LOVE (Grillby x OC!Reader)

Safe

You both run in a panic, people you pass by watch smoke plume into the air. You and Aela continue to run and run towards the only place you felt safe. Tumbling to the floor as you run inside, everyone stares at the scared look on both your faces. "Sweetheart are you alright?" Sans asks Aela, helping her up from the floor. Grillby can tell you are also distraught, as you are dimmer, and darker than usual. "Darling what is going on? Are you two alright?" You can't find the words to speak, you're so upset. "No we're not. We had gone out together for the day, but then as we walked to her house..." "It burned down." You say. Grillby, Sans and all the patrons of the bar turned to you in shock. "What?" Grillby asks. "They burned it down to the ground...everything's gone." You say. Grillby flares up "Who did that to you?" You don't say anything, except you pull out the folded, slightly burnt parchment and hand it to him. He takes it and reads it, scanning over the words written on it. "Marianne, you are to stay here with me, or Sans and Aela. I will notify the guard and we will be taking this to the king immediately." "What's it say Grillbz?" Sans asked. Grillby hands over the letter to him, and as Sans reads it, his eye glows a bright brilliant blue. "They will pay for this. Come on Marianne, Aela, we're going to Asgore right now!" He grabs Aela's hand, Grillby takes yours then used his other hand to grab Sans's. "Everyone be on your guard, these people attacked Marianne's home, and it could have been even worse. With this information, they will attack again at some point. Be on your guard, and warn others. Be safe everyone." With that, Sans blinks away.

Suddenly, your falling to the ground and Grillby catches you. "Easy there darling." He says with a chuckle. "Yeah, sorry about that. I forgot your still not really used to my power Marianne." You wave it off with a smile, "It's fine. Where are we?" You look around at the strange surroundings, your in a castle..AMAZING! You brighten with joy. "I take it you already know where you are Marianne?" You nod. "I can't wait to meet the king in person!" "Well you already met the queen and you both hit it off well." Aela says. You freeze.."What." "You goat to be kidding me...you didn't know." You deadpan at Sans and then it clicked. "Toriel is the QUEEN?! Why didn't anyone tell me?!" They all shrug and smile at you. "Oh my god. COME ON! This is cool..and frustrating at the same time." You say. They all chuckle as they pass down the hall to the throne room. A giant goat man with a bright yellow ..mane? Mane. Watches the four of you walk in. "Ah it seems I have visitors. What can I do for you Sir Grillby and Sans?" He says kindly. This must be Asgore...wow. You bow and he gives a lighthearted chuckle. "No need for that my dear, Grillby you never told me you found a significant other." You and Grillby flush for a few minutes, earning some laughs and chuckles from the others. "I wasn't trying to embarrass you. I am glad you found someone Grillby." "Thank you, your majesty." "Now, tell me what is wrong." Grillby hands over the note. As Asgore reads it, his brows furrow and he frowns. "I see. This matter will be dealt with immediately. Do not worry my dear, you will not be harmed or be further made an "example". These "Forgotten Ones" will be dealt with, before this situation progresses further. I will be alerting the guard, as well as making a public announcement to the rest of the town. I have a feeling that no one is safe until this will be dealt with. Thank you all for telling me." You all bow, and he dismisses you all. As Grillby, Aela, Sans and you all walk down the hallway you get lost in your thoughts again. "Marianne, my dear don't fret." "How did you know I was worried...again." "You get this look on your face, and your flames turn darker." "O-Oh." You say. He smiles at you, and you feel somewhat better. "Would you like to stay with me tonight? Or Aela and Sans?" You turn towards the others and their grinning but looking anywhere else but you..whistling or pretending not to be listening to the conversation. You roll your eyes playfully and look back at Grillby. "I would love to stay at your place Grillby. Thank you." "Don't mention it my dear." He says. "Alright you two lovebirds, ya wanna go home? " Sans said, holding out his other hand. You nod and Grillby chuckles "You're one to talk about lovebirds Sans." "Ya got me there Grillbz. What can I say? Aela's my tweetheart." You and Grillby groan while Aela plants a kiss on Sans's cheek. "Awe I love you Sans." "Love you too.Now let's go home." You all leave the castle within the blink of an eye.

