Chapter Text
Sans stayed silent as he sat in the chair as he heard the familiar sound of his father's footsteps heading towards him. He kept his eyes on the floor, only looking up when he heard Gaster open the office door and step in. He frowned and shrank into himself. He heard the muffled conversation but couldn't make anything out. The skeleton buried his face in his hands. He heard his father exit thanking Asgore before he put a hand on Sans' shoulder. Sans looked up and shrank back seeing the anger and disappointment in his father's eyes.
"....Dad-"
"I don't want to hear it." Gaster said. Sans flinched and looked down. "Come on. I don't have all day, I need to get back to work." he added turning and heading down the hall. Sans stood and followed after him staring at the ground. The walk to the car was silent. Sans got into the passenger seat and buckled up as his father got in the driver’s seat and started the car after buckling up himself. As they pulled away from the school Sans sighed. The ride to the house was silent as Sans began to feel scared. He shifted anxiously, glancing towards his father. Surely Asgore explained everything? His father couldn't be that mad right? He looked away and clenched his teeth as they pulled up in the driveway. Sans unbuckled his seatbelt and started to get out of the car.
"Sans."
Sans froze, "...y-yes?"
In the most monotone of voices, Gaster replies "I am... disappointed."
Sans lowered his head, "..I know..." he said. "...b-but it wasn't entirely my fault... she provoked me...." he said.
"I don't care. I raised you better than that Sans." Gaster said, sternly.
"She threatened you! I was just supposed to sit there and do nothing?!" Sans asked frowning. Sans slumped in his seat. "...I'm tired of her bitching and complaining. Its been non stop ever since Pap and I became friends and it seemed to get even worse now that we're an actual couple. I'm sick of it, you can't blame me for snapping." he added crossing his arms.
"Sans, she's a teenager, what is she going to do? She can't hurt me, and even if she tried or sent someone after me, I can take care of myself." Gaster said. He sighed and rubbed his face, "...No. I suppose I can't blame you for snapping. But that doesn't justify it.... There were other ways you could have handled the situation. Non-violent ways." he added. Sans sighed, looking down.
"....I know... i'm sorry..." he said.
"We'll discuss this more later tonight." Gaster said. "For now I have to get back to work."
Sans nodded and got out. He shut the door and stepped away from the car before watching his dad leave. He sighed and headed for the front door unlocking it with his key and stepping inside. He shuffled to the couch and dropped his bag before faceplanting on to the couch and groaning. He felt something hop up onto his back and turned his head and smiled he reached back scooping up the kitten and shifted onto his back. He set her down on his chest and scratched her ears.
"Hey, Mega." he said.
RING RING
Sans blinked and shifted pulling out his phone looking to see who was calling, ‘I really need to give everyone their own ringtones for when they call me…’ he thought.
"SANS!!!" yelled Papyrus
Sans sat up holding the kitten to his chest flinching at the volume of his boyfriend’s voice. "Hey, Pap..." he said. "...i'm fine don't worry."
"Where are you?" Papyrus asked.
"...home... had to get picked up early... I got suspended..." Sans explained as he set Megalovania on his lap.
"WHAT?!"
"...yeah... there was an issue in last period with Linda.... good news is she got suspended too for 2 weeks... I only got suspended for 3 days." he said.
"I'LL KILL THAT BITCH!!!!"
"No... don't. please. I don't need you getting arrested." Sans said.
"Don't worry, sans, I won’t get caught."
Sans rolled his eyes, "I'm sure you won't but people would notice if your LV suddenly raised. And your psycho stalker went missing." he pointed out.
Sans stood and sighed as he walked to the kitchen. "Anyway, Linda is the least of my concerns right now.... i'm more worried about what Dad's going to do..." he said as he set his kitten on the counter and got her bowls. He set them on the counter and got out the milk. He poured some into one bowl and put it away before getting out a can of cat food and putting it in the other bowl.
Sans finished filling the bowl and pet the kitten, "i really hope he doesn't pull me from competition or the charity concert." he sighed
“I'm sure he won't." Papyrus said.
"i hope not..." Sans said leaning against the counter.
"I'll come see you after school, okay?"
Sans smiled, "i'd like that."
"See you soon, my dear cherry." CLICK
Sans blushed at the last part and pocketed his phone.
Sans rubbed his face and turned to the fridge getting out a juice. He opened it and took a drink.
'three hours until pap gets here. What can I do to pass the time?’
Sans hummed in thought tapping his phalanges against the table thought. He stood up and headed to the living room deciding to watch TV while he waited. He settled on the couch and turned on Netflix and started up Doctor Who, and soon fell asleep. After he fell asleep, Megalovania hopped up and curled up against his side. Sans slept for a good two hours before he woke from his nap. He groaned and stretched with a yawn. Sans rubbed the back of his neck with a sigh and looked up at the TV and shuddered seeing the episode he'd managed to wake up to. ‘Damn weeping angels.’ he thought as he grabbed the remote and turned off the episode switching back to regular tv. He looked down and smiled seeing his kitten napping next to him. He gently scratched her ear.
