(Well that wasn't exactly how we wanted Papyrus to find out about Sans and Frisk's reformed feelings for each other. But Things cool off as the brothers go about their day and Frisk slowly recovers. Theirs a BBQ soon and many of their friends are coming! Should be a great event... if they can get there.)

Chapter 9

Another day at the office

A few hours after Papyrus had walked in on us, we find ourselves sitting awkwardly on the bed as he fumed at us. Well at least two of us felt that way. Papyrus and I wear matching blushes as he talks very animatedly, scolding us quite thoroughly. Sans, however, sits with a huge grin on his face, his emotions rocketing with happiness and content.

At least one of us is unfazed by the railing of someone's brother.

We had covered our nude forms with blankets and waited patiently as Papyrus continues to rail on Sans for being highly unprofessional in their own clinic.

Sans just sat there smiling cheekily at his brother, all the while petting my hair in long comforting strokes. Though embarrassed and annoyed at the current situation, It takes all of my will power not to purr under his bony fingers as they stroked and scratched in areas that almost made my leg twitch in joy. The tingling sensation and the soothing feel of someone touching you gently...

Ohhh, meow, delicious!

"Frisk!"

I startle and swing my head around to look at Papyrus. His eyes stare at me firmly and I blush.

'Well, guess it's my turn again to get the vocal thrashing.'

"I know you're going through a lot, but I think even you know better. Anyone could walk in on you two and..."

"Hey, hey. Take it, easy bro." Sans says calmly. His smile widens a bit as he continues to stroke my head slowly. "The kid here just got a bad call not too long ago. Boss up and fired her you know." He turns and I swear he gives me a small wink. "She's now unemployed and needs our help more than ever." Sans turns to his brother and looks at him with an easy glance. " So you might wanna ease up on her a bit. Between all she's gone through as it is, she doesn't need to get yelled at. Besides I instigated this." His smile widens a bit, " I take full bone-in responsibility."

Papyrus gives his brother a sour look before he turns to me. His face instantly falls in pity. as his hand reaches out to pat my naked shoulder. "Oh, Frisk..I...I'm so sorry." All of his agitation seems to be gone for now in that one moment and I feel a bit grateful. I didn't like getting reprimanded for being caught making love to his brother. It made me feel like I did something wrong when I didn't.

I shrug and shake my head as I try to find a comfortable position on the bed. My back is suddenly getting a bit achy and holding myself straight is becoming hard. Seeing this Papyrus leans forward and helps position me with a pillow on my back. After leaning back and thanking him tiredly.

"It's okay Papyrus. She has always threatened to fire me anyway. So...to tell the truth... I'm kinda glad it happened. The hours, the stress, the...smell. The creepy cashier guy, ew. It's kind of a relief not having to worry about that anymore."

Papyrus gives me a measured look before he nods with understanding. "I see. I can understand that completely. Many of our patients are in similar, if not worse positions at their day to day jobs as well. That you feel freed from something so oppressive...Nye hee...I'm glad."

I nod and gave him a friendly if not tired smile as exhaustion begins to really get to me.

Seeing this Sans chuckles and leans over and kisses me on my forehead gently before stating, "Well as it stands bro, I just hired our little patient as our very own assistant. With the proper training, of course, she will be a benefit to the both of us." He winks at Papyrus and his brother shakes his head at him.

"But Sans, she's...um...I mean... Will it be alright with her? This isn't the type of job that humans would..."

"I want to Paps," I say confidently. "Sans says I would still get paid in this job and...well...If I had to choose who to work for, I would rather it be you two." I sit there confidently and stare at him with determined eyes.

Papyrus blushes at my statement and looks away as Sans chuckles softly again.

"She'll be fine bro, but as you said, she needs rest and time to mend. However," Sans looks at Papyrus levelly before saying, "She needs some attention on her back this evening. Isn't right bro?"

Papyrus nods. "That wound is serious. Even mended it needs some attention for the next few days. Also, I want to check those curses and Jinxes that are still there. I still haven't been able to fully disperse them."

Sans nods to his brother before he leans down and kisses my head gently and says,

"I'm sorry we couldn't finish what we uh...started baby. But when we have a real moment...I promise I'll take you to the stars."

My heart blossoms at that and I blush at his declaration.

"You already took me there Sans. Now I just want to explore them with you. Every, little, possible, corner of them." I give him a determined look and suggestive look. Upon seeing that his eyes wink out and a huge blue blush explodes over his cheek bones.

