So uh..
Ya.. This is a thing..
My creativity knows no bounds.
You know... I was really tempted to make Goth a guy in this.
But just for the sake of actual human logic certain skeletons are gonna be female.
By the way, just a heads up. This chappy might be a bit fast paced.
Also keep in mind that this IS a fan fiction.... I'ma do whatever I want with it.
So those of you that dislike this kind of fic then leave. It's a Multi part short story anyways. Or WAS supposed to be... xD
Technically I could put this into a book... But I'm to lazy...
Im also rewriting very few things since I don't like how I wrote them.
Just a heads up.

BY THE WAY!
The cringe is real.
I'm rewriting this.
Look out for 'Gods Gate' whenever I decide to release it.
It's gonna be an actual book.
Yay me.
Think of this as a rough draft.
Anyway,
onto your reading.
-

There are two societies, each ruled by different laws.

The human society, run by government involvement, a president with a corrupted agenda. Experimental situations made by scientists to try and advance the human race above the monster race. A place where every soul is turned into a weapon at a young age.

Yes, souls are the embodiment of both human and monster kind. But they are a weakness that can be easily corrupted and manipulated. To remedy this, scientists have taken up experimentation to see if they could in fact weaponize souls. Which worked to a certain degree because now people who have been experimented on have children, those children have weaponized souls.

Soul Weaponized Manipulation or SWM, which means souls that turn into the chosen weapon of a person's mental state and or if someone likes a certain weapon. If someone likes hammers, there soul will turn into a hammer. In a weaponized state, human souls cannot be damaged unless the weapon breaks completely. In turn it will shatter said soul.

Now they just need to figure out monsters weaknesses. Except they have no monsters to experiment on. So they set traps and ever so often, a guard monster making their rounds 'disappears'. Humans, from these monsters, were able to construct magic cancelling bonds that can be attached anywhere. Wrists, necks, ankles, some going as far to make earnings, belts, as well as hats.

But the monsters could never really find out why guard monsters were disappearing..

The monster society, overruled by a king and a queen. They are kind(sorta) and don't want to fight humanity. But if humans dare hurt a monster, then they will attack relentlessly until they get said monster back.

Monsters have built a vast majority of machines, wooden sculptures, and have come quite a long way. They are much more advanced than human kind. But they still fear said fleshly beings. So they decided to build a wall. But not even a wall, they had realized, would stop the humans from trying to attack.

So they set up sentries and guard monsters all over cities and towns. Monsters would also patrol the outside wall on the human side for trouble.

This is where the story begins.~

A very brightly clothed skeleton was patrolling with his best friend, trusty roller in hand. His rounds today consisted of him going around the bottom of the wall looking for trouble.

Normally he wouldn't find any trouble and thought that his best friend- who was in the same squad as himself -might want to go with him this time. When he asked said friend, they said yes! So that's where they are now.

Patrolling.

On the human side of the wall.

"Come on Goth! Your being slow!" Palette was doing a playful speed walk ahead of Goth, but Goth was not having it.

"Palette. I'm not playing your games today. We have a job to do!" Goth exclaims with frustration. Her death scythe in hand.

Palette huffs, while puffing out his cheeks in a cute manner, "But Gooooooth, Normally there are no humans out here anyways!" He slows down his pace to match Goth's normal walking pace, twirling his roller like a baton.

Goth frowns at him, "But Palette, anything could happen. That's why you have to pay attention and not fool around." Goth tries to explain, but Palette just brushes it off.

"Pshhhhh, I've been told that too many times Goth." Palette becomes serious for a moment, standing tall like a soldier on the battlefield, his face never losing his triumphant smile as he fixes his cap. All playfulness seeming to hide behind his mask of bravery.

Goth's expression morphs into shock as she looks at the very confident, fearless looking Palette.

A lot of the time, Goth forgets that Palette is in fact a soldier with both his parents being apart of the Royal Guard. It has to do with his overly excitable, positivity ridden, attitude. His child like behavior has to do with it also, but he can become serious at any time.

Palette is two feet taller so he has to constantly look down at Goth. Goth doesn't mind looking up at him though, his beautiful star light eyes, the way he tilts his head in a cute and curious way. She loves everything about him from his positivity, to his plainly adorable obliviousness. She could get lost in his expressions all day he has so many!

Goth has had a crush on Palette since they had graduated high school. Her parents could see it. Palette's parents could see it. The only one left seeming oblivious to it was Palette.

