"And that's why I don't wish to give her up... There was a reason that woman jumped off of the mountain." Toriel finished, Sans nodded a bit and looked up at his brother's bedroom. "Now..." Toriel stood up from the couch. "There is something I must do. I hope it isn't too much that I ask you to watch Frisk for a little while?" Toriel asked.
"Nah, I'm good with kids. What are you goating to do?" Sans asked, Toriel snickered at that and just shook her head. She then looked seldom before saying,
"I'm going to back to the ruins. I have to see the damage done, and...I have to see if they broke free or not."
"Wait. It's dangerous. You shouldn't go alone, why don't we call Undyne or-"
She shook her head silencing him.
"I cannot wait on this, if they broke free, the guards need to be noted right away."
"Trust me, big humans stomping around with weapons, the guards will be noted pretty quickly on that."
"I'm sorry. I need to see for myself, plus, my home is in the ruins, I need to see the damage. I will not be gone long. I promise. Just keep an eye socket on Frisk for me." She winked at him, causing Sans to blush once again. She was about to walk out, but stopped and took out her phone.
"Here, lets exchange numbers. I'll call you if anything is happening." She told him, taking out his own phone they swapped numbers and Toriel went on her way. Sans leaned back into the couch and smiled, looking at the number, blushing deeply. With a smile, he leaned back against the couch and held his phone close to his chest. Stretching out on the couch, Sans felt his eyes slowly shut and before he knew it, he was asleep.
He was awaken by the door slamming shut.
"GAH! LAZYBONES!" His brother, Papyrus shouted, this caused the smaller skeleton to fall off the couch.
"Pap! What are you doing home so early?!" Sans asked startled.
"YOU WEREN'T AT YOUR STATION! NOT ONLY THAT BUT I REALIZED I LEFT MY SCARF AT HOME!"
Papyrus started up the steps towards his room, Sans, remembering where the kid was, teleported in front of the door, making his brother jump.
"Why don't I get it for you?" Sans suggested, sweating nervously, Papyrus just scratched his head.
"NONSENSE! I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS CAN GET MY OWN SCARF, BUT THANKS." With a gentle push out of the way, Papyrus opened the door, Sans held his breath, but was shocked to find the room empty, the only thing proving that someone was in here was the blanket left on the bed.
"SANS! WHERE YOU SLEEPING IN MY BED AGAIN?!" Papyrus demanded, grabbing the blanket off of his bed.
Sweating even more nervously, Sans just looked around the room and his brother, there was no sign of a child anywhere.
"Uhhh...Yeah, that was me. Look I even brought my own blanket so I didn't mess up yours." Sans chuckled. Papyrus just frowned and looked at the empty space on the bed.
"DID YOU MOVE MY SCARF TOO? I KNOW I LEFT IT ON MY BED THIS MORNING!"
"You know me, always scarfing around and such!" Sans chuckled, earning a glare from his brother.
"NOW IS NOT THE TIME FOR YOUR JOKES! SANS I NEED THAT SCARF TO LOOK TOUGH!...DID YOU TAKE MY SPARE BOOTS AS WELL!?" Papyrus screeched. Sans just looked side to side, sweating even more now.
"Uhhh... Maybe...I think...I left them in the kitchen for you..." Sans made up, Papyrus let out a bitter grumble and stormed passed his brother, once gone, Sans ran to the closet and opened the door, no child.
"Kid..." Sans whispered getting on his knees he looked under the bed. "Pst...Pst. Herrrree Kiddie, kiddie..." He beckoned.
"SANNNNNNSSSS!" Papyrus screamed from the kitchen, Sans stood up, a feeling of dread following him as he slowly walked towards the kitchen, Papyrus was in front of the door, hands on his head, looking well, Sans couldn't tell if his brother was scared or...Happy? Looking into the kitchen, he saw what his brother was looking at and just laughed, he was almost on the floor at the sight.
Frisk was sitting on the floor, a tub of Papyrus's spaghetti between their legs, they had on Papyrus's spare boots, on the wrong feet, but hey, along with a too big night gown that was practically falling off of them, and they had Papyrus's scarf wrapped sloppily around their neck. That wasn't the funniest part. The funniest part was they where eating Papyrus's spaghetti by the hand full, smearing it all over their face and hands as they happily ate. They seemed so indifferent to the whole situation. The child noticed that she was being watched and looked at the two skeleton brothers, looking them in the eye sockets as they ate.
"Oh...haha...God.." Sans breathed out, trying to catch his breath.
"Sans...There is a human...eating my spaghetti and wearing my clothes..." Papyrus said in a surprisingly calm voice. Sans just laughed a bit more.
"Spahetti taste good." The child said not probably saying it correctly.
