"Babe…." Sans groaned into your ear. You groaned back and turned away. "Babe wake up."
"You're not even awake yourself bone boy." You say with a sleepy smile. You felt his arms wrap around your waist and pull you in tighter to him.
"Yeah… but I have plans for today." He sounded like he was about to pass out again. You shimmy around until you were facing him. You look at his sleepy skull with a smile before leaning in and placing a kiss on his cheek bone.
Sans opened one eye lazily and grinned at you. His arms snaked around you, one arm going around your waist and the other tangling in your hair.
"Aw come on babe. I worked hard on these plans." He whined, his voice deeper and slower with exhaustion.
"You look like you're going to pass out." You giggle and nuzzle his chin.
"I'd do anything to make our first Valentine's Day together as special as possible." He began stroking your hair lazily.
"I just wanna stay like this forever." You mutter, resting your head on his chest. You listened to his soul thrum in contentment and smiled.
"We do this almost every weekend." He sounded slightly upset, but when you glanced up his face was as soft and content as always.
"Yeah but I love it." You whined, pulling the blanket up over you. Sans chuckled deeply and yawned wide.
"Here, you go back to sleep, but let me go get your day started." He said. You could never get over the love in his voice.
"But Saaaaaaans." You complained, holding him down with the weight of your body on his chest. Your whole torso moved as he talked again.
"Look babe, go back to sleep, and after we have the most amazing day ever, we can spend more time in bed, alright?"
"…Alright." You roll off his chest and cuddle up under the still warm blankets. You felt the mattress shift as the skeleton stood. You heard his back cracking as he stretched and giggled a little. He heard you, and shoved you gently.
You never thought you would be here, sleeping in Sans' bed, waiting for him to get his Valentine's Day plans together for you. Just a few months ago, you were a scared teenager. Now, you were dating your best friend.
You sighed in pure bliss and took a deep breath, breathing in everything around you. You felt your heart flutter in joy before drifting back off to sleep.
"… Wake up. Babe, come on." Sans' voice drifted into your dreams. You scowled and hid under the blanket. You heard a deep chuckle and the blanket was suddenly gone. You sit up, in shock at the sudden cold.
"Sans!" You exclaimed, shooting your boyfriend a betrayed look. Sans just laughed and wrapped something around your shoulders. Looking down, you saw a fluffy pink blanket with red and dark pink hearts on it. You look back up at Sans in shock and awe. He just grins wider and puts out a hand to help you stand.
"Did you go out and buy me a new blanket?" This was one of the best presents you had ever received on Valentine's Day. He just placed a kiss on your cheek and led you downstairs. "Thank you so much."
"Don't thank me yet babe. There's a whole day ahead of you." He grinned lazily. Grinning back, you followed him into the kitchen. Your jaw dropped at the sight before you.
The table had a white table cloth, complete with red roses in a crystal vase and a plate of pink pancakes, vaguely in the shape of hearts. You felt tears stinging your eyes. You turn to Sans and see his nervous smile.
"Do… do you like it?" He asked, his voice mild and scared. You threw your arms around his neck and bury your face in his neck.
"It's amazing Sans." You honestly thought you were going to cry, but you stayed strong. He moved back from your hug and pulled the chair out for you. You honestly thought you were still dreaming as you took your seat.
Looking at the center piece, you saw something tucked between the blossoms. Pulling the note from the vase, you did cry – just a little.
Dear, you light up my life. I know sometimes we can be a thorn in each other's side, but at the end of the day I couldn't see myself loving anyone else. –Sans
You wiped the tear away quickly before smiling at Sans. He knew they were tears of joy, but it still worried him to see you cry.
"Here, let me." He placed some of the butt-heart pancakes onto your plate. Papyrus was the best cook in the Underground, but Sans was a close second. They were fluffy and tasted like vanilla, and you ate five hearts before feeling like exploding.
"My ideas for today weren't this amazing…" You felt guilty. All you were planning on doing was… well let's just say you bought some special underwear for today specifically. You felt your ears burn at the thought.
"You don't need to do anything today. Just let me take care of you." Sans said as he took your plate from the table. You had never seen the skeleton so eager to help around the house, but you weren't about to complain.
"I want to do something for you though."
"Just enjoy the day. That's the best present you could give me." He offered a hand, and you took it. "Ready?" He asked. You nodded and he teleported away.
You reappeared in Waterfall. You could hear the music box playing in the near distance, the soft melody filling you with a sense of nostalgia. Sans guided you behind one of the waterfalls to show a blanket set up.
"Sans…" You were speechless. There were pillows and candles stuck on all the surfaces, the flames giving off a soft glow against the sharp edged of the rocks. He led you to the largest pillow and had you sit. Before you sat down, you saw another note folded neatly on the cushion.
You are my muse, my music, my reason to love each day.
You placed the note in your pocket, next to the first one from breakfast.
Moving to sit across from you, he pulled out a basket hidden behind one of the rocks. Sans winked at you before pulling out two glasses and a bottle.
"I know you're not a fan of alcohol, so I got some sparkling spider cider." He said, his voice hard to hear over the roar of the water. He handed you the flute and you accepted it with a soft smile. Taking a sip, you were surprised to taste so much carbonation.
"This is delicious!" You said, taking another sip. Sans just grinned at you like you were the most precious thing in the world. Moving again, he pulled something else from behind the rock. Swinging his legs around, he rested the guitar on his lap. Strumming it once or twice, he made eye contact with you before starting to sing.
All of me,
Loves all of you.
All your curves and all your edges,
All your perfect imperfections.
