There. The grass under their feet was gone and the darkness was the only thing around them. It was not for long like that. Gaster moved forward ahead of his Chara allowing the void to swallow him. The darkness clinging to him like a blanket.
"That was fun." Frisk's Chara hummed. "Stay determined."
"Stay determined." Said a voice from behind making one Chara turn around to see another Chara. Frisk was not moving, frozen in a moment. Something was coming closer and not letting go of them. But the Chara by Frisk side didnt notice it, her eyes were on the doppleganger.
"Who are you?"
"Howdy! I am Chara." Said the Chara holding a broken soul. The Chara holding the knife stared at it, as if it was the first time they saw a soul. The knife was raised. It tip pointed towards the white heart shape.
"That... that is a monster soul."
"Duh, yeah."
"I searched all of void for it... Whoever you are give it to me! " And the Knife Chara shot towards the soul Chara. Slashing at them, but the soul Chara simply avoided the first attack. They both will know exactly how the other moves and thinks. For a stranger it would nearly appear as if they danced the dance of life and death for years.
Gaster form slowly grow out from the darkness wrapping his long bony hands around Frisk from behind. Resting his skull on top of the soft hair. He started softly talking. Working the magic of words and intent. Explaining and saying the right things,informing the kid about the time on the surface they had missed out on. Gaster knew behind him Knife Chara was attacking while the chara holding his soul was avoiding the hits.
"You cannot douge for ever, ask Sans he knows!"
The soul Chara jumped away not responding to the jab, leading the knife Chara further away from where Gaster was talking with Frisk. Both Charas were determined.
But luck does run out. It run out quicker. The Knife Chara slashed aiming for the soul Chara leg. The cut causing the soul chara to lose balance and fall over. In the void there was no up,no down,no ceiling or floor. But in this fight there was a floor that they both imagined. Soul Chara was on this floor looking up at the knife raised above their head.
Soul Chara was ready to throw herself to the side the moment the knife starts to go down.
It didnt.
"...No...You are a distraction." Said the Knife Chara and panic flooded her face, as realization settled in. "No! Frisk!" The knife Chara turned around and sure enough Around Frisk was a monster wrapped. Frisk was crying and shaking.
"Frisk!" Knife Chara was throwing herself towards the monster. "What are you doing to Frisk!" The soul Chara could feel from the soul in their hand that Gaster needed more time. It was a instinct that she slashed with the soul just like the other Chara would with her knife.
"Stay away from them!"
"Stay away from them!"
Both Chara screamed in unison, and the knife hit a wall of bones that sprung out the darkness to protect them, instead the black back of the monster wrapped around Frisk. "What?!... Bones..." The knife Chara turned around to see the soul holding Chara blink in surprise at the soul in their hand. There was a big grin growing on soul Chara face. One that told that now they had a weapon and their opponents should better start running. BUt the grin failed to hit the mark for knife Chara as her focus was placed on something else.
"...That isnt his soul..."
"No." Another flurry of bones was sent towards knife Chara, forcing them to jump away. "Lets see you dance for me!"
Knife and bone was colliding again and again. Neither Chara stopping their assault, their attacks. Both starting to fall in a routine, neither able to hit the other, yet determined to not stop trying. Soul Chara felt the soul in their hand straining under her intent. The magic used in the void was easier to use, but the reserve were still fastly depleting.
"How long will you keep this up. You are weak." Taunted the knife Chara. "You arent determined enough." Another knife slash, another jump to the side.
"I am. The problem is in your determination!" That hit a cord as the glares were nearly electric between them. Their intents colliding like two waves. Anywhere but the void that would have destroyed everything between them. The soul pulsed, so close it whispered to the soul Chara. Just a bit longer.
It was time to end it.
Both Chara were thinking the same as they throw them self at each other. Neither planning to avoid the other attack.
"I am determined to not give up!"
The knife holding Chara screamed just as the Soul holding Chara screamed back.
"I am determined to move on!"
The knife and bone never colliding, never ending their fated clash. The collision of determination that would have destroyed both of them, as a third voice cut through the darkness. "I BELIEVE IN YOU."
The darkness exploded as Frisk made their own decision. The decision to quit. To leave it be.
Outside Frisk has suddenly stepped away from everyone. Both hands gripping on their head as the waves of determinations were colliding inside them. A echoing whisper talking to them. The kid didnt respond to the voices of the worried monsters. Papyrus was staring at them as Tori was softly shaking them.
