(Y/n) (L/n)'s Perspective

~ • ~ • ~ • ~

"It was nice of you to invite me to your get together Toriel, b-but I don't know anyone." I blurt into the phone, finally getting a word in after Toriel's rambling. She had invited me to this get together, but it was making me nervous that she'd invite me despite not knowing anyone.

"That's the point! You could make some new friends! Besides! If you ever feel uncomfortable you can always come find me or Asgore! Of course, Gaster will be there and I'm sure he'd have a bone to pick with you~." Toriel purred the last part, much to my confusion. A blush unknowingly crawled upon my cheeks.

"B-but I barely know Asgore... wait, what do you mean by Gaster has a bone to pick with me...?" I questioned, confused.

"Uh, never mind. Just come over! Everything will be fine!"

"D-do I have to wear anything specific?"

"Just some regular clothes! See you soon!" Before I could get another word in, the call ended leaving me confused. A sigh escaped me before I went about my day as usual.

The coffee shop was a little lonely without Gaster to join me, but at least I got my energy back. Though, I also might not go to sleep tonight with all this caffeine going through me mid day. When I finished my food and coffee, I left the building and began heading back home.

"A get together?" I thought aloud as I entered my small apartment. "What do you wear to a get together?"

Rummaging through my closet, I put on something simple. An off the shoulder sweater, tucked into a short pencil skirt and some simple booties. I wasn't quite sure if it was too much, but it at least made me look approachable.

The trip to Toriel's house was surprisingly quick despite it being a thirty minute walk. Maybe I was excited to meet new people, or just happy to see Gaster... again.

"Oh (Y/n) I'm so glad you made it!" Toriel exclaims, embracing me in a tight hug. I couldn't help but smile and return it.

"Of course." I replied, smiling, eventually being removed from her strong grasp by her husband.

"Good evening (Y/n), nice to see you again." Asgore welcomed, putting his paw out. I shook it the best I could, but my hands were admittedly much smaller than his.

"You as well." I was then guided in and introduced to a fish lady named Undyne and a lizard woman named Alphys. There were more people, but Asgore and Toriel had no chance to introduce me as they got whisked away by some other monsters.

Our conversation didn't last much longer than that, especially with both mines and Alphys' social awkwardness and Undyne's overly enthusiastic behavior. After they stepped away, I had to creep back through the crowd to find somewhere else to stand without feeling cramped between monsters.

'So much for a small get together.' I chuckled to myself, though, this perhaps is very small considering they both had been ruling their entire species for a while.

"Hey, are you ok? You look a little overwhelmed." A child's voice spoke. Looking down, I saw a girl probably around Sans age, 9-12. Surprised and taken aback I barely managed a response.

"U-Uh... ye-yeah I'm fine, just not used to so many people in one space." I smile, a little awkwardly. 'Gosh why can't I even talk to children normally?!'

"I figured. I'm Frisk, the monster ambassador. You must be (Y/n), it's nice to finally meet you." She said with a smile, putting out her hand. I shake it and smile back once more.

"You as well."

"Frisk, mom wants to talk to you." Another human appeared, they almost looked like Frisk, just brighter brown eyes that almost looked red.

"Ok, Chara. I'll talk to you later (Y/n). Enjoy the rest of your night!"

'She was sweet.' I smiled to myself before walking over to the table to grab a drink. On my way to grab a beverage though, someone bumped into me, sending me tumbling right into someone who effortlessly caught me.

"We really need to stop meeting like this." A familiar voice chuckled in my ear. I could feel my cheeks glow red as I quickly sputter out an apology, finding Gaster to be my savior. "It's alright, (Y/n). I've very quickly realized how clumsy you are."

A loud whine left me involuntarily, Gaster was quick to laugh with a yellow dust coating his cheekbones. Embarrassed I cover my mouth and pout.

"It's alright, (Y/n). I'm just glad to see you here."

"Thanks for letting me walk home with you. I need to walk off that pie and alcohol." I laughed, Gaster smiling in return. Sans and Papyrus had stayed at Toriel's for a sleepover with Frisk, Chara, and Asriel.

"Not a problem, my dear, though I still would've preferred walking you to your home." Gaster replied with a chuckle. We were both a little tipsy. The two ex royalty had broken out the champagne and really wanted to keep everyone's glasses full.

"You're probably one of the nicest people I know." I stated confidently without any prompt.

"Oh I'm sure I'm not the nicest."

"Maybe... but you're better than a lot of people I've known."

"Thank you, (Y/n). That means a lot to me." Gaster smiled. I couldn't stop myself from admiring him as we few nearer to his home.

The moment almost felt like that of an ending first date. Things have gone well, you've gotten along, and now that you're out the door... our gaze never left each other's.

Tipsy mind and dizzying vision wasn't very helpful. Now all that was left in this imaginary world of my drunken mind was a kiss. How it happened, I was never sure. All I knew was that my lips were on his teeth and we were inside, my body both heavy and light as we went to his room.

This was strange and almost felt like pure bliss. Except nothing about this was pure. Drunken make out session with a skeleton who probably didn't see me as anything more than a friend, but I was loving the attention.

Touch-starved, I believe the word he called me was:

We were standing off to the side when Papyrus rushed up and hugged me. It was surprising and I froze. It was inevitable that I returned his affection but once he had ran off once more, Gaster inquired on my ways.

"You froze." He stated as soon as the attention was away from me again. "It's ok to get hugged and hug someone back you know."

Perhaps he had said it as a joke, but that bland and distasteful 'oh' had left my lips before I had time to stop it and possibly replace it with a more... normal statement.

"Are you truly that touch-starved you don't know how to react to someone's embrace?" I believe he didn't mean to announce that question, but it kind of stung. Yet... at the same time, I recounted every time someone's ever touched me where I both shriveled away and crept closer for more.

Perhaps that's why my lips hadn't wanted to leave his teeth. His hands never traveled far after he had lied me down. They stayed either on my hips or on my face and in my hair.

Perhaps most would call that a gentleman's move, but to my drunken, inexperienced self it seemed like a tease. One I couldn't bare with the lack of physical affection throughout my life.

It wasn't much longer till the world faded to black and the next thing I heard was my quiet alarm and the shuffling of the panicked skeleton. With no memory of what happened, I awkwardly apologized.

Gaster remembered everything though and was more embarrassed than you were. How foolish was he to think you wanted him. He knew he was drunk as well as you and that he couldn't think. Just happy things hadn't gone further.

It was both depressing and infuriating to him to watch you express embarrassment for "stealing" his bed when the reality was you had shared it. However, if he could still be your friend he'd prefer to keep it there than lose you over kisses that almost meant nothing now.

HEY THERE!

So I'm (for the most part) back. I'm sorry about the ridiculously long wait, but it's been difficult to write recently so even though I do know what's coming next. The next chapter should hopefully be out in a couple weeks.

I'll do the best I can to not make a habit of updating this story once or twice a year (I promise I'm not avoiding this). However, I can't make any promises that this story will be consistently updated.

Yes, there will still be updates. Yes, I'm trying to keep them at a decent length.

I know what's going be out next, so prepare for confusion, maybe some smut cause why the hell not, and more Gaster x Reader (obviously).

ANYWAY! I hope you enjoy this chapter and I will (hopefully) see you in my notifications!

Thank you <3