But even Palette wasn't that thick headed. He actually caught on right away which is strange considering he's normally very oblivious, so much so that he will walk right into a tree at times. Palette just refuses to acknowledge Goth as anything other then a friend. Despite how he may feel, he doesn't want to lose there friendship.

Palette slings an arm around Goths neck, his playfulness returning as they continue walking.

Goths cheekbones light up a beautiful violet color, as she tries to hide in her crimson red scarf that she got from Geno when she was born.

Palette stares down at her in concern, "Are you alright Goth? You seem a little warm." Unwrapping his arm from her, feeling her head with the hand that wasn't holding his roller, "Are you sick?" He asks curiously, playfulness dancing in his eyes sockets.

Goth just ends up sinking more into her scarf while watching where they're going, refusing to answer him. She pulls down her beautifully white cloaks hood as well.

Palette chuckles and slings his arm around Goth's neck again. He pulls her closer to him.

Which ends up making Goth's entire face a violet hue. She unconsciously snuggles up to Palette's side as he brings his arm that was previously slung around her neck to the small of her back, his hand resting on her hip.

Goth doesn't want to admit it but this was kinda nice, being alone with Palette. Herself snuggled up to Palette's side as he takes confident strides down a set path with a set destination. She wishes upon all the stars in the sky that they could be together, but the kingdom has a caste system.

~

The son or daughter of high ranking monsters must marry and or claim a monster of the same stature as their parents. This is so monster kind can stay strong and become stronger if possible.

Since Palette's Parents are at the top of the Royal Guard he is able to court any female monster in his parents rank or one rank below. Since there aren't many monsters who have had children in the highest tier of the Royal Guard. But he also has to try and follow the Guard rules since he technically isn't in the Royal Guard. Accept his parents are in said Royal Guard so in actuality he is too. Rules are rules okay!

Any monsters in the regular Guard are able to court or claim anyone they choose accept for people in the Royal Guard. BUT if a monster- mainly directed towards females -in the regular Guard has an any sexual interaction with a male and or female monster from the Royal Guard then said monster in the regular Guard will get in trouble. They will be stripped of their rank and once the child is born, said child will be taken away to be given to the father or 'mother'. Since most males cannot bare children, they are exempt from having their children taken from them.

This is only null and void if said expectant monster is unable to tell the regular Guard of the pregnancy. This is also null and void if said monster reaches Royal Guard rank with in the time before said child is born. It should also be stated that anyone within the Royal Guard will not be punished since it is deemed 'not their fault' that such atrocity was able to occur. Royal Guards are also deemed royalty by default since they have gone through harsh training and trekked through the ranks to get where they are today. Thus Royal Guards don't get punished at all.

Unfortunately for Goth, her family is of no high status. Their not even apart of the Guard. The only reason why Goth signed up in the first place was because Palette begged her too right out of high school. She just, couldn't say no to his puppy face! His cuteness overruled her own instincts ok!

Goth's parents are being paid well now which is why she had also signed up. Despite Goth's parents telling her that she didn't need to go, that she could stay at home. Goth wanted to do this, to support her smaller siblings and her parents. Since Palette had told her how much she would be paid. She was more than happy to sign up. Two of her only requests to her contract being that if she wanted to she could retire at anytime, and if need be she could take a paid vacation however long it may be. The Guards immediately accepting her proposal since they were in desperate need of a reaper.

That was two years ago.

Goth's younger brothers Shino, and Xahji finally have a proper education like Raven and herself and she was content with that. Although Raven still had two years left until she graduates.

~

Goth was fiddling with her scythe the as they continued walking, well, Palette was the one pulling her gently along. Her blush had gone down but she can't help but wonder why Palette was holding her so close. He never holds her this close, his hand is even on her hip! Does he like her? She didn't know. Goth looked up at Palette who is looking away from her with his yellowish green hued blush spreading across his face, "P-Palette?" She stuttered.

Palette flinched at her tone, soft and melodic like the wind. He felt hot and Goth being so close to him wasn't helping. But holding her felt so nice to him. He stops walking his grip around her tightens, he knows what's going on but he doesn't know if Goth would want to...... 'assist' him. Not like he hadn't been through this before. Goth just somehow, triggered it, at no fault of her own. His mouth felt dry as he glanced from the road to her.

His brain was fighting internally. One part was saying that Goth wouldn't want this. That he could get her pregnant. While the other just wanted to pin her, do whatever he wanted to her. Indulge himself as she withered under him.

He shook his head of those thoughts. He refused to do that to his best friend! They were friends for Peete's sake! Although, he remembered the crush Goth had on him. But Palette can't have her! Hell, he didn't even know if he liked her like that!

