Frisk's Determination

Core

     Rain could be heard, pattering on the ceiling of the underground and the sounds of monsters, bustling around. Sans stood outside the MTT Resort, thinking....waiting. Flashes of the kid's smile past through his mind.

     Kid, you're really something else aren't you?

     His phone started to ring, waking him up from his daze. "sup, bro."

"SANS, WHERE ARE YOU?"

"I'm at the resort, why?"

"ONE OF YOUR MANY JOBS I PRESUME?"

"yup, it's a rib tickler of a gig."

"SANS!" He chuckled at his brother's raging through the phone.

"was there a reason you wanted to chat?"

"ACTUALLY YES! I JUST WANTED TO INFORM YOU THAT THE HUMAN IS HEADING TOWARDS THE RESORT." Sans was shocked to hear this. So many questions started running through his mind. Did the kid ever sleep? How did they get here so fast? Why are they so eager to leave? Aren't they enjoying their stay? From what he saw last time he checked, they seemed happy. "BROTHER? ARE YOU THERE?"

"w-what? Oh, uh sorry paps. kinda drifted off. how do you know that the kid was coming here?"

"BUT OF COURSE I KNOW WHERE THE HUMAN IS! FOR ONE, I AM THEIR BEST AND COOLEST OF FRIENDS, AND TWO, UNDYNE AND I HAVE BEEN HELPING THE HUMAN OUT-"

"Yeah! We've been BUSTING UP the punk's phone all DAY!"

"paps, is it me or did your voice get a little 'fishy'?"

"SHUT IT you dweeb! Alphys is helping the kid reach the core like a boss!"

"YOU ONLY KNOW THAT BEACUSE YOU KEEP LOOKING OVER MY SHOULDERS WHEN I'M ON MY PHONE!" Even when he's not the one holding the phone, Sans can still hear him loud and clear.

"Come on you goofball, come here!" He smiled at hearing his brother being suplexed over the phone by Undyne. Hanging up, he looked at the ceiling of the underground. He was glad, that something new was happening in his life, but hearing the rain from the outside world had always sadden him. It was a world he was never going to see. Prying his gaze away, he hung his head. He let out a sigh, he felt so conflicted. He still desired to leave, but more then anything, he wouldn't mind staying if that ment that the kid stayed as well. His brother became fond of them and if they were to leave.... let's just say he wasn't looking forward in counseling him afterwards.

"heh, kid...what are you doing to everyone?" He whispered to no one. Undyne seemed more relax, Dr. Alphys isn't obsessing over those cartoons as much, and his brother....finally met someone who saw how great he really is. Just then, he heard sounds of footsteps. Looking up, he saw that it was the kid. His soul dropped at seeing their smile. Trying his best to keep his own smile from dropping, he watched as the kid ran towards him. "hey,"

'Hi'

"i heard you're going to the core." They nodded their head. He sighed. He kinda wished that they were just gonna check out the resort. "how about grabbing some dinner with me first?" The kid smiled softly at him, nodding their head yes. "great, thanks for treating me." They covered their mouth, hiding their smile. As Sans started to walk away from the resort, the kid became confused.

'Sans?'

"over here. i know a shortcut." The kid followed Sans as he walked towards the ally beside the resort. Grabbing the kid's hand at the last second, he used one of his 'shortcuts' to get into the restaurant of the resort. "well, here we are." Sans motioned to the chairs in front of them, signaling them to sit. As the kid sat down, he grabbed a chair as well. Sans gazed at the kid's face as they surveyed their new surroundings. Behind all their curiosity and wonder, he could see that the kid has been through a lot of hardship. Looking at the wears under their eyes, indicating their lack of sleep, maybe their worries... their pain.
