I noticed that Eve was on the couch and listening to the TV. There was an odd machine talking named Mettaton. I sat with her and took the chance to talk to her as Sans' brother, Papyrus, was working on something to eat.
"Eve?"
"Oh! Yes mom?" she asked as I sat down beside her. "Is something wrong?"
"Oh no. Nothing is wrong… I was just curious, what do you think about Sans and Papyrus?" I asked softly as she leaned against my shoulder.
She smiled, "Well, I like them. They seem like nice monsters. I think that they would be great friends with me and Frisk."
"Well, what do you think about them as individuals?" I asked as I smiled lightly. I played with her hair tenderly as she relaxed and smiled, "Well, Papyrus is the greatest. He's fun, lovable, makes great puzzles, and he deserves more than just a few fans. He deserves to be cared for and loved. I think Sans does a wonderful job at that."
"What do you mean?" I looked at her confused.
"Well, Sans is his older brother and he loves his brother. You can't tell at first glance but, he's protective and caring. Even I can see that." She smiled lightly and her soul glowed softly as she spoke about Sans. "He's also super funny and helpful. When I was trying to skate…"
She began telling me about her fun with the boys but, every time she spoke about Sans her cheeks would slightly turn pink and her soul seemed to glow brighter each time. Without having to encounter battle with anyone, it glowed. I smiled and played with her hair, "So… I guess you had an 'ice' trip."
She giggled, "I'm just glad I'm not 'chilled to the bone'." She threw back giggling a bit more. I smiled and sighed content with my answer, she liked him more than a friend.
Papyrus came out of the kitchen, "DINNER IS READY! WAIT, WHERE ARE SANS AND THE HUMAN FRISK?"
"Sans said he was going to be back…" Eve spoke softly. I chimed in, "Frisk was with him when he left."
"OH NO! THEY'LL BE LATE! I'LL GO AND GET THEM, YOU TWO ENJOY THE FOOD. SANS MIGHT HAVE TAKEN FRISK TO GRILBY'S…" Papyrus sighed as he left to see where they had gone.
I hope they are alright, for Eve's sake.
\/\/\/\/\/\/The Great Papyrus' POV \/\/\/\/\/\/
I was outside of the house and waiting for Sans and Frisk to come back. I was going to battle Frisk outside while I let my brother go in. Sure enough, I see them both and the flower strapped to Frisks' back. The flower spoke rudely, "So fucking cold, why did we have to leave the warm place… Trash bag, you're lucky your house is so close. Otherwise, I would be kicking your ass right now."
"Hush weed. We're almost at the house and Eve doesn't very much like you. So stop talking when we get inside." Sans spoke lazily but, his tone was honest.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Would that ruin your chances of asking her on a date?" The flower teased making Sans tensed up as his skull turned a royal blue.
Frisk chuckled slightly, "Sorry Sans, your reaction to that was priceless. Though, I don't think my sister would object to a date."
"What makes you say- Sup bro?" Sans stopped when he saw me.
"SANS! YOU'RE LATE FOR DINNER AND YOU TOOK THE MINI-EVE TO GRILBY'S DIDN'T YOU?" I asked slightly annoyed.
"Well, they wanted to chat so, I gave them a comfortable place to relax and unwind." Sans shrugged. I simply rolled my eye sockets as my attention was directed at the small human before me. He was looking at me and smiled lightly. I felt myself not wanting to attack but, it was something I needed to do for Undyne.
"ANYWAYS SANS, I MUST SPEAK TO THE HUMAN! GO IN AND SERVE YOUR GUESTS DINNER." I say as I crossed my arms.
"Sure thing bro. Kid, I'll see you inside." He says softly and heads into the house.
It was just me and the human. I looked at them, "HUMAN… I'M SORRY. I KNOW YOUR EVE'S BROTHER AND I WANT TO BE FRIENDS WITH YOU BUT, I NEED TO TRN YOU IN. UNDYNE WOULD BE VERY UNHAPPY IF I DIDN'T BRING ANYONE." Frisk looked at me like they knew this was coming, "Papyrus… I don't want to fight you… You seem like the nicest skeleton around and I want to be your friend."
