Chapter 3: new life

Sans groaned as he woke up he could feel his dried tears on his cheeks and dried mud on their bones and sheets. Looking around confused he noticed Papyrus tucked into his side and nuzzled him. Smelling something good, his stomach grumbled loudly. Turning to the smell Sans saw a plate of steaming weird things. Reaching for a cube shape he pulled it back to their blanket bundle nibbling it. "Mmmm! Pap Pap wake up there's food."

Papyrus grumbled but pried open his sockets "Wha? What's going on?"

Sans presented the fry to his brother. "Try it. It's food."

Grillby heard the boys moving they had slept all night and it was now afternoon the next day. he had closed up his bar early after talking to the royal guard about the situation and they were contacting the head of the Royal Guard Gearson for advice. He knocked on the door not wanting to scare them "may I come in?" He asked

Sans jolted looking to the door. Gaster had never asked before. Hesitantly Sans answered "yes?"

Grillby entered and knelt by the bed "how are you two feeling?" He asked

Sans nervously wrung his hands. "Fine… sorry." Papyrus nodded sleepily in agreement.

Grillby nodded "it's okay. It is nice to meet you Sans and Pap... My name is Grillby."

Papyrus gave a whine pouting "it's not Pap! Sans calls me Pap. only Sans. my name's Papyrus."

Sans frowned "aw sorry Pap i didn't mean to upset you. You know how much of a lazy bones i am. Sorry."

Grillby frowned "oh please forgive me... Papyrus" he said

Papyrus gave a small nod "you are forgiving Grill-bee."

Grillby sighed in relief "thank you"

Papyrus smiled "you are very welcome Nyeh heh heh!"

Grillby smiled "so you two sought me out did you want to stay here with me?" He asked

Sans tilted his head "we are allowed to?"

Papyrus nodded wiggling happily "it's nice and warm here!"

Grillby nodded "then I would be happy to let you stay" he said and held out his hands "I can get paperwork to make it official to if you want that someday."

Papyrus perked up "you mean we can stay! Sans did you hear that?"

Sans nodded though gave Grillby a skeptical look. "Yeah..."

Papyrus nodded before frowning "wait you're not going to upset Sans again are you? I don't like it when Sans is upset."

Sans blushed covering his face. "Pap..."

Grillby shook his head "I will try not too but we just met there is no way to completely avoid issues" he said

Papyrus pouted crossing his arms.

Sans had blue tinted cheeks shaking his head "it's fine bro. I'm good okay. Stop."

Grillby nodded "it will be rocky at first. I don't know you and you don't know me, but I will do my best to do right by you both. I can put you in school and get your clothes and other things" he said

Sans frowned "what's school? Does it hurt?" pulling at the large shirt over him "Why don't these work?"

"School is where children go to learn. Like reading and writing and history... And those don't cover you... Have you never been to school or wore proper clothes?" He asked

Sans shook his head "i don't remember going to school. So there are other people like us? Other kids?"

Papyrus nodded with Sans's comments pointing to their gowns on the floor "yeah and we always wear our special robes."

Grillby was disturbed by this but nodded "yes there are many other children" he said "and robes are okay but here is too cold for them. We'll get you proper clothing" he said

Papyrus nodded "it's really cold outside. Hehehehe. That's funny to say. Try it Sans. Outside hehehe."

Sans smiled chuckling "Outside. Heh yeah that is pretty funny. Out-Side. Heh. it's strange to think that we were outside."

Grillby nodded slightly disturbed. "How about we get you washed up then go outside again?"

Sans froze frowning "washed up?" He hoped it wasn't the cold dunk that Gaster would give them when they became too dirty.

Papyrus frowned shivering "I don't want a cold dunk. I don't wanna get dunked on!"

Sans snickered while Grillby frowned. Motioning for the boys to hop off the bed Grillby continued talking while stripping the bed and replacing the sheets. "We can make it warm if you would like, the water doesn't have to be cold. Have you never had a hot bath?"

Papyrus shook his head "no, is it nice?"

Grillby frowned before nodding "for some. It isn't quite fun for me since water can hurt me."

Papyrus's eyes grew wide and fearful "water hurts you! But you live around wet cold stuff!"

Grillby chuckled leading them to the bathroom. "Yes, it is quite strange isn't it. Not many people like me come this far out. However, i am just different."

Papyrus giggled turning to Sans with a big grin "we like different!"

Sans gave a small nod.

