Roses on Roses

You had never seen Michelangelo this flustered, it really was a new sight and you were savoring it. “these ones look pretty” you were in a flower shop, helping your brother pick out the perfect flowers for the date he had tonight. “No she likes roses”, Mikey says “Oh so she’s a romantic~,” you say, you look around the shop for roses, “look over there, those are a nice cluster of roses” Mikey studied the colorful roses, they had more colors than he originally thought existed.

There were many colors. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, lavender, and white. All with their respective signs. “Huh, I didn't know that roses of different colors had different meanings.” Mikey looked interested in this new information, you knew that he would research the whole “Colors mean things” when he got home.

“Let's see, Red means love and passion, orange means Energy and excitement, Yellow means friendship and joy, Green means growth and peace, Blue means mystery and uniqueness, Lavender means wonder and enchantment, and White means young love and innocence.” he listened to you the whole way through your reading, looking interested

“Red,” he responded quickly and sure of himself, you knew he made sure they were the right ones in his head

He eventually chose the ones he wanted and bounded towards them, excitement filling his eyes, “oh thank you y/n! These are perfect,” he said with excitement radiating off him. “Anything to see my brother happy,” you say “but how many dates have you been on with her.”

He looked red in the face “fourth time.”

“Oh then you'll be fine, why are you so scared?”

“This one’s different”

“How”

“Well... I'm going to ask the question tonight.”

You were going to die of excitement “really!”

“Yeah if everything goes well”

You looked at your brother, passion in your eyes, hand on his shoulder “you. Got. this. If Donnie, the autistic, four fingers, introvert, can get a girlfriend all you gotta to do is be yourself and you will be fine.”

Your brother was filled with determination, and he jumped out of your gaze “yeah, you're right! I got this!!”

“Exactly you do got this”

“Now go and meet up with your date, we dont want you to be late.”

“Alright!”

You had been waiting for 10-5 minutes but it felt like hours, you did come early though, so it's not like he was late. You had been on 3 other dates with Micheal, He was really sweet and an artist, and you liked that. You were an author and you worked at a nearby library, most of the time you posted on a writing site, but you needed ideas, you often had writer's block and it seemed like he never ran out of ideas. You knew it had been 7 minutes but it felt like an eternity until you saw him walk into the bar, he looked…amazing.

“Hey! Over here!” you called him over to the small area of the bar you sat at.

“Hey, how have you been?”

“Good, I finished writing another 2 chapters for my book.”

After a short while Mikey just stopped talking and he was looking to the right of you. Did he someone he knew? You weren't sure so you decided to ask him what was wrong.

“Hey, Mikey?”

“Huh, yeah?”

“You seem distracted, do you see someone you know?”

“Well yeah, my sister is here.”

You walked into the bar with sans chatting about unimportant things yall hadn't hung out as friends for a while because of work and what not so this was a breath of fresh air for the both of you, you were about to ask the front desk for your seat, but in the corner of your eye, you saw Mikey. oh no.

 you opted on leaving the bar altogether what you were about to go through probably wasn't worth the little break you and sans had scheduled you could go to grillbys or something different. “Hey, sans we should go.” he was talking about his little brother, you loved to talk about papyrus, but now for you wasn't really the time “why,” sans said in understandable confusion. “No time to explain,” you said Mikey was looking right at you now, and you were tempted to just leave altogether and leave sans’ lazy ass behind, but you couldn't do that to a friend. Welllll-you guessed seeing him ask her to be his girlfriend could be cute... You would have blackmail.

Mikey was walking up to you now. You had to make a quick decision “play along” you told sans, which got you another confused glare.

“Who are you,” Mikey said totally ignoring your presence and being directed more toward sans. “Mind if I ask you the same thing” you face planted, both of them looked like they were ready to fight ‘wonderful’. “ this is my boyfriend,” you said trying desperately to clear up things, and if you said yall were just friends Mikey wouldn't have believed you anyway (toodles would be proud.) That got you two confused glares.

“Yeah sorry for not telling you… this is where we uh.” lying was not easy apparently “this is where we planned our date, do you want us to leave?” you looked at sans and his whole face spoke ‘your explaining this to me later,... and buying me a coffee’  Mikey wouldn't fall for this, would he? But you underestimate how stupid Mikey can be sometimes. His eyes lit up in surprise and excitement. “Yeah you can stay- I also have a date here! Uhm- ill leave you two alone-” Then he walked off

    “You didn't tell me about this! You don't have to leave, let's have a double date.”Mikey said.

…

You were having a double date with a man that was married. You were doing this.

           That's how you and sans ended up on a double date with Mikey and Graphien was her name. And honestly, it wasn't that bad, you and sans continued that chat about papyrus but Mikey and Graphien wanted in on the conversation and then the conversation circulated around the table talking about siblings' children and then roses. You forgot about the question! Watching this was going to be fun. then you remembered…Michal was going to ask the question tonight… you wondered when he was going to do it, it had to be now because the bar was about to close. You whispered something into san’s ear. “Okkkkaaay wee gatta goo to the bathrooommm, have fun,” you said in a very exaggerated way. When yall left you actually ducked behind the closest booth and got your phone out. “So, you're telling me, that your brother is going to ask a girl to be his-” you shushed sans, it was happening now.

“Hey, Graphein?” Mikey said, you and sans leaned in closer. “ w- will you be my girlfriend.” she looked at him with mild surprise but then “sure.” then they kinda just went back to what they were doing. “Well,” sans said. “That was anticlimactic,” you said and then yall walked back home gloomier than ever.