He was realizing something was changing. The unshaken hope he was holding in the human to do the right thing was now even stronger. Kneeing in front of the human he gently wrapped his bone arms around the shaking frame and pulled them up in his arms, against his battle body. Frisk body was shaking, tears falling from their eyes.
"I BELIEVE IN YOU!" The skeleton yelled from the top of his lungs, which Sans would have made a pun out. If he could read minds that is.
Something broke. It felt like a balloon exploded all around them as a strong wind blowed over them. Papyrus was shielding the little body in his arms as the violent winds were going over them. When all calmed down the monsters noticed it was dark outside. In front of them down the path was a lot of knocked over cameras and other instruments.
Sans poped beside his brother."paps you okay?! what happened?"
The skeleton in question looked up to his shorter brother and grinned wide and bright. "I do not know!" He was beaming with happiness and joy. " But I the great Papyrus have protected the little human. See they are napping now."
And indeed Frisk was out cold in Papyrus arms. Sans was shaking staring at the human and then at his brother. "you are the coolest,bro."
"I w-w-wonder who put those cameras t-there. I-I didnt see them a minute ago." The scientist in the group couldnt help but poke the short circulated instruments, concluding the ...whatever it was, was the reason the equipment was burn out.
"Its dark we should try to walk to the town. Frisk needs to sleep in a proper bed." Tori declared and started to lead them. Papyrus jumping to be a step behind the queen. Well she didnt made more than two steps when two dogs jumped out the bushes and barked pointedly showcasing for the monsters were not allowed to go any further.
They clasp their teeth loudly going for bites on the skeleton legs, causing both brothers to jump away from the aggressive dogs.
"No worries! I have a plan!" Papyrus summoned a bone attack waved it in front for the barking dogs and throw it. The dogs gave the flying bone a brief glance before they both ignored it.
"Thats it I am beating those mutts up!" The royal guard announced. A spear in hand but it never got to be cast as a voice came from the bushes.
"WingDings! Behave!" Both dogs instantaneously sat down on the ground and yawned boredly, like they were not trying to rip limbs away from the monsters in front of them. Gaster was aware that his voice echoed just a bit and that he didnt look all that well. Blood was going down his arm and his clothes looked like they were ripped and half burned. As he was moving closer. All the monster eyes on him, the slight limp he had completely ignored as he was grinning like an idiot.
They were looking at him. Seeing him.
The first one to snap from staring at the strange man in front of them was Asgore. "You are hurt. Can we offer assistance?" The king softly asked. Gaster felt himself shaking. The pain from being thrown half across the place catching up with him.
Undyne readying to protect the king from any outlash the human may do. "Yes. ." the doctor managed to answer, Tori sprung into action.
Gaster was barely holding himself to not become emotional. There it was. They were seeing him. Hearing him. Sans was staring at him with a calculating gaze, the type he would have when he was ready to fight and protect. Papyrus was having a tint of seriousness in his joy filled eyes.
The relief of magic flooding his body, wiped Gaster mind clean. He leaned into the furry hands, knowing the magic oh so well. The familiarity joyful to a point he felt like the happiness would break out of him in a fit of giggles... Maybe not all happiness was his own. He enjoyed the healing touch to his soul. The determination gently poking him to show it still was there.
"I am sorry. Your soul still feels hurt..." His queen started to apologize. Gaster knew why. She healed so many shards he could feel the number dropped to an one digit. She couldnt heal the rest. That didnt matter. His own magic now would take care of it over time.
"Oh please, no need to apologize. Tibia honest I goat to admit that I never felt healthier in my life. " Which was completely true if he counted only the human life, and Tori chuckled while Payouts loudly groaned. Sans suppressed an amused chuckle. So worth it.
"OH NO! THE HUMANS ARE LIKE THAT TOO!"
He could have just sat there for a long time. Maybe he could nap? Yes a long nap with them making it a challenge to stay asleep sounded like heaven. His job finally done. Everyone was on the surface. His mind nearly slipped away into a dose, but Sans didnt let him.
"so, who are you buddy? i am sans the skeleton." Sans was offering him his hand for a handshake. Gaster knew the whoopee cushion was in it. He was still grinning like a maniac from happiness. His grin may actually matching up to Papyrus happy grin right about now.
He was about to shake the skeleton hand but his mind pulled a brief blank. What would he say was his name? He could exactly say: 'Hey friends I am Gaster, the first royal scientist, I grow up as Asgores best friend, and build the core and then fall apart in my creation and got erased from time to have my existence rewritten like a human. Oh and did I mention that I am only alive because your long believed dead child determination, which I extracted without your knowing and injected into me, refused to let me die?' Yeah... that would go over super. He spend way too much time on working on freeing them that he forgot to think what he wanted to say when he face them.