'Welp, i've got an hour left. I think i'll make some thing for me and pap to eat when he gets here.' He stood up and hummed as he headed to the kitchen decided to make some spaghetti. He started on the sauce as after he put a pot of water on the stove and waited for it to start boiling. About thirty-five minutes passed and the spaghetti was just about finished. Sans set the lid on the sauce after stirring it and checked the noodles before checking the time
'Still a little bit to go, before pap gets here."
He got out two plates and two forks and set them on the counter. The skeleton turned back to the food. A few more minutes passed and Sans turned off the stove and drained the water from the noodles. He poured the noodles into a serving bowl before adding the sauce. He mixed it into the noodles and looked up as there was a knock on the door. He smiled. ‘just in time he thought.’
He whipped off his hands and headed to the door and opened it, "Hey." he greeted smiling up at the other skeleton as he stepped aside to let the other in. He shut the door once Papyrus stepped inside. "I just finished up cooking some spaghetti." he said.
"Ooh, my favorite." Papyrus said smiling. Sans grinned.
"Exactly why I made it." he said as he led the other to the kitchen, he placed a serving on both plates before placing the serving bowl in the microwave to keep the rest warm for when his father got home. He handed Papyrus his plate and headed to the table and sat down.
"So, what did linda say that got you so riled up?'
Sans pulled out the note he'd gotten back from the principal and held it out, "...she was her normal bitchy jealous self... only this time she dragged my dad into it." he answered as Papyrus took the note and read it while he ate.
Suddenly, papyrus stopped eating and the air grew heavy as it was filled with magic starting to form.
Sans glanced up at him. "Pap?"
"T H A T B I T C H. I ' L L T E A R H E R L I M B F R O M L I M B."
Sans shuddered, "...Papyrus no." he said, standing and moving to his boyfriend's side. He wrapped his arms around the other hoping to calm him down. "come on.. i'm already suspended. I don't want you getting expelled and arrested..."
"LET GO OF ME SANS. T H A T B I T C H D E S E R V E S T O S U F F E R."
Sans tightened his arms around the other. "Papy, please." he begged trembling slightly as the pressure got worse causing his anxiety to surface. "its not w-worth it..."
Papyrus' anger caused his magic to lash out at the only person in the room, sans.
Sans yelped, just barely managing to dodge out of the way, He flinched as the attack grazed his arm chipping the bone. he flinched, bitching back a noise and shuddered feeling his HP drop a decimal. "P-papyrus! Please, you have to calm down!" he cried.
With Papyrus' anger spiraling out of control his voice started to sound more demonic and cruel. " Maybe i'll feed her her own arm or... or I could F E E D H E R H E R P A R E N T S."
Sans gulped, his bones starting to rattle from how much he was trembling, though whether it was from fear or something else he couldn't tell. "P-pap... come on... y-you're really starting to f-freak me out..." he whimpered, his voice quiet. He shifted and slowly inched closer back to Papyrus' side.
He reached out, placing a hand on Papyrus shoulder. The other's magic lashed out, Sans couldn't dodged in time and gasped as he his HP dropped down to 0.5. He shuddered at the stinging cuts bits of marrow and blood leaked from the cuts. Sans clenched his teeth trying to muffle the sound he made he covered his teeth face flushing bright red. ‘stars of all the things…’ he thought. Sometimes he really hated being a masochist.
There was a snap as the magic dissipated and his eyes widened and he turned so his back was to Papyrus feeling his face heat up more. ‘Oh, fuck please tell me he didn't hear that!!’ he prayed. this was really not his day.
"Sans?"
Sans didn't turn to face him, keeping his face buried in his hands. He was still trembling, but it was worse, a mixture of both embarrassment and the fact his hp was cut in half.
"Sans, look at me."
Sans shook his head frantically, he was too embarrassed to look the other in the eye. He could feel papyrus watching him and whined into his hands in protest before finally giving up and turning to face the other and lifting his skull from his hands to look up at the other. he knew his face was probably as red as a cherry by now. Papyrus grabbed Sans' face and stared straight into his eyes.
Sans blinked and shifted reaching up to lightly take hold of the others wrists. "P-pap...?"
"Sans, I want you to tell me the truth, okay?”
Sans nodded.
"What was that sound?"
Sans shifted looking off to the side. "...a whimper...?" he said, trying to ignore what specific sound he knew the other was talking about.
"....Sans." Papyrus said. Sans looked up meeting the other's unamused gaze and looked away.
"...it was a ...." he mumbled out the last word looking at the ground.
"What was that?"
"it was a moan...." he mumbled louder shutting his eyes feeling his face heat up even more if that was even possible. He shifted, "c-can w-we discuss this later please?? Ya know... when i'm not bleeding and have .5 hp?" he asked wanting to change subjects quickly.
"O-Of course."
Sans relaxed slightly, "a-are you ok now?" he asked looking up at the taller skeleton.
