Chapter 1 - Promises

| Sans P.O.V |

I let out yawn and got out of bed. "time to get breakfast, I guess.." I said sleepily. I opened the door to my room and walked out. I made my way down the stairs and into the kitchen, the kitchen where Papyrus was every morning. I feel disgusting for having these feelings for him, but I just can't help it. It never happened in any previous resets, so I don't know what it is about this one. I just hope the kiddo that fell this time isn't a bloodthirsty killer. Or else, well.. They're gonna have a bad time.. But that's off topic. I should probably see what Paps is makin'. Probably more of his breakfast spaghetti. It's basically just leftover spaghetti covered in butter and syrup. I never eat it, due to it actually being inedible, but I don't want to hurt his feelings so I always come up with an excuse and then head to Grillby's. "GOOD MORNING BROTHER! I, MASTER CHEF PAPYRUS, HAVE MADE SOME OF MY INFAMOUS BRRAKFAST SPAGHETTI!" Papyrus stated confidently. I love how he's so confident about everything he does. His determination is what keeps him going in life. He is the only thing in this cruel world that keeps me from giving up. Those genocide runs really made me overprotective of him. In the last reset, seeing his scarf and dust on the ground made me realize something. It made me realize that I could've prevented that from happening, that I CAN prevent that from happening. If I make sure he doesn't confront the human, he won't die. And, as much as I hate doing this, I promise myself that I will keep Pap safe. No matter what I have to do, I will protect him. No matter what. "Brother? Your tearing up a bit, are you okay..?" Pap asked. When he's worried he speaks quieter than usual. I wiped the tears away and replied with a simple "i'm fine bro." I grabbed my jacket and headed out the door. Pap was gonna say something, but I left before he could finish.

Sans is always running off when I try to talk to him. He doesn't even make terrible puns anymore! I mean, that's a good thing, but it's what he always does! What did I do? Did someone else make him like this? I don't know, but it's been troubling me for a while now. Once he returns from wherever it is he went I shall ask him, being the good brother that I am of course! I shall make sure all his worries go away! I won't stand to let my dear brother be troubled! I love him too much to see him like this. It's unbearable! But I, The Great Papyrus, shall make sure he is back to his old self by the end of the day! I promise..

I decided to grab something from Grillby's. I always go there when I'm down in the dumps, you know? It's turned into a home away from home to me. I pushed the door open, a loud ring sounded through the building. Everyone turned they're heads and greeted me as usual. I went and sat at the bar, as usual. "i'll take a bottle of ketchup." I said, as usual. Everything is exactly like it always is, as if the world is on repeat. Or in this case, reset. Heh, its kinda funny when you think about it.. We're all trapped in a loop. An loop that won't stop, a loop that won't end. Our lives will never go forwards. Everyone's oblivious to this. Undyne, Alphys, Asgore, That lady from behind the door, Papyrus.... They never knew that all this was happening, and they never will. We're trapped. We're trapped in this hellhole. The funniest part is that we can do nothing to stop this. All the progress we make, it'll all be reset eventually. I got up off the stool and left Grillby's. What's the point in ever telling Papyrus how I feel? He'll just forget. He probably doesn't feel the same way. Man, am I a disgusting creature.. I headed back home and made my way up to my room, ignoring Papyrus who was trying to tell me something.

| Papyrus' P.O.V |

The front door swung open, revealing a very sad looking Sans. I tried to ask him what's wrong, but he ignored me and headed up to his room. I felt my heart shatter. Is he okay? What happened? I hope he's alright. He's been very un-sans like lately and its getting me worried. I walked up the stairs and stood in front of the door to his room. I knocked gently. "Sans? Are you alright?" I asked worriedly. No response. I knocked again. "Sans? Please answer me!" I asked. Still no response. Tears fell from my eye sockets. I was practically banging on the door by now. "PLEASE SANS! JUST OPEN THE DOOR!" I shouted. I was a crying mess.

| Time Skip |

It's been awhile now. He's been shooting for me to open the door, but I don't think I can even look at him. I don't deserve to look at him. I don't deserve to have such an amazing bro. I don't deserve anything. I don't deserve life. I would've ended my suffering a long time ago, but I know if it resets that I'll be alive again. Wait... The banging stopped. I hear Papyrus from the other side of the door. He's.....crying? "Please.......open up...... Please..." He begged. What have I done? I was so blinded by my rage that I forgot about him. I forgot about the one thing that keeps me going. The one thing I love.  I ran over to the door and opened it up, being greeted by a crying Papyrus. I ran over and hugged him tight. I eventually started crying as well. "i'm sorry bro..." I said. He gave no response. Instead, he hugged me tighter. We sat there for the rest of the day.
