Her (Sans X reader)

"Who's Chara?" I asked after a while.

Sans glared at me, "someone who shouldn't be alive."

"I got that. Don't get mad at me, I had nothing to do with this."

He made a growling noise and quickly turned to look at me. He pointed at me with his bony finger, "you have everything to do with this. Everything was going well! Until you came along, and then she shows up. We just can't get our happy ending, can we?"

"Sans, please don't blame me for this. I don't even remember what happened, I just know bits and pieces. So please, instead of blaming me for everything, help me understand."

Sans sighed and put his hand at his side. "Alright, alright. I'm sorry, I'm just really frustrated about all this. C'mon, I'll explain at my house."

"HUMAN! SANS! DID YOU TWO TALK EVERYTHING OUT?" Papyrus asked once we walked into the house.

"Yeah bro, just some miscommunication. All is well."

"OH. THAT'S GOOD." Papyrus looked at me, "HUMAN. DID I HURT YOUR WRIST TOO MUCH? I DIDN'T MEAN TO."

"I'm fine, Papyrus. Thanks for asking though." Papyrus smiled at me and Sans called my name from halfway up the stairs. "Alright, I'll talk to you later."

In Sans' room, I stood in the doorway as memories ran over me. The first memory was Sans holding me in his arms and throwing me on the bed, yelling 'get dunked on.' The second was me under a pile of blankets with Sans resting his head on my shoulder.

"Why are ya just standin there, kid?"

"Huh?" I asked, then looked up, "sorry, I was remembering something."

"What did you remember?"

I sat on Sans' bed, "well, the first was you holding me and throwing me on your bed, yelling get dunked on, and the second was me under a bunch of blankets with your head on my shoulder."

Sans nodded and looked around. "Yeah, those happened."

I could sense the awkwardness in the room, so I changed the subject. "So, what does it mean to reset?"

Sans sighed, "reset means resetting the game. It means starting everything over. You waking up after falling down here, meeting everyone all over again, everything is the same."

"But it wasn't the same."

He looked at me, "what do you mean?"

"I mean, the yellow flower at the beginning said different things, so did Toriel, and you and Papyrus. It wasn't exactly the same."

"Well, I'm not sure how to answer that. Anyhow, we have to fix this."

"How do we fix it?"

His eye flashed blue and he grinned, "we talk to Chara."

"I have a feeling you're not going to 'just talk,'" I said, following Sans through Waterfall. I don't know how I knew it was Waterfall, but I did.

"Then that feeling is correct. C'mon, I know a shortcut."

"Where are we?" I asked, slowing my pace behind Sans.

He looked back at me, "what does it matter, come on!" He grabbed my arm and tugged it, trying to get me to walk faster.

"Woah, woah. I'm not going anywhere until you tell me what you're planning." I ripped my arm from his grip and planted my feet on the ground.

"Don't be difficult," Sans said, holding his hand out. "C'mon, we have to find her."

"No, tell me what you're going to do."

"Sky, please. I'm just going to talk, I promise."

I sighed and took his hand, "okay."

He smiled at me, "thank you." He led down a narrow hallway that led to a place called Hotland. We walked for what seemed like forever in the blistering heat, and eventually we made it to a place called the Core. We went up all the floors, solved all the puzzles, and eventually made it to a long, yellow hallway.

"Where are we?" I asked.

"I call this," Sans said, walking in front of me and spreading his arms out, "the Judgement Hall."

"Judgement Hall? What does that mean?"

"That means he judges your Level of Violence, or LV for short," a voice said from behind Sans. His eye turned blue and he quickly turned around.

"I figured I'd find you here," he said, snarling.

The girl, Chara, giggled and twirled something in her hand. Sans was blocking it from my sight. "Oh, how smart you are, comedian." She smiled at him, "just like old times, huh?"

Sans chuckled darkly, "yeah, but unlike old times, this time you won't come back."

"I'll believe it when I see it."

Chara got into a defense position and Sans summoned the skull looking things that he said were called Gaster Blasters. The Blasters charged their attack and shot while Sans threw bones. Chara dodged most, but not all.

"You're rusty," Sans commented.

"And you're still the same," Chara replied.

"Sans! You said you were going to just talk!"

Sans chuckled, "yeah, about that. I lied." Sans dodged Chara's attack and hit her again. And again.

She died so many times, and I just stood there and watched. What kind of person was I to just sit there and watch as Sans murdered the same girl over and over? Just when Sans was about to attack again, killing Chara for the tenth time, I intervened. I wasn't about to watch her die again.

I jumped in between the two just as the Blasters shot. Their attack hit me dead on, and I felt instant pain. I gasped and fell to the ground, facing Chara. Her eyes were wide, almost as if she was surprised I did what I did. I heard Sans gasp and felt his bony hands on my back.

"Oh my god, oh my god. Sky, why would you do that?"

"Sans," I tried to say, but I couldn't get another word out.

"Shh, Sky, it's okay. You'll be okay." Sans got in front f me and I could see he had blue tears in his eye sockets.

"No I won't," I mumbled. "You know that."

"Don't think like that," he said, tears spilling over his cheekbones. He turned to Chara and glared at her. "Do something! Reset, please! Just don't let her die."

"I," Chara said, frozen to her spot. "Um, yeah. I'll reset." A yellow button popped up in front of her, and as the edges of my vision turned black, she pressed it.
