, getting a good idea. He didn’t want to disturb their cuddling, but he wanted to give Red just a bit more to eat. The more food he had, the more his magic supply could recover while he slept. Blue kept petting Red’s head with one hand, but lifted his other off of Red’s body.
Red glanced up at him as blue magic surrounded one of the bags of candy on the table, making it float up into the air. With a quick curl of his fingers, Blue brought it to hover right in front of his face. He tore the bag open with his teeth, then poured a few of the candies into his hand, and held them out in front of Red’s face. This was a cinnamon candy Red liked, with each small ball packed full of spice. Blue preferred candies that were flavoured with sweeter ingredients like strawberries, but he’d grown to enjoy the taste of these, since they reminded him of Red. After a moment, Red opened his mouth, letting Blue feed them to him. The way Red’s jaw moved against his shoulder as he chewed felt a bit strange, but his soft, happy sigh made up for it.
Red didn’t object when Blue took a few of the cinnamon candies for himself then put the bag down, and gestured for another one. One by one, Blue hovered each bag over from the table with blue magic, fed some of the contents to Red, and then took a smaller portion for himself. Red just opened his mouth and let Blue place the candy inside. His sharp teeth and slick tongue occasionally brushed against Blue’s fingers, but Blue was careful not to let his hand linger. He wasn’t trying to initiate anything lewd, he was just enjoying some snacks with his partner.
The movie ended with a predictable happy reunion, and Blue continued feeding Red pretzels as the credits rolled. While Blue typically hated using magic for anything he could do with his legs, he realized that disentangling himself from Red to change the movie was not optimal. So, he decided to imitate Red for once, and change the tape in the player without getting up. Blue didn’t even look at what he had put into the machine; he was busy pressing a few light kisses to Red’s browbone.
Once the film started Blue realized it was some kind of fake documentary about the filmmakers searching for some kind of swamp creature. Blue thought he recognized one of the humans from a comedy film Red had shown him before, but he wasn't certain, so he decided not to comment on it.
Since the film’s tone was light, the music and sound effects were far too loud compared to their voices. Blue quickly grabbed the remote, putting on subtitles and muting the audio. It might cut some of the suspense, but Blue wanted to relax, and that was impossible to do when he was being given the musical equivalent of a car horn every five minutes.
This movie’s plot was far easier to understand, with many scenes serving as detours for wacky hijinks. While Blue wasn’t as big of a fan of mischief, he could certainly appreciate a well-designed net trap. He continued feeding Red, idly petting his skull in between their snacking. It wasn’t often that Blue got to see Red have a quiet, vulnerable moment like this. Blue felt like he’d been handed a precious gift, and he wanted to cherish it for as long as possible.
However, it seemed that fate had other plans. As Blue offered him one more bite from a minty chocolate bar, he noticed Red’s eyelights flickering in and out. Red’s breathing had slowed, and he was leaning against Blue more heavily. Blue wanted to squeal with how cute Red looked, but instead he just took a soft breath. He didn’t want to jolt Red back to wakefulness with a loud sound, not when he was so close to doing what Blue wanted.
Blue slipped out from under Red, holding his breath. He kept one arm around Red, supporting his skull as his head lolled. He quickly shifted the position of a few pillows, making a better spot for Red to sleep.
Red stirred as Blue laid him down fully, catching Blue’s wrists with a surprisingly strong grip. He grumbled as Blue just stood there, tugging him closer. When he cracked one eyesocket open wide enough to glare, Blue quickly surrendered. Blue wasn’t quite tired enough to sleep, but he was more than happy to lie down with Red, at least until he fell asleep.
“All right, scoot over a little.” Blue encouraged, gently pushing Red’s chest.
The couch wasn’t very spacious, but they managed to both squeeze on. One of Blue’s legs went between Red’s, and their ribcages pressed together as Red curled over him, hugging him like a koala. The pressure of his body against Blue’s was a soothing weight, and he sunk deeper into the couch, wrapping his arms against Red as he finally relaxed.
“Love you.” Red mumbled, pressing his face against Blue’s shoulder. Blue felt the slight tingle of Red’s magic, and he knew Red must be blushing.
“I love you too, Red,” Blue whispered. Blue light from the blush on his face reflected off of Red’s skull, making him groan and try to hide his face more. Blue just giggled softly, pulling a blanket over them to complete the cocoon.
Blue knew this peace would not last. Tomorrow morning, he wasn’t going to let Red leave without having a conversation about cutting back on work. It might end in a fight. This wouldn’t be the first time Red wanted to act tough, and keep going when he was exhausted.
