Staring Contest - Tumblr Posts
Two minutes in, Brad and Chris couldn’t remember who was who. Luckily, their neighbor Becky would be by to pick up the mail that evening.
I can't talk right now I'm doing hot girl shit.
*has an intense staring contest with their dog*
Goldfish
Green eyelights met empty black eyes. Sans glanced over to his friend, more than a little curious as to what was going on. Kelp didn't blink. Neither did the fish in the tank. The older skeleton went over to the completely normal one, or, Sans thought Kelp was completely normal.
"Uh, buddy?" Kelp waved him away. "Kelp?" The younger fisherman finally blinked. And the moment that was over, he stared with an even more intense glare than earlier.
"Has that thing ever blinked?" He asked, finally turning away from his "adversary."
"Pretty sure it hasn't. It's a fish," Kelp took a moment to digest the words that had just been said. A soft ohhhhh came from the fisherman as he turned back to the goldfish. "It doesn't have eyelids, I thought you knew that,"
"I do! I just forgot," Kelp mumbled, his face flushing a light green. Sans patted him on the back as they continued walking towards the docks.
"Umm, Kelp?" Horror was shushed. The Great White nudged his landwalker partner. "Kelp?" The two sharks present shared a worried look for their two-legged mate. "Are you okay?" Green had been staring at gold for an unknown amount of time when- Dream blinked and shook his head. After a few more blinks, he looked back at Kelp, who was dusting off his shorts and slowly standing up. Once he was straight, he had a grin plastered on his face. The three mers were about to ask when-
"Hah! I knew it! You do blink!" He gave off a cheer, confusing his present company.
"Why wouldn't I?" Dream asked, confused, but completely adoring the sense of accomplishment Kelp was oozing.
"There's this-" Kelp struggled with the words for a moment. "Goldfish, and the damn thing never blinks. It doesn't have eyelids. But, you're a goldfish-" Dream let out a soft laugh.
"Kelp, I'm still a mer. Of course I blink," The skeleton didn't bother fixing his clothes to keep it from getting wet, he simply jumped in the water and hugged Dream. Horror and Dust joined in the hug, all three mers purring happily.
"That's even better. It means I win against that stupid fish. Because you're a leviathan and far superior,"
"Why were you even having a staring contest with it?" Dream asked, wiggling his tail with glee as he was surrounded by loved ones in a tight embrace.
"I- don't remember anymore... But! That doesn't matter," The three remained hugging until the mers had to return to the Depths.
