[centipedelightning]

Hi there I was wondering how you think the skeleboys (especially the papyrus's) would fel about a really tall S/O like I'm talking like just a little under 8 feet tall (they could be a monster if that helps). Established romantic relationship.

(Underfell, undertale, underswap plus dealers' choice again if you want :D)

PS: Love your work. You're totally underrated

skdjgdskj This is so fun. and thank you!! I'm glad you like my stuff!! tbh I think I'm average rated when you consider the fact that I never fucking post dkfghkg. I don't want to talk about how old this request is...

| UT/UF/US x Super Tall!gn!Reader || Romantic || fluff |

Sans

Listen

He's already a pretty short guy.

So he's used to being towered over.

But eight feet?? Yeah, you aren't getting away with it.

Sans is standing on Everything to be at eye level with you.

Everything.

I hope you like being big spoon because that is what you will be for the rest of forever.

Damn near every time he wants to kiss you, he will make a joke about climbing a tree/mountain/skyscraper.

The only way to shut him up is to lean down and kiss him. Please do he's not afraid to reuse old material and that's when it gets super painful to listen to.

The lazybones is never going to reach for anything again. Ever.

Papyrus

He's already used to being shorter than a number of other Monsters, so he doesn't think too much of it.

If you were a human he would make a surprised comment about how he didn't know humans could get so tall, but that would be the extent of it.

He actually likes when you have to lean down to kiss him. It makes him fluttery because he is the one that usually has to stoop down.

He loves dancing around with you! For similar reasons to the kissing thing, he's usually the one to lead because he's usually taller, so your relationship is a welcome change.

If you ever dare to rest your arm on his head or noogie him he will a) complain loudly and b) go apologize to Sans because he's "NEVER REALIZED THE STRUGGLES OF BEING SO SHORT".

Red

This guy has a complex okay.

Instead of joking with your height, he'll joke against it.

i.e. he will do whatever he can to jokingly treat you like you are short.

If you are sitting down anywhere, Red is gonna drag a stool or chair over, get up on it, and joke about you being short.

Don't you dare hit your head on a doorframe you will never hear the end of it.

Shameless in just dragging you down to his level when he wants a kiss.

You two can go to bed in any cuddling position you want, you're more than likely going to wake up with Red koala bear-ed to your side.

Good luck getting out of there by the way; his grip strength is surprisingly intense.

Edge

In a similar vein to Papyrus, Edge is used to people being taller than him. He's just also whiny about it.

He'll try to "prove himself" in every little way he can regardless of how annoying it might be. Tall shelf? Prepare to get shoved out of the way so Edge can get it for you despite the fact that you are significantly taller.

He won't say it but he does appreciate not needing to hunch over to talk to people.

He will say that he doesn't like looking up so far. He'll say it constantly.

Lovesss clothing shopping with you. The man has taste and money. You will never struggle for well-fitted, good-looking clothes.

He has his besties at the tailors that will soon become your besties as well. The hottest power couple ever truly.

Dogamy and Dogaressa look out.

Blue

So fine. So, so fine.

On his best behaviour really!

Blue pulls the same "prove he's capable by doing tall things for you" shtick Edge does but he's completely unaware he's doing it.

If you say you're gonna get up and get a glass of water, he's already in the kitchen telling you he's got it. Not a setup if you're more lazily-inclined.

Do you treasure your teeth? I hope not.

He will jump up to kiss you and by god can that man put some oomph into a jump.

If he starts looking at you with a suspicious glint in his eyelight do yourself a favour and just lean down.

Stretch

Little spoons. That's his number one activity with you.

Due to his height, Stretch can't usually be the person who gets cuddled vs. does the cuddling so you are very exciting for him.

Love love loves rotting on the couch with you.

If you're a human, his favorite spot is to lay on your chest and doze while listening to your heartbeat.

If you're a Monster, it's more in the center of your sternum to listen to the magical buzz of your soul.

You will experience more pranks than you think you can bear. You know the plastic wrap across a doorframe prank? Yeah.

You have been lured into a false sense of confidence because if Stretch is tall, he wouldn't possibly pull that kind of bullshit on you right? He would have to trip his own trap right?

Don't underestimate Monster building codes. Those doorways are Tall. He has room.

After a certain point, you learn to just duck through every doorway.

It doesn't help.

Undertale sketch dump ahead, more under the cut. Might have to click for better quality.

