Sun finds a cool new 'monster' and is annoyed by how much work it is to train his new 'caretakers'

———

?? Multiverse

Lunar was stalking the tiny Guardian and was amused at the way they got into everything. No matter what everyone in the household did to hide things or ban the babybones from dangerous areas, the little one still managed to get in. It had been rather adorable, until they found the knives again.

The glint in their eyelights when they had held the knives caused a shiver to run down his spine and he only calmed down after Solar took it away.

At the time he could sense Solars resolve falter, at the pleading look he was given but thankfully their common sense took over. They did not need to add more chaos with an armed babybones.

He was impressed at how they sneakily avoided the others but was worried at how they flinched from sounds, making their magic spark. Just how young were they? Would they be expecting his variant to turn up soon?

There was some lightness that the babybones added to the house. No matter what the Creator did the other would simply ignore them or stare at them in disdain, until they left the room. He got a lot of sadistic amusement from that, making his tentacles twitch in glee.

It was weird how they liked the original Sans the best though. He could tell they merely tolerated all of Solars fussing and they avoided him outright but Sans was different.

They usually sat beside them on the couch when the other was 'napping'. As soon as Sans moved though the babybones ran off, like a spooked cat. He was bewildered why they did this but everyone else thought it was amusing, so let it be.

"Hey, Bro. What is up?"

He groaned at Fresh finally turning up. The other came and went as they pleased, with no one knowing where they actually went.

"Fresh, this isn't the best time to-"

"Is that a new, bro?"

Lunar was annoyed when they pushed past him to walk straight up to the babybones. His irritation only grew at seeing the babybones look enamoured with the Parasite.

"Heya, tiny dude. The name is Fresh. How is it hangin?"

"Whoa. You look awesome!"

How come Fresh was the one to get them to talk?!

Sun was loving this new being. The colours were dazzling but it was the glasses that were his main interest. He giggled each time the words changed on them.

When he was offered their hand to shake, he was surprised at how dull their emotions felt.

"What are you?"

He gripped their hand, twisting it around in interest, as if it would help to reveal all its secrets to him. He stared in suspicion as they crouched down in front of him and with their other hand, they removed their glasses. He was confused about what he was supposed to see but when a tiny purple tentacle poked out a socket, he lit up.

He slowly raised a hand and poked it, grinning at how soft it was. The emotions were much louder when he touched this, so perhaps this was their main body?

"You look pretty but i prefer your tiny body"

It was much cuter in his opinion and with all the clues gathered up, he assumed they were some type of animal, due to the strange instincts he could sense from them.

This was definitely his new favourite. The Guardians weren't as bad as he thought but we're still too rigid for his liking.

Solar was much easier to get things from but he wasn't sure if it was worth the effort of having to play nice. At times like this he missed his Ink..they were so much easier to train.

Sun pulled back when he was done and lifted his arms in a silent demand to be picked up, pleased when it was obeyed. He sighed at the calmer emotions that came off them and leaned into their neck.

Sans might feel nice when they were napping but this was so much nicer to be around.

Solar was way too emotional for his liking and often made a headache build up with all their fussing.

He stiffened when he saw Lunar, spotting the way that Freshs' glasses instantly went black. He could see them start to lower them and he poked them in the face in reprimand, as he could sense the hunger and violence coming off them.

He ignored the whining they gave and made sure they put their glasses back in the right position.

"No. Bad Fresh"

He leaned in closer, making sure to whisper his next bit.

"I didn't say you can never do it but there are too many witnesses"

He turned their skull towards Solar, who was looking very pale. Even Lunar looked like they were about to be sick.

What was up with them?

-

After that first meeting Sun was glued to Fresh. They had a large enough room to fit him and they barely slept, so it was perfect for his needs. No more irritating Guardians for him!

He did get shown a cool toy that Fresh apparently had hundreds of though.

"....What is it?

"This my little brah is a furby"

He tentatively touched the weird looking thing and grinned at how soft it was. It kind of looked like a cat that had merged with a bird....He liked it! It also had the benefit of keeping others away, even if he was clueless to why.

Others tended to get awfully unsettled when it started speaking but he only found it cute....of course one monster still decided to bother him.

"Hey little Dream!"

It was sadly the one time Fresh wasn't here, so he turned to the interloper and glared, hoping they would get the message.

"Wow! You look just like Solar when he is unhappy with me...so cute!"

...it seemed he met a rather stupid Creator. His luck just wasn't the best lately. Perhaps he could get something interesting from this though.

"So what have you created AU wise? Anything cool?"

Talking about creation with an Ink could be risky but he was bored enough to indulge in his curiosity. He was sure if it went on for too long that Fresh would pop up and manage to chase the other off.

"I'm so happy you want to know! Lets see, I created an AU-"

At the start he listened in interest but as the list of AU's went on his attention started to wane and he felt himself gaze into the distance in boredom. It really did seem most Creators were the same, hardly any originality at all.

"-then i have 6 with the theme o-"

"This has been... fascinating and all but i got to go"

Sun went for the door but his exit was blocked by Colour. Some people just couldn't take the hint.

"But but i have so much more to say!"

...it seemed the nice approach was a failure. Time to be more blunt.

"You are boring me Mr Copy. Until you have an original idea please leave me alone"

The silence was wonderful and he just made it out the door, before a screech of despair reached him.

"C-Copy?! I am not a copy!!"

"Whatever you say, Mr Copy~"

He wished all Creators were as easy to affect like this one. This would definitely make his life much easier now.

Every time he passed by Colour, seeing them about to pester him again, all he had to mouth was one word and boom, problem solved. It kept Colour away from him and he was even amused to spot tears gathering in their sockets, but then the Positivity twin just had to put an end to his fun.

He ignored the disapproving look from Solar and when they tried to lecture him he played the child card, that others were forcing upon him. He might as well reap all the benefits of his new position.

"I didn't know that would affect him so much! I thought it was a cute nickname...does he hate it?"

Add a little tear and wobbly eyelights and suddenly he was forgiven....he missed his magic so much. All this pretending to be 'innocent' was getting tiresome. He hoped he wasn't stuck in this place for long...

*Fresh about to eat Lunar*

Sun: No! Bad Fresh!

Lunar: Does the babybones actually care for me? 🥹

Sun: I do not want to be blamed for this! Not to mention the mess!

Lunar & Solar: *Sensing the full truth of that statement* 😨

Solar: Stop being mean to, Colour!

Sun: B-But i thought he l-liked it! It's just a game...😢

Solar: Dont cry! I'm sure he is just overreacting!

*Colour watching in disbelief, as Sun soon after turns to smirk at him*
