Chapter 46:
Love
I got the diaper bag filled and I dressed for travel. My baby was going to be found and she was not going to have a single scratch on her. If she did, I wouldn't mind getting a little LV for once. Sans had aided Mom and Papyrus with getting vine free while I packed, and when he came to check on me I was already at the door.
"Whoa there Frisk. We need to plan this out. We don't know where he could be with Arial and we still have Gaster lurking around."
"Sans, my daughter is out there with a plant that goes by the moto, and I quote, 'it's kill or be killed.' I am not letting him hold her for any longer than he already has."
"I get it. But how are you gonna get her back? He's not exactly low on EXP."
I nodded and adjusted the straps on my gloves. "I'll fight. If it's for Arial, I don't mind gaining LV."
Sans shook his head and put himself between the door and I. I knew he was right about needing to think things through, but my instinct was to just find and save her, whatever the cost.
"You're acting a bit like Chara. Do you really wanna risk them taking control when Arial is around?"
My stomach dropped and in the back of my head I could sense Chara's rage boiling, wanting to be released in an explosion of fury. That shut me up. It was hard to accept that my boyfriend was right, but I couldn't danger my daughter anymore. Chara was a worse threat than Flowey for now.
Defeated I dropped the diaper bag. "Then what do I do Sans?
"Right now, we find a way to protect you and locate Arial, Gaster, and Flowey. I'll call Alphys and get her looking through the cameras and then I'll check through the Ruins with Tori. You will stay here with Pap and keep Chara under watch. Okay? We will get this fixed."
He seemed so sure and in control. This was a whole different side of Sans than I was used to seeing. His confidence put me at ease and made me trust that he could do anything he said he could. It was though his laziness was never there, and that he was made for situations like this.
"I love you Sans." I said without hesitation. "I trust that you'll get her back."
His face was tinted with blue as he picked up the dropped bag from the doorstep. He then pulled me into his arms and kissed my forehead.
"I love you too Frisk. I promised to protect any human who fell and passed through those doors. Arial is a part of that now too."
