Smooth Criminal or Smooth Skeleton??
You stared, wide eyed and honestly just a little impressed that this blue clad skeleton is holding you in a dip for so long, you'd think his arms would ha- not the point!
"W-what are you doing?!", you quickly push yourself back into the snow, and scramble to get up and pace away from the stranger. It was odd enough for a random monster to just come out of the woodworks to suddenly dip you, but a skeleton?!
Toriel was based after a animal, you only assumed that the rest of them were too, but now the Underground is housing the undead? .....You pause a moment and check your pulse, you're not dead are you?
The blue stranger chuckles and straightens up, tugging his hat down a bit from under his hood, as he sticks his hands in his hoodie pockets, "now that ain't a nice way to greet a new partner. was jus' tryin to break the ice."
He emphasizes this by slightly stomping the ground that you were just on, and not seeing the rather large ice patch you could have broken your neck on. You blink at the ice patch and then back up to the weird....monster, feeling a bit awkward now that you realized you could have seriously injured yourself. Your shivering returning back harshly, you hug your arms and look away, slightly blushing in embarrassment, "I uh.....s-sorry. And thank you, but...who are you?"
A bit late for introductions, but a random monster you don't know, did just come out of nowhere and dip you like you were doin the friggin tango. (Ironic you say that Reader XD), you continue standing there, watching him carefully as you try to simultaneously keep yourself from freezing to death if you weren't already dead.
The skeleton grins wider, and starts shuffling towards you, the action making you take a step back, before he stops in front of you, looking down at you with a wink, and raises his hand out, "name's sans, sans the skeleton.", he lets his name sit in the air for a bit as you slowly reach to shake his hand.....only to hear it let out the loudest fart in the quiet forest. The shock of the event had your face red and you quickly took back your hand, thinking you just accidentally let one lose, while Sans is practically dying on the snow.
It was then you realized that he had a whoopee cushion in his hand, and you frowned.
"Right...well.", you brush off your dress and immediately turn back towards the bridge, "Thanks for that 'greeting' o' great comedian Sans. But I think I'd rather not be around a ass who doesn't know how to greet people properly.", rather pissed, you stomp back towards the town you came from. It looked like you'll have to try to call Toriel another time.
However, it seems your diss wasn't enough to deter the skeleton, as he was suddenly in front of you, and quickly twirls you to dip you flashily again, "heh, for someone who can't seem to take a joke, you're pretty light on your feet."
You huff in irritation, just about done with this skeleton trying to get fresh with you, so you instead flip the situation around and spin out of his arms, but you didn't walk away, instead you smirk and grab the hand that had your back to spin him and kick his leg out from under him, making him dip instead. The look on his face was worth it, as your smirk got wider, "You're right, I'm pretty light, but I think you're lighter, bone boy."
With that, you let go of him with no warning as he lands softly into the snow on his back, staring up at you in surprise and pretty impressed at how smooth you pulled off the switch. The action left his face blue as she tried to hide under his hood, but you took that opportunity to start walking away again, you needed to find a place to stay before it got dark or the weather gets worse.
It took Sans a minute, but then he realized you were walking away and he scrambles up to catch up to you, "hey, wait kid! where are you going?"
You didn't bother looking at him as you looked around for a sort of Inn, "Maybe somewhere to stay so I don't freeze to death out here. I'll have to try another day to go back to the Ruins.."
Sans tenses and quickly stops in front of you, "whoa whoa, what do you mean the ruins? why are you trying to go back?", it was a surprise to him that anyone wanted to go back the way they came whenever they got here. Usually they're determined to leave the Ruins, not return to it.
It was safe to say that this woman had Sans intrigued, but he didn't exactly want you to return to the Ruins, he wasn't ready to not see you again after this short meeting. He was curious, "listen kid, you don't have to go back to the ruins, why not stay with me and my bro? we got plenty of room for ya.", he tries grinning at her as if that would be enough to convince her.
You on the other hand was skeptical, "Why exactly? We just met, I don't know anything about you, you basically give me a heart attack twice, and you seem pretty reluctant to let me go back. I could be a murderer for all you know, so I don't see any reason why I should go with a stranger."
The quick fire responses made Sans wince a bit, but he chuckled, "sharp tongue huh. you seem like a firecracker too. but if i was concerned about you being a murderer chicka-dee, then you wouldn't try so hard to not accept my offer."
Blinking for a moment, you realized....he was right. It was true that you didn't know him or his brother, but he was offering you a place to stay. You didn't exactly have any other plan at the moment so why were you denying this so much? With a puff to your cheeks and your feet getting numb, your look away to grumble, "....Fine, I'll come but don't try anything or I'll go out screaming like a banshee."
