It was officially autumn.

And Ink was rather excited.

He packed extra papers and paint to bring to work, to make some decorations for the season he loved. Ink just couldn't hold back his excitement for autumn. When he woke up that morning to see the leaves fluttering from the trees, he couldn't contain his cheer when he saw the orange leaves on the trees.

He even came to the Office at 5 in the morning to start decorating for the party. Since the branch had really good numbers, Tainted allowed them to have an autumn themed party, mostly for Ink, since loved it so much. He had already sent out a memo about it on Monday, so everyone was bringing in snacks. And since Fell was doing better, he was able to come to the party, too, so it was going to be fun.

Unfortunately for Ink, he was required to invite all of his workers, so that meant Edge as well. No matter how much he wanted to throw that jerk off the roof, he had to invite him too.

That was the only part of autumn he didn't like.

~~~~~~

Blue woke up to his alarm, him sitting up happily before turning off the alarm.

He and Edge slept inside of the same large sized bed, but since Edge hadn't come back from his angry drive last night, Blue was all alone inside of the large bed, him cuddling with his pillow. He would've been cuddling with his stuffed animals, but Edge said they were for kids and made Blue get rid of them.

Blue almost teared up thinking about it.

He really missed Mr. Bun Bun.

Everything inside of their shared house was for Edge. Edge wanted the red and black walls, Edge wanted the black curtains, and even Edge had chosen the house itself.

But, Blue was ok with that. It's not like he hated how dark and evil the house looked, because he totally didn't.

Ok, maybe he did, but he still cared about Edge, he didn't want to disappoint him.

But something Lust and Death had said made him rethink over it.

"Why do you stay with Edge?" Lust said, "Because he didn't even consider you for a moment."

"He just wants to protect me!" Blue defended his Fiancé, "He thinks if I act like a child, I'll be hurt!"

"It just looks like he's annoyed by you," Death said, "It just looks like he's controlling you."

"He's not!" Blue said.

"Who choose where to go to dinner tonight?" Death asked Blue.

"Edge did," Blue said, "But that doesn't mean anything."

"Who choose what you wnated to drink?" Lust asked him next.

"Edge did, but I'm fine with Pepsi!" Blue defended him again.

"Who choose how you walk?"

"Edge does, but-"

"Who choose who you're allowed to talk to?"

"...Edge did."

"Who choose what kind of car you bought?"

"...Edge..."

"Who choose where you worked?"

"...He did..."

"Who choose what you did for prom..."

"..."

"Who did, Blue?" Death persisted.

"Edge did,but just because he chooses some things doesn't mean he's a bad guy!" Blue said.

"Has he ever said 'I love you' to you?" Lust asked Blue.

Blue froze, thinking over their conversations.

"Um... I think..." Blue said, "But I care about Edge, I'm sure he loves me!"

"Caring isn't the same as love," Death pointed out, drinking his water, "Do you love him, or do you just not want to disappoint him?"

Blue couldn't get that last sentence put of his head.

Of course he loved Edge, right? If he didn't, then why did he marry him? Why did he get rid of so many things he liked for Edge?

To not disappoint him.

Blue shook his head before climbing out of the bed he didn't really like, changing out of his pajamas into his work clothes rather quickly. He then made himself some breakfast tacos, leaving some extras in the fridge for Edge with a note.

'If you don't go to work, here's some breakfast from the Magnificent Blue!

~Love Blue'

After Blue had made his Fiancé breakfast that probably wasn't going to be eaten, Blue made a beeline towards the door, climbing into his car and quickly turning the keys inside of it. Usually, whenever Edge ran off like that, he came home drunk in the middle of the night and started yelling at Blue, so Blue waited until he fell asleep and helped him,over his hangover.

Blue didn't like it when Edge was like that.

Blue halted in his tracks, the realization bubbling inside of his soul.

When did he like Edge?

"No," Blue said to himself, shaking the thought away, "That's just doubts, all relationships have that."

Blue took one last look at his shared house, driving off with a note of uncertainty still lingering inside of his head.

Was he really happy with Edge?

~~~~~~

Blue didn't go directly to work.

He actually was going to his brothers house, Honey, and picking up his treat that Honey had made for his autumn party that day. Blue would've made it himself, but Edge didn't like sugar at the house, so he had thrown the bag away when Blue had bought it, along with some of the other sweets he had bought. Nothing dessert-like was allowed in the house.

So Blue could help the Office, he asked his brother to make a treat for his co-workers. He was rather excited when Honey had agreed, since Honey made lots of treats, but mostly brownies he never let Blue touch, because as he claimed, they would make him 'high'. Blue never really understood what he meant, but he listened to him anyway.

Honey lived in a small house on the edge of the city, unlike Blue, who lived smack dab right in the center of it all. Blue didn't like living in the city, but once again, Edge chose the location and not Blue.

His house had light orange walls and a grey roof, the windows were constantly covered by blinds. Honey didn't leave his house often, since his job was online, so it didn't surprise Blue that his orange car was inside of the driveway.

"Honey!" Bkue called, knocking on his brown door.

