Chapter 18
"frisk, i am making you toasted gryphon if you don't get off of my head." Sans said as Frisk was sitting on his head like he was some pillow. She put her little hands on his eyes and blew a raspberry at him. Sans scoffed and picked her by the back of her neck like a kitten. She swang her little feet around and whimpered. he laughed.
"oh my god i am carrying you like this." She tried to say something, as she was swinging her arms and legs aimlessly and it sounded like a small roar. Sans spurted and then started laughing at her. She bit his hand and he let go.
"ok..that kinda hurt." Sans said looking at her with narrowed eyes. She rubbed the back of her neck and stuck her tongue out at him. Suddenly she got another call from Alphys. She answeared.
"I noticed you were kind of quiet...Are you w-worried about meeting Asgore..?" Frisk froze. She almost forgot about the King. Sans smile seemed to flattered a bit at the edges. Silence.
"...w-well, don't worry, ok? The King is a really nice guy...I'm sure you can talk to him, and... with your monster soul you can pass through the barrier. S-so no worrying, ok? J-just forget about it and smile!"
"Forget about it and smile. little girl! He isn't coming back!"
"Forget about it and smile Frisk! That man is finally leaving you alone!"
"Forget about it and smile! We can finally get rid of you!"
Frisk dropped the phone and put both hands in her hair as she was franatically seraching something, she didn't know what it was either. No...No...NO! Why should she forget?! Why should she smile?! Why should she always be the one to go on when shit happened. She was tired. SHE DIDN'T ASK FOR THIS?! All these humans were trying to kill her and she's been nothing but kind! Sans noticed her panic.
"woah! pidge! calm down...shit, alph... the fuck did you say?!" The scientist on the phone was confused.
"i-i-i don't k-know!!" Her eyes were changing colors and she changed to her bigger form. She was craddling herself and murmuring like a lunatic. He pulled her in a hug.
"snap out of it sweetheart!" Her eyes stopped changing. One was blue and the other orange. She blinked, like she just remembered where she was.
"..starlight...?" Sans sighed in relief.
"i'm right here pidge....i'm right here..." She hugged him back and her hug tightened. Sans picked up the phone.
"next time when you call? you better have a reason to do so."
"w-wait-" But he already closed the call.
"That was rude..." Frisk said with her face burried in his shirt. He ran a hand through his hair.
"...i know, flower....i know..." Sans said patting her head.
"will you apologize for it..?" Frisk asked.
"...maybe..." He said with a shrugg. Frisk yawned.
"you tired..?" Frisk giggled.
"i'd be lying if i were to say a killer robot didn't tire me out a bit. Sans chuckled.
"wanna take a nap? i can carry you...if i know where we are...we are getting close to a place that needs a lot of energy..." Frisk sighed.
"ok..." He smiled and she changed to her small size. She was now sleeping on his arm like a cat. Her tail hanging and wagging from time to time. He was curious what got her so panicked. He walked slower, buying as much time as he could for her to sleep. Even 30 minutes was perfect. Just so she could catch some energy. The elevator was slowly taking them up as he finished strolling around with the speed of a grandma. He shouldn't do this..but he was curious to see what got the kid so scared. He decided he should use his magic. He put a finger on her head and let his magic flow. Time stopped and he was now in Frisk's memories. It looked like a city. A poorer side of it, but the city nontheless.
He didn't know what memory it was. Then he saw two kids. An older kid holding a little kids hand. It didn't take long for him to realize the younger kid from the two was Frisk. They both were dressed in dirty and baggy clothes.
"come on Frisky...can you walk a bit longer for me...?" Frisk nodded and started walking, she almost tripped.
"...ok..up you go!" The older kid picked her up. Her eyes twinkled.
"up!" She said excited. The older kid chuckled.
"yes Frisk..Up! Thank god you're starting to speak...i was growing worried..." The kid walked away with her and the memory faded.
"LOUISSSS!!!" Says tiny Frisk as Sans realized the kids were now behind him.
"heya Frisky! watcha got there..?"
"I got this thing called...choco...uhh.." The older kid laughed.
"That's chocolate Frisky."
"choco!"
