You felt like you two were walking for ages, not really knowing where you were going as you followed the shorter skeleton next to you. His hands shoved in the pockets of his jacket, his eye sockets slighty shut as he seemed to be enjoying the day. "So, what in the world is 'nice-cream'?" "oh, I guess you humans call it 'ice-cream'. It's not really any different, guess you'll just have to wait and let it be a 'ice' surprise." "Yes, oh 'Pun Master', I shall be patient…," you chuckled and rolled your eyes. "Hm, Pun-Master, now THAT'S 'humerous'!"
Sans turned the corner to your right, you following suit. Once around the building's edge, you saw what appeared to be a venders cart about 2 feet in front of you. You looked to the figure that was standing at the cart, his back to the two of you as he was handing over items to two children on the other. The figure then turned to you and Sans and waved, "Hey there!" The vender was a tall blue bunny looking character, a red nose twitching slightly with his friendly smile. He wore a yellow t-shirt under a pair of red overalls. Looking at his feet, you noticed no shoes, but I guess they haven't made shoes that big for such large rabbit feet, eh?
"Hey buddy, we'll take two 'nice-creams' to go!," you heard Sans say as he was up at the cart holding two bills out the vendor. "Coming right up!," he reached into the opening of the cart, moments later pulling out two wrapped objects that looked like ice cream sandwich wrappers. You glanced at the side of the cart which in large bubble letters it read, "Nice Cream! Words of Encouragement on every wrapper!" "Here ya go! Enjoy!" Sans traded the bills for the treats and walked back over to you.
Sans extended his right arm to you with one of the wrapped frozen treats in it. You looked at it with curiousity, reaching your hand out to take it from Sans. "It ain't gonna 'frost bite' ya, kiddo," a chuckle following his pun. "Hm, very 'pun-ctual', Bone-Head." You both laughed as you studied the wrapper. There was nothing written on the package, it was completely blank. "How do you know what's really in here?" "Guess you're gonna have to unwrap it to find the surpr-'ice'"
You still weren't quite sure upon this treat, so you watched as Sans opened his. The wrapper pulled back to reveal a popsicle stick, but as Sans pulled it out, there was an oval shaped frozen treat on the end. It was orange in color and even had a slight smiley face on it. Sans held up the wrapper and chuckled, "d'awwwww aint that 'nice'…" You looked at his wrapper and saw what appeared to be an illustration of a hug, which wasn't there before. "Well isn't that just something else" You then tore the corner of your wrapper and peeled it down to reveal the stick of your treat. You pulled the treat out and to your surprise words appeared on the other side of the wrapper. "You look nice today!"
You held the wrapper out for Sans to see and he chuckled, "well, that ain't a 'fibula'! At least it tells the 'tooth'!" You couldn't help but laugh, covering your mouth as you felt yourself about to snort, but held it back. You then noticed Sans looking at your other hand where your treat was, so your eyes followed. There your treat was upon the popsicle stick, shaped like a rocket pop, but blue in color. You smiled brightly at it as you figured it would be blue-berry, one of your favorite flavors for popsicles. You brought it up to your lips and slid it in sucking on it softly. "Mmmmmmmm!" you pulled it out of your mouth quickly, "that's …that's really good!" you muffled out quickly as you slid the treat back into your mouth, letting your tongue drag across the ice cold flavored treat in your mouth.
"How's your treat, Sans?" that's when you looked and saw the shoerter skeleton staring at you with wide sockets, and, was that a deep blue blush on his cheek bones? "Sans…you alright? Hello? Earth to Captain Bone Head!" you waved a hand a few inches from his face finally getting a reaction. He practically fell backwards as he stuttered and tried to calm down. "oh…uhm…yeah…it's….fine….how's y-yours?" That's when you put two and two together, his blushing and stuttering with your actions upon the blue treat. Your eyes practically fell from your head as you blushed deep red, but a smirk appears on your blue tinted lips. "Oh, hmhm, does this bother you Sans?," you say as you drag your tongue across the flavored ice. His cheek bones are a deep sapphire as you can see he is almost trembling in the knee caps.
You could see the beads of sweat form down his skull as you finished off the treat, practically licking your fingers from the drips of juices that fell upon them. You tossed your trash in a near by trash-can and snickered. "Hey there buddy, your ice cream is melting…." You motioned to the dripping orange treat in Sans hand that he never even got to eat, half melted. "You might wanna eat that to 'cool' down there, Bone-Head." Sans blush was deflating a bit but he grumbled and quickly shoved the treat in his mouth. Within seconds, the treat was no longer on the stick and he chucked it into the trash can as well. "That was not nice at all, you little temptress…." "Pay back for the woopie cushion in the hand trick!" His blush vanishing as he then hunches over laughing, "oh man, ok I deserve that one! Haha! But come on! It never gets old!"