And besides, the kingdoms rules prevent it. He couldn't court her unless she moved up more in the ranks.

"Palette are you okay?" She asked, noticing his constant glances at her as well as his grip tightening around her. She is really worried for her friend as they stood there.

"Y-Ya I'm ok Goth." His voice was strained as he stuttered and went to walk again, but Goth kept him still.  His arm fell from her side, releasing her. Her scythe disappeared as she reached up and cupped his cheeks and turned his face towards hers. She inspected him, feeling his skull, turning his head from side to side gently. He glanced into her eyes then down at her lips.

Looking at her now, he was mentally losing to the heat coursing through his bones. All he wanted was her. To feel her lips on his, crying out his name in pleasure. He blinked snapping himself out of his own thoughts again when she spoke.

Noticing his constant gaze, her violet hued blushed returned, "U-Um you seem really hot Palette. I t-think your sick." She stuttered, as she retracted her hands. Not really understanding the situation at hand and Palette's weird behavior, she started to become very hot as well. The violet hue on her face becoming that much more vibrant.

Goth couldn't comprehend what was coursing through her bones, yes she had felt this before but was able to pay no mind to it until now. She was 20 for crying out loud! The heat is suffocating with Palette just standing there staring at her. All she wanted was to feel him, let him ravish her body. She wanted all of him but she couldn't move. Would he even accept her? Her body nonetheless? It made her feel insecure as she wrapped her arms around herself in what Palette thought was a cute manner, her eyes traveled to the ground beneath them.

But why were her thoughts of THAT. She has a crush on him yes but, it shouldn't be affecting her this much. Goth's own thoughts scared her to the point she kinda just wanted to go back on the other side of the wall. It was just a silly crush.. right? She tried to think rationally but her brain was focused elsewhere. She looked up into Palette's star light eyes.

Goth's one eye light was wide, larger than normal with need dancing in her eye sockets. While Palette's star light eyes held hunger. They wanted each other.

With Goth just standing there like an adorable lost puppy, all of Palette's rational thinking finally flew out the window. He couldn't take it any longer. If she said stop he would instantly but, if she didn't... Palette didn't want to think he just wanted to do, and this heat was almost too painful! This would help the both of them, he hoped.

Palette smiled nervously. "Y-You think I'm sick?" He stutteredly asked as he stepped an inch closer to her. Catching one of her wrists, he pulled her gently towards him, his index finger going under her chin lifting her face towards his as he sealed his lips over hers.

Goth's eye sockets widened in shock for a moment but it quickly melted away as she melted into the kiss instantly, closing her eyes. All of Goth's rational thinking was out the window at this point as well.

Palette threw his trusty roller away, it disappearing with a puff of multi colored smoke. He heaved Goth up as she instinctively wrapped her legs around his waist her arms wrapped loosely around his neck. She was quite light for the average female skeleton. The kiss became more heated into a full blown make out session. Palette had walked into a denser part of the forest and pinned Goth against a tree.

I guess Palette didn't need to ask if Goth was okay with 'assisting' him. He didn't hear any objections from her ether.

~time skip because I refuse to write a lemon~

An hour had passed as Palette and Goth came down from their high. Goth was snuggled up against Palette, his back was against a tree as he had his arms around Goth loosely in a comfortable embrace. Her vibrantly white cloak, she had gotten for her 10th birthday from Reaper, being the one thing she put back on after the 'deed' had been done.

Goth blush was very propionate as she buried her face into Palette's loosely buttoned shirt, "T-That w-was.. Uh..." She stuttered unable to find the right words.

Palette's grip tightened on her. He felt guilty, "I'm sorry Goth." He mumbled, looking off into the distance.

Goth clenched her fists in an angry manner. She straddled his hips and forcibly turned his face towards hers, "Don't you dare apologize Palette." She huffed looking into his star light eyes that had widened in surprise, "I was fine with it and so were you." She cupped his cheeks in a loving manner.

He grit his teeth, "And what if you get pregnant? I can't court you. We shouldn't have done this, consensual or not Goth." He was being stern for good reason, she could get in trouble for this and she knew it.

Goth sighed her eyes searching his for regret but she saw none, only guilt. She softly kissed him putting all her emotions into that kiss. He kissed back instantly pouring the same amount or even more emotion into the kiss.

When they pulled apart Goth spoke first, "So what if I get pregnant Pally, I've wanted a family with the one I love for a while now." She mumbled, gently placing her skull against his.