"I..uh...better...um...get ready...for work." with that he gets up and flashes his hand out. A blue robe appears and he puts it on before marching to where the deep bath is. His emotions float from him in light clouds of color. Embarrassment, excitement, joy, and elation surrounded him like a light shroud.

I smile gently at him as I watch him get the water ready.

"Oh, brother," Papyrus says with a sigh of half amusement and half exhaustion.

I turn to him and notice that he stares after his brother with a soft smile on his face. He then turns to me with gentle eye sockets. Eye Sockets full of hope.

"Well, I better see how that back of yours is doing. Sans will be expecting patients in the next few minutes so we will have to put up a privacy curtain. I would usually prefer to take you to the massage table, however as you are..." He looks at me with a concentrated look, " I think it will be better to keep you here in the bed for now. The curtain currently surrounding us has a spell that I can activate to keep sound out. This will give you and Sans other patients the privacy you all need. One moment please."

I watch as Papyrus leaves and turn to the slightly open portion of the curtain where I could still see Sans where he currently bathed. He is bathing quickly and is just finishing with washing off the soap from his bones. The glistening water on every white surface causes a part of me to moan in appreciation. Whatever feelings I had for him before seem to be resurfacing strongly. I still can't fully remember our past but... my emotions and my feminine desires are very vocal about how they feel about him. No other male has made me this wet, this excited, or feel this feminine. I want to purr at his presence, brush him with my body, and touch him continuously.

For the first time I crave a man almost completely, and my libido agreed wholeheartedly.

I watch him for several minutes as Sans dresses and gets ready for his first patient to arrive. Papyrus walks in through the curtain with everything he needs and closes the curtains around us, shutting off the rest of the office and cutting off my view of Sans. Now dark Papyrus flicks a wrist and several glowing femurs appear in the air around us. Their blue glow illuminating the darkened area like candles.

Turning to me with a kind smile he stands straight and says, "Okay Frisk. Let's see that naughty back." I blush and nod before turning around carefully to lay flush on the mattress. My blush darkens as his hands pull down the covers to reveal my scarred back. Several minutes pass as he touches, prods, and stretches the skin, testing it. Then after some time, my blush cools and I just allow him to do his job.

"Alright. It looks like it is healing, however slowly. The spells I used helped close the skin and muscle but the overall sting of the poison is still very present. I'm going to suggest a deep massage. I brought several ointments with me and theses should do the trick just fine." He proceeds to show me several bottles and explain what each one contains and how it would benefit me. Then he lights several incense and salt lamps.

"Theses help with calming the mind and body. As I work please try to relax completely. You may even sleep if you like." The way he talks is soothing and I find myself already half asleep. I sigh and adjust myself as he begins.

I shiver as the feel of warm oil drizzled onto my back. The scent of lavender and herbs floats drift around me filling my nostrils with their sent. I grin stupidly as large hands touch me and press deeply. Several times I giggle as he finds a ticklish spot and other times I moan as the sensation draws me deeper into a sleepy state. The pressing of bony thumbs on my spine, the dip and smooth rub on shoulders, and ribs, is so heavenly.

The overall experience draws me into a deep slumber.

…...

I find myself standing in a dark room. I feel trapped in the dark void, unable to escape, and the sensation is like slowly suffocating in a tight airless container. No sound, no wind, nothing to tell me where I am or what is happening to me.

Then a sound begins to rise from the darkness. A steady and irritating sound that grows louder and louder until it becomes defining.

"BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEPEEEPPPBEEEPBBBEPPPP!"

I cover my ears and try to keep the noise out, but it is as if I did nothing. With a sudden flash red light erupts around me and I turn with a horrid gasp to see a large red ball of light in the sky. The glow then settles down until the shape took on what looked like an illuminated button. The button appeared to be blinking in time with the beeps. Flashing in such a way that it seemed angry.

I stare up at it in horror and shriek as evil glowing eyes of every color open and stare down at me from around it. All of them full of crazed hate. Whispers begin to rise with the beeping. Whispers that are incomprehensible. Like static over the beeps. The noise makes my chest tighten with fear and my stomach fills with acidic pain.

Why did the noise scare me so much?

As I watch in shaking horror, a giant white hand appears from under the harsh red light and forms until it is pointing down at me in accusation.

"YOU KNEW BETTER." a loud voice accused.

"You Knew...You knew...you knew..." chanted the other voices. They continue to chant and I shake my head and scream at them. My voice crying out into the black.

But no one came.

The finger launches itself at me and, with a thunk, buries itself into my stomach. Blood falls in great puddles from the wound and I watch numbly as the area fills with the sound of water beating on walls.