"Yes, much better, thank you sans."
"That's good." Sans said smiling "i'm gonna clean up... i'll be back." he said leaving the kitchen. he face palmed as soon as he head left and headed to the stairs. ‘stars that was so embarrassing!!’ he thought as he climbed the steps.
"Well... that was... interesting..." Papyrus muttered as he started pacing in the kitchen.
Sans stepped into his room and shut the door and took off his shirt examining the cuts. They weren’t too deep, but they most likely were going to scar. He sighed and stepped into the bathroom to clean ad bandage the cuts, once he was done he put on a short sleeve shirt and slipped on the black fleece jacket on over it. He zipped it up and let the sleeves fall over his hands. He took a breath calming himself down and headed downstairs.
He stepped into the kitchen, he saw Papyrus pacing and tilted his head, "hey. you ok?" he asked.
Papyrus paused in his pacing, "Fine. though I think I should be asking you that." he said. Sans shrugged and smiled.
"just a few scratches... I've had worse." he said sitting at the table and taking a few bites of the now cold spaghetti to restore his hp
"Worse?" Papyrus asked. Sans shrugged.
"nothing from bullies or anything.... mainly from anxiety attacks that got out of hand.... don't really like to talk about it..." he said staring at his plate. At this revelation, Papyrus was silent. Megalovania patted in slowly and mewled tilting her head. Sans smiled at her.
"Everything's fine now, sweetie. Come here." he said. The kitten bounded towards him and he scooped her up. He rubbed her ear as he held the kitten to his chest. The kitten purred and nuzzled into him. Sans looked at the time. He wasn't sure if his father was working late tonight still or not. Most likely he was going to come home early. He sighed.
"Pap, we'll have to talk later, I think dad might come home early."
"Alright. I should probably head home anyway." Papyrus said glancing at the time. He walked over and leaned down hugging the smaller skeleton. Sans reached an arm up hugging back. "drive safe... remember no murderous rampages." Sans said.
"I'll try not to, just for you, cherry."
Sans blushed at the nickname and pulled away. "I'll message you later tonight."
Papyrus smiled as the reaction and nodded as Sans stood and walked him to the door. he kissed the small skeleton's cheek before he pulled away and left heading to his car. Sans watched him drive away before shutting the door and sighing. He rubbed his face with his free hand and headed to the couch sitting down. He set Mega down on his lap and rubbed her head lightly.
'Stars, how am I going to explain to pap?'
The kitten looked up at him, and gave a little mewl as she tilted her head. Sans slumped back on the couch. He frowned lightly. What would Papyrus even think once it was explained? He sighed and set Megalovania to the side. he patted her head lightly and stood heading to the kitchen to clean it up before his father arrived home. Just as he finished, he heard the car pulling up in the driveway. He froze, before forcing himself to relax and turned to the microwave taking out the bowl of spaghetti he pulled off the lid on the bowl and sighed seeing it was still hot. He made his father a plate and set it on the table. He stepped out of the kitchen just as his father walked in.
"Hey... umm... I made some spaghetti for dinner." he said. Gaster said nothing as he bypassed the kitchen and went upstairs. Sans flinched and looked down before hurrying after his father.
"...dad? come on... I know was I stupid and got suspended, but is the silent treatment really necessary?" he asked.
"..." mumbled gaster
Sans frowned, "what?" he asked.
"Well maybe you should stop being as stupid as your older brother, hmm?"
Sans flinched at that and stepped back his eyes widening in shock. "w-what....? What does he have to do with any of this?"
You two NEVER think about the consequences of your actions! Look where it lead your brother, working as a stripper at G's strip club. I swear SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE YOU'LL END UP LIKE HIM!!!!!"
Sans stood shocked before glaring, "i'm nothing like him." he said. "I'm not going to turn out like him either. He only turned to that job and G to help get over mom's death. Just like you turned to your work and I buried myself in my school work. You weren't much help keeping him from going there for the job." he said. Gaster glared at him, but before he could speak Sans continued.
"hell, you weren’t much help to either of us. The way I see it L got lucky! He had someone to keep him from going off the edge. All I had was you and you weren't around until it was almost to late." he said. "He got to be happy. He's still happy. He loves his job." he added.
Sans groaned, "I don't even know what this has to do with me getting suspended! Its only for three damn days! It’s not like I got expelled. Hell it’s the first time I've ever gotten in trouble at school." he said. "why are you so pissed off about this?" he asked.
Gaster, "I don't want this becoming a habit." he said.
"It isn't going to be a habit." Sans snapped. "Like I said, it’s the first time I've ever gotten in trouble."
"But it always leads to more trouble!!"
“It won't!" Sans said. "do you really have so little faith in me? It’s not going to happen again. i'm not going to suddenly start lashing out and getting in more trouble." he added.
"How do I know that?" Gaster asked. "You snapped so quickly today. You could easily do so again. Maybe even attack someone!"
