Sans let out a small sigh as he watched his brother sprint ahead of him, eager to show him the 'positively astounding' house that he had found all on his own. It wasn't that Sans wasn't interested in seeing the house, he just wasn't interested in seeing his brother's disappointment when the door was slammed in his face as it had been to his so many other times. Ever since coming to the surface Sans had been having a tough time finding a place for him and his brother to stay. It wasn't due to any lack of money, he and Papyrus had both managed to snag jobs at some fancy clothing store down town and made decent paychecks (monsters were good for deterring thieves), it's just that most human's weren't too inclined to letting monsters rent out their spaces. The only reason he and Papyrus had a place to sleep right now was because Toriel had been kind enough to let them crash on her couch.
"Sans hurry up you lazy bones!" Papyrus yelled, snapping Sans out of his train of thought. Looking up Sans laid eyes on the house that Papyrus had so desperately wanted to show him. It was a small house, a little dated, hidden mostly behind the abundance of large trees growing around it what made it stand out, however, was its unique pastel orange exterior. Unlike every other house that looked relatively identical to each other only varying in their limited shades of grey or beige this one actually seemed to have some character.
"Isn't it great Sans?" Papyrus asked excitedly bouncing up and down with anticipation, "it's the perfect color and everything."
"It's defiantly got that going for it," Sans looked at a sign taped to the gate out front.
Roommates Wanted: Two bedrooms available - $400 a month per room – pet friendly.
"Price isn't a skele-ton either..." San grinned.
"Sans!" Papyrus shot his brother an aggravated look, "this is no time for your silly puns, this is serious business." Papyrus straightened his back and pushed the front gate open, "I have a room to mate."
Sans couldn't help but chuckle as he followed his brother up to the front door, which was painted an odd teal color. "Bro, why don't you let me handle this," Sans suggested shuffling to get ahead of Papyrus.
"I, the Great Papyrus, can handle this on my own thank you very much," he stated, wrapping his knuckles on the door before Sans could reach the doorbell.
The two stood silent, waiting for a response. An uncomfortable amount of time passed, "I don't think their home bro" Sans glanced down at his watch, 7:35 am.
"Nonsense," Papyrus started ringing the door bell, "I'm sure their just getting themselves ready to meet me."
Without warning the door slowly creaked open, "Hmm..." a raspy voice mumbled, Sans had to lean around Papyrus to see who it was. In the doorway stood a girl who had obviously just woken up; her short hair was sticking up in every direction, what looked to be a bed comforter was still draped around her shoulders, even her eyes were closed.
"Ah jeez didn't mean to wake ya-" before Sans could finish apologizing Papyrus cut in.
"Human! I, the Great Papyrus, and my brother, Sans, are interested in partaking in 'roommating' with you," Papyrus announced proudly.
The girl nodded, "yah" turning away she started trudging back inside the house "...come."
Papyrus nudged his brother in the shoulder, "just let me do the talking."
Sans could only stand in disbelief as he watched Papyrus march after the human. That went a hundred times better than he could have ever hoped, deciding not to look a gift horse in the mouth he stepped inside.
Sans quickly found himself sitting at the kitchen table with Papyrus looking around excitedly while the girl made herself some coffee. Her movements were slow and she was still yet to open her eyes. After about five minutes of waiting she flopped down in the free chair at the table and took a sip of her coffee.
"Human," Papyrus started, "as stated before we are interested in roommating with you."
The girl nodded slowly, taking another sip of coffee.
Sans decided that he should probably cut in, "uhh... yah like my brother said were interested in those two rooms you have available and we were wondering if you'd be willing to rent them out to us."
Papyrus crossed his arms, obviously offended by Sans butting in.
The girl took another big sip from her mug and then set it down on the table, wiping her mouth off with the blanket she had draped around her. Slowly she opened her eyes, taking a look at the both of the brothers.
Sans clenched his fist, knowing what was about to come next.
"Sure, but don't you want to take a look at the rooms before you commit?" she asked, unfazed by their appearance.
Sans blinked, a bit startled by her lack of it, "Uh, yah...I guess that'd we-."
"Of course, Human!" Papyrus interjected, throwing Sans a triumphant smirk now that he had retaken the conversation.
"Heh," the girl gave a small laugh and stood up "this way" she started towards a staircase outside the kitchen.
Papyrus shot up, hurrying to stand behind her; Sans slid out of the chair and strode after the two, taking time to look around at the house. Beggars can't be choosers but he still wanted to know what he was getting into.
The girl took the two upstairs, showing them first what Papyrus decided would be his room. It was about the size of his old bedroom but the walls were covered in a...unique...red wallpaper, which immediately won him over.
While Papyrus was busy inspecting his room-to-be the girl walked Sans down the hall to what he assumed would be his room.
"Uh...Sorry about waking yah up so early," Sans apologized, scratching the back of his head, hoping that they had not started things off on the wrong foot.
The girl gave a tired smile, "it's fine, I...meant to get up early anyways." The girl opened the door and shuffled inside, "it's not as big as the last one but it's got the best Wi-Fi connection in the house."
Sans looked around, the room had a comfortable feeling about it, maybe it was just the funky wall paper or maybe it was just the smaller size of the room but he liked it. "It's perfect," he looked back at the girl, "by the way...I never got your name."
The girl smiled shly, holding a hand out "it's Crevan."
Sans took Crevan's hand and shook it, "nice to meet ya, roomie."
"Holy boloney...Sans! Come look at my closet! It's huge!" Papyrus called from down the hall.
"On my way bro," Sans replied before looking back at Crevan, "not to rush ya but...when can we move in?"
"I'll go get the paper work and as soon as that's finished you guys can move in today if you want," Crevan replied happily.
