Underground Spirits

Chapter 3: One Embarrassing Moment

Sans' Point of View"

Come on, ya sorry sack of bones! Keep it tagether!

"What do you think the little ones will want tonight, Sans?"

"Come on, Precious." Try ta keep it natural, bonehead. "Ya know what they like. Tiny Terror likes the sweets and m'bro likes whatever ya make 'em."

"While true, I asked from a selected list I gave you." I saw the human woman's eyes narrow at me. That rich color like chocolate.

Didn't think she meant it, but I saw her nibble just lightly on 'er finger in her ponderin'. My soul thudded against m'ribs and struggled to fight a blue hue from taking over my bright bones. She'd notice in a second…

"Sorry Precious." It was a bit of a cooler day out, so I got away with m'hood over my skull. That took part of the visual away from 'er noticin', but she still could feel my emotions… "Been a long day, tired and all that shit. Say it again for me? I'm focused this time."

She raised one o'er eye brows at me. Seeing her entire eye focused on me, I really had ta hold it back. I was good at hidin' my emotions, but not all the time… sometimes… they slipped through the cracks.

Around us I could hear the light chatter of others, even if I ignored it for the most part. Angel had dragged me off ta the grocery store while Frisk was off with Maria's family and Pap was workin' an extra shift. I was able ta come back early before I was dragged away.

The people of Snowdin were starin' at us. I could feel their gazes on m'jacket covered bones. Some watched with fascination, others with worry. The girls had only been there a month and only had a few people that had accepted them yet. It was still so new ta us all

"I was asking about some fish for the night." Her gaze was hesitantly removed for a moment while she showed me a few prepackaged items for the next couple of meals she wanted ta make. "I can't remember if you said your brother and you liked any. I wanted to do a baked stuffed haddock with crab meat stuffing, sauce, the whole thing. Another thing I wanted to offer would be a barbeque night where I did ribs and roasted veggies with it in the oven, but those take most of the day to get them to the right texture and taste, so I kinda need to know in the next ten minutes if that's what you guys could/would eat."

"Shit… sorry 'bout that Precious, but both options sound good." I took a second ta actually pay attention and think. "Don't think m'bro had much experience with fish. Besides Undyne, if ya count her?"

I could almost feel the irritation before she spoke. "Sans."

"Sorry, sorry." Hands held up in defense, the woman before me huffed while keepin' a careful eye on m'self. "Really, sorry, it's been a day."

"Is there something you're not telling me?"

"Nah, Angel, nothin' at all!"

But I only felt the irritation in her soul grow. "I don't believe you for a second."

Before I coulda stopped the woman, she used one o'er chains ta grab the back of m'hood. I couldn't teleport away fast enough before it came down and she saw the color in m'bones.

Ah fuck…

"I knew you must not have been feeling well." Angel marched up ta me. I couldn't escaped even if I wanted ta. Her magical chains had a hold o'me and there was no escapin' those things. Teleportin' was outta the question. Didn't have a choice but ta suffer through that one…

This ain't gonna go well…

"Sorry Angel." With a hand ta the back o'my skull, I rubbed if carefully. Couldn't exactly look 'er in the eye… "Didn't wanna worry ya."

"You'll worry me more if you tell me nothing, and you know that." The sharp tone she took with me was somethin' I didn't get ta see very often… What was it about seein' 'er get so fiery that made my soul jump? Even if it was directed at m'self, I enjoyed it. The look on her face. Was it bad that I thought it was cute?

Ah shit, bonehead. Cool it!

My thoughts were gonna be the end of me…

But I wasn't expectin' the woman to hurry up ta m'n put a hand to m'skull. The top was where her cool fingers sat after messin' around with all the packages of meat…

God, stop thinkin' so sexually, ya perv!

"You're warm but you don't have a fever, even though your face is incredibly blue." She bit her lip in the middle o'that and I struggle ta hold back a mangled scream. "What in the world is going on Sans?"

"Ah… Angel, its nothin'-"

"Tell me that one more time and I'm calling your brother."

Ah shit. No way I wanna have little bro comin' around. He'll know instantly what's up with me, can't have ya knowin', Precious.