The last one is of a dastardly man, probably telling you about his dastardly plans...

Decided to finally post some of the cleaner sketches and doodles I've done over the last few years. A friend has been trying to get me to post some of these for a while now. I am in the process of writing a fic for these guys; the release date is scheduled between 2024-3000. So I might as well introduce them to you in the form of art.

AGGRESSIVE ENCOURAGEMENT

Thank you @vixenrose-64 for commissioning! This was a joy to write, I love nice UF!Papyrus hehehe

AO3 link here

(UF!Sans x Reader, UF!Papyrus & Reader Gender non-specific, no content warnings)

You’ve liked Sans. No scratch that, not like- you love him. (It’s so weird to admit it to yourself…)

You thought you were ready to tell him that, but seeing him sitting on that bar stool has glued your feet to the ground and you’re starting to worry that you’ll chicken out…

Thankfully, a hero in a flowing crimson cape has come to shove save you.

———————

Cars whizz by you, the sun was just starting to set. It was still warm out- yet, your fingers were cold to the touch, your stomach tied in knots. And weirder still, you were sweating down your forehead. You check your phone for the thousandth time, opening the message that has been plighting you for the last few minutes.

You: Hey Sans, you up for Grillby’s today?

Sans: 👟

Sans: what time?

You: Maybe in

You: 15 mins? Im on my way

Sans: ok

He responded as usual; curt and nonchalant, it was what you were used to. He was more expressive face to face, you knew he wasn’t purposefully trying to sound disinterested but- you wish you could read his tone right now. You bite your lip and look up to see him already at the bar, nursing a drink. Maybe you should’ve messaged him when you were sure you’re ready, it’s just- Sans doesn’t usually show up on time, let alone early. You thought you were ready when you sent him that text, but when you saw Sans’ back through the window… your confidence drained.

Even from behind your heart flutters… you’re down baaad, and it excites the butterflies already in your stomach.

Come on (Y/n), walk in. It’s that easy.

…

I can’t walk in.

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING?”

“eeeEEEEK!”

You almost jump clear out of your shoes when you suddenly find a presence beside you. You turn around to see an angry red eyelight staring at you from above from within intimidating dark sockets. Papyrus stood there, gloved hands crossed in front of him, judging you with that withering gaze, jagged scowl set deeper than usual. He wore a sleek leather jacket and a shirt, accented by his trademark red scarf.

He looked grumpy, but… didn’t he always?

“Oh my god Papyrus,” you sigh, dragging a hand down your face, “don’t scare me, I thought you were Sans for a second…”

You thought he’d teleported to you when he saw you. You could feel the heat in your cheeks fade away as you calmed down.

“OH REALLY?” he inquired, “WHAT’S THE MATTER, DISAPPOINTED?”

You blinked. “Disa… whuh? Why would I be?”

“THAT I’M NOT YOUR BOYFRIEND?”

You spoke too soon. The heat returned to your cheeks- you knew exactly what he meant but- how did he know?

You decide to feign ignorance.

“Pfft, what’re you talking about, Paps? I don’t have a boyfriend.”

“SANS.” Papyrus replies lightning fast, stopping you in your facade. You really don’t have a reply to that.

He smirks. He’s caught you and he knows it.

“N… I… I’’m not dating him,” is what you decided on, denying by not telling the whole truth. Papyrus, however, squints his sockets in a way that reminds you of a teacher pressing you about a slip up you’re trying to cover up.

You crack, just a little. “A-at least… not yet…?”

“HM.” Papyrus smirks. “I KNEW IT. YOU’RE TRYING TO CONFESS TO HIM RIGHT NOW, AREN’T YOU?”

You make a sound akin to a mouse about to cry, hiding your face in your shirt. Usually Papyrus gets impatient when you don’t answer him fast enough, but from his smug expression you think he’s savoring the fact that you’re turning into a boiling tea kettle at his observation.

“How’d… why do you know?” You ask, actually desperate to find the answer. Papyrus merely scoffs.

“OH YOU POOR THING,” He says patronizingly, “YOU COULDN’T BE ANY MORE OBVIOUS. DID YOU THINK YOU HID IT WELL? I CAN SEE YOU TURN INTO A TOMATO WHENEVER YOU’RE AROUND MY BROTHER.”

You feel the strength leaving your knees. You wanted to sink into the ground and hope Papyrus forgets about all this. But Papyrus has no time for your mortification.