His deep voice resonated though the cave. By the second verse, his eyes were closed in concentration, his voice growing more and more emotional. You listened to the lyrics and felt the tears building again. You took another sip of your cider to try to keep yourself calm, but by the time he opened his eyes again, you had tears streaming down your face.
Sans placed the guitar off to the side and opened his arms for you. Placing your glass to the side, you threw yourself at him again, knocking him back. You laughed and cried into his shoulder, blubbering something over and over.
"I love you too babe." He said warmly, holding you close. "But the day isn't over yet."
You pulled back, eyes wide with shock. Wiping your face, you tried to tell him he didn't need anything else. Today had already been the best day of your life, but he wasn't taking any of it. Packing up the blanket in a single snap, he held his hand out for you again.
"Why are we at Grillby's?" You asked, not that you were upset about being at your favorite restaurant. Sans held up a finger, telling you 'you'll see'. You followed him up to the bar and saw an ice cream Sunday and two jars filled with what looked like pieces of papers.
"It seems like the day has been working out quite well." Grillby said with a faint smile. You grinned wide and smiled.
"Absolutely amazing." You smiled at Sans, who linked his fingers with yours.
"How about we share some ice-mazing treats?" Sans asked with a cheesy wink. You shook your head with a grin and slid into your usual seat. The bar was more empty than usual, but those who were there were trying to discretely watch your date. Halfway through your treat, you asked what the jars were for.
"The one on the left was something I had been working on for a few months. It was a coincidence that I finished it in time for Valentine's Day. The one on the right is something I made especially for today." He slid the one from the left over to you. Curiously, you unscrew the lid and take a piece of paper from the jar.
She always smiles at me when we see each other in town, and she always compliments my pet brother.
It was a note from the rabbit lady in Snowdin. You pulled out another. It was another thing someone from town liked about you. You realized that's what all the notes were, little notes telling you why everyone like you.
"You used to have real self-esteem issues, so I started getting this together before we even started dating. There's one from every monster in the whole Underground, in case you ever need a pick me up." He slid the second jar to you.
The first piece of paper said 'eyes' in familiar handwriting. The next simply said 'smile'.
"What's this all about?" You asked, not sure what was happening.
"Now, this one was all me. Every time I found something new that I loved about you, I would write it on a piece of paper and put them in this jar." He said as you pulled more papers from the jar. 'laugh', 'goofy face', 'movie commentary', sleepy voice'.
The tears were coming again. With each one you read, the tears flowed faster and faster down your cheeks.
"S-sans…" You looked up at him, hands shaking with all the emotions building up in you.
"And every day I find more things to add to the jar." He wiped your cheek and took your hand. "I've never had anyone to spend Valentine's Day with before, so I wanted to make it as memorable as possible."
"I don't think I could ever forget today." You gave his hand a squeeze. "I have something planned for you too, but it's not this amazing."
"Anything you planned is going to be perfect, because it's coming from you." He leaned in and rested his forehead against yours.
"You'll just have to wait until tonight then." You pulled back and gave him a flirty wink. His skull flushed blue when he realize what you said and called Grillby over to order lunch. You hadn't realized how late it had gotten since you left the house after breakfast.
You and Sans sat in the bar for a few hours, talking and laughing and simply having a good time. Grillby never tried to kick you out. In fact, he put the tab on the house, for the special day.
You made your way back to the house, hand in hand and heart filled to the seams with love. Opening the door, you both fell inside, trying to get away from the cold as quickly as possible. You were ready for your part of the plan.
"Why don't you go wait in your room." You said seductively. Well, you tried to say it seductively but you probably ended up sounding nervous. Either way, you had never seen Sans so eager or anxious about anything before.
He teleported to his room, and you pulled the bag from its special hiding place. Going to the bathroom, you changed into the fancy underwear you picked out specifically for today. You felt your nerves failing with every second you struggled with the straps, but you refused to give up. After everything Sans did for you, this was the least you could do.
You put Sans' favorite jacket on over the lingerie, zipping the blue hoodie up almost all the way before heading to his door.
Knocking twice, you opened it slowly. Sans was sitting on his bed, anxiously bouncing his foot against the floor. As soon as the door opened his eyes shot to you, his blush burning even brighter when he saw you weren't wearing pants.
You sauntered over to him and made a show of slowly unzipping the jacket. With a flourish, you drop the jacket to the ground.
The look on his face was something you would never forget.
The sun shined through the window, waking you up gently. You were wrapped in Sans' arms, your bare chest warm against his naked bones. Your hips were sore, but in a good way. You stretched, feeling your back pop back into place after sleeping in such an odd position.
"Sans…" You whispered, trying to wake him up. After saying his name three more times, the skeleton finally opened an eye and gave you a lazily grin.
"Morning babe." He blinked slowly. "What's with that look?"
You didn't realize you were making a face. Gathering the blanket around your naked body you snuggled in closer to his body.
"Nothing. I just love you" You said and yawned. Sans chuckled and placed a kiss on the top of your head.
"Love you too babe."
I wanted to write something special for Valentine's Day. I know I haven't been focusing on this story as much as I should, but I'm finally starting to get back into reading actual books again. I can write and do other things at the same time, but when I read I'm completely absorbed by the story. I cannot multitask when I'm reading.
Updates are going to slow, but are not going to stop, not for a very long time!
Suggestions are open again! I don't know if I said it on the last chapter, but I opened them up first on the tumbr and got some pretty good ones. So now the suggestion list is opened again here as well!
I know Valentine's Day is super dumb, especially when you don't have a partner, but it doesn't have to be romantic love. Send some love to your family. Send some chocolates to your best friend. You never know how much a $1 box of chocolate can light up someone's day!
Until next time!
