Things had gotten easier between you and Sans. And by easier you mean you were able to tell apart your own feelings and emotions from his now. For some reason you would feel uneasiness when you would see large knifes. When you looked at ketchup, your mouth would water and you could practically taste it, which you found the thought disgusting.

Whenever you glanced at your own reflection, you'd feel a light fluttering fuzzy feeling in your stomach. Though lately you had been looking at your most healtiest. Your hair was thicker, skin more colorful, body more meatier and curvier. You were proud at your developement and apparently Sans was too.

Now that you knew Sans felt everything you did for all these years you tried to treat him back to some nice things. Warm bubble baths. Sun bathing. And you also spent more time outside so he could see more of the sky. He loved the stars, and you tried to learn about them so you could tell him. You loved the excitement you felt from him. You craved his happiness.

You couldn't explain it, but you felt closer to him now that you had a chance to learn about him. Today, you were going to help Keith and his family on their land. They normally had helping hands but this year lacked a few and you offered your services.

When you saw him as you walked onto his property he grinned and your stomach flopped. You two hugged and he automatically walked you in the direction of the barn, "Alright me and some of the guys are gunna be plowyin' and softening up some of the fields you can help my mom with the animals since they love ya already it'll be easy." as he said this a horse already trotted up, noticing your arrival, and began lipping the shoulder of your jacket.

Giggling, you dug you hand into Keiths jacket and pulled out a few sugar cubes to give the ol' gal and she nuzzled your palm happily. Keith had dusting of pink on his face and a soft smile, he slapped his hand on your back with a grin and walked away to get to work.

The horse whinnied and you ran your hand down her slender face.

*i don't like him.

"I know you don't but transitioning from winter to warmer weather is hard work. So you gotta deal with it and enjoy the weather or go do your own thing."

You didn't mean to sound so rude, but you wanted to be social and helpful and out of your shell. Sans' emotions on certain people wasn't going to hold you back from that.

A wet mess of lips pulling some of your hair pulled you from yourself and noticed the horse eyeballing you. "Okay okay, lets go get you cleaned up your majesty."

*that horse is too smug.

"Hmm? What do you mean?" you side glanced the horse who actually did seem to have a cocky attitude at the moment. "Oh, I see now. It's okay. She's not my spoiled horse so not my problem." Finally arriving inside the barn, Keiths mother was brushing one of the other horses and by judging the amount of animal hair on the floor, just about everyone is getting the salon treatment. "Hey there!" The poor woman jumped and patted her chest. "You just 'bout gave me a heart attack, I'm not ready to be dying yet child!" Laughing she ushered you over, "You got here on time! I just finished up with this one and what we're going to do is rake out all the hay, hair, and soiled bits outside. Burn it, and hose and scrub the cement and lay down new bedding! While we do that we're going to rearrange the shelves and take stock on the feed and check the electracles on the property, make sure everything is in tip top shape and make lunch for the fellas and feed the animals."

Oh wow that sounds like a lot, but rolling up your sleeves and nodding you were determined to work hard.

*yea, wanna make sure you don't horse around.

If you ever met Sans, you'd punch him first in the face and you grinned. "Heyyyy pal. Whats a farmers favorite tool?"

*mmm i don't know what is it?

"A HOE!" Laughing madly while you worked was the best. Listening to Sans come apart and gasping for air was better revenge than imagining to punch him in the face.

It actually wasn't that bad. Well, you were drenched in sweat and had to peel your jacket off but you had fun the entire time doing it. The day was almost over and the sun was slowly setting and you sat there relaxing, letting the wind cool down your sweaty skin. You felt a calming sensation wash over you and you knew Sans was admiring the view. The sky was going from blues, purples, pinks, orange, and a reddish orange a few stray clouds littered the sky. Absolutely beautiful.

*stunning

"Radiant."

*amazing.

"Breath taking."

*addictive.

You could only hum in agreement. You pointed. "See that star right there? That's the north star."

*its so.. so amazing that the moon and the sun are out at the same time.

"Oh then you'd love an eclipse."

*i think i would love anything with you.

A blush crept up onto your face. That was extremely suggestive and you weren't sure if he ment it that way or not. He knew how to control his emotions and it seemed right now he was covering it up by sending mixed emotions.