"OH HUMAN, PLEASE DON'T MAKE THIS HARDER THAN IT HAS TO BE." I looked at them sadly. They were so nice…
.::. Author's POV .::.
~Battle Begin!~
As the battle screen came up Frisk was mostly dodging attacks and Papyrus was showing his amazing skills and moves. Frisk was then attacked with Papyrus' Blue attack. Then his soul turned blue. Soon Frisk was able to do several things. Fight, Check, Act or Mercy. Frisk chose flirt and thought about the best pick up line he could for Papyrus.
Then Frisk asked, "Hey Papyrus, do you have a raisin?"
"WHAT? NO…?" Papyrus looked utterly confused at Frisks' odd question.
"How about a date then?"
This of course caused the great papyrus to be startled about being asked on a date in such a smooth way. His boney cheeks were dusted with a slight orange glow as he looked at the young human.
Papyrus was so distracted with the date and soon admitted defeat and brought the human Frisk inside to have some friendship spaghetti with him and the rest of the guests.
~Battle End… Because author is bad at battles … ;-; ~
However, it was awkward that Papyrus was focused on the date more than the fantastic pasta he had made. Eve and Sans were sitting next to each other and Flowey was being rude about Papyrus' cooking making Eve and Frisk scold him for being so rude. Toriel smiled seeing the table was filled with monsters and humans enjoying the meal.
Toriel spoke softly, "Thank you for being kind to my child Eve. I do wish for her to come back home however… I'm beginning to doubt that she will come back at the moment…" She sighed softly.
"Mom… I plan of finishing my quest. As hard as it's going to be… I want to set the underground free… Besides, Frisk and I still have a garden to finish harvesting." Eve smiled lightly as Frisk held her hand. He seemed so happy to just be around her this time around. He was glad that he wasn't alone and that Eve would be able to enjoy the happy ending with him this time.
/'.'\ Flowey's POV /'.'\
Eve still flinches when I speak to her. However, she still responds to me when she's answering my questions. For example, (JuSt To FuCk WiTh TrAsHbAg…)
"So, Eve" I began taking a side glace at Sans as he was giving me a look as if asking what I was doing. "What do you think about Trash bag?"
Eve looked confused as Sans, Trash bag, was a shade of sky blue, "Trash bag? Who's Trash bag?"
I rolled my eyes, "Ugh! The one sitting next to you? The chuckle head skeleton."
"Oh, you mean Sans. It's very rude to call people rude names like that Flowey." She says sternly but, much to my pleasure she smiles and tells me, "I think Sans is very kind and seems to have a wonderful personality. He's quite, Sansational."
Toriel and Sans chuckled as Papyrus complained and Frisk just smiled. I scoffed slightly at the response but, this was… nice. It was odd. It was like everyone was on the surface again but, we were in the underground, still in Snowdin. I looked over at Sans as he looked at me with his glowing eye. He looked at me as if to tell me he was watching me.
The others didn't seem to notice thought that he was using his magic at all. Everyone was still eating the palatable food Papyrus made. When Eve and Frisk were done with their food however Frisk looked at her, "I got your plate Eve."
"Don't worry Frisk, I have my plate. You can lead me to the kitchen. We can start washing the dishes."
"Eve, your our guest, you don't have to do that." Trashbag says softly. Almost like a loving boyfriend or something. Eww…
"Thanks Sans but, we can take care of a few dishes." She smiled softly in his direction as she and Frisk head to the kitchen. Her eyes were slightly opened and you could see the grey film over her natural eye color, the golden brown that frisk had.
When they left and sound was being made Toriel sighed softly and sadly, "She's going to try and keep moving forward… isn't she?"
Sans leaned back, "Toriel, I'm keeping my promise… Don't worry. I'll make sure that they are both safe."
She smiled and in a friendly way and nodded, "Thank you."
Eve walked in with Frisk and held his hand. Frisk spoke first, "Well, I think we'll rest up and then we'll head out tomorrow morning."
