Chapter 4: Shopping

"would you like to go shopping now?"

Sans tilted his head shifting what was left of his eggs around "what's shopping?"

Papyrus bounced lightly talking around his piece of toast "Is it outside?"

"Yes, it's down the street it is where I use money to buy things"

Sans nodded he knew what money was, though didn't really understand the use of it. Hopping of the bed Sans took Papyrus's hand looking up to Grillby for him to lead.

Grillby nodded "can I pick you both up? I don't want you two having to walk in the cold."

Papyrus nodded smiling, but Sans frowned shaking his head strongly.

"I won't hurt you. I can't burn unless I want to, see?" He said and held his hand out for Sans to touch as a reminder.

Sans frowned papping the hand quickly. Papyrus on the other hand grinned at the idea going closer and latching onto Grillby "Nyeh heh heh you are like a warm blanket!"

Grillby chuckled and hugged back "I suppose" he said

Sans gave a small whine, but didn't get closer.

Grillby opened one arm for him letting him approach at his own pace

Sans nibbled on a finger bone contemplating on what to do. Papyrus looked like he was in heaven with the hug. Slowly Sans crept forward. Nervously Sans gave him a quick hug pulling back standing awkwardly away nibbling his finger bones again.

Grillby brightened "you give very nice hugs Sans" he said

Sans's skull turned a bright blue in a blushed and he hunched down into the borrowed shirt trying to hide it mumbling a soft. "Shudup"

Grillby chuckled "come here so I can carry you silly"

Sans shook his head turning darker blue. Jutting out one hand Sans turned looking at the floor embarrassed.

Grillby stood holding Pap and took Sans's hand "you ready."

Papyrus giggled wiggling in Grillby's hold "Yes!"

Sans nodded shyly "y-yeah."

Grillby nodded "Sans if you get cold tell me and I'll hold you" he said and lead them out of the bar.

Sans nodded giving Grillby's hand a small squeeze. "O-okay."

Grillby lead them outside back into the cold and snow but it melted before it touched him or Pap.

Sans shivered slightly but hurried to keep up with Grillby's strides. "You-you're really tall… almost as tall as G-gaster. Could be your flames."

"Maybe... Want me to help you?" He asked slowing his strides

Sans shook his head shying away slightly.

Grillby nodded "the store is just ahead" he said seeing the general store

Sans nodded as Papyrus piped up "does it have a lot of things?"

"Yes it does. it's the only store in town so they try to meet every need" he said and released Sans to open the door it was warm, not as warm as Grillby's, but it had all sorts of things.

Sans stopped in the doorway in awe. There were so many things.

Papyrus gasped patting Grillby's chest excitedly "Grillby there are so many things! Look look Grillby!"

Grillby smiled and set him down "yep look around but be careful" he said

Sans looked to Grillby in shock "r-really?"

Papyrus gave a small cackled of glee "i-i want to look everywhere!"

Grillby nodded "just don't leave while I speak with Ms. Rabbit alright?" He said

Papyrus nodded taking Sans hand and dragging him over to a shelf "Look! Look Sans!"

Grillby smiled at them before going to the counter "Ms. Rabbit I need help" he said "I know nothing about raising kids" he said

Rabbit chuckled smiling "i see you've gathered some. Without any background information for shame Grillby."

"They showed up and I guess their father told them to find me" he said with a sigh

Rabbit let out a loud laugh "wow so you have some kids now? You are just going to keep them? Well i can't argue with your bleeding heart. Just get them some clothes, toys, something to keep them busy like a coloring book or a children's book. Make sure to give them love and affection. You will probably need to get some more rubber gloves… i think i have some."

Grillby nodded "yes please if I have to deal with water anymore I'll need more of them" he said. And looked at the kids "Sans! Papyrus come here please so we can get your clothing and shoe sizes!" He said

Rabbit gasped as the two small skeletons came forward "oh my Grillby you didn't tell me they didn't have any clothes or shoes!" Rabbit motioned them over to a box of shoes and a rack of clothes.

Sans frowned "w-we have clothes..."

"They came to me in gowns" he said and lead them to the rack "yes your gowns are fine... In warmer areas but here we have to dress fully alright?" He said kneeling to help them. He figured it was easier to tell them like it was a temperature thing them saying they were wrong

Sans have a short nod. "Gowns are better for the test. Not good for snow though."

Papyrus nodded wiggling his toe bones "so we are getting things to cover my toes?"

"Yes you are" Grillby said worried about what Sans said, but not pressing for now.

