Quantumtale After Life

"Sans!! Want to play on the D....s...oh...Uhh..sorry!" Frisk said realizing one of their classmates was with them. Her name was Sammy. She was a bunny monster. The bunny monster frowned. 

"Uhh. You should be? Heh...so dumb. Anyways Sansy~ what do you want to do the project about." Frisk looked down and started walking towards the kitchen to get some water. 

"first, don't call me that..uhh..second: that was rude?? and third...i dunno." Sammy rolled her eyes. 

"So i was thinking we should make our project about--" Frisk walked back with her water and as she was about to go up the stairs their eyes met. Sans gave her an apologetic look. Frisk smiled reassuringly and started walking to her room. The door closed behind her and Sans was left alone with this girl he barely knew and surely didn't like...She didn't compare with Frisk. She didn't ask for his opinion almost never, she was also really bratty. Kind of reminded him of sneaky-snakes...but even she was better. He hated this project and wished it would soon end. 

"Hey Sans want to...play...some cards....oh..Hi, Sammy...we're you here just yesterday..?" Sammy gave her an unphased look. 

"Frisk....so i was.....What are you doing here again..?"

"I...live...here..?" Frisk asked confused. The bunny's eyes widened. 

"OH MY GOD! Why didn't you tell me she will be here every time?? Ugh. Can you go and do homework or something? We're busy!" Frisk backed away, taken by surprise at the sudden outburst. 

"Sorry...to interrupt, i guess..i..i'll just go, hehe.." Frisk said awkwardly as she gestured to her room. She almost tripped on the stairs as she climbed up. Sans frowned. 

"listen, i get you want to do this project but THAT was totally uncalled for. what the hell is wrong with you?!" Sammy dismissed  him. 

"What is wrong with YOU?? Why do you care so much. Ugh, she's totally manipulating you. Anyways! So, as i was saying about my weekend--" Oh he wanted her out of his house but he needed this grade. Damn he hated classes when they made group projects. 

"heya fris...ky.." Sans tried to say but he saw that she seemed to be busy. MK was pushing her away as he was trying to show her something. He frowned. He didn't like this...

"Sansy~ You should totally come over to my house today!! We can finish the project in peace there!! See you after school!!" Sans wanted to say something but the bunny was already hoping away. 

"...i hate this week..."

~~~~~~

"Sans! Let's go ho..me....together....oh." Frisk said watching the skeleton getting dragged by the bunny in the opposite direction. 

"Guess...i'm going home alone today...great!..." Toriel put a reassuring hand on her shoulder. 

"Don't worry Frisk...I don't really like that girl, to be honest. She's got nothing on you..." 

"Yeah punk! You're way cooler. Right, Alph??" Alphys nodded. Gorgette came and looked at Frisk and scoffed. 

"Don't look so sad. She's totally a brat. You're better." Frisk smiled. 

"Thanks Gorgette. That's really nice of you!" Gorgette blushed.

"Whatever...See ya tomorrow." Everyone started walking towards their homes when MK came. 

"Oh. Frisk! Wanna walk together..?? I saw Sans leave earlier--"

"I know....Yeah, sure. I'll take you up on that offer." MK jumped up excitedly. 

"ALRIGHT!!" They both started walking, from time to time Frisk would glance backwards in hope of seeing the skeleton. But he was nowhere to be seen. 

"frisk..?" Sans asked confused as he entered her room. She...wasn't there..?

"dad, have you seen frisk?" Sans asked as he teleported in the kitchen. 

"Oh! She already left with MK this morning! Why?" Sans frowned. 

"nothing. just wanted to ask if she wanted to walk to school together..." Gaster shrugged. 

"Alright. Oh and Frisk isn't coming home today...nor tomorrow actually! She's sleeping at Toriel's for two days." Sans froze, his sockets going blank. 

"what now..?" Gaster nodded. 

"She got a call yesterday when you were still gone. She was so excited. I think she won't be home until the weekend. If you want, you can call that girl..what was her name? Samm--"

"NO!" Sans said a bit too loud. He sighed.

"i'll just go...see ya later." 

~~~~~~~

"fri-....sk..." Sans tried to say as he noticed her in the crowd but this time the girls were pulling her away. Damn it, he bearly catches her!!