So he improvised.
"... I am your friend. A skeleton with a muscle and skin condition." The sound from the hand shake a welcome distraction for him to laugh instead to give a name.
"SANS!" Papyrus complained and criticized how they couldnt be giving the human such a poor impression of all monsters. Gaster felt the tingle of determination. Yeah, he had to get a move on. He had to inform Maria and Elliot before anyone could come to them and ruin his years long hard work.
"Please feel free to stay at my home. There are some humans you have to meet before you do anything. And I really mean anything at all." Gaster stood up, fishing his phone out. Pleased he thougth to put a anti magic casing on it to protect it from damage. He typed the texts as he found would be rude to call in front of the monsters. Sans was walking by his side keeping an eye socket on him. The white light ever so often eyeing the casing the phone was in. Gaster could hear the cogs turning in the shorter skeleton skull. Mistrust and doubt coiling in his friendly smile. That was fine. Its hard to grasp its done.
Gaster knew he wouldnt be able to hide who he was from Sans for long. He didnt want to... Once his magic started to more normal flow in his bones the small skeleton will know... Then... Gaster wasnt sure if he should tell them, wouldnt it put their lives on the head? Then the last twenty years they lived in a loop.
They didnt made it far when Gaster stopped to see his balsters falling back. "Ah, I am sorry... my bla- dogs are old and tired..."
"No problem my friend." Asgore spoke and with an elegant easy picking both dogs in his arms. "I will carry your WingDings."
Hold it together Gaster, the doctor berated himself. Telling himself how Asgore wasnt aware that he did it a bunch of times to the skeleton in the past. Neither is aware how warm this just made the human with two scars on his face feel. And how utterly embraced he felt.
"T-thank you." He spoke, to his surprise Papyrus spoke to him with a question. "So which one is Ding and which one is Wing?"
"Huh? Thats separate names. Thougth that was one like or something." Undyne commented.
"Of course they are separated!"
"The left one is Wing he is a lazy bone and Ding is the other he is the coolest guard dog there is. I love them both dearly." Sans who was on his left side as they walked the trail under the moonlight looked up at him. Gaster smiled back softly at him, and the skeleton swiftly turned his head away. Joining the conversation the other monster had. Mentioning how great the moon looked and how many stars there were.
Gaster was thankful of the night darkness hiding the monsters as he walked the street to the house that was waiting for them. As Gaster walked in he briefly imagined the old man, smiling at the monsters. A new era. New hope. The dogs happily took their spot in the corner.
"There are quite a few spare rooms for you all to use at your leisure. The kitchen is fully stocked, if you wish to cook." Gaster reminded himself of the way some of the monsters cooked and added hastily before the kitchen got in danger of burning. "But it has a limited passion rule. So sadly beating food into submission isnt allowed."
The loud disappointed sigh from Undyne made him chuckle. "There is a children bed just down that hallway. Frisk can rest there." Gaster pointed out, watching as Tori and Papyrus went to the pointed direction to put the spent kid to sleep. He will had to take a lot of tests to make sure they are doing well... maybe find a therapist for the kid as well? A professional should be a good thing. Asgore interrupted his mussing.
"Ah, forgive me friend, but you said we have to meet someone?"
"Oh yes, my majesty. The reporter will most likely be here in the early hours to question you about monster kind. I will assist you so it goes over well. You can count on me, my king. And the president will probably come at one point too. From there we will see how things go. The first few days are the most important for establishing a good base for the peace between humans and monsters. " Gaster way too easily fall into the role where he declared what was on their agenda and reported to his king. It was a such a easy thing to do as his hands were moving assisting with his words.
"Hmm, thank you friend for all the help. But you dont have to feel obligated to call me king. Asgore is just fine."
That felt like a ice cold bucket was dumped over his head. In much less enthusiasm he replied. "Of course... "He was human looking... it was the first time he felt the weight of the skin and muscles. It didnt matter. Everything will work out. There was a lot of explanation to be done. He distracted his mind from it. Jeremy, he needed to call him for the army of lawyers as well. Just in case someone gets any bad ideas.
"Do you wish any tea? Its not homemade but there are several flower mixes."
