Undertale: Sans' New Hope
Ch.2~ He worries
Me and Sans left the lounge chuckling, we decided to head to the café for lunch as usual. Over these first few weeks of classes it became a habit for us to go to the café together after chilling in the lounge doing homework or telling jokes. I lead him to the elevator, I had a feeling the walk to the café would be enough exercise for his lazy body. I guess mine too, the fall weather was okay for my asthma but I didn't like to push it, especially with the cold going around right now. Last thing I needed was to freak out Sans by having an attack, he was a bit of a Mother hen.
"The elevator, you're too kind m'lady." He teased, we stepped into the elevator and I pushed the main floor button.
"Just catering to you my lazy boned friend." I joked, he smirked up at me.
"Come on a strong girl like you can pick me up no prob."
"If I'm carrying you it'll be bridal style princess."
"If you're offering."
We left the elevator and he grinned at me, I shook my head as we left the building. I walked off the steps before he jumped at me laughing his head off. I caught him, holding him bridal style, I laughed down at him. He winked and I smirked before walking toward the café. For someone as big boned and tall he is surprising light, but I guess I could lift hundred and fifty pound pans of bait on my dad's boat no problem.
"You are so silly Sans, be lucky you're my friend."
"Come on a knight should always carry their princess."
"So you're my princess, man I would give you twenty bucks to wear a dress."
"You wear one and so will I."
"You're on."
Arriving at the café I set him down, he opened the door for me which made me smile as we walked in. I froze at the over-whelming smell of perfume, I quickly reach for my backpack. Sans looked to me as I searched for my emergency puffer holding back the coughs that threatened to come.
"Sarah you okay?" he asked, I began to cough unable to find my puffer, damn it where was it? "Sarah, come on bud talk to me."
I felt his arms wrap over my shoulder, I felt my hands tremble as my coughs worsened. Stupid puffer where the hell are you, I froze, it was at home in my work vest, shit! I found myself leaning into Sans as he lead me outside into the fresh air. I tried to talk but only coughed more trembling in his hold barely breathing.
"Sarah, damn it bud." He cursed, I tried to calm down and breath but my coughs kept coming.
"S-sans, I-I need to go home." I sputtered, he nodded and picked me up like I had done for him, I held my bag to my chest.
"I'll get you home, just stay awake bud." He hushed, I leaned into his chest coughing.
I felt my body be surrounded by magic, looking up I saw his right eye glow blue with magic. Soon we disappeared and reappeared in the parking lot of my group of townhouses, he began to scan the numbers as I coughed. I could feel him begin to panic, until he finally spotted my place, he raced toward my deck faster than I'd ever seen him. I fumbled to get my key, he took it from me with his magic unlocking the door.
He pushed the door open with magic and shut it again, he raced to the livingroom laying me down on the couch. Looking down at me I saw blue tears forming in his eyes, my breathing calmed down a bit and I pointed to the vest on the computer chair. He nodded and grabbed it he held it toward me I reached into a pocket retrieving my puffer. Taking a few puffs I waited and took more until I finally stopped coughing.
"Thanks Sans, didn't mean to scare you." I thanked, he looked down at me relieved.
"Damn it bud, what the hell happened to you?" he questioned, stroking my forehead.
"I'm okay now, it was just an asthma attack, the smell of perfume set it off." I answered, he frowned as I reached up to wipe away his tears.
"You need to keep this on you." He nagged pointing at my puffer.
"I know, I guess I forget to take it out of my work vest when I got off last night." I stated, he leaned down putting his head on my chest.
"You scared the skin off me bud, hehe you even had me crying. You're not allowed to die on me okay." He said, I rubbed his skull smiling.
"Don't worry Sans, this is kinda normal for me." I soothed, he frowned.
"Not breathing isn't normal, you looked like you were gonna pass out. I thought I was gonna lose you." He sobbed, he began to cry again, I hugged him close.
"My poor Sans, I'm okay now, you helped me, my knight in shining armor." I hushed, he held onto me as I sat up rubbing his spine and skull.
"Hey I'm home!" brother called, I looked up to see him step into the living room which made him freeze. "Who are you and what are you doing to my little sister?"
He hauled Sans off me by his hoodie then pulled him to his tiptoes by his shirt, I glared at him and looked to Sans who was in shock. I stood up grabbing brothers wrist that was holding Sans up. He turned to me in confusion as I slowly got him to release Sans, I pulled my friend close again.