Palette puffed out a sigh, missing the part were Goth said 'love'. "Only you would think of this as a good thing." He chuckled his arms wrapping around her waist once more pulling her flush against him, he kissed the bridge of her nose lovingly.

"Palette," She was looking at him with so much love he almost had to do a double take after what he heard her say next. "I love you." Her voice held no hesitation, no stutter, nothing to indicate that she was unsure.

His grip on her tightened as the words slipped out like a secret only between the two of them, "I love you too Goth." He brought her into another loving kiss.

~time skip because again I refuse to write a lemon~

It had been 7 months since that incident. Palette nor Goth breathed a word about it to anyone. Eventually both of them seemed to have forgotten about it, accept for Goth. Palette returned to his normal self while Goth returned to her normal routine of work.

Goth had been eating a lot more then normal. She knows she's pregnant but is to afraid to even speak to Palette about it, for a certain reason. Her clothes fit fine, although she gained some 'invisible' weight, nothing really jaw dropping though. Palette has noticed this and constantly asks Goth everyday if she's okay. So just to calm Palette's nerves Goth decided to talk to her mom Geno about this while taking a 4 month vacation to sort herself out.

~

Currently, Goth is riding in a car, relaxing as she's being driven home from the Guard's headquarters.

When she first arrived at the guard she had no idea that she would come this far with getting two promotions in the time span she had been there. She was one promotion away from Royal Guard status. Being there two years prior to now really helped her as well. Plus she hasn't taken a vacation until now ether.

Goth hadn't realized how much she missed her family. Of course she can call and text them but just being there with them in their arms means so much more. She wonders if anything has changed with how long she's been away.

Her small hometown comes into view. All the houses still the same. School still the same. Restaurants and stores still the same.

The only thing that seemed to change is the home the car pulls up to. The house was a two story that was painted white, with a small patio in the front. Nothing really special about it. Originally it was a small bakery with two rooms in the back. It is a definite upgrade from before. And Goth liked it, no, she loved it. She hoped everyone had their own room now, hoped Geno had an actual kitchen so she could cook all her favorite recipes.

Goth didn't tell anyone she was coming home for four months. She wanted to surprise them.

It was 6:00, around the time Raven, Shino, and Xahji should be getting up. Goth breaths trying to control her emotions as the front door opened slightly.

Raven should be 18 by now. Shino and Xahji should be 16 if Goth's math is in fact correct. She has presents for them from the four birthdays she's missed.

Raven's voice can be heard yelling at Geno. "Mom! I'm heading out first! Love you!" She jumps out the door, her backpack on and clutching tightly to a lunchbox that Geno obviously made for her. Her full sprint comes to a sudden halt when she notices the all black car with tinted windows. She blinks at the car and turns back towards the house yelling to Geno again. "Mom! I think Uncle Fresh is here again!" Goth's sister looks slightly different, more like Reaper then Geno. More mature and tomboyish.

Raven has a white sweatshirt on, a grey square patterned scarf wrapped around her neck, black jeans that hug her form nicely, and white sneakers.

The driver, a bulky wolf monster, turns back to Goth, a gentle toothy smile on his lips. "It's now or never Mis.Afterdeath." He chuckles softly as he waits for Goth to make a move.

Geno emerges from the small bakery turned house, her white jacket zipped up, with a black dress underneath, the crimson scarf from her deceased older brother around her neck with white sneakers. The white fluff over her right eye on display, representing how sickly she had been- still is -.

"Just the same. Momma never changes." Goth mumbles, silent tears fall from her eye sockets. She wipes them away. Goth hadn't brought a lot with her, most of her clothes were already home anyways. All she needed to bring were her gifts that are neatly packed in a small suitcase. She gripped the case tightly.

Geno glances at the car then at Raven and beckons her over. Raven obeys and they go back and forth in a small conversation. Until Geno glances at the tinted window car again, examining it.

Goth reaches for the door handle and the door pops open, catching Geno's attention instantly.

"Goodbye Goth It was a pleasure driving you." He turns back towards the road waiting for her to exit his car.

Goth nods her head in acknowledgement placing a foot on the sidewalk. She emerges from the car and closes the cars door with a click. The driver pulls away going back down the road towards the Guards headquarters.

Geno tears up, putting her boney hands to her mouth as a muffled sob rips threw her throat.

Raven looks at Geno in confusion, she then glances back towards were the car had been to see Goth standing there, holding a small suitcase tightly. She also tears up, dropping her lunch box she runs full sprint at Goth, "GOTHY!" Raven almost tackles her sister to the ground in a hug if it weren't for Goth's strength from all her training. Raven clutches to her sister tightly as sobs rip through her throat. Goth returns the loving embrace with her own tears. "You're *hic* finally home. You're *hic* home." Raven is a foot smaller then Goth. Which didn't surprise Goth since she had been away for two whole years.

