I'm almost caught up on this story, there is only one more chapter left to post before I start posting new chapters. I also have a one-shot Underfell edition. Just basically the first chapter, I will also post this as well if people are interested.

He could feel the tension coming from Sans' room, so thick it was seeping out from his door. Right now it was best to leave Sans on his own, but Papyrus wasn't going to let him stew all day. Papyrus got even more worried when he saw that Alexi wasn't at their window. Just like him, they seemed to stick to a pretty tight morning schedule. Did they catch his cold when they came to visit him? Maybe he should return the favor and make them something as well. Though with something going on with Sans, Alexi's disappearance was a little too coincidental. He frowned but continued his day.

During his workout session with Undyne, the fish monster sent him home for being 'too distracted'. Most days that would annoy him but since he was worried about two people he took the offer. When Papyrus got home he headed over to Alexi's place and knocked. No one answered and he couldn't even hear any movement from inside. It was times like this he really wished he had their phone number. After a minute he gives up and headed home, deciding to check on Sans first.

He got everything ready and soon was knocking on Sans door to wake him up.

No Answer.

"Sans, it's time for breakfast." There were some light sounds after he spoke. Sans was at least awake if not out of bed.

"Not hungry paps. I'll eat later." Papyrus frowned at that answer. Something was really wrong, they always ate breakfast together. He wasn't going to let Sans stew in his room for a minute longer. Because if he did, well, Sans might not come out for a while. So he barged in anyway, Sans sat up startled as he walked into the room.

"Sans, come out of your room. Even if you are not hungry you can't stay here all day. I don't know what's wrong but let's talk about it okay?" It took a little bit longer than he liked but, in the end, Sans agreed and actually left his room. He headed towards the living room with Papyrus following right behind.

"What's wrong, Sans?" Sans sat on the couch and shrugged. Papyrus sighed. "Today has been quite strange. Both you and Alexi seemed to be quite off. They weren't even at their window today. I hope I didn't get them sick." When he said their name, Papyrus saw Sans flinch- something had happened. "Sans, what happened?"

"What do you mean, Paps?" He was sweating again.

"You flinched when I said their name. You're acting suspicious and they were absent this morning. What happened."

Sans sighed and Papyrus got more nervous. Alexi and he were just barely securing their friendship, they hadn't even exchanged numbers. What did Sans do?

"So, it's just the human…

Papyrus cut him off. "Alexis."

Sans nodded. "Right, so they're strange. Being hot and cold with you. Being friendly sometimes but distant others. I just wanted to talk to them. So when they were coming home I kinda asked if we could go somewhere to talk. They agreed and I took them to Grillby's."

"How did you ask them, what did you mean when they were coming home?"

Sans played with the strings of his hoodie. "Well I waited till I saw them come home and I popped over to them after they got out of their car. Didn't think they would answer the door for me."

Papyrus stared at his brother as he tried to piece the scene together. "So you cornered them as they got out of their car. Then asked to take them somewhere and please tell me you didn't shortcut your way to Grillby." Sans pulled the string of the hoodie together to hide his face. "Sans! Did you even explain what you were going to do?" Papyrus watched as his brother shook his head."So not only did you use magic on a human but an unsuspecting one. Let alone that human was my friend. They get nervous about situations that put them in uncomfortable situations. Alexi didn't flat out say it, but I think they might have an Anxiety Disorder."

"That would explain the panic attack."

"The What?!" Papyrus practically screamed at his brother. Who so nonchalantly dropped that on them. He sat down, shocked, needing to calm down.

"Yeah, right after I shortcut us to Grillby's they kinda had a panic attack." Sans was out of his hoodie but was looking anywhere but at him.

"Please tell me you at least took them home." His brother was sweating and he knew the answer.

"I..uh.. panicked and shortcut myself back to my room."

Papyrus had never felt more disappointed in his brother than he did now. He never felt angrier. "So you left a human having a panic attack in an unknown location with people they don't know. I..I just. I don't know what to say to you Sans. Did they even get home?" Sans nodded and he felt a bit relieved that Alexi made it home okay.

"Grillby said Ling brought them home once they were able to get them calm. Says I'm banned for at least a month or whenever Alexi forgives me. Whichever comes last." Which made sense, a panicking human in a monster run establishment wouldn't be good for the business.

"I need to check on them." He stood up but Sans grabbed his arm.

"Tell the kid I'm sorry. I just wanted to talk to them."

"No Sans." Sans flinched and let go. "I can't even begin to understand why you thought that forcing them to come with you was a good idea. I'm quite mad at you right now Sans. You will be the one to apologize and then explain yourself." Papyrus paused, right now would not be the best time. He wasn't even sure when a good time would be. "Not now, but later on. I will not be your scapegoat so you can hide away from this talk."

"I didn't force them. They said sure!" Sans said trying to muster up some defense.

"You cornered them when they got out of their car, do you really think they could have said no? Let alone the fact you didn't even tell them you were teleporting them!" There was nothing Sans could say to that. "I'm heading over there now, eat the food before it gets cold."

He didn't look back at Sans as he left the house.