Now ta lie out o'my glorified boney ass…

"Alright, alright… I… uh… haven't told ya yet… but I wear out easy from little ta no work…" Carefully lookin' at the human woman, she said nothin' 'n waited for me ta finish. I sighed, telling her a partial truth ta hide away something else o'a secret. "I was born with a hellva lot o'magic, but no physical strength. Part o' the reason I teleport all the time. M'magic comes back with sleep, but ah… if I don't get said sleep, I'ma tired as fuck…"

I saw Angel gettin' a little more ruffled up as she watched me, but in a few moments…. I saw her settle down slightly. Shoulders slouched a bit, and her feelin's from 'er soul weren't so intense.

"I realize you may not want to discuss your medical issues with me Sans, but don't you think it'd be wise for me to know even a little bit to help you?" Angel sighed quite angrily, and I shrunk a bit under 'er gaze. "For goodness' sake, I wouldn't have brought you out shopping if you needed sleep that badly."

"Yeah… but… still worried about ya runnin' inta someone ya shouldn't."

"Sans, you said so yourself that Undyne was really the only person who came out this way. And more people from other areas don't often come by except for a winter fair you said came up around Christmas. We still have another three months before that." God damnit… hated it how she was provin' me right with m'own words… "There was absolutely no reason for you to come out today, was there? I won't ask the reason, but you're going home for a nap. Can you teleport home?"

"Uh… not really?"

"That worn out huh?" Angel looked irritated, but I coulda felt it more in'er soul that she was worried for me rather then anythin'. "Can you stand being here a few more minutes? I'll pay for the groceries I have and we'll head home. I can come back out later for more."

"Nah… finish up yer shoppin'. If ya need more time-"

"Sans."

Yeah, that was a warnin' tone if I ever heard one…

"Okay, okay. Just… uh… can I make a special request for tonight?"

Angel paused in whatever she wanted ta say. I saw her think carefully over 'er words before she settled her hand back on the shopping cart 'n looked at me from an angle. "I might be able to, depending on what it is."

"Well… us skeletons normally have thin's with lots o'milk for our bones for energy 'n shit. Calcium rich. I was a strange one that didn't like normal flavors, so Mum had ta make special recipes for me. Made me eat a lot o'cheese, yogart 'n milk. Sometimes beans, soy 'n crap. Could ya make those a batch a yer special mac with cheeses that'll help get m'energy back? Pap'll love it too, or if ya could do a dessert like that or somethin', it would help us both."

"I wish you had said something sooner." She sighed. She didn't exactly let go o'er irritation, but she was calmin' down and believed my truthful, yet not the actual thing wrong with me, statement. "I'll try to make more dishes that have calcium in them so you'll get more energy, but you need to communicate with me if you've had a bad night sleep or a bad day where you have no energy. Understand?"

She was pokin' at m'ribs the entire time she was doin' that. Her nose was almost touchin; m'nosehold 'n struggled not ta stumble back. When she seemed ta think she got 'er point across, she pulled back. "In order to do your special request. I have to pick up a few more things."

"That's fine!" Mighta said that a bit too quickly… but a solution came ta me fast. "I can sleep in the cart."

"The cart- wait what? Really?"

"Come on, Precious. Ya know I can sleep just 'bout anywhere." And just ta prove the point, I pushed her items gently ta the inside o'the cart. I settled in there with legs 'n arms over the edges. Skull tipped down against m'ribs

"Oh my goodness…"

"See~" Just ta prove m'point. I yawned, not even botherin' ta hide it behind anythin'. "I can nap here while ya shop. Take the cart home with ya. Clerk knows we do this all the time when I'm shoppin' with Pap. He just brings it back after he gets me 'n the groceries home or I teleport it back once I've had sleep."

'Er face was so stunned while I did that. I saw 'er raise an eyebrow at me. I pulled m'hood back over m'skill so the lights weren't so bright. Talkin' about the different subject already was calmin' me down so I wasn't so… horny…

I saw an exasperated sigh leave 'er before she took hold of the cart again. Angel continued on with her shoppin' once more, grabbin' the items I requested for m'bro and I, but also ta give me a bit more time with that amazin' lady…

Jesus bonehead… keep it in your pants…

So, I sat there in the cart, people hardly paid much attention as they'd seen me in stranger places sleepin' around the underground. Their attention actually was pulled away from us after our little stunt in the middle o'the meat isle. I noticed Angel givin' me sideways glances while she picked up items here and there. With another armful loaded inta the cart, my human roommate I felt rummage inta her purse for the money I'd given her earlier on. Granted, she paused and sighed.

"Sorry Sans, I need a little more money. Do you have another twenty gold?"

