Fire lessons 101
"sometimes i wonder how you even dodge so much...i get tired only looking at you." Papyrus scoffed.
"YOU"RE ALWAYS TIRED! AND EVEN THE DOG KNOWS IT! HE ALWAYS SNEEKS IN TO SLEEP WITH YOU SINCE YOU'RE TOO LAZY TO KICK HIM OUT!" Frisk giggled.
"Papy? That's actually my fault." Papyrus looked at her with a funny face.
"OH. HE'S STILL LAZY THOUGH!" Frisk snorted and Sans looked at his brother in disbelief.
"traitor." Sans said looking at his little brother. Frisk finished drinking her water and looked back at Undyne who was waiting to throw some spears at her and have a sparing match just like she liked to have with Gerson. Alphys was taking notes. Of Undyne, of course, not the fight. Toriel and Asgore were trying to watch together as Gorgette was third-wheeling hard. Frisk sighed. And the sparing match started. Like always the spears were coming from all around and green magic was surrounding her heart as she used her own spear she got from Undyne to block the attacks. Undyne never controlled her attacks well, when irritated or angry at least, so it wasn't a surprise some would miss her. However, one was going straight for the two skeleton brothers. When Frisk realized that she turned around, locked in place as her soul was green.
"SANS! PAPYRUS!!" Frisk screamed and everyone finally realized what was happening. Sans opened one eye lazily but the spear was too close for him to block it with blue magic after the shock he just had. Frisk didn't wait a second as she broke free from the green magic lounged at the spear and caught it. Her HP went down a bit...A bit more than anyone would have wanted. The tip stopped inches away from the brothers faces. Frisk sighed in relief and tossed the spear. Her hands were burning. She could smell the charred flesh and see the smoke. Oh god--
"FRISK! OH MY GOD!" Toriel said as she got up from where she was sitting with Asgore. Her hands were literally fumming right now.
"Gorgette, please let me get up!" Asgore said as he finally managed to get out of the girl's grip. She followed after Asgore as she realized what was happening.
"o-o-oh n-no!" Alphys said as she also came closer and Undyne ran towards the hurt human.
"ouch...?" Frisk said. She looked at her hands. That...was her flesh. Nothing some healing magic couldn't fix but still, ouch.
"Frisk! Oh my god! Your flesh is crisped!" Undyne said. Frisk sighed.
"It's fine really." Papyrus woke up from all the comotion and looked at Sans then at Frisk. When he noticed her hands, he immediately jumped up, panicked.
"FRISK! OH NO! WHAT HAPPENED!?? LET ME SEE!!" Frisk's eyes widened as the little skeleton reached for her hands.
"W-wait Papy, that's not a good ide--AHHHH!! OW!! THAT HURTS!!" Frisk said in a pained scream as pain shot through her palms. She shut her eyes tight and Sans finally came back to his senses. He picked Papyrus up and looked at Frisk's hands.
"i'm so sorry frisk...i should have stopped it--" Frisk gave him a tense smile and laughed, a bit awkwardly.
"I-it's fine really..Nothing some healing magic can't fix."She said hopeful. Sans frowned.
"but you're hurt..." Undyne then put a hand on Frisk's shoulder.
"I am so so sorry! To you punk and to bone buddy! I didn't mean to hurt anyone! I need to control my magic better." Toriel took Frisk's hands in her paws and started trying to use healing magic.
"I...i leared to treat burns just for this, since my magic is fire magic..." Asgore looked at Toriel and blushed.
"M-my magic is fire magic too!" Gorgette looked mad at that.
"No no no. No...Plus, it isn't the time for this..." She said. Frisk groaned in pain.
"That hurtssss..." She said. It was a bad burn, yes. But she could let it heal from itself...But it would probably leave a few marks and take wayyy too long.
"S-sorry I'm still not that good with healing magic." Toriel said. Frisk nodded. Suddenly Alphys frowned.
"F-Frisk-chan...y-you just b-broke free from Undyne's m-magic." Frisk's eyes widened and she started sweating bullets. Oh oh...Sans looked at Frisk confused.
