Work went by normal today. Except for the fact that Sans and Asriel never came even if they told Rose that they would be there later today. She didn't think too much into it as she went outside and locked the back door. She was the last one that went outside the back door so she needed to lock it.

She wanted to go home as something or more like someone grabbed her from behind and dragged her back.

She tried to struggle but to no avail. Screaming didn't work either because someone was blocking her breathing. Her consciousness started to fade slowly. Soon everything went black.

Sans P.O.V (+ slight back skip)

Sans was on his way back home together with Asriel. He thought back to what Rose's parents talked to him.

At first, they were surprised the two of them were even in the house and asked why they were inside Rose's room. Sans remembered how nervous he felt as they stared him down at the beginning. He thought that they would be thrown out.

They weren't. It almost seemed as if Rose's parents knew everything about him and also knew that he had a slight crush on Rose. But they didn't tell him to stop seeing their daughter. They even encouraged him.

He thought back at how he woke up... it was a really nice feeling to wake up with Rose in his arms. He almost wanted to get used to it but sadly, he was sure that this won't happen again... at least not that soon...

He kind of wanted to be still there with Rose but... Papyrus could get really mad when Sans and Asriel aren't there on time to eat. And he didn't want Rose to go through his bad cooking... Which doesn't mean that Papyrus couldn't get better if he really tried to... It just meant that it wasn't really safe by now.

Asriel was glancing at Sans the whole walk home, which wasn't long since they almost lived next doors.

"Hey Sans?" he finally spoke up.

"yeah?" Asriel hesitated "... Why aren't you... teleporting?" he asked. Sans stared at him. He didn't think of the possibility that he just could teleport home. "hold on azzy," he said him and teleported into their living room where he was greeted by a shouting Papyrus.

"SANS! HOW OFTEN DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU NOT TO BE LAZY AND JUST WALK!" Papyrus sure could be aggressive Sans didn't respond, which only seemed to enrage Papyrus more. He now shouted something about Sans shouldn't ignore him like that and he should let go of that unnecessary and annoying weed.

Sans didn't like it when Papyrus called Azzy that. Only Sans was allowed to make fun of him. However, he held back because deep inside his soul, he still loved and cared for Papyrus. Somewhere deep, deep down. And he was sure (he hoped so at least) Papyrus felt the same way. It was just because of what happened to the underground that they became like this.

He went upstairs to his room after he told Papyrus to call him as soon as the lasagna is ready. He went inside and closed the door behind him.

He let himself fall onto his bed and chuckled as Asriel told him to get off him since he's way heavier than Asriel and he didn't want to get crushed by Sans.

"sorry azzy," he apologized Asriel just sighed and smiled at Sans. "'s okay Sans" he hesitated before asking "Say... are going to Rose's bar today?" Sans looked at him in disbelief "'course we are. we promised her we would get her home today. didn't we?"

"Yeah... It's just... your brother said if we'd go out late today again... he would dust us..." Asriel shuddered at the thought of being dusted. Sans pet some of his petals to comfort him at least a little "i won't let anyone hurt ya azzy..."

He kind of worried about Rose because the monster hate attacks became even more since they lived out on the surface. And these monster hate-groups mostly attacked humans, which are friends with monsters... What if anything would happen to her? His soul ached at the thought of that.

"we'll definitely go and walk her home tonight. no matter what paps said, azzy" Sans had a tone of resolution in his voice. Asriel nodded relieved. He too didn't want anything to happen to Rose.

They already saw suspicious people watching Rose with them together and Sans and Asriel had a feeling that they just waited for an opportunity where they aren't there.

After they talked some more, Sans and Asriel fell asleep.

Sans was woken up by the shouting of his brother and the smell of burned food (burned lasagna to be specific).

He groaned inwardly. He didn't want to eat Papyrus' food again... But he had to... it was his brother after all.

He got up and left Asriel on his bed so that he could sleep some more. Asriel wasn't really used to staying up so late and then getting up so early in the afternoon. At least since he lived with Sans... Seems like Asriel got a little more like Sans since they met.

He mumbled a last "sleep well azzy," before he left the room and closed the door carefully.

He went downstairs and talked as less as possible to his brother and so he ate in silence while his brother was shouting about how he is the best cook and stuff.

As Sans finished swallowing the 'food' he went to place his plate in the sink before he went upstairs to wake up Asriel and get something to eat at Grillby's before they'd head over to Rose's bar and walk her home.

At first, Asriel didn't seem to like the idea of waking up. Sans, however, managed to wake Asriel and made him awake enough so that they could head out. And heading out just means that they teleported there.

They went inside and were greeted by the normal monster patrons. However, there were some humans too. That were some of the ones, which were monster friendly.

Sans with Asriel went to their usual seat at the bar and greeted Grillby.

Grillby was one of the few monsters which accepted Asriel as one of them. Which is kind of weird since if Grillby didn't pay attention to his flames while he was near Asriel, he would just burn Asriel to death by accident...

...(After Grillby's)...

They went outside with the words "put it on my tab grillz," which was followed by a fork landing in the wooden part of the door where only a second ago Sans head would have been in the way. Grillby then grumbled something in the background about Sans should pay his tab and stuff like that.

Outside Sans chuckled "hehe, that was close, wasn't it azzy?" Asriel just stared at him in disbelieve "We were almost stabbed... with a fork, Sans... take this a little more serious please," Sans just kept on chuckling "yeah, but just almost, azzy," Asriel groaned at that response but didn't say anything as Sans told him to hold on tight.

They were now in front of the bar but... nobody was there... was it really that late already? Sans gladly knew where the back entrance was and went there.

He heard someone struggle... he looked around the corner and saw Rose... his Rose held by some stranger. He then saw her blacking out and rage filled Sans.

"R-Rose...?" Asriel muttered shocked. Sans motioned for him to be quiet.

Sans went out the shadows and addressed the stranger, who attacked Rose "hey what are ya doing there with Rose? let go of her or you're going to have A REALLY BAD TIME!" his voice got a lot darker that it normally is at those last words and Asriel had to suppress his trembling to not disturb Sans.

The man, Sans guessed, didn't let go of her. He just chuckled and said something like "Why should I, you freak? We're going to save her from you guys," Sans didn't really catch what the man said because his rage didn't let him really hear what was said.

Sans just grumbled and used his magic to lift up the men. Sans threw the men at all the walls surrounding them after he made sure that Rose was safe now.

After he let the men lay on the ground, he lifted Rose bridal style and brought her home. Well, he teleported her inside her room and left after he made sure that it's comfortable for her inside her bed.

Before he left he glanced at her for a last time. He almost wanted to stay there with Rose but he knew that Rose would feel weirded out by Sans suddenly appearing in her bed the next morning. And Sans didn't really want to explain what had happened to her last night. And he didn't want to think about what might have happened if Sans hadn't appeared right on time.

So he and Asriel just took a last glance at her before they teleported back home into their room.
