Addicted (Mafia Sans x Reader)

Chapter 8

Sans's P.O.V 

The kid was pretty shaken up after that dream. Sans had no idea where she had gotten his old sweater from but it sure seemed to make him/her uncomfortable. Sans took the sweater out of his/her hands and threw it onto the bed. He tried to laugh, "come on kid. Do you need some air? I can take you outside in a flash, but you gotta hold on OK?" 

The kid nodded and grabbed onto his arm. There was a moment of confusion and disorientation before they were magically outside, on top of a mountain. "Ha, magic's great isn't it?" The kid nodded. They were looking over the city as the wind calmly surrounded them. It was relaxing. The kid managed to catch their breath and relax a little, still grasping San's arm tightly. 

"You wanna talk about it?" (Y.N) looked uncomfortable again. "You don't have to if you don't want to." It was silent for a long time as the kid looked over the landscape. Sans waited for a response. He kept waiting. "Alright, kid. It's OK-" 

"When monsters die do they turn to dust?" The kid muttered.

Sans was shocked. Did they see that in the nightmare? Is that why they were so scared? "Well... Yeah, they do. Why?" Sans asked.

"I saw it in my dream. I just," they paused, "needed to know." 

"Did you see her?" Sans asked. The kid didn't respond so he continued, "the girl with  rosy cheeks and red eyes?" Slowly they nodded. Sans filled with fear immediately. He knew it. Chara was going to come back and this kid was her new target. "Kid? Do me a favor? If you see her again, in dreams or in reality, tell me right away." 

"S-Sans? Is she r-real?" The kid sounded afraid. 

Sans waited for a minute so he could say his answer correctly. "Kid, I ain't gonna lie. She's real and she's a real threat. But, I'm gonna take care of you OK?"

"Why does she want me, Sans?" (Y.N) questioned.

"Because you have the power of the Echo Tonic." 

Now the kid was really attentive, hanging on his every word. "What did you do to me?" Their voice was stone cold, emotionless. When Sans didn't answer right away, they looked over, their face reflected the voice they had spoken in. "What did you do to me, Sans?!" He/she demanded.

"Kid relax. I had to do it to save you. And it's really not that bad. It's just that, well... Echo Flowers and the serum it's made into, it's magic. You, humans, have what's called 'determination,' and we monsters have magic. Human souls are very strong, though, and when given magic, like the Echo Flower drugs we gave ya, it can absorb it. Doesn't mean you'll gain magical abilities, just that you would now have a stronger soul. Chara wants the most powerful human soul she can possibly find. And before you ask, no. She cannot use a monster soul. They don't have determination. They physically can't, and she needs that power too if she ever wants to become god-like. Now that you've been given the Echo tonic, she'll be after you. But, with that magic in your system, you can put up a damn good fight." The kid nodded, staring at the ground again. "Kid... (Y.N), I'm gonna take good care of you,"He laid a hand on the kids shoulder, "but I can't do that if you don't help me out. I know it's scary, I know it's hard, I know that it might feel impossible to find the will to go on, but I promise ya, that it'll all work out in the end. You're a hell of a lot stronger than she is. She doesn't even have her own body. It died a long time ago. The only thing keeping her here is her determination, and it's running out. So trust me, it'll be OK. Just let me know if you need help. It ain't a weakness to ask for help. Alright?" 

His speech and genuine concern seemed to calm the kid down. He/she trusted his words, not hearing the fear that fueled them. In truth, Sans was scared. Chara had taken Frisk and now she was after (Y.N), and he still didn't know how to stop her. At least he could try. This kid seemed pretty determined to and under the careful watch of the mob, he/she may just be OK. 

"S-Sans?" 

"Yeah kiddo?" he answered.

"In the dream, I had your sweater, and when I woke up I still had it."

"She's moving quickly." Sans said, "we need to get you to the boss." Sans snapped his fingers and they were back in Toriel's house. "We gotta go Tori. We'll have tea later." Before she could respond, he had snapped his fingers again and they were in a hallway. The golden hallway with the beautiful pillars and stained glass windows just before the throne room.

"Sans I don't like it here." Sans didn't hear them. "Sans please, why are we here?" 

"It's the kings room. Let's go." He dragged the kid into the room with golden flowers and a golden throne. In the room, another goat monster stood, dressed in a suit, watering the many flowers across the floor. "Boss we're here." Sans bowed. He then whispered to (Y.N), "bow, and don't say anything about Tori. I mean it." The kid nodded and bowed. 

Asgore, king of the monsters, leader of the monster mafia, turned around with a pleasant smile on his face. "Ah, (Y.N)! Sans has told me all about you."

"With all due respect Mr, Dreemurr, we're racing against the clock. Chara's at it again."
