Swap!Papyrus X Reader [REWRITE]

[READ THIS!! this chapter will be in Papyrus's POV! Just so y'all ain't confused! I feel like I need more of his input on this book, also it's gonna be a bit shorter than my usually chapter length]

PAPYRUS:

I'm ready to leave, but Sans has other ideas.

I've been in Y/ns house for five long minutes and I can't take it anymore. The two won't quit chatting and it's driving me crazy. Five minutes isn't long but when all I hear is Y/ns voice being all buddy-buddy with my brother after she screamed at me before, it was enough to make time slow down till one minute felt an hour.

I watched them both from behind and they were both so tired looking, but neither of them seemed to want to stop talking. Sans apparently needed to tell her his life story and y/n needed to listen to it all and ask a million questions. It was like she was using this as a distraction.

I eventually start to look around instead of looking at the cry-baby and sans. She really did have a nice house... how can she afford to live here by herself? Especially working at a library? Carol says she works like 3 time a week at most. This can't be right.

I started to wonder if she shared this place with her jack ass boyfriend, but that didn't make sense when I looked at all the pictures. It was all of her, and what looks like a family. Why doesn't she live with her family?

I kept thinking of a billion questions before I shook my head and came to realization.

Why should I care?

And with that I went back to sulking to myself about being stuck here. With basically no escape. I could just teleport home, but I don't trust sans to drive right now. He looks so tired and that would be dangerous. I need to think of an excuse to leave.

I look up and open my jaw to tell sans I was ready to leave, but it was quiet. He fell asleep on the couch. Of course he did.

My eyes travel over to y/n who was just sitting silently, watching the TV with the volume all the way down. She must not have wanted to wake sans...

I shake my head and walk to the couch, looking down at the two. Sans looked knocked out, he was a heavy sleeper and always has been. It's probably for the best anyway.

Y/n looked up at me, she stared for a moment before averting eye contact. Probably because of my face right now. I looked pretty annoyed to say the least, and she knew damn well why. She knew she was in the wrong, enough time has passed for her to think more about her actions and how messed up they were.

Suddenly she spoke up "uhm... you are welcome to stay the night if you want... sans looked so tired, I didn't wanna wake him..." she still stared down at the floor.

I paused at this. Why was she being so nice all of a sudden? She screamed at me at the bar, and now she's saying I can stay the night in her house?? Make up your damn mind woman.

I stare at her and roll my eyes "I see...you expect me to just act like nothing happened... is that right?" I take a deep breath and look away. Not wanting to get worked up over this. She wasn't worth my time.

".... No... no that's not it." She mumbles quietly but I heard her. How could I not? It was completely silent. "I Uhm... it's been a long day you know...? It's been a really, really long fucking day..." she laughs a bit, I think she was trying not to cry...?

Despite her clearly emotional state, it doesn't excuse how she acted before. I stay quiet, then let out a sigh. "Yeah. I get that..." she quickly shakes her head "but it's not an excuse- I swear-"

"Then what is it. Because I'm pretty sick of being here right now, and the quicker you spit it out the quicker I can leave." I wasn't in the mood for any bullshit excuses.

I see her look up at me, she looked upset about what I had just said. Why should I care. "Listen papyrus.... What I said at the bar was really fucked up of me-" she pauses and takes a breath, trying to calm herself down. "... I know you only wanted to help me... I realize that now.. I was just so caught up in the situation that I took it out on you. You didn't deserve that..."

Well, can't say I expected this apology. It seemed so.. sincere... like she really meant it...

"Kai- uh, my now ex-boyfriend... we have been together for so long that breaking up is such a scary thought. I don't wanna be alone, and I didn't care how badly he treats me. I just can't handle being by myself... and knowing that I lost both my boyfriend and best friend at the same time...? I couldn't take it. My brain just shut every logical thing out and All I could think about was how upset I was.. and how scared I am." She wipes her eyes a bit and her voice shook.

Now that I'm thinking about this... y/n doesn't seem to have any family. Yes she has pictures of some kind of family up in her house, but they looked old, like they were taken when she was a kid. Carol mentioned before how y/n only really hung out at the library and coffee shop... huh..

Great. Now I feel bad.

I suck in a breath through my teeth and sigh. "Thank you... for apologizing...." I pause "and... I'm sorry that happened to you... you clearly didn't deserve that. I'm sorry but that 'boyfriend' of yours is a real nutcase for doing what he did.." I shake my head " I know you're upset, but maybe this is good for you...I can feel it in my bones. It's a new beginning, you know? Maybe you can start working on yourself instead of worrying about that jackass..."

I didn't really mean to go on and on, but the words just kept spilling outta my jaw. She clearly needed someone right now... I decided to at least be a bit of help, despite my previous view of her. Don't get me wrong, I still don't fully forgive her, but she just looks so.. pathetic right now that I can't help myself.

She just stared up at me with tearful puffy eyes and quaking lips. She obviously didn't expect this from me, and honestly I didn't expect myself to say those things either.

"...t-thank you papyrus.... You really are sweet..." she sobs a bit into her hands. "God I feel terrible for yelling at you... you are so god damn nice and that's how I treated you..?! Fuck I'm a mess right now-" she stood up and didn't make eyecontact with me "If you two want to stay the night you are welcome...  the spare bedroom is down the hall to the left.... I need to go to bed. I can't handle myself right now." She bows her head a bit in apology and quickly speeds off to I'm assuming her bedroom.

Yikes, she was a mess, but I don't blame her. A breakup can feel like the end of the world, and she was clearly attached to him.

I look at my phone, it was kinda late... and I don't really wanna drive, plus I'm too tired to teleport both me and sans...

I scoop up my brother, and walk to the hallway. Sans was passed out and snoring. God what a heavy sleeper. I open the door with my magic and set sans on the bed. I look at him for a moment before turning away and walking out of the bedroom, closing the door.

I plan on snoozing on the couch. It looked pretty comfy from what I saw. I wanted to leave asap in the morning. I usually sleep in but I really don't wanna be here any longer than I had to. Despite her apology, I still am not entirely fond of y/n. Plus she's clearly going through some shit so it's probably best we don't bother her too much.

I rub my eye sockets and shake my head a bit. I should just go to sleep and stop thinking about it.

When I sat on the couch, I pulled the recliner out and put my hands behind my head, crossing my legs at my ankles. Very comfortable indeed.

I closed my eyes and let out a sigh through my teeth. I have no idea what I've gotten myself into, but right now, all I wanted was some sleep.
