A Trio of Misfits | Bittybones story

Sick days

(this picture is too cute x3)

You woke up, either because of the noise from busy, morning street or the sunlight that snuck through your window just to slap you in the face- it didn't matter, all you could think about at the moment was just how utterly awful you felt.

The sun made your eyes sting with water and your head throb painfully. Your throat was sore and scratchy, and breathing through your nose was completely out of the question.

"uurggggg..."
You groaned as you tried to move, every muscle groaning right back at you, but that was probably because you feel asleep on the couch...?

That's right, you all had a movie night.

You felt something snuggling into your stomach and cautiously you peered down, your stiff neck making it a little more difficult then it needed to be-
Your heart skipped a beat.

Oh. My. Goodness

Currently kneading into your stomach like baby kittens were your little bitties. They must have huddled into you for warmth in the middle of the night because that's not where you remember them being when you fell asleep.

Blue was curled up into his brother, who instinctively drew an arm over his shoulders- a comforting arrangement you silently gushed over many a night- but what turned you into a mushy mess of feelings was how each of them also clung to your resting hand.

Using it almost as a blanket, the two half-hid within the warmth of your palm. Papyrus kept a light grip on your hand, similar to the protective hold he kept on his brother, ensuring you wouldn't leave them while they slept (not that you would ever willingly part from this little cuddle session). While one of your fingers seemed to be captured by a Blueberry, who clung to it in his sleep. He was cuddling you like a teddy bear, now and then nuzzling into your flesh, a perfectly content smile gracing his face.

Just for a second you forgot about how sick you felt, or the ache of you neck as you continued to stare adoringly down at the precious sight, because you just felt so overwhelmingly... honoured. You couldn't help but feel a little giddy whenever they would put their trust in you, completely at ease with your presence, but this.

You took a minute to appreciate this.

As they clung to you, just as fondly as they held each other, you couldn't help but feel accepted. Officially included within this secluded little family they had.

Maybe you already were? you weren't the best judge for these types of things, but right now the message was definitely clear, even for your obliviousness.

You knew it would still take time ofcourse, to become as close as they are, if you even ever could... but right now you just felt so loved.

And it was kinda nice.

Maybe your cold wasn't the only reason your eyes were watery this morning.

Sadly, you couldn't savour the moment any longer as you felt a hacking cough well up in your throat. You tried to stifle it, holding your mouth closed with your free hand- but it was no use.

Your poor bitties awakened with a jolt, falling unceremoniously off your stomach onto the plush surface of the lounge, as your whole body shook from your fierce coughing spiel.
