"sans," said papyrus walking into the living room, a cigarette was in his mouth.
"Yes Papyrus?" Sans answered.
"it's ten p.m, don't you think you should go to bed?" Papyrus asked.
"Oh, it is?" Sans said, turning his head to a wall clock. "It is, Sorry, (Y/N), we'll have to continue this tomorrow!" Sans then ran upstairs into his room. You blinked. You and Sans were just playing with is action figures on the living room's floor and then one thing led to another and he left. You turned your head towards Papyrus and he winked at you.
"Thanks for helping take care of my brother and cheering him up about him not being in the Royal Guard once it disbanded."
"Oh, it's no problem," you said, chuckling nervously.
It's been only a day since the Monster race was let out of a place called the Underground by a small child named Chara. That child was your younger sibling. When Chara had come home suddenly they had urged you to come outside to meet all of the friends they made. Basically the entire Monster race. Sans and Papyrus were the first ones introduced to you and you just thought that Sans was just a sweet cinnamon roll, but you soon found out from Paps that he's been down because the Royal Guard had disbanded, so you decided that you would help cheer him up. First day and Sans wouldn't even get out of bed, which was apparently peculiar to Paps because he's always the first one up. Then the entire day you stuck with Sans help clean up the house and playing.
"At least he feels better for now. I should be getting home to Chara. I bet they haven't had dinner yet," You grunted as you stood up off the floor. You shook Papyrus' skeletal hand after grabbing your satchel and headed out the door. Conveniently they had taken the vacant house right next to yours. The one that was so called "haunted." It had major plumbing issues and a lot of the wood that made up the house was rotten. The skeleton brothers and you put the house back together to the point where it's slightly livable in. You had promised to help out until the house was fully livable in so you would be coming for the day to help out from then on.
You exited the house, heading over to yours as you heard a crashing sound hear from your own. Thoughts started pouring into your head. 'Was that Chara?' 'Are they hurt?' 'What happened?!' You ran into your house and slammed the door behind you. You heard a humming sound from the kitchen.
"Chara?" You called. A voice answered you from the kitchen.
"In here."
You walked into the kitchen, there was a giant mess of pink... Goo.
"Aw, Chara," You whined. You let your satchel fall to the ground and went to grab some towels from the closet.
"I'm sorry," they yelled after you. You came back with some dark greens towels.
"Don't worry about it, Chara. Just don't use the blender without the cap next time." You started wiping up the kitchen floor and Chara started on the cabinets. After you finished you started up a bath for Chara and had them take off their clothes so you could wash them. You put the clothes in the washer and started it. Sighing, you set your hands down on the rumbling machine. Then you headed to the bathroom to help wash the sticky pink goo off of Chara's body.
You close the door to your bedroom and flop onto the bed. You were so tired you couldn't even take off your day clothes. It's one A.M. and the entire time you were helping Chara get clean from the mess they had made on themselves. You let yourself fall into a deep sleep until only moments later you wake up to a banging nearby. You sit up on your bed, finding that it's morning already. You get off the bed and grab a change of clothes, heading to the bathroom to take a shower.
After the shower with your change of clothes on you take the clothes you were wearing yesterday and dunk it into the laundry basket. You went into the mudroom where the washer and dryer is to put Chara's clothes in the dryer only to be met with the dryer already running and the washer empty. You walk back into your bedroom and grab the laundry basket and throw all of your dirty clothes in. You start the washer with different settings than last night's so it would all get washed. Walking into the dining room you find paps sitting at the table with Chara. They were both reading the comics on the newspaper. You look to your left to see Sans cooking.. Something in the kitchen. Then you realize the sound you woke up to was Sans taking the pans out of the cupboards.
"Morning," you mumbled to paps and Chara. They both grunted a response and you walked into the kitchen towards Sans. He was cooking some hamburger in the pan.
"GOOD MORNING, HUMAN!" He yelled. He seems a lot more cheerful than he did yesterday.
"Good morning, Sans," you replied, giving him a smile. "What'cha cooking there?" You said as you stood next to Sans.
"Breakfast tacos!" He said, his perma-smile ever growing wider. You giggled at his child-likeness.
"Mind if I help?" you asked. Sans was taken by surprised for a moment but soon recovered by yelling.
"OF COURSE YOU CAN!"
"Okay, and since you've already started why don't we make a burrito instead? Like a breakfast burrito." You reached into the fridge and grabbed the tortillas.
"A burrito?" Sans asks. You nodded.
"Yeah, it's basically a taco but it's not so crunchy," you explained.
"Ohh," Sans gasped, "Let's make it!"
"Okay, okay, I'll grab the rest of the ingredients, you make sure the meat is cooked correctly." After you've given your instructions sans saluted to you.
"Yes, ma'am!" He said and went back to cooking the meat.
After everything was done Papyrus and Chara who were sitting at the table got up to make their plate of food. You all had a good time eating until a knocking came from the front door. You got up and reassured everyone, heading for the door.
You opened the door and greeted whoever it was.
"Oh, good morning mister Gotobed," you greeted.
"Good morning. Have you heard that racket this morning?"
"What racket?"
"The one the two skeletons were making, making weird noises and part of their house had come down because of that."
"Two skeletons? Uh, I'm sure you're mistaken. All morning Sans and Papyrus have been here helping make breakfast."
"Then there's only one reason: ghosts." Your blood pressure had dropped from what he said. You didn't exactly like scary things but saying that ghosts were the reason for a racket was just ridiculous. "Thank you for your time, but since that's the only reason I can come up with I'm going to have to ask the two skeletons here to call some ghost busters or something. Good day." Mr. Gotobed left the doorway and headed back down to his house.
