{Couple things. First, I'm not sure how to categorize this one. No smut tho. Second, I updated the headcannons to include Lust, so you should go check that before this. Third, this is as close as a christmas special as you'll get, cause motivation is non-existent and procrastination is a bitch. Merry christmas or whatever you celebrate. And yes there will be a part 2 to this. Eventually}

    “Thanks Error.” “No proble-em Blue.”

    Blue looked out at the city as the portal closed behind him. He was in a certain version of Underlust. One where people knew him, but treated him as they should. 

    Blue was tired. Tired of being treated like a kid, tired of being ignored, definitely tired of dealing with Ink’s dumb-ass self. So he called up a couple friends and made his plan to have a fucking break.

    Sure he felt a bit guilty about making Dream deal with the gremlin, but maybe Error will have pity on them both and try to destroy an au to get the bastard to leave. Blue shook his head, starting off in the direction of the bar.

    He was pissed though! He’s spent years helping Dream and Ink deal with Nightmare and his crew, and what does he get? Nothing! Just about everyone treats him like he’s some precious child to be protected, and lord forbid he even think about cussing out loud. 

    Many people called out to him, some flirting and some just greeting as a friend. His visits have been often enough that most people basically count him as a resident of the universe. He didn’t mind. 

    Looking ahead, he realized that he had made it to the bar. The Grillby’s in this place was a bit different, and definitely more colorful, than it was in most places. Certainly more neon than Muffet’s in his own world. But it meant that he would probably fit in with his own bright colors.

    Blue nodded at the bouncer before heading inside. It was loud, it always was, but it was familiar enough that Blue felt himself relax a bit. He made his way over to the bar where Grillby himself was. There were a couple of empty seats at the end so Blue took one.

    “Well well well, it’s been a while,” the fire monster said. Blue just looked at him, not in the mood to deal with most people at the moment. Grillby took notice, heading off before coming back with a bottle, handing it to Blue. 

    “You look like you need it,” was all he said in response to Blue’s confused look. Blue shrugged, taking the bottle and opening it. Right as he was about to start chugging the damn thing, a voice behind him made him stop.

    “Heya sweetie,” Lust said, taking the seat next to Blue’s. Blue blinked, before turning back to his bottle of…vodka? Eh, not his favorite but it’ll do. He drank a good bit before Lust forced him to stop, basically yanking the bottle away.

    “Nice as it is to see how much you can swallow,” she said. “You know that won’t do you much good.” Blue just sighed, knowing Lust was right but not wanting to agree with the bastard.

    “So what happened mi amor? You sounded pretty mad over the phone.”

    Blue sighed again, really not wanting to relive the experience from earlier today. It wasn’t bad per say…Blue knew he had overreacted. He also knew that he could tell Lust he didn’t want to talk about it and the other would drop it. But…

    “We were making our usual rounds,” he started. Lust looked at him, listening to him in that way that few people ever do. As the memory from earlier washed over him, he leaned into Lust, who just silently put an arm around him.

    “I don’t remember exactly what happened. You know what happens when someone gets minorly inconvenienced and their only reaction is basically “fuck”? Yea, that happened. I think it was me and Dream that cursed. So naturally, a handful of people and Ink all started saying things like, oh you shouldn’t say that, you’re too young to use those words, maybe say it nicer next time. You know, the usual things you’d say to a child that said it.

    “I just lost it, started cussing up a storm. Maybe just to prove I could. Certainly had Dream laughing his ass off. Anyway, Ink had Dream portal us home, then started going off at me. Still with that child bullshit.

    “Once he was done, I asked Dream if he’d mind if I took a break, he said he didn’t, so I called you and Error and came over here as fast as I could.”

    Lust just stared at him for a moment, processing the whole thing. Blue took his bottle back and started drinking it again, albeit at a much slower pace than before. 

    “Damn. I’m sorry that happened Blue,” Lust said, turning so as to be able to hug Blue better. Blue just set his bottle down, now about halfway done, before hugging back. 

    The two stayed like that for a while, before Blue finally pushed the other back.

    “Helpful as you are when it comes to letting me vent, that isn’t the only reason I came here,” Blue said, looking at the violet-eyed skeleton. Lust simply smirked, taking Blue’s hand and the bottle still on the counter.

    “Better head back now so we can have more time then BB,” she said, standing and leading him out, telling Grillby to put it on his tab, as per usual.

    Blue smiled, happy to have a night where he could do what he wanted for once. It had been a long time since either of them had any ‘fun’ together.
