Chapter 25: A Friend
Ring ring, you picked up the phone "hello?" you said "hey Y/N", it was Ryan you smiled "hey...what's up?" you asked, "well uh...how many of these cosplay guys are rooming with you?" Ryan asked, you blinked "what are you talking bout?" you asked.
"Well...I was doing some shopping and I found your friends...Ink and Blue?" Ryan asked as you hummed in response "well they are with this other guy...but he's not dressed as a skeleton, but ya know he's got this hoodie...like Sans" Ryan replied, "wait...how do you know about Sans?" you asked "I played Undertale..." he replied.
You sighed "so...are they in trouble?" you asked wondering why Ink and Blue are walking around town, "no...people are just staring...just thought, maybe you'd like to come and make sure no one freaks" Ryan asked, you sighed "yeah...where are they?"
You had to be sneaky...this was your chance to spy on them, you dressed yourself heavily in a black hoodie and black shoes, you watched them as they were searching a taco aisle, that didn't surprise you Blue loved making taco's...though didn't Ink tell you that they can't eat non magic foods, why was Blue getting non magical taco's?
"Why do I have to be here?" complained the male human, "so we don't stand out so much, humans are much more calm when they believe we are cosplayers" Ink whispered, the human sighed "fine...but why is Blue buying taco's from this world?" he asked, Blue turned "it's practice for miss Y/N" he said as he looked back at the taco's finding the cheapest brand.
"Oh right...your girlfriend, I'll never understand how you guys can fall for a simple human" the human replied, Ink smirked "I'd bet you'd like her" he said as the human sighed "nah...I'm more into monsters myself" he finished.
Wait...this human was an alternate Sans?
...Why didn't you find him attractive?
Oh well...how were Ink and Blue going to pay for the taco shells anyway?
You carefully followed them to the check out and noticed the human seemed to have the currency, which made sense still you better get home before they do, you began to hurry and bumped into the skeletons "oh human I'm sorry are you okay?" Blue asked, thank the lords the hood stayed up as you covered your face in the best way you could, you nodded and quickly rushed out.
Whew...you had arrived home before they did.
Hearing a teleport sound you opened an eye and spotted the group "where did you guys go?" you asked ready for a lie or something, Blue was nervous obviously wanting his taco thing as a surprise "we wanted to see more of your world, our alternate human self bought some er...food for himself, Ink nodded quickly as you gave them a stare..."you didn't tell me there was an alternate world where Sans is a human" you said standing up and walking up to the new Sans.
Now able to see him closer you noticed he had quite white messy hair, his skin was also quite pale and unlike Sans didn't have a permanant grin, he still gave a small smile "nice to meet you miss Y/N" he said, you had to think of another new nickname...then again you felt no attraction to this Sans.
"It's nice to meet you too...is it okay to give you a nickname?" you asked as he shrugged "sure whateves you like" he replied, you stared as you tried to think of a name...Sans...hmmm "how bout" you said before pausing "um...Husans?" you said, before giving yourself a facepalm you were running out of inventive nicknames.
The human laughed loudly "HAHA...why not Clive?" he asked as you stared "why Clive?" you asked "cause I like it" Clive replied as you sighed, "well okay" you replied "I gotta go!" Blue said quickly rushing through the portal "k...I'm heading home" Clive said as he slowly walked through the portal, Ink stared "Y/N...do you...like him?" he asked.
You groaned slightly "not...really, not in that way..." you replied noticing Ink's bright smiling face, you couldn't help but smile "next time you decide to visit...tell me okay?" you asked as Ink nodded "of course!" he said excitedly as he rushed through the portal.
You sighed...gosh he was so cute...you wish you had someone who understood how you felt...wait, 'I'm more into monsters myself', you quickly rushed into the portal as you looked around for his world...you found something called HumanTale...well that MUST be it, so you walked through it.
You found yourself at Mt Ebott as you spotted a small village nearby...Clive couldn't be far, so you headed toward the village.
Arriving in the village the first thing you spotted was a small goat monster child as she stared at you with closed eyes, you stared and smiled "hello there little one" you said "Frisk...are you bothering the nice girl?" asked a nicely dressed female human, Frisk shook her head as she ran up to the human woman "oh no miss...um...I'm looking for someone called Sans, do you know him?" you asked.
The woman chuckled "yes...you'll find him at Grillby's" she replied as you nodded "thank you miss" you said as Frisk seemed to tug on the lady's dress robe, "hm you want to see him too?" the woman asked as Frisk nodded, "okay...I'm sure the lady needs help getting there anyway" she said.
Frisk smiled as she...or are they a he?
They grab your hand leading you to Grillby's which is deeper in the village, most of the village was filled with humans, with only a few monsters around...guess this world is totally swapped with humans being trapped underground instead of monsters, soon you arrived at Grillby's as Frisk opened the door you followed, they gasped as they ran up to the bar you soon saw Clive sitting at the bar as he drank ketchup...guess some things never change.
"Oh hey kiddo" Clive said as Frisk tugged on his hoodie, he turned slightly and noticed you "oh hey Y/N" he said as you walked over, "hi Clive" you said as Frisk stared confused "why are ya here?" he asked as he picked Frisk up letting her sit on his lap as Grillby brought Frisk a milkshake, "oh well...I need advice" you said.
Clive blinked as you sat down "uh kiddo...can ya give me and my friend some privacy?" he asked as Frisk nodded as she walked over to a group of humans playing poker, "well...I don't know how much you know about me dating...well...almost every skeleton I meet" you said a dark blush on your face,
Clive chuckled slightly "I know everything, listen...it's normal" he said which made you stare "ya see...there is...this cute monster girl, I love her...I want to protect and keep her safe" he said.
You smiled "aw how cute, who is she?" you asked as Clive frowned "you didn't let me finish" he said causing you to frown "humans age quicker than monsters do...she's...not quite my age yet...but ever since I met her, everything she's done..." he said looking quite upset.
You frowned "I...didn't think of that, I'll age faster than the others" you finished "maybe...I shouldn't date them at all..." you added, Clive sighed "nah your special, you got magic...something no other human has" he said, you sighed "but...still how will it work, can I still have kids with a skeleton, do they kiss without lips?" you asked.
Clive began laughing "Y/N calm down, there isn't any need to panic just go with it...talk with them if you are really concerned...you need a drink, Grillby bring another bottle of ketchup" he said, you stared confused "I don't drink ketchup" you replied, Clive smirked "neither do I" he whispered finally getting the bottle of ketchup you took a sip and your eyes widened...it was WINE!
After a long drink with Clive you arrived back home and flopped down on the couch groaning, you swore you would try...you need to try.
Early chapter cause I feel like it.
Oh look a Sans Reader ISN'T interested in.
To be honest I want the Reader to have a human friend that they can trust in with their secrets (that isn't their family).
Anyways Clive is in love with someone very close...I bet people can guess...
Also I can't find out who was the first to create HumanTale soooo...I don't claim ownership of the idea but I gave Clive a design that was as close to Sans as possible (yes Clive is an albino).
