Gaster x Reader- Not Your Fault

Not Your Fault Pt 4

You laughed as the shape formed, slightly impressed with your attempt. As you plated the pancakes and sat the dish on the table which you had set with cutlery, plates and juice of some type you had found in the fridge you heard the patter of small skeletal feet hitting the stairs.

Sans and Papyrus appeared in the kitchen, both looking inquisitive as to what the smell was. You smiled at the two of them, "Good Morning."

"Good Morning~" Papyrus greeted as he climbed onto a chair and looked wide eyed at the monster shaped pancakes.

Sans seemed hesitant but followed his younger brother's actions and was (pleasantly?) surprised by what he saw. As if on que a much taller skeleton appeared, now dressed in a periwinkle purple turtleneck and dark grey slacks and matching jacket. He ruffled Sans's head as he entered the kitchen and also took a seat at the table. He appeared to have regained his composure after showering.

"You weren't required to make us breakfast... but a thank you is in order nonetheless," Gaster said.

You smiled and accepted his thanks. You served out the pancakes, making sure to give the last one to Gaster.

Holding back laughter you watched Gaster's face turn a dark plum colour, "W-what is this?"

"It's a pancake," You smiled sweetly.

Gaster swallowed, evidently uncomfortable, "Yes, I can see that. I meant why is it shaped... like me?"

"You don't like it?" You asked, as much innocence in your voice as you could muster.

God damn it, he's sooo cute when he's flustered~

Gaster shuffled awkwardly, his face turning darker, "N-no, I was just surprised as we do not own a monster shape cutter like this." He was trying to cover up his embarrassment.

"I know. I made it... I thought it looked cute," You told him, trying to hold back the blush of embarrassment that came with those words. Fortunately you got the reaction you were hoping for.

Gaster's face was now the colour of a plum and he seemed so bewildered that he couldn't speak. Instead he quietly took a bite of the pancake.

You took a bite of your own pancake, in an attempt to hide the smile that was now stretching along your face.

The situation was made better when sweet innocent Papyrus leaned over and remarked on his daddy's pancake, "Is that you Daddy! Wow, its sooo cute looking~"

Gaster seemed to make a choking sound and reached for his glass of juice. He shot a look of annoyance in your direction which you returned with a sweet innocent smile.

Sans seemed to be watching silently, but he ate his meal seeming to enjoy it.

I wonder why he's so distant?

After breakfast you gathered up the plates, "Sans, would you help me out with the dishes?"

Sans met your eyes and seemed to understand the message 'I want to talk'.

"Sure," He answered.

"I would offer to assist however I must gather my notes so I can return to the lab shortly." Gaster stood and held out a hand to Papyrus, "But first I think this one needs a bath."

He sighed as the sticky maple covered Papyrus took his hand, "You do realise that condiments are supposed to go on the food." Gaster led Papyrus upstairs towards the bathroom, leaving you and Sans alone.

"So...," The small skeleton turned to face you. "What do you want to talk about."

You sighed and leaned back into the chair, "I want to make a promise to you."
