You trudge grumpily across the rocky floor of waterfall and begin to slip into the thick cold white sheets of Snowdin town. You went out to visit Alphys, she'd been wanting to do a test on you for ages now, and even though you hated the idea of it, you hesitantly gave in to the constant shy hints she always gave you. Besides the point, you were covered in scars, scratches, pin pricks and some of your fur was clotted with blood (you are a human/wolf hybrid).
As you walk further into the ice cold air of Snowdin, you begin to get colder and colder by the second, the scars have now clotted up and almost completely due to the weather. Originally you were just going to go home, but due to the current circumstances, you decide to treat yourself to grillby's - at least it's warm there.
You reach the front door and push it open with slight force, everyone greets you as you walk in saying your name in chorus followed by the odd "are you ok you look terrible" or "hope you're doing alright (y/n), heard alph gave you a rough time" you reply back with a weary and unconvincing smile, and reassure everyone it's nothing, just a few scratches.
You slump across to your usual seat at the bar, checking for another one of sans' embarrassing whooping cushions, looks safe enough, you sit down and grillby glides towards you, the usual magical trail of fire flickering slowly from behind him as he walks towards the counter, "I'll have the usual grillby" you smile and place $5.00 onto the counter as grillby picks it up carefully and walks off into the kitchen.
"Jesus (y/n)....I heard Alphys was doing the test today but I didn't realise it would be this bad...Are you ok?!"
You turn around to see the usual smiling face from the pub door, as usual in his blue jacket and shorts.
"I'm fine sans, really it was nothing" you exclaim tiredly, suppressing a yawn between sentences "I'm used to it now, the blood and the fighting, I mean I didn't fight alph but... Ugh you get what I mean".
Grillby comes forward and places your food on the table, you thank him as sans sits down next to you. "So, what was the test for?" Asked sans with a slightly worried tone in his voice, you fiddled around with your fork for a minute before sighing "ya know, the usual really, she wanted to check out the mutated blood cells and stuff, but who am I to judge" you say with a hint of anger in your voice "aww don't sweat it kid, I'm sure she won't need to do it again" exclaimed sans, his tone a little brighter than before. "Kid?" You joke with him "sans we're practically the same age" you let out a chuckle "ah yeah sure, but I'm older so it works, kiddo" said sans sarcastically, but still with that happiness in his tone.
"Anyway" he says as you finish your food "maybe you should stay over with me and papyrus tonight, ya know, just so someone can keep an eye-socket out for ya", you consider your options for a moment, and agree. You and sans head out of grillby's and towards his place.
As you enter the skeletons abode, a waft of warm air hits you once again, along with a small drift of burnt spaghetti. You'd been to their house before, after all, you and sans were best friends, and papyrus was a cool person to hang out with, despite his constant and terrible cooking.
"OH HELLO SANS" Shouted papyrus from the other room "hey bro" said sans as papyrus poked his head through the doorway "OH, HELLO (y/n) HOW NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN, BUT WAIT, YOU LOOK AWFUL, WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO DEFROST SOME SPAGHETTI FOR YOU?" Exclaimed papyrus, you politely turn down his offer and begin to walk over to the couch, the usual rubbish blasting on the tv like "cooking with a killer robot" and "Romeo and Juliet, re-written" you sit down on the green sofa and look over at the brothers who are for some strange reason, watching you intently.
"Anyway" said sans, averting his eyes to his brother "is it alright if (y/n) stays the night, she'll sleep on the couch, I just feel like we need to keep an eye on her tonight" he said, a bit more fear in his tone. "WHY OF COURSE BROTHER, THE GREAT PAPYRUS WILL LET ANYONE STAY THE NIGHT , ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO ARE INJURED" exclaimed papyrus, his smile spreading wider across his face "heh, thanks bro, you're the coolest" "I KNOW" said papyrus happily as he walked back into the kitchen humming to himself.
