Broken Souls

Methods to the Madness: Healing Touch

HORRORSANS POV

After explaining everything to the human... the Underground, Monsters, the Crisis... us ... she seemed to understand it all. She believed every word of it. I half expected her to scream out in terror at the realization that she was being cared for by two half-mad Skeletons, but she didn't.

"I... I don't think I can ever thank you enough, Sans. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be here today." She gave me a small, tearful smile, her expression was one of gratitude. "You saved my life." My eye sockets widened. 'So cute...' I felt my cheekbones heat up with a light dust of blue, and I rubbed the back of my skull sheepishly. "A-ah... hah hah. D-don't mention it, kid. I'm not /snow/ cold as ta leave ya left for dead. Heh heh... an' besides, it was /ice/ t'meetcha!"

I gave a wide grin and a wink, feeling my SOUL flutter with warmth at the sound of her musical laughter. "Heh... guess you like my jokes. At least someone has a funnybone around here, unlike-"

"SAAANS! MY BAD JOKE SENSES WERE TINGLING. WHAT IS GOING ON?" I snickered and the girl gave a tiny squeak of surprise. "Speak of the devil." I remarked, giving her a reassuring grin. "Don't worry. That's just my bro." I explained. "He may be a bit loud and eccentric, but he's nothin' but harmless." She slowly nodded with a nervous gulp. 'Heh... lil thing must be shy.'

Papyrus stretched and yawned before quickly making his way to my side, his eyes widening with joy as he beamed down at the girl. "HUMAN! YOU'RE FINALLY AWAKE! THIS IS SUCH GREAT NEWS!!" He leaned down, nuzzling his skull against hers affectionately. I watched with a lopsided grin as she giggled happily, nuzzling my CinnamonBunny of a brother back, her cheeks tinted red.

"NYEH. NOW THAT YOU ARE FINALLY WITH US, I CAN INTRODUCE MYSELF!" He smiled happily. "I AM THE GREAT PAPYRUS! WHAT IS YOUR TITLE, HUMAN?" That's when my grin faltered. "Uh... 'bout that, Paps..." He turned to face me. "NYEH? WHAT IS IT, SANS?" I leaned my elbow against the bed, propping my head up with one hand, fingers lodged within the hollow of my eye socket out of habit. "Her name. She can't remember her name." I swear his jaw hit the floor. After bending down to retrieve and replace it, he frantically began to look from me to the human. "WHAAAAAT?! HUMAN! Y-YOU DON'T REMEMBER!? B-BUT... " He sat down behind her, carefully pulling her into his lap, minding the injured leg of course. "WHY EVER NOT?"

???'S POV

I found myself blushing lightly at being pulled into the taller skeletons lap, and so gently, too. Looking up at him with an innocent gaze, I gently rubbed the back of my head with a soft whine. "I... I think I hit my head somehow." I explained, squinting my eyes slightly at the stinging sensation. "It really hurts..."
Papyrus pouted and slowly shook his head with a look of concern. "DEAR OH DEAR..." To my surprise, he reached out and began to gently rub my skull with his soft gloved hand, and as he rubbed, it began to glow with a light orange hue. "NYOO... YOU POOR HUMAN! YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH QUITE A LOT, HAVEN'T YOU?"

I slowly nodded, purring slightly against his gentle rubs. What ever sort of magic he was using felt really good, and his glove was really soft. "WELL... THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING WE CAN CALL YOU! WE CANNOT KEEP ADDRESSING YOU AS 'HUMAN' NOW CAN WE?" I had to agree with him there. I was a human, sure, but having a name, or even a nickname would make me feel more comfortable. A title of my very own.

"HMMM... LET ME THINK. WHAT TO CALL YOU... WHAT TO CALL YOU..." He mumbled as he kept up his gentle massage, squinting, tongue sticking out of the side of his mouth, and a try-hard expression on his face. It was rather adorable. I really liked this Skeleton. Continuing to purr against his touch, our brainstorming/petting session was cut short when Sans suddenly spoke up. I had almost forgotten he was even there!

"Heh heh... I know just the name."
