Break Bones
A week later
Sans sat at his new station, he felt weak, exhausted, cold, and hungry "Boss surely did one hell of a number on me" he winced as he shivered at the thought of being beaten nearly to death by his own brother. Being a monster with only 1 hp, meant that you were looked down upon and sometimes used as an advantage. Every bone in his body ached, throbbed and bled bone marrow, however he didn't have the energy to heal himself beside healing his arms and legs. Sighing he felt drowsy and was shaking badly from both the cold and hunger.
At times like these he felt like crying, but he knew someone would soon swoop in and attack and being dusted wasn't on his agenda. He had to think about something... anything to keep his mind off of the pain, hunger, and the tiredness of his mind and body. Why not think about that woman.... Now that he thinks about it, he hadn't seen that woman anywhere, according to Grillby, she only comes out when a human has been killed or if she needs a drink.
No one knows where she lives, where she goes, or even seen her eat anything. Many try following her, only to returned bruised, beated, and were like dolls. Eyes empty and glassy, obedient little monsters who usually are soulless husks and seem to ignore pain when dusted. Many feel pity and sorrow when they see these monsters. "(Y/N )" as Grillby put it one day, "she's a force to be reckoned with Sans, just be careful, I can tell you'll be seeing her soon" but how soon exactly? Sans hasn't seen her since that day. Maybe its for the best, he didn't really want to see that woman, especially when he should be worrying about how he's gonna survive's tonight's attack. Should I go to Grillby's? No Papyrus will probably hunt me down in there and I already owe Grillby money. "Now this is a surprise" Sans yelped as he turned to see the woman from the week before. Leaning forward with a smile plastered on her lips. "Its so good to see you Baby Bones" she gave him a wink before pushing herself inside the small stand and sat on the counter. "Um-Um, hey (Y/N) here for a hot dog or something? Or you looking for Doggo, he's up ahead" (Y/N) giggled as she leaned against the wooden pole. "Naw baby, I'm here to see you" he looked at her a bit confused as to why she would want to see him.
"Now what's this?" She reaching over and stroking the tender crack on his skull, a new one to add to his collection of scars. He flinch while pulling away causing her to look almost sorrowful at him. But it was soon replace with anger, "who did this to you Baby?" he shivered not by the cold, but by how this woman energy was giving off. "It-It's nothing! I'm use to it" he went looking away, seeing a tall figure approaching them. Shit!
"SANS YOU BETTER NOT BE-" the figure stopped as they gazed at (Y/N) she was hunched over, a frown married her lips, and her upper part of her fact was shadowed. No one could tell if she was shaking by anger or by the cold. "Eh Boss, I-I can explai-" "so your Papyrus, Head of the Royal Guard?" She asked as she jumped off the counter and stared default at him. She's pissed! Thought Sans as he gazed over to his brother.
"Hmfp, you are?"
"(Y/N) pleasure to meet you" she said politely, almost too polite. "Alright, what do you want and why are you with my brother?" He hissed as he looked over to Sans who just look down almost defeated. "I met him a week ago, kinda came out to see how he's been doing," she chuckled as she leaned onto the stand. She hummed a random tune before smirking at him, "also, I was going to Grillby's to see what I've been missing for the past few days, I always keep my town in check."
"Your town?" Laughed Papyrus, "as far as I know King Asgore owns this town not you-" "Please, Asgore wished he could, but most people know me as well known how to address me. Fear at Asgore they can. Fear me they can expect I am given respect and LOVE. What does Asgore gain? Nothing!"
"Speaking illy of your king!?"
"He's no king of mine!" She growled baring her canines at Papyrus who had flinch. Did-Did Boss just flinch!?
"Asgore is a foolish leader and a nonbrain fool! How can one think and still be king!?" Sans can tell Papyrus was getting pissed off, his left eye was engulfed by flames and bones materalizes behind, but (Y/N) gaze didn't wither away nor did she look to be calming down anytime soon, "um-um, Mama stop!" (Y/N) jolted up as she faced Sans, "Don't you have to meet up with Doggo to discuss duties of the constant dusting around here? We aren't exactly making a profit when we always dust people." At first she seemed confused before her eyes lit up, sighing in relief of knowing she got the message. "Your right Baby, sorry for being sidetracked, I'll go on ahead and talk to Doggo" she said before glaring once more at Papyrus, "need anything else before I go Baby Bones?" She ask causing him to flush.
