Sun learns a new trick and is very happy

——-

UnderVerse

Sun was much more upbeat after his chat with Fresh, feeling he understood himself much better. He had always wondered why he felt deep discomfort when others tried to control him, just attributing it to his 'upbringing'.

It now made sense why he had started to despise Angel even more after stalker creepily changed his Code. The 'child lock' was annoying and came with added instincts, but knowing why he felt like this was so relieving.

Of course not all of his tendencies could be attributed to his weird Code, not like he would ever tell stalker that. It was also the perfect excuse for whatever he did. He was going to have so much fun with this!

He was currently out exploring by himself, enjoying the freedom that Fresh was more then happy to give him. He was looking at a rather shiny item on a stall, very tempted to obtain it when he froze at hearing a very unwelcome voice.

"The Code says he is near..far too many monsters here. Where has he gone?"

How?! How was stalker finding him so easily?! He bolted from the stall and went towards an alleyway to open a portal. He knew he was running out of time when he sensed stalker coming closer, so looking around he decided to hide behind some crates, cursing his erratic magic. He thought it was sorted, so why was it failing him now?!

"Sun. I know you are here. Just come out so we can go home"

He silently scoffed at the thought, trying to make himself as small as possible. He shivered when he heard footsteps get closer, closing his sockets he felt resignation to what was about to occur.

He really wished to stay hidden....He heard the crates being moved, preparing for stalker to grab him so was rather surprised when nothing happened.

"...tch. Just a cat. How did they do this? Stupid Code getting confused"

He was astonished when they left him there, disappearing in a portal. He stared for far too long where they had been and jumped when Fresh was suddenly crouching in front of him..did they get bigger?

"Well look at this. Congrats, baby parasite. You managed your first shift"

Sun tried to ask for some clarification but all that came out was a small chirp-like sound, terribly confusing him further.

"I had a look around and it seems Nightmare can shape shift. Considering you have a similar goopy state I thought it was possible and with how i make my vessel change to suit my needs, it was likely you had a similar skill. Good job, brah!"

Sun finally looked down at his body, puffing up in surprise at his furry golden body. His new tail swished with his emotions but when Fresh poked him he suddenly switched to his normal form.

"Looks like you will need practice, little dude"

Sun looked at his skeleton hands in disappointment before a thought popped up. Why hadn't that other Nightmare ever taught him this? He bet it was stalker 's fault but now he was free to do what he wished.

This was even better than his corrupted form!

-

It had taken time but Sun was pleased he could now manage to stay in his new form for as long as he wanted. It also had the added bonus of somehow hiding him from stalker, which was perfect.

He had studied his form extensively and while he did not look like a normal cat, he didn't care. He liked his bright golden fur and yellow and orange eyes, it was bold and he thought it was rather cute. He knew how to make himself more boring but this was his preferred version, his true self if he was being honest. It felt right and he now understood why Fresh seemed so particular with how they looked.

He mrped as he was suddenly picked up by Fresh, pleased he was put around their shoulders, like a rather shiny scarf. It was a wonderful perch and they both found it amusing how confused this made any monsters who saw them, considering Fresh was known to scare animals.

There was the current downside of not being understood by other monsters but at least Fresh knew what he was saying. They did say he would get the hang of the transformation later but he was happy to masquerade as a cat for now.

-

Fresh chuckled as he 'Fresh Poofed' into the Doodle Sphere, confused why others found it so difficult to find it. He came here all the time and now it was time for the baby parasite to spread their wings, so to speak. He put them on the ground, still in their cat form before waving goodbye.

"See ya, Sun. Maybe will meet again one day, little dude"

Sun huffed as Fresh left but he wasn't disappointed. They had always said this was a temporary arrangement, which was rather odd to be stated so bluntly. Parasites really did seem like the best beings to deal with. So little fuss in letting him do what he wanted.

Stretching out his body he looked around, the area not looking that much different from past Doodle Spheres he had visited before. He took his time to explore, knowing it would be faster as a skeleton but he was in no rush and his cat instincts were amusing.

Like now. He saw an empty glass vial on the ground and the sudden urge to tap it was great, so he did so. He lost interest far too soon but then he spotted the hanging 'papers'. Now they looked perfect to bat with his paws and he really wanted to jump at them.

He stared at the closet one and crouched down, readying himself. As he lept in the air he was intercepted by bone hands, making him yowl in displeasure.

"Huh. How did you get here little guy?"

His ears lay flat on his skull as he was held in Inks arms, growling in displeasure. He thought that they were still with the weird XGaster guy still, why were they here?!

"..you look very soft"

'If you dare touch me further I will rip apart your-wait. Do that again. That feels nice~'

Sun purred at the hand that stroked his head, chirping before grabbing their hand with his paws, to move it to where he wanted it.

"Wow and so friendly! Dream said I'm terrible with animals but clearly he is wrong!"

'Don't think this means i like you!..yes that is the perfect spot'

"You even have Errors grumpy look. So cute!..very vocal though. Is that normal?"

Sun wanted to glare at the idiotic questions, growling as the pets stopped. Once they resumed he meowed louder in approval. This was definitely his favourite Ink.

"..I think animals need feeding regularly? I might have some food for you"

Sun didn't really care, as long as the pets continued. He passively realised they were now in Inks home, but was rather enjoying this new sensation. No wonder some cats enjoyed this so much.

He screeched as he was placed on the ground with a suspicious plate of 'food'. He sniffed at the brown shapeless substance on the plate before batting it away, not caring for it at all.

"You don't like it, kitty? It's cat food though...did i get the wrong thing?"

Sun bristled at being fed such slop. He might look like a cat but he had standards!

He glared in disdain when many more 'food' options were placed before him but meowed in curiosity when a cooked fish was given to him. He didn't really need to eat but his current form was being drawn towards the new option. Thankfully he had self control and looked suspiciously at Ink, who sighed and picked the plate up before starting to eat it.

"Might as well not waste it. Blue would be furious if he found out! Hmm, probably needs som-hey! What are you doing?!"

Sun had jumped onto Inks shoulder, now looking at the food in interest. Ink had eaten it and was fine so he was sure it was good enough. He pawed at the food and was pleased when Ink obediently brought it closer to him to eat.

"...at least you are eating"

Suns tail rose in smugness, pleased at getting his way. This food thing wasn't so bad after all.

-

Sun was thrilled how well his training of his new servant went and he even got a comfortable new accessory as well! It was a mini version of Inks scarf but it had a dangling charm of a paint vial on it. Proof of his first servant!

"Goldy! Time to go"

The name choice was rather dull but he counted it as a small concession for his new servant. He padded his way over to them, purring as he was lifted into their arms. No excessive walking for him. Such a good servant. He may even consider not clawing the couch later.

"I bet everyone is going to love you! Hold on tight"

He was pretty sure if he was a normal cat he would have freaked out at going through an ink puddle but he had sadly grown used to it, thanks to meeting so many Creators.

..Ink better not expect him to let everyone touch him though. He had standards!
