Resets (Sans X Reader)

Chapter 6 ~ Resets

                    You unlocked the window for the second time with ease. You hurled yourself through the window, and went off sprinting across the yard. Throughout the darkness you ran, the only light being from the lampposts that glinted across your pale skin.  You raced around the trees, and hurdling over rocks and large twigs, you tripped over one and skinned your knee in the process, but you were to determined to keep moving. You stopped when the frigid white substance touched the tip of your toe. You looked down at the snow full of thought. You didn't know where to find his house. You had no idea where those chilling skeletons were in all this snowy mess. Last you remembered they'd been on the top of the mountain. You looked up, it was a long ways to walk, especially considering how you handled the cold, you weren't sure you'd  be able to make it. You let out a long, drawn out sigh as you made your first foot into the snow. As it crunched eerily into the silence, a familiar cold hand snatched yours. You turned around and looked at him happily. "S-Sans!" you smiled, already stuttering from the cold. You hugged him quickly, but immediately let go, remembering your older situation, you were sure the feeling still rested somewhere though. "How did you find me?" you tilted your head. "Magic." he waved his hands around and it seemed little electric blue sparkles hung around them. "Now c'mon we gotta go." he looked up at the mountain. "H-how are we gonna get a-all the way up there?" you gazed up with him. "Well, trust me on this one." he shrugged looking at you, facing away from the tip of the freezing snow. His hand extended towards you. You looked at him for a second before gazing up at the rocky white mountain, then glancing at his hand. You took it shakily. You looked up at his face, he was grinning. He pulled you towards him, and the world seemed to phase past you. You were at his house within seconds.

                     "Wha....WHAT THE ACTUAL FUDGE?" your pulled your hand away, and placed both of them on your face and gripped your skin. "What just happened?" you ask as calmly as possible. Sans chuckled. "Maaagggiiiiccccc." this time he used jazz hands. You both walked in. "Sans, who is this?" Papyrus gestured to you. "Hi Papyr- I mean hello tall skeleton are you that super rad brother Sans told me about?" he smiled along with his brother. "Sure is, this is (Y/n)." Sans placed his bony hand on your shoulder. "Yay! Another human, you must meet our other human friend (Y/n)! They are very nice." He beamed. You nodded. "Perhaps later?" you looked at Sans, he nodded. "Well uh...bye." you shrugged. Papyrus tilted his head and hummed in a confused manor before both you and his punny brother raced up the stairs and into his room, Sans locked the door behind you. It was the same room it had always been, you glanced at the garbagenado and smiled a bit when you realized the little piece of lint you'd thrown into it that one day, and wondered how it was still there, past about four timelines. "So guessing how you returned, you either had no where left to run, or you aren't the one that reset." he looked at you, the worry vivid in his eyes. "Sans...I..I didn't reset." you looked back at him, the worry consuming you as you said it. He nodded, sliding down the door the same way you had, you went and sat beside him. "What do we do?" you asked. "Well first we need a place to meet if it happens again." he responded thoughtfully. "The ledge," you suggested, "I know how to get there without braking a leg or freezing myself over." you looked at your knee, which was now coated in dried blood. He nodded. "Good enough, we should speak with Frisk." you knew Frisk. Frisk was the other human child they knew. Toriel played as a bit of their mother, taking care of Frisk. You'd only met them once though. "Why Frisk?" you questioned. "Frisk has had their experiences with 'resets'. They have also tampered with them just the same, they haven't done that in so long though." Sans explained thoroughly. You looked over at him. "Do you think they did it?" You asked tilting your head at the thought, Frisk was far too nice. "No, but they might know who did." you nodded. "Well where would we find them?" you asked, looking away from him. He stood up. "I'll be back." he seemed to back into the wall, tearing away from reality itself. Electric blue particles drifted to the floor slowly, brushing through the wind like paper. You watched wide eyed, but as the third particle hit the floor, the world surrounding you started to shrivel and burn at the edges, until it was all gone, and you fell back through the darkness until you hit the mattress of your bed, and your room jerked out of the nothingness. You breathed heavily before stopping and sighing once more. You pulled yourself up, prepared to do it again. This time you knew where you were going though. You clicked open the window and ran through the streets again. The light flickered this time. It was spooky, but you passed right through. You raced back to the mouth of the cave.

                    You stared inside. Sans and Frisk were waiting patiently for you, sitting with their feet dangling into the abyss of the underworld. You walked up to them, and sat down next to Frisk. "So, we got anything?" Frisk looked up in confusion. "Sorry (Y/n), we just arrived." He went on to explain to the young child what the problem was. They nodded then started doing sign language. You couldn't decipher the words, you'd never learned to so you just stared at them. Sans looked up. "They said they know who's doing it." I looked at them wide eyed. Frisk stood up and looked at the two of us then at the hole in between us. They sighed and I saw a tear run down their cheek. They opened their mouth and their voice was bleak. It cracked and was so hard to hear. Their words seemed to be devoured by the darkness but you understood it so thoroughly. "I miss mom." they whimpered facing us before falling back into the endless sinkhole. Sans reached for them but they kept falling. Their hair drifted through the air as time seemed to slow. You called out for them almost wanting to jump in after them. Their body hit the ground with an unsettling thud. It was the kind of noise that only a body hitting the floor could make, the kind when you knew they died. You stared it astonishment as you watched Frisk's body go limp and fade as their heart shattered. It all began to fade again but right before you were sucked in, you saw the scrabbled pieces of the heart seem to pull back together. You ended up back in bed knowing Frisk would be back. You were so scared. You inhaled and exhaled once quickly, repeating the process again. This time, the light wouldn't turn on at all. It made the whole thing scarier, but you moved on. 

                    You looked into the cave. No one was there. "Guess they aren't here yet." You said surprised approaching the hole. You looked down and gasped with fear. Sans laid at the bottom, the dead flowers pulling around at his bones. He looked up at you and smiled bleakly. A visible crack was seen in his skull, and ran down from the top and into the corner of his nose, it pulled close to his left eye, but didn't meet it. Your hands, shaken covered your mouth. "(Y/N)!" He shouted as loud as he could for you to hear him. "D-dont jump! I'll be fine o-okay?" he said this, but his body was already seeming to fade. "Just go...stop..." his voice faded into the darkness of yet another reset. You pulled down onto your knees and started crying. You looked up, you were under the lamppost. Or at least what was left of it. It had been broken near the middle, and it lay across the street and sent a car into cascades of metal pieces. You got up and looked around you, the town itself was a mess. The sky was an eerie grey, indicating mornings come. Who did you need to stop? Was there really a point anymore? You didn't know. Not now. Not ever.