"...pfft- fine...choco. Come'ere." The memory faded.
"why do we have to live on the streets..can we get a home..?"
"it costs money Frisky..."
"hmm..what if i get money?"
"don't steal Frisk."
"....okie..."
"one day..we'll live in a hella nice house and have a big family ok? And when we will both be parents to children, we will be better parents than mom and pops ever been. ok?"
"OK!! hehe!"
"come on..i found a place where we can sleep tonight..."
"Can we go star gazing first?"
"I don't see why not. Let's go." The memory changed again.
"WINGS STRAIGHT FRISK!"
"this is harddddd...." Frisk groaned. They were now in a forest.
"COME ON FRISK!"
"THE GAP IS AS SMALL AS MY FUCKING FINGER!"
"LANGUAGE!"
"OH FUCK YOUUUU!!"
"GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE DEMON!"
"NOOOO- I DON'T WANNA DIE YET! AHHHHH!!" Laughter was filling the forest as the two were flying after each other. Sans watched and smiled at the sight. Suddenly Frisk hit a tree.
"BUAHAHAHAH!!" Laughed Louis.
"owwww...no fair!"
"it's all fair in love and war, my dear Frisk." Frisk scoffed.
"i hate you.."
"love ya too, lil sis."
"you met a real scientist?! WOAH!"
"yeah! i passed the orphanage! he had a lab coat and everything!"
"Man that's so cool...i wanna meet him!!"
"pfft. you might..one day..."
"hmm..? what does that mean..?"
"nothing...don't worry about it.."
"Louis...? LOUIS!!! LOUISSSSS!!" It was pouring outside. Blood. Frisk was covered in blood. She stumbled upon a body on the streets.
"L-Louis...?" She said as she approached the body. Sans froze. She was rained, covered in blood and dirty.
"L-Louis this isn't funny...y-you can't do this when it's raining.." Her bare feet were making little sounds as she was going through the thick puddles. The body wasn't moving, blood still sleeping from it in the puddle. When Frisk saw the blood she ran and knelt next to the body.
"B-big bro...p-please! Come on! T-This isn't funny...DON'T LEAVE ME! LOUISSSSS!!!" Sans looked at the crying Frisk, as she was cradling her brothers body. He knelt down. All he wanted to do was pull her in a hug.
"i'm so sorry buttercup.." The kid looked in his direction. Sans froze for a second, thinking she saw him, but then saw someone standing behind him. He had a mask.
"dr. *$%^&# !!"
"Let's go...Frisk.."
"B-but Louis..."
"I'm sorry..he's gone..."
"n-no....W-wha..?"
"Let's go..."
"o-ok..."
"Do not worry, child. I will take care of you at the orphanage.." Frisk froze.
"I-i'm going in the devil's home..?" The man chuckled a bit.
"come on now..." She grabbed his hand and everything faded.
"LOOK!! DR.!!" Frisk said showing a paper with what seemed to be pitagora's theoreme done on a triangle. Wasn't she bearly 10 in this..?
"OH MY GOD! FRISK! WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FACE?!"
"Oh that..? some kids picked on me so they could steal my lunch cookies!" The man frowned behind the mask.
"come Frisk..i'm going to teach you some cool science in return, ok?"
"SCIENCE! WEEE!!"
"hahahah! yes, science. weee!"
"Frisk...you keep getting beaten up not by kids, but by teachers and mentors as well..why don't you do something! we already talked about you having magic! look at your tiny fireballs!" She looked like she was 12 or 13 here.
"nahh...it's no use really. it would only make things worse." The man smiled and ruffled her hair.
"you are too good for this world...wanna mix some chemicals."
"if you make me use sulfur again and don't tell me how to do it properly...i am going to kill you." The man snorted.
"no sulfur promise...nitrogen however."
"yeaahh...no. i'm going mopping."
"Frisk! waitttt!! Come back! I was only joking!"
"lalalalala!!"
"Friskkkkkk!!" Sans smiled as he saw the bond between the man who picked her off the streets strenghten. He wanted to kill everyone in this building for ever hurting her.
"unbelievable! They made you dance instead of letting you come down here to learn science. Is that a corset?!"
