A.N.: So last chapter I forgot to add a key so you can understand what is what, and I apologize for that now, seeing as I didn't mean to cause confusions. My beta commented how he didn't quite notice that it was supposed to be thought's or sign language, so I'm correcting that now and I'll go back and edit chapter 1 when I have some spare time to do so and fix that one.
Key: 'Thoughts' 'sign language' "normal speech" ("GASTER LANGUAGE/WINGDINGS TRANSLATION") puns for days
My eye's had flown closed as I curled into a tight ball, the glass shattering around me as I was dragged forward in a dizzying rush of movement. I braced to hit the floor, but...that never happened, instead, I was hovering slightly above the ground as I opened my eyes, spotting the blue magic hovering over my skin. Looking at Sans, I saw his left eye glowing blue as his hand was outstretched towards me. I was gently set down on my feet, leg's barely holding up my form since they hadn't been used in so long, causing them to be weaker than they used to be. I looked down at my body, shakily detaching the wire's and IV's that hadn't ripped off yet, then pulled the mask from my face as well, taking my first breath of fresh air in years. It...was cool...and felt so different from the stale tasteless oxygen I had been supplied in the tank.
"Sorry kiddo, but I think I'm gonna keep you here, for now, don't feel comfortable letting you out and about just yet."
I looked up at Sans, about to try and speak when my legs decided to give out on me and I let out a yelp as I fell flat on my ass on the hard, unforgiving ground, though the yelp was barely even audible due to the lack of use of my voice causing it to be just a minor scratch of incomprehensible sound.
"clumsy much?" Sans chuckled, amused.
'You try being stuck in a fucking suspension tank for who knows how many years! The only thing I have full control over right now is my arms, and even then I highly doubt that is enough to do much of anything until I can learn to use my leg's again.' I huffed in irritation, knowing to try to use my voice was useless right now, I decided to just keep signing for now so that I could make sure he understood me.
"language. And as fun, as this has been, I gotta tank my leave of you for a while. I'll be back later, so don't fret over it too much alright kiddo?"
'Yeah yeah, just leave already. It's not like I'm going anywhere anytime soon. Doctor designed this place so you can only enter through the door, not exit it. He only came and went through teleporting, which I highly doubt you are capable of...nevermind…' I was startled as Sans vanished in a flash of blue right in front of me, disappearing from the room completely and leaving me alone yet again.
'Of course, he leaves me, why am I not surprised? At least I'm not in that tank anymore, but that doesn't matter if I can't move around much. Let's see...maybe I can figure out something to do to help me move around easier...even if only a...bit…' My eyes landed on a rather disused and old rolling chair in the corner, and I grinned wickedly. 'That'll do it.'
~~~Several Hours Later~~~
I had managed to get myself across the room and into the rolling chair, grinning like a kid on Christmas as I silently giggled to myself at my accomplishment, now free to roll about where the floors were clear of shattered glass and slick suspension fluid's. I was tempted to try and find a broom or something to try to sweep it all aside, but my searches had proved futile for any such object in the room, leaving me somewhat bored after a while as I instead found my way to one of the computer consoles. It was interesting to finally get the chance to actually get a close up look of the system's that had been supporting me for so many years, and I was completely clueless to Sans arrival until two bony hand's slammed down onto my shoulder's.
I screamed, though it mostly came out as a release of air, there was a faint hint of a scratch to it of sound as I whirled around and slammed my elbow into the side of his head, sending him reeling back a few steps with a look of surprise on his face. I hadn't aimed to hurt, merely to move him away from me. "Hey, that actually stung a bit you know." He pouted.
'Serves you right for scaring the hell out me jerk. I can't hear you when you teleport into the room! Do you even realize how terrifying it is to have someone suddenly slam their hand's onto your shoulders when you weren't even aware of their presence?!' I glared at him, huffing out a breath of hot air.
"Heh, your right, sorry bout that. I just thought it'd be funny to get the jump on ya." He shrugged.
'I should put a bell on you so I can hear you coming from now on…' I glared at him, half tempted to flip the bird at him in my irritation.
"You do that i'll dunk ya into the concrete." He didn't sound too pleased with the comment.
My response was a forked tongue sticking out at him as I blew a raspberry. 'Bite me.' I flipped through the sign rather fast, not really thinking about it since it was just an instinctive reaction to his small threat.
"If you insist." Sans moved in front of me, rather quick on his feet which surprised me a bit as I leaned back away from him.
'Dude, I don't mean that literally.' I puffed out my cheek's, crossing my arms in front of my chest as I glared at him, just daring him to try something.