Sans and Aela dropped you off at Grillby's bar, it's ...night already? Luckily it seems everyone went home after that little incident and you help Grillby close up shop. "Go get comfortable my dear, you've had a rough day." "Thank you Grillby." You head upstairs, and you walk into his room. Looking down at your clothes and back to Grillby's closet, you can't help but smirk. "I'm sure he wouldn't mind if I borrowed some of his clothes to sleep in...haha." Walking over to his closet, you grab random shirt and changed. You also decided to change into a pair of ..sleep pants that you found in his dresser drawers. You would have kept your original pants on, but they wouldn't be very comfortable to sleep in. "I hope he won't mind." You say out loud. Walking towards the bed you sit down, processing everything that has happened today. Suddenly, you feel a sharp pain in your chest and it takes your breath away. "Ah!" You yelp. Looking down you feel the pain again. You don't want to but you think it's best anyway. You pull out your SOUL, there it is in all of its so called glory. A galaxy colored heart, ironic right? The purple and blue hues swirl within it's depths, as white specks float around like stars. Except, its dimmer than usual but the cracks and scars that cover it show, light shines within the cracks making the little cuts and scrapes glow. You tear up, noticing how dim it is. "Marianne I brought some supper for y- ...oh." You gasp as you try to hide your SOUL. Grillby walks into the room and sets the tray of food down. He doesn't say anything as he walks closer to you and looks into your eyes. "Marianne......may..May I look at it? Are you ok? It looks like your in pain..." His eyes show concern, and you blush. Instead of speaking, you look away from him as you pull your soul back out. The SOUL tries to brighten in Grillby's presence, but it dims again as pain hits you. "Marianne...it's ..it's beautiful." "No it's not. It's not beautiful! It's littered with cracks..and scars from what happened to me!" "Marianne." He says sternly. "Don't ever say that this isn't beautiful, sure there are scars and marks but this is your SOUL. It defines you, it IS you. And you are the most beautiful creature on this earth, and I will not have you saying that it isn't and you aren't as such, because that would be a lie." You try to say something but he cuts you off gently. "You don't have to tell me what has happened to you, if you ever tell me I want you too when you are comfortable. All I can say is that it is over, and you have all of your friends and I that will protect you till our last breath. Please don't worry, alright?" Your heart brightens greatly, and you can feel your Hope rising. "Thank you Grillby, I don't know what I'd do without you." He gives you a kiss and hug, and then smirks at you. "I love your clothing by the way." You flush as he chuckles. You look into his eyes as you give him a kiss again, and this time you gently pull off his glasses. He gasps at the sudden move, but stays frozen solid. "Wha..?" You chuckle at his response. "I've never seen your actual eyes you know, without the glasses I mean. I've only seen a glimpse of them before." You find yourself staring at bright, yellow eyes staring back at yours. He smiles "Well...now you have my dear." You smile and your heart skips a beat, as you find yourself getting lost in his eyes. "Could ...could you stay with me tonight Grillby?" He's shocked at your request, but he gives you a reassuring kiss. "Of course darling, I will stay with you for as long as you want me to." You both lay down and get covered up, as you snuggle up next to him. His scent makes you feel safe knowing that he's with you. Smiling you cuddle up to him, arms next to his chest. Your flames calmly move back and forth, timing with Grillby's, as your hearts beat together. It was like his SOUL was comforting your own. "Goodnight my dear, have pleasant dreams." "Goodnight, my handsome elemental." He chuckles, and kisses the top of your head. The scent of cinnamon and the warmth from his body lulled you to sleep, making you drift off into a peaceful slumber.
