You finally get to see the Ruins.

You slowly pace up and down the room, stretching and testing your muscles. After only 2 weeks of bed rest and healing you were fulling healed. Toriels healing magic made quick work of a 2-3 month injury. It was down right amazing.

You grin and call "who's there?"

"Justin"

"Justin who?"

"Justin time for dinner."

You chuckle and open the door. Toriel stands outside with an excited expression on her face. A delicious smell wafts into the room and your stomach immediately growls. "Wow, Toriel that smells amazing."

"Come _!" she grabs your hand in her paw and excitedly leads you to the living room. Your eyes widen at the impressive spread laid out on the table. "I thought we could celebrate your recovery, so I made a little extra today!"

"Hell yes!" You excitedly grab a plate and put some of everything on it before sitting down across from her. Toriel does the same and then watches you intently. You start eating and groan in pleasure. Everything Toriel makes is DIVINE. "You need to marry me Tori." you state between bites "I need your cooking in my life forever."

Toriel blushes cutely and titters. "Oh you wouldn't want to marry an old woman like me. Besides, I can cook for you whenever you like."

Toriel's gotten used to your casual flirting, but still can't help flushing whenever you do it. It's amazing and you made it a goal to fluster her at least once a day.

"Oh? I thought you were trying to seduce me this whole time." You grin at her surprised reaction. "Everyone knows the quickest way to a persons heart is through their stomach." You finish with a wink.

Her face takes on an even brighter shade of pink before she laughs. You join her and the rest of the conversation is filled with small talk, jokes, and bad puns. You were pleasantly surprised at her penchant for bad comedy when you discovered it. Whenever she came in for a healing session should always bring a joke or two to brighten your spirits. Of course starting with a knock knock joke. She never ran out of material for knock knock jokes.

After you and Toriel finish washing up the dishes and storing any left overs she asks if you'd like to go for a walk. The farthest outside of the house you've gone so far was a withered old tree outside her house. She would help you out and you'd relax against the bark. You've been feeling quite claustrophobic since falling down and getting out of the room every once in a while was necessary. Not that outside was much better but it alleviated it somewhat.

One day Toriel returned the clothes you fell in completely repaired and not a blood stain in sight. You changed into them before meeting her at the front door.

"Are you ready to go _?" She asked.

"Definitely! I've been wanting to see more of this place for a week now!"

The day was spent being guided through the ruins. She explained monsters fascination with puzzles and tries to teach you how they worked but you were adamant about figuring it out yourself. It wasn't particularly hard but if you ever got stuck there'd be a sign to give you a hint none to far. Occasionally, a froggit or a loox would come near and Toriel would introduce you. You saw a few whimsun's as well but they were awfully shy. One day, you swore, one day you would make friends with a whimsun. On the way back home you bought pastries at a spider bake sale. You were pleasantly surprised with how good it was. It took Toriel a lot of convincing when you learned they were made with actual spiders.

When you got home Toriel let you know that if you wanted to you could wander the ruins whenever you like from then on, just tell her before you go out. You were touched by her trust. You knew she was not giving it easily. Humans killed so many of her people and locked them in the dark for so long. Yet here she was, healing you, trusting you, and giving you a place in her home. You've never met someone so caring and loving on the surface. All the monsters down here so far are just so much BETTER than humans. Toriel said before that monsters SOULs are made of love, hope and compassion. At first you scoffed at the idea, knowing only human greed and corruption, but Toriel truly lived by that. Even the other monsters you met today were kind to you once they learned you were not a threat.

You could see yourself taking up Toriel's offer to live with her in the Underground.

It's been two weeks since this loop started and to say Sans was confused would be an understatement. Frisk never took this long in the Ruins. They always came out 2nd day of the loop like clockwork. He almost felt hope, maybe this was the last one, maybe they were never coming back. He crushed that rising hope pretty quickly though. Maybe this was just Frisk's new way of fucking with him.

The third day of the loop found him pacing in front of the ruins door. He was nervous. In a few minutes Toriel should be coming to the door to trade jokes with him. Should he ask if any humans fell? What if she didn't come? Did the kid killer her in this timeline too? He growled angrily and tried to shut up the intrusive thoughts. He'd get his answers soon. All he has to do is wait. He flopped down on the stone steps and leaned back against the doors. 2 hours later Papyrus found him sitting there still waiting...but nobody came.

He made it routine after that day to sit at the doors for half an hour waiting on his knock knock buddy. Part of him knew it was pointless, but he couldn't shake the feeling that there's more to it than that. 3 weeks later he heard a familiar knock on the door. He nearly cried out in relief. Tori was still alive! Maybe this run wasn't going to be a bad one. He calmed himself and stood facing the door.

"Who's there?"

Haha, Whoops ^^; This chapter took a long time to write, and its so bloody short too! Sorry about that. I'll be posting another chapter later today to make up for the large break.