Sans raised a brow at that but only shook his head and smiled, "sure thing sapphfire, anythin' ya want.", your eyebrows furrow at the hidden pun, shaking your head as you look back at the Ruins door. Sighing, you look towards Sans, and you both start walking towards his house, "Quite the pun master are we?"
Sans smirked, you had no idea.
It wasn't long until you came back up against....the same house you left earlier?! You stop immediately and look at Sans in accusingly, "You kidnapped me?!"
It took Sans a moment in confusion to look at you, before it clicked and he snorted, "cool your flame, sapphire. not kidnapped, helped."
Now it was your turn to be confused, what did he mean by help??
He turned back around to look at you, hands in his pockets, "found ya practically a popsicle in the snow earlier. didn't think you wanted to be like that for long so i helped out.", he shrugged like it was no big deal, but you stared at him in surprise, apparently you had more to thank him for than to accuse. Well now you felt guilty, you look down ashamed and embarrassed before you started fidgeting, quietly mumbling out an apology before you heard him snicker.
"so m'lady does have manners.", he nods his head towards the house door, "c'mon kid, let's get you some food. probably haven't eaten in awhile."
With that, you both enter the house....only to walk smack dab into something built like a brick. You back up immediately to hold your nose as you start tearing up from the pain. You look up....and up, to see a....unnaturally tall skeleton. How many of these guys are there?!
"AH! EXCUSE ME TINY MONSTER! I DID NOT SEE YOU THERE!", the tall skeleton, turns to look at Sans in disapproval, hearing the giggling at you running into him, "SANS! DON'T LAUGH AT THE TINY MONSTER! IT IS NOT THEIR FAULT THAT THEY ARE AS SHORT AS A WIMSUM AND CANNOT SEE MY BLINDING VISAGE!"
The burst of nonsense coming from the taller skeleton had Sans double over, while you stared on in shock at what you just seen and heard. After a minute though, you huff and walk over to Sans, leaning over to playfully smack him on the bottom to get him to shut up. You would have flicked his head or something, but hitting hard bone isn't exactly the best feeling in the world.
The action immediately made Sans tense up and flush, coughing in shock at the fact you just did that with no remorse. His face gets bluer as he stared up at you with you smirking down at him.
Before you turned and completely and purposely ignored him to greet the taller skeleton. "Um...hello, you must be Sans' brother. I'm Y/N. It's nice to meet you....er...", "PAPYRUS TINY MONSTER!", "....Papyrus then.", you didn't bother trying to correct him, you weren't sure how easy people accepted humans here. As you talked to Papyrus, Sans had gathered enough dignity to go sit on the couch and not the floor anymore. But he was still watching the interaction with a grin.
However, Papyrus placed his hands on his hips and huffed at Sans.....like..literally huffed. He legit just said *HUFF*.....skeletons are weird.
"SANS! DO NOT JUST BE A LAZYBONES ON THE COUCH! YOU NEED TO BE A GOOD HOST TO THE TINY MONSTER THAT YOU HAVE APPARENTLY DECIDED TO ACCEPT INTO OUR HOME! OF COURSE I DO NOT MIND ANOTHER ROOMMATE, FOR I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, AM THE MOST EXCEPTIONAL OF HOSTS, AND I- SANS! DON'T DRINK KETCHUP ON THE COUCH!"
The last thing Papyrus said had you whipping your head towards the couch to look at Sans. It seems when Papyrus was distracted, he had gotten up to get a bottle of ketchup and......"Are.....are you drinking ketchip?"
Sans side glanced you, only to grin and wink as he started to chug the sludge like substance. Papyrus, used to his antics rolls his non-existent eyelights, and heads for the door, "NYEEH! I HAVE A SLEEPOVER WITH UNDYNE TODAY! BUT DO ENJOY LIVING HERE TINY MONSTER! I SHALL BE BACK IN 2 DAYS! AND SANS! BE A GOOD HOST!"
"okay bro."
"AND MAKE SURE THE TINY MONSTER EATS AND HAS A PLACE TO SLEEP! THEY MAY STAY IN MY AMAZING BEDROOM IF THEY WISH UNTIL I RETURN!"
"'kay bro."
"AND PICK UP YOUR SOCK!!"
".....kay."
"SANS."
"yeah bro?"
"SANS, PICK UP YOUR SOCK."
"kay."
"...."
"...."
"SANS, YOU AREN'T MOVING."
"okay bro."
Papyrus waited for Sans to pick up his sock, but when he still refused to move, Papyrus stomped over to tableflip Sans off the couch, before quickly leaving the house, "NYEEH!", the loud door slam was the last indication of Papyrus before hearing quickly fading footsteps.
You looked over to Sans, now flipped on his stomach on the floor. Moving closer, you hear quiet snoring, and realized he fell asleep?!
........what the hell just happened?
