Chapter Text
He's beautiful. He probably works a very important job from that white lab coat he wears nearly everyday. He's tall, taller then any humans you've seen. You visit the library more since seeing him. Less to read and more to watch him through the window.
He goes to that cafe across the street early in the morning. Ordering a large something. He always wears a gentle smile when talking to the servers. Sometimes they say something and he laughs. You would give anything to hear it but for now you have to settle for watching that way his shoulders shakes and his eye sockets close.
Did you mention this man is a monster? A skeleton at that. God, you feel like a sinner.
He sits at his normal table by the window, giving you a perfect view of him. He drinks from his cup. His hands making the large drink seem small. He looks over papers, you wish you could see what was on them. You wish a lot of things about this man.
When he runs out of drink he starts to clean up his papers and leave. You remind yourself how much of a stalker you are.
Today you feel brave. You wake up even earlier and go into the cafe. God knows you'll never talk to him but maybe he'll like this. You walk up the the woman at the front counter.
"Hello! What can I get for you?" She smiles. Ready to take your order.
"Uh. Yeah, I was actually... There's this monster, that normally comes in later-" She holds up her hand to stop you. Her smile is gone.
"Let me stop you right there. No one here will help you with any monster hate activities now leave before we call the police."
You're shocked for a second. Quickly you snap out of it, of course you seem suspicious. "No, I don't hate monsters, I uh..." You feel your face heating up. "I-I wanted to pay for his order today."
The woman behind the counters frown turns into a grin. "Ooohhh. Of course, sweetie. Can you tell me which monster it is?"
You're so embarrassed but it's too late to turn back now. "He's a uh. Really tall skeleton, comes in a white lab coat thing."
"Oh! Yeah, that scientist guy...Gaster I think? Something like that, yeah, he gets a large coffee, black."
Gaster, what a beautiful name. You nod and pull out your wallet pay the lady.
"Want me to tell him anything for you, sweetie?"
You shake your head. Muttering out a thank you to her and retreat out of the cafe into the library to wait for him. Your nerves buzzing with excitement. You can't believe you did that. What if he finds that creepy? You really hope not. What if he thinks it's just one of his friends? Does he have friends? He should, he's beautiful. Who wouldn't want to be around him.
He probably already has a partner, you don't mind. You can live with just being his friend. Just knowing him.
You really are a freak, aren't you?
There he is. You practically jump to the window to watch. A young man is about to take his order, oh no. What if he doesn't know? Luckily the woman you talked to shoes him off and gives Gaster his coffee.
He's surprised. She talks to him for a second. Probably telling him someone payed for him. He says something. What is he saying? He smiles that kind smile of his. You feel your heart melting. He likes it. He goes to his normal seat, still smiling. He looks around but doesn't notice you. He's so pretty.
You'll have to do this again.
You go home that night and flop on your bed. Gaster, a scientist. How perfect. He's probably so smart.
Curling into your heavy blankets, you hug your pillow tightly. Squealing like a teenage girl over her crush.
Gosh, you can't believe a skeleton could be so beautiful.
Next morning you go into the cafe again. You had to explain the situation again to someone, lucky this one had actually heard about what happened from the woman yesterday. They let you pay and run again. You watch from the library again. The librarian, Alice. Raises her eyebrow at you before shaking her head and returning to her book. You watch the street for Gaster. He doesn't show up at his usual time. Is he not coming today?
Just as you give up your hopes you see him rushing into the cafe. His clothes are messy and he looks rushed. You watch the interaction. The person gives his coffee and refuses his pay. Gaster looks confused but accepts it before rushing out the door. Not sitting or resting. You're a little disappointed but you guess was late?
"Why don't you talk to him?"
You jump out of your seat. Looking at Alice you put your hand over your chest to calm your heart. You grunt and lay your head on the desk.
She sits across from you. "Come on, I can say something for you if your scared. Maybe get his number." She smiles.
"Ugh, no. I have to do it myself. I-I can make a plan. Maybe. Okay. I can do it." You sit up. Yes, you'll do this. You dash out the library.
"Don't do anything too weird." Alice says after you leave.
