Day One-
Curtain awoke the next morning, as she sat up and stretched her arms. She got up and started her morning routine from the bathroom to the kitchen. Her clothes were changed into black jeans, a black leather jacket that was open in the front and showed a purple shirt she wore under, with her scarf around her neck as always, and her hair tied in a low ponytail.
After cooking some eggs and bacon, she put them in a small Italian bread loaf like a sandwich and ate it. Then she put all the dishes, including a frying pan, her plate, a knife, and a small cleanable grill into the sink. She decided to wash them in that moment, since she was going to meet Marisol and their group of friends a little later that day.
As she washed the dishes her mind replayed last night, and she thought,
'What was I thinking making a deal like that with him? I mean, I'm completely sure that I would NOT fall in love with him, but I made a deal with Death… half… but still, Death! My gosh… but what else could I have done? He would have come after me later, and I don't know if Toriel would be willing to send me boatloads of special flowers for the rest of my life! And even when I die, he'll take my Soul right there! Freaking, Skeleton, Reaper, dude!'
After finishing the dishes and drying her hands with a white cloth, Curtain spoke out loud, "Well, I have nothing to worry about. He won't make me fall in love with him in a month. That's impossible."
"Be careful what you say, love. The unexpected can sometimes become reality," Sans said, as he suddenly appeared sitting on the sink edge, and Curtain jumped back in fright.
"AHH! How did you-What are you doing here popping up like that?!" Curtain yelled, as she pointed at Sans with a pink flush dusting her nose and cheeks since he scared her.
"Oh, sorry sweetheart. I didn't mean to scare you to me," Sans said, as he started chuckling.
Curtain narrowed her eyes, as one of her eyebrows twitched from his little joke.
"Your quite the comedian, aren't you?" Curtain asked, as she straightened herself and relaxed her shoulders.
"Well, I gotta have a Sanse of humor in my profession. It keeps me from full-blown depression," Sans replied, and Curtain bit her lip in understanding.
Then Curtain looked at Sans and noticed that his clothes were different. He wore a blue, open leather jacket, and a black, hooded t-shirt underneath. He wore black fingerless gloves, but they couldn't be seen since his hands where within his jacket pockets. He wore gray trousers, with black and blue-striped sneakers. Although he didn't carry his scythe, Curtain noticed that a scythe-blade-shaped shoulder pad draped over the left shoulder of his jacket.
"You got a new wardrobe?" Curtain asked, as she looked up at Sans after examining his clothing.
"Oh this… yeah, it's actually my more 'mortal' form. It prevents me from killing someone by contact unless I really want to," Sans replied, as he hopped off of the sink.
"Why don't you travel in this form so that no one would be afraid if they saw you?" Curtain asked.
"I prefer my original form since my powers are not hindered, and I occasionally get a kick out of scarring folks," Sans replied, as he smirked at Curtain, while she signed.
"So, like… what do you plan on doing? To make me fall in love with you?" Curtain asked, carefully.
"You'll find out~" Sans said, with a wink, which made Curtain back up from him by a step with a serious expression.
"But you don't have to worry right now. Let's just hang out," Sans said.
"Well, I'm supposed to meet my friends today..." Curtain said, trying to see if she could get a freebie day.
"Then I'll come with you. Wherever you want to go," Sans said, with another wink, and Curtain signed.
"Alright, but don't tell any of them about our deal, okay?" Curtain insisted, and Sans nodded.
Curtain and Sans left the house and headed for the city. She drove them there by car to meet her friends by the side of the pier, which was the main attraction of the city. It was closest to a huge mall that they were going to hang out at, especially the outside food court. After they found parking, Curtain and Sans headed for the pier to meet her friends first.
Marisol was one of the friends, and the others were: Joseph, Hare, Karol, and Rini.
Joseph is a male human with green eyes and short brown hair, a white flannel shirt with blue lines, brown pants, white sneakers, and black shades which he wears at all times.
Hare is a male white rabbit monster with black spiky hair on his head, a red sweater with white outlined pockets, green sunglasses folded on the top of his sweater, black pants, and no shoes.
Karol is a female human with brown eyes and curly long light-brown hair, a white blouse with a yellow jacket, blue jean shorts to her knees, white wedge heels, and a green purse over her shoulder.
Rini is a white female rabbit monster with black eyes and straight black hair that covered over one of her eyes, a purple dress up to her knees, a black scarf on her neck, and black leggings with black shoes.
Marisol is a female human with long red-orange hair to her lower waist and bangs curled just above her eyes, an orange dress that reached just below her knees with white long-sleeves, black leggings, and a black belt around her waist with short white boots and a red handbag over her shoulder.