“SO. WHY ARE YOU STANDING HERE THEN?”

You suppose there’s no point pretending anymore.

“I don’t know Pap… I’m just… scared. He doesn’t seem the type to jump into committed relationships, but it’s not just that. I just… don’t know how he’ll respond? I don’t want to ruin things with him if he doesn’t see me like that. What if I weird him out? I…”

You pictured that handsome shark grin and sigh heavily. “He’s… hot, ok?? He’s smooth, he’s a flirt, and… he could just get any hot bod in this town by blinking. I just wonder if he’s out of my league, I don’t know if he’d want to… settle with… me..?”

You startle when Papyrus leans down to your eye level- almost bending at a perfect 90 degree angle, squinting at you. His jagged teeth were pointed downwards, and you could feel the scrutiny. He looks more mad…? You can’t tell honestly- knowing Papyrus he might just be thinking deeply. You feel anxiety whispering, telling you that Papyrus is going to confirm your fears-

“THAT’S THE MOST ASININE THING I’VE EVER HEARD FROM YOU, HUMAN.”

“Um… huh?”

Papyrus shakes his head. “YOU’RE SMART, HUMAN, BUT… YOU’VE GOT IT ALL WRONG.”

Before you could manage a timid “what,”, Papyrus rounds on you.

“YOU REALLY THINK SANS IS OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE?”

Flummoxed, you glance left and right. “Y… yes…?

“WRONG!” You jump, “YOU ARE OUT OF SANS’ LEAGUE. NEXT THING YOU’LL SAY IS THAT YOU DON’T KNOW IF SANS LIKES YOU.”

“... He does?”

It’s as if those two words exploded something in Papyrus’ skull, because his jaw drops.

“DOES HE- HMPH! AND I THOUGHT SANS WAS THE COMEDIAN.” Papyrus frowns, as if he’s offended you’d ask such a thing. “DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH THAT BONEHEAD TALKS ABOUT YOU? YOUR NAME RINGS IN MY SKULL WHEN SANS TALKS!”

He shakes his head. “‘DOES HE LIKE ME’... TCH. HE’S ALWAYS A SHOWOFF AROUND YOU. TRYING TO MAKE YOU LIKE HIM MORE SOMEHOW. I CAN’T BELIEVE THE BOTH OF YOU COULD BE SO DENSE- HE DOESN’T KNOW YOU LIKE HIM.”

You let out a sigh of relief. You were going to cry if he did.

“IT’S INFURIATING HOW MUCH HE SHOWS OFF WITH YOU. I’LL GIVE YOU THIS WARNING NOW, HUMAN, HE’S TRYING TO RUSE YOU INTO THINKING HE’S HOT STUFF.” He leans towards you, whispering “He’s A Fucking Nerd.”

Your mouth opens. Papyrus doesn’t curse.

“But… isn’t that how Sans is like? He flirts and tries to get in bed with you?”

Papyrus shakes his head.

“HE’S… EUGH. IN LOVE.” Papyrus makes a face of comical disdain, “I KNOW WHAT SANS IS LIKE WHEN HE’S ONLY FLIRTING FOR A GOOD TIME. WITH YOU… HE DOESN’T FLIRT WITH YOU. IT’S MORE LIKE HE’S… PROPOSING.”

“I- propose?!”

Papyrus pretends he didn’t hear you. “IF YOU AREN’T AFRAID OF THE ICKY REAL SANS STUFF… He Might Even Get Mushy With You… GO FOR IT. I THINK YOU TWO WOULD BE A SICKENINGLY SWEET COUPLE, ENOUGH TO ROT MY BONES, BLARGH. WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE WEDDING, TELL ME, I’VE ALREADY GOT A WHOLE ALBUM OF IDEAS FOR IT.”

You can’t help but laugh. You couldn’t tell if Papyrus is disgusted or delighted by you and Sans becoming an item- could be both. He’s entirely certain that you were made for each other and against your earlier doubts, you could feel your confidence returning.

“LOOK AT THAT,” Papyrus points aggressively towards Sans. “YOU’RE EVEN MAKING HIM WAIT, I- EVERYONE WAITS ON SANS, NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. ARE YOU STILL WORRIED HE MIGHT NOT LIKE YOU WHEN HE’S EARLY FOR YOU?”

You giggle nervously. “I guess… it is hard to believe that.”

“RIGHT!”

“I shouldn’t keep him waiting, should I?”