"no shit.." Frisk said rolling her eyes. She was 15 or16 now. She was starting to grow into the Frisk he knew today.
"disgusting behaviour. Come here, let me help you take it off."
"is it so you can pick some more fur without me growing suspicious..?"
"noooo....ok, can't you just give me your comb..?"
"NO!!"
"shhh...its alright frisk...shhh..i am right here."
"he just...and then he...it felt so bad...it hurts...it hurts so bad....it was sticky and yucky and..."
"shh...That son of a gun...i am getting him fired this instant for this! Don't worry Frisk...you didn't do anything wrong..."
"they all think i'm a slut now.."
"tsk- this kids don't have any manners or common sense..Frisk, rape isn't something you should be ashamed of." She started crying even more.
"Oh god-- please stop crying! I-i don't know what to do!" This man surely sucked at making her feel better in this situation that's for sure.
"H-he's gone...? He can't be gone...NO! HE CAN'T BE GONE!" She was 17 and fighting with an old woman, dressed in a long grimm and black dress.
"Forget about it and smile Frisk! That man is finally leaving you alone!" Those words...what Alphys told her....Of course she panicked...God damn it..
"BUT I WANT HIM HERE!! N-no...he was my last family..."
"correct he was! such a bad influence!" Sans snarled at the woman. If he could, he would cut her head off.
"n-no...." Frisk was on her knees, crying. Sans was about to try and hug her when everything turned to fog. The memory faded.
"Forget about it and smile! We can finally get rid of you!" Frisk laughed.
"I AM the one getting rid of your sorry asses, classes and lectures. FUCK YOU ALL!!" Frisk said with two middle fingers in the air as she left with a bag of clothes. That's his girl. He smiled fondly at her, as she was skipping down the street, finaly getting rid of them. The memory changed again.
Frisk was drunk ad knocked out at the table, with bills in her hands. It was clear she was money problems. But...he hated seeing her like this.
"I'm sorry..." She mutered as tears started rolling down on her face.
Suddenly, in front of him appeared Louis...floating over her. He looked at Sans and smiled. Sans looked behind him and realized no one else was there.
"take care of my baby sis for me ok..?" Sans looked at the monster and smiled, a sad understanding smile.
"no problem..." The human said. Louis smiled satisfied.
"see ya around then..."
And he opened his eyes to see her still sleeping in his arms in the elevator taking them to Muffet's den. This kid...She was so strong. He cradled her as she was sleeping and she woke up.
"sorry sweetheart..did i wake you up." She got on her legs and put her hands on his cheeks then looked him in the eyes. She sighed and wiped the tears he didn't even know were streaming down.
"pfft...come on.." They walked out of the elevator and were walking on fancy purple stone. Frisk percked up. Then she saw a beautiful lady with dark hair in a bun and a beautiful purple dress. She was serving tea. Around her, were spiders. Frisk however loved the humans look. She was gorgeous. She went into her bigger form only so she could compliment her.
"oh. my. god. Your dress is gorgeous!" Frisk said as her tail was wagging from side to side. Both humans were interested in that. So Frisk liked Muffet's tailoring?
"hue hue hue~ why thank you dearie~" Frisk smiled as she leaned on the table with croissants and dough-nuts. She remembered she did see spiders sell something similar in the ruins.
"i will have to admit, dearie~ you are very pretty~" Frisk flushed a bit.
"Oh- haha! No no no, i'm not really. But that dress, may i ask wat material you used, may i touch it if it's not a problem? I won't rip it! I can retract my claws!" The woman started dumbfound for a second before laughing.
"My my~ someone that loves fashion and has actual good taste is quite hard to come across in the Underground! i do believe you've met Mettaton...That robot has no taste in anything...especially has no brain when it comes to filming movies." Frisk giggled. Poor Sans had to sit by as the two talked for 15 minutes straight about fashion.
"Oh i see you are quite cultured, you are just not so fond in wearing them. I do appreciate the knowledge~ Hue hue hue~" Frisk smiled.
"I would love to wear such a dress on special ocassions! They work so well with your make-up as well~ It truly compliments your skin tone."
"Oh dearie~ you're going to make me blush." Sans was growing impacient and jelous.
