Summary: Misunderstandings happen.
Ebott Ville, Wendell Ebott Hospital, 1 year 7 months after the release of monsters and magic back in the world.
And we are back to Frisk's POV!
"huh? no reaction?" Sans' smile is strained and borderline dangerous. Normal humans would be terrified of him.
Please act like you're shocked, please act like you're shocked, please…
I turn around and to my dismay Wilson has a smug smile and a confident twinkle to his eye...
Which is the complete opposite of what Sans was looking for in the human male.
*"Someone is going to die where they stand~ Welp, at least he is not standing!" Chara gleefully chirps.
No!
I didn't know Sans would be so straightforward with the questioning. I thought they would wait until he is discharged from the hospital before doing anything! Asgore must have sent Sans to try dealing with him.
**"HEY! Asgore was trying to protect us! Just because Asgore wanted to kill him a couple days ago doesn't mean he will send "The Judge" after him!"
I step between them both either way. I'm grateful that we're in a hospital and in public. Sans would not dare cause trouble in "human territory", he knows better than anyone that human-monster relationships are not that great yet.
"well?" The soft tapping of his slippers is heard on the hard tile floor. Somehow, he manages to make it sound menacing.
Despite being right in front of him, Sans ignores my presence and looks straight into Wilson's eyes. It's easy, actually. He just needs to lift his eye-lights a little bit.
Blue eyes stare right back.
"Heh." Wilson chuckles and I know it's all over. "Whatever happened to your, "I'm too lazy to do anything", modus operandi, skeleton?" A sly grin finds its way onto Wilson's face, obviously pleased with his control over the conversation.
"how did you-"
"Know?"
"..." Sans wasn't having it, just raising a brow bone.
"Wild guess." The smirk doesn't leave the scientist's face.
Sans deadpans, "wow man, you're a pretty good liar."
"Hehe they say it takes a good one to know one, so you must be a pretty good one yourself." Wilson is having too much fun with this, but he's really making Sans upset. I bite my lip but stay resolutely in-between them.
"…" Narrowing his eyes Sans tilts his head upwards, posture a little bit more hostile.
**"Ouch…" Chara, although safe since she was a ghost, backed up. I have half a mind to do the same.
Sans doesn't say anything, waiting for Wilson to break down under pressure. They could be shouting at each other and the atmosphere would be less threatening…
**"Frisk…" Chara is making beckoning motions towards her so that I would not be in-between the two.
I'm okay, don't worry. Wilson is the one I'm worried about.
**"Well, if you ask me, it looks like he wants some trouble."
He is not like that. He must be pushing Sans for some reason.
The spirit fell silent after that.
"frisk, go to your mother." Sans asks with a strained smile on his skull.
It was not a question, I noted after a heartbeat. It was an order.
Taking a breath and steeling myself, I say, "No."
"frisk?" The skeleton tries to make sense of my answer, turning slightly to me. I always listen to him when he orders me to do something.
This time it's different.
"I won't go. You two will fight if I go." I stand my ground between them. I know Sans isn't going to harm Wilson, he can only deal 1 damage and as I said, he won't start a battle in a public place.
But words can hurt just as much as attacks.
I held my breath for a couple of minutes waiting for someone to make the next move. What I didn't expect was to hear loud noises coming from the hallway. Sans began to visibly sweat at the sound of a very familiar voice.
"HELLO DOGAMY AND DOGARESSA! IT'S PLEASANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN! IT HAS BEEN 3 MONTHS, 4 DAYS AND 21 MINUTES SINCE THE LAST TIME I SAW YOU AND THE PUPS. I HOPE THEY ARE OVER THE CHEW AND BITE PHASE!"
*Excited yet apologetic barks*
"OH DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT! EVERYONE WANTS A PIECE OF THE GREAT PAPYRUS BUT THEY TOOK IT TO A NEW LEVEL THAT MY BROTHER AND HIS AWFUL SENSE OF HUMOR WOULD BE PROUD OF." Papyrus closed the conversation with the married couple (and proud parents of five beautiful and fluffy puppies) as he entered the room.
"you say it because they literally took a piece out of you, right?" Sans relaxed as soon as Papyrus took a step inside.
**"How can he change his mood in a heartbeat?" I shrugged mentally.
*Le sigh*
opens
"…THAT EXACTLY, DEAR BROTHER."
Sans face softens at his brother's quirks. Aww, they love each other so much!
"IN OTHER NEWS I'M EXCITED TO MEET FRISK'S FRIEND... SO!" At this he finally turns towards us, "HELLO MR. WILSON! LET ME INTRODUCE MYSELF."
Hehe, that pose should be the tall skeleton's trademark by now. I will never grow tired of it.
"IT IS I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, CHEF DISCIPLE OF ASGORE'S CLONE, TRAINEE OF A PRESTIGIOUS RESTAURANT AND FORMER TRAINEE OF THE NOW DISBANDED ROYAL GUARD!" His scarf moves during the whole speech with nonexistent wind blowing it. He can't look any more cooler than that.
"It's a real pleasure to finally meet you Papyrus. If you wish, you can call me just by my first name," the scientist answers with light amusement.
**"Ok, that's enough mood swings for me. Now he wants to be a perfect gentleman. Yeah, sure." Chara rolls her eyes and floats next to me now that the tension was gone.
Well he is a gentleman after all.
