Sans AU One-Shots

Classic || friend.

Pairing: Undertale Sans x Reader
Prompt: You're best friends with Sans, and while doing normal bestie things, you start to realize that maybe you two are closer than that. I mean, everybody in Snowdin thinks you're already together, so why haven't you two gotten together yet?
Type: best friends -> lovers
Length: 4.1k words
Background: You're a human that fell down into the Underground and survived based on pure luck. You don't have the ability to save/reset like Frisk, but Sans isn't so sure he can trust a human...
Notes: I love the idea of Papyrus being able to pick Sans up and carry him around, and since I'm pretty tall and I would totally carry the skele while he napped (if he'd let me), I figured I should combine that idea with the kind of friendship I think I'd have with him. So this is for all my tall children that love puns and joke friendships (& everybody else that wants to imagine being tall and being besties with Sans) <3

You didn't even bother knocking on the door to the skelebros' house since it was practically your honorary home, and at your arrival, Papyrus looked up and waved excitedly. "HELLO (Y/N)!"

"Hey Papy," you replied, also waving. The tall skeleton was in front of some freshly made spaghetti still in the pot with Sans sleeping soundly in his hold. Papyrus used one arm to hold him up while Sans clung to him like a koala. Papyrus was struggling to strain the noodles, so you took Sans from him so he could use both hands. You held Sans like a baby and he rested his head on your shoulder, easily adjusting to your hold and clinging to you tightly.

"Is your spaghetti getting any tastier?" you asked curiously, shifting your weight with Sans in your arms to get a better look at Papyrus' noodles.

"IT IS INDEED! IT IS 'GREAT' JUST LIKE THE GREAT PAPYRUS!" He let out a happy 'Nyeh heh heh' with a finger pointed in the air as you chuckled.

"Nice job, Papy. I'm proud of you." Since Undyne taught him how to, well, put passion into his cooking, you took it upon yourself to teach him how to make it worth eating. Who knew noodles should be cooked all the way through before you took them out of the pot? And 'cooked all the way through' didn't mean burnt to a crisp?

"I INSIST YOU TRY MY GREAT SPAGHETTI!" Papyrus held the plate out to you with a flourish, and you picked up a noodle to throw back. You swayed with Sans in your arms as you chewed - checking to make sure it was cooked thoroughly - then smiled brightly.

"It's almost as great as you!" Papyrus' sockets lit up and he let out a happy noise, before quickly resuming his cool guy act and putting a hand on his battle body self-importantly.

"ONLY THE GREATEST OF PASTA CAN BE PREPARED BY CHEF PAPYRUS!" You admired his bravado, and Sans made a sleepy noise of agreement. You giggled and kissed the skele's forehead, watching his smile widen in his sleep.

"Even Sans knows it's good, and he's sleeping," you joked, flashing Papyrus a grin. Papyrus happily turned to put his spaghetti in tubs to put in the fridge. "I'm gonna stay over tonight, so is there anything in particular you want for supper?" You shifted Sans in your arms so you could open the fridge, then rested your cheek on his skull as you looked through its contents. You made an effort to prepare them food other than spaghetti whenever you stayed over, partially because it felt less like you were being an inconvenience - though both skeletons liked having you around - but partially because they needed something other than spaghetti and ketchup in their diet.

"WHATEVER YOU MAKE WILL BE GREAT! BUT NOT AS GREAT AS THE GREAT PAPYRUS' SPAGHETTI." Papyrus put his hands on his hip bones after putting his spaghetti in the fridge, and you nodded.

"Totally. I can only hope one day to be as great as you, Papy." There wasn't any ketchup in the fridge, so you shut the door. "I'll see you after you're done training with Undyne?"
