The Secret {Flowerfell} (Version 1)

Chapter 2: Always Together

        Sans laid on the couch lazily, he just couldn't fall asleep, his mind was racing with thoughts about Frisk. He was worried, and wondered if they were ok, cause well...the underground wasn't the most friendly place in the world. Plus Frisk was defenseless and couldn't fight. Sans was thinking of multiple ways that Frisk could be in danger. They could have been murdered in their sleep by someone, or they could of been ambushed by Undyne or Papyrus the next morning or something, or- He shook the thoughts from his head, "No, Frisk isn't that weak, besides, Flowey-uh Asriel is with them", his mind was suddenly drawn to the golden flower, he was thinking about Asriel's past, how he was actually the son of King Asgore and Queen Toriel. He wasn't always a flower, his original form was a small goat, wearing a striped green and yellow shirt. One day Alphys was working on a project, and somehow Asriel got dragged into one of the experiments. Sadly, it had turned him into a flower, everyone thought he had died, and Alphys failed to mention this to anyone. Since then, he had been alone, seperated from his own parents, until....one day, someone finally showed him kindness...it was a fallen human....it was Frisk. The moment Sans met Frisk he thought something about them was....special, he just didn't know why...that is...until now.

        "I remember when I first met Frisk, even after all the times Papyrus and I have killed them....they still showed us mercy, kindness, forgiveness... they refused to fight back, even when we wanted them to". He thought of when he had first started to help Frisk get out of the underground, "We would be with each other side by side, even when they had the choice to leave me...they stayed, till the very end...We were.....always together....in the last....t i m e l i n e......" , Sans slowly drifted away in a peaceful sleep, until he was suddenly woken up by the sound Papyrus entering the house. "SANS! WHAT ARE YOU DOING! GO UPSTAIRS AND SLEEP IN YOUR OWN ROOM!!!", he shouted in a low growl. "I can't", Sans replied drowsily, "AND WHY IS THAT BROTHER?!", Sans hinted a slight smirk, "It's because of the stairs bro, I don't trust them, I think their up to somethin' ", He chuckled, "NGAHHHHHHHHHHH! SANS, I AM SICK AND TIRED OF HEARING YOUR STUPID PUNS!", he fumed with  anger and hatred in his tone. "SAY ONE MORE.....AND YOUR DUST!", Sans stood in shock, taken aback by his brother's sudden mood change. "Wow bro, you seem really pissed, have a bad day or somethin'?",he asked with caution, and a slight tone of annoyance. "NO! I'M JUST SICK AND TIRED OF SEEING YOU EVERYDAY! ALL YOU DO IS SLEEP AND VISIT THAT PATHETIC HUMAN'S GRAVE!!!". Ever since Frisk died, Sans had been too depressed to do his job as a sentry, instead he would laze around, visit the grave, and sleep. Papyrus was irritated of Sans' sudden depression, but he still gave his brother his privacy. "Ugh, fine ok, I'll start work tomorrow, just stop being so salty bro", he replied with bitterness in his voice. Papyrus raised his non-existent eyebrow, "REALLY? WHY THE SUDDEN CHANGE OF MIND? HAVE YOU FINALLY PUT THAT PESKY HUMAN'S DEATH BEHIDE YOU?!", that one sentenced really set off Sans, but he hid it well, and kept his cool. "Uh sure, you could say that, whelp I'm going to bed, don't bother me", and with that, he left into his room.

         He laid on his bed in silence, he was thinking about if he should even go to sleep tonight. When Frisk died (shocker...it's always because of Frisk's death), Sans had suffered from insomnia, he would have a hard time falling asleep, and when he somehow did, he would have terrible nightmares about Frisk, which would cause him to summon gaster blasters in his sleep. One time, he nearly destroyed the house, if it weren't for Papyrus waking him up. "Well, Frisk is back...so I guess it wouldn't hurt to try to fall asleep", and just like that, he fell into a quiet, peaceful slumber....And no, he did not blow up the house the following morning.                                                                                                                                                  The next day Sans woke up to the nice sound of snow blowing through the wind outside, for the first time in like a year or two, Sans had finally been able to get a good night's rest, it was refreshing, he felt way better, a lot better than how he normally felt anyways. "Welp I better go get Frisk", he thought as he dressed and went downstairs to see Papyrus waiting in the living room with his arms crossed, he had the same expression he always wore, the expression of someone who hated everything. As soon as Papyrus saw Sans he gave him a suspicious look, "What?", Sans spat, Papyrus didn't move, "NOTHING, YOU JUST....YOU DON'T NORMALLY WAKE UP THIS EARLY, IT'S 7:30, YOU NORMALLY DON'T WAKE UP UNTIL 1:00!", Sans shrugged,"Well, do you want me to go back and laze around like usual?",he asked. For once Papyrus had nothing to say, so Sans left, leaving his brother with confused and surprised thoughts.

          Frisk waited outside of the inn, while Asriel was comfortably perched on their shoulder, looking around left and right, making sure nothing bad was going on. Asriel sighed, "Frisk I don't know why you chose to wait for him so early, he normally doesn't wake up till noon",he said. "It's ok, even if he doesn't show up early I'm fine waiting out here, I need some fresh air", Frisk replied.Out of nowhere, Sans appeared in front of them, "Sup sweetheart", he smiled. Asriel gave Sans a confused and surprised look, "What?", Sans asked looking at the flower. Asriel turned away, "I-It's nothing, you just, don't normally came out this early...cause of um...your insomnia", Asriel felt rude blurting out about Sans' sleep problem. He placed one hand in his pocket lazily, "Well....I....uh just wanted.....to see Frisk..", he turned away, Asriel couldn't exactly tell, but he thought he could see Sans blushing a bright red. Frisk giggled, "Good morning Sans", they said cheerfully. Sans smiled back "Mornin' Honey", he chuckled. "So...what do you wanna do?", he asked seeing as he had nothing planned for them. "Um..would it be ok if...we could....visit the statue at the waterfall...I...want to listen to it's music again..", they replied. Sans smiled as always, and nodded.

         Of course, Sans would carry Frisk, and Asriel would be wrapped around his arm, on lookout for anything that would be trouble. They made their way to the waterfall, the place where they had first encountered Undyne and where Frisk had first discovered the echo flowers. As they neared the waterfall, they grabbed two umbrellas, one for themselves, and one for the statue. They returned one of the umbrellas to the bin and placed the other one on the statue, which started to play it's peaceful tune from the music box it had inside of it. They had sat around the statue, listening to the beautiful melody it played, it was very relaxing, they all slowly began to fall asleep, as the music continued to play. Frisk was the first to wake up out of the three, and turned to face Sans, he was fast asleep, and he appeared to be mumbling, Frisk strained their ears to get a good sound of what he was saying.He seemed to be mumbling about Frisk, they smiled, they didn't want to wake him up, and they weren't going to leave. Besides, they couldn't stand up or walk without his support, because of the flowers. When Frisk had first fallen down, and died, they had discovered that a flower would bloom somewhere on their body every time their soul was broken in half. The flower would numb them and trying to remove it would leave Frisk in agony, which was frustrating, but to be honest....The flowers were probably what brought Sans and Frisk to be very close....

Thanks for watching! I hope you enjoyed this chapter, I know it might seem boring so far, but trust me, there will be more action starting in the next chapter. So until then, peace! :)
