We entered the bar owned by the famous Grillby, from what I've heard the placed had upgraded a bit. With a stage, and a larger building for more customers this isn't the first time I've been in here. Daisy had brought our little group here when we first arrived after the road trip from college. Some of the monsters looked up me and nodded, a few dogs braked happily at me remembering the times I gave them belly rubs.
"HANA!" Doggo barked, I'm pretty sure that he's blind
"Hey Doggo," petting his head softly "you know my name is Hannah, right?"
"Yes, isn't that what I'm calling you? Hana" he nodded taking a sip of his drink, my eyes narrowed at him as my lips pursed together. Why do they all do this! All the dogs in here call me 'Hana' how could they not pronounced my name? It's a simple name or is this how they say it in doge? From what I learned from Daisy, is that the dogs used to be a part of the royal guards back in the underground. Since there's no more need for the royal guards up here they'd been disbanded. That was until the dogs became cops, and this Undyne person became their Captain; they ended up calling the unit here 'The Royal Guards'.
"So you've been here before?" Sans's voice brought me back to reality
"Um…yea this was the first place I've been to, when the gang arrived" I slightly shrugged as I took a seat at the bar next to the brothers. Glancing over at the two seeing that they must had already ordered something while I was talking to the dogs. Papyrus and dining on …wait…is that fried spaghetti? While Sans was chugging a bottle of ketchup…why?
My hand ghosted over my stomach I was rather hungry, licking my dry lips and waited for Grillby to take my order. Once the fire monster had
given me his full attention I order a burger and a drink. Leaning against the counter I glanced back at the skeleton brothers, noticing that Papyrus was no longer sitting with us, scanning the crowd I spotted him with the police dogs. A smile tugged at my lips seeing how energetic the tall skeleton was, he was the skeleton version of the Duracell bunny, chuckling slightly I turned back to Sans.
"So why are ya here?" he asked bluntly taking me off guard, my brow furrowed together before relaxing. This is a monster town they probably don't see humans that often, due to humans being scared of anything that's not like them.
"Moving, just recently bought a house here" I replied as Grillby returned with my food, thanking the monster I continued "my friends are also moving in with me, the house is ours but…" my lips pressed into a thin line as my left eye twitched in annoyance "that old man won't give me the damn keys!"
"Oh" Sans seemed actually surprised to hear my reasoning "that's why you're at the rabbit's inn" I nodded.
"That man" a growl passed my lips "he's doing everything in his power to try and stop this move" my fingers drummed on the table. "Saying 'young pretty thangs like you, don't know what yer getting yourselves into' or something like 'this place is filled with monster yer know' just fuck off and give me the damn keys" just thinking about that asstard made my blood boil.
"Chill" Sans reached over and placed his hand on my shoulder giving it a light squeeze, causing a bit of heat to raise to my face once more "he's just givin' ya a hard time" another squeeze "he'll give ya, your keys". I couldn't help but to smile as he said those words, Sans was alright in my book.
"Thank you Sa-AHH!" an undignified yelp passed my lips as a pair of cold calmly hands were placed over my face.
"Guess who~" a high pitched voice came in contact with my ears causing them to ring. Oh I knew who this was it could only be one person.
"Maddie?" I asked well more stated, hearing a soft groan the hands left my eyes. Turning around on my stool to face Maddie. Maddie had a small and petite frame making her look like a young boy at times. She was shorter than me, but seeing that sans is about an inch taller than her. Still made her the shortest, full grown person I've ever meet.
Her skin was so pale that if you placed her in snow she would disappeared fully, it wasn't for her shoulder length dark brown hair. A week before we left she got an undercut. She wanted it for a while now, but was waiting for the weather to warm up. In short Maddie looked like a Hispanic porcelain doll.
"Correct~" she smiled "funny seeing you here, Pan-pan" I shrugged while shielding my food from her line of vision.
"Oh, really we I came here with friends!" motioning over to Sans "he asked me out for a bite to eat, the tall skeleton is his brother" pointing at Papyrus. Having a feeling that Maddie and Pap would get along just fine in the future.
"Oh it's nice to meet a friend of Pan-pan's" she held out her hand, once Sans took her hand a wet fart noise erupted.
"T-THAT WASN'T ME!" She gasped while Sans laughed I could hear his bone rattling under his clothes. I covered my mouth to stop my laugher, god that was so cheesy.
"Ah, the old whoopee cushion on the hand trick" he laughed louder wait, how come he never played that trick on me?
"You're horrible" Maddie covered her pink face with her hands, even though she had insulted Sans we could hear her giggling. I didn't even realized that Maddie was having her filthy way with my burger until it was too late. Damn ass inhaled my burger, I caught her in the act of stuffing the last piecing into her mouth and swallowing! She didn't even try to chew, if she was Pokémon she would be a fucking Gulpin.
"The fuck…yer sure that's a human…" I heard Sans whispered to himself, being pretty sure I wasn't supposed to hear that.