"Yes, I snapped! That's what happens to someone who's constantly bullied because of their sexuality and who they're dating! You even said it yourself that you couldn't blame me for it!" Sans said. "I've put up with all their bullshit! I'm the victim! Not her! You're my father damn it shouldn’t you be taking my side instead of treating this as if it’s my fault?! Papyrus took my side, why can't my own father do the same?!" Sans stared at his father.
"I am on your side, Sans... I'm just worried." Gaster said, after a few minutes.
"Well it doesn't feel like it." Sans replied.
“What do you want me to say, Sans? That it's fine? That i'm not upset??" Gaster asked.
"I want you to stop treating me like the bad guy!" Sans told him.
"What would you rather me do? Treat you like a hero? You got expelled Sans." Gaster hissed
"I didn't get expelled, dad, I got suspended!!!! There's a motherfucking difference between the two!!!”
Gaster, "Suspended, Expelled, it doesn't matter. You were still kicked out of the school!" he growled. "Next time you may end up getting expelled." he added
"I told you. it’s not going to happen again." Sans growled. Why couldn't his father understand that?
Sans looked down, "why am I even trying? It’s clear that you're never going to trust me because of this one little mistake...." he said. He let out a bitter laugh. "..... Did you actually talk to Asgore to get the whole story? Or did you just accept the fact that I was suspended? Do you even care that I've been bullied?" he asked looking at his father.
"O-of course I care, Sans..."
"really? Cause it sure has hell doesn't feel like it. Since it’s what caused this whole mess." the shorter skeleton said. "... if you cared you wouldn't be treating me like the villain."
"I-I'm- ..."
Sans waited for him to finished and scoffed shaking his head. He couldn't even apologize? He felt himself tear up and looked away, "...I hate you. I wish mom was here... At least she would have cared." the words slipped out before he could stop them, but he didn't care. He was hurt and felt betrayed. San turned and left heading down the stairs. He slipped his tennis shoes on and snatched up his keys. Exiting the house, he opened his phone and looked through his contacts. He stopped at the L section looking at one particular contact. 'I haven't talked to him in so long, but I need someone to talk to and he’s the only one who understands..' He sighed and selected his brother's contact and called him as he headed down the road. the phone rang a few times before it was picked up.
"Hello, L speaking."
"....hey bro..." Sans greeted. "Long time, no chat..." he said giving a weak laugh.
"... Sans? Are you alright? You haven't called in forever and you sound upset."
"...yeah, Sorry, just been really busy with school.... Dad and I got into a argument..."
"What about?"
"I got suspended from school for 3 days..." Sans said. "Dad got angry..."
"Why were you suspended??" L asked shocked.
"Been dealing with a few bullies... couldn't take it anymore and had a Violent Outburst in class." Sans answered. "But according to dad, it’s my fault and i'm the bad guy...."
"Look, why don't you come over to G's and we'll talk there, okay?"
"Ok... be there in a few." he said.
"alright. see you when you get here." L said. They hung up and Sans sighed. He rubbed his eye sockets before he started walking in the direction of G's house. It was a good 35 minute walk, when he arrived it was sunset. He headed up the porch steps and knocked. It wasn't long till the door opened. His brother smiled at him. Most others thought it was weird that the two looked alike except for the color of their magic and teeth. Sans gave a weak smile back. L reached out and pulled him into a hug. Sans reached up hugging back tightly.
"It's good to see you again, red."
"It's good to see you to, Pink." Sans said smiling he pulled back. "how ya been?" he asked.
"I've been well." the older brother said stepping aside to let Sans inside. Sans walked in and L shut the door "nice jacket by the way." he added. Sans smiled more.
"Thanks.. my boyfriend got it for me." he said.
"Boyfriend? You must tell me about him now." L said as he lead Sans to the kitchen.
Sans rolled his eyes, following L., "...his name is Papyrus, and he's my best friend... we actually just started dating over the weekend... he's stupidly over-protective." he said.
L raised a browbone in mystification "Overprotective?" He echoed.
"stupidly so." Sans chuckled, "if I didn't bribe him into not beating up every bully that messed with me he'd be expelled by now." he added. 'that or in jail' he thought.
"Really? He sounds like a good man then, I'll have to meet him someday. Would you like some tea?"
"We'll have to arrange a meeting soon then.. and yes please." Sans said. L started making some tea.
"So... you mentioned an argument between you and father, about you getting suspended..." he started. Sans shifted.
"...This girl... basically the head of Papyrus' fan club was jealous and pissed off... she said some things... mainly just lies trying to upset me but.... she ended up threatening dad... I got pissed off, snapped at her in the middle of class. She was suspended for two weeks, I got three days. Dad didn't seem to care for the reason and started saying that it was going to lead to more trouble.... He was acting like I killed someone..." he explained staring at the counter.
"...I've never gotten into trouble before... I don't understand why he was so upset...." He continued. L handed him a finished cup of tea which he took slowly. "He knew I was being bullied... so it shouldn't have been a surprise that i'd snap.... The worse part is he dragged you into the argument saying he was worried that I was going to end up like you...." Sans added. ‘when it was his fault for not being there for both of us to begin with…’ he thought.
