Pain. Pain, darkness, shame, and hunger. All of this was your world. Pain filled your body as they abused you. Darkness was your only refuge. Shame burned your soul like a wild fire, while you struggled not to starve. Humans... humans were never kind to you. You were a freak. You kept your head down, eyes closed, and heart locked away. But you couldn't take it anymore. The scars on your back itched as you walked up the steep mountain. This... would be the end. The stories of people who went information the mountain said they never came back. You hoped now more then ever that was the truth.
The hole before you was massive. With no bottom to be seen, you smile softly to yourself. " finally... I can be free... of this hell. " turning your back to the hole, you watch as the sun begins to set over the town in the distance. " ha... it's... a beautiful day... " you lean back and feel your body begin falling through the air. " at last... peace. " it felt like an eternity before you landed. But when you did... you didn't feel pain. " what...? " you had landed in a patch of flowers. Bright, yellow flowers that glowed with a happy light. " what? Who is that? Is there someone here? " a tall figure stood over you, white fur shining and a kind expression on her face. " oh my! A child? Poor thing... come with me. " the stranger picked you up and began carrying you. Shock flooding your system, you pass out.
" urghhhh... " your eyes open to reveal an unfamiliar room. It wasn't very fancy, just a bed, lamp, and a chair in the corner. You feel something soft brush against your cheek, and jump. " oh! Sorry. Good to see your awake. Now then... are you alright? Hungry? " the stranger motions to a pie on the bedside table. It smelled faintly of cinnamon and butterscotch. " uhn... where... am I? " a gentle smile forms on the Furry face before you. " ah. This is the underground. I found you in the middle of these ruins. I must ask though... how did you manage to get in? " you shake your head, memories fuzzy. " i... don't remember... " she sighs quietly. " I am toriel. Do not fret my child. You will be safe here. "
You stayed with toriel for a few months, but soon grew restless. " t... toriel...? " you look into the den where your goat like guardian normally sat. " yes my child? What bothers you? " you step in and look around. " w... well... could i... go outside? " the usual smile left toriel's face quickly. " a... are you sure my child? It's... not safe outside. " you take a deep breath and nod. " yes. I need to see... what this world is like. " toriel stands up and walks over to you, pulling you into a tight embrace. " very well. Follow me. " she lead you down an endless maze of hallways before finally two large stone doors blocked your path. " here... this is the exit. But my child... promise me you will be safe. Don't let them... don't let ASGORE find you. if you find yourself in to deep... you may always return here. " toriel turns to you and smiles sadly. " farewell... my lovely child... "
The world outside the ruins was cold. Snow was falling all around you, and you instinctively hug yourself. " brr... is this... a forest? " looking around as you started walking, you see the trees get closer together. Almost like they were blocking your escape. Keeping you on one set path. Your breath hung in the air as a mist with every puff. The snow crunched under your feet. But... something felt wrong. You were being watched. And not just your average ' hello new person ' kind of way. You could feel a hunger in their gaze. A hunger that made you shiver with disgust, not cold.
The silence was deafening. But no matter how hard you tried, you couldn't shake the feeling of being watched. " is... someone there? " you call out into the quiet. A low chuckle is the response. " hey... you're pretty observant ain't you? " whirling around you see two eyes glowing at you. " who are you?! " reflexively you shrink back a little. " me? Name's sans. And you are...? " sans steps into the light, giving you a clear view of him. A sleeveless jacket with bright blue fur trimming the hood and bottom, a black tank top with the same blue heart on the front, low slung black pants barely rested on his hips, and bright blue boots. After the initial shock of his outfit you realize... he was all bone! A skeleton?! " uhh... y/n... " sans smirks at you and walks over from the trees. Your eyes follow his movements. Smooth and thought out, but still looking effortless. " nice name. So... you must be new here huh? " holding out his hand to you, his black half-gloves draped over the bones, you shake it.
" you... could say that I suppose. " his eyes danced with a playful glimmer of lust. Not enough to make you feel uncomfortable, but enough that you knew what was on his mind. " well, follow me! I know all the good places around here. And I mean ALL of them. " he had gotten close and whispered that last bit in your ear. Your face flaming instantly at his voice. " well, you coming? Or do you need help with that?~" his insinuating tone and choice of words make you stutter. " u...uh... y..yeah. " you follow the strange skeleton over a small bridge and into a town. The sign read ' SNOWDIN, where the action is! ' shaking your head at the sign, you continue to follow sans through the town. " so hey, what's your story? " his question snaps your attention back to what's going on. " my... story? " you aren't sure what he means. " yeah, I mean everyone here has one. " he gives you a sideways glance and smirks. " I dance ya know~ pretty well if the monsters at grillz is anything to go by. "
He winks at you sending another shiver down your spine. " speaking of, this is the place. Come on in. " loud music could be heard blaring through the door, and lights flashed inside. Once the door opened, you realized just what it was able this place that had you feeling on edge. A strip club. Sudden thoughts of strange men grabbing at you, and pulling at your clothes flashed through your mind making you dizzy. " woah, you ok y/n? " sans had your hand and a concerned look on his face. " yeah... i'm fine. Thanks sans. " regaining your composure, you straighten up and look around. There where all kinds of monsters here. Some were dancing on stages, others serving food or drinks. And some... well. Looking away from the stages, you notice a tall figure behind the bar, he seemed to be a man on fire. Fishnet shirt and blue tints at the end of his ' hair ' gave him an attractive, if not a little trashy look. " welcome sans! Bring a new toy with you tonight?~ " the bartender looked at you with a heated grin. " Nah, not tonight grill. This one's new, gotta ease them into it ya know. " sans sends you a sly wink and continues to talk to who you assumed was grillby. Another tall figure emerged from the crowd and stood behind sans. " SANS! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! " sans flinches before turning to the new arrival. " hey bro, how's things? " taking a better look at the taller figure, you see he too is a skeleton.
Although taller than sans, there was no denying that they were brothers. The playful, yet stern look in the glowing pink eyes of the taller skeleton was a dead give away. Taking in the pink shirt that left his ribs exposed, the torn black cape, tight pants, and gaudy yellow boots, you flush with embarrasment. " DO NOT ' HOW'S THINGS ' ME! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING JUST TAKING OFF LIKE THAT. OH. HELLO. WHO ARE YOU? " your face goes red as a tomato when you feel the other skeletons eyes fall on you. " pap, this is y/n. She's new here. Thought I'd show her the ropes. " a snicker came from grillby before sans silenced him. " not THAT kind of rope! Yet. " another wink was sent to you, shooting your embarrasment through the roof. " WOAH! Never seen a human do that before. " the surprised gasps of sans, papyrus, and grillby makes you look at each one in turn. Sans was staring at your head, grillby was focused behind you, and papyrus was... was he shaking? " wh... what?! " you throw your hands on your head and to your horror, felt ears. It didn't take much for you to realize what had happened. " i... i... " you couldn't find the words to speak. Instead running from the club and hiding in the ally beside it. Sinking into the snow, you put your head in your arms.
" y/n? " you hear sans voice call out to you. " there you are, we wondered where you ran off to so fast." his voice was still calm and playful. " i... i'm sorry. " you mumble. " sorry? For what? " his footsteps had stopped right in front of you. " for... this. " your tail flicks behind you as you speak, ears twitching at the slight laugh. " for the ears? Damn, those are cute! They totally work for you. " his laugh made you look up at him. Instead of the disgust, or sick curiosity you normally saw, you saw pure wonder and excitement. " y... you think so? " no one had ever told you your ears were a good thing. " hell yeah! That's one of the sexiest things I have ever seen. " his words were drowned out by another voice. " SANS?! DID YOU FIND HER? I SWEAR SANS, IF YOU SLEEP WITH HER- " papyrus turns the corner and sees you, red faced, ears folded back, and tail wrapped around you. " W... WELL. SORRY ABOUT THAT. "
Papyrus looked at sans with an odd expression before sans spoke. " come on y/n, you can crash at our place for a bit. " taking his hand, he pulls you to your feet. On the way, several monsters made a variety of cat calls, whistles, and other sounds of approval at you. Some of them even went so far as to put an arm around you. Sans warned them off quickly after seeing the reactions you had. But one of them just wouldn't take no for an answer. " hey pretty girl. How about you come with me for a bit? I promise you'll have fun~ " the moment the monsters hand brushed against your skin, memories flooded your mind, a man with a cruel smile. Chains, pain, burning, screams, fear. You scream and collapse into the snow, eyes wide but unseeing. You couldn't see the world around you, shivering and holding yourself tightly in the snow. " no... nonono... don't touch me. Don't hurt me! Don't... no! " you hear yelling, sans threatening the monster, and another voice calling you. " Y/N? Y/N! CAN YOU HEAR ME? " it was papyrus, he was beside you, trying to snap you out of your nightmare. " give her a little room pap, looks like she's had some issues. " sans' voice cuts through the terror like a knife. Filling you with a sense of peace. " s... san...s? " your voice shook and trembled with your body. " yeah. I'm here. " your vision clears, and you see him giving you a curious, but not demanding look. " i... i'm sorry. I... I don't know what happened..." sans helps you to your feet before humming. " have you... always had an issue with someone touching you? " the question shook you as you tried to remember. " i... don't think so... I can't remember... " he pats your back as you walk. Oddly, his touch doesn't make you shiver.
" here we are. I uh... i'm sorry for the smell. " his face blushes a bright purple and he looks away from you. " ah... " The smell of sex and sweat filled the air in the house. As it flooded your mind, a sense of fear washed over you. A small dark room, a creaky bed. Ropes and bars, locked in. No way out. Your breathing picks up and sans notices. " hey, don't worry. Nothin will happen to you ok? " his voice soothed the terror slightly and you look at him. " I promise. No one will do anything ok? It's just me and pap who live here. " papyrus places his hand on your shoulder and smiles. " yes. Just us here. " his expression was kind, if not a little wanting. The idea of sex made you tremble. What had happened to you?
Sans and papyrus kept their word. Neither one touched you. At least, not in a bad way. They asked if it was alright first, or apologized if they bumped into you. It made you feel a little guilty. " hey... sans? " sans looked up from the t.v, the meta show was on. " yeah? What is it? " he flicked the mute button on the remote before turning his attention to you. " i... kinda understand the way this place runs. And... how can I at least help out? I mean... I feel bad just free loading. " sans' eye sockets widen in surprise. " uh... well, I wasn't expecting that... " he laughs and blushes. " well, aside from what you have been doing, I can't think of anything. " you nod. All you had been doing was tidying up the house. That and... well, stainless sheets would be a miracle invention. " b... but... I mean... " you fidget as he looks at you. " I just... feel like I should do more. " papyrus bursts into the room holding a letter. " SANS! SANS I GOT A REPLY! " he waved the letter excitedly and plopped down on the couch. " look! He wants me to come to the show! " you glance over the taller brothers shoulder and skim the letter. " hey papyrus? Would you mind taking me with you? "
The show set was empty. Only you, papyrus, and around three other monsters sat in the audience. " hello everyone! " mettaton's voice echoed in the mostly empty studio, his voice sounded strained, and forced. By the end of the show, you felt disgusted. Not from the show itself, but from the callers. It was clear to you that mettaton was suffering. " hey pap? Would you mind... if I stole a little time to talk to Metta? I... I can relate to how he feels. " papyrus gives you a surprised look before nodding. " OF COURSE! AFTER ALL, I CAN UNDERSTAND BEING A FAN! " his laugh made you smile and nod. Thanking him, you slip away to the dressing room. Knocking on the door softly, you hear quiet Sobs behind the door. " excuse me... mettaton? " you call through the door and hear a gasp, followed by quick shuffling and footsteps. The door opens and mettaton greets you.
" hello! Is there something I can do for you?~ " his t.v act was back in place, strained joy and upbeat tone. " mettaton... i... want to talk to you... about those callers... " his expression slips as his breath catches. " ah... wha... what about them? " his glasses did little to hide the guarded look he gave you. " may... I come in a moment? " the robot host pauses before moving over, allowing you to pass. " what is this about? " mettaton stood away from you, watching carefully as you sat on a chair. " I wanted to say... I know how you feel. " his expression turned shocked, then curious. " you do? " nodding you raise your head. Opening your eyes fully for the first time since you arrived. Icy blue eyes stared at Mettaton, and the robot gasped. " y... your eyes... their.. " you nod and close them halfway again. " I know. But... I could see... you have suffered. And still do. " mettaton's expression softened as he looked at you. " the scars happened a long time ago. I... don't even remember who gave them to me. " mettaton sat down across from you and sighed. " so... you were...? " you nod slowly. " i... don't remember much. But I do remember being locked away in a small room. Men and women came to me. They... used me. " you started shaking as images flooded your mind. Men, women, strangers all of them. Some of them came more often, but all of them played with you. Made you feel gross. "
" i... wanted to let you know... your not alone. I... I know how you feel. And... it's not easy. " you look up to see mettaton shake. " you... poor thing... h... how long...? " tears fell down his face, and you feel tears of your own well up. " i... don't know for sure. I know it... was a long... long time... and... I couldn't escape. " you reach a hand out to the t.v host and smile. " but I do know one thing. I'll stand by you Metta. I'll support you in anyway I can. And... I hope we can be friends. "