"ya ya ok ok we've taken quite the break, let's go." Frisk was pulled by her hand and got to wave at the human with spiders. She walked happily alongside Sans.
"jeez you've taken quite the time there, haven'cha?" Frisk smiled.
"i do have it with fashion..i just don't use my own advice!" They arrived at another pipe puzzle and Frisk's phone started ringing. Sans frowned. He knew it was Alphys.
"H-hi! This room is like one of the rooms we saw before! There are two puzzles, to the north and to the south! You'll have to solve them both to proceed. A-also i'd like to say...i don't really like giving away puzzle solutions...But if you need help, just call me, ok...?" Sans rolled his eyes.
"and she won't need it. she's quite smart." Frisk frowned at Sans.
"He seems cranky right now, heh..Thank you for the offer!" Frisk said politely.
"A-actually..Let's be friends on the Monstergram!! You can just ping me when you need help....Oh wait..we already are friends, aren't we..? I signed you up, didn't i? You've been reading my posts the whole time...Well! I hope! You agree! With me! About Mew Mew 2!" And the call ended. Both Frisk and Sans were sent wheezing into a fit of laughter.
"aw man...alph never ceases to amaze me.." He said wiping a tear. Frisk chuckled and started jumping. Sans norrowed his eyes.
"do you always have to jump..? can't i just teleport you..?" Frisk rolled her eyes.
"what's the fun in tha-- WOAH!!" She almost fell into lava but Sans was fast to catch her.
"IT AVOIDS EXACTLY THAT!" He said gesturing franatically at her floating. She rolled her eyes.
"save your magic for later. Bloop!" She said as she was now jumping again and was walking towards the southern puzzle. A conveyor belt with more lasers was in the way but she got past it. Solved it quickly like the others and moved on to the northern puzzles. Same story there. They were now at the doors and were walking through them. Frisk sniffed the air and tilted her head in confusion.
"wassup kiddo?" Sans asked as he opened one of his eyes lazily.
"uhh...i smell cobwebs..?" Sans rised a brow.
"you can smell them..?"
"it's kinda strong..." Sans nodded.
"well as you can see, up ahead there is a place with a lot of spider webs." They walked towards an arch-way leading to a room covered in cob webs. Frisk looked around as they made their way through the place. She was intrigued. She wasn't really scared of spiders...she was perfectly ok with touching them. And in that room there were a LOT of spiders. Sans seemed unphased by the whole situation. The room they stepped in was dark, with a small contrast of purple. Suddenly there was laughter in the huge hall.
"Ahuhuhuhuh...Did you hear what they just said..?" Frisk seemed confused. Sans just kept walking.
"They said a monster wearing a striped shirt will come through!" Frisk looked at her sweater and then looked at Sans.
"me??" Sans face-palmed. The two kept going.
"I heard that they hate spiders." Frisk frowned.
"no i don't--"
"I heard that i love to stomp on them!! To tear their legs off! " The voice said cutting her off.
"oh my god! No--" But then she couldn't keep moving and looked down. Great...she couldn't move because cob webs were keeping her held in place. They were high up to her knees.
"I heard...They're awfully stingy with their money!!" Sans groaned as he was stuck as well.
"come on, muffet. your prices have more nines than she could count. give her a break!" The woman they met at the bake sale was sitting in a web, surrounded by spiders. So that must have been her magic. It wasn't that surprising. She has met once a spider monster...they always took praise into fashion and perfection; not to mention money.
"huhuhu~ but dearie~ where is the fun in that? Plus...the others must be true! I heard it from my spiders!" Frisk looked at her legs and took out her claws. She gently cut the web to free herself then looked at the woman. She then went over and helped Sans.
"Thank you for your hospitality, but, with all due respect, i think you might have the wrong person. I do not hate spiders and i am pretty sure a person as broke as me, can't possibly afford pastries from you....I did however buy from the spiders in the Ruins!" Muffet's expression changed as she lit up like a light bulb.
"Why didn't you say so dearie~?? A buyer of the Ruins is just like a buyer from Hotland! My my~ I am so sorry for the inconveniece. Bubbles! Sit!" Frisk looked behind her in confusion and saw a giant muffin spider looking at her. She yelped. The woman laughed.
