(Sans x Reader) The one you call home

||Chapter 9: The Choice||

Sorry for being dead again.

Let's get into it!

Your POV:

You open your eyes, immediately gasping for air.
You clutch onto your chest still feeling the pain.
You look around, you're surrounded by nothing but darkness, emptiness, void.
"Hello!? Someone! Anyone!"
You cry out.
"Sans!.."
You fall onto your knees, sobbing silently.
You hear faint cries behind you.
You turn to the familiar tone.
It's Sans...
You run towards the voice, a distant light grows the more you run.
Suddenly.
You see a faded scene.
You see your own limp, lifeless body.
Sans is sobbing desperately into your shirt.
Papyrus is over you, eyes and hands covered in an orange flame. His face stained with tears.
You gasp and fall next to Sans. Tears form falling almost instantly..
You look up, hearing whispers.
"y-y/n.. please.. come back.. reset or something, please.."
You listen to his words..
Reset? How?
You try to grab onto him, your hand just phases through. All you can do is watch and listen.
"papyrus, anything?"
Desperation leaks out of Sans' voice.
Papyrus looks down, despair fills his eyes. No longer being his goofy self. It pains you to see it.
"N-No. Sorry Brother, Nothing Seems To Be Working... Most Of Their Wounds Have Healed But...It's Not Enough..."
More tears fall down your face.
"buttercup.. please don't leave.."
You want to go back.
You hope you can go back..
You need to go back.
. . .
You have faith.
A small laugh interrups your thoughts.
You turn, making eye contact with a familiar figure. The familiar green and yellow sweater.
In front of them lies a brightly lit button.
'Reset'
The child smiles
"Greetings. It appears you have met your fate... This will allow you to wake up where you lie. No time before. You will now gain access to it through me."
The child spoke, sounding almost innocent.
Ignoring their words for a second you ask.
"Who are you?"
The child hesitates
"I am Chara, surprised that comedian hasn't told you about me."
They spoke almost laughing.
Your face still painted with curiosity
"As you know, Frisk was meant to fall down here, I was then connected to their soul, no matter how many resets... Then. They died. My spirit would've died too, if it wasn't for you."
You look at them, hopeful that what they spoke was true.
You hesitate, deciding to trust them. You lift your hand and lightly touch the button.
Chara smiles
"Pleasure doing business with you, partner."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You wake up in a cold sweat.
You clutch onto your chest.
Your eyes light up as they look around the room.
I.. I'm back..
You stare at the skeletons in front of you.
You open your mouth to speak.
You were suddenly in a skeletons arms. Still hearing sobs, you fix your gace at the skeleton.
"y-you're okay! oh my god. you're alright, you're alright.. heh...i thought you.."
Tears began to fall from your eyes. You clutch onto Sans. Sobbing loudly into his jacket. The smell of ketchup comforts you.

You look up to see Papyrus smiling, tears forming along his eye sockets.
You slowly let go of Sans, waiting for his acceptance.
He hesitates, gripping onto your shirt. You look at his dim lights, patiently...
He slowly loosens his grip, soon he's just holding your sleeve.
You got up, ebracing the tall skeleton in a hug.
"I missed you... Both of you.."
You're suddenly lifted off the ground into a strong hug.
"HUMAN! I AM SO HAPPY YOU ARE ALRIGHT! PLEASE DO NOT JUMP DOWN WATERFALLS ANY LONGER!"
You look at him confused, before saying anything you turn to Sans. Whose eyes have darkened.
He must've told Paps a lie to not worry him too much..
You look back at Papyrus.
"Yeah, sorry I won't do it anymore."
Papyrus puts you down, his face back to his gleaming self.
"NYEH! I WILL MAKE SPAGHETTI TO CELEBRATE!"
He yells as he runs to the kitchen. You giggle. Suddenly feeling a tug on your sleeve.
"can we talk..? in private..?"
You give a silent nod as you found yourself surrounded in blue, then in his room.
You sit down on the mattress, Sans follows behind.
