The next morning you wake up feeling worse than you were yesterday. You feel your forehead. Hot. Despite feeling terrible, you somehow manage to make yourself get out of bed and trudge into the kitchen, where Toriel is making pancakes.
"Good morning, my child", Toriel greets as she places a plate of pancakes drizzled in maple syrup on the table.
You sleepily wave back at her and sit down in front of the pancakes. They look delicious, but you aren't sure if you have the stomach for them, since you're sick and all. Toriel notices you staring at the pancakes and asks, "Is something wrong?"
"I'm just not sure if I can eat all this, Mom..."
"Oh! I had forgotten that you were not feeling very well last night. I went out this morning and got a thermometer so we can check your temperature to make sure that it is not too serious."
And with that Toriel scavenges through the cabinets until she finally pulls out a thermometer meant for use on your forehead. She quickly takes your temperature and looks at the little screen and sighs.
"It says 101.3, are you sure you will be okay without me for a few days?"
You nod and plaster a half-hearted grin on your face and hope that Toriel is convinced that you will be just fine. She can be quite protective at times.
"Oh alright, I guess you will be fine. I will be sure to inform Sans and Papyrus that you are sick. Oh! I also forgot to mention that Sans replied to my text this morning and said it will be fine if you stayed over for a few days. Now go up to your room and pack. I will put some of these pancakes in a container to take with you in case you want to eat breakfast later."
You trudge upstairs into your bedroom, grab your suitcase, and start packing up your things.
-Time Skip-
You arrive at the skeleton brothers' house just a little after 1 in the afternoon. You get out of the car and slowly walk up to the door as Toriel carries your suitcase. You ring the doorbell and hear loud footsteps coming to the door. The door swings open and-
"GREETINGS, SMALL HUMAN AND TORIEL!" Papyrus practically yells, but thats just his normal voice.
"Hello, Papyrus. Thank you so much for keeping Frisk for me while I go to my meeting. It really means a lot. Is your brother home?" Toriel responds.
"YES, HE IS HOME, BUT HE IS JUST BEING HIS LAZY SELF AND HASN'T GOT OFF THE COUCH ALL DAY"
With those words, you see a boney hand giving a thumbs up from the couch. You can't see Sans at all, the back of the couch is covering him entirely because he's slouching so much.
"Well anyways, thank you for being able to watch Frisk again, but I must go, I do not want to miss the meeting. Bye Sans and Papyrus. And goodbye, my child." Toriel reaches down to give you a quick hug and kiss and hands your bag to Papyrus.
Papyrus sets your bag on the floor by the couch and sets off to go to his cooking lessons with Undyne, and probably catch the house on fire for the 8th time this year. You walk over to the couch very slowly and plop down next to Sans who is watching Mettaton's TV show. Mettaton has become quite the star ever since the barrier was broken and he got his own television show up on the surface. But Mettaton was always so busy now, that you hardly ever got to see him.
"sup kiddo. heard that you're sick. are you feeling any better?" Sans's voice breaks you out of your thoughts and you give him a thumbs down as a response, meaning that you weren't feeling better at all.
"oh, well, thats a shame. hope you feel better soon, kid."
Sans ruffles your hair, gets up off the couch and heads up into his room.
You pull your fluffy blanket out of your bag next to the couch. You curl up in it and continue to watch Mettaton's show. You feel your eyes getting heavier and heavier, and the next thing you know, you've fallen asleep.
A/N Sorry if the chapters aren't super long! I just don't have much time to write, and I said I would post tonight so I quickly made this chapter. Hopefully it's good enough to last you until the next chapter. Also, thank you guys so much for the follows, favorites, and reviews this has gotten! I just published this today, I didn't expect it to get so many follows and stuff that quickly. The next chapter should be out Tuesday or Wednesday. Probably Wednesday though, because I have a lot of homework on Tuesdays.