Papyrus giggled "i've never had something covering my toes. It sounds funny."

Sans nodded shifting through the shoes coming across some bright yellow boots. "Heh look how bright these are Pap. Grillby what's this color again?"

"This color is yellow and they are boots do you want help trying them on?" He asked turning a lighter happy shade.

Sans gave a small nod. Plopping down Sans stuck his feet in Grillby's direction. "P-please?"

Grillby chuckled and took a pack of socks he was going to buy and opened them putting one on each foot "these help keep feet warm and protect them from the shoe" he said and then put the boots on.

Sans covered his mouth stifling a giggle "feels soft." Sans grinned wiggling his now heavier feet "i love them. Heh heh"

Grillby grinned at seeing the boy open up to him "Good you need to wear these often to keep your feet safe, now let's find Papyrus some shoes then we can do clothes" he said smiling

Papyrus perked up "Can i have some like Sans?"

Grillby nodded "yep, but yours will be smaller" he said and found some in Paps size before helping him with the socks and shoes once more

Papyrus giggled kicking his feet "they feel funny!"

Rabbit chuckled at the scene. "They are quite adorable Grillby. Look at you, you're doing great. Parents normally have to bribe their kids into wearing shoes. Bam step one of parenthood accomplished." Rabbit gave a small wave of her hands at Grillby's accomplishment.

"Hahah well I think they are good kids. I think the real clothes are gonna be the hardest though."

Rabbit nodded motioning to the smaller clothes potion of the rack. "They will most likely be here."

He nodded and lead the boys over "let's start with pants..." He said grabbing a few pairs

Sans frowned poking them "what are they?"

Papyrus nodded taking one and putting it on his head and one arm through a leg. "Like this?"

"Pft no silly like how I am wearing them?" He said and pointed to himself. "Let me help you" he said taking the pants and holding them "put your leg through here"

Papyrus nodded his face taking on a form of strong concentration. Lifting his leg Papyrus tried to put it through the hole, though it was the wrong one. As he was trying his boot caught on the crotch on the pants tipping him off balance causing him to waving his arms around.

Grillby released the pants and caught him "oh dear... Guess I did this out of order let's try again and began removing his shoes

Papyrus nodded leaning on Grillby for support. "your really smart Grillby. how do you know all this stuff?"

Grillby chuckled "I'm not very smart I am just old enough to know this stuff."

Papyrus looked offended at Grillby's comment hitting Grillby's chest hard "NO! Bad Grillby!"

"Ow! What?" He asked surprised at the child's sudden violence

Papyrus sounded genuinely upset "don't Ever Never Ever say that. You are smart! Sans says i'm smart even if sometimes i don't think so. He says to never ever ever think i'm dumb. Never Ever Ever Ever Grillby!"

Sans couldn't help it and was barely able to stifled his giggle.

Grillby burned a bit brighter in blush "thank you I will endeavour to think better."

Papyrus gave him a beaming smile "Good!"

He smiled and helped him get the pants on right "there you go much better" he said to the child

Papyrus frowned pulling on the pants. "It... It feels weird."

Sans frowned "it looks weird... I can't see your bones..."

"That's good it will keep you warm and protect you a little" Grillby said and found a little shirt "alright now take my shirt off and we can get you your own."

Papyrus whined reluctantly taking off the shirt hugging his ribs with a pout. A small glow came from his chest where his soul floated.

Grillby smiled actually looking at the clean bones "what a brave soul" he said and lifted the shirt "lift your arms" he said

Papyrus pouted reluctantly lifting his arms.

Sans tilted his head "brave soul?"

Grillby pulled the shirt on him "yes most monster souls are white as he have a healthy balance of all the major personas. But certain strong monsters have colors showing their greatest quality, orange is bravery" he said

Sans frowned at that information. He knew he was powerful, Papyrus too, they were made this way. He just wished there wasn't a reminder of it inside his chest. Frowning Sans rubbed the floor with his boot.

Papyrus whined pulling at the shirt "No! it itches. it's too tight on my bones. I hate it!" Papyrus flop onto his tailbone tears pricking in his sockets.

Grillby frowned "it itches? Maybe we can find a different material" he said and picked a different shirt "here let's try this one"

Papyrus whined loudly pushing the discarded shirt into Grillby's hands "more? No! I like your shirt why do i gotta change? I don't wanna!"

Sans sighed "Pap... just do what he says."

Papyrus whined loudly kicking his legs.

Rabbit shook her head. "Well Grillby let's see how you do with a tantrum."