"They must really like you, bro." Sans chuckled heavily, standing up. Frisk finally got up from the floor, face and hands still smeared with spaghetti sauce and noodles. They wobbled awkwardly towards Papyrus, Papyrus put a foot back but didn't quite step back, Frisk wobbled a bit to the side, she quickly grabbed a hold of one of Papyrus's left leg.
"AHHHHHHH!" Papyrus screamed, he lifted his left leg in the air, the child was persistent and wrapped their legs around Papyrus's leg, giggling wildly as the skeleton was now hopping around trying to kick the child off. Sans would of helped but he was busy laughing way to hard to do anything useful.
"SANS! DO SOMETHING!" Papyrus screeched like a wild animal, Sans could hear the child giggle wildly at this. Papyrus's foot hit the edge of the rug and he suddenly fell back. San's used his magic to grab Frisk before they would slam their face into Papyrus's tibia. Frisk was floating in the air now, the child was laughing loudly again ushering Frisk towards him, Sans let them go into his arms.
"Falling for me and my brother I see." Sans chuckled.
"SANS! THAT'S A HUMAN!" Papyrus screamed sitting up on the floor. Sans walked to the restroom and turned the sink on. Grabbing a towel and soaking it, he started to wash the child's face and hands off.
"You just now noticed?" Sans chuckled.
"SANS THIS IS SERIOUS! WHAT IS IT DOING HERE!"
"It's a long story, Pap, but trust me, she won't be in our care for too much longer."
Papyrus sighed out,
"OH GOOD YOU CALLED UNDYNE, THEN!"
Sans started to sweat again and just looked at his brother out of the corner of his eyes.
"N-No not really..." Sans mumbled as he finished cleaning the child off.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN, 'NOT REALLY?'" Papyrus demanded scratching his head.
"Someone will pick her up. Not Undyne, but someone else." Sans half lied Frisk giggled and ran back up to Papyrus, hugging the taller skeleton's knees. Papyrus looked like he might start running away again, but, he didn't. Papyrus just stared down at the small human, before gently patting her head. The child then took the scarf off and, at first, tried to wrap it around Papyrus's neck, but, the moment Frisk realized she couldn't reach that high, she just settled for tying it around his waist.
"UH, THANK YOU...HUMAN..." Papyrus mumbled awkwardly before untying it and actually putting it around his neck. Frisk smiled at him before letting go of him. She walked awkwardly away, tripping over Papyrus's giant boots on her feet. She almost fell, but, Papyrus, for once being quicker than his brother, grabbed her and picked her up. He had her to his eye level, she just laughed and giggled at him.
"SHE IS VERY TINY!" Papyrus observed. The girl leaned in and pecked Papyrus on the head, the skeleton blushed and almost dropped the tiny human.
"Told you bro. She likes you. Maybe, if you ask her, she might even be your friend." Sans urged, Papyrus looked split, then he shook his head and put the child down on the couch.
"SHE'S THE ENEMY!"
"Bro. Does that look like something that can kill you?" Sans asked, Papyrus look back at Frisk, the child now sucking on her thumb.
Papyrus just frowned, before he could bring up another point, the door opened.
"I'm sorry, that took longer than expected." Came Toriel's voice, she walked up to the two of them, some bags in her arms. Sans looked away as Papyrus just tiled his head. Frisk crawled off the couch and ran to Toriel, almost tripping on the boots.
"Oh my child. I see you found some shoes." Toriel laughed and picked Frisk up, placing the toddler on her hip. "Oh, but they are rather big." She laughed.
"SANS! DID THE KING SHAVE HIMSELF?" Papyrus asked confused by this woman.
"Oh. You must be Papyrus! You're brother is very...Humerus." Toriel snickered and Papyrus just pointed at her.
"NOT ANOTHER ONE! I WILL NOT TAKE ANYMORE PUNS THAT I HAVE TO!"
"Doesn't that just rattle your bones?" Sans asked, earning a scream from Papyrus. Turning away from his brother, who was now busy having a mental breakdown, and looked over at Toriel.
"Tori. What happened? Did the humans break free?" Sans asked, that got Papyrus's attention he looked at them and asked,
"WHAT?! MORE HUMANS?!"
Toriel looked down and just sighed.
"Thankfully, they didn't, my house, it was destroyed when I got there, but the humans were gone. They...Left me this." She reached into her pocket and pulled out a note and handed it to Sans to read. It only had four words.
WE WILL BE BACK.
Ok, before you tell me "Papyrus's spaghetti is suppose to be bad!" Understand, three year olds eat anything...ANYTHING and call it good. When my niece was three she poured ketchup in her milk and said it was yummy.