Geno had bolted back inside the house. What can only be assumed as Geno and Reapers bedroom had their window cracked just a bit to let fresh air in. A door could be heard slamming open and Geno shouting, "REAPER GET YOUR LAZY ASS UP!" A few pillows could be seen banging against the window.

Goth giggles as she holds onto Raven tightly in tears, "If that doesn't wake Shino and Xahji up then I don't know what will." She mumbles.

Ravens own sobs of happiness had died down a little but her tears are still present. She laughs, "Shino and *sniff* Xahji are as lazy as ever." Raven closes her eye sockets as she continues to hug her big sister.

Reaper's very groggy scratchy voice can be heard just much quieter than Geno, "I'm up! I'm up! Did someone die?! Geno hunny wh-" He became too quiet to hear properly as he, Goth assumed, was trying to calm his hysterically crying wife. Geno was never really good with emotions so whenever she was upset or crying, Reaper would make her hot chocolate and cuddle with her. No one really saw Geno upset except her family which even that was few and far in between.

Goth used both her hands lifting Ravens skull up and kissed her forehead, "Raven as much as I love this, we should really go inside. I don't want Cray of all people to know I'm home." She shudders at the thought of Cray.

Raven made a face at his name, "If he ever comes near you again, he's going to face my knuckle sandwich." She deadpans.

Goth smiled at her, "Now, now, no need for violence my little bird." Raven released Goth and took hold of her hand.

Raven grinned at her, "Guess who's NOT going to school today! Meeeeeee!" She took off at a full sprint again, Goth easily matching her speed as they bolted inside the house.

Once inside Goth could see Reaper in the living room, sitting down with Geno as she continued to sob hysterically. The moment she heard Reapers voice Goth instantly teared up again, "Geno hunny, tell me what happened." Reaper was the same, same cloak, same Gaster Blaster pin, same everything.

Goth glanced at Raven who looked like she wanted a hug again as she clutched onto Goth's hand tightly. They quietly laughed at each other which caught Reaper attention. Goth assumed Geno was too shocked to tell him anything.

Reaper glance up at them only for his eyes sockets to grow wide at Goth. "G-Goth?" Reaper stuttered as tears built up in his eye sockets. He stood up and approached Goth with the happiest smile she had ever seen him give. It was hard to make her father stutter, much less him giving a smile THAT wide. Very, very much less see him cry because he was on the verge of crying.

Goth put her small suitcase on the ground and looked at Reaper again. "I-I'm home Dad." Goth stuttered, as tears fell from her eye sockets again. Raven released Goths hand and Goth went running into Reaper's already open arms.

(PUCK THESE FEELS MAN! HAPPY GO FLUFF TIME HAS GONE BITTER SWEET!)

"My little girl is finally home." He mumbled and kissed the top of her hood as his arms tightened around her smaller form.

Geno was in no way ready for her little girls return home. She never expected it and was trying to decide whether or not to scold Goth for making her worry, or to just give her the biggest hug and tell her how much momma loved her.

(Hit the 4k wordmark a while ago... I should really stop...)

Goth started giggling as she pushed on her father's chest who had tightened his hold on her once again, "Dad I need to hug Mom so she stops crying." That was an understatement considering Geno was still an emotional wreck from Goth's surprise drop by.

Reaper sighed and let her go reluctantly, "Fine. But you better go upstairs and wake up Shino and Xahji." He grumbled in disappointment.

Goth nodded as she wiped tears from her eyes. She walked into the living room and sat down next to Geno who instantly engulfed her in a hug, "Goth *sob* your finally home. *hic* My little *sniff* girl is finally *sniff* safe and sound." Geno pulled Goth into a really tight embrace.

"M-Momma you're c-crushing me!" Goth wheezes out with a slight chuckle.

"Oh shut up, *sniff* I haven't seen you in two *sniff* years. The least you can do is let me hug you." Geno tightens the embrace, hiding her face on Goth's shoulder, "And you scared the shit outta me with that damn window tinted car. I thought you were some sort of high class monster that wanted money." Goth giggles at that.

Goth smiles and returns the tight embrace with the same amount of pressure. "I love you momma." Goth mumbles as she also hides her face on Geno's shoulder.

"I love you too Goth." Geno mumbles back.

I like bittersweet scenes >w>....
