WTAF Sans?!
Fully prepared to feel pain, Salem shut her eyes and hugged Mercy to her chest. But the pain never came. Instead, she had this odd fuzzy feeling surround her. Peaking open one eye, Salem was shocked to find herself surrounded by a red light and floating off the ground. Her confusion only lasted a moment as Papyrus was soon screaming at his brother for interfering. He was about to hit Sans when the shorter skeleton dodged to the side and managed to run under Salem. The magic vanished and Salem fell to the ground, only to be caught in Sans arms.
"Wha- Why? Sans! Why the hell did you help me? Now your bro will hate you. If I died, I would have come back you idiot! Put me down!"
"shut up brat..."
Sans, now holding Salem bridal style, dodged again as a series of bones shot towards them. Salem was heavily contemplating hitting Sans upside the head when Papyrus' screaming once again caught her attention.
"YOU FILTHY TRAITOR! WHY ARE YOU ASSISTING THE HUMAN SANS? GET BACK OVER HERE NOW. YOU'LL BE PUNISHED FOR THIS AFTER I'VE DEALT WITH THE HUMAN."
"h-heh. no can do boss... i already decided somethin', and ya won't be havin' my human."
"Your human?!"
"YOUR HUMAN? I SEE, YOU HAVE CLAIMED THIS HUMAN AS YOUR OWN. YOU DISGUST ME SANS. NOT ONLY DO YOU PICK A HUMAN, BUT A CHILD AT THAT."
"Oh my god... Is he saying what I think he's saying?! Oh god... This is like the most cliché thing ever... Just let me die Sans!"
"would ya shut up Salem? i'm trying to save yur ass here."
Startled from him using her real name, Salem shut her mouth and stared at the skeleton holding her. Surprisingly, Papyrus stopped his attacks and straightened up. With a final scowl directed towards his brother, Papyrus turned his back and started to march off.
"DON'T BOTHER COMING BACK TO MY HOUSE. IF I SEE YOU AGAIN, I WILL KILL YOU AND THAT HUMAN... MATE OR NOT..."
And with that, Papyrus was gone. Sans let out a breath and relaxed a bit until a little hand hit him upside the head. Looking over to the girl in his arms, Sans started to sweat a bit and quickly put her down.
"SANS... What. The. FUCK. Was that all about? MATE?! Holy shit... You really are a pedophile... Oh god... OH GOD!"
"Salem... calm down... it was just ta keep Papyrus from killing ya... it doesn't mean anything. just... just shut up!"
Salem quickly closed her mouth but continued to glare at the skeleton in front of her. However, her silence didn't last long. Sans sighed when she started talking again, but Salem paid that no mind.
"What happened to NOT helping me? You could have stayed on your brother's good side if you just let him kill me. I would have come back anyway. Are you stupid? We had a deal ya ding bat..."
"ding bat? really?"
"THAT is NOT what we are going to focus on. You just claimed me as your mate! That's kinda significant ya know! And you just turned your brother against you. He's your family!"
"i couldn't care less bout that ass-"
"Don't. Lie... He's your brother. Of course you love him..."
"love's just level of-"
"Not that 'love'. God... You just gave up your family to help me. ME! I'm completely worthless! I'm better off dead! What were you even thinking?"
"i dun know... would ya stop nagging me... i just saved ya, didn't i?"
"But why?! You didn't have to! You shouldn't have! UGH! I just ruined your life!"
"...that's what yur worried bout? seriously?"
"DUH! I don't have a life to speak of! I shouldn't even be here. Hell, I should be dead! I refuse to ruin whatever life you have! I'm gonna LOAD a SAVE."
Out of nowhere, Sans grabbed Salem's arm rather roughly, but not painfully. Looking over at the skeleton with obvious fear, he was touching her after all, Salem froze. His eyes were dark and he was uncomfortably close.
"are ya really gonna make what i just did pointless?"
"YES!"
"Salem... don't..."
"D-Don't touch me! And why do you care all of a sudden?"
Pulling her hand free, Salem looked away from Sans with a scowl. Hugging herself, Salem did her best to not back away from the skeleton beside her.
"heh, i shoulda just let ya die. ungrateful brat."
"You should have... It would have been better... Maybe I would have finally stayed dead this time..."
"don't say that like ya want it to happen, idiot..."
"Well maybe I do? It's none of your business! What's it even matter to you?! Fuck... Now I'm stuck with you. I wonder what Flowey is gonna say to this."
"ya ain't telling that little weed shit. like i said, it was just to save ya. i only helped ya because ya helped me."
"But now you're stuck with me. And I owe you my life. It not worth much either... It probably isn't even a whole soul... It might not even break the barrier..."
Sans scowled and hit Salem. It wasn't hard, but enough to keep her quiet a moment. In slight shick, Salem bit her tongue and crossed her arms. Sans sighed and looked at the girl he was now stuck with.
"shit... ya really are just a kid... this is embarrassing..."
"Heh, love ya too hubby~"
"would ya shut up brat... i'm regretting this already..."
"I can still RELOAD if-"
"shut up..."