"It's alright brother, this is my friends Sans, he carried me home when I was having an asthma attack to get my puffer. He kinda had a panic attack over it, isn't that right my poor SANS-ation." I explained, Sans lifted his head from my chest to look at my brother apologetically.
"Wait, you had another attack, why did you need to come home to get your puffer?" Brother questioned, I looked away embarrassed.
"Forgot it in my work vest again, sorry bro. But Sans got me home really quick." I answered, he sighed heavily.
"Damn it Sarah, I'm gonna call Mom and tell her you had an attack, then do you guys want to watch some videos on YouTube to calm down?" he offered, I nodded and Sans did leaning back into my chest.
Brother walked up the stairs with his usual heavy steps, I rubbed my hands up and down Sans spine soothingly. He gripped onto the back of my baggy hoodie still distressed, I could tell he was checking my stats. That worrywart, I smirked as I leaned down planting a kiss on top of his skull. He pulled away looking up at me his face glowing blue, Oh my god he looked so cute!
"I told you I was fine, my little blueberry." I teased, he gulped.
"B-blueberry?" he stuttered, I poked his forehead.
"Yep, you're a blueberry."
"You're so weird bud."
"Someone has to be, now stop checking my stats and let's get ready for some side splitting laughs."
"Okay, and since I checked your stats without permission you can check mine."
I nodded and used my magic to view, his stats, he and low almost non-existent attack and defense. Not too surprising considering how lazy he was, I doubt my stats were any higher. Looking to his health I felt my soul freeze, he only had one health. The lowest health I had seen was ten, and they were chronically ill, what the hell caused him to be so low on health?
"Sans.. you're health."
"Yeah I know, it's always been this low, Paps thinks it's because I'm so lazy."
"Sans.. that's.. fine tell me when you're ready."
No need to push, I mean sure we were pretty good friends but I didn't want to push him too far. I know I'd have trouble talking about stuff like that, I mean I avoided telling him about my asthma after all. Sighing I lead him over to my brothers PC, pushing him onto the old large lounge chair, he pulled me next to him with a stupid grin.
"Knock Knock."
"Hehe Alright who's there?"
"Alfredo."
"Alfredo who?"
"No need to be scared I got ya bud."
I chuckled at his joke, he winked at me seeming to have finally calmed down from his panic attack. Damn this skeleton was going to be the death of me. He was way too sweet for his own good, and he doesn't even know it. I leaned my forehead to his, he flushed blue as I began to giggle which made him chuckle along with me.
"You are such a nerd blueberry."
"And you're not, miss-I-collect-comics-and-fantasy-books."
"Fair."
I heard brother footsteps again trudge toward the stairs, lucky for us he's so loud when he moves. Or else he might have hauled Sans off by his clothes again. I leaned back and he did the same to the other side as my brother walked over to us plopping down at the computer. He stretched and turned on the monitor and began to look for a playlist to watch. Sans seemed to be nervous, I tugged at his hoodie and smiled at him as he looked to me. He smiled back, I shifted trying to give him more room but I found myself half in his lap, but he didn't seem to mind.
"You gonna be alright when I head to my lab at three sis?" he asked, I took out my phone seeing it was twelve fourty-five.
"I'll be fine bro." I soothed, he looked at me not convinced.
"Hey I can stay with her, I can miss my Theoretical Physics class it's pretty basic for me." Sans offered, I giggled at him.
"Only you would say theoretical physics is basic." I teased, he shrugged.
"You forget I used to work as the assistant to a quantum physicist." He rebutted, I smirked at that.
"How old are you?" brother asked, Sans winked at him.
"I'm a skeleton, how old do you think I am?" he joked, I slapped him lightly. "In human years I'm about a hundred, but that's like early-twenties for a skeleton."
"That's pretty brutal, so how does some Game Grumps animations sound guys." Brother replied, I nodded and Sans did too.
"Hey if this girl thinks it's funny I'm sure it will be HUMERUS." He chortled, I giggled as brother rolled his eyes starting the playlist.
(Sans' POV)
Her brother had run off to the university early to get some food, me and her stayed seated on the lounger. She had pretty much maneuvered herself into my lap, and was leaning against me as we chuckled at the animations. Something about this felt so natural to me, just sitting here with her felt right. She didn't have any fear towards me, she never had, and she was almost eager to get closer to me.
"So what you want to do since you're stuck here with me?" she asked tilting her head back to look up at me, I smirked down at her.