The king nodded in thanks sitting down on the couch, as the doctor left the room. Alyphs was shifting in place as Undyne was diving down for the remote to turn on the TV. He wondered as he pulled out the cups how long will it take to find the anime or wrestling channels. It was quite late into the night.
He watched as the water was heated. Taking his time, giving the time to monsters. It was silly to think he would fit like a missing cog... And thinking such doubts was just as silly. He felt tired. The water was boiling when someone touched his shoulder.
"You look like you were falling asleep."
"Tori..."
"Yes?"
And the doctor wasnt speaking, his hands twitching about things he simply didnt think before. Or more correctly avoiding to think about by focusing on a single goal. A science problem could be so easily solved, social was much more complicated.
"There is a lot that needs to be explained to you all."
"Now can it not wait. You have been hurt and you look like you had a rough day." Gaster nodded obediently. Watching as the goat monster was pouring the tea preparing to carry it.
"There are snails in the fridge if you want to make a special pie. "The cheer up expression Tori had at the idea of making snail pie was worth the taste the after mention pie will have. He allowed the monster to push him back with the others, Papyrus was there loudly talking with the guard friend of his. Sans was sitting on the other sofa, and Gaster dropped beside him.
Sans looked like he would fall asleep any moment now. The shorter skeleton had the right idea. Taking a few sips of tea, Gaster surrender. It truly was several long days for him. Just the strain from today was draining enough.
Gaster was sleeping his head turned to rest on Sans shoulder who was napping himself as well. Papyrus complained about laziness as he tucked them both in with a blanket so they do not get cold. It was Alyphs that insisted to point something out.
"I-is it a good i-idea to stay here?"
"Why wouldnt it? The human was nothing but friendly and welcoming." Asgore answered in a silent voice to not wake up the sleeping.
"Wasnt he a um... bit, how to say it...um too welcoming?"
"What do you mean?" Toriel matched the soft silent tone.
"Well. Think about it. Beside Sans no one introduced themself. He knew who was the king from the start I-I think. He didnt said his name, and yet he knew all of ours. T-then there is the instruments he walked by without batting a eyelid. The cameras. And well the way he got hurt. The barrier shouldnt have done it. So...I have to wonder if his intention are maybe bad because..."
"So can I beat him up to get those answers out?" Undyne grinned her toothy grin a fist punching into her palm in preparation.
"No." Papyrus said in a oddly strict tone arms crossed over his chest, but matching the whispers.
"What do you mean no? " The guard protested.
"Well. No. We arent gonna beat the first human who we meet after Frisk. It would be really rude." The tall skeleton finished looking over at the sleeping pair. His eyes filled with a far away look before he beamed happy at the kings next words.
"Indeed, I agree with Papyrus on this. We will ask the human to explain himself in the morning."
"He did say before to me in the kitchen that there was lot of explaning to be done." Toriel hummed thinking as she was drinking her tea.
"See. No need to worry." The boss monster and king pointed happily out. The tea was drunk out and more silent whispers were exchanged. Time fly by the monsters who were too exited from being on the surface to actually take the logical route like Sans and the human and sleep.
So when the knock came just before sunrise it was Undyne who jumped to open the front door. Toriel was watching over Frisk, while the king and Alyphs were using the phone to inform the other monsters to stay put for just a bit longer. The door swung wide open. She didnt await a pair of elderly humans to happily jump at seeing her.
"See I was right. He finally did it!" The older human woman said hitting her husband, the monster assumed, arm who grinned and reached to shake the guards hand in a firm handshake. "You young lady are amazing. I cannot express how happy I am to finally meet you. You can count me as your fan."
"Huh?" The fish monster blinked, not awaiting such a reaction from humans at seeing her. The pair didnt give her time to regain her footing as the shorter woman pushed past her inside the dim light house and spotting Papyrus. Attacked him.
"Pap!"
A spear was already in the guard hands but then she heard overjoyed sound from the human who was hugging the skeleton. Which left the guard with even more confusion. Apparently Frisk wasnt the only human who would go and randomly hug monsters. The spear gone.
"Papyrus, you look even taller in person. Let me see you. Where is your brother?"
"He is sleeping see..." Papyrus whispered pointing to the sofa where Gaster and Sans were still out cold. At this point Sans had cuddled up to the warm human body. While the man in question was bend in a uncomfortable position so his head was resting on top of the skull of the monster. "They are so cute." The woman hummed and indicated for the man to come in. Which he did taking off his backpack and pulling out things with red bows put on them.
"Here the ketchup bottle is for your bro and the pasta cooking book is your gift. " The man explained and pap was jumping in joy at receiving presents. Commenting how humans were really nice. But Undyne had to put a stop before it got any further out of hand.
