Sans brought Sam to work via the shortcut. It really didn't bother the necro as much as it did most. He didn't really ask why. He assumed it was because he was already supposed to be dead. "hey, sam? will you be ok with the taxi home today? i kinda forgot... i had plans to watch anime with al and undyne at the lab." Sam gave a chill shrug. "No problems here, bro." Sam replied as he gave Sans a wave and headed inside. "... what's Annie-May?" He asked himself Before his boss could ask, Sam was explaining himself. "It's illusion magic. I can make myself look human, but I don't have the best grip on it yet. I'll be looking like this for a day or two longer. Is that ok?" His boss nodded anxiously before she came up to inspect him closer. "Cairo... you were shot. I know my vision ain't what it used to be, but I saw it. Are ya sure you're ok to work, young man..?" Sam gave her a gentle smile, one that reassured civilians that everything would be alright and he had things under control. "Don't worry, you're pretty little head, I'm just fine." The elder flushed and mumbled about him being far too young for an old hag like her. Sam begged to disagree, but as long as the boss was happy, he wasn't gonna argue.
⚔️⚔️⚔️
Sam kept an eye on his boss throughout the day. The old lady had been through a lot the other day. He knew that she was watching too. Assessing him with her squinted eyes and making sure he was actually ok to work. Sam took it easy for her sake. He didn't need to have the lady to have a heart attack or something because he was working himself to the bone after getting shot. "Hey, Annie? Tell me about your husband?" If there was one thing he knew about the boss? She loved to rave about her family. She had every reason to, her husband had served and gotten a successful job after, they had lots of kids and grandkids to boot who were all doing well. "Oh? Of course! We met before he was deployed to Vietnam- you probably don't know about 'Nam or any of the wars since you were under that mountain- but we met at a diner, I was working and he came in with his war buddies. Said he locked eyes with me and knew then and there he was gonna marry me..."
⚔️⚔️⚔️
Sam learned a lot about his boss and her husband throughout his shift. When they got married, had their first child, when they opened the pawn shop together so she could keep busy, and even when he passed on to the other side. Sam hoped that they would meet him someday and hear his side of the tale. It was always nice to get different perspectives. Sam went home and took a shower before making dinner for himself since he thought he was going to be alone. Then the door to the front was kicked in and Undyne hollered as Sam summoned a blaster to defend himself with. "woah- woah, sam! it's just us!" Sans dangled in Undyne's arms with Alphys while Papyrus had Frisk on his back. "You said you were gonna be elsewhere- do you know how close I came to incinerating you?!" Sam desommoned his blaster swiftly went to get a shirt on so he wouldn't seem indecent to these monsters. "Why the hell is there a human in your house? And how the hell does he have Papyrus special attack?!" Undyne demanded.