Papyrus’ face lights up as you turn towards the fireman’s pub, a renewed fire burning in your eyes. You almost take a step forward when you stop in your tracks.

“Wait a… Papyrus, why are you here?”

“NYEH HEH…” Papyrus snickers, “SANS WENT IN A HURRY EARLIER. TOLD ME YOU INVITED HIM TO MEET UP. SMILING FROM NON EXISTENT EAR TO NONEXISTENT EAR! HE DESCRIBED THAT YOU GAVE HIM A SUDDEN INVITE FOR THE VERY NEAR FUTURE, AND I CONCLUDED THAT YOU MUST BE TRYING TO CONFESS, SO HERE I AM.”

You stare at him.

“I’M HERE TO WATCH.”

This. Was the worst thing ever.

“HEY, I ALREADY KNOW HOW YOU FEEL, SO YOU NEEDN’T WORRY ABOUT MY REACTION, NYEHEHEH! YOU’LL BE TOO FOCUSED ON SANS TO SEE ME PEEKING IN ANYWAY. YOU’RE GOING TO DO GREAT.”

He gives you an affectionate (albeit rough) pat on the shoulders. “BREAK A LEG, FUTURE IN-LAW.”

He winks.

You felt like you wanted to combust right there. Your only response was a “Hhhhhh,” as you sped-walked towards Grillby’s, eyeing the skeleton at the bar.

You’re doing this. And it’s going to go WELL!

Hey, I was wondering if you could do a skeleboys x reader whose gut reaction when the get spooked is to sort of pull their boy back to them not caus they don't trust him their just used to being a protector.

(I request undertale and underfell plus dealers choice :D)

Thanks love your stuff by the way

Waaaa how cute! Ugh I love dealers choice it just means I can write my pookies (today that means the swapfell bros). Yk I always feel bad bc I feel like I write too little. I am used to writing research papers where I just get to the point so creative writing is so painful.

| Ut/Uf/Sf Skelebros x protective reader || super vaguely romantic for a few || fluffy |

Cw/Tw: None

Sans

He’s blushing

I imagine this would be the kind of situation where you two were near some people that got in a physical altercation and you pulled him back. That kind of unconscious instinct both surprises and Greatly flatters him.

He’ll go all wide-socketed and just look at you like you’ve grown extra eyes.

Once the y’all are away from whatever situation spooked you, he’ll start making little jokes non-stop. It’s terrible.

“what was that?” “Wdym what was that?” “were you trying to protect me??” “Tf are you talking about??” “you need a new nickname. i didn’t realize you’re such a guard dog.” “Sans what are you talking about”

Sans tries to keep the energy equal in a relationship. Not one-to-one type of stuff where if you do one chore one day he’ll do it the next, as much as if you put in a lot of work he’ll try to treat you or do something that shows that he knows you did it and appreciates it. So now that he knows you’ll jump to his defense at the drop of a hat, he makes it his mission to Not let you do that. He is flattered of course but he just doesn’t want you to get hurt.

In smaller situations where you just got spooked by something he’ll try to calm you down with jokes and puns.

Papyrus

BLUSHING AND STUTTERING AND AND AND

He’s so flattered he’s just a mess.

Papyrus is the type of person that will jump to anyone’s defense immediately, so you reciprocating the energy means everything to him.

He doesn’t spook very easy, so you’ll probably be the jumpier person. No matter what gets you, big or small, you just randomly pulling him behind you has him blushing hard enough to glow.

Emotional bioluminescence never works in a skeleton’s favor.

I fear that you don’t realize what you brought onto yourself though.

If you weren’t already, Papyrus is staying up planning you an incredibly detailed workout plan to make sure you are capable in combat.

“YOU SHOULD BE PREPARED TO FIGHT IF YOU ARE SO DESPERATE TO DEFEND MY HONOR NYEH-HEH-HEH”

The finalized workout regimen is planned exactly to your physical limitations. Almost to a concerning degree… did he do a secret medical exam or something??

No for the record, but he wouldn’t say no matter what the answer.

Red

Red is pretty jumpy himself so his hackles are already raised as he is trying to drag you behind him, but You dragged him back first??? You want to protect Him???

Swoon

He’s swooning

He still wins this nonexistent battle for the right to protect the other, so he manages to get you close to him. Sorry not sorry but Red’s protective instincts are hard to match, let alone beat.