Grillby sat down "do you really want to give up without trying?" He asked holding up a shirt with a car on it "look at this one isn't it cooler than my old shirt?"

Papyrus pouted sniffling "no… i guess it is cool. What… what is it?"

"It's a car. a machine that one could use on the surface to drive really fast, they are awesome" he said

Papyrus perked up "really? What's the surface?"

Sans smiled glad Papyrus wasn't upset anymore. "Yeah Gaster talked about it a lot. Is it nice?"

"I suppose but it wasn't as nice as everyone remembers we have a very... Rosy view of it" he said

Papyrus tilted his head in confusion, but didn't question instead he held up his arms "i want to try it on now."

Grillby nodded and put it on him "wow you look so cool!"

Papyrus beamed a light orange tinting his cheeks. Wiggling in the shirt and hugging his ribs Papyrus grinned to Grillby "i-i do! Nyeh heh heh i like it. It's soft and comfy."

Sans smiled "yeah pap you look like a real cool skeleton."

Rabbit grinned patting Grillby's back "you did good."

Grillby nodded "thank you... Now Sans ready for you to get dressed?" He asked

Sans shrugged. "Is… is there something different?"

"What do you mean?" Grillby asked

Sans shifted nervously "just… different. M-maybe looser? N-nevermind it's fine. Sorry."

Grillby nodded "we can do that... How about we try and go a size bigger for you?" He said and found some nice t-shirts.

Sans blushed nodding "t-thanks." seeing a blue shirt he lightly motioned to it "um… what color is that again."

"Blue... You like it?" He asked picking it up for him

Sans gave a small nod. "Y-yeah..."

Grillby smiled and helped him get it on "how's it feel?"

Sans blushed giving Grillby a small smile. It hung off his bones slightly, but he hugged the shirt to him. "Soft."

Grillby smiled "so more like this? Do you want different colors or just blue?" He asked

Sans nodded. Looking to the rack Sans pointed to a large turtleneck sweater "are there… are there any of those f-for me?"

Grillby nodded "if you want" he said smiling

Sans nodded shyly "y-yeah they look comfy and warm. I'm only bones… heh."

Papyrus squawked "Sans that was horrible!"

Grillby chuckled "okay" he said and got a blue sweater for him "want to try it on?"

Sans nodded raising his arms "yes… please."

Grillby smiled and helped him into it "isn't it nice?"

Sans gave him a big smile hugging his ribs wiggling slightly. "Yeah. it's really nice."

Grillby smiled "now we need jackets..." He said looking around

Rabbit smiled handing him a few larger blue and gray jackets and a few small red and black ones. "Here. i think they would like these. You can weed out the ones from there."

"Thank you" Grillby said and began dressing the kids "let me know when they feel okay these you only need to wear when you go outside" he said

Papyrus preferred the third choice and thinner bright red jacket, though it lacked a hood.

Sans choose a thick blue coat that hung down to his knees. it had a large gray hood on it which he wore proudly.

Grillby smiled "you both have good taste let's get you a hat though Papyrus" he said and began looking through the soft hats for his skull.

Papyrus nodded admiring his jacket.

Rabbit smiled grabbing them some mittens and giving them to grillby. "Here you might want these too."

"Oh... Yes thank you" he said and put them on "now you all look ready..." He said and picked out more outfits similar "I'll take these too ms. Rabbit" he said bringing out his gold "and some food for them... I don't want them living on my bar food…"

Rabbit chuckled charging him only half the normal price. "You're a good cook i'm sure as long as you add some milk and vegetables in their meals you'll do fine. You know how to get a hold of me if you need any help."

Grillby nodded and noticed the charge "you don't have too..." He said giving her the G she rang up but kept his gold out to pay the rest if she let him

Rabbit chuckled shaking her head. "Think of it as a gift to your new housemates. You might start to realize you'll need help here and there. You can make it up to me by letting me see them every now and then."

Grillby nodded "alright.. thank you" he said "boys are you ready to go?" He asked

Sans nodded taking Papyrus into his arms lifting him up spinning him around once before facing Grillby with a grin. Papyrus let out a squeal giggling in Sans's arms.

Grillby smiled and walked to the door "do you want me to carry you or do you want to try out your new boots?"

Papyrus squealed wiggling out of his brothers hold rushing over to Grillby taking his hand "i wanna test my boots! I wanna test them!"

Sans chuckled shyly going to Grillby's other hand and taking it.

Grillby nodded smiling and lead them back out to the snow their new clothes making it much more comfortable