"beautiful, isn't it~? OH! But do join me for some tea dearie~!" Frisk lit up at the offer of tea.
"Oh that would be delightful!" Frisk said, her tail wagging. Sans looked at her and she looked at him, pleading him.
"Oh please! I haven't eaten anything since this morning!" Sans sighed and gestured for her to go on. She giggled and hugged him by the neck which took him by surprise. What left him even more dumbfound was when she gave him a kiss on the cheek. He totally froze. If a blue screen on a computer could be a face..? it would be his right now. Frisk was strolling towards a table with pastries and tea as Muffet came down from her web and looked at Sans.
"quite the girl, dearie. Did she get your heads in the clouds~?" Sans flushed and pulled his hood over his head better.
"shut up..." And the two started strolling towards an overly excited Frisk. They all had a small 'tea party' and Frisk was growing quite fond of both Muffet and her spiders. She even met her pet, Bubbles! She patted his frosting and he was more than happy to lick her cheek. He was adorable when he didn't want to eat her! Muffet looked at Frisk and frowned.
"Dearie..is that the best you can do at a tea party..? No no no..come with me! My spiders shall get you tailored and ready!"
"w-what..?" Frisk asked confused, but a web already was twisted around her waist as she was hoisted into the air.
"FRISK!" Sans said looking up but she was already gone. Her cup and cookie fell into the woman's palms. She smirked, her bloody red lipstick glistening and she pulled her black silk gloves better.
"what the hell muffet?!" Sans snarled at her. She raised a finger.
"ah ah ahhh~~ Im just dressing her up. And here she is~" Frisk was ploped back into the chair as she blinked from her now widened yellow eyes. She got up, a bit stumbling and Muffet gave her a mirror. Her auburn hair had a beautiful braid in it with small golden flowers in it. No, not buttercups, even if the spiders did try to put them in. Frisk was quick to refuse. She was wearing a beautiful red dress. It accentuated her curves perfectly and her eyes were glistening. She looked at her reflection one more time then did a small twirl.
"w-woah!! this...THIS IS AMAZING!!" SHE was looking amazing, in Sans eyes. He couldn't even look away. He blinked a few times but it was useless. Oh jeez he was screwed. He was red like a tomato at this point...and he was darker skinned which shouldn't let him be that red. His brother and his father were always lighter skinned than him and his mom. Frisk...she was like his mom. Beautiful, intelligent and just..magical. He always prayed he could find a girl like his mom after she died so many years ago. He never thought he could. Here he was, being wrong. Muffet smiled pleased at his reaction as he sunk further into the seat.
"Frisk, dearie~ you look stunning! oh do please let me see the back!" She turned around. Of fucking corse the back was bare. He put his hood back on again and pulled at it.
"Sans..?" He could hear as someone lifted the hood a little. As his eyes met with her honey eyes he thought he was going to die. He was sure he would have died happy but he just had no words.
"y-you don't like it...?" Frisk asked innocently, a bit of red dusting her cheeks.
"what?! no! what made you think that?! oh sweetheart, of course i like it!...you're always pretty..." He grumbled the last part. Frisk smiled. However...It was time for them to leave. She was hoisted up again, which let Sans see more than he wanted. Muffet smakced him over the head with her glove.
"OW! WHA--" Muffet gave him a stern look then he looked away in shame. Frisk was now back in her old clothes, her hair was still braided. The two exited the spider's den and Frisk looked at Sans. She took one of the bigger flowers spread around and put it in Sans hair.
"there! lilac that on you better~" Frisk said. Sans snorted than chuckled.
"flower you so nice, huh? come on..according to paps i'm pretty sure we're running out of thyme on his shcedule, bud if ya ask me, we're doing perfectly beleaf me." Frisk laughed.
"wow you just broke the record on how many puns you can say in one go!"
"...anything's possible with you around.." Frisk turned back at him.
"hm? what was that..?"
"nothing, no worries." he said as he ruffled her hair and started walking a bit ahead. The only thing is she did hear him...and she heard him loud and clear.