L was silent as he listened to his little brother. before speaking, "While that was uncalled for and completely wrong to say.... He was right to be upset." L said. "Wait, just hear me out. It’s like you said, You've never gotten in trouble before. You've always been the perfect student. Any parent would get worried and upset if their perfect student of a child suddenly got suspended. I'm not saying that he was right in how he dealt with the situation, because he wasn't." he explained.
Sans sighed, "...I know... but it didn't even feel like he was worried or cared solely about me. Only the fact that i'd gotten in trouble.." he said.
"I know it feels like that, but dad was most likely panicking and his logical mind decided to blame you in its panic and confusion."
Sans shifted staring into his tea, "...I suppose you're right." he said.
"of course i'm right." L said grinning. "Are you planning on going home? Or are you planning on staying somewhere else for tonight till things calm down?" he asked.
"I think I'll stay at papyrus' tonight; to let dad cool down."
"Alright. it's getting late, do you need a ride or is he gonna come get you?" L asked.
"I'll have him come to get me. at least you two will get to meet." he said with a small smiled as he pulled out his phone and checked the time. 7 30. He dialed the other skeleton's number and placed his phone to his 'ear’.
RING RING CLICK "Hello, Sans, are you alright?"
"Fine.. I had I fight with my dad... was hoping I could stay the night... Just till things calm down." Sans said.
"Of course. Are you at home currently?" Papyrus asked, there was the sound of keys being picked up and Sans smiled slightly.
“Not now... kinda stormed out. I'm over at my Brother's place." Sans answered.
"alright. what's the address?" Papyrus asked.
"its 68721 Mountain dr." Sans replied.
"I'll be there soon."
"see you when you get here. bye." Sans said.
"bye."
click
"So," said L "How long have you been dating?"
“Since Saturday night.... We've been friends since... 8th grade though." Sans said.
"Awwwwww!"
Sans rolled his eyes.
It wasn't long till there was the sound of a car pulling up in the driveway. Sans stood.
"That should be Pap... Come on i'll introduce you." he said. He led his brother to the door as there was knock. He opened the door and smiled up at the taller skelton."hey paps. this is L, my older brother. L, meet Papyrus." Sans said.
"It's nice to meet you, L."
"Likewise, Papyrus, Sans could you enter the car? I would like to have a... chat with your boyfriend."
"Uh... sure, bro... go easy on him."
Sans patted Papyrus' arm lightly to wish him luck before heading to the car and getting in.
"What do you indent to do with my baby brother, bastard!?"
Papyrus blinked, "I assure you, I mean no harm to Sans. All I want is for him to be happy and safe." he said truthfully.
L just stared papyrus down.
Papyrus met his eyes not backing down. He'd be damned if he allowed Sans Brother to chase him off. The intense staring contest went on for what seemed like hours before L backed down.
"...You better take good care of him." L said.
"I will."
"Good." L said, he gave a small smile, "It was nice to meet you. It’s getting late. So you should head home. Drive safe." he said.
Papyrus nodded and turned, "Have a good night, L." he said.
"You too, Papyrus." L said before heading inside. Papyrus headed to the car and got in.
"How'd it go?" Sans asked, smiling.
"It went very well, sans."
"good." Sans said. Papyrus started the car and drove off in the direction of his house. "thanks for letting me stay the night." the small skeleton murmured.
"It's not a problem at all sans."
"Your parents don't mind do they? I'd hate to be a bother..." he said.
"they're fine with it. Besides they like you. Mom thinks you're a good influence on me." Papyrus said chuckling.
"I think she's just happy that I've kept you from going to jail." Sans chuckled.
"I think they're both happy about that." Papyrus said laughing.
They arrived at the taller skeleton's house and headed inside. A tall female skeleton came from the kitchen and sighed when she saw them.
"There you are! You know better than just run off like that." she scolded Papyrus.
"Sorry, Mom. I was just picking up sans. He needs a place to stay tonight is it alright if he crashes here?" Papyrus asked.
"Well warn us next time you go on a rescue mission. And of course. You're always welcome here Sans." Calibri said giving the small skeleton a smile. Sans smiled back.
"thank you, Mrs. Font."
"I told you, call me Calibri, hun." she said. "Your father went to bed early, so keep it down. He has to go to the lab early tomorrow." she told Papyrus.
"Ok." Papyrus said.
"And it’s a school night. I want both of you in bed by 10." she said sternly.
"Yes, Mrs. Calibri.”
"Yes, mom."
"Good." she said smiling.
Papyrus led Sans upstairs to get him settled in. Sans followed behind Papyrus. they entered the taller skeleton's room and papyrus headed to his dresser and pulled out a t-shirt and shorts and held them out to sans who took them.
"They may be a bit big." Papyrus said.
"it’s fine." Sans said.