"you were under green magic...?" Oh oh indeed.
"FRISK! YOU COULD BREAK FREE FROM OUR MAGIC ALL THIS TIME."
"May...be...?" Frisk said with a smile, laughing nervously.
"Oh fiddlesticks..." She said realizing what they were all thinking. Blue and green magic wrapped around her soul. her breath hitched for a second as 4 different people grabbed her soul.
"Ok that's heavy..." She said, her breaths becoming a bit more heavy. She then concentrated on breaking free and she did. Everyone's eyes widened.
"THAT'S SO COOL, PUNK!!" Undyne said slapping Frisk's back a bit too hard as she moved forward and she touched Toriel's paw. She winced.
"ow..." Undyne scrunched her face up at that.
"oh..uhh...sorry..." MK then came into view.
"Yo! Guys! You won't guess what i saw-- OH MY GOD! FRISK! ARE YOU OK?!" MK pushed Sans out of his way and came next to Frisk. Sans norrowed his sockets.
"mk. you know WE were already on that spot, right? find your own." Sans said giving the armless monster an unphased look. He norrowed his eyes for a second before he moved.
"Can't someon check on their friend, yo??"
|they can...just don't steal spots, please and thank you."
"you're lucky you're her best friend, yo!! But i'm gonna make her my girl." Sans snorted.
"big words coming from you...you're lucky you're her friend or i would have--"
"WOAH WOAH WOAH! YOUR MAGIC IS GETTING A BIT TOO HOT! STOP!" Toriel retracted her hands quickly. Yeah...clearly a work in progress. Frisk looked at her hands as the two monsters who were just fighting were glaring at each other.
"Guess we're doing this my grandma's way." She put her hands in the snow and picked some up.
"I am going home to get some honey." Everyone was confused.
"Why would you need...honey..?" Asgore asked, raising a brow. Frisk shrugged.
"I can't say exactly why it helps, but it kinda shoots the pain of small burns and at this point Toriel made it kind of small. The snow melted in Frisk's hands and she picked up some more.
"Sooo...i'm going." Frisk said pointing at the brothers house not too far from them. Sans looked at her hands.
"so you're putting honey...on that?" Frisk nodded.
"Who thought you that?" Gorgette asked, confused like the others. Frisk froze for a second but then sighed.
"My abuela......Now, you can come with if you want, but i need to keep the honey on for some time." Sans and his brother raised their hands. Toriel and Asgore did too and Gorgette did as well, when she saw Asgore do it, then MK, because. Undyne and Alphys shrugged.
"We're going to hang around outside, maybe with Mettaton and Napstablook." Frisk shrugged.
"H-H-Have f-fun!" The others started walking towards the skeleton's house. As soon as they entered, Frisk asked.
"GASTER?? DO WE HAVE SOME HONEY??" The man mumbled something inchoerent before loudly yelling:
"CUPBOARD, UP, LEFT." Frisk looked at the cupboard that was up. She looked at Sans, hopeful. He looked behind him, then at his human best friend, poiting at himself.
"hmm, what me??" He asked confused.
"Blue magic, dummy."
"oh." He helped her with his magic and she managed to get the honey. She flicked the cap off, which left the kids in awe at how easily she did that, and took home honey and put it on her hands.
"okkk. now it's just the waiting game until it kinda does something." Asgore looked down.
"I kinda want some tea..." Sans shrugged.
"We don't know how to use the sto--...ve." But Frisk already took out a box of matches and lit the stove on. She got a pot, carefully trying not to smeer honey all over it, then she filled it with water. Frisk looked at Sans.
"I...can't really grab that.." Sans nodded and put Papyrus down.
"YOU CAN COOK FRISK??" Sans put the pot on the stove.
"that's not cooking paps."Sans said,amused. Frisk nodded.
"It isn't...but i can cook indeed." Sans looked at Frisk tilting his head, shooting her a look. They've been living together for quite some time. How come he didn't know all this stuff??
"why don't you cook then? i've never seen you around the stove." Frisk norrowed her eyes at the stove.
"It's not really that i don't like it...it's the memories it brings. Plus, i hate fire." Frisk says.
