Sans slept like a rock, despite how he was sitting, he only came to when he felt something behind him.
He moved his head back to see what it was but it was too late.
Everything happened in sequence, first he handful of cream slapped him in the face, sending him falling back, pulling a thin string that pulled a bucket of ice cold water, sending the contents splashing down on top of Sans.
…
He felt the human girl as she hopped on top of his chest area, she had a wide smile.
"Not bad kid, not bad at all…"
She laughed before getting off and offering him a hand, only to have him find out that there was a whoopee cushion there.
…
They both laughed loudly at that.
"…Ha-ha oh man, you really went all out didn't you kid?"
She only smiled at him as she helped the skeleton to his feet and offered him a towel.
He barely finished drying off when Frisk grabbed him in a tight hug.
"Heh, what's gotten into you kid?"
"Sans, can I ask something?"
"Sure?"
"No matter what happens, will you remember me?"
…
"Frisk, of course I'll remember you."
"Thank you Sans, don't ever forget, no matter what I need to do okay?"
Before he could ask what she meant Frisk let go and headed to the kitchen, leaving Sans wondering what was going on.
Breakfast was, surprisingly lively, Frisk had a constant tune in her head that quickly leaked out for Sans to hear, she blushed when he joined in at what could only be seen as a chorus section.
The skeleton was impressively in tune, his slightly deep and rugged voice supported Frisk's higher and softer tone, he did surprise her when out of the blue he took over from her, despite not knowing the original lyrics of the song that had come to life, he was able to keep to the original 'heart' with ease.
The pair continued for a long time, Sans had never known he could, do this, but he could see it in her eyes, she had heard him like this before, and was overjoyed to hear him sing again.
Frisk however was truly shocked that he was able to think up words on the fly, something that she had a suspicion of after something happened in one of her previous lives but he never confirmed nor denied it.
…
But as all great things, their singing came to an end, Frisk 'faded out', admiring the skeleton's musical ability while Sans maintained the chorus alone up until the last note, and stretched it out in what could have been mistaken for a well-practiced manner, not ruining the rhythm in any sense even as he slowly fell silent.
…
The skeleton breathed in deeply before looking over to his companion.
"I, had no idea I could do that."
She only smiled, his voice was shaky, like he was uncertain if it really happened, looking to his hand he chuckled as he brought it up to see.
His boney hand was rattling.
"ha-ha, what's wrong?"
She reached to his hand, covering it with hers, but when she saw the comparison in size, it, soured her mood.
"Well done Sans… you did great…"
He could see her smile fade and decided to act, but his brain took too long to catch up with his body's action.
He gently grabbed her face and brought his skull closer to her, realizing what he was going to do too late.
Frisk could feel it, the sensation of lips pressed against her own, she wouldn't see them, but, she felt them, something she learned before, a skeleton monster like Sans or Papyrus, could focus their spirit so they and others could, feel certain things, do, certain things, a simple kiss, was the least of that power.
But Sans was the only one she knew, in every timeline, that could focus his spirit to become a force of destruction…
The kiss only lasted for a moment before he pulled away.
"Uh, wow, that-"
"Sans?"
"Yeah?"
"Shut up…"
"Already done."
She giggled at that before pulling him outside.
He was about to ask what was going on but he saw her scoop up some snowball and make a ball of it, throwing it at him.
"Uh oh, careful-"
Another snowball, smacking him right in the face.
"Oh you're gonna pay for that."
He joined in on the fun, although with his boney fingers it proved to be somewhat a challenge for him to scoop up enough to make a ball.
Despite that however and the near constant onslaught from frisk, Sans was quick to return fire, forcing the human to take cover as a hailstorm of snowballs came her direction.
"You looking for a bad time?"
She was able to dodge enough snowballs to send another one to him, but the skeleton was too quick, sidestepping the chilling attack with ease.
This was bad, sans was too quick for her to take him on face to face, she would need to think of some other way or this would be it.
"Come on Frisk, think, what could do it, you've known him for-"
She got it, a naughty grin spread across her lips for a moment as she peaked her head out from the cover for a few seconds, pulling back in time to miss the snowball that would've connected right with her face.
She saw enough to know that, if she was going to do this, it was going to take time, and he would need to do exactly as she needed for it to work.
"Okay Sans, let's fight."
She sprinted out from behind her cover, barely keeping ahead of the barrage that came her way, as she ran she quickly bent down at an angle to scoop up some snow, returning fire.
He dodged, exactly as she needed him to.
The pair played this little game of cat and mouse for a while, until sans backed up, noticing too late what he backed up against as frisk bolted to him.
He was right against a tree and when he looked to frisk, he saw her jump up, planting her foot on the tree right above him and kicking off, landing in front of sans, in time to see all the snow that was on the tree, shower down on him.
The skeleton was buried under snow, Frisk waited for a while, watching him carefully.
Only noticing a movement where his hands were when it was too late.
She looked up and saw them, two very large Gaster blasters, that were buried in snow until a moment ago, they emptied out their slippery contents on Frisk just after Sans shook his head to get rid of the snow so he could see.
The skeleton laughed as he saw Frisk shaking about to get out of the snow, she looked at him than up to the blasters still hovering overhead then back to him, pouting in defeat.
Sans got out of his snow pile with her help and they both headed back to the house.
"Sans?"
Turning around the skeleton saw white.
"Get dunked on."
She laughed as she zipped passed the skeleton.
Wiping off the snow she slapped on his face Sans had to admit, it was fun to play around like this.
"He-he, good kid…"
The remainder of the day was rather, uneventful, Frisk seemed to be locked on trying to further her research but she did enjoy Sans's company more than before, she actually asked him if she could stay with him but made it clear that, she just, wanted his company, if he wanted to help, it would be up to her.
When the day did come to an end though Frisk made an odd request…
"Sans?"
"Yeah kid? What's up?"
"Can I ask you something?"
"Sure."
"Is it alright, if I sleep here with you tonight?"
"Excuse me kid?"
…
"I, don't want to be alone, in the dark…"
That was an odd request, what would she be-
He remembered, the presence he felt before, and in the library as well.
"Sure kid."
"Thanks."
She headed to him and sat next to him on the couch.
"Sans?"
"Yeah?"
"Could you, hold my hand?"
He found this request getting stranger and stranger by the minute but did as she asked, gently holding her hand in his own.
"Thanks, mmm…"
Her eyes slid closed, as they did she leaned right against him.
"...So warm…"
This little human girl fell asleep after those words slid past her lips.
Sans suppressed a chuckle, she was acting odd today, but, he enjoyed it.
The skeleton felt sleep slowly start to overtake him and he set his own head against hers.
As the pair slept peacefully, a rage grew somewhere between life and death.
A child like voice screamed out in anger, a feminine voice
"THEY ARE RUINING EVERYTHING! ARGH! FINE! I will just give them a nudge to get this right, hmm…"
The anger faded as a soft giggle came from the voice.
"Perfect…"
The laughter continued, unheard by all, save for one, a single being, lost and mostly forgotten.
This single being, replied, telling her that, she wouldn't win, Sans would kill Frisk if she ever succumbed, that this timeline was only one thing…
'Interesting'
"We'll see."