Still half out of it, I just rotated a bit to expose the pocket that did indeed have money. "Front…"

I was actually a bit tired then in those moments after lettin' Angel cart m'lazy ass around. My partner in shoppin' crime I could hear sigh before I felt movement in the area. Her hand touched a bit lower in that pocket against me then I was thinkin' she would. I shot awake with a gasp and held m'ribs in m'surprise. I turned wildly to look at her seein' that she, the cashier 'n a few others were all watchin' with wide eyes.

Even she showed a tinge of red in 'er cheeks while she held out a hand, lookin' away. "Please just hand me another twenty."

"Uh… yeah… one sec."

Fuckin' damn it, bonehead! Ya really fucked up now!

I hurried ta reach inta my pocket 'n grab the money for her. Angel took it quickly, paid the cashier, before hurryin' outa that store. I didn't think I'd seen Angel move so fast in all the time I'd know her before we ended up back at the house. She unlocked the door with her own set of keys. Managed to get the cart, myself, 'n 'er inside the door.

"Do… you need help getting to bed?"

"Nah… I'm good."

Floppin' outta the cart, I hardly waited for a reply from 'er before landin' on the ground. Ignorin' the hard landin', I raced up ta m'room and slammed the door shut. I breathed loudly as I sunk ta the floor. I felt over where her fingers had gently touched through the fabric of m'jacket 'n damn it… it was really hard to hold back a moan.

I really was a sick fuck for even thinkin' I'd do it all over again for that one embarrassin' moment…

Witch's Note:

Alright! Another chapter out and going! And this one perhaps was a lot of sweet and nicer compared to last week! We have Raspberries123 for this little beauty! After all, what would a story of mine be without Angel and Sans flirting or lusting after one another?! XD

Oh well, but anyway, how about some reviews?!

Thechaosmaster: Yeah, this is a hell of a chapter, isn't it Chaos?! That's what's so lovely about this story, a lot of the stuff I get to write for you folks now is stuff that happened behind the scenes so we don't to see the gritty shit or aftermath of a lot of decisions or issues!

And just look at this mess of a gem! We get our romance! We get our laughter! We get our embarrassment all in one go!

But Mystic is super excited about the nick name you gave her, and very much approves of it. Don't you Sis?

Mystic Girl: (She nods her head very enthusiastically while enjoying a fine meal and drink after a long week. Somewhat ignoring me)

Me: Oh shit! I bothered her and Mystic Man on their dinner date!

Shadow8Phantom: Shadow! Lovely to see you again as well! And perhaps it was a bit short of a break, but with stuff already written and what not… welp, you know how eager Mystic Girl can be.

Mystic Girl: Excuse you!

Me: But in all honesty, this was planned by both of us for what dates we'd come back, giving us just enough time for a break and also to take care of life things. The next story I think will be a longer break or something like that.

Oh, but you have a story of your own to put out soon? Oh, do let me know when that comes out, I'd love to check that out! You've always been so kind, but shown constructive criticism along the way of our work, perhaps we could do the same for you?

MysticBoywastaken: (The only thing that can be heard first of all was a loud smack to the back of Mystic Girl's head.)

Mystic Girl: Oww! Okay! I know I deserved that, but seriously? You hit harder than a normal person!

Me: (I only glare at my best friend.)

Mystic Girl: I seriously! Really seriously didn't mean to make him feel bad! I didn't know that stuff was going on!

Me: (Still I continued to glare at her.)

Mystic Girl: I'm sorry! What else do you want from me?!

Me: Who are you saying sorry to?

Mystic Girl: I'm sorry Mystic Boy! Really, I didn't mean to make you feel like that! Don't do that bad stuff! Please don't!

Me: (I took pity on my best friend at that point and sighed) We're both really sorry that you had those issues and felt that way Mystic Boy. That was not either of our intentions. We are incredibly happy to have you come back and enjoy our chapters with us. We only want you to have fun and enjoy yourself here. So please, try your best to do so and I'll take care of your… captain.

(Of course, I looked at her with a glare that nearly burst into flames while I forced my hand on her shoulder. She near shrieked as she tried to get away from me.)

River: Oh my! Welcome back River! And we're very excited to show you all these special little pieces that we've been working on while gone! I hope you like the other two chapters that have been posted recently too! We've got so much still to upload and for you to enjoy.

Alright! Now we made it to the end! Or at least this chapter! We'll have another amazing chapter for you next week! So don't you dare go too far away! Mystic Girl and I'll be waiting!

Love you all and see you next week!