The two of you continue to walk around down-town shooting puns and small talk back and forth. Your thoughts wonder back to meeting Sans at the grocery store from one of your conversations. "Hey! You never did tell me how Papyrus' spaghetti and meat balls turned out. How did that go?" "Oh, well, Pap was really determined to get it just right, but I guess he cooked the meat balls too long. He was pretty down about it, even working 'pasta' bed time he tried to get it right, but never succeeded." You had a sad face appear as you looked at the ground, walking along-side the skeleton.
An idea struck you as you lifted your head up and stopped walking. "Ya know what? Lets make Papyrus Shelly's famous Spaghetti and Meatballs for when he gets home!" Sans stopped walking and looked at you with wide sockets. A slight look of shock on his face as he then let a smile grow wide on his face, "That's a 'guda' idea, I think Paps would enjoy that a lot." You smiled back and let a small giggle travel across your lightly blue tinted lips. "Well then lets go grab what we need and get cooking!" The two of you headed off towards the super market a couple blocks away. Upon entering the sliding doors, you looked at one another and figured out a plan, giving Sans the task of picking up the noodles and sauce, while you would grab the ingredients to make the meatballs and sauce.
The two of you working as a team, you were in and out in a flash. All the items paid for and placed in shopping bags, you two exit. Sans pulls out his phone and looks at the time. "We have about an hour and a half before Paps gets home." "My place will take forever to get there by walking, let alone getting back to my car." That's when Sans looked deep in thought. "Heh, I got an idea." He grabbed your free hand and pulled you close, "Hang on tight, don't let go…" "Sans…wha…!" There was a weird feeling in your stomach as you felt yourself being pulled and then pushed slightly. Your eyes closed at some point, but your hand never left Sans. Your eyes opened when you felt yourself standing on solid ground again, "….what just…." You looked to see yourself standing in front of an unfamiliar little house. "Yeah, welp, that was a bit of 'sans-ational' magic, you could say…"
You let go of his hand and stood there, letting your body get back to normal, your stomach settle as well. "Sorry bout that, takes some getting use to," he said patting your back softly, "welcome to our place, figured we got a kitchen too and all of Papyrus' extra cooking supplies. This work for ya?" You looked at the skeleton as he carried one bag of groceries and headed up the front porch. That's when you looked to the left of the door and saw a little wall mailbox with a scribbled 'P' and 'S' on the front of it. Shaking your head and coming back to reality, you looked at Sans and smiled. "Yeah! That'll work just fine! Lets get started!"
You were amazed at how well kept the house was, probably all of Papyrus' doing. It was a cute little house with the usual television and couch, recliner and rug in the living room. A, what appeared to be a dirty sock collection in the corner right by the kitchen door. There was a set up stairs going up to three doors, probably what you assumed to be the bedrooms and probably a bathroom. "Alright, kitchen is all yours, kiddo." You stepped into the kitchen and noticed all organized labels on practically everything. "I'll give you a heads up when Papyrus is on his way home, sound good buddy?" "Yup, sounds like a plan!" He turned to walk back to the living room and plopped down on the couch.
Cooking didn't take long with how organized papyrus was, finding your way around the kitchen was easy as 'pie'. You placed a lid over the pot of noodles and a lid over the pot of meatballs on the stove so they would stay warm. "What's cookin, good lookin…" you heard that voice behind you and turned from the stove to see Sans leaning on the door frame looking at his phone. He then looked up at you with a blush on his cheeks, yours blushing as well. "All done! Papyrus on his way?" Sans nodded and you heard a bing on his phone. "Yup, he just left, should be here in a few." That gave you enough time to set the table for the three of you. Once the final fork was placed, the door opened.
"SANS! I THE GREAT PAPYRUS PASSED MY FIRST DAY OF TRAINING!" you heard the tall skeleton exclaim to his brother who was on the couch once again. "Hehe, that's great bro. Congrats I'm proud of ya!" "I KNEW I COULD DO IT WITH BEING COMPLETELY FOCUSED AND AS A FAST LEARNER AS I AM, IT WAS AN EASY TASK! I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT DAY OF TRAININ….ING…." Papyrus sniffed the air and then looked wide eyed at Sans. "BROTHER…DI…DID YOU…COOK DINNER?!" Sans chuckled on the couch and then laughed a bit harder, "That's a good one bro, but uh, no that's not from me. Why don't you go take a look behind ya." You stood in the doorway of the kitchen with a smile, awaiting for the tall skeleton to turn around.