"OKAY WILSON!" Papyrus smiles and the sun beams coming from the window are outshined by his bright personality.
Warmth seeps from Chara's link and I know for a fact that she loves him deeply just as much as I do.
**"Shut it…" She blushes at the shared sentimentality. Who wouldn't, though. I feel my cheeks warming.
"Oh? You still carry a torch for him, Frisk?" Wilson now watched me with keen eyes, his smile widening.
"Carry a torch?" I ask, unsure of the meaning.
"Oh yes, excuse me, that would be the equivalent now of a "crush" on someone."
Everyone present turns towards me and I can feel the stares burning holes into my face...
Aaaaaahhhh Wilsoooon! Why?
"Hehe o-of course I don't! We um, are just friends and tha-that's fine!"
Dang it. I'm stuttering like an anime girl speaking about the senpai she wants to be noticed by.
"THAT IS INDEED A GOOD DESCRIPTION OF OUR RELATIONSHIP, FRISK! BUT I WOULD ADD 'BEST' BEFORE FRIEND!" He could have stabbed us right into our SOULs and it would have hurt less.
**"He best-friend zoned you, not me! I still have a chance =) " The spirit rubs salt in my wound and oh, how it hurts to be betrayed this way by her.
Of course Wilson would find it amusing, and now he's chuckling behind his hand.
The traitor!
Good thing mom has taught me well…
loads
**"You can stop now, Frisk. He is laughing harder." Chara sympathetically pats my shoulder, shaking her head slowly.
I do as she says but my dignity has been wounded beyond repair.
Papyrus does not get any of this, thankfully. You could see the question marks floating in the air above his skull.
"…VERY WELL! NOW THAT THAT IS CLARIFIED AND OVER WITH. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK SANS, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING HOME?" Tapping is heard, this time from Papyrus' red boots.
Oh yeah, the Judge is a figure in the underground but no one is allowed to know who holds the title.
Sans weighs his options, before deciding on an adequate excuse, "… yeah, i saw tori speaking to asgore before i went so... she told me to take care of the kid. i'm just saying hi to the new guy, bro." He lied. You know, like a liar.
"O...KAY DEAR BROTHER, I BELIEVE YOU. I'M SURE TORIEL IS THE BEST DECISION MAKER WE KNOW SO YOU ARE FORGIVEN TO BE HERE INSTEAD OF HOME." Papyrus nods before smiling at Sans.
You are too good for this world Papyrus.
Sans seems to know that too, saying "hehe thanks bro."
"OH RIGHT. SANS LOOK WHAT I FOUND DURING MY DAILY MORNING JOGGING!"
From his storage comes an eye attached to a bone, or was it a bone attached to an eye? It's a matter of perspective I guess. It has little horns and fur that looks like a small collar.
"EYE BONE!" Both Wilson and I scream in unison when they see what Papyrus has in his hands.
The skeletons jump a little at the outburst. Wilson jumps out of the bed he was sitting on and runs towards Papyrus, and even I get closer, too.
Wilson looks ecstatic!
"WILSON YOU'RE ALIVE!" The eye shouts back and waits to be grabbed by the glad scientist.
*Ting!*
I see a blue light coming from Wilson's chest before he is flung towards a wall like a fly to a windshield.
Almost instantly the wall is engulfed with wispy trails of shadows that cushioned the scientist's collision. Nonetheless, there was a distinctive sound of bone breaking and a grunt from the hospital patient.
Wilson's arm bends in an odd way from where it collided to the wall.
**"OH SHI-OOT! FRISK, DON'T LOOK!" Chara tried her best to cover my eyes but the funny thing is that with semi translucent hands, there is not too much she can do.
"WHY DID YOU DO THAT, YOU MONSTER?" Eye Bone is now shouting at the smaller skeleton and Papyrus looks too shocked to say even a word.
"What's happening here?!" A human doctor enters the room running with Dogamy and Dogaressa right behind him.
"I fell from my bed." Wilson doesn't look up from where he lies on the floor, clutching his newly broken bone and winces at the bloodied stain already forming from the previous almost healed wound on his side.
*questioning barks*
"But sir… you are too far from the bed. Did these monsters do something to you? Because if they did, I can call the police." The doctor stated while tending to the gentleman's arm. He's obviously unafraid of voicing his distaste of my skeletal and dog friends.
"I said. I fell. From. The bed." Wilson slowly stated, the tiniest hint of hostility edging into his voice. The middle aged doctor decided to shut his mouth at the threatening posture the other male took.
**"Frisk please, breath… one… two… three…" I could barely hear her as my heartbeats grew faster. I can feel the air thickening.
"Frisk dear, calm down. I'm fine. Can I entrust Eye Bone to you while the good doctor puts a cast on my arm?" Wilson looks towards me, worried more for how I felt than his broken arm.
No sound comes from my mouth, so instead I nod with tears threatening to spill from my eyes. I force my lungs to take more air.
"Good." He tries to smile at me even with his pale face from the pain of both wounds.
"Can I ask that all visitors be dismissed from the room, the patient needs to get his arm reset." The man in white,says though uncomfortable calling the monsters visitors..
The married couple give a bark of acceptance and the taller skeleton sweeps me up from where I stand. A good thing too, I felt like I was about to faint. He takes me outside where two very worried boss monsters await for our arrival.