Sans walked into the bathroom, that was in the hallway, to get dressed. As soon as he left the room Papyrus started to pace back and forth. As predicted, the clothes were rather big, but luckily not too much. The shirt fell about mid-femur. The shorts luckily had a drawstring so they didn't fall off his hipbones. One of the sleeves slipped off his shoulders and he sighed. 'at least they're comfy.' he thought. He stretched and stepped out of the bathroom and headed back into his boyfriend’s room and blinked seeing him pacing around. "Something wrong?" he asked tilting his head.
"Yes, actually, it’s about earlier today." Papyrus started.
"Hm? which part exactly?" Sans asked curiously.
"When I was at your house."
Sans, "you going homicidal? What about it? You're not gonna do that again are you?" he asked, ignoring what Papyrus was actually talking about.
"You know exactly which part I'm talking about, Sans, don't ignore it!" Papyrus snapped.
The small skeleton sighed and shifted awkwardly, "...damn I was really hoping you'd just forget about that..." he said feeling his cheekbones heat up slightly. He wrapped his arms around himself, "...what about it exactly?" he asked looking up at the other nervously.
“Are you a masochist, sans?"
Sans' face turned a brighter shade of red and he looked away reaching up to fix his glasses. He shifted. "...I.... uh..... maybejustalittlebit...." he mumbled out the words quickly feeling himself blush even more as he avoided eye contact.
"Say that again, Sans, I didn't quite hear you."
Sans shifted again and sighed, "... I said... maybe.... just a little bit..." he murmured quietly still avoiding eye contact.
Papyrus silently stared at him and he started fidgeting. 'oh stars, what if he wants to break up now? I don't think I could handle that. pap please don't break up with me...' thinking this Sans started to silently weep. Sans shut his eyes and started trembling. 'I should have said no... I should have just denied it. stars why am I so stupid??' he thought. Papyrus blinked snapping from his thoughts and tensed, noticing the small skeleton crying.
"Sans...?"
Sans froze, and reached up wiping his tears away. "...y-y-yes?" he stuttered out
Papyrus frowned, "Sans, i'm not disgusted." he said walking over to the other. Sans looked up at him blinking.
"..y-you're not..?" he asked.
"Of course not... i'm a bit surprised. but I don't mind." the taller said. Sans relaxed
Papyrus reached up and wiped the remaining tears away. Sans closed his eyes and leaned his cheek into the other's hand.
".................."
The small skeleton opened his eyes and looked up at Papyrus. Papyrus pulled Sans into a hug. the small skeleton squeaked before melting into the embrace and hugging the other back. They stayed like this for a while until sans decided to speak up.
"Pap?"
"Yes, Cherry?"
Sans blushed lightly at the nickname and shifted in the taller skeleton's arms. "we should probably... set up the guest room." Sans said pulled away slightly.
"...Yeah..." Papyrus slowly, hesitantly lets go of sans and clears his throat. Sans shifted and fiddled with the large shirt fixing it slightly, as he followed his boyfriend out to the guest room. The minute Papyrus opened the door he was shocked as the room had looked like it had not been cleaned in months. There was dust everywhere as well as old papers and other junk. 'Looks like father used this room when mom was mad at him or when he had a breakthrough,' Papyrus thought. Sans blinked when he saw the room and let out a quiet whistle. 'guess this rules out the guest room...' he thought.
"...I guess I could always sleep on your floor..." he suggested.
Papyrus turned to give sans a blank stare. "And have mother yell and lecture me for 4 hours? I think not, you'll sleep with me." Sans blinked at that and blushed brightly
"I-I-I'm fine on the floor...." he murmured.
"No, I will not allow it. besides i'd be a terrible boyfriend if I let you sleep on the floor." Papyrus said pulling Sans back towards his room. Sans blushed more.
"r-r-really.. Pap-"
"You are sharing the bed with me. That's final. No more arguing." Papyrus said. Sans sighed and gave in rolling his eyes.
"ok..." he said, smiling slightly.Papyrus smiled back and they headed into his room. Sans followed his boyfriend to the bed.
"...Are you sure it’s ok?" the anxious skeleton asked shifting nervously as Papyrus pulled the blankets down.
"Yes, Cherry. It’s perfectly fine." Papyrus answered looking at his nerd. Sans blushed hearing the damned pet name and sighed climbing into the large bed. his soul raced at the thought of sharing the taller skeleton's bed. he shifted ad reached up and pulled off his glasses folding them and setting on the bedside table carefully. Sans sighed and settled down yawning, feeling the stress of the long day finally hit him. He was so exhausted. He nuzzled into the soft pillow as he felt Papyrus settle down next to him after turning the light off. The smaller skeleton relaxed closing his eyes, lightly breathing in the other's scent.
"....thanks for letting me stay, Papy..." he murmured sleepily opening his eyes half way to look at his boyfriend.