If the situation was severe enough that you two would need to leave, once y’all do he’s all over you. Laughing and joking about how you’re trying to play guard dog.

He does try to check in a make sure you know you can depend on him yada yada. Please reassure him that you know and whatnot.

It’s not that he doesn’t trust you or feels insecure of course—hell one of his many types is strong and forthcoming—he is just also used to being the protector and wants to make sure you don’t burden yourself.

Edge

Utterly flabbergasted.

That’s all.

Confused even

Situationally you have two options: either you startled at something he also recognizes as a “threat” or you jump at something that just happened to scare you. Both of these options end with him looking at you like you are some combination of a deity and an oddly shaped cat. Confusion, wonder, adoration, a touch of horror—you get the picture.

More specifically, for the smaller option he will just straight up ask you wtf, but for the “big threat” option he gloats. Loudly.

He is about to get very loud.

Imagine something along the lines of “NYAHAHA YES FEAR ME AND MY HUMAN HAHAHA”

Edge is a skeleton that loves his theatrics what can I say.

You will also be put through a training regimen btw. It’s about the same as Papyrus’ just with more sparring. You did this to yourself.

Indigo

I’m so sorry but Indi picks fights.

He does

He’s shameless

Maybe you can try to physically pull him away from needling randos? Then again you jumping to his defense might just make him more confident and Worse.

You won’t get a workout regimen out of this guy though! Little victories.

for literally any other time where something just makes you jump and you grab him instinctually, he’ll play into it. You should tell him as soon as you can if that’s something you don’t want.

But he will dramatically jump into a fighting stance the second you start to tug him towards you.

He is always ready to defend his human’s honor.

Cash

He let’s you drag him back with very little resistance.

In all honesty he finds you jumping to his safety quite amusing, especially if it was from something small that just happened to make you jump and grab him with you.

If there’s ever a situation where you aren’t in immediate danger but near some (like some strangers getting into an altercation) Cash will absolutely allow you to do whatever you want.

He’s never gonna let either of y’all get into real danger, so as long as that doesn’t happen you are free to your instincts to try and protect him.

Hell, you might not even need to grab him with how much he loves to touch or hang off you. No sense of personal space truly.

A long time ago, children were allowed into Grillby's and there was a children's menu. Now you can’t even order water there. - I know, what's your evil plan! You trying to gain the trust of my brother, right? NO WAY!!! - Hello, I haven’t seen you for a month. How are you? - A-aren't you angry?.. - I'm angry. At your brother. But that has nothing to do with you. Family is complicated.

Chance Encounter

Thank you @vixenrose-64 for the commission! Subnautica aus are always really fun heheheh

AO3 link

(UF!Papyrus x Reader, gender non-specific, Papyrus is a reaper leviathan siren and reader is a fox monster)

Life wasn’t easy on planet 4546B, but you’ve gotten into the rhythm of things. Go swimming, catch some fish, build your base, try your best not to get eaten. Simple enough.

Except that one day, you find yourself crashing paths with a reaper leviathan siren, and find yourself getting dizzy thinking about the marvelous monster for some reason.

—————————

You couldn’t hear anything, at first. Then ringing. Burbling, all around you. Everything gets louder and louder as light fills your vision and-

“Uagh!”

You break the surface, gasping for air, breathes coming out of you long yet frantic. Instinctively, you shake your head, trying to get the water out of your fur- forgetting you’re in the middle of an alien ocean. Almost to prove a point, a wave splashes over you, submerging you again. After taking another breath, you look around you, the sea looking the same everywhere you looked. You’re not hearing the ringing anymore, you think, but you could feel echoes of it in your mind, fogging it.

What were you…?

You remembered your life flashing before your eyes.

Red and white filling your vision, a tail so strong that as it swam past you, you were pushed away by its ripples.

Jagged teeth, glowing eyes, bones coming way too close for your liking.

You groaned, holding your head.

I need to… I need to get back to base. You reminded yourself. The creature’s away- for now. Who knows when he’ll come back to threaten you- all that you’re certain is a second meeting would be inevitable if you stayed bobbing here like a helpless floater detached from its rock. You had to go home.

As you swam back, curiously, you couldn’t seem to get the monster out of your head. That powerful swish of the tail, the way his cries shook the seas- and your soul.

You chalk it up to trauma.

You hope you’ll be able to sleep tonight…

***

The day was aging, and as the skies changed from blue to orange, red streaks against the waves.

