Chapter 5 – You Like to Cuddle

What…
In…
STARLIGHTS NAME WERE YOU DOING?!

It felt like your face was on fire, and it might as well have been from the orange clouding your vision!

Using him as a pillow was one thing!

BUT HIM WRAPPING HIS ARMS AROUND YOU AND YOU HUGGING HIM BACK WAS COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!

As you laid, resting your (h/c) head on Papyrus’s somehow soft chest, you thought back to the events of last night and how you might have ended up in the predicament. First, you watched five movies with everyone until most of them fell asleep, then Blake took Mina to bed and headed off to bed himself. Next, you took Lily to bed after talking with Muffet briefly. The last thing you remember was getting ready for bed and the falling asleep with your back to the skeleton you were currently using at a pillow.

Alright, so none of that answered how you ended up laying almost on top of Papyrus, but it did answer why you were in the bed with him.

Suddenly, a memory smash right into the side of your head, reminding you of a time you had slept over at a friend’s house when you were much younger. You woke up crushing your poor friend half to death, which was when you learned that you REALLY liked to cuddle in your sleep.

That’s just great…

Again, now you know why you’re cuddling Papyrus, but why was he cuddling back?

Before you could even think of trying to escape this embarrassing situation (face is still burning red), you felt the body beneath your head stir slightly.

In fear, you slowly lifted your head to see a half-opened eye socket and you could feel it staring down at you. Even more heat rushed to your face and your hands instinctively latched onto the monster’s orange hoodie. Before you could panic further, you felt a gentle hand rubbing circles into your back as a soft, genuine smile crossed Papyrus’s teeth.

“ ‘morning,” Papyrus slurred, his voice deep and laced with exhaustion.

He wasn’t fully awake, that much was certain.

“G-good mor-morning…” You muttered, praying to whatever (god or gods or stars) that was out there, that Papyrus would NOT remember this and no one else would see this. This was not cool, especially since this was only the second time you’ve ran into this skeleton.

Papyrus hummed gently and tightened his grip around your shoulders and waist, bringing you closer to his body. He then rested his skull on your forehead, his black sockets staring into your (e/c) eyes. “slept well?” He slurred once more.

“Y-yeah…” You hissed out and carefully began to untangle yourself from the tired pile of bones. “Y-you?”

Stars, you were a stuttering mess right now, and all because of this.

“mmmm, slept grea’,” Papyrus answered, taking advantage of your struggling and moved his head from yours and onto your shoulder.

WHY IS HE SO CUDDLY?! AND WHY DO I FIND IT CUTE?! You screamed internally and carefully pushed away from Papyrus’s chest, feeling his ribs press against your fingers and palm.

“P-paps…” what the heck’s with the nickname? “C-could you perhaps let me g-go?” You asked and struggled to move his head from your shoulder.

“not… yet… too tired…” Papyrus responded and nuzzled into your shoulder more, to your utmost dismay.

Just as you were about to plead with the half-awake skeleton monster again, soft snores filled your ears. With a heavy groan, you lowered you head onto Papyrus’s shoulder, next to his head, and started wiggling downward and out of the grasp of the lazy bones. Just as you were about to make your escape, a hand latched onto your left wrist and yanked you upward again, but this time, you ended up beneath the skeleton.

“ ‘m too tired… stay still…” Papyrus nearly growled as his black, void-like, sockets glared down at you.

In response, you grabbed the front of his hoodie with your right hand, shaking. Papyrus gently took that hand and lowered himself to be laying on top of you, but he did not release your left hand, holding it tightly, to prevent you from escaping. What you didn’t notice until later was that he intertwined your right hands as he held your left wrist.

There goes my only chance of escape… You thought and turned your head slightly, catching the red glow of the wall clock. 5:32 AM? It’s still so freaking early! No wonder he’s so cranky and tired!

You turned back to the skeleton to see him staring at you. Your face immediately heated up again and you wiggled your hands, to try and pull away, but failed when he did not budge. Instead, the two of you kept eye contact until you broke it, not sure if Papyrus was actually awake or not.

“sorry…”

It was barely audible, but you somehow managed to hear it. Snapping your attention back to the skeleton, you saw his face bright orange with sockets wide, but the moment you blinked, the extra weight on top of you disappeared, as if nothing was there. With a slow, hard blink, you stared at the spot where Papyrus was just now. Slowly, you sat up in shock and looked around the room.

No sign of the orange wearing skeleton.

He was gone, vanished. Almost as if he… teleported? Was that even possible? Even for monsters, that kind of thing seemed… a bit iffy. And Mettaton never said anything about that kind of ability.

With the wave of confusion, a new wave of exhaustion filled your body and you collapse back onto the bed and into the pillow Papyrus left behind.

He left his pillow… Blake said he’s a friend of Muffet’s, perhaps I can give it to her to give to him… You thought as sleep consumed your mind once again, this time, though, you were surrounded by the lingering scent of Papyrus and the warmth of his arms and body around you.

Hmmm… smells like honey and cigarettes…
I'll be perfectly honest when I say that I nearly died from how excited I was to write this chapter. It's just so cute! Hope you enjoy! Hopefully we'll enter a normal schedule of submission.