I heard the front door open and some loud rap music playing, she turned to the door. That wasn't her brother, or she would have left my lap, right? Who was that?
"Hey Madeline!" she greeted, I saw a small woman with shoulder-length hair and a big sweater on enter the room.
"Hey Hun, oh and who's the friend." She replied, Sarah turned to me smiling.
"Oh this is my friend Sans, remember I told you about him, he staying with me since I had asthma attack earlier when we went to the café." Sarah explained, her friend looked at her in worry.
"Not again, did you take your puffer? Want me to stay home tonight?" she questioned walking over to the chair.
"I'm fine, you have work tonight and you're going to Curt's after, I'll be fine, Sans is staying till Chris gets home." Sarah soothed, her friend sighed rubbed her head.
"Here I was going to ask for a ride to work." She muttered.
"I can still drive you, I'm fine." Sarah argued, I glared at her.
"Hell no, you're not allowed till tomorrow, you know that. I can walk if I hurry." She stated, I looked to Sarah who was pouting.
"Hey I can drive you, if Sarah doesn't mind letting me drive her car." I offered, Sarah turned to me smiling.
"Of course you can, I've been curious about you're driving skills mister teleport." She teased, I shrugged at her light teasing.
"Oh fine then." Madeline sighed, and went off to I assume put on her uniform.
"Oh since we're out why don't we pick up your brother and bring him over to hang out. Then I can make you both supper." Sarah cheered, I smiled at her, she had been eager to meet Paps since the day we met.
"Sure, I'll text him to wait at the school for us to get him. You don't have to go through so much trouble for us you know." I stated, she chuckled lightly shoving me.
"It's no trouble, I'm the one that's putting you out, besides I must meet him he seems so sweet, and I've been wanting to make you guys my own special recipe, I'm sure you'll both love it." She chimed, I pulled out my phone texting Paps that I'd be over to pick him up with a friend of mine.
"So, how come this is the first time you brought your boyfriend home?" Madeline teased, Sarah leaned over the back of the chair as I flushed. Boyfriend? Me?
"Shut up Maddy! He's my friend!" she growled, I poked her side.
"If I was would that make me your Vertebae?" I joked, she broke out into a fit of laughter.
"That's you're best one yet." She laughed, I smirked as Madeline gave me the, I'm watching you point.
"You two are so cute, oh to be young again." Madeline wooed, I chuckled at that.
"Who said I was young missy, I'm a hundred of your human years." I said, she laughed at that.
"For skeletons that makes you in your early-twenties, don't looked shocked I'm a major in Monster studies." She rebutted, "Now, stop cuddling and let's head out I want to eat before my shift if I can."
Sarah hopped out of my lap and raced to grab her car keys from her bag which she tossed to me. I checked for my wallet in my pocket before turned to see her shove her puffer and wallet into her hoodie pocket.
I lazily slide of the lounger and followed the ladies outside as her friend locked their door as Sarah skipped to her car. I unlocked the doors and got into the driver's seat, she hopped in next to me fiddling with the radio and a cord. Madeline stood on the deck with a smoke as I started the car, Sarah had her phone hooked up to the cord.
"What you doing?" I asked, as I began to adjust the mirrors to my height.
"Oh this, it lets me play my tunes from my phone in the car, it's a lot better than listening to some top a hundred's station." She answered, she played a classic rock song.
"Nice, what kind of music you listen to, besides those anime songs you and Tohru rock to?"
"Pretty much everything, but I prefer either classical, dub-step, or rock and metal." She listed, "what about you?"
"Same, really depends on my mood, do have any songs by Mindless Self Indulgence?"
"You like them too, and yes I do, let's play that then, probably not gonna be able to listen to it when we pick up Pap."
"True, I think Pap would die of embarrassment, you don't know how hard it is to even curse around him. Damn he is too damn innocent, he likes less intense music."
"Alright let's head out lover birds." Madeline teased as she hopped in the back Sarah glared at her.
"Alright let's go, so where you work girly?" I asked.
"I work at the coffee shop by the Pete's Dinner and the MacDonald's." She explained, I nodded I knew that place.
"Coolio, now play our jam bud." I stated, just then she played 'Bitches' which made me laugh as I backed of the parking spot. "Wow Sarah nice timing."
"Excuse me Sans did you want 'Shut me up' or 'Get it up' instead?" Sarah teased, I chuckled as I pulled onto the road.
"True enough bud." I replied, Sarah leaned back in her seat as I changed lanes. Man I loved her sense of humor.