That was alright. If Red wasn’t going to take care of himself, Blue was happy to pick up the slack. He turned, pressing a soft kiss to the side of Red’s skull. Red snored, the sound muffled by Blue’s shoulder. For tonight, neither of them had to do anything, and Blue was going to enjoy his time with Red to the fullest.

So curious, the boys are able to scent mc by nuzzling them or giving them something coated from their nest during their heat and im sure other ways as well. Is it possible for human to put their scent on the monsters in the same ways or doing methods. If so how would they feel about it?
If you think about when you exercise, and start getting smelly, the smell clings to you in pretty specific spots; pretty much anywhere you grew hair during puberty, particularly armpits and groin, and also your neck around your hairline (if you have one) and anywhere it may feel oily a lot of the time like behind your ears (depending on your skin type, probably). The reason for the hair when you reach puberty is at least partly to capture scent and attract possible mates (oh my god- can you believe humans are animals that have instincts and stuff?! Lol).
In short, yes!
The skeletons scent MC in much the same way cats rub their heads against stuff or people they like, or other ways, and, if the scent is heavy enough, like from being coated over and over by sweat and stuff while in a nest during a heat, it can do a second hand transfer; like if you go somewhere, use a towel, it gets wet, you forget about it and it gets funky, the bag you put it in starts to smell funky, and the next stuff you put in gets that smell on it.
Anyway! If you were to get that built up smell (not sweaty gross, but the natural smell you wash off) on something, animals who recognize scent marks will take it as being marked.
Since the skeletons found out that humans are usually monogamous, they assume that MC's scent claim is a committed relationship.
Classic- He's playing it cool like it doesn't matter, teasing MC about claiming him and having to treat him good since they made it so no one else would look at him. Inside, he's very proud and flattered that MC chose him, and he keeps discretely smelling the mark.
Creampuff- He has bright, blushing cheekbones, and he's blustering, "OF COURSE YOU'D MARK ME, HUMAN! I- TH-THE GREAT PAPYRUS, AM AN AMAZING DATEMATE!"
Red- He’s smelling the mark, his soul so full of happiness and pride that MC chose him! And he’s also feeling- “well, now... my turn...” And then he cuddles and nuzzles and scents MC until they either fall asleep all cuddled up, or they pass out from screwing.
Edge- He’s flustered, but plays it off like it’s nothing. “YOU- YOU MARKED ME! I- I SUPPOSE I SHOULD MARK YOU AS WELL, SO THAT YOU’RE NOT SHAMED AND EMBARRASSED BY MY REJECTION...” He's so happy he can't stop his chest from puffing up, the tsunsere man.
Blue- He’s. The. Happiest. Skeleton. EVER!!! “OH, DOVE! YOU MARKED ME! I’M SO GLAD THAT YOU FEEL THAT WAY ABOUT ME! Now, Let’s Go To Bed, Dove- After All, I Must Return The Favor...” Oh, that innocent boy face isn’t hiding his very adult intentions... and MC is again reminded that he is NOT a child.
Stretch- He is quiet about it, giving a chuckle, but then quietly teases MC that they’re going to have take care of him, as he’s become accustomed to a certain way of life- and also, it’s about time they made an honest skeleton out of him. He's very pleased and proud about the whole thing, though.  
Black- He doesn’t say anything. It is extremely strange... MC would think that he disliked it, if it weren’t for the very rigid and proud posture he’s sporting, as well as his mouth staying shut and not scolding... And then he picks MC up and brings them to his room. “I’M SO GLAD THAT YOU CHOSE TO SHOW ME HOW YOU FEEL, PET- AND NOW IT’S MY TURN TO DO THE SAME...” Has he ever looked more like he’s in love...? No... and he’s just barely managing to keep those hearts out of his eyelights.
Mutt- He’s... He’s affected... Deep rumbly noises coming from him... and... then he’s close enough that they’re sharing the same space, wrapped around MC. Much cuddling has started, wherever the closest comfy place is. And he’s not planning on keeping it innocent for long. MC is going to smell like him by the end of it- so much that the others might mistake MC for Mutt if they only get a smell.  
Axe- Silence. Does MC know what they just-? Are they aware the just claimed him? When it’s confirmed that, yes, MC did actually mean to scent him, he becomes a koala- not literally, just that MC isn’t going anywhere any time soon, since Axe is wrapped around them like a koala... And he’s scenting the heck out of them! And this closeness is probably going to lead to more... like... possessive mating...
Crooks/Bun- Bun is so happy... Tears start dripping from his sockets and he hugs MC close, nuzzling them. “I Love You, Too, (Y/n)...”
Dusty- This becomes more like a game, and he’ll hold MC down, like in a tickle fight, scenting them himself, until it turns into- cuddles. They become a cuddle pile and probably fall asleep.
