The Day of New people
“STAY STILL HUMAN”
you froze, all the muscles in your body seeming to stiffen. Hearing the crunching of the snow slowly get closer, you just had to take a shortcut through the park great job real nice. A tall skeleton loomed over having to look down at you,
“HUMAN, I NEED TO WARN YOU THAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO STEP ON MY BROTHER'S SNOW SCULPTURE”.
Taking a minute to process everything the tall skeleton said, you looked down to see a distinct pile of snow with letters written out on it with what you hoped was ketchup. Looking closer it wrote *SANS*, noticing he was still looking, you backed away from the um *snow sculpture* “ sorry” you walked to the side avoiding it completely.
“IT IS OKAY HUMAN, HE SHOULD OF MADE IT MORE SPECTACULAR LIKE THE GREAT PAPYRUSES SNOW SCULPTURES”.
He smiled stretching his arm to a array of other sculptures, all of them different poses of himself, you couldn't help but giggle. How did he keep them up like that you have no idea, but that didn't faze you what was interesting was the other skeleton sleeping under them. IN THE SNOW with only ONE layer of clothes on, maybe it was a monster thing. “Well they certainly are… amazing, sorry to bother you”, as you walked away head down looking at the snow.
He waved at your leave
“YES THEY ARE, GOODBYE MS. HUMAN”
His loud voice dimming as you walk away “what an interesting person”, you chalked it mentally so you could tell your friend's later on. Monsters weren't unusual here in our little town of Ebott, they had come out of the mountains about 4 years ago all of them in different shapes and sizes. You only knew one monster out of the millions that had surfaced, and that was Muffet mostly because she was your neighbor. They had adapted well into the surface, even with all the hate and racism they got. To be honest they never strike you as interesting, they would sooner or later fade into history like things always do and blow over. The thought making you sigh as you walk into the coffee shop, you've been here a thousand times and order the same thing vanilla cappuccino with whipped cream and a donut. Same old same old, except when two peculiar skeletons walk in one making a lot more noise than the other as he walked up to the barista, who also happened to be a monster. You finally had gotten actual look at the taller one *what was his name again* Papyrus, he wore a baggy white shirt and sweatpants along with orange gloves finished of with a red scarf, his brother wore something… a little more casual a blue jacket with a fur trim a white tee shirt, shorts and pink slippers. They stood out a little more than normal monsters due to their sizes, but most people blew them off and ignored them. The sound of a bell dinging meant your order was ready, so hesitantly you walked up there being immediately spotted by Papyrus.
“AH MS. HUMAN IT IS WONDERFUL TO SEE YOU AGAIN…. EVEN THOUGH WE JUST MET 10 MINUTES AGO”
he smiled you wondered how
“um… pap your turn”
said a ruff yet smaller voice next to him,
“MHM YES IT IS” he looked at the board questionably, “… MS HUMAN WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND”
before you knew it all eyes were on you, expecting an answer you started to turn red not being able to say anything in response.
“pap this human seems to have a latte stuff to do let's not bother her”
Once you realized that he had said joke it made the situation little funnier, you giggle a more than you should have, a groan erupting from Papyrus.
“there's a laugh, I knew you could espresso some emotions”
You laugh even harder throwing your head back a little, puns were always your weakness scratch that bad puns were. Once you calmed down you could talk “I..I recommend the cappuccinos they're very good… they're my favorite at least". Papyrus thought about it scratching his chin,
“oh no you don't you remember the last time you had strong coffee”
Sans spat out, you decided the conversation was over so you grabbed your food and left to sit down at your booth. You're an editor for a moderately known business, while the work is hard it pays real nice so you can't complain. You tried to start typing but all you could think about were the two brothers, why were they so...so interesting they caught your attention pretty damn well that's for sure. Maybe it's because you have never seen a skeleton monster, or the fact that they are coming right over to sit with you...oh god they're coming over. You don't know what else to do except just let them slide into the booth with you.