"HUMAN WAITRESS, _! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?! DID….DID YOU COOK?" You smiled and let out a giggle, seeing Sans standing now behind Papyrus with a shit eating grin on his face. "I heard your attempt at meatballs didn't go very well, so I thought I'd help you out by making you your very own batch, also to apparently celebrate you passing your first day!" You blinked once and then were being spun around by Papyrus. "YOU TRULY ARE A WONDERFUL HUMAN, _! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR KINDNESS WITH THE GREAT PAPYRUS AND HIS BROTHER!" You laughed as he put you back on your feet. "NOW! LET US ENJOY THIS WONDERFUL FEAST AS I SHARE WITH YOU TWO ABOUT MY DAY!"
It was practically 8pm when you all finished your meals. Papyrus insisted on washing the dishes but you insisted you being the one that dirtied them up that you would take care of them, sincei t was all your idea. "Come on Papyrus, lets get ready for bed, eh? Gotta pick out which book you want me to read ya too." "OOOOOH! YES!" Papyrus then hugged you once more and thanked you for what you did for him that day. "Not a problem, big guy! Sleep well! Enjoy your day tomorrow!"
Left overs put in the fridge and dishes in the drying rack, you wiped the sweat from your brow. You looked at the clock on the wall and it read 8:30PM. You wiped your hands on the drying towel by the stove then headed to the living room to grab your coat. As you placed your coat on your shoulders, you heard someone coming down the stairs. "Hey, wait up kiddo…" You looked to see Sans at the bottom of the steps now. "Hey Sans, Papyrus all tucked in?" "Yup, he was 'bone-tired'!" you two had to laugh softly but then calmed down. Sans walked over by you and slipped on his slippers that he removed earlier along with putting on his blue jacket. "Where you going?" "Walking you home, you did drive all the way from your place to the station, then walked around and practically clear across town with me."
You thought for a moment and realized you had done nothing but walk around town today, and you did leave your car at the station. With being practically teleported to the skelebros house, you had no idea how far away you really were from your house, let alone the station. "We're not that far from the station actually…..i could walk you to your car." "You don't need to do that Sans, I'm a big girl." "Nope, my mind has been made up, I'm walking ya to your car. Besides, ya don't know what kind of weirdos are walking around this late at night. Come on, lets go." He chuckled heading out the door with you tagging behind.
It was pretty dark outside, the sky was clear enough to see the stars atleast. You could catch Sans looking up at them from time to time. "They sure are pretty aren't they?," you said walking along side him looking up with him. "Yeah, always wanted to see them since we couldn't see stars in the Underground. It's amazing!" This made you smile ear to ear. He was practically captivated by the twinkling diamonds in the night. The star gazing was brought to a closure as you approached a familiar part of town, seeing your car on the other side of the street. "Well I guess you were right, not that far away at all!" Sans chuckled and crossed the street with you to your vehicle.
You were digging in your purse for your keys, clutching them tightly when you felt the familiar metal pieces. You unlocked the drivers side door as you two stood on the side walk next to your car. "Well, thank you Sans for walking me to my car. I really appreciate it. Also thanks for the Nice Cream today as well!" Sans smiled and just shook his head, "Nah, I should be thanking you. You sure made Papyrus happy with what you did. Haven't seen him that happy in a long time, and him being happy makes me happy." You noticed that light blue glow on his cheek bones again as you giggled. "Would you like a ride home instead of walking?" "Nah, I'll be good. Walk everywhere when I gotta go places. I'm use to it." You giggled again and without warning of what you did next to the skeleton. You leaned down just slightly, about 2 inches and placed a kiss upon his cheek bone.
The expression on his face was priceless. His cheeks turned that dark blue again, his eye sockets were wide and he just seemed to stare off into the distance. "Papyrus is really lucky to have such a caring brother as you Sans. Hope to see you around!," you said as you started to sit into the drivers seat.
"Hey….hold on a sec…." Sans said as he stepped over by you, his head aiming down to the side walk. "What's up bone-head?" He chuckled and brought his blushing skull back up to look at you with a cheesy grin. "I lost my phone number…..can I have yours?" You just stared at him for a moment before placing your face into the steering wheel and laughing, "Wow that was so cheesy, moldy cheese bad! Haha! But yeah, sure!" You swapped phones with him, entering your number and name into his and he doing the same of yours. Switching phones back and waving good bye one last time, you shut the door and started the car. You looked down at your phone seeing Sans had entered his name as "The Pun Master", then looking up to see Sans was gone from outside.
