Ever since Papyrus opened his home open for Addy, it's been completely changed.

Before he knew that he had nieces and nephews, his house was always empty. Silent. A bit lonely, which was why he tended to not stay inside too much. But now, his house was constantly bustling with activity. Silky would always be working on chores or taking care of her siblings, she was extremely helpful and understanding.

Addy was actually opening up to Papyrus. She didn't talk to him yet, sure, but she now looked at him and often reached to hold his hand if her siblings were out of reach. It was adorable, she was a sweet child.

And Cole was like a mini Jeff and Sans crossover. He took care of Addy, and liked to be read to, but he liked stealing still and he often carried a knife on him. At least he seemed more open to Papyrus, since Papyrus made sure to pick him up nachos every night.

But maybe he should have warned Frisk to not come over.

She was in her early 20s now, her hair had grown a bit longer since the underground and she stopped wearing striped sweaters recently. She was in college still, but she still stopped by for visits when she could.

Everyone had been over when she visited, Toriel quick to hug her. Frisk didn't know about the situation, none of them wanted to distract her from her studies. It wasn't like they could have kept it from her forever, because she was the one who had almost died by a CreepyPasta.

"Hello Frisk!" Papyrus said, approaching her to give her a hug. "It's so good to see you again!"

"It's good to be over, the drive was worth it!" Frisk laughed, hugging him back. "But you guys told me over the phone that something happened that had to do with Sans?"

"Uh, yes, it's complicated though," Toriel said.

"Do you guys have a guest?" Silky called from the laundry room.

"Who was that?" Frisk asked, looking at the laundry room door.

"We have a couple of people over, and they happen to be... Sans' children," Toriel explained to her child, "Something happened to Sans and their parents, so they're staying with Papyrus until we can find the rest of their family."

Frisk blinked. "Wow, I was not expecting that... you said they, how many kids did he have? Did you guys talk to Sans?"

"I can explain so you don't have to," Silky said, stepping out of the laundry room into the hallway while straightening out her clothing. "You see, my Dad, Sans, went out to the store with one of my brothers and never returned. A few days later, we were attacked at our house by some creatures I believe to be demons. As a result, our family scattered, but a few of us managed to find Papyrus and decided to stay here until we could get a firm grip on the situation and be able to reunite with our families."

Silky then approached Frisk and stuck out a hand to shake hers. "I'm Silky, one of his nine children. Sans is polyamorous, so he has many relationships to not confuse you. As of right now, both Sans and my brother remain missing, so Papyrus has yet to make contact with him, nor have we. Most of our CreepyPasta family is scattered right now, so far only a few of us have managed to regroup. Also, your hair is uneven. The left side is longer than the right."

"Oh, uh, nice to meet you," Frisk said, shaking back awkwardly. "And thanks?"

"I don't like uneven things," Silky said, "But I do believe you have been informed of our family, yes? CreepyPasta? You were the one who survived Laughing Jack, no?"

"Yeah, the clown?" Frisk asked, "Did they tell you."

"No, but I'd recommend that you make sure to stay away from carnivals and clowns," Silky said, "He was not very pleased with a survivor, and he's made several death threats towards you. No one has ever survived his poison before and it frustrated him. So this is a warning, you may want to tread lightly, because he will try again the moment he sees you."

Frisk's face flushed white. "Hah... nice..."

"Don't worry, he's not here right now," Silky said, "I haven't seen him yet, but it's a warning for in case we do find him. You're fine, though. He isn't here, you're safe from him."

"Okay," Frisk said.

"I think you might have scared her a little," Toriel said.

"Oh, sorry, I'm not good when telling emotions, it was just a pre warning in case anything happens," Silky said, resting her long arms by her side. "But it is okay to meet you. I could prepare a drink if you'd like."

"There's no need, she's my guest, as you are," Papyrus told Silky.

"Okay then, thank you for coming over," Silky said, "I have to go finish the laundry."

As Silky walked away, Frisk turned to Toriel. "She reminds me a bit of you, she's very polite."

"She is," Papyrus said, "There's two more of his kids, then there's Jeff from the mall. The CreepyPasta that Undyne and I had saw before."

"Oh, that Jeff," Frisk said, "I really didn't think we'd honestly see any of them."

"Neither did we," Toriel said.

The two led Frisk to the living room, Alphys and Undyne quick to wave and say hi to her. Addy had been sitting between the two, playing on a game on Undyne's phone. Cole had been talking to Jeff, the two stopping to look up at Frisk.

"Oh, it's the kid," Jeff said, "I remember you from the carnival. You still look like a b*tch."

"I can see it," Cole said.

