"Okay, this is getting ridiculous! How the hell are you doing that?!?"

Alphys feels like her current attitude is very justified, considering she just lost the eighth game in a row, to the same exact monster at that despite four of them playing! She glares at Sans and the deceptively innocent expression on his face. The bastard isn't even bothering to hide his grin, dammit!

"Whatever could you mean, lieutenant? How am I doing what?"

There's a playful tone in her general's voice, and if Alphys didn't have better self-control, she would've tackled him to the floor. Instead, she points an accusing finger to his chest as she leans over the table and all the other monsters back away.

Sans is unphased. Predictable.

"I was impressed at first so I didn't say anything, but how the fuck are you cheating?!?"

Sans forgoes any attempt on an innocent expression, his eyelight shifting into a delighted hollow star for a split second.

"You didn't catch me, so you can't prove it!"

Oh, that's it-

The other monsters immediately scramble to get out of the room (and building, likely) as Alphys lungs at Sans. The skeleton monsters cackles, dodging just out of reach, watching as she rolls for a second before righting herself and getting to her feet.

She flips him off.

Honestly, just a year ago, she wouldn't even dare consider these playful petty fights. Still oh so stary eyed, very aware of her place in life, until one particularly bad day when she snapped at the wrong person and he just laughed in her face and entertained her.

Alphys thinks they're friends? Sort of?

At least, close enough that she can whip her tail into his feet and the old fucking man just jumps over it and sticks his tongue out at her in a childish taunt.

(Stars, she isn't even that much younger than him herself. Or is she older? She isn't sure. Age tends to not matter all that much the older a monster gets, especially with how each species' life span varies.)

"Get back here, grampa!"

Sans is caught off guard by the comment, giving Alphys enough time to swipe at him as he laughs, barely stumbling out of the way of her attack.

"We aren't even that far apart in age!"

Despite the sentence, the general is clearly unoffended. Alphys just rolls her eyes at him, sticking her tongue out at him as she finally backs off.

"This is why I stole the wine bottle you had out last month."

Now Sans looks offended, gaping at her in outrage.

"That was you?!?"

Alphys grins, raising an eyebrow at him, nonverbaly answering his question. His face goes blank for a few seconds, and she feels a sense of foreboding, eyes narrowed as his grin returns.

"I'm telling Undyne about your crush."

It's her turn to gape now, a furious blush on her face as she hurries to tackle the cackling skeleton again.

"Don't you dare, Sans!"

Said monster puts a hand over his grin, a mock shocked lilt to his voice.

"Oh my! Dropped the 'general', did we, Alphys?"

Alphys groans at him.

(She manages to appease him by promising to buy two bottles of the same brand and some of his brothers favourite coffee. Really, the guy is a handful. )

A/N:

I don't think this is really how their relationship in their AU is, but it's a take I enjoy!

Honestly, for all the AU's I don't know much about I just go to the wiki and read whatever’s there, so my knowledge isn't very solid-