Joseph and Karol are dating, Hare and Rini are siblings, and Marisol and Curtain are like siblings.
As Curtain approached her group of friends, who were talking with one another and laughing, she became increasingly aware of Sans walking next to her.
'What would they think of him? I hope they don't start getting any ideas... He's just a Death Reaper who came into my house last night to take my Soul and we made a deal which includes both of our Souls… I'll just say he's my friend, I guess,' Curtain thought, as she looked towards Sans suspiciously, while he noticed.
"Don't worry Curtain. We're just friends. I'll let them know that," Sans said, and Curtain felt a little relief.
Then the group noticed Curtain and greeted her.
"Hey Curtain, what's up?" -Joseph
"Curtain! Your finally here!" -Karol
"Took ya time, huh Curtain?" -Hare
"Hello Curtain. How are you?" -Rini
"Yo, sis. What's up?" -Marisol
"Hey guys, I'm all good. Are you ready to go?" Curtain asked, as she stood before her friends, while Sans stood next to her.
"Yeah. But before that, who's this?" Marisol asked, referring to Sans, as the group became intrigued by the newcomer.
"This is Sans… Sans the skeleton. He's a friend and he's new here, so I decided to help him get settled in," Curtain replied, coolly.
"Oh! A skeleton monster. That's so cool," Karol said, as she extended a hand towards Sans and added,
"My name is Karol. This is my boyfriend Joseph, and our friends Hare, Rini, and Marisol."
Sans smile widened a bit, as he raised his hand to shake her own, and said, "Nice to meet'cha."
On contact, an awkward noise was heard, as Karol pulled her hand away from Sans and noticed a whoopie cushion on his hand. She gasped, as Joseph covered his mouth from laughter, Hare narrowed an eyebrow, Rini chuckled, and Marisol laughed while shaking her head.
"What is that?!" Karol asked, flushed with embarrassment.
"The old whoopie-cushion-in-the-hand trick. It works every time," Sans replied, as he put the whoopie cushion in his pocket.
"Prankster huh? I appreciate that profession. I'll let it slide just this once that you pranked my girlfriend though," Joseph said, as he wrapped his arms around Karol's shoulders, who held a pout on her face.
"I'll respect that," Sans said, and Joseph nodded in approval.
"Pretty cool dude you found Curtain. How'd you meet?" Hare asked.
"It was unexpected and unplanned," Curtain said with a shrug.
"Sounds interesting. Let's walk and talk to the mall," Marisol said, as she gestured to the building that was a short walk away.
The group started walking towards the mall, as Curtain's friends were asking Sans questions, and he responded to each while being able to let the others come up with conclusions as to where he's from without lying to them. Curtain found his way of speaking laudable, since he didn't lie to them. He even mentioned being a reaper and harvesting souls, which the others assumed he was a gamer and played Dark Souls. As they walked, Marisol moved closer to Curtain and said, without the others hearing,
"He's a cool guy so far."
"Yeah. Everyone thinks he's pretty cool," Curtain said.
"What do you think? Oh wait, I mean, what do you really think?" Marisol asked.
"What do you mean?" Curtain asked.
"What I mean is, I've known you for a long time, and I'm not sure you ever mentioned this guy to me before. I don't want to pry on your business too much, but you know," Marisol said, with narrowed eyes.
"We just met yesterday," Curtain said.
"Hm, that's quite suspicious though. Especially how you looked at him before you came over to us. You didn't even speak and he knew what you were thinking and talked. I thought I was the only one who could do that, and our friends here since we've known you so long," Marisol said, with suspicion.
Curtain signed, and decided to tell Marisol the truth, but she decided not to mention the deal,
"He really is who he said he is. He's the embodiment of Death, like a Grim Reaper. I met him last night, and he said I wasn't ready to die yet, but now he's been hanging around me in this 'mortal' form so that no one would die by close contact with him."
Marisol looked at Curtain in surprise, and then she looked towards Sans.
"It is odd that he's the only skeleton monster we've ever seen… and he did tell us he's a reaper… your not pulling-my-leg, are you Curtain?" Marisol asked, to be sure.
"I'm telling you the truth Marisol, but don't let the others know. I wouldn't want them to freak out," Curtain said, and Marisol nodded.
"Can you trust him?" Marisol asked.
"I'm going to find out," Curtain replied.
"That's not very relieving," Marisol said, with a pout.
"Don't worry, he won't bother any of you," Curtain said.
"I'm more worried about you," Marisol said, in concern.
"Don't. I'll be perfectly fine," Curtain said, reassuringly, and Marisol nodded.
'I will be… right?' Curtain thought.
I'm splitting Day One into two parts. This is part one.
See ya soon, my peeps. ;)
