Authors Note: Chapter Two! Hell yeah! I'm pretty happy with how this chapter turned out!

Work this week went by slowly and monotonously, but you took it day by day. Asclepius was fidgeting and walking around the apartment obviously unable to keep still. You had been busy working on your laptop but he kept bumping against you to get your attention. sighing you push the laptop away and quirk your eyebrow at him "What dude?" he snorts and walks to the door, you get the hint and stand wobbling a little and he moves back to you using his scruff to steady yourself you move to grab his things. "Fine, well go to the park" at these words he perks up and begins to whine. It had been a while since you had gone to the park, and even though it was getting late you figured there would be plenty of other owners there with their pups. Loading on his gear for the walk there you grab your phone and start out the door. Throughout the walk you think about your recent events with the skeleton Sans, and while you hadn't seen him the entire week you couldn't help but think about him. How long had he lived here? You'd never seen him around before but that didn't matter much. You weren't really outgoing and you didn't have any friends, so it made sense.

Focusing back on your walk you turn down the road to the park and sigh, you didn't know why but you'd hoped to see the skeleton again soon, maybe it was the promise of friendship? why could you feel like you could get along with him so easily? maybe because of the light air around him, or his horrible puns. You decide you'll think about it later as you take Asclepius' gear off and let him run into the open field, only a few other dogs are there but it's enough to have the dog excitedly poking around to play. You make your way over to a nearby bench and sit and watch him play. It was nice to be able to just relax this weekend after last weekend's fiasco. You pull out your phone and scroll through your social media, not much going on. After an hour of sitting there blandly searching through your twitter and tumblr you sigh and call Asclepius back, the park is empty by now anyway and the sun has gone down completely.

"We're gonna grab a bite to eat kay? I'm famished" You stand and make your way out of the park, returning to the streets and making your way to the closest place with food. "Grillby's" is lit up with bright neon lights and while it's kind of a bar you don't really mind. They would still let you eat. You enter and make your way up to the bar and ask for a menu, scanning over it absentmindedly you jump when you hear a familiar voice "Didn't think this tibia your type of place" you swirl around and are greeted by a smirking Sans sitting on a bar stool head on his palm watching you and sipping a bottle of...ketchup? you don't know which you're laughing at but you're laughing and his smile brightens a little. "Whoops, didn't mean to be humerus, kid" he stands and walks with you to a booth where you sit across from each other. "I just stopped in for a bite to eat" you shake your head and smile at his last joke. " 'S good food" he says as he swallows more ketchup and then eyes you. "Is...is that actually a bottle of ketchup" you ask quietly and tilt your head. He snorts and nods "It's good, like I said" You shake your head more and look back at your menu, but catch yourself peeking over it to look at him more than you're actually reading it. He catches your eye and you see his white pupils light up more "What looks good?" He asks casually, and your face reddens as you realize you've hardly read the first thing on the menu "U-uh the chicken sandwich sounds pretty good" you stutter out and he nods "I'll give you a HEN-t if grillby makes it, it's good". You stare at him before erupting into laughter, "T-that was awful" you say between laughs and set your menu down, deciding that yes, you will have the chicken sandwich. Your eyes scan around for a waiter but you don't flag one down, you can feel the anxiety rising and shift uncomfortably "You good?" Sans asks casually, you nod but still look uncomfortable. Sans watches you scan for waiters again before raising his arm, immediately a waiter sees him and makes his way over "What can I get you Sans?" he smiles politely at the skeleton. You clear your throat, going over your order a million times in your head

"A number four for the kid Tom, if you would" The waiter writes it down "And what to drink?" Sans looks at you and you chew your lip "Justa soda" he answers, the writer says he'll be right back and walks away briskly. A deep sigh leaves you and you drop your head to the table "I am so sorry...I thought I was getting better at this" you whine a little and sit up more. Sans brushes it off, doesn't even ask any questions. He's literally been so nice to you since the two of you met. "Thank you for like the millionth time" you mutter and avoid his eyes "Ay, it's really no problem, as long as you don't chicken out and leave before he gets back" Sans winks at you and you can't help but giggle. The two of you talk some while you eat, the food tingles and warms you, your mood lifting and you sigh happily with a fully stomach. When you finish you pull out your wallet "Nah, let me worry about it" he says easily and sighs "It's getting late, you gonna head home?" He asks and you go to make an argument, but it falls on your tongue, and you decide to just leave a nice tip instead. "Uh yeah, I need to feed Asclepius" He nods and smirks "After the Greek God of Medicine huh?" You smile at this, nobody really got the name so you're a little surprised that he does. "Yeah actually, nobody ever knows what he's named after" Sans nods and starts to stand "It's really late, let me walk you home" He smiles at you, and you again want to protest but decide against it.

