(~Your POV + Time Skip~)

I wake up to the sound of Sans rushing down the hall. I have a pretty good feeling that it's 6 am.

'Why..? Why do I keep waking up at the slightest noise?'

It gets quite annoying, not feeling so well so you're waking up a dozen times in the middle of the night for no reason. It's been another few days so I have gotten relatively better. All I get are small headaches and nausea moments here and there. I can feel Mutt wrapped around me from behind.

'No more pillow barrier. Our two kingdoms have merged.'

I smile, loving his warmth and attention.

'If I get to wake up to snuggles, then I guess it isn't so bad.'

I slightly laugh and carefully turn over so I can face him. I nuzzle my head into his sweater. He takes a deep breath in, waking up, "G-Good morning? Y-You having trouble s-s-sleeping again..?" I cuddle him, "Your brother is rushing down the hallway again." Papyrus holds one arm over his eye sockets, yawning, "...... O-Okay, I'll go c-check o-o-on h-him." I pull myself closer to him, "Hold on, I never said I was ready to let you go. You're going to be gone all day and I'm going to miss you a ton."

Barb has to go back to sentry duty and sadly, I can't go with him this time. 'For my health and protection' according to Sans.

'Oh, yeah.. I forgot he knows about Mutt and I being together.'

They apparently talked about it at some point and now Sans kinda has shown a bit more respect towards me. I'm not sure at some points whether it's respect or a hidden insult, but it's Sans.

Mutt smirks and gives me a quick peck (or small kiss) on the head, "Well, y-you don't want m-m-me t-to be late, do you?" I sigh, "Fine, but I want extra snuggles when you're back." I let go of him and he grunts as he sits up. Mutt stretches his arms out, "S-Sans put some l-leftovers for y-you in the fridge. You'll b-be a-able to cook them, right?" I nod, "Yeah, I'll be fine." "T-Take your medicine." He states. I throw my head back into my pillow and whine, "I will." "And m-m-make sure t-t-to c-call me if anything happens."

Mutt leans over me, "O-One more kiss goodbye." I giggle and give him a kiss on the cheek, "There, now behave." He chuckles and stands up, grabbing his jacket off the floor, "D-Don't s-set the h-h-house on fire."

He does a small wave and then steps out, closing the door behind him. Seconds later I can hear him and Sans talking, they usually do before going to work. I would join them but I'm tired. I want more SLEEP. I grab Pap's pillow and pull it close to me.

'This is my substitute boyfriend until Mutt gets back. Lol'

(~Mutt's POV~)

"Ya doing alright? Y/N says she h-heard you s-stomping and r-running down the hallway again." I ask. Sans is eating a quick fruit salad he made for breakfast, "I overslept." I look at the time, "O-Overslept? .......... M'lord, you're three m-minutes o-off schedule, that's basically n-n-nothing." He glares at me, "It's not 'nothing' when you have a personal meeting planned with the Queen." I take a sharp breath through my teeth, "Ouch.. You're a-a-already dead. I'd wish you l-luck but pretty s-s-sure it won't h-help."

He finished his food and rushes out of the kitchen. I noticed something and call out, "Sans!" Before he gets out the door, Sans turns around "What?" "Y-Ya forgot y-your scarf on the c-counter." I turn it blue and basically yeet it at him with a flick of my wrist. He catches it with his lightning-fast reflexes, "Thanks." After that, he was already gone, running down the road.

I zip up my jacket and grab a small granola bar out of the cabinet. Sans got me some the other day while he was at the store. I'm so happy I don't have to starve. Next, I walk out of the house, eating my granola bar while walking down the path.

(~Your Dream???~)

Y/N walks through a breezy meadow, wearing a simple white, silk dress. The long grass brushed up against her waist as she walked. She smiles, feeling the warmth of the sunset on her skin. Far ahead, Papyrus is standing there, watching the sunset too. He turns to her and smiles, "Y-you coming?" He outstretched his hand to her. Y/N shouts, "Yeah! Hang on!" She gleefully runs towards him, the soft soil moving underneath her feet. As she gets closer, she outstretched her arm to him. However, before their hands could touch, she falls into a pit that was hidden underneath the grass. She screams as darkness enfolded around her, until she hit the ground. She whines, looking around as she pushes herself up. Voices echo in the pitch black darkness, one man and one woman. The voices are familiar...

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING? Putting these false ideas into our daughter's head?! All she talks about is souls. Telling everyone at school, the people at the grocery store, even my parents! It is making everyone in town uncomfortable, which affects my reputation as CEO of my company! Souls are nothing but fairytale!"
.
"She's just a kid, she needs something to believe in. If you would just show her some attention then maybe you would understand."
.
"She needs to understand that she is soulless! I am soulless! YOU are soulless! Therefore, she needs to quit talking about it. Stop filling her head with those childish stories."
.
"THEY'RE NOT CHILDISH! THEY'RE REAL- I HAVE A SOUL!"
.
.
.
.
".... You're a Monster... I'm calling the police.."
.
"WAIT DON'T! STOP IT! WHAT ABOUT Y/N?! SHE NEEDS ME-"
.
SLAP..
.
"You will never to speak to my daughter again."

Y/N becomes afraid. She wanted the voices to stop. WHY WOULDN'T IT STOP?! She got up and ran as fast and far as she could, but the voices followed, screaming, lashing out at each other. She couldn't tell where she was going, everything is just black. Until, she saw a faint red glow in the distance. As she went closer to it, the lower the voices became, until she couldn't hear them.

Now, there was a new voice, small and frail. It sounded like a child sobbing.

"Papyrus I'm sorry."
"I'm sorry."
"I won't reset anymore, I promise."
"Please, set me free."

The glow was bright, Y/N finally found the source. There's a bright red outline of a small girl, curled up in a glass box. She's very upset, pulling at her hair, a soul of determination hovering in front of her.

"Don't keep me here."
"I won't reset!"
"Let me out"
"PLeaSe!"
"LEt mE out!"
"SomEBoDy HELP!"
"LeT ME OUt!"

The girl turns to Y/N, letting out an ear-piercing scream as she desperately slammed her fists into the glass, "LET ME OUT!" A large door slams in front of the glass box, shutting her in.

(~End Dream/ Your POV~)

I gasp as I sit up, breathing and sweating heavily.

'What... was that?..'

I took a second to breathe and look around my surroundings, just to help calm down.

That's when I saw a red glow coming from underneath Mutt's closet door.

Writer~San: WoW- that ending. Suspense! o(｀ω' )o A small amount of Y/N's backstory has been revealed too. However, I don't think I'm going to focus on it that much in general so feel free to come up with your own conclusions. That's it for today! Bye!!!
