Fairytale Complex - [Sans x Reader]

Chapter Twenty Two | Another Medium (Part 3 of 5 | His POV)

His last kiss turns out to be the longest and most elaborate of them all, to the point where he can feel his face grow hot enough to toast bread on it.

Rather than a smiling visage, he's greeted with a straight face the moment he stops and pulls back. The human meets his gaze with that same expression and doesn't take long to ask, "Do you really feel comfortable being with me like this?" They gulp and later let out a breath. "A while back, you... You said you were still figuring out who you are, right? Are you sure you don't feel uncomfortable doing this with me?"

Sans tugs his shirt's collar down to reveal a hickey underneath. "Asking that after we've been doing this for a good while now?" he asks, biting back a grin. "I don't mind if it's with you -- someone I've gotten to know well."

"But you said you weren't comfortable with stuff beyond cuddling!"

"I said I wasn't sure."

"You said 'hard pass' on making out and-"

"-unless it's someone I'm really close to." He gets near them. "It wasn't a definite answer back then. I still had my doubts, and part of that was... influenced by the life I used to live at the Underground." His thoughts drift to his responsibilities from the past, though he's soon reminded of his current priorities and brushes those memories aside as a result. "Now that I've been through plenty of stuff up here, I understand myself better -- like how showin' affection like this doesn't make me weak, and how it can go beyond family and friends."

"But-"

He leans in again and presses a kiss to their nose. "I like it -- knowin' I'm doing this with someone I like this much." Saying that is his last hope at stopping them from inadvertently making him confess his feelings towards them to such detail. "'Course, I don't think I'm able to do anything beyond makin' out without feeling uninterested in it, but the rest's fine. I like kissin' you, and I don't mind if it gets a lil' messy sometimes."

"Are you sure?" Sans replies with a 'yes' and hears them out as they add, "...Really sure?"

"Really sure." He chuckles and lays down in bed, now met with the view of them sitting up straight. "I'm comfortable when I'm around you, and I like it when you make that cute lil' gasp whenever I kiss you back."

Their eyes look elsewhere as they try to cover their face from his line of sight. "Would you say you're, like... asexual or something like that, then?" They hug their knees to their chest as they contemplate the situation, gaze focused on nowhere in particular as they drift away in their thoughts. "I told Papyrus you might've been uninterested in romance way back then, but if you've had crushes on other people before me, a- and if you want to date me, then..."

"Maybe I'm ace? I'm not too sure yet." He grabs their hand and tugs at them to lie down next to him. "I don't feel an urge or a need for sex -- Don't think I ever have, actually. But if you said to me let's kiss and cuddle 'til we get tired of each other, then that's a solid yes from my part."

The human looks about as unconvinced as he expects them to be, though they seem to relent by the way their face softens up and how they take a while to form a response. "If you say so, then..." They stop for a second to huff. "Then, alright. I've dated a few friends before, so uh..."

"Boastin' over how many people you've dated before me, huh?"

"It- It's not like that!" They cover their fluster away by swatting his shoulder. "It's just... since you're still not sure about what you're comfortable with, and that you're saying you're only comfortable doing this with someone you know well, then I don't want to make you feel as if you need to change, or that you're wrong, or... or that you need to go way out of your comfort zone just for me. There's nothing wrong with not wanting this, so if you ever feel weird about it, then let me know, and I'll stop."