You don't know how it happened but they managed to strike up a conversation, well Papyrus did he talked about everything that ever happened or might happen he was to say quite chatty. While his brother was the silent type, he sat there taking a sip or two of his drink in a lazy daze.
“SO MS HUMAN I DON'T THINK I KNOW YOUR NAME MINE IS THE GREAT PAPYRUS BUT SINCE YOU ARE SUCH A GREAT LISTENER YOU CAN HAVE THE PRIVILEGE TO CALL ME PAPYRUS”
He let out a cute little NYEH after talking “well thank you for the privilege, my name is_____ “ you laugh a little.
“WELL MS. _____ SINCE MY LAZY BROTHER SEEMS TO BE SLEEPING I SHALL INTRODUCE HIM FOR HIM, THAT'S MY OLDER BROTHER SANS”.
You had turned to see he was actually sleeping his breathing pretty rapid, *wait how do skeletons breath, do they have lungs* you decided to chalk it up as a monster thing. He slept with his hands in his pockets leaned back into the booth, a lazy smile still on his face. Papyrus then cleared his throat *how* slowly getting up,
IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME MS _____, I MUST CALL A FRIEND TO SAY THAT WE WILL BE RUNNING LATE, IF YOU COULD DO ME THE FAVOR OF WAKING HIM FOR ME THAT WOULD BE SPLENDID.
Before you could say a word he was already walking away, you had to admit he was pretty fast. You take a look at the sleeping skeleton next to you, still somewhat confused by his… existence? Inching closer *a bad habit of yours* you examined his features, the way his eyes closed even though he was made of what you thought was bone. You still had to wake him up, so like the genius you are you thought the best way to do that was to poke him RIGHT IN THE FACE, after two soft pokes you decided pressing harder into his ruff boney face would work, instead it just hurt your finger. So you tried harder getting a grunt of a reaction, not noticing that he opened his eyes until you stuck your finger through it. A screech of horror and surprise shook both of you, he fell straight onto the ground while you backed into the window in shock, your finger icy cold and...wet?
“gah I'm s...sorry”
Oh man, you wiped off the gooey substance on a napkin it leaving a faded blue stain, his hand covered his eye a shocked look remaining in his face until it went back to his normal smile which now looked a lot more strained.
He stood up
“ s-kay on kid..i'll...uh be right back, tell pap I went to the restroom”
He left leaving the entire coffee shop to look at you in wonder, a blush creeping heavily on your face. Sitting back down looking at your computer to realize , you haven't done any work in the past two hours.
“ugh”
“HUMAN I SEE YOU HAVE MANAGED TO WAKE UP MY LAZY BROTHER…. WHERE IS HE”?
he looked around
“He.. um went to the restroom”
“OH… “
for the first time you actually saw papyrus change his face?, scrunched into a concerned frown. You heard the restroom door open, sans coming out looking calm and collective ‘as usual’ avoiding looking at you completely.
“AH BROTHER SINCE YOU ARE AWAKE, LET US MEET UNDYNE OR SHE WILL ONCE AGAIN BE FURIOUS”
“k bro let's jet”
“OK BROTHER, MS______ ME AND MY BROTHER MUST LEAVE NOW BUT”
he grabbed a napkin off the table also grabbing one of your pens, scribbling something on it handing it back to you.
“ HERE IS MY NUMBER I HOPE YOU DO UM…. GIVE MY HOTLINE A BLING, AS YOU HUMANS TEND TO SAY”.
did he really just say that ,sans was trying to hold in his laughter failing to do so, as he was letting out little snickers. Him slowly walking towards the exit, still laughing.
“WELL GOODBYE MS”
Once they had left all was quite, letting out a breath you didn't know you were holding, you started packing up your belongings when you noticed a blue wallet in the seat you picked it up examining it , flipping it to the other side it read in clear letters…
IF LOST RETURN TO SANS
“oh shit”.