"Now, stop right there. Why are you giving paps gifts? You saw him for like two seconds and how did you even come up to gift that? You dont have the right to. I am forbidding it..." The fish monster never got to finish as the human female huffed with hands on her hip.
"Excuse me, captain of the royal guards." Undyne frowned trying to remember if she said that she was that, she wasnt even in her armor so the monster was confused about how the human had guessed her rank. " But I have all right to spoil my grandchildren how ever I like. And there are years worth of spoiling to catch up."
"You should have said, spoiling to ketchup, darling."
"Yes, indeed. I never was good at puns."
There was a silence in the room as everyone was blinking. At the husband remark, the woman started to grin and Pap was stuck between groaning and grinning. Undyne was the first to snap out of it. Now she was properly angry.
"You cannot be related! He is a monster and you are a human?!" It was the older male that put a hand on her shoulder.
"Gaster didnt explain it did he?"
"Gaster? Is that his name?"
The guard monster commented, and noticed how her words triggered some kind of fury in the woman. "He did not even tell you his name?" The woman said and suddenly Undyne felt like she was standing in front of a very angry mother. One that was fuming at her kid that got in trouble. And the guards captain knew how that looked because it was usually her who saved the kids and took them to their parents. "Dont be angry sweetheart. It must be hard to tell his two sons about his predicament."
The tall skeleton walked up to the sleeping pair and started to pinch the human cheeks. Rubbing them and soon enough Gaster was shifting in place. "5 more min pap..." The human grumbled, pulling the Sans lump even closer.
"NYE HEHEHE. WAKE UP DAD. STOP BEING LAZY."
That did it.
Gaster was fully awake and jolted the short skeleton into waking up as well. "What did you just said?"
"Told you to wake up."
"No.. how did you referred to me?" Gaster questioned as Sans was rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.
"Dad." Papyrus simply stated it as a fact. The determination gave him a push to stop staring at the tall skeleton, Sans was still staring, a small bro slipping from his teeth. Gaster wrapped his arms around taller brother.
"Son... I... missed you both so much."
Papyrus happily returned the hug never being one to not return such a gesture, it was a touching moment but the were more people in the room. People who ahemed.
"Gaster." The older woman spoke, causing the man to slowly turn around and face his foster mother.
"Ugh...Hi." Gaster spoke starting to sink where he sat.
"Dont you hi me." The mother shot a glare that made the grown man flinch still clinging to the skeleton.
"How did you come here? I didnt tell you?..." Gaster started unwillingly un wrapping his arms from Papyrus so he could fully turn to his glaring mother and amused father. He was in so much trouble. Sans was still trying to process the fact that his brother called him dad.
"We had a dinner with Maria and her parents, when she received a text. " the grandpa cleared his voice and recited it from memory. "As I promised, my life work has been completed and the story of your lifetime is waiting, come to Ebott, Dave old house."
"So of course we know what it meant. You freed your sons! I insisted Maria to take us with her and when I understood she had zero idea about monsters. I told her to wait in the car."
Gaster rubbed the bridge of his nose. That was actually good. He had to ease the curious reporter into the situation. "Thank you...but you didnt have to tell them I..." Gaster was interrupted by Papyrus loud voice, stating a fact.
"If they are my grandparents. And you are their son. Than that makes you are my dad." There were flaws with that logic.
"Plus I always wanted to have grandparents!" Papyrus concluded and Gaster had trouble pinpointing if the tall skeleton knew who he was. If he remembered him, or if he simple fall in the role that was presented to him. Gaster stomach rumbled.
"Breakfast spaghetti?" The doctor questioned hopeful and Papyrus was overjoyed and run off to make them. It was the perfect time to try out the cooking book he just received. Sans mind had started to work when he jumped from the sofa and pointedly used his hand to say that the human should follow him.
Gaster did, leaving a still confused royal guard with his foster parents. He felt that maybe that was a horrible idea to do. But Sans took priority.
Sans lead them into a empty room. Gaster walked in without a hitch looking out the window as the sun was bathing the back yard garden. Asgore was in it and watering the plants. Gaster smiled at his king, a click told him the door was looked. Gaster poked at his soul feeling the bubble of his magic just under the surface. Little bit more rest he needed, but he could short cut if he wanted to annoy his son.
"i dont know what game you are playing, buddy. but stop it now."
"Ouch." Gaster winced as if he was physically hit. He didnt turn around opting to watch the king tending plants.