You didn't realize how tired you were, but with your constant wobbling you find yourself grabbing onto asclepius' handle harder and supporting yourself on it more. "Ah...sorry I'm so slow, legs aren't that great" you apologize to Sans and he shrugs "Don't mind, I'm slow too" He looks over at you and down at your legs. They're kind of shaky and he wants to ask, but doesn't, and you can see the question swimming around in his eyes. "It's just shitty balance" you say quietly "Bumped my head a little too hard when I was little" You smile at him, and he doesn't say anything at first, but he looks up at you "Heh, I'll cut you off next time I feel like you've had too much" the joke has you laughing "I'm too young to even drink Sans" it's your turn to smirk at him as he looks at you with confusion "I'm only twenty, but my birthday is coming up soon so!" you exclaim sort of happily. "Why are graveyards so noisy" He asks out of nowhere "What? where did that-" you stare at him and he cuts you off "Cuza all the coffin" your face falls flat before you burst into laughter. "THAT was awful" you shake your head at the skeleton and stop in front of your apartment "I thought it was BONEtastic" he responds and stops as well. You chuckle and turn to look at the steps "This is my stop" you say somewhat sadly "Thanks for riding the Bonetrain" he says with a wink and this immediately lightens the mood, you guffaw at this and he brightens a little more "Thank you for walking me home, hope it wasn't too out of the way for you" you smile shyly at the skeleton and he shakes his head "Nah, have a good night Sly" he says before turning. You watch him start to walk away before squirming "S-SANS!" You call after him and he stops and turns to look back at you, you fidget in place while fishing out your cellphone and hold it up some, you have no idea how to ask for his phone number. He walks back up to you and takes it without a word and types in his number before handing it back to you. You smile a little and thank him before quickly pushing your way into your apartment and staring at your phone. " " contact saved...

"What did the Skeleton say to his dog?" you type out and send to the number Sans had given to you. You had settled into bed and had written the text out a hundred times since you had gotten home and hour ago. Finally just working up the courage to hit send. "What?" the reply was almost instant, "Bone Appetit" you giggled at your own joke and hit send. "Wow that was bad" again this response was immediate, you smiled and shook your head "Goodnight Sansy"..."Goodnight Sly ;P" you chuckled at his emoji and sighed as you set your phone on the charger and turned over. You felt weird but happy after the day you had, had. Sans was funny and...charming? In his own way. He was the closest thing to a friend you had had in a while, and it felt nice. Tomorrow was Sunday which meant you had an entire day to just goof off.

When you awoke the next morning you sighed, snuggling into the warm bright blue blanket,and turned over to check your phone, deciding to send a good morning text to the skeleton you fidget. You fingers hesitated over the send button, but you quickly hit it before thinking about it too much "Goodmorning!" you don't have to wait too long for a reply as you poor your cup of coffee and let Asclepius out to the bathroom. "Mornin' Sleepybones" you chuckle at his response. "What do you have planned today?" you ask him and start to move things around in your apartment. It's not large but it isn't tiny either, with a nice sized living room. Your couch is near the sliding glass door leading to the small back yard with your tv mounted to the wall and the gaming system right underneath. A heavy coffee table in between. A fireplace is to the left of it, but it was hardly used. Maybe you'd use it since it was getting cold outside. To the right was a small dining room, separated only by the change from tan carpet to wooden floors, which continued down the hall and into the kitchen. The kitchen and backyard had really been the selling point to this place. A large bar separates the dining room and kitchen, it had a few stools against it. The stove and fridge were relatively nice and you had enough counterspace to cook like you enjoyed doing. Down the hall was the bathroom to the left and a spare bedroom to the right. Straight down the hall was the door to your room, it had a bathroom in it as well, which you rather enjoyed. Your king size bed sat against the wall and was covered in brightly colored sheets. A dresser was against the wall and you still had plenty of floorspace but didn't know what to fill it with. The entire place had cream walls which were pretty boring, you didn't have any pictures up or anything. "Nothing fun, what about you?" He responds and you smile "Probably just gonna clean up the apartment, nothing else to do, I don't have work today". When you finally finish cleaning you turn on the tv and sit. "Sounds lame" He must be at work, this reply took a lot longer to come in. "Are you at work? Where do you even work?" You hadn't asked him and were rather curious. "Around, mostly bars and burger joints" He worked at more than one place? Interesting "Wow you have lots of jobs?" you ask and the reply was instant, probably on a break. "Just three, still don't have that many hours though"

