if you want to see the manga comic doodle for this chapter!!
Jasper sitting snuggly besides Sans on the couch, he continued reading the story. With every page he turned, Sans could hear the growing enthusiasm in the little boy's voice. He was impressed to see how someone so small and young was able to read such an advance book. That's for some reason unbeknownst to him, he was proud. Towards the end of the story, Sans set his hand ontop of Jasper's head causing the young boy to look up at him.
"heh, i can see why your mom enjoyed hearing you read." He smiled warmly at him. Jasper eyes widen at his words, feeling his face heating up. Closing the book, he looked away.
"I-it's not like it's a b-big deal!" Sans enjoying the embarrassed look on him, began to laugh while ruffling his hair. Jasper tried to swat Sans' hand away, but with little to no effort.
"GAHHHHHH! YOU MANGY DOG! BRING BACK MY TINY HUMAN!" Both Sans and Jasper looked at each other in confusion before leaning from their seat on the couch to have a better view into the kitchen. Which they manage to see a tomato covered Bonbon being dragged across the kitchen by her shirt by a small white dog.
"Haha hahaha haha!" She laughed as she waved her tomato covered arms.
"NYO HO HO! YOU IDIOT DOG, YOU'RE DIRTYING MY KITCHEN!!" Hearing his comment, Bonbon slipped out of her shirt and started chasing the dog alongside Papyrus.
"your sister isn't too shy about getting undressed is she?" Just as Sans said this, the small white dog ran through the opening of the kitchen with not only with a gray shirt in his mouth but also a pair of blue shorts. "uh..."
"Here doggy doggy!!" Called out Bonbon as she passed by butt-naked with a very annoyed looking Papyrus following close by.
"seems like dinner is going to be delayed. why not get another book to pass the time."
"Not gonna help?" Questioned Jasper with a raised eyebrow.
"nah, pap can handle it. that is unless you ran out of books in that bag of yours?" Catching the sly grin across the short skeleton's face, Jasper eyes flared up.
"Never! Jasper Daniels is always prepared for anything!!" Jumping from his seat, Jasper ran back to his bookbag that leaned against the far wall of the living room. As the young boy rummaged around his bag, something that layed on the floor near him caught Sans' eye. Getting up from the couch, Sans walked towards the open book, picking it up from the floor.
A photo album...?
Running his phalanges across the colorful images of the small twins' time as infants, he felt a strange sensation pulsing from within his soul.
They look so small... so fragile...
A feeling he couldn't describe, a lost tenderness that didn't make any sense, he pushed away all those feelings and continued to roam his eyes through the page. In which right away he found himself reaching towards a photo that held an image of their pregnant mother. His phalanges ran across her swollen belly as his soul started to hum. The warm gentleness that emanated from the picture was enough to make him believe that he himself was in it. That he could almost feel himself standing infront of this mother-to-be.
Amazed how anyone could look both strong and gentle at the same time. But also quiet delicate, almost as if the smallest of harm made against her could break her completely. Something about that very concept angered him and scared him. Overall, he could tell that the young mother was quiet beautiful, inside and out. He found it amusing that he was able to get all that from a picture where he couldn't even see the young human's face.
Curious on what their mother looked like, he was about to turn the page when something peaking in the edges caught his attention. For behind one of the twins baby picture were a couple of hidden photos. One photo he noticed showed what seemed to picture of a skeletal hand glowing a bright blue. But before he could try to pry the picture out, the photo album had abruptly closed on him.
"wha-" Looking up, his eyesockets landed on a pair of disproving eyes. That it was Jasper who had closed the album on him and was not happy that he had looked through it. Sans wanted to ask him why he was so mad but his words died in his mouth before he could even utter a sound.
"Brother?" Having retrieved her stolen clothes, Bonbon tackled her brother to the ground. "Hee hee, brother it's time to eat! And! And! We chased the doggy before he broke anything again!!"
"That's amazing sis! Now let us eat!" He posed proudly before putting away the album in his backpack.
Sans was a bit concerned that he might have passed the boundaries against the tiny boy. But throughout dinner, Jasper didn't act any diffrent from how he usually did. Not even minding that it was Bonbon's turn to sleep with Papyrus. The worry that Sans had over ruining the closeness he gained with his tiny guests disappeared; but it only made his curiosity grow. For he barely knew anything about the tiny humans he let in his own home, except the only thing that kept him from even attempting to look through that book was the young boy's stare. A stare that was oddly too familiar to him, for they were like his own.
Cold, judging, and holding so much apprehension and suspicion against him. The same stare he gave you when he first layed his sight on you.