But it wasn't water.

…...

I lurch up screaming. My body bowing in an uncomfortable arch as my voice rises by seconds.

"FRISK! FRISK!?"

A deep voice calls me but I can't respond. The memory of the dream resounds with in my mind as the voices words echo over and over again like an evil mantra.

'You knew...you knew...you...'

"Frisk!" A bony hand clamps over my eyes and green light flares gently over my vision. Almost instantly I feel calmer and my body relaxes little by little as the magic flows through me in gentle waves. With a sob, I collapse into bony arms and allow them to hold me close to a familiar body.

"Frisk are you...? What happened?"

"Sans..." I whimper as I hold him close to me. "It was...it...was...so bad! There was a red light..evil eyes, a voice, and a hand that...that..." I sob hard into his shirt as my eyes stare in terror at the ground on the other side of the bed. I saw it and yet I could not fully register what I am looking at.

Sans holds me closely and brushes the sweaty hair from my forehead. "Take it, easy baby. Just...just breath for me okay. Breath."

I cling to him as I do just that. Allowing the fragrance in the air to fill my lungs and exhale the air in steady breaths. Finally, I lay limp and exhausted in his arms. My body shakes under the stress and Sans slowly pets my back in response. He murmurs quietly into my hair as he rocks me slowly in his embrace. It feels like long moments have passed before I can breathe again. After gulping some air I look around the darkened space to find that we are the only two there. The small opening in the curtains shows bright light streaming from the lights in the office. The windows look dark in comparison.

'Was it night time?'

I look up at Sans with mild confusion. "Sans? W...what time is it? Where...where is Paps?"

Sans smiles tiredly and replies, "It's late kid. Almost midnight. He realized we hadn't eaten in a while so he went out to get food. He said your back is doing better and with a few more of his treatments you should be right as rain."

I nod and think back at Papyrus treatment. His care for me and my health. I know that is his job as a nurse/doctor/ what have you. But it feels nice to know he cared for my health, unlike the other doctors I ever tired to see. It is a breath of fresh air.

Sans gazes at me for a moment before pulling me closer and holding me tightly to him. I welcome the embrace and nuzzle up into his robe. The smell of it reeked of ketchup. I wonder why?

"So you like my bro, right Frisk?"

I blink and look up at him in question. Where did that come from?

He just chuckles as he kisses the top of my head gently. "Heh heh. It's okay babe. I don't mind if you have feelings for him down the road. Actually, I would like it if you did. Even a little bit. He's a good monster."

I stare up at him in confusion and he breaths out a breath before saying, "My brother is the best there can be. He's strong, sure headed, and a bit of a maniac when it comes to working, but that's what makes him so great. I love him very much, and would be nothing without him." He looks into the distance as he talks, "Without him, I would probably not be here today. He's kept me here for a long time, kept me sane." He then looks back at me, his eyes gleaming with love. "Hell sweet heart, if I didn't love you as much as I do, and plenty selfish as I plan to be with you, I would have found a way to get you two together. He would be a good monster to you." His body shivers under my embrace and I tighten my arms around him as I stare up at him with worry.

" He'll treat you like a lady. And he might not show it too much now, but he does care for you. More like a friend or sister currently, but there is a possibility of that growth. But uh..." He wiggles his 'eyebrows'. "I do plan on being quite possessive unless you don't mind us...sharing you from time to time." His grin is so devilish I could actually feel him laughing at me through the expression.

My face is so red I could not speak. Not at first.

"Sans...what...what is this all of a sudden? I..why did you bring this up? I don't..understand." I ask as I lean away from him to stare at his eyes. His expression and his emotions are calm and sure. He was serious and nervous.

He shrugs.

"I just wanted to let you know Frisk. That uh...if something were to happen...you would have someone next to you to keep you safe...and my bro likes ya. I know how he is. He's never even had a crush before and the knuckle head can't seem to realize it yet but. I think he likes ya a little right now. Not intensely, but I can see it." He breaths out and then looks at me again with a sure expression. " I love you, Frisk. Almost more than anything. And I love my brother just as much. Th...there are things that might happen. Things that...we can't control and..."

I touch his face gently. My hand trembling now as I caress his cheek bone softly. He breathes harshly and sighs, looking away before allowing himself to drape some of his weight onto me. I take it willingly, and I wrap my arms around him. His posture is ragged and defeated as he says, " It happened again, Frisk. That poison that got you. They...they did it again."

