"Sans, did you really mean it?" I blurted all of a sudden, slightly scaring the skeleton who is currently sitting next to me.


After going to the surface, I went with Toriel since I didn't really want to be alone or go back to the orphanage. Besides, they probably don't even realized I'm gone or maybe they were so relieved they celebrated.

Anyways, after looking at the place the monster decided that the Mt. Ebott is big and unoccupied enough to be their temporary home. It has been three months after going here and I had made progress being the monsters' ambassador.

Humans was surprisingly accepting of monsters and the movies about aliens being locked up by humans were never true. I mean I guessed monsters are not really aliens but they were accepting enough.

Albeit that they were so much in awe the first time they saw Toriel and Asgore, I bet that them being gigantic made it easier for monsters to be accepted.

Even though, most monsters haven't ventured far enough from Mt. Ebott. Making their supposedly temporary home permanent.

Mettaton went to show business but only with the few neighboring towns stating that the monsters would surely miss their idol if he left.

Burgerpants was able to get a job he liked, Paps became a royal guard of the King Asgore and occasionally me since I was still their ambassador with Undyne and Sans was just Sans. Being lazy and all.

But not one of the monsters bother to go far from Mt. Ebott.

I'm not sure if I could call it progress or not.. I believe that even though the humans outnumbered the monster by a lot, monster have their magic and was strong enough to defend themselves. Not that they ever need to, the humans were very accepting after all.

Anyways, as I just finished up talking to some human scientists asking for permission to observe the monster's magic. It was a very long chat about rules and stuffs going back and forth with the monsters and humans. We came to an agreement that humans can only ask the monsters after consulting with the king and the former queen and (this was added by mother Tori) the ambassador and if and only if the monster is okay with it.

I didn't really noticed it at first given that the talks and rules but Sans has been going to our home for a while now. Maybe after a month we've been here? I'm not so sure. Maybe he was just bored and all.

Maybe he's here to see mother.

"Did you really mean it?" I asked again. Mother went to Asgore to talk about something. Well that's what she told me. I bet they were having a heart to heart conversation regarding Asriel being with them yet again in the form of flowey.

Suddenly, I felt bad about Sans wasted trip since mother just left a few minutes ago.

Confused, Sans gestured for me to elaborate my question. "I mean what, kid?" he said after a moment of silence.

There he is again. Calling me a kid.. It was cute at first but then it made me realized that I will just be a kid in his eyes.

I wonder what would happen if somehow Toriel and Sans got together..? Will I be able to handle it?

"Kid, hello?" Sans snapped his fingers to get my attention. I blushed thinking that I must have looked stupid zoning out like that.

I looked at him in the eyes. "I mean when we went to Mettaton's restaurant, you told me that if you haven't made a promise with mother, that I would've been dead." Sans flinched. I ignored it.

"So did you mean it?" I asked softly looking away from him.


It will be over soon. I thought as I was looking ahead to what looked like a grand hotel. I really wanted to talk to mother but I tried so much to call her cell to no avail.

I also wanted to talk to Undyne, Alphys or Paps but I was sure they wouldn't like me talking like I was saying goodbye to them. It would only unsettle them.

At the time, I really wished I have Sans' number at least. I don't think he would mind listening to me even just for a bit.

Coming closer to the hotel's entrance, I saw Sans standing there. I was relieved to find someone I knew in this far away place. Maybe I can get him to have a date with me one last time.

I was so surprised when he was the one who asked me. I was so nervous thinking about what exactly is he thinking, bringing me to a fancy restaurant.

Did he know I like him?

"You'd be dead where you stand" my head was a blur after that. I thought..

I should have thought...

Someone like him would hate me. I mean it was a given that I am not a good person and a human at all. Besides I was the one who kept them from going to the surface after all.

I thought at least he liked me a bit..

I was so disturbed and sad that I didn't even noticed that Sans was gone. The only thought I had after that night was..

He must have like mother a lot..


"So did you?" I asked again when Sans was not answering.

I heard him gulped. I didn't even know how he can do that given that he was a skeleton. I was getting nervous when after a while he still haven't answer me.

"I mean, I-I get it Sans." I stuttered. What am I doing asking him?

Surely he thinks that I would tell mother about it and he didn't want that.

I just blurted it out by chance. I mean I really wanted to know if he did mean it. That would have made this all easy now wouldn't it? I wouldn't have been able to meet the others and certainly wouldn't be able to fall for the skeleton.

And maybe I wouldn't be able to see the one I like hopelessly in love with my adoptive mother. I really would like to help Sans but I can see that mother still loves the king and..

I can't really decide about that right?

It's not that I was or wasn't glad that Toriel still loves Asgore. And that Sans didn't have a chance with her as long as Asgore was around.

I didn't really want to imagine living with Toriel and Sans with them being my parents. I'll probably go out and disappear from their lives.

Sans was uncomfortable, I could tell. I felt horrible.

"I get it. You don't like humans, none of the monsters did. You had a-a war and then got trapped for who knows how long." I reasoned with him. It was only logical, I would imagine so. Though a part of me cringed at the thought of me generalizing everyone.

"Kid.." he started but I interrupted him.

"Obviously, none of you had any good experience with humans and I really doesn't looked harmless enough to any of you" I shifted towards him. What am I doing really?

We were sitting at the couch in the living room. For some reasons, he wanted to wait for mother even after I told him that she went to Asgore.

"That's not what-" he said trying to explain himself but I was on a roll.

"You read me and saw that I was capable of doing bad things." I snorted somewhat angrily. "You knew that I would have done things to all of you and maybe you won't be able to stop it." Tears were appearing in my eyes but I refused to let them fall.

I was not a good person, I stated mentally.

"Hey, kid-" he stopped when he saw me glaring at him.

"I am NOT a kid!" I burst, letting the tears fall.

"I am NOT good! Not Kind! I didn't even know what I was doing most of the time!" I tried my hardest to stop but I can't.

Everything just flowed out of me.

"I didn't mean to consider anyone! I just didn't want anyone to blame me. I just didn't want to make a mistake and have someone say that it was my fault!" I cried harder making me hide my crying ugly face with my hands.

"I didn't want to die and burden anyone of my death. I hate it when anyone says that I am worth it. What worth?" I said softly between sobs.

"How am I worth it if I don't even see it..?"

Sans was looking sadly at me. He then comforted me by making circles on my back.

I most certainly tired of this ambassador thing than I let on. I thought sarcastically.

Geez, and I was supposed to ask him if he like Toriel romantically or not.
