Breakups are no fun
“You sure you don’t need anything?” Sans was worried. He was worried about the bags under your eyes, he was worried about your earlier breakdown, but most of all he was worried about you leaving. He didn’t like the way you shook your head and muttered an ‘I’m fine’ nor his brother’s expression. The skeleton gave you his number before you departed, in case something happened.
“I’m sorry Papyrus. I promise we will go out tomorrow to get everything, okay?” That’s what you said, but you honestly were not sure how the day would play out. You had gotten a hotel room for the night. It was not the most beautiful, or clean, place you had ever seen, but it would be enough for now. Plopping on the bed, you pulled out your phone for the first time since you left the house. Missed calls and a few texts all from the same person Michel. No. No more names. You refused to ever think that name again. That name was the one you wrote on your notebooks back in high school, the one that passed ever-so-sweetly through your lips when you started dating. That name did not belong to that thing he had become.
Mi baby 9:47 pm:
Where are you?
10:00 pm
Tell me where you are
10:30
Baby I’m sorry. Please come home
10:38
Call me please
You couldn’t look at the rest. If you did you would feel worse about not answering and go back. You couldn’t go back. Sure he wasn’t full on beating you, but still it was too much. What if it got worse? No, you were not going to let it get that way. When your phone started ringing you couldn’t help but answer. “Hello,” the plan was to keep this short and easy.
“Hello? _____?” his voice was already cracking your resolve. “Baby where are you?”
“I’m staying at a friend’s house for a while,” you weren’t trying to hurt him.
“Why?” He already knew.
“I just- I can’t deal with all of this. It’s too much,” stay strong, “You’re too much.” You let out a silent breath.
There was a long silence before he spoke again, “Are you gonna come home?”
“I don’t know right now okay?”
“Can you please come home I- “
"I gotta go,” you did not want him to finish saying that. You didn’t want to hear it so you quickly said goodbye and hung up. A distraction was just what you needed right now.
12:02 am:
Hey, uh, this is _____. Sorry about earlier.
Sans 12:05 am:
It’s cool.
12:06 am:
Is papyrus upset?
Sans 12: 08 am:
Nah he’s good. What about you?
12:09 am:
I’ll live
Sans 12:16 am:
How about I cheer you up with some noods? ; )
Your face flushed instantly. How were you even supposed to respond to that? Before you had a chance to try a picture popped up on your screen. It was a selfie with his brother eating pasta behind him.
12:20 am:
OMG you’re so dumb XD
Sans 12:23 am:
Yeah you could say I’m a real bonehead
12:24 am:
STOP.
Sans 12:26 am:
Would you prefer numbskull?
Sans 12:27 am:
Am I getting under your skin?
12:28 am:
I can’t deal with you. XD I’m going to bed
Sans 12:30 am:
You did look bone tired. Goodnight hun.
You smiled at the screen illuminating your face. He did a really good job of cheering you up, and you swore to yourself that one day you would repay him for that.
12:32 am:
Goodnight Sans.