You and Sans text back and forth throughout the day, the sun has gone down and you're curled up on the couch in a blanket. Asclepius is curled up on his bed chewing on a bone. All that's on tv seems to be halloween movies, which you don't mind at all. The back door is slightly cracked letting the chill October air flow in. You loved the colder months, it meant being able to snuggle up and not die from heat. You haven't heard from Sans in a couple hours but when your phone dings you pick it up a little too quickly. "You Busy?" you frown at that, of course not, but why would he ask? "Not at all" you respond back it only takes a second for him to respond "Wanna hang out? I could come over and we could watch a movie" You stare at the screen baffled and try to think of a response. Your house is clean, so you had no reason for him to not come over, but it made you feel a bit weird. Were you guys friends enough to hang out at each others houses? Not that friends didn't do that all the time, but it still made you nervous. "Yeah sure, you know the address?" you stand to go get dressed but before you can even make it to your room a knock on the door has Asclepius standing in front of it and looking at you. You frown at your clothes, a pair of fuzzy black pajama pants with skulls on them, and a black tee with the Beast from Beauty and the Beast. You move to the door and flush a little. Opening the door Sans is standing there in his usual white tee, blue fuzzy jacket, and black gym shorts. He's also wearing fuzzy pink slippers instead of his usual slip ons. "You got here fast" He smirks at your remark and looks you over "Nice pants" is all he says and you move to the side to let him in nervously fidgeting. "I wasn't expecting you to be here so soon, I was just going to change" He laughs at this and smiles at you, he was always smiling, it made you happy to have someone so positive around. "So what do you want to watch?" You ask him moving over to the couch and sitting somewhat uncomfortably. He joins you and lets out a loud sigh, happily sinking into the cushions "Whatever you'd like to?" He says and his eyes slide over to you. You sit back and wrap your blanket around you "Well I was just watching some halloween movies, they're my favorite" He smirks at this and snorts "Didn't take you to be the type to like scary stuff" You smile over at him "Horror movies are my jam, uh if you're hungry I could order some pizza too?" you turn to the tv and smile as "The Corpse Bride" comes on "Starving, actually, cantcha see I'm nothin' but bones" you turn to him and stare at his face..skull? Trying really hard to not laugh at his joke he smiles wider and his eyes light up a little more. "Got it, I'll order now" you say with a soft laugh.

The two of you watch through the movie and the pizza arrives. "Finally" you say jumping up to go collect it. Sans stands and grabs the pizza before you can even touch it and you frown at him "Hey I had that" you pay the delivery driver and close the door. "It's bonekay I got it" he says setting it on the table. "That hardly made sense!" He smirks at you and laugh even though it was an awful joke. The two of you finish the pizza and start another movie, but half way through it you can feel yourself start to nod off. A gentle nudge has you startling awake "Hey kid, you should get to bed, I'm gonna head out" he tells you with a soft look in his eyes you straighten up at his words and groan, rubbing your eyes. "No s'okay I'm up" He shakes his head and stands "You need your BEAUTY sleep" he huffs out, apparently pleased with his joke about your shirt. "Ha-ha very funny" you say standing and leading him to the door, he smirks and follows you "I'll see you around kiddo" he says and steps out "Night " you say, he has that soft look on his face again...somehow? And nods "Night sleeping beauty" he quips "See ya soon" you laugh "Yeah of course!" and slowly close the door watching him walk away….Sans had been kind of quiet today, maybe he was just tired from work?