I freeze at that and wait as he tells me what he had learned. Supposedly, some of the monsters that came to see him that evening, witnessed some human men attacking a monster who had just come out of work. They had beat them and as a finishing touch, they poured something on the monster to cause it to scream and disappear into nothing. As if they never existed. However, instead of raising a ruckus, the humans around them had cheered, even congratulating them in front of them. Terrified the other monsters had fled the scene before they were caught too.

"All of the ones that came in today were mostly the ones who had witnessed the horrid scene." He sighs into my chest and I hold him close to me. My heart beating a mile a minute at the thought. To just be erased...just like that.

"Sans what...what do we do then?" I ask with a trembling voice as I hold him tighter.

He sighs again and wraps me in his arms tightly. "I...I don't know kid. The United are fairly strong but they are still outnumbered by their rivals. If things go bad...It can get very ugly."

A part of me freezes at that notion. But as fear grows another feeling grew with it until it dominates everything else.

Determination.

"Sans," I say with a low voice as I hold him tightly. " I swear, no matter what, I won't let that happen to you or anyone else! I'll...I'll find a way to keep that type of fate from happening Sans, I swear!"

"Zzzzzz..." Came his reply.

I sit there with a shocked face before annoyance takes over and I gently conk him on the head.

"Ow! What what?" He blinks at me in confusion and I say, "I'm trying to be serious here you bonehead!"

He stares at me confused but then a small smile of gratitude graces his face. Chuckling he nods and places his head firmly on my chest. His arms squeeze me gently.

"I know kid. I know. I'm sorry." He looks at me and kisses my forehead before drifting slowly to my eye lids. Hovering there he seems to be breathing me in. I close my eyes and allow him. After a few moments, I ask softly, " Hey, Sans?"

"Yeah precious?"

I blush at his endearment. "Um...would it still be possible for us to visit my family tomorrow? I...I just want to know if I could be able to still attend Dad's BBQ. I don't want to miss it after all this time you know."

Chuckling deeply he says, "I think I told ya once before, we were planning to go anyway, and I don't want my little princess to miss her own father's banquet." He kisses my eye lids before drifting lower to my lips. Hovering there he says, "I have some appointments in the morning and Paps has a few that he needs to see to as well. But sometime around six...yeah six, we're going to head out. And we have a nice little chariot for the bell of the ball as well. I think you'll love it." He kisses my lips gently, slowly nibbling them with his grinning teeth. I moan into him and I snuggle into his willing body.

We take our time with each other, making out slowly as we wait for Papyrus to return. When he did we part reluctantly and exam what he brought. We were treated to a lovely meal of Chinese take out and tea. We picked out our favorite trays and after sitting comfortably we begin to eat. We talk briefly and concentrate solely on eating until the last piece of rice had been consumed. After words, we fall asleep in a tangled pile of full bellies.

Wrapped in the arms of the brothers I blink up at the ceiling of the office. My heart beating hard at the words Sans had said not too long ago. His fears and his willingness to leave me with his brother if need be. It is a confusing thing that he asked of me, but I also knew where he came from. He is afraid.

I hold him close to me and pull Papyrus's arm firmly around us.

I want to take his fears away... but...the truth was...

I am also afraid.

…...

The next morning arrived with a bright red sun and a snoring pair of brothers on either side of me. I had laid awake for some time before they arose to start their morning routine. They had risen and both had given me a sleepy good morning before they took turns using the bath. I watched as Papyrus acted none plus for several moments until he finished putting on his uniform and looked up at me. It was only then he had realized that I had watched him openly throughout his morning bath and dress.

I had watched both of them.

He blushes and rants at me gently not to watch male skeletons getting ready. It wasn't lady like.

I just giggle and nod as his blush continued to flame his cheek bones. Sans, seeing his brothers discomfort began to pun him uncontrollably as he finished putting his outfit on. Papyrus threw a pillow at him to shut him up.

After a light breakfast of noodles, eggs, and coffee, that Papyrus prepared in their small kitchenette, they began filing paper work and getting ready for their first patients to arrive. Sans patients came first, so as he was working, Papyrus took the time to check on my back and make notes. He gave me another deep massage and some herbal tea to down to help me sleep.

When I awake again the brothers were on either side of me, looking down with gentle expressions.

"Hey, cupcake." Sans coos as he reaches down and pinches my cheek jokingly.

"Oh ha ha Sans," I say with a huff and swat his hand away. "So is it time?"

Papyrus nods. "Of course it is. And I'm going down stairs to ensure our mode of transportation is ready!" Papyrus turns to Sans with a small grin before leaning down and kissing me softly on the forehead. I giggle at the sensation as he pats my head gently and makes his way out of the office.