"That's Jeff, and that's Cole," Papyrus said, "And the little girl is Addy."

"Hi guys!" Frisk said, "I'm Frisk."

"Yeah, I don't really care," Cole said, looking back at the T.V.

"Cole is rather... judgemental, and Addy is mute," Toriel explained to Frisk, "Silky is really the only one we can all talk to without insults or silence."

Addy was staring at Frisk for a moment before she was pulling at Undyne's hand, Undyne leaning down to let Addy whisper into her ear. After a few moments, her eyes widened as she stared at Frisk.

"Frisk..." Undyne said slowly, "Did you... have you ever..."

"What?" Frisk asked.

"I... ugh, crap, are you sure?" Undyne looked over at Addy.

The skeleton nodded. Undyne sighed, standing up.

"Screw it, I'm just going to say it," Undyne said, "Addy says you killed someone before. Is that true?"

Frisk froze, their face falling from a smile. Instead of answering Undyne, they looked over at Addy.

"Did Sans tell you?" She asked, "That was a long time ago, I-I... "

"Frisk didn't have a choice, this was before she even fell underground," Toriel said.

"Wait, what do you mean?" Papyrus demanded.

"Oooohhhh snap," Cole chuckled.

Frisk crossed her arms, biting her lips. "It was before I went underground, why do you guys think I've always liked monsters more than humans?"

"This just got so much better," Jeff laughed, leaning forward.

"Hold on, you knew?" Undyne asked Toriel.

"Frisk said never to say anything, it was a form of self defense anyway," Toriel said, "An accident, even."

"I can understand not telling us some stuff, but that?" Papyrus asked Frisk, "You know we wouldn't have judged you! Why didn't you tell us? Do you not trust us?"

"I just don't like talking about it, okay?" Frisk snapped.

"Nah nah, let's talk about this," Cole said, waving his hand before he rested his chin on his fist. "I f*cking love killing stories. What type of weapon? How much blood was there?"

"It was nothing big!" Frisk said, "It was a long time ago, I can barely even remember it. I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys."

"The whole reason Sans left us was because of this!" Papyrus said, "Because we didn't communicate with him!"

"No, it's because you were so obsessed with the 'Great Papyrus'!" Frisk yelled, jabbing a finger at him. "It wasn't just communication, it was you always putting yourself first. Can we please just drop this?"

"Yeah, I know!" Papyrus snapped, "I know it was me that really screwed things over, but I fixed it! Haven't you noticed at all? I haven't called myself great, I don't put myself above others! I've even stopped talking in a loud voice!"

The loud voice. Before, Papyrus had used it to put more attention on himself. To gain the eyes of the room, to focus everyone on him. It became such a habit, Papyrus used a loud voice to show how great he was. After awhile, though, it had become how he spoke naturally.

But he didn't do that anymore. Not since Addy came into his life. He didn't try to showcase himself out, he was focusing on other people. On taking care of others, listening to them and making sure that Papyrus was putting them first. Even though Papyrus wanted to join the Royal Guard before, he didn't want to save people, he just wanted the fame that came with it.

However, now was different. Papyrus didn't want any fancy titles, he didn't want attention. He just wanted to make his family happy, and help those around him.

Papyrus was now blinking back tears. To think that Frisk had kept this from them, that she didn't trust them enough to tell them?

"I don't understand why you guys are blaming me for killing someone," Frisk mumbled.

"We aren't," Undyne said, "We aren't blaming you for anything! We're just asking why you haven't told us."

"We would never blame you for killing someone, you're our family," Papyrus said, "You don't have to talk about it if you don't want to, but how come you told Toriel, and not us?"

"I'm not sure, it just happened," Frisk said, "We had a talk about it and that was it. I was going to tell you guys, but... I dunno, I just forgot."

She forgot. She forgot to tell them something important. Like how she killed someone.

Or about a marriage.

Was this how it felt like to be on the receiving end? To know that someone he trusted wouldn't tell him an important detail of their life? No, Sans probably had it worse. And this had happened a long time ago, before Papyrus had even met her. Did he even have the right to demand to know?

The conversation just seemed to end there. Undyne sat back down next to Addy in defeat, Alphys reaching over to comfort her. Toriel sighed, Cole and Jeff giggling to themselves over the situation. Papyrus felt like he was going to cry, again.

Suddenly, he could feel something poking at his side. Looking down revealed Addy standing there, having gotten up from the couch and walked over. The girl didn't say anything, instead opening her arms to give him an awkward side hug around his legs due to her short height.

Papyrus leaned down and returned the hug, holding the back of her skull. It felt like forever since he had been hugged.

It was nice. Really, really nice.