Reaching the bathroom Grillby grabbed down two fluffy towels and a bubble bath mix. Putting on his water proof gloves he turned on the water causing both skeletons to jump.

The boys had backed up to the wall skeptical of the bath. Sans stood slightly in front of Papyrus protecting him from the water.

After the tub was half way filled Grillby turned to look to the boys. "Would one of you like to test how the water feels? I can make it warmer or colder if you would like."

Sans gave a small nod walking over nervously. Squeezing his socket closed he thrust his hand under the water. With a small gasp Sans opened his sockets looking at the water in wonder. "It's not really cold… it's warm?" Sans looked up at Grillby confused.

Grillby frowned nodding. "Yes, does it feel good or do you want it warmer? It's not too hot is it?"

Sans shook his head "nah it's good."

Papyrus grinned rushing over to the tub and flinging himself over the rim to feel the water. Grillby was able to snatch the back of Papyrus's shirt before he fell completely over the side of the tub. "Careful."

Papyrus whined dangling over the water. "Wanna touch!"

Grillby chuckled pulling him back and making sure he was safely back on the floor. "You will Papyrus. After the tub is full and your clothes are off you can hop in the bath. Here let me add some bubbles now that i know the temperature is good."

Papyrus nodded happily. However, Sans had froze once Grillby had grabbed the back of Papyrus's shirt. Grabbing Papyrus's wrist Sans gently tugged him protectively close and back to the wall. "Saaaaaaaaans i wanna see the boobles." "no. stay here."

Grillby frowned at Sans's reaction and he turned to pour in the bubbles talking calmly. "Sans it's okay to be concerned for your brother's safely, but i will not hurt him. I promise."

Sans frowned releasing his grip on Papyrus. He still wasn't completely trusting of Grillby. People can change far to quickly for his liking.

Soon the bath was filled with water and plenty of bubbles and Grillby turned off the water. Turning to the boys he gave them a smile. "Are you ready?"

Papyrus nodded eagerly while Sans shrunk into himself.

Grillby gave them a soft smile "okay let's get you out of your clothes… or t-shirts."

Papyrus grinned yanking the shirt off.

Sans shrunk more into his shirt.

Papyrus turned to Sans "Sans take off your shirt."

Sans shook his head "nah bro you go ahead and hop in."

Grillby frowned laying a gloved hand onto Sans's shoulder. "Come on Sans a bath will make you feel better."

Papyrus nodded "lift your arms I'll help you!"

Sans sighed raising his arms and letting Papyrus slide off his shirt.

Grillby took both of the shirts and tossed them into a nearby hamper. Picking up Papyrus Grillby gently sat him into the water. Papyrus instantly beamed up to him grabbing bubbles and popping them with gleeful giggles.

Sans shrunk into himself dodging Grillby's hands and crawling into the bath himself. Hiding in the bubbles he looked at Grillby.

Grillby looked to them "is it warm enough?"

Papyrus nodded happily "I like the boobles!"

Grillby smiled nodding. Getting a rubber ducky out and handing it to Papyrus. "Yeah? That's good. This is a rubber ducky he will float in the water. Do you want me to wash you up while you play with him?"

Papyrus gave a happy squeal squeezing the duck.

Grillby smile getting a sponge and lightly scrubbing away the grime over the small skeletons bones.

Sans cautiously watched slowly starting to copy Grillby's movements.

Grillby smiled down at Papyrus once he finished scrubbing his bones. Grabbing a cup he turned back to them. "I need to rinse you off now. So, close your eyes er sockets."

Papyrus nodded squeezing his sockets closed with a giggle.

Grillby slowly rinsed Papyrus off before turning to Sans.

Sans simply took the cup from him rinsing himself.

With a sign Grillby grab one of his fluffy towels opening it for Papyrus. "Let's get you dried off Papyrus."

Papyrus giggled hopping out of the bath and nuzzling into the towel. "It's so soft!"

Grillby chuckled getting him dried off before tugging another large shirt over his head. Turning to Sans he offered a small smile.

Sans reluctantly stepped out of the bath and let Grillby dry him off and tug a shirt over his skull.

With a smile Grillby turned back to the tub calling over his shoulder "you two can head on to bed if you want."

Papyrus nodded dragging Sans off to the bed.

Grillby chuckled draining the tub. Once the tub was drained Grillby went to his couch and calpapsed. With a huff Grillby stared up at the ceiling thinking over the boys reactions to everyday things that most to children should be common sense.
