Chapter 7
Sans winked at her again then pulled on his magic, opening a shortcut straight to his living room. Thankfully Papyrus wasn't home yet, and wouldn't be for a little while. He gently dropped the kid onto the couch, watching as her eyes darted across the room. Quickly, so she wouldn't get the idea to run, he grabbed a blanket and wrapped her in it tightly. He could see her blinking in confusion, and knew how disoriented she would be after her first trip. It took a couple times to get used to it.
The short skeleton wandered over to the kitchen and fixed up a cup of hot chocolate, using his magic to heat it instantly. Sure, it was a bit of a waste of magic, but he didn't care. He plodded back into the living room and handed her the cup. Well, more like pushed it at her until she reached out and grabbed it. Then sat down beside her with a sigh. What a long day this had turned out to be. He flicked on the tv with his magic, settling on some Mettaton show that Papyrus always loved, and let the noise from that fill the room.
She didn't touch the hot chocolate at all, instead wrapping her fingers around the mug and wincing slightly. Sans looked at them from the corner of your eye and almost winced himself. Pretty sure humans like her were supposed to be pink, not bright angry red. There wasn't much he could do though.
"Those fingers look like they could use some attention. When my brother gets home you can ask him to look at them, he's way better at healing than I am." The kid seemed to stiffen a bit, but other than that gave no response. Could the girl even talk? He shrugged it away.
"He'll be really excited to meet you. He's never met a human before." Sans felt like telling this girl about his brother, a brother he adored. "He's a human hunting fanatic. You didn't get to see them, but he's got puzzles all over the place for catching any human who comes here. That's kind of our job." The human looked down at her mug, and he thought he saw fear in her eyes. Shit, not again. "Don't worry though, he's not scary, even though he tries to be. Might ask you to try some of his puzzles though, those are always fun." It didn't seem to help, if anything he just made it worse. He fought down another sigh and turned back to the tv.
The show was almost over when he heard the telltale stomping of hid brother heading towards the house. He could never be quiet, even if he wanted to. "That's him coming now. Man is he going to be suprised." Sans smiled at the idea of pranking his brother with the appearance of a human in the house, and went to the door to greet him. He opened the door just as Papyrus was about to burst in, ruining his entrance and causing him to huff slightly.
"Hey bro, got a surprise for you." Sans winked at his taller brother, then turned towards the living room. Out of the corner of his eye he saw a flicker of movement as a blanket covered child disappeared behind the bathroom door. Oh well, couldn't blame the kid for being scared.