"I'm coming, hold on!" Honey yelled from inside.

Some bangs and shuffling could be heard before his older brother opened the door, leaning against the door frame. He was tall and skinny, with an orange hoodie along with baggy blue jeans. In his hand was a large tray covered by tinfoil, a bit of smoke drifting out from behind him in the house.

"How's my little bro doing?" Honey asked, rubbing Blue's head.

"The Magnificent Blue is going to have the best autumn party yet!" Blue said happily, "Do you have the snack?"

"Yup," Honey said, handing him the covered tray, "Made ya rice crispies. Have a fun party, bro, tell me how it went after work."

"Will do!" Blue said, hugging Honey before going back to his car, setting the tinfoil covered tray in the passengers seat before setting off for work finally, waving goodbye to his older brother.

Blue really liked his older brother. Sure, sometimes he got a bit lazy and he smoked a lot, but he really was there for Blue when Blue needed it. He always protected his little brother when he was in danger. Blue mostly listened to him, but not when he said Edge was abusive, because Blue swore to everyone, including himself, that his Fiancé was not abusive.

After some time, Blue arrived at work, parking in his assigned parking spot before climbing out with the wrapped tray. He could tell that Edge wasn't there yet, and he probably won't be showing up at work that day, judging by how he was in one of his mad moods. Blue tried to comfort him,in these moods, but Edge needed space to cool down on these ones.

And alcohol.

Lots of alcohol to calm him down.

But Blue was pretty proud of himself. He was being more mature about people saying things about Edge, he was growing a bit used to it. He stopped crying now, he only teared up! That was good in his opinion.

Since Blue had to stop at his brothers house, which was the opposite direction of his job, he was the last one to arrive at work. And he was happily surprised by what he saw.

Ink had decorated the walls with paintings of trees and leaves, little folded leaves hanging from the ceiling. It was simple, but at the same time really nice. Blue thought it looked amazing.

"It's autumn!" Ink squealed, grabbing Blue when he walked in, "It's officially autumn and we're going to celebrate it!"

"It looks amazing in here Ink!" Blue said, "I'm so excited too! Your autumn parties are the best, probably because the Magnificent Blue is there!"

"It's autumn!" Ink cheered, tossing his arms into the air as he rushed away, giggling loudly.

"Hi Blue," Lust said, putting his hand over the phone to mute the call he was on, "You can out that in the Conference room, that's where we have all of the food set up at."

"Yay!" Blue said happily, walking to the Conference room.

There were tables set up against the wall with leaf table cloths on them, different kinds of food set up. Dust and Alphys were making a plate of tree decorated cookies look nice, while Sci was setting up multiple gallons of apple cider.

"Hi Blue," Sci said, noticing him first, "Ink's pretty excited about today, I don't think the apple cider is going to last throughout the party."

"It never does," Blue giggled, setting down his tray and removing the tinfoil, "Hey, Honey lied!"

"A-About what?" Alphys asked, looking over at him.

"He said he made rice krispies, he made brownies!" Blue said, gesturing towards the tray, "He pulled another prank on me."

"Huh," Dust said, looking over his shoulder, "They still looked pretty good, so I wouldn't flip out about it."

"I'm not flipping out," Blue said, "I'm just confused."

"I'm s-sure he just wanted t-to prank you a l-little bit," Alphys shrugged, adjusting her glasses, "But that's all right."

Sans walked into the room, a plate covered by a sheet of paper balanced on his head.

"Ayea," Sans said, "Whacha got there?"

"Brownies," Dust said, "How is that not falling off of your head?"

"I have good balance," Sans said, walking over to them before setting it onto the table, "And I have brownies too."

"Oh no," Blue said, "The Magnificent Blue messed up!"

Then Sans removed the paper, and they all groaned at his pun.

There wasn't brownies on the paper plate, there was a bunch of brown E's on it. They were lazily cute out of a piece of paper and scribbled brown with a marker, obviously done moments before.

"I just thought of it a minute ago," Sans chuckled, "Aren't I so smart?"

"Nice one," Sci said, high fiving him.

"Why?" Blue groaned, covering his face.

"I-I love working h-here," Alphys giggled.

~~~~~~

"I love autumn!" Ink giggled, sketching onto his piece of paper in front of him, which was on Lust's large desk.

"I know, I think you have an obsession at this point," Lust said, smiling at him before whispering, "So, how's he doing?"

Obviously, Lust couldn't ask how P.J was doing out loud. Since Error could possibly hear if his hearing was good, even though he was across the room, so Lust decided to whisper.

"Not at work," Ink whispered, "I'll text you about him later."

"Ok," Lust said before the phone ringing, him answering it.

"Hey, Ink," Cross said from his desk, "When are we starting the party this year?"

"At 2," Ink said, "Cause we need to work beforehand. So, we do some work, then party time!"

Everyone in the Office cheered or hooted, rather excited to start their party. After all, a party meant no work for them, so they were pretty excited about that.

If only they knew how different the party was going to be then they expected.

Hehehehe

The party is going to get very unusual, hehehe.

But look at this funny animation I found:
