Ok, so I don't know how this site works.. how do I add tags? Also pairing is sans/oc and other pairings will get posted as characters appear in the story. I am horrible at grammar, you have been warned. This is my first story and I am pretty much just writing it as I go, I am bad with jokes and puns so I can't do Sans justice. Current plans are to add in at least Frisk and Toriel next chapter.

It was no where near the first time it happened, it wouldn't be the last time it happened, but this just had to be the most inconvenient and most embarrassing time for it to happen. It was supposed to be a good day, you had slept through the night and actually woke up feeling recharged, you didn't have any obligations for the day, besides work, and it was nice enough out to take Nani to the park after dinner. So when you got to work only to find out an impromptu 'farewell' party was planned for your coworker it was like getting the air sucked out of your lungs. Company policy said you didn't have to go, you didn't want to go but you knew you had to. You where already considered a freak to everyone else you worked with, your boss and consequently THEIR boss didn't believe in things like 'mental health days' or that a mental illness was really anything more serious then a cold. So you grabbed a lorazepam swallowed it and hoped it was enough, because as usual you had put off getting them refilled and it was your last one. If you didn't go to this, you just knew they'd find some way to punish you for it, they'd push more of their work off on you, blame you for things you didn't do and generally just treat you like shit… and speaking of shit here comes your boss, Cody "Miko, you know we have a strict dress code here I'm afraid I'm going to have to write you up for breaking it". Not again, not again.. another supposed violation, another write up, another excuse not to promote you or give you a raise at promotion reviews. "I don't want to be rude" and you really didn't, you said it in a polite tone. "But what part of my outfit is breaking dress code?" You were wearing black dress plants with a nice short sleeved red blouse that showed no cleavage. "Miko your sleeves are to short" "The dress code says you are allowed t-shirt length sleeves, and again no disrespect but the other girls are wearing short sleeves as well" "The other girls don't have THAT mess on their arm" There. It. Was. Your scars, the clearly self-inflicted scars that they can't say anything about, yet they do. The downside of living in a small place and working for a company that basically owned the place, there was no one to go to. Sure you could quit, you had thought of quitting, but then you remembered.. you remember that you'd have to go out, to multiple new locations all in one day just to hand in resumes because half this town still lives with Fred Flintstone. You'd show up and try to ignore the looks you get when you enter with Nani, but the hardest part is always telling them why you need Nani. Telling them she's a service dog for ptsd and the inevitable relief on their face followed by confusion when they learn that no you aren't ex-military. The way they'll try to politely say the equivalent of 'you cant bring your pet to work just because your emotional' then watching them try to hold in their anger when you produce the letter from your doctor stating Nani is a real service dog and yes you do need one. It makes you want to give in, to just stop existing to leave and just keep going until you fade until you- And then you feel it, Nani pawing your leg and by the force you can tell she's been trying to bring you back for awhile. It takes a few minutes for you to fully calm down and bring yourself back to reality. This is why you stay, you can deal with it, you have been dealing with it. Sooner then you'd like its lunch and time to head out.

"Does she really need to bring it everywhere with her" No Lacy I only bring my SERVICE dog with me when my horoscope says to, really can they not at least they try to whisper. "It would be fine if she really needed it, its not like she has a real disability". You were starting to really regret coming, hopefully they had chosen a good spot to eat this time. You don't think you could handle eating another twenty dollar salad, I mean yah pretty much all your coworkers make more then you do but seriously..twenty dollars for lettuce with some croutons on it?

When you finally get to the restaurant you practically dive out of that stuffy car Nani, as always, followed when told and was perfectly composed. To your surprise it actually looked… nice? Can a building look nice? It had that faded and cozy wood siding with clear double glass doors and a big sign happily proclaiming 'Everyone, Anyone, Welcome All'. It seemed like a place that would be nice and noisy, not so much anyone was yelling but enough that you could go into your own head, no one would talk to you anyways. You headed to the door following behind Lacy and the other girl you had shared a car with, you braced yourself and got ready incase the host wanted to play twenty questions about Nani. You didn't mind the standard 1) is this a service dog and 2) what tasks does this dog provide for you, they had the right to ask those, and honestly with all the fake vests being sold online you really think they should. Hoping for the best you enter and are greeted by, a fire? Oh no wait its a monster, ya you heard of this type it's an elemental, you never go out so even though the monsters came up from under Mount Ebott well over four years ago this is one of the first you've seen in person. They extend their hand towards Cody in greeting only to get a disgusting look and sneer in reply. Their fire dimes the slightest but you doubt anyone but you noticed. So even though you hate touching anyone, seriously you wont even shake your moms hand, you give them a smile and extend your hand. You want to say hi but you know your voice won't come out and you don't know if they know ASL. Their touch is warm but not burning like it appears it would be. "Of course YOU'D sympathize with that thing Moki do you really need to embarrass this company further? We didn't know monsters worked here! They had amazing yelp reviews no one mentioned th-thIS we are here to eat and get out" "I know everyone is entitled to their opinions but that's just being racist you really should apologize, monsters are people they're citizens i'm pretty sure you're going to embarrass the company by being so openly hateful" "You're not deaf and we all know you can speak stop signing" You really don't know why you bothered, sure most of them knew some ASL from college but most have either forgotten it or simply don't like you enough to bother paying attention. You motion for Nani to take her position under the table and try to slip into that semi aware state that, yes ,you know is unhealthy, dangerous really, if you fully dissociate. But if you don't want to end up having an attack you need to just stop being for as long as you can. You're vaguely aware of everyone ordering and you're pretty sure you asked for some type of pasta so you are completely unprepared when the shouting starts. You don't know whats happening but theirs people everywhere all around you and god theirs noise so much noise.. you don't know what to do or how to react and people are bumping into you touching you and the last thing you can really remember is hearing "We wont miss you".