He was a large specimen of siren, a massive, muscular tail and an upper body of bones, marked by scars of fierce battles of the past. His tail was a white with a slight blue hue, lined with fins of red that made him look imposing even in the dimmest light. His sharp teeth glinted in the fading sunlight, red lights scanning for prey.

Papyrus just had a very interesting encounter today. He’s still restless now, turning here and there around his favorite wreckage, but he’s considerably much calmer now- almost pacified. That little fox monster… what an interesting creature. You didn’t act like how a normal living being would react to the sound of a reaper leviathan’s roar. As he rapidly approached you, you didn’t swim away. Instead, the most curious thing happened; you floated there, looking at him straight on with a look of determination in your eyes.

Though he was a little perplexed by your reaction, it didn’t bother him much. It wouldn’t be the first time a small creature thought they could (FOOLISHLY!) defy a reaper before they were devoured. But that’s not what happened. As soon as he got close enough to snatch you, you swam out of view- so quickly that Papyrus was genuinely stumped for a moment, before he felt the ripples of your movement as you swam behind him. A second time he tries to corner you against some rock formations, and you actually shoot a flurry of ice magic around him- not enough to hurt him, but he couldn’t believe that you actually tried to fight him.

He was almost excited by it.

Before it could get anymore interesting however, you were gone. Swam away while he was getting his bearings. He was… impressed. You actually managed to evade him, and you stood your ground against him. Something so small with so much courage, facing a vicious predator many times their size, it was something he could admire.

He needed to seek you out again. He wanted that thrill, someone who could challenge him! He wanted to…

What did he want from you? He didn’t want to eat you, no…

He just needed to see you again. He couldn’t get you out of his head.

Thankfully, it didn’t take long for that to happen.

He finds you again about a week later. It wasn’t very hard to find you either- he found a trail of food leading towards you.

Peepers, Boomerangs, Hoopfishes floated near the surface, in a peculiar fashion. And these weren’t natural trails left from a picky predator. These were deliberate, near the surface where none of those fish would likely to be killed. There was also a distinct scent… a scent that for some reason had etched itself into his skull.

His first thoughts were that maybe you’d dropped them on accident. Brought a snack with you and got clumsy- maybe the scent attracted a predator and you had to leave?

But no.

He might be a large reaper siren, but he wasn’t one to refuse free food. As he ate them one by one, the trail lead him to the surface, where he found you. Almost a dot in the horizon, but he knew it was you. You didn’t run away, even as your eyes met. And the most curious thing happened.

You reached into a container, and placed the food into the water. You gave it a little push, in his direction, and if that hadn’t been clear enough, you gave a little nod to him, making sure to maintain eye contact.

You were offering food to him.

His sockets widen as does his eyelights, realization blooming in his soul.

You were courting him. Of course you were.

You’re his soulmate.

***

You should be afraid right now. The siren was looking right at you. And he was slowly swimming his way towards you, his tail swishing languidly, keeping his skull out of the water to observe you. His eyelights had dilated too- the researcher in you was screaming that it might be predatory behavior, that he was focusing his vision on you to lunge, perhaps- but something kept you swimming in place. Foolishness or not, somehow you knew in your soul that he wasn’t looking at you with the intent to harm. In fact, the more he looked at you, the more you could feel yourself start to flutter, excited at his approach.

If someone asked you how it got to this, you wouldn’t know what to say. And even if you did, it still wouldn’t make sense.

Despite your best efforts, your sleep was restless the night after the encounter. Your dreams were filled with visions of him, the sea flooding your brain, swimming with the siren.

“What kind of trauma dream was that?” You groan, straining out of bed, wondering what that hammering in your chest was.

When your palm meets your chest, you could feel your fur stand on end when you realize it was your soul, no-doubtedly glowing in your chest if you could see through it. You cover your mouth, with your eyes wide and shake the feeling away, even though the warmth in your soul persists.

You tried to wipe the thoughts away from you, as mysterious and confusing as they may be. You remembered that weak spot in the base that was going to turn into a leak if you didn’t do anything about it, so you turn your focus to that.

Your tools clanked together while you crouched down over the dent in the metal, and start removing the plates.

Your tools clanged, buzzed and beeped, yet all those noise couldn’t manage to drown out your thoughts, scenes burbling in your mind like bubbles from the ocean floor.