You closed the door and headed back to finish your breakfast burrito. Chara started questioning what had happened at the door and you were reluctant to answer.
"Come on, tell us what happened!" Chara pleaded. You gave in after a few moments. Everyone was already staring at you, curious of your answer.
"Well, our neighbor was at the door, he was wondering what the racket he heard at your house was. I said that you guys were here and he started talking about ghosts."
"G-G-G-G-GHOSTS?!" Sans yelled. He was shaking extremely, causing the table to shake too.
"Calm down, I'm sure it's not a ghost. It's probably a raccoon or a feral cat looking for something to eat."
Sans had calmed down after that, but he was still shaking. At least the table stopped quaking. "How about we continue eating?" You asked and picked up your burrito. You ate it hungrily.
After breakfast all of you headed to the skelebro's house to do more work. When you came into the living room there was glass all over the carpet.
"Looks like that's what he was talking about," you said as you started picking up the glass shards. Chara helped you pick them up. Paps went to go get a plastic bag to put the glass in and Sans just stood there.
"M-maybe a g-ghost did this?" He asked. You shook your head.
"Nah, more like a cat," you answered. Chara nodded, agreeing with you.
"If you say so," Sans paused, looking at the ground for a moment. Then, "Let me help you clean that up!" Sans knelt down and began picking up the glass pieces.
Paps had come back with the bag and held it out for everyone to put the glass pieces in. You sighed, "This was my favorite vase, too." Papyrus had left with the pieces to go throw them away. Sans looked at you with sympathy.
"I'm sorry," he said.
"No need to apologize, Sans, it wasn't your fault. Besides, it was bound to happen anyway," you said cheerfully. That managed to have Sans cheer up a little. He smiled at you and you smiled back. Suddenly, Chara pulled on your sleeve and you looked down at them.
"What is it?" You asked.
"When are we gonna start working?"
"Oh, I'm sorry. Lets go," you said, grabbing a hammer that was left on the table and went to the side of the house that still had to be worked on.
After a long day almost everything was done. Only the bathroom had to be worked on, which you though wasn't really needed because they're skeletons. But it would be best to work on it anyway. Sans and Paps had already retired to their rooms and Chara had fallen asleep on the couch. You sat down on the floor next to the couch and petted Chara's hair.
You hadn't realized you fell asleep until you opened your eyes to a dark room. It was cold and you were leaning against a wall. Chara was gone and you could tell there was only one other person in the room. The person was leaning on you, snoring slightly. You gingerly lifted your hand to poke them awake. You felt bone when you were expecting skin and shivered. You grabbed their shoulders and softly shook them. They woke up with a start.
"Huh? Where?" According to the voice you would think it was Sans.
"Sans?" You ask.
"(Y/N)? Where are we?" Sans responds with a question.
"I don't know." You hug Sans as he starts to shake with fear. He hugs back. "We should find a way out." You stand up and so does Sans. He clutches to your arm.
You feel around the walls for any light switch or something. Finding one, you flipped it. The sight of the room you're in disgusted you and Sans hid behind you. A stench started wafting through your nose, it was enough to almost make you vomit. There was a dead body, already halfway decomposed, and blood all over the walls.
"Don't look, Sans," you said, hugging him tightly. He buried his face into your shirt, not wanting to smell the stench. You notice a door at the other side of the room and begin walking there. It was hard to walk due to Sans clutching onto you. You put your hand onto the knob then instantly recoil due to some weird sticky stuff on it. You stick your tongue out and make an 'ew' sound. You put your hand back on the knob and turn it, opening the door.
Another dark corridor. You step out into it, the door automatically closing behind you. You hated the dark but you hated stinky places even more. You were glad that you were out of there. You let out a sigh of relief and Sans grabbed your shirt, catching your attention.
"What's wrong?" You ask. Sans looks up to you with a big smile. He's still shaking.
"I was just wondering if you were okay!" You look at him suspiciously. He was quaking with fear just a minute ago and now is acting completely fine.
"I'm fine," I lie.
"Oh, please! You had to handle the gooey doorknob and look at the disgusting body. It's my turn to protect you now!"
"Uh, okay?" You said. Sans clutched your hand and pulled you along the dark hallway. "Sans, do you even know where you're going?"
"Nope!"
"Don't you think we should be more cautious then?"
"Don't worry, I can just protect you by summoning my bones!"
"Summoning... Bones?" You definitely never heard that before.
"Yeah! Oh, look, a door!" Sans said as we reached the end of the hallway. He opened a door and we walked in. It was dark. The light was suddenly flipped on and something was popped into my face.
"Surprise!" "surprise." Said two voices.
"Wait- what?"
"Sorry, (Y/N). We wanted to surprise you," Sans said.
"But-! What about the body?"
"It was a prop I made," said Chara.
"And the smell?"
"old garbage," Papyrus said as he lounged on the couch.
"Why would you want to surprise me with a haunted house esque.. thing?!"
"You mentioned a ghost in the house this morning, right?"
"It turned out it was just a cat," Chara said as they held up a tabby cat. You stood there with your mouth open. Sans took you hand in both of his and looked at you straight in the eye.
"I'm sorry, it was all my idea. Will you ever forgive me?" You look at Sans in the eye.. He seemed to be getting closer to your face. In the next moment his teeth had touched your lips and time had seemed to slow down. When he pulled away you turned your head and noticed Chara whistling.
"Wh-?" You started before you were pulled down for another kiss.