"Damn that hit the spot" Maddie hummed before calling Grillby "my good man~ I like two of your finest burgers and a pair of fries". My eyes widen is she ordering more food! One of those better be mine, she owes me!
"Man I know I couldn't stomach all of that food" Sans's voice cut through the air, blinking I looked over him. He's a skeleton, nothing but bones he shouldn't have a stomach…then it hit me it's a joke! A small giggle passed my lips.
"Oh I tickled yer funny bone did, I?" he continued, the skeleton's grin widen as the lights in his eye sockets got brighter "I'm glad you find me humerus". That was it, my giggles turned into a full blown laughter tears threatening run down my face.
"I would be telling a fibula, I didn't" I tried my hand at skeleton puns soon after that he joined me.
"SANS! STOP PLAGUING MY LIFE WITH INCIDENTAL PUNS!" he then looked over at me "YOU TOO PLUMP HUMAN!". How did he even hear us from that far and over the loud ruckuses in here?
"Welp, it's been fun, kid" Sans pat my hair before getting up, "see ya around" I watched as he and his brother left the bar.
Turning back to the table I noticed a plate of fries in front of me, Maddie? Glancing over at her seeing that she was gouging on her pile of food both fries still there. Picking up a fry I nibbled on it. Spotting a napkin next to the plate out of curiously I picked it up, it was a number 'Call me later- Sans', oh. Stuffing the napkin in my pocket, I looked over at Maddie who was giving a shit eating grin, fuck.
.
It's been a few days since Grillby's it took a lot of courage to actually call Sans, to tell the truth I didn't call him…I texted him. He didn't seem to mind really, he was just glad I contacted him. Damn Sans was a chill guy, he was that random texter. The ones that would send you things out nowhere. He would mostly send me puns and memes but sometimes it would be more profound like how he's still amazed by the change of night to day, and things like weather.
Other than Sans and I becoming fast friends, I finally got the keys from that grumpy piece of shit of an old man. All I needed to do was to say the magic word 'lawyer'. This means that we can move in this weekend, frick yea! That and I have a mighty need to change the locks when we move in. Grinning ear to ear I turned the corner nearing the school that was a combination of an elementary/middle school.
What is that, a kid? My heart fluttered in my chest it's a human child! I could feel my smile widening as I neared the child. Slowing down once I neared the child, they looked no older than nine or ten. They donned a striped shirt their hair cut in a bob fashion, oh god they look so f-ing cute.
"Hello there" trying to make my voice sound friendly and not like a creepy woman, "what are you doing here all alone?"
They looked over at me with the most adorable expression ever, eyes closed mouth partly opened "my mom is still in school," they replied.
"O-Oh" looking around I noticed the nearby bench "maybe we should sit…and wait for her?" I didn't feel right leaving the kid here alone. Nodding they followed me over to the bench, soon after they explained to me that their name was Frisk, and they was a 'he'. Huh, I won't had noticed, Frisk looked like he could pass as either. He also told me that their mother worked at the school as a teacher, and was having a meeting. I looked over at the school, why was he out here couldn't he had stayed in the school?
They kept sneaking looks at me every now and then probably thinking that I wasn't paying attention. When I would look at him catching him in the act, the kid would just look away and act like he wasn't even eyeing me.
"What's your name?" he shifted his body towards mine and finally asked
"Hannah, but you can call me 'panda' or 'pan-pan'", for some odd reason I could see his eyes sparkle in awe with and recognition. Scooting closer to get a better look at me, a small smile spread across his lips.
"FRISK! MY CHILD!" a loud motherly voice came from the gate that must be his mum…for obvious reasons. Getting up we both turned to face, a larger goat monster. To say I was scared wouldn't be a lie, this monster towered over my already short stature. Did I piss my pants yet? Nope? Okay I'm good. I watched Frisked hugged his mother tightly before pointing at me, and whispering a few things in one of her ear. What the hell are you telling her? She smiled warmly at me and nodded.
"Frisk told me that you kept them company" her voice was so warm and inviting, it made her feel a lot more welcoming than earlier.
"O-oh…um…y-yes" shit why did I stuttered "I saw them alone…a-and well I stayed a bit"
"How about you join us for dinner" she paused for a moment "tomorrow" that sounded like more like a statement than a question.
"I-I can't possibly! Besides I-I…have f-friends" my face heated up at the question (?) it's not like I don't want to join her for dinner. More like I just met this wonderful monster woman and she's already treating me like an old friend.
"Bring them along!" she wasn't going to take no as an answer "it's more like a small get together of friends" she added, like that was going to make me feel better.
"Um…okay…but don't make dessert!" she gave me a confused look "I-I'll make it…I-I mean…I would like to…" her warm smile returned. Soon after we exchanged phone numbers, so she could text me her address later. Well shit, I just made dinner plans with a goat monster not to mention she has a cute child.