"N-No mama"
"Okay, see you around suga" she went walking past Papyrus before bumping his shoulder. Papyrus grunt watching her disappear behind him before approaching Sans. "THE FUCK WAS THAT ABOUT!? REALLY SANS, THIS IS REALLY DISAPPOINTING! My brother submissive towards a woman. Especially a human! How is that bitch even alive!?" He yelled.
Sans stared at his hands shamefully as Papyrus spouted out insults at him. Something he's grown use to since Papyrus was 16, he was taller and more powerful when it came to magic. Sans was too, but he can't hold it out for long like he could. "When we get home, I'm having clean the attic upstairs, slack off and you get no dinner" he went leaving Sans alone.
He tenderly nod absently as his brother disappeared from site.
"Anything new to report Grill'z?" She asked as she sat herself down and stared at the flaming monster. "Six monsters dusted in week, Asgore rose the taxes, and we've been complaining about the ruckus going on at Papyrus's place. According to reports Sans has been beaten several times in there including out of public" she hissed between her teeth.
"I figured, those scars weren't there the last time I saw him" she went biting the end of her glass causing it to shatter and split her top lip. "Heh obesses now are we?" Chuckled Grillby.
"Shut the fuck up before I splash water on you, you flaming bastard" she growled. Grillby belched out a laugh while picking up the pieces of glass, "just keep an eye out for him, I don't want anything happening to my Baby Bones." Grillby's nod at her as he brought out another cup, of whiskey. "I perfer when the little guy comes in anyway, really talkive too, I guess its understandable when you have a brother whose a total prick."
(Y/N) nods as she downed another glass, the small cut has healed and taken care of, "he owes me some money, but since his brother hates this place he won't give him anything to pay off his tab, already owes me 900 g"
Looking up she then pulls out a bag, "I reckon that he'll be eating here alot so put the bill on me. Here's a starter point including this month pay." Grillby's smirked as he took the bag, "going full out of this doll, why's that?"
(Y/N) stared at him blankly obviously not amused, taking the bottle she poured herself another glass before downing it in one gulp. "He called me "mama" today and I didn't force him to say it" Grillby turned to look at her. He knew how much that name means to her as well how it satisfies her little "need". Sans has no clue what he just signed himself in, but then again how can he know? "A keeper?"
"Heh, why the fuck am I telling you this if it wasn't?" Shrugging he pulled out another glass and poured himself some as well as hers, "about fuck'in time though, took you how many years?"
"Eight"
"Damn, must be tough, holding back for so long, I'm surprise you haven't pounced on anyone yet" he chug down his drink while (Y/N) bitterly laugh.
"Alpha, your toy is laying in the snow!" (Y/N) flung herself off the chair as she gazed towards the window. Sure enough there laid Sans, it seems his skull has been cracked open and was healing itself. "The fuck-!?" She burst through the doors and quickly lifted the male monster, "who did this!?" She growled.
She felt the male go stiff in her arms as she glared at the people back in the bar. "B-Boss?" She looked down seeing full that the crack covered his good eye, so he couldn't exactly see, "Baby Bones what happen?" She asked, but Sans didn't respond, "Grillby, I'm using your back room!" She yelled as she began carrying Sans inside.
Ignoring everyone as she slammed herself through the door, Grillby trailing behind her, "I'll bring something for him to eat, his Hp is 0.000000000001" why is it so low? How is he even alive? Never mind, she thought as she focused her energy onto her hand, (F/C) magic devoured her hand as she began healing the small skeleton. Being around monsters sure has its advantage.
"Baby Bones?" She called out to him as she began fixing and healing the poor thing. "Ngh! S-Stop it hurts!" The wounds were affliciting pain and the tender joints seem to grind against themeselves as she healed the rest of his body. Some barely fresh from that morning. She began cooing and soothed out his pain the best she can, soon every inch of him was healed, Grillby came back with some fries and a cup of mustard. "He drinks this shit, don't know how or why" he said as he brought the cup to his mouth. Drinking it quickly before feeding him some fries, "I'll pay you extra to keep him here to heal" "why not take him home with you" she looked over to the flame monster.
"We both know why" sighing Grillby left leaving her alone with the little skeleton who was now sleeping. Tracing the cracks of his scars she takes in all of him, seeing how different he was then a human skeleton. Big boned, seems to have more ribs than a human, how he seem to have bags under his eyes. Does he sleep? Probably not since not even a week Grillby told her about how Papyrus threw his mattress out the window and torch it. So sleep wasn't optional for him. She sat down at his bed side before laying arms crossed on his stomach. Feeling the cool cotton between her fingertips, oddly he felt soft yet solid beneath her touch. She laid her head onto him and listen to the sound of humming coming from between his ribcage.