"nothing to say? well i guess you will not mind to have a bad time, buddy."
Behind his back Gaster could hear the telltale whine of a loading blaster. He slowly turned and faced the angry hoovering skull. He smiled. Sans was caught in a mixture of disbelief and hope. Using anger as a fixing point. The paranoia and fear making the skeletal fingers twitch. One wrong motion and the Gaster blaster would be released in Gasters face.
The doctor raised his hand and sans hand swept down in panic... only the skull didnt blast the human to pieces. Instead it was floating closer until it was rubbing against the man hand. Nearly like a obeying pet would. The deadly attack purring as the human was petting it with a wide smile.
"There is a reason they are called Gaster blasters. "Gaster idly said looking at Sans, who still had trouble believing it. Taking the mere possibility of it was hard on his mind, believing it true... presented as real fact even harder. "You are a good boy. You protected my sons well. You did so well." Gaster hands twitched moving against the skull, who purred and fall apart.
"Sans... can you not tell?... Can you not yet sense my magic?"
"... so i am not suffering hallucinations?" Sans spoke finally shifting on his feet.
"There will not be any resets anymore. I made sure of it."
The reaction was astonishing, Sans nearly thow himself at the doctor and yet stopped directly in front of him. Hope and fear of being lied to. "how would you know they will not do it again?"
"Because they lost the power, they given up on it... And I know what you think. What if they change their mind? Find a way to get it back? Even if they do it will take them years. " His fingers touched his chest, sensing the determination giving him a firm nod. Even if the back door was gone they will still sense it if Frisk or their Chara get powerful enough to be a danger. They could interfere with it now. "And the years that we have we will have to help them. Because I only gave them hope, but that was only the start. "
Sans softly nodded, he deeply breathed in and with his own determination asked for a final proof.
"let me see it."
Gaster didnt need to have it specified. He kneed down and allowed the soul to float in front of Sans inspecting eyes. The skeleton eyes were glued to the unusual monster soul embedded in the determination that imitated a human soul. Gaster hummed happily at seeing the state.
"Only 7 pieces! The queens healing magic is really something."
Sans eyes sockets were blank and it took the doctor only half a moment to realize what was going on. To grab Sans hand before he started forming his magic in a more deadly attacks. He should have thougth about it before he showed him his soul. Of course Sans would recognize Chara determination, he fought it for mounts in the same battle over and over. Of course he would have an instinctual reaction at seeing the red determination of his nightmares in front of him.
"Papy is alive. Everyone is alive. You are not in the golden hall, you are on the surface. Check the lv of what you see. Check it." He spoke fast and authoritatively.
Lv 1.
The check was rough but after seeing that Gaster had no exp, Sans vision returned. His eyes demanding explanation. So thats what Gaster did, he explained how the experiment started how it went, how it failed and yet succeeded. How the DT refusing his death is coming from the same source as the one protecting Frisk.
"its... its really you g? Heh didnt recognize you. You are only skin and bones."
Gaster chuckled briefly but he felt he had to say one more thing to his son. Something that he will need be drilling into the thick skull of him.
"I watched over all of you. I saw everything. And Sans remember what I am saying now. I. Do. NOT. Hate. You. Neither will your brother." Sans eyes shifted away, hands going into his pockets.
"he doesnt know."
"Dont underestimate him Sans. He is as intelligent as you. I just have to figure out how much he does know."
"he is so cool."
"The coolest there is."
"no one is cooler than him."
"Thats why we are his greatest fans."
And the short skeleton gave up. He throw his arms around the human and hugged him tightly. Words about the machine he tried to fix to get home, words about how much he forgotten, words on how he missed him and yet couldnt piece more of the past, came all but flowing out Sans like a dam was finally broken. And the human was simple holding the skeleton inside the locked room, petting the top of his head. Knowing he wasnt the best person himself. He relayed on them as a second nature yet he would so often take projects well being over theirs.
"It doesnt matter what was forgotten, Sans we will fill the darkness with new memories. Better ones. I am determined to uphold this promise."
"sure g. if you say so." The skeleton grinned, and Gaster stood up dusting his black pants off.
" I do. Can we now have breakfast spaghetti? People will confuse me with a skeleton. " Sans laughed and the two left the room and walked towards where the most sound was coming from. The kitchen. As the two stepped in Gaster was only held by pure determination in place, otherwise he would have short cutted far far away.
All the monsters were sitting around the table, Frisk was drinking a cup of tea