"Anytime, Sans." Papyrus said giving him a small smile. Sans smiled back and started to close his eyes only to reopen them as Papyrus suddenly pulled him close. Sans squeaked his red eye-lights shrinking in surprise and he blushed at the noise he made as well at how close the two of them were. The taller chuckled and lifted Sans chin gently pressing their teeth together briefly before pulling back and holding Sans close. "Good night, My dear Cherry." he said. The small skeleton squirmed slightly. before burying his face in the others. He smiled and closed his eyes.
"Night, Paps." he murmured closing his eyes as he relaxed.
The next morning
Sans woke to the sound of the alarm clock. he winced and snuggled further into the warmth next to him. He felt Papyrus shifted and reach over to shut off the alarm. Sans opened his eyes slightly at the movement and yawned before nuzzling into the other. Papyrus glanced down at the other and chuckled quietly rubbing the smaller skeleton's skull, making Sans purr and press up into his hand, until he realized what he was doing, blushed, and panicked embarrassingly, causing him to fall out of the bed. Papyrus lunged catching him before he could it the floor and pulled him back up. He chuckled seeing how red his nerd's face was.
"Oh stars..." sans muttered, "I’m sorry pap."
"For what exactly?" he asked
Sans stuttered over his words. Honestly he wasn't sure why he was sorry, it had just been a reflex. Papyrus chuckled and slowly released Sans, once he was sure he wouldn't jump off the bed and stood as there was a knock on his door.
"Boys, breakfast is ready. Hurry up and get dressed for the day!" Calibri called through the door.
"Ok mother." Replied Papyrus. Sans shifted and stood, listening as Calibri left. Papyrus headed to his closet and opened it pulling out his school uniform. "Do you want me to drop you off at your house? Or do you want to wait here?" Papyrus asked.
"I'll wait here."
“Alright. I'm gonna hop in the shower. You can go ahead and go eat. I'll join you in a few." Papyrus said he pressed a skeleton kiss to his boyfriend's cheek bone as he passed him and then headed towards the bathroom. Sans watched and shifted fixing the clothes he'd borrowed from Papyrus and left the room heading to the dining room. Calibri was at the table with her husband, Webding Salex, a tallish skeleton with half a skull, which was covered up by a mask. According to Papyrus his father had been involved in an accident at the lab he worked at resulting in half his skull being blown off. it had been a miracle he'd survived. Calibri glanced up as Sans entered and grinned.
"Morning, Sans, Sleep well?" she asked.
"Morning Mrs. Calibri, morning Mr. Webding." Sans greeted. "Yes I did. You?"
"I slept just fine." she answered.
"Morning, Sans, and please, just Salex is fine." Salex said smiling softly, before taking a drink of his coffee. He glanced at the time and stood. "I should head out. I'll see you tonight." he said kissing his wife's cheek bone.
"Have a good day and be careful!" Calibri said.
"I will." Salex said grabbing his keys and heading out the door. Sans watched as he took a seat at the table.
"Did you forget your uniform at home? I can drive you over to get it if you wish." Calibri said looking at sans. Sans shook his head.
"Th-thats not necessary... I uh... I'm not going to school... I got suspended..." he said, looking down. "There was an incident involving a bully..." he said rubbing his arm nervously.
"Well I'm sure you gave them a good lashing."
"It was a great lashing. There's several videos of the outburst uploaded to the internet already." Papyrus snickered as he entered the room. Sans jumped at the other's sudden appearance and blinked.
"Th-there's videos of it??" he asked.
"Yep." Papyrus said grinning.
"O-oh stars." Sans said as he panicked slightly, thinking of all the negative things that were probably being said.
"Relax, Sansy, it isn't that bad." Papyrus said walking over to him.
"How is that not bad?" Sans asked. "If bender or the others see it i'm screwed!" he said.
"Sans, you'll be fine, trust me. They won't try anything and if they do i'll break their arms." Papyrus said taking a seat at the table. Calibri gave her son a look.
"That's not reassuring." Sans told him.
"Papyrus Sable Font! Tell me I did not just hear that!" Said Calibri as she gave her son the disapproving stare. Papyrus winced hearing his full name and gave his mother a small smile.
"You didn't just hear that?" he said. Sans looked down covering his face with his hands. Calibri's glare narrowed. "Sorry." Papyrus said. Sans' shoulder's shook slightly as he fought off his laughter.
"Good." She replied "Now eat your breakfast and get going, school starts at 8:00."
Papyrus started to eat as did Sans. After they finished eating Sans helped Calibri gather the dishes as Papyrus slid on his shoes.
"Have a good day. Don't get into trouble!" Sans said. Papyrus walked over and pulled him into a hug and kissed him briefly, making Sans squeak and blush bright red.
"I'll try not to. Have a good day, My sweet Cherry~." he said as he released the flustered skeleton who covered his glowing face as he silently shrieked. Papyrus chuckled and waved to his mom.
"See ya, Mom." he said snatching up his keys and leaving. Calibri waved to her son giggling quietly. Sans kept his face hidden as he listened to the car start and drive off. 'T-that j-jerk' he thought. He shut his eyes and took a shaky breath glancing up as he heard Calibri walk over. He shifted and rubbed at his cheek bones.