"Sansy! Come sit with my friends!!" The bunny girl said as he was pulled away. Suddenly Frisk looked at him for a second. He could feel his soul flutter in his chest. He forgot how he missed her eyes. She smiled softly and sadly before turning away again. He could feel his soul drop as she left the cafeteria. No...His damn chance was ruined again. He. hated. this. week!!

~~~~~~

He had three minutes to catch up to her before she left with Toriel. He needed to be quick. Even an actual 'hi' was enough, he just wanted one second to--

"Sans! Heya bone buddy, wassup?" Said Undyne as she patted Sans back. No...NO! 

"hey undyne, alph. i really want to catch frisk right now so if you guys could excuse me--" Undyne looked confused. 

"But she already left 10 minutes ago. Dude, you're really bad at catching her. You always come late to the cafeteria and you keep missing her in breaks. That's sad bro." 

"S-she's right S-Sans-kun." Sans sighed. 

"damn it...i..i don't know what's been going on this week. we barely catch each other!!..ughhh.." He sat down frowning. 

"Not to mention that chick, Sammy. It's like she's stopping you on purpose." Sans froze. Sammy...Of course! It started out with her. Damn that girl...

"w-well we better get g-going w-we're late for T-toriel's!! B-bye!!" The two waved at him and left. He teleported away. 

Oh, this time he could catch her! This time he could catch her at lunch. She's there!! Just go and-- What was grabbing him. Oh no..

"Sansy~~ come on! Our table is here!"

"w-wait!!" He was about to protest more but he couldn't he was already being dragged by that bunny. He looked at Frisk and the two let their eyes meet again. Sans tried to shot her a pleading look but she gave him a sad smile and was already looking away. The girls all got up and left. No...NO!! Sans struggled a bit but then let himself be dragged further away as his chance was dead. Why couldn't he just get 1 minute with her...?

Finally, Frisk was coming home in a few hours. The phone started ringing. Gaster answered. 

"Hello? Yes, Wing Dings Gaster speaking. How may i help you?" There was a heavy silence. Gaster froze and his face darkened. 

"W-what...?" He asked a bit shakingly. He tightened his grip around the telephone. 

"I-Is--" But he got interrupted as he fell silent again. He sighed and relaxed. 

"Thank you so much for informing us. I will arrive shortly." Gaster ended the call and put on a jacket. As he was about to leave, Sans grabbed his hand. 

"where you going, pops?" Sans asked. Gaster frowned then looked away in guilt. 

"Frisk is umm...she got food poisoning and she's in the hospital....I need to go check on her. She'll probably get out on Monday--" Sans stiffened and backed away. 

"h...hospital..?" Gaster put up his hands. 

"Sans, calm down. It's noting truly serious, it's just a small food poisoning, ok? Now stay here...And bring me some of her clothes. She'll need those. Sans got some clothes and put them in a bag for Gaster, then the older skeleton teleported. 

"SANS..? WHAT HAPPENED?? WHERE IS FRISK??" Sans sighed. 

"she's got food poisoning....won't be home till monday...she's in the hospital." Papyrus gasped.

"SHE DID EAT SOME AWFULLY CANNED THINGS TWO DAYS AGO...I THINK IT WAS MEAT! SHE ALSO DRANK GRAPE JUICE!" Sans sockets widened. 

"grape juice..? damn it paps, she's allergic to that stuff!!....awfully canned meat? ugh- those have expired a week ago...i told dad to throw that away!!" Sans looked worriedly out the window. 

"I AM SURE SHE WILL BE FINE!!" Sans nodded, reluctantly. 

It was lonely. This week he discovered just how much he actually cared for Frisk and her company. How badly it would affect him if she left, was scary. At first he didn't want to admit it. But now?? He was 100% sure...He didn't care it was dumb. He needed her. Way more than he wanted to admit. He looked up at the ceiling and frowned. He was going soft, but....he missed playing cards with her, playing together when their legs were entangled, talking about anything and everything, star gazing, listening to music, heck even doing homework!! He hated how Sammy was trying to replace Frisk with herself. Sammy was bratty and loud, always angry. Frisk however was kind, calm, yes she was reckless and could go mad in one second but that just made her Frisk. He would honestly be fine just with a hug at this point....He was desperate. He wanted to fall asleep holding her hand again...to prank someone...to hang out again. Man this week was the worse. He pulled out the plushie she made for him and hugged it as he fell asleep. 

A soft knock woke Frisk up in her first night back at home. She got home just two hours before, when the brothers were asleep. She opened the door, rubbing her eyes when two hands wrapped around her and a head was on her shoulder. A skull, to be specific. Frisk wrapped her arms around him in return as they stayed in that hug for a while. Sans then started crying, which left Frisk dumbfound. She snorted. 

"Are you crying, silly-bones..?"

"...maybe...i just really...really missed you..." Frisk smiled as she buried her head in his shoulder as well. 

"I missed you too...." 

"....don't ever do that again...?" He said as they went in her room. They sat down on the bed and she finally asked:

"do what...?"

"...be away for so long like that. i don't care if undyne, sammy, alph or whoever is with me ok? if you say you want to do something and i can't, at least...stick around....please..." Frisk intertwined her fingers with his as she looked at him, amused. They both blushed. 

"...i will...but you do the same, ok??" Sans smile turned into a genuine one. 

"..i promise." They both smiled at each other. Sans pressed his teeth on her head as he gave her a kiss on the forehead. She giggled. 

"That's what your dad used to do." Sans smiled. 

"that's how he showed affection, right?" Frisk blushed. 

"i liked it..." She said. She then poked his nasal cavity. He chuckled. 

"aw man i missed you....." Frisk smirked smugly. 

"That's cause you love me~~"

"pfft- no more cheesy stuff."

"but i loveeee~ you and you loveeee~ me!" Sans started laughing quietly and then flicked her in the head. 

"good night you dummy..." Frisk scoffed, but then hugged her favorite skeleton. That took his by surprise. 

"night night silly-bones." Sans stayed like that for a few seconds, until he hugged her back and the two fell asleep like that. 

Moral of the story: Tell Frisk to read the damn labels on any cans...and to stop drinking grape juice.