"Heh heh, relax kid, no reason for me to hurt ya… not yet…." He muttered the last part, though I could still hear what he said clear as day.
I huffed, and turned back around, flipping him the bird over my shoulder as I went back to studying the computer system once again. I was annoyed with his sly half threat's, and his rude behavior towards me in general. 'Honestly, this guy doesn't even give a damn if I feel offended by anything he says...ugh I just want to smack him now…'
"What…?" Sans voice sounded confused, and slightly disturbed behind me, making me silently giggle in amusement to his reaction.
'I know you saw it clear as day kiddo, so why don't you stop being such a jerk toward's me for once? I'm getting kinda sick and tired of your threat's and rude behavior. So why don't you take your attitude, and fuck off for a bit?' I flipped through the sign's one-handed, paying him no mind as I was reading the text on the screen with interest. 'How interesting...the Doctor injected me with malleable genes and something called...Determination...which sounds rather odd...I wonder what it is?'
I was startled by a hand slamming down beside my head onto the screen in front of me, and Sans head resting on my right shoulder. "I would stop using such vulgar language if I were you…"
'And what exactly are you going to do to make me stop? Throw a bone at me?'
"oh, I'll do a lot more than that, trust me."
'Seriously? Again with the threats? You really must not have anything better to do with yourself right now. I'm not impressed by the way...' Suddenly a large skull appeared out of thin air, hovering ominously on the other side of the console from me. It looked kinda like a cross between a dog and deer skull, with sharp teeth. 'Seriously?' *snap* As soon as Sans had clicked his fingers the skull shot out a beam of energy, cutting straight through the wall next to me.
I jumped backward out of my chair, I could feel my heart racing in my chest. 'What the hell was that!? You could've killed me!'
"well, maybe this will teach you to watch your language" I watched him sit down in the chair with a growing grin on his face.
I whipped my hand out and slapped him across his cheekbone, catching him completely off guard. 'Don't you ever do something like that again!' Tear's had started to streak down my face a bit now. 'Why are you being so mean to me? I didn't ask to be here! I didn't ask to be experimented on, and I sure as hell didn't want to be stuck here...the only reason I came to this godforsaken place was in hopes to end my suffering...but it seems I can't even do that right now can I?' I turned around, tears streaming down my face freely now. 'Just leave me...I don't even know why you bothered letting me out of that tank in the first place if all your going to do is make me feel even worse about all of this…'
"woah kiddo, I'm sorry… i didn't know, i didn't mean to" Sans got up from the chair and made his way over to me "I won't do it again, i promise… wanna shake on it?"
I stick my hand out to shake his but when our hands meet a shock was sent through my body 'ow, what the hell?!'
"heh heh, i know touching a skeleton can be shocking for some people but geez." He chuckled.
'Oh haha very punny ya bonehead.' I wasn't gonna forgive him completely just yet, even if he was at least attempting to make me feel somewhat better, it didn't exactly feel like he meant it all that much...especially considering the small prank he just pulled.
"ah come on now, ya gotta throw me a bone here kid, I'm doing my best!" He rubbed the back of his head as he chuckled nervously.
'Well, maybe try a bit harder...cause your game ain't got no style or class just yet. Unless you're old fashioned?' I smiled just a tad, he was at least somewhat trying to be nice about it, and it was kinda working.
"Wait...what...did you just…?!" He seemed slightly appalled and flustered as his cheekbones turned blue like he was blushing.
It was kinda cute and funny, and somewhat adorable. I don't know why but I had the urge to either hug him or kiss him right now, and couldn't decide which to do. I wound up giving in to a middle grounds, pulling him into a hug and giving him a kiss on his bright blue cheekbone, giggling softly. 'I can't stay mad at you for too long when you look so adorable while blushing.' I squeaked softly as his bony arm's wrapped around my waist, pulling me to him as he buried his burning face into my shoulder.
"Heh, guess I found myself a squeaky toy huh?" He chuckled into my neck.
I groaned and actually made some sound this time with it. 'Seriously.' He could make out the briefly signed word and chuckled a bit louder this time.
He shifted a bit uncomfortable after a minute and pulled back, still blushing that pretty blue color. "so….why don't we get to know each other some? i've never met a human like you before...so might as well learn about you some so I can get a good judgement on what kind of person you are." He sat back down on my chair, and I halfheartedly glared at him for it but let him for now as I leaned against the computer console.
'What do you want to know?' I signed to him curiously, wondering what he had in mind.
