for nagginggargoyle! from the acts of intimacy meme – “reading a book together”!


Carefully,
as if afraid it’d decide to slam shut right in her face, Alphys
pushed open the door to the library – not the librarby,
it was worth noting. The
monsters
had made sure to get that right this
time.

She
breathed a sigh of relief when she poked her snout into the doorframe
and the entire library didn’t turn around and annihilate her in a
single shared stare of disdain. 

In fact, nobody seemed to notice her at all.

Even Undyne, who wasn’t
behind the front desk like usual but seated on a rickety wooden chair
in front of the entrance, hadn’t noticed her. She hadn’t as much as
glanced up from the over a dozen children, seating cross-legged or
many-legged or hanging from the ceiling or too tiny to see more than
the pillows they were seated on, all staring rapturously up (or down) at
her.

So
Alphys stood awkwardly in the doorway, refusing to even let the
chilly winter air outside move her forward. She just stood there and
quietly admired how Undyne looked with her bright red hair tied back
into a bun, even though she looked almost as silly wearing reading
glasses over her eyepatch. She didn’t even have vision problems,
outside of the obvious one.

But
eventually, Undyne’s eye, that surprisingly soft, gentle yellow eye,
turned up just long enough to meet hers. Undyne stopped whatever she
had been saying, her eye widening, and Alphys couldn’t keep herself
from swallowing back a breath as she stared back at her.

Alphys is the kind of person who needs time to really open up to someone. When she meets someone for the first time she starts to stutter, and talk about cartoons, because that’s the one thing she’s comfortable talking about. After a while, she calms down, though, and stops acting as shy and nervous, and when you really get her to open up, she’s a really fun and nice person.

Sans is the exact opposite. At first encounter, he’s already 100% chill, and acts really open and honest about himself, but then it’s like walking into a brick wall. And he sure as hell won’t let you through that wall unless your name is either Papyrus or Toriel.

As for Papyrus, you have to give him time to lay that “I’m the best”-attitude aside, and show you who he really is. Turns out who he really is, is actually the best, just not in the way he wants to.

Undyne loves and wants to protect every monster citizen in the Underground, so if you’re a monster it’s probably not gonna be that hard to befriend her. She’s brutally honest, though, which makes her sound kind of rude sometimes, and if she really likes you she’ll want to wrestle with you. But she’s nice and doesn’t really have anything to hide.

You’ll befriend Asgore in a whim as long as you let him make you tea. But really getting to know him for real takes a long time, perheps years. He only opens up to those closest to him, like those he conciders his family.
