The Day of New Fears
WELL WHY NOT
Your day had started off shitty, starting with spilling hot coffee in your already smells like shit of a car, escalating to getting yelled at by half of your editing team for turning in the chapters late. Now you had lost your key, searching frantically for it in your purse you stumbled on a napkin that you hoped wasn't full of snot. Opening it you realized it was that skeletons number *shit what was his name*, you forgot you needed to give the wallet back after two days had passed now you felt bad. Once you found your keys *which were in your back pocket you idiot*, you decided to give that number a call
*ring...ring...ring..*
“HELLO THIS IS THE GREAT PAPYRUS SOON TO BE A ROYAL GUARDSMAN SPEAKING”
you pulled the phone away, forgetting how loud he was, and what the hell was a royal guard?
“um.. papyrus it’s_____ I wanted to tell you that i had um found Sans wallet, well more like he left it at the coffee shop and I kept it, well I didn't keep it more like held on to it until”
“OH YOU FOUND MY BROTHER'S WALLET, OH HE'LL BE SO HAPPY YOU DON'T KNOW HOW WORRIED HE WAS WHEN HE LOST IT, ONE SECOND”
all you heard was constant shuffling and the sound of a door opening.
“BROTHER LISTEN THAT HUMAN FEMALE AT THE COFFEE SHOP HAS FOUND YOUR WALLET WHAT A SPLENDID COINCIDENCE, HERE”
........silence
“uhh yo is it true what paps said did you really find it”
A tinge of excited happiness in his voice could be heard, making you smile at your good deed.
“yep though I've had it for too long, should have returned it earlier sorry”
“No don't apologize, without you my bank account would have been bone dry”
You could hear papyrus groan in the background, even though you found it to be funny. Catching you off guard, you heard a hearty laugh, one that sent shivers through your entire body.
“so kid if i give you our address, could you bring it I kinda need it pronto…”
“OH YES MS _____ COULD YOU PLEASE COME OVER I WOULD LOVE TO SHOW YOU ALL MY MAGNIFICENT THINGS”
after a moment of silence passed of you still thinking,
“Hey if you're a bit busy I could always come get it, but it would mean a lot to paps of you'd come over”
Great now you felt guilty, you agreed and said you would be there in less than thirty minutes. But of course the world hates you, traffic was more or less a bitch. People had to be in there phone's or speeding a red light. Once you reached what you hoped was their house it was already sundown, you knocked once about to again when a huge ass skeleton practically swung you off the ground into an atomic bear hug.
“OH MS HUMAN I AM SOO GLAD YOU CAME PLEASE COME INSIDE”
While he did offer he dragged you in anyways, which you didn't mind. When you got inside you realised just how fancy and well decorated this place was. There were numerous paintings on the wall, one of a famous robot who you could not remember at the moment. Looking even closer you noticed how everything seemed to have a glow, and smells of lemon.
“ papyrus… wow...this place is…”
“ STUNNED SILENCE. I TEND TO HAVE THAT EFFECT ON PEOPLE AN AMAZING PERSON AS I NEEDS AN AMAZING HOUSE NYEH”
You tried not to laugh at his boasting, even thought it was extremely cute, how they even afforded it you had no clue.
“so where is sans, I need to give him his wallet”
You fished the wallet out of your cluttered purse giving it to papyrus, but he wouldn't accept it.
“HUMAN YOU MAY GO GIVE IT TO HIM YOURSELF, HE IS UPSTAIRS WORKING FOR ONCE HE WILL BE VERY HAPPY TO HAVE IT”
a whistle from what sounded like a kettle went off the noise startling you, when had you become nervous even papyrus perked up a little bit.
“OH MY SPECTACULAR SPINACH SPAGHETTI IS READY”
And with that he left, and you headed up the stairs. There you saw a door somewhat ajar a light peeking through it, you knocked on the door hearing what sounded like a ‘come in’. Walking in you felt a sharp pain in your foot as you walked into a pile of papers, knocking them all over the floor your brain said apologize your mouth said
“AH FUCK ME”
A small, but deep chuckle snapped you out of your string of muttering curses.
“well at least let me take you on a date first jeeze”
Said an amused voice that brung you back to your senses, you looked up from your foot to see sans sitting there, his usual smile now higher and more arrogant. You took a look at your injured foot to see a tack had found it's way into your flip-flip *what a great day to wear these old things*.
“sorry sans”
Not knowing whether you were apologizing for the papers or for cursing, a deep blush rose to your face anyways. Struggling to pull the tack out due to it hurting like a son-of-a- bitch you let out an exasperated sigh.
“Com’here, sit I'll pull it out for you”
You took the seat he was sitting in, lifting your leg across your lap. He knelt down to get a better look touching it softly, making you hiss in pain. Making an interesting sound before pulling away to get something in his desk.
“I uh wanted to say thanks for coming not many… ‘humans’ would willingly enter a monsters house” it was pretty subtle but you could here the strain in the word human.
“well I'm not your average human” you retorted sourly the mood of the room shifting slightly.
“so you're not afraid of the big bad monster?” He raised an eyebrow
*not sure but I think I just saw a bone raise and lower*?
“No should I be”?
You tried to say playfully, as he turned back to you a smirk now plastered on his face, his once solid pupils now faded and nearly gone, a deep growl as he spoke in deadly, serious tone.
“ h e h m a y b e “
The sound of it rumbling in your head over and over, an obvious heat rolling over your body like a wave turning you red and. He came closer in one swift movement, his hand reaching lower
until….
“OUCH FUCK MHHMFJBCUDNFCH”
“got it”
Pulling his hand in front of your face to reveal the red tack he pulled out, his normal smile pasted back up as you started to breath heavy. Your blush obvious, and your mind hazy.
“oh um t-thanks”
“your welcome but I shouldn't have left them out, I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed ya see”
You let out a nervous chuckle trying to make it sound sincere, not doing a very good job of it. A look of interest and a slight smirk growing on his face, as he came closer to you chuckling darkly. Bending down to your eye level, practically nose to nose.
“ you should be careful though, some monsters are pretty …scary”
He was very close, making you blush. Was he supposed to be a “scary” monster because he lacked that impression. Not wanting to drag out this confrontation any longer, you decided that wrapping whatever this is up would be the best solution.
“well since I've returned your wallet I'll be on my way it was umm nice meeting you sans”
Trying not to make this awkward you made an attempt to slip out of this…. situation, but once again bad luck and bad timing is the only thing you can get. As you back out of his pretty messy office, you’re blocked off by one enthusiastic skeleton.
“ MS ______ I'VE FINISHED THE SPAGHETTI IT WOULD BE AN HONOR IF YOU WOULD JOIN US”
Papyrus pokes his head through the doorway gladly interrupting, with a childish smile you couldn't ignore. When you turned to look at sans hoping to get some help, all you saw was a smirk that somewhat weirded you out. But like the sucker you are, you just had to say yes.
“sure why not”?