"Why? I find it quite beautiful!"The goat monster nodded as Toriel said, smiling. Gorgette scoffed. Frisk raised her honey smeered hands and the water starts bubbling. She taked down the tea bags. The monsters didn't seem conviced yet that she hates fire. She sighed...Then she picks up her sweater, using her elbows, and lifting it, revealing a strange looking mark. She smiles sadly. Sans sockets went blank. Oh....oh....OH!
"SO YOU PLAYED WITH FIRE AND NOW YOU'RE SCARED?? NYEH HEH HOOO....I'M SORRY..." Frisk smiled, a bit tense. She wanted to pat his head...but the honey said otherwise.
"It's fine!" But it didn't look like it to Sans.
That night Sans couldn't sleep. He decided to go to his nightmare buddy: 1. to get answears 2. to get sleep. Best plan ever. He also hasn't been in Frisk's room for quite some time since, in the last few weeks she has been the one coming to him. He also knows she renovated her room. He teleported to her door and knocked slightly. This time he was greeted by a tired Frisk in her pj's. She had bandages on her hands.
"hmm....Sans...? you had another nightmare or can't sleep...?" She said rubbing her eyes.
"the second option....can i come in..?" Frisk smiled and nodded. He relaxed and stepped in only to stop as he looked around. There were stars, constelations on the ceiling. The ceiling was surrounded by flowers with bush-y type of leaves, some of the flowers falling down like vines as other flowers glowed lightly. There were colors he didn't even know where they were coming from and she painted her walls with flowers as well. It looked so...peaceful...Like a nighttme paradise. He smiled and starte chuckling.
"frisk...your room looks...woah..." Frisk smiled as she patted the seat next to her on the bed. The two layed down on the bed and looked up.
"The consetllations i just finshed yesterday...i...it was kind of a surprise for you..hehe.." Sans looked at her and smiled.
"i love it!" She looked at him and smiled as well. They both looked in their inventory and took out the plushies. They had a thing where, if they went to each others room, they would put the plushies aside, since the real person was there. Anddd they went to each other quite a lot...almost nightly.
"sooo..care to explain the whole fire thingy..?" Frisk looked up.
"It's not hard to explain. My parents were harsh with punishments when they were alive..." Sans sat up and frowned.
"they burned you...?" Frisk shrugged.
"It's nothing really i'm fi--" But Sans hugged her. He may act though but he always had a thing for pulling Frisk in unexpected or expected hugs. He was touchy...kinda like a cat. Heh....he was also lazy like one. He even like fish and chips...Theory solved, he's a cat!! Nah, joking. Unless..?
"never..never think what they did was ok...and if fire makes you uncomftarble, tell me, ok? if anything makes you uncomftarble tell me! i promised i would protect my best friend and nightmare buddy! who will i do pranks with if not you..?" Frisk seemed to think about it for a second, like it was a serious question and not rethorical.
"Toriel..?" Sans snorted.
"i know she likes puns, that's why she's my best pun buddy but...let's be honest, she has less guts than i do to do a good prank." Frisk snorted.
"Would you look at that? I am full of guts! They're all bloody and jumbled inside of me, but they're there."
"bleaghhhh...grosssss." They both started laughing.
"Do you think Toriel is mad i took her title as your best friend..?" Sans snorted.
"1. she probably never noticed she was my best friend since we weren't THIS close..I mean i didn't connect with her from a traumatic point of view, you know?? 2. she's all over asgore to even care!" They both sat in silence.
"Wanna trick Undyne into betting with us that Toriel and Asgore will end together instead of him and Gorgette...?" Frisk asked. Sans looked at her for a second.
"oh you bet i wanna." They sat looking up some more, their hands lightly touching. Frisk fell asleep first. Sans looked at her a bit. His look saddened.
"have i killed you so much that you still don't trust me enough...? what do i need to do for you to trust me...maybe trust you back more..?" Sans sighed, then smiled.
"but i'm ok with this." He let his hand intertwine with hers and she softly smiled in her sleep.He was content with that and allowed himself to also slowly drift off to sleep.
