A Cure for Happiness

The more time you spent with Sans the more you felt the pull, the happier you were. It was like Sans was a piece you'd been missing for long and you hadn't even known it. The pulling confused you to know end and you've been meaning to ask Sans about it, but you've been getting close. So close to getting the right variant. You hoped. "Hey Sans? Can we talk?" The pulled was tugging constantly when the Skeleton was near so you knew it had something to do with him. You just hoped he knew what it was. "sup [N/N]?" He replied absent-mindedly as he peered through a scope. "What do you know about... souls pulling?" Sans head snapped up, expression unreadable. "your soul is pulling?" You nodded. "how long?" He pressed, making you nervous. "Uh.... a few weeks... is it bad? Will I be ok?" He laughed, almost breathlessly. "n-no, no, no... i, uh, heh... it's not bad. it's, uh, your soul is acknowledging me as your... partner.. in human terms, you've got a crush." It was your turn to freeze in place. You... had a crush on Sans..?

🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️

You both sat in silence for quite awhile as you took that in and accepted that yes, that made sense. You had a crush on Sans. "What... what do I do... I've never, uh.." Sans shuffled in place, a yellow tint to his cheekbones. "well i've, uh, i've had a 'crush' on you for quite a bit.. heh.." That was suspicious. "The way you said crush was weird, it's a monster thing, isn't it?" His eyelights shifted down. "... yeah.." So he wasn't sure how to actually explain the pull then. He tended to try and use human terms if it something he wasn't sure how to explain or found difficulty explaining monster stuff to you. It's happened a few times now. "Just give it to me straight, I'll ask questions if I get confused." He pulled out his chair and sat down. "i honestly didn't think humans got a soulmate pull. i thought it was a monster thing only. what i was saying was true enough, your soul recognizes me as your partner... your destined partner." You blinked owlishly. "Soulmate... destined partner.... you and I are... meant to be.. born for each other, all that?" Sans hesitated and he nodded.

🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️

That was it then. You were Sans soulmate. Sans was yours. You both decided it was worth trying out... being together. Nothing to serious, you'd take it slow. No mushy stuff yet. Hugs were fine, it turned out that Sans loved showing his affection. He got you gifts too. Sometimes flowers, sometimes chocolates. Sometimes a item you wanted, he was spoiling the crap out of you. Of course this was done during downtime, you kept professional during work. In turn you got him many of his wants as gifts. BBQ mostly. A fluffy blanket that he often burritoed himself into. A telescope so he could see specific stars and planets. You both had your first date on the roof of the hospital, watching the stars with that blanket and telescope. "what a beautiful night for stargazing.." Sans murmured as he nestled into the blanket with you also bundled inside of it. "It is, not a cloud in the sky." You replied, leaning into him. He wrapped his tail around you, holding you ever closer. "Show me your favorite star constellations." His yellow eyelights glimmered as he happily obliged and started to rambled. You were more than happy to listen.

🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️

The first time you did kiss, it was quite a few dates later. You'd taken him swimming in the cities park. It had taken a bit to find a way to get the ferals away for awhile and Sans had bodies to remove, but other wise with no food and a car alarm to distract them, you got the park to yourselves. You wore an actual swimsuit you got from one of the stores while you and Sans were 'shopping' and he was wearing a t-shirt and shorts. You took to the water in an instant, gliding through and plunging into the depths because you could. It alarmed Sans though, who waded in after you. It wasn't long before you got mischievous and pushed up to the surface, splashing him as you did so with a grin on your face. He sputtered as you swam closer and pressed a kiss to his teeth, causing his 'condition' to worsen. You giggled and pulled him in with you to 'wake him up'. By the time you both broke to the surface, you were both grinning like idiots. You splashed him. He splashed you. It became a splashing war.

🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️🧟‍♂️

Then there was the first time you said those three precious words to him. You'd been dating for a good few months at this point and you were still not there with the cure like you were hoping. Sans was always there to give you words of comfort, nuzzles, and kisses. Sans figured it was time for his break and took you to the movie theater. "Do you even know how to work that stuff?" You questioned, referring to the projector and computer. You and Sans had removed the feral the same way you had done at the park. "sure i can. whadya wanna watch?" You and Sans poked through the movies until you picked out your preferred choice then got popcorn, candy, and soda for viewing pleasure. You both picked out a spot in the way back and Sans started the film, both of you getting comfortable with the blanket while the commercials rolled. You both chatted away as you waited for the lights to dim, only silencing yourselves when they did. You and Sans both enjoyed it, or at least what he saw of it before he passed out on your shoulder. You him woke up when it was done and he took you both home. "Sans." He gave a tired hum. "I love you." He blinked and smiled widely. "i love you too, gracious."
