*slams fists on table* EDGE. BLUEBERRY. FRIENDSHIP. HEADCANONS.

Listen, this relationship has just become SO IMPORTANT to me to think about because its honestly overlooked potential in the fandom (in my opinion at least). What little there is, is generally “angry tsundere seeks to protect the innocence of the bouncy baby sheep”.

Not that this can’t be a fun dynamic, but given that I’ve been trying to distance myself lately from both Baby Blue and Evil Overlord Edge interpretations I thought I’d give my own take on this unlikely friendship.

-While it was a rocky start, Edge actually developed a pretty quick respect for Blue. Though a lot smaller, he was clearly a powerful opponent. Blue is a hard worker and gives his all to everything he does, which is a characteristic Edge will always hold in high regard. The optimism and overt friendliness was a little insufferable at first, but it was a little easier hearing those things from an alternate of Sans than from his own Tale counterpart. Eventually he even grew a certain fondness for his upbeat attitude, though he never shared it.

-It actually took Blue a little longer to warm up to Edge than Edge to him. While Blue is friendly and generally tries to see the best in people, he was initally a little repelled by Edge’s bossiness and hypernegative attitude towards life. He was still polite and tried to include him in group activities but he didn’t really seek Edge out for one on one interactions at the start. Slowly, though, he began to realize that Edge was one of the few people that didn’t treat him like a kid brother. Edge never seemed thrown when Blue would say something sarcastic, nor did he ask if something was wrong if Blue just wasn’t smiling as much that day. Hanging out with Edge was almost a break for him, a break from having to be the bright shining light of positivity. With Edge he could indulge himself in some more repressed sides of his personality, such as his penchant for the occasionaly dark joke or his sometimes startlingly grim views on the future or life. Don’t get me wrong, Blue is genuinely a positive person, who hopes for the best and is generally pretty happy. But at his core, he’s still a Sans, and still has those darker, lower energy moments. Being with Edge was like he finally had permission to be that way when he had to. 

-Both are total gym rats and spend a lot of time comparing workouts and competing over reps. They have absolutely done that thing where they take treadmills next to each other and play Chicken with the speed settings. One time Blue tripped and got launched through the wall behind them. Still, its good natured.

-When not at the gym they spend a bizarre amount of time in mall food courts. Sometime they’ll go shopping but they also like to just talk and people watch. Edge will never admit it but he has a serious weakness for Cinnabon and Blue likes the Orange Julius’. 

-Blue is the Adrenaline Junkie and Edge is the Mom Friend who will do pretty much anything if you accuse him of being chicken. They do everything from skydiving to streak through government property in the dead of night. Edge complains the whole time.

-They give each other pretty much constant shit for how each other dresses.

Edge: NICE OUTFIT, SOMEONE DID TELL YOU THERE ARE COLORS OTHER THAN BLUE, RIGHT?

Blue: WAS HOT TOPIC HAVING A FIRE SALE? BECAUSE THOSE CLOTHES OUGHT TO BE BURNED

-Edge is the designated driver, mostly because he backseat drives Blue likes crazy