Sans shakes his head and chuckles tiredly at him before looking down at me. "So um... it's up to you but uh...do you want any help getting ready sport? I mean I can understand if you don't but..."

I smile at him. "I think I can do the personal stuff, like washing and using the bathroom. But getting to the tub over there and some parts of dressing, I might need a little aid."

Sans nods and pulls the sheets down to reveal my still nude body. He pauses to look and I tease him by stretching a bit.

"Like what you see bone man?" I ask with a teasing sexy voice.

He grins and gives me a narrow hot glance that catches my breath.

"You have no idea human." I shudder at his voice before he leans over to pick me gently from the bed. "Now my lady. We shall ensure you're dressed and ready! Can't have the Princess late for the ball."

I giggle at that as he walks me to the bath tub where I proceed to wash and ready myself.

…...

Thirty minutes later we're out in Papyrus's favorite red, sports, car and heading to our destination. The car is very nice indeed. Red and only a few years old. By the look and feel of it, Papyrus takes great care of it. And he would not stop gloating when we arrived to get going.

Sigh.

We were all dressed fairly casually. Papyrus in a turtleneck and slacks with nice black shoes. Sans in a simple blue hoody, black shorts, and (For some reason) flip flops. And I wear loose blue jeans and a black sleeve shirt. The clothes are new and bought for me ahead of time by the brothers. How they knew my size I didn't know, but it was nice to have something new that wasn't worn by another person at one time.

The drive itself is fairly normal...at first. Sans teases Papyrus from time to time with a few soft worded puns and Papyrus taunts back with his own jokes that were meant to shoot Sans down. But they never worked. Sans topped him every time causing a hilarious bug eyed response from Papyrus that had me laughing myself silly. It is during one of theses boughs that I happen to turn and see a car behind us through a rear view mirror on Sans side. I had noticed it on and off throughout the ride and the fact that it hasn't moved off of our ass is steadily unnerving me.

'It could be just my nerves...but maybe...'

I stared at it for some time, unwilling to turn fully least they notice I did so. I have to be discreet. Not wanting to alarm the brothers I sit quietly and allow myself to mentally target the car behind me. It takes a great deal of concentration. To target and hold onto the focus when so many other minds are screaming at you at once is challenging.

But I did it.

And I did not like what I find.

My heart almost stops as I feel the same emotions that I felt back at Grillby's strip club only a few days ago. They were more manic now and they had one solid thing they wanted to do.

Hunt. For us.

They were hunting us...hunting us...hunting...

We're in danger!

Fear beats at me as I sit strapped in the middle of the back seat. However, I didn't want them to know there was anything suspicious, so I say, "Hey guys?"

The brothers stop their idle chat and Sans looks back at me with a glowing smile. "Yeah, whats up?"

"First, look ahead Sans. Don't ask please, just look ahead and keep your head turned forward."

Sans face becomes confused but he sees the urgency in my face and turns.

Papyrus, unable to turn his head anyway becomes confused, "What is it, Frisk? Is something...?"

"Those guys from the bar are right behind us. They're hunting us." I say flatly as I keep my mind linked with the men behind us. "They are planning to crash right into us as we get into the Monster Zone. Then...they plan to kill us." My voice shakes as I read the men's plans to them.

The brothers freeze for a moment, saying nothing. Then Sans nods and looks at his brother. Papyrus then steadily adjusts his driving a bit and rotates his shoulders.

"Frisk, can you tell us when they might try something?" Sans said as he takes out his cell phone and starts dialing.

"Yes," I say nervously as I grip my seatbelt tightly.

"That's my girl. Don't worry Frisk, we will not let those ass holes do anything to you okay." Sans replies gently before the ringing stops and my Fathers voice rings with a cheery southern accent.

"Sir we have a problem," Sans says and quickly and explains the situation to my Father.

Several minutes pass and I take a moment to glance outside and realized that we were no longer on the route to the monsters Zone. In fact, It seems we are heading to the border of the city limits.

"Yes, sir I understand. We're heading there now as we speak and..." As Sans talks, I feel a sudden shift in the patience of the men behind us. They're getting frustrated. They thought that we were heading to the monster Zone but now that we weren't they had to come up with another plan. However, the driver didn't give a fuck anymore.

I feel his intentions...

"Papyrus! He's about to ram us!"

The car behind us takes a sudden lurch forward and barely misses us as Papyrus puts his foot on the gas and takes off down the busy roads of the city.