"Hey! What're you doing out here all by your self?" nearly jumping out of your skin you turned toward Keith as he walked up and stopped next to you. "Nothing much just cooling off." Keith stared at you for a moment then looked up at the sky. "I really appreciate you coming out here. My folks really like you."

"It was no problem I'm willing to lend a hand whenever." You grinned and stood up, "Anyhow, any possible way for you to take me home? I'm a bit sore." He smiled and nodded as you dusted off your pants and grabbed your jacket.

Later he bid you farewell as you stood on your porch and quickly made our way to grab some fresh clean clothes to take a shower. As you got closer you heard the whispers of your parents from their bedroom. "I do miss them an awful lot. I wounder if they're okay." Your mothers voice was so soft, it had sounded as if she was crying. "I'm sure everything will be okay." The floor creaked when you took an extra step and tried to cover it up by basically barging in. "If everything okay? Momma, have you been crying?"

You mother quickly dabbed at her eyes with the tissue she was holding, your father laid the box of tissues next to her and ushered you out. "Everything is fine dumplin', just old bad news coming back you know?" You nodded, this tended to happen every now and then with your mother. Later she may get drunk and get even more depressed or just go to bed.

"Well do either of y'all need the bathroom, I was gunna take a shower and head to bed." He shook his head no and patted your back. "Go a head and get cleaned up. Sleep well alright?" He kissed the top of your head and returned to the room leaving you in the hall.

You made your way to the bathroom, showered and stood in the water thinking. Things just didn't add up with your parents. You wanted to interragate them, but you didn't want to upset them even more. They were hiding something and you needed to get to the bottom of it.

*hey everything will be fine. you'll figure it out

Automatically covering your chest you looked up and a head as if to give Sans no chance to see anything, even though your positive he's seen enough. You could feel the heat radiate from your face and you quickly shut off the water, wrung out your hair and covered up with a towel.

"What the hell Sans. You couldn't give me like. 5 more minutes?"

*don't worry i didn't see anything

You could hear the grin in those words. Asshole.

Getting dressed and hanging up your towel you worked your way out of the bathroom and into yours, but on the way you noticed the door to the guest room cracked. Tip toeing up to it and peeking in you saw your mother curled up on the bed fast asleep. Walking in you looked at her then eased the blankets out from under her and covered her up. Before quietly escaping you noticed a piece of paper sticking out from under her pillow, you snatched it and turned to leave only to trip over a shoe and smashed into the dresser next to the door with a loud thud, enough to wake your mother up.

"What happened, are you okay?!" She jumped up and tripped over the same object but recovered her balance faster. Must've been years of training from you leaving toys on the floor. She grabbed the offending object that had tripped both of you and tossed it under the bed and went to check you for any injuries.

"No no I'm fine don't worry. I just saw you in here and decided to cover you up." Your mothers look down casted and she walked back to the bed, grabbed a water bottle from the bed side table that was probably not filled with water and took a few large gulps.

"I'm sorry for the trouble dumplin' you can go a head and go to bed, I'm going back to sleep." After saying that she laid down, rolled to face the wall and covered herself up. Softly padding back to your own room you chewed on your bottom lip.

Laying in bed you got comfortable. "Sans?"

*yea?

"What do you think I should do?"

*the only thing you can do is wait until they're ready to tell you.

Sighing dramatically you pulled a pillow out from the corner and placed it onto your face and groaned loudly into it. "Merf mer merr merf?"

*sorry i didn't understand that miss mumbles.

"Do you wanna watch a movie or something?"

*a surface movie? sure.

Pulling out your laptop you brought up netflix and clicked on Lilo and Stitch, you've watched it so many times that netflix always suggested it to you.

This was nice. Watching a movie together, well sorta. You wished he was next to you watching it.

Something in your chest ached and you frowned.

OoOo

Two chapters in one day? What is the occasion?! Well the occasion isn't the greatest.

I decided to post up this chapter because it wasn't a huge cliff hanger for me to not update for a few days. I already had this chapter done anyway so I figured why not.

Anyway, I've been having a lot of family problems going on for a while now and on my moms side I just found out it actually escalated a bit so I'm not going on a hiatus or anything! I practically have the next chapter done and already writing notes for 9 so don't worry.

So 8 will be up in about 3-4 days? Enough for me to be with my family, catch up with 9 (I'm use to being 3 chapters a head of everyone).

I will try to continue to try and reply to reviews as well!

I hope everyone has a wonderful next few days and I will post again soon!
