Stuck in Between (Reaper!Sans X Reader)

~Chapter 4~

The bird quickly took a liking to you and Frisk as you explored the ruins. Even after the granola bar was gone, the small animal remained perched on your shoulder, cawing happily as you spoke with Frisk. You let it remain, not bothered by the feathery passenger. Frisk didn't seem to mind the newcomer either.

Soon you arrived at the front of a cozy looking home. Around front there was a tree and bushes of golden blooms. A familiar sense of welcome calm filled you and vague memories returned, just out of your reach of truly knowing.

"Based on the fuzzy feels, I'm guessing this is goat mama's house." You chirped.

Frisk smiled and nodded. "At least your getting the basics." He mused.

You elbowed him playfully and giggled. "I didn't loose all my memories. I know the basics, I just have to glance it before they come back. It's actual events I don't remember. You'll find out more once we get to Sans."

Frisk rolled his eyes and you giggled, ruffling his hair. Toriel opened the door and scanned the yard, quickly finding us. "Oh! Hello my children. I apologize for leaving you, the business was urgent. Please come in! I'll show you to your room."

You smiled sweetly and followed her, Frisk following close after you. Toriel glanced at your bird, but didn't seem to mind your new pet. You walked through the house, feeling safe within the warm yellow walls. Toriel opened a door and you looked inside to find a child's room. Two twin-sized beds were parallel on the two sides of the room. A wardrobe was pressed against the back wall and some old drawings were stuck to the wall. You examined the room as Frisk ran past you and dive - bombed into the closest quilted bed. Both you and Toriel giggled as you watched him wiggle underneath covers.

"You two should rest." Toriel cooed gently. Frisk nodded happily and shrank deeper into the covers. You followed in suit, seating yourself on the other bed. Toriel smiled at you and left, closing the door behind her. A crystal acted as a nightlight within the room and you looked over at Frisk.

"So do we go to sleep?" You asked.

"I always do! These beds are by far the comfiest, and it rejuvenates you!" He chirped.

You looked at your bed and shrugged. Kicking off the shoe you wore, you pressed your back into the bed and gazed at the ceiling. The crow on your shoulder flitted to the end of the bed and cawed. You could hear as Frisk groaned.

"You better not caw all night... uh.... what's its name?" He asked.

You looked at the bird and thought a few moments. "How about Pluto?" You suggested.

The crow seemed to shake its head as Frisk giggled. "Pluto? Like the dog from Mickey Mouse?"

You rolled your eyes and sent a look towards Frisk. "No you uncultured swine. I'm talking about the Roman god of the Underworld."

Frisk giggled again and looked at the bird. "If your looking for ancient names, what about Hades then? Isn't that the Greek version of Pluto?"

The crow bounced around and you smiled. "He likes it." You whooped.

Frisk grinned and rolled on his side. "Goodnight (Y/N). Goodnight Hades."

"Goodnight Frisk." You cooed, accompanied Hades' quiet caw.

You folded your hands and rolled to your side, letting the hands of sleep pull your body into a not so peaceful slumber.

You walked through the woods, the only sound being your feet crunching the snow and your quiet breaths. A numb feeling filled you as you walked alone. Everything around you felt off. Buildings surrounded you but you saw no one. A strange dust fell with the snow. It felt familiar in the worst way. You walked slowly until heavy snow blinded you. Your legs still and you squinted into the curtain of frozen vapor. The sillouhette of a skeleton, tall and armored, appeared before you. He skull was long and narrow, a smile spreading over his face. On his body he wore armor like clothes with high red boots, gloves and a scarf to match.