You knew as soon as you heard the roar what was coming for you, but it still felt like he came out of nowhere. The sound shook your entire being, all other life around you darting away and out of sight at the noise, leaving you alone in a barren kelp forest. He shot out of the shadows, a skeletal face appearing out of the deep blue, and you just barely managed to swim out of the way of his snapping jaws.

You were never one to run away from threats- you always believed in standing your ground against danger, no matter how big. But even you knew that going face to face with a reaper leviathan- even as a siren- was ill-advised. You weren’t trying to fight him. You tried to confuse and distract him. You weaved through the seaweed, waited for him to strike and dodge when he gets close, like the world’s most dangerous dance.

You wouldn’t call him a stupid monster. He was nothing like his non-siren counterpart, intelligent and cunning. When he looked at you you could see the laser focus in his eyes, the power of his claws as they closed around empty water you were floating in just mere milliseconds ago. The beat of his tail sent you spinning away, and his teeth almost clamped around your middle.

Those scales. Jagged teeth. Intense eyelights.

“Argh!”

You cut yourself on the open plate. You were distracted, and now you needed a monster candy.

You groan, chewing on the candy like it’d insulted your mother. “I need to focus on something else.”

You decided to go out, and take a splash in the sea. Your head felt hot, maybe a little dip could help cool you down. You needed to hunt anyways.

It was always relaxing to swim in the shallows, less like swimming for your life and more like a leisurely paddle around the pretty scenery around you. You were doing well for a while, focusing on the peepers, catching them with your hands and putting them in a container. But you found yourself twitching, as if you’d just heard something from a distance. You were eye to eye with the abyss. The deep blue, the alien sun’s rays dancing through the waves. You thought about seeing that familiar face swimming back into view, like he was waiting for you. Oh, if you could just swim next to him…

“Brrlrbrlbrrblbr!” You shouted underwater, which in hindsight wasn’t a good idea, as the nearby marine life swam for the crevices.

For the next few days, you tried similar tactics to keep the monster out of your head. In vain, apparently. With the headaches and pounding soul whenever you tried your best to think of something else, you gave in and swam to that area you last saw him, leaving a food trail for him to follow.

This is for science. You told yourself. Nothing else.

You could’ve attracted something else, but you were certain your trail would find the right monster.

It was maybe an hour or so after you made your trail. You didn’t know what drew you to look, you just did. A skull, not too close but not too far from you. If that didn’t jog your memory, his eyelights certainly did.

You floated there as he came closer and closer. There was nothing aggressive about him, he looked curious. Playful, almost. Your breath starts to shake when he was only a kick away from you. From nervousness, excitement, survival instincts… a mix of all of them, maybe.

If anyone else was watching, they’d see something strange. He follows you like a pup would, keeping a safe distance between you. Nothing like the siren you met just a week ago. He happily takes your food offerings, and instead of snatching them up like a piranha, he seems to cherish it, savor it. Nibbling on it politely.

Not only that. As you tried to give him another peeper, he only looks at it, considering what to do with it though he’d just eaten the last ten fish. Then… he nudged it back to you. You look down at it questioningly, and when you see him he’s staring at you intently, eyelights darting down to it and then looking up at you.

As if trying to explain it to you, he bites his teeth around the air.

When you finally concede and take a bite of it, his face lights up. A strange sound fills the air and the water, a delighted trilling sound that you never knew leviathans could make. He dives down, spreading splashes that leave you rocking, swimming around you in excited circles before he resurfaces, closer than he was before.

It was pretty cute interesting. You didn’t know they could be delighted. Or perhaps even show… affection?

You decided to track this data.

Signs of high intelligence.

Capable of non-hostile encounters with different living beings.

Accepts food offerings.

New behavior: Trilling, possible joy response.

Swimming rapidly to show exci—

“Ack!” you yelp when the siren bumps into you. He was close- very close, head above your own, ribcage bumping into your back with every bob and wave. He was practically looming over you, but there was nothing intimidating about the action. His sockets crinkle down at you.

“Um… hi?”

More trilling.

You’re surprised by the sound of your giggling when the siren bumps his head against yours, insistently, making more of those funny sounds- the sounds that made your soul sing with delight.

“Do you wanna come with me?”

He shows no sign of understanding- not yet, anyway. But he follows you when you make your way towards base.

Everything was strange and confusing, leading this giant, dangerous siren to your safe haven. But you also felt excitement and wonder, having him swim next to you.

It would be nice to have a friend in this alien world.
