You couldn't stay awake for the entire movie. You'd ended up falling asleep. When you'd woken up the next day you were in the flames arms and he was fast asleep. Initially you tensed and struggled, but he had a firm hold of you. How he was asleep you didn't know. You soon tired of struggling, finding yourself to be stuck here for good. Your ears twitched back as you looked to the sleeping fire elemental. He.. was adorable. His flames glowed dimly in his state of sleep and flickered occasionally. You reached over, slightly intranced and started to mess with his 'hair' a bit, watching the fire dance around your furry fingers. Stars his flames were so warm and comfortable. Your tail thumped lightly on the couch as you enjoyed yourself, relaxing as you continued on with your harmless shenanigans. "Enjoying yourself?" You yelped at Grillby's sudden comment and tried to push away, but he still held on firmly. "[Y/N], [Y/N] it's just me, relax."
"You scared the crap out of me Grillby!" You growled. "I'm sorry, I won't do it again. How about I make up for it with breakfast?" He shifted positions, kissed the top of your muzzle and making you blush, and removed his arms from you, finally getting up to go to the kitchen. You heard Sans snickering upstairs.

🔥🔥🔥

You wondered how long Grillby had been awake. "Grillby, I didn't wake you up, did I?" He shook his head, laughing softly. "No, no. I was awake long before you started playing with my flames. Embarrassing much. You ducked away. "I'm so sorry, I won't do it a-"
"Hush now, you were enjoying yourself. You can mess with my flames as much as you want. You're not in trouble." He promised. He spoke up again, his tone gentler and softer. "All I want now is to see you and the boys happy and safe. I'd give up everything for that.." Your brain short circuit circuited, but your body was already reacting. You walked over to Grillby, put your arms around his neck and kissed him, pouring your love, your happiness, your gratitude into this kiss. Your fluffy [Fur/C] and [S/Fur/C] tail wrapped around his legs. Grillby deepened the kiss. Finally you both had to pull apart for oxygen. "Wow.." You panted gently. Grillby's flames tipped pink. "Yes..." He agreed, "wow."

"grillby and mom sitting in a tree..." Sans looked to Papyrus and whispered something to him. Oh stars what'd he teach that child? "KAY IY ES ES IY EN GEE!" You looked at the pair while Grillby groaned. "Sans what've you done.."
"i taught pap how to spell." Sans replied, grinning. You and Grillby both groaned this time. You propped your muzzle on Grillby's shoulder. "Help me Grillby before he starts repeating it!"
"what? no! don't ruin my work of brotherly art!"
"KAY-"
"U" Grillby said. "YOO!" Papyrus replied. "T"
"TEE!"
"I"
"IY!"
"E."
"E!"
"Now spell that you cutie." Grillby gestured to Papyrus. "KAY YOO TEE-"
"That's good, bud." Grillby stopped him. "KAY YOO TEE! KAY YOO TEE!" Papyrus parroted. "awe. that's kuter than what i taught him.."
"That's absolute, pureness." You gushed. "Thanks Grillbs." You hugged him from behind before pulling away just as swiftly. At least you were trying.

🔥🔥🔥

You were back at the bar again. You were considering taking Grillby's offer to move in with him. You were truly starting to feel safe around him, relaxing quicker, the boys loved him, the scientist wouldn't find you there. It was looking like your best and safest option. Not to mention he WAS your boyfriend. Papyrus, you noticed was coloring while Sans napped. "What are you making? He pointed to a [Fur/C] and [S/Fur/C] stick figure with ears and a tail, an orange stick figure with a head of what you thought where flames, and two much smaller stick figures. "YOU MAMA AND DADDY AND ME AND SANS." You stared at the adorably drawn picture. There was a word for something like this. A word that neither of the boys knew, but both felt. It was one word that described Papyrus picture perfectly. Family.
