im really sorry for the huge (A/N) at the beginning of last chapter lol
they should be a lot shorter from now on.

———————————————————————

i felt arms place me down on something comfy. i was drained from earlier so i decided to sleep, not stopping to think that i could be murdered at any second, considering im in a strangers house. i drifted off to a peaceful slumber.

**///time skip\\\**

i woke up on a green couch with a very tall, concerned skeleton in front of my face. i didn't know what to do but scream. "AHHHH!" i yelled "NYEHHHH!" it screamed back. it caught me off guard and i laughed. "Papyrus?! what happened? i heard yelling!?" the skeleton from before was at the bottom of the stairs. "you..." i said weakly "you saved me" he chuckled kindly. "ya remember that, heh." he said. his voice was deeper that i remembered, but it was also softer, it rang through my ears like melted chocolate. i was so focused on his voice that i didn't realise 'Papyrus' trying to get my attention, or i think thats what his name was. "NYEH, HUMAN ARE YOU OKAY? WOULD YOU LIKE SOME SPAGHETTI?" Papyrus asked. "no im okay thank you, not in the mood for spaghetti right now" i said calmly. "NOT IN THE MOOD FOR SPAGHETTI?!" Papyrus exclaimed "THIS MUST BE A HUMAN THING BECAUSE I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, AM ALWAYS IN THE MOOD FOR SPAGHETTI" Papyrus ran into the kitchen, grabbing pots and pans, presumably to make said 'spaghetti'. The other skeleton grinned and said "as long as its not an impasta, ill eat it" he said and sat next to me. i heard Papyrus groan from the kitchen "come on kiddo, lets get ya to bed" Sans said. i fell asleep in Sans' arms as he carried me to his room and set me on his bed.

**/// time skip \\\**

"heya." i said as i walked downstairs. "sup' kid?" Sans responded. "im fine, but is there anywhere i could buy some clothes. "yeah ill take you right now if you want?" Sans asked. "yeah please" i really needed some new clothes. "okay, just take my hand. i know a shortcut"
i laughed at Sans when he said this but, as soon as i blinked, i was in front of a clothing store.

**/// another time skip brought to you by Sans' puns \\\**

Sans pov

"Sans i have to pay you back" (Y/N) complained, not wanting me to spend money on them. "on one condition, you have to sleep in my room, with me, from now on." i said grinning like an idiot because i know that
(Y/N) wont accept that pla- "okay, ill do it"

(Y/N) pov
"okay, ill do it" i said "because you spent all this money on me, its only fair" Sans' whole skull was blue. he grabbed my hand and 'shortcutted' us into his room. he let me get changed in peace. we climbed into bed and i felt some bony arms wrap around my waist, i put my head into Sans' chest. i felt him tense for a minute before relaxing again. i had a really good sleep that night, held in the comfort of Sans' arms.

i saw them again. the greyed-out figure that had been tormenting me even before i fell into the underground, but its only gotten worse since then. every single time i saw this person, i would try and talk. . . and yet, i could never speak. they stood there, an amused grin on their face. "are you just going to stand there or what?" they said, the grin seemingly etched onto their face getting even wider, if that was possible. "i-" i stopped as soon as i started to talk. what? i wasnt able to talk before, so how can i now? "simple, because i stopped you" they said. huh? "its a shame you're so stupid (Y/N), we could have been such good partners, but no, you had to go and listen to that brat "who, Chara?" i asked "yes, Chara, that stupid child" im so confused "ill leave you be. . . for now, enjoy these nights of sleep while you have them." they said. "by the way," they turned back around, facing me. "my name, is player" player threw a knife at me. it lodged itself into my throat, i made gargling noises as player grabbed the knife, making sure to twist it as they pulled it out, i fell to the floor

i shot up in bed in a cold sweat, waking Sans in the process. "huh? whats goin- (Y/N)! are you okay?! your crying" Sans said. i shakily reached a hand to my throat, where players knife had been moments before. "had a n-nightmare" i said. "wanna tell me what it was about?" i nodded "ive been having nightmares for the past few years, its always this greyed-out child figure. they've tormented me for almost 10 years now. and last night, they told me their name was 'player' and-" "wait. player?!" Sans said worriedly "uh yeah, anyway. in all of the nightmares leading up to last night, i wasnt able to talk. but last night, player mocked me about standing there and not saying anything. i realised i could talk, they said something about us being good partners if, if. . ." Sans looks confused. "if?" he questions. i have a feeling i shouldnt tell him about Chara, but for some reason i trust him. "if i didnt make that promise to Chara" i whisper. "Chara!? what promise?" i tell him that i promised to help Chara and their brother be alive. "after that, they said that they would leave me be for now and to enjoy these nights of sleep for now." im sobbing by the time i finish my story, and Sans looks shocked. "wow, thats -uh a lot" i dont blame him for being confused. "hey, don't cry" Sans patted my back reassuringly. i grabbed him by his jacket and sobbed into his hood. i felt my eyes getting heavy, Sans ran his fingers through my hair gently while rocking me back and forth.