Eve just nodded and smiled lightly as she nodded as she looked down at the flood, "I wanted to say thank you to both you and Papyrus."
Sans smiled and went up to her, "No problem Eve."
Even I could tell there was some romantic tension. I sighed seriously irritated, "Geeze! Just ki-!"
Frisk covered my mouth which gave me a good hard slap, "Shush. You need rest too Flowey."
When we retired on the couch Eve took the floor and looked comfortable as Frisk was given the couch. Toriel had gone back home and taken care of making the house some cinnamon butterscotch pie before leaving.
Once we both knew Eve was asleep I looked at Frisk, "So, tell me a few things Frisk… What's the surface like for you guys?"
"It was different than how normal humans live on the surface was. We live in an abandoned house. It didn't have much furnature so, we slept on the floor with a few blankets we had taken with us from the orphanage. Eve used a few as rope. She learned how to tie things into knots pretty well and no one was noticing a couple sheets missing so… that's what we took with us."
"Oh… I was wondering why she looked so comfortable." I say softly more to myself as Frisk smiled at his sister.
"Yeah, we got a pull-out couch after a while but… she liked the floor. It was our way of life for a while. She still lays with me on the couch when I have nightmares or something." Frisk sighed the last part as he looked at the ceiling
"So… Why did you stop me from telling her to just go with her emotions already? It's blatantly obvious that they have a thing." I asked softly
"I don't want her to feel forced to do anything. I want her to be happy but, I also want her to take her time with getting to know sans and let her be able to be more open with him." He spoke calmly. "Although, it is stupid obvious that they like each other."
I just chuckled, "Sleep frisk. We have much to do tomorrow."
"Night flowey." He says softly as he fell asleep.
I watched over them as I watched the Mettaton on the TV with subtitles and the volume off. I didn't want to wake the house. I slept very little and just listened to the wind and snow falling to the ground in Snowdin.
-.o Sans POV o.-
I was reading Papyrus to bed but, before I could finish the book Papyrus asked in an oddly quiet voice, "You like the human? I don't blame you brother, she is quite nice and very caring."
"Pap…" I spoke softly and smiled lightly, "What are you talking about?"
"Sans, any monster or human could see that you like her…" He says seriously, "Why not just take her on a date? Isn't that what you do for people you like?"
I sighed as I looked at him, "It's not that simple Paps… I don't want to rush her into things like that… I want her to feel ready when she is ready. Besides, I'm kind of a mess if you haven't noticed bro."
"OF COURSE I'VE NOTICED! I'M YOUR BROTHER SANS!" He says a bit louder than intended. We heard someone's blankets moving for a bit and then nothing. As if someone shifted and then went back to sleep. I looked out to see Eve moving around on the floor a bit but got comfortable again. I looked at Frisk and Flowey, seeing Frisk asleep and Flowey watching TV quietly.
However, he had looked at me and nodded. It was as if he was letting me know that we didn't wake them up. I sighed glad that they went back to sleep.
"Don't worry Paps. They're still sleeping." I smiled at him.
Papyrus sighed, "Good. Sans…"
"Yeah bro?" I asked picking up the book again as I looked for where I was on the page.
"You need to make yourself happy too brother. Try meeting somewhere in the middle with Eve. I'm sure she will gladly meet you there. Anyways, please finish the book." He smiled as he got comfortable again.
Once I finished his book he was fast asleep. I sighed and patted my brother's head tenderly having memories of Papyrus being smaller than me. Being a baby when our dad disappeared… I shook my head of the thought and smiled softly at him. I closed the door quietly and looked over the banaster and looked at the two humans asleep on the couch and floor. I grimaced as I looked at Eve on the floor.
"Doesn't seem to comfortable… Must be bone-tired." I mumbled to myself lightly smirked as I yawned a bit. When I got to my bedroom door, I thought about what Papyrus had said about me being happy. I opened the door and smiled lightly, "That was cool bro…"
I just hope that when I do have the 'guts' to tell her how I feel, It's not for nothing.
Thanks for waiting everyone! work and school have been nuts. I'm training someone at work so, it's been interesting... Anyways enjoy the chapter!
