LOVE (Grillby x OC!Reader)

It looks like you've seen a Ghost

Grillby shows you how to mix all sorts of drinks together. He watches you as you concentrate, trying to mix them all like he did. He laughs when some of your magic backfires, causing your face to be covered in different colors of alcohol, though it doesn't burn. Confused you look towards him, "It's magic based, so it won't burn you. You're magic doesn't burn you right?" Oh. "That's really neat actually." He proceeds to show you all sorts of different things you needed to know, and soon enough it was time to open. It was slow at first, but now it's the rush hour. You notice that more humans have been stopping by and coming in than usual, which made you happy that they are now starting to accept your kind and had come over from the other kingdom. They watch as you take orders and are able to get food out to them quickly and efficiently, you've even managed to score a few tips. Your flames move around happily as you smile and take more orders from customers. Some people smiled and told you that you've been doing a good job. Some of them even liked the drinks you made, which made you beam with pride. You haven't seen much of Grillby, but it's probably due to the fact that there were so many orders. As you walk back to the kitchen with your orders in hand, you were stopped when someone gave you a pat on the rear. You flush, but keep your composure as you turn around. Your eyes widened, "No...no no no!" Your mind screams. Even though you smile, your're internally panicking. It's one of the men from your nightmare. You fight back the urge to run, as you smile at him. "Hello sir, what can I get you today?" He reeks of alcohol, and he gives you a smirk. "For a monster, your pretty hot hehe." You look at him "Good one sir. But is there anything I can get you?" He grins as he stares at you. "Oh I can think of a few things, how bout you come back to my place?" You frown, there are other patrons watching the scene, it's dead silent now. "I'm sorry sir, but I'm gonna have to refuse you're offer. Now if you don't excuse me, I have to take these to the kitchen." Your flames are turning dark purple, but you try to keep calm. You push past him on your way to the kitchen, but are pulled backwards. The orders in your hand fall to the ground as your pulled, and  you stare at his angered face.  "You're not leaving here, Monster. " He gives you a hungry stare "Not until I get my service that is~." Your struggling at this point as he tries to pull you towards the door. No one is getting up to help you, Sans isn't here because he's hanging out with Aela today, and you don't think Grillby could hear you from the kitchen. "Sir let me go! You're hurting me! I am NOT going with you!" You yell as you continue to struggle in his grasp. He stops and turns around, he's staring angrily at you. "How dare you defy me!" He puts his face right near yours, "You are coming with me whether you like it or not!" You get your other hand and fight him to the best of your ability. You don't care if you're making a scene, you don't care about what you look like, if no-one will get up to help then you will take matters into your own hands. The man didn't like you're response, as he gets his other hand and acts if he's about to slap you. He brings his hand down , and you flinch. His hand stops right near the side of your head as you hear a voice.

"Excuse me, but I would refrain from doing that if I were you."

You open your eyes and look towards the voice. It's Grillby, and he isn't happy. He's almost dark red, his dark orange face watches the scene before him. The one he cares about being literally being forced against her will by some drunken man. And to top it off, he walks in right before he lands a blow on you. "Oh yeah? Who are you?" The man shouts. "I'm the owner of this establishment, and I don't like my employees being mistreated as such. Now. Let the woman go and leave." The man doesn't let go of you and you look to Grillby, eyes pleading for help. His look into your own, and his tell you that he's got it covered. "I'm taking this woman with me, I haven't got my service yet!" He yells. "And nor will she give you any. You are going to leave this instant, or am I going to have to call the guard?" The man frowns and looks angrily towards Grillby. "All of you monsters are the same, you always think you can do as you like. Humans should be the only ones who have rights here, your kind are not welcome!" "Then why did you come to my establishment then?"Grillby asks, which made the man pause for a moment. "I wanted to see how much our kind has mingled with yours, and I have to say what I see is revolting! I'm going to tell others about this, and I'm positive that they'll agree with me!" You hear other patrons gasp at his words, and you look around you for some kind of escape plan. Luckily, your closer to the bar than you were at the man's table and you come up with a plan. "Let her go now, and leave." Grillby's voice lowers, and you can tell that he's getting angrier by the second, and is having trouble keeping his composure. You know that your wrist is starting to bruise, and the man's grip isn't helping matters. However, it looks like its about to take a turn for the worse as the man doesn't let go. "Oh yeah? And what are you gonna do to stop me? If I have to make an example outta her I will don't you worry! Or..." He pauses, and your heart drops. Example? It clicks, and you struggle out of his grasp even more. Maybe I should make an example outta YOU!" He reaches into his pocket, and pulls out what looks like a pistol. Everyone screams and ducks for cover, and you take the chance, "Not this time. Not this time." Your keep telling yourself, and you grab a glass from the counter top. With all of your strength you swing the glass at the man's skull. It makes contact and the man screams as glass gets embedded into his face. "You wench!" He swings the gun at you and you scream in pain as it hits your head. Your knocked to the ground, breath being taken out of you from the impact. "MARIANNE!" You hear Grillby yell and suddenly you hear a whoosh of something fly past your head and then hear the man scream. You hear footsteps running out the door, but you can't open your eye as you feel pain blossoming in your left temple from the blow. "Marianne!? Marianne!" Your one good eye looks at Grillby's concerned face. "Why would you do that?!" You smile lazily at him. "I couldn't see you get hurt again." His face turned confused, and then he realized what you meant. "That man..that man was someone from that dream?" You nod and chuckle, even though it doesn't help the pain from your head. "Yes, silly right?" "Now's not the time for jokes Marianne! Don't worry, I've sent some of the patrons who wanted to help to go get the guard. They'll be here shortly ok?" He touches your head and you wince, "Sorry my dear, he must have hit you hard. And your wrist.... When I find him.." You stop him as you put a hand on his cheek."Don't worry. It'll take a lot more than few bruises and scratches to kill me." He chuckles "My tough little flame." You smile at him, you chuckle but you wince as the pain continued, which was worrying. "Grillby? " "Yes?" You look at him. "The..the pain is getting worse." He looked concerned. "Where?" "Every...where." Pain continues to flow through your body, "How could one hit be this painful?" Your mind thinks. "I'm going to call Sans and Aela ok? Don't worry I'll come right back." He says, you nod and see him run towards the wall phone and you don't hear the conversation, but he looks panicked. "What is..going on?" Your thoughts are swimming, and it's heard to concentrate. . He comes back to you, and helps you sit up. You don't want to stand, and you try to rest your head back onto the wall. "They are on their way don't worry." Sure enough, you hear the clanking of metal as the guard enters. However, the pain gets stronger as it courses throughout your skull. However, you don't look up to see them as the pain grows ever stronger. Grillby looks at you and you give him a quick kiss and a smile, but the pain was to much. You smile at him one last time, then darkness takes over your vision.
