Day 28
The next day, Frisk was sleeping on the couch like a bum, and she woke up to the sound of low volume music. She stretched and sat up from the couch as her hair was in a puffy mess. Although Embodiments didn't need to sleep unless they wanted to, Elements needed rest, and sleeping was the best way to do so. Frisk followed the music on her tiptoes, as she peeked into the kitchen. She saw that Curtain was cooking breakfast for both of them, but she was also spinning around and moving her feet to the beat of the song.
Entering the kitchen while hiding a big smile, Frisk stood in the doorway. Curtain did another spin, and when she saw Frisk in the doorway, she froze. During their momentary stare down, Curtain paused the music on her phone, and then she sheepishly smiled.
"M-Morning Frisk," Curtain said, with a little wave of her spatula.
Frisk couldn't help but smile and ask, "You've been practicing to dance with Sans, haven't you Curtain?"
Curtain blushed as she rubbed the back of her head, which made Frisk giggle because that was her way of answering yes.
Frisk and Curtain hanged out at the house for a while until noon, and then Sans came over. He stood with them until it was time to go to Outer-view restaurant for his date with Curtain.
At Outer-view restaurant, Curtain and Sans began dancing as Frisk watched from her seat, which was at their same table this time. They were both in such light-hearted moods, that Frisk was flummoxed at first, but she couldn't help but smile at them.
The first few songs were slow-dancing songs, but they gradually became faster. Sans and Curtain had their hands interlocked by their fingers, while Sans kept his other hand above her waist as Curtain kept her other hand on his shoulder. They started as the songs did, from slow to faster steps, and they kept their eyes mostly on each other, not having to look down at their feet this time.
As they danced, they talked:
"Well, now there's only three days left. Time flies when you're having fun I suppose," Sans said.
"Yeah, it does. It was really fun, and informative too. I wish it could have lasted longer," Curtain said with a half-smile,, as the music became slower.
"If only you would have said a few months," Sans said with a small smile, as he dipped Curtain near the end of the song.
'...or forever,' the two thought simultaneously, as they slowly stood up straight while the gap between their faces was shortening.
Frisk's eyes and mouth widened in shock as her voice was locked in her throat seeing Sans and Curtain about to close their eyes and make contact, teeth to lips.
However, they realized what was happening, as their eyes widened and they pulled back and looked away from one another. Frisk shook her head to relieve herself from her torpor, but she held an incredulous expression as to why would Curtain almost kiss Sans, and why would Sans pull away too. It was a lot for her to take in, but Frisk snapped back to a calmer state of mind when she noticed that Sans and Curtain were heading towards the table with nervous expressions and occasionally rubbing the back of their head or neck.
"Come on kid. We're going," Sans said to Frisk, although he wasn't looking at her.
Frisk stood up, and she noticed that Curtain wasn't exactly looking at her or Sans either, but she noticed that Sans' face was all blue, while Curtain's face almost looked purple. Sans grabbed both of their hands and teleported straight to the front of Curtain's house. Frisk followed Curtain to the front of her house, and then Curtain ushered her into the house. Curtain turned back towards Sans and said,
"I'm sorry. I just... I do care about you, Sans, but..."
Sans walked over to Curtain and gently placed his hand on her cheek and said,
"Curtain, it's alright... Tomorrow I'm going to do extra work so that we could spend the day after together at the festival. I'll let you know if I'll be gone all day tomorrow... just... let's have fun when we go, okay?"
Curtain slowly nodded, as he moved his hand from her cheek and turned around. As he was walking away, Curtain placed her hand on her cheek. Sans opened a portal, and he looked at her one more time with a smile, as she smiled back. After Sans went through the portal, Curtain entered her home as Frisk ran from the doorway so that she didn't know that she was listening-in from sheer nosy-ness.
That night, Curtain had a hard time sleeping as she thought about Sans, and Sans stood at the balcony of his home as he thought about Curtain.
This was a short, but very important day. I've been waiting a while to finally complete this one.
See ya soon.