"Would you like to help me with some household chores?" she asked. Sans smiled a little.
"S-sure." he said. Thus, Sans spent the next six and a half hours helping Calibri. He was currently helping Calibri with Dinner when Papyrus arrived home.
"I'm home!" he called.
"Welcome home, dear, how was school?" Calibri asked.
"Boring as usual. " the jock answered.
"I thought you had practice on Tuesdays?" Sans asked tilting his skull as Papyrus sat at the table.
"It was cancelled. Some idiots decided to ruin the baseball field and its gonna take a week for it to be fixed." Papyrus answered.
"Really? It'll be fixed in time for the game won't it?" Calibri asked.
"Hopefully. That's what the Coach is saying at least." Papyrus said. Sans went to say something but paused as his phone went off. He pulled it out glancing at it and blinked answering it.
"Hey, L. What's up?" he asked.
"Are you at the hospital?" L asked. Sans frowned at the question.
"..No, i'm not. I'm still at Pap's place... Why?" he asked.
"...They didn't call you?" L asked, he seemed to be on the verge of tears.
"Call me....? Why would the hospital call me? Did something happen?" Sans asked, his soul sped up slightly as his anxiety started acting up.
"....Its Dad. There was an accident at the lab. He was badly injured." L said. Sans froze his eyes widening. He started to tremble.
"Wha-wha-WHAT!?" He Whispered.
Papyrus sat up frowning, "Sans?"
Sans didn't hear him; tears filled his eyes as he started to panic, "I-I-is h-he ok?? H-how b-bad I-is it??" he asked.
"... I-I don't know... Th-the doctors said h-he's in pretty bad shape... he's in surgery now." L answered. "They're tr-trying to.... k-keep him in one p-piece...."
Sans covered his teeth. "Oh stars..." he said. "Wh-what hospital?" he asked. 'This is my fault... oh stars this is all my fault I said those horrible things! Why did I have to say all of that?!' he screamed at himself silently
"St. Ebott." L answered.
"I-i'm o-on my w-way." he choked out, before hanging up. Papyrus rushed to Sans' side.
"Sans, what's wrong? What happened??" he asked.
"I-its d-dad... h-he's.... he was in an a-accident." he stuttered out. "h-he's at the hospital!" Papyrus tensed.
"Oh my, that's terrible!" Calibri said.
"Pap you have to take me to the hospital!" Sans whimpered out. Papyrus nodded.
"Alright come on. we'll be back later." Papyrus said as he led Sans to the door he snatched up his keys and Followed Sans out to the car. Once they entered the car Sans turned to Papyrus.
"He'll be fine, Sans. Calm down." Papyrus said cutting off Sans before he could speak. He started the car and leaned over pressing a light kiss to his boyfriend's skull. Sans whimpered and latched onto his arm pressing his forehead against the taller skeleton's arm. Papyrus let him, pulling out of the driveway and speeding off towards the hospital. Hopefully they wouldn't get pulled over.
At The Hospital
As soon as the car stopped sans quickly ran to the hospital’s entrance and went up to the nearest nurse. "E-excuse m-me, i'm looking for W-WingDing Gaster." He said. The bunny blinked and checked her chart.
"Are you kin?" she asked.
"Y-yes! I'm h-his s-son. C-comic Sans S-Serif." he answered. The Bunny nodded.
"Alright, he's still in surgery he should be out in an hour or so." she answered.
Sans frowned, watching as the nurse headed out. He whimpered quietly He looked up as Papyrus got to his side. The taller skeleton wrapped an arm around him.
"Come on, let’s sit down." he murmured leading Sans to the chair.
"Where's L?" Sans questioned.
"I'm sure he's around." Papyrus said as he sat down. It was long until the elder skeleton appeared, with a tall Flame elemental monster with yellowish flames following him. L spotted them and rushed over, the flame following him. Sans jumped up seeing him. L grabbed Sans into a tight hug, held on tight and started to tear up.
Sans clung to him burying his face in his older brother's shoulder, trembling, "I said all those horrible things." he whimpered.
"Shh... It's not your fault."
Sans shut his eyes trembling more, "It feels like it... th-the last thing I told him was that I h-hated him!" he sobbed. L hushed him again. Papyrus frowned slightly, shifting. G frowned. About an hour passed and a doctor came out into the lobby. Sans and L were sitting next to one another, Sans curled against his older brother's side as L held him. G was sitting on L's other side as Papyrus sat on Sans'. Papyrus glanced up seeing the doctor heading towards them and nudged his boyfriend. Sans looked up as did L. They got sat up straight. The Doctor smiled slightly.
"L and Sans?" he asked.
"Y-yes." Sans said.
"...Your Father is out of surgery.... it went well and we were able to keep him from completely melting..." the human said. "But.... unfortunately it seems he's fallen into a coma." he added.
"...I-is h-he alright?" L asked.
"For now he's stable... but with the damage done.... it is uncertain if he will wake up or not." the doctor said.
