Sans quickly ran inside
"TORIEL??" He yelled
But nobody came
Sans made it into her actual house, it seems there was a break in. Sans felt a shiver down his spine when he heard the sweet voice of his friend..
"S-sans?" Toriel squeaked
Sans noticed the voice was coming from under the book case, he clawed at the rubble until he found Toriel
"Tori! What happen???" Sans cupped her cheek with his hand
"Monsters broke in... it happened when you hung up from our last call.."
Sans felt his heart sink
If only he stayed on that phone a bit longer or if he came sooner, he could of helped in some way.
Sans lightly bonked his head agents hers
"Tori... I'm so sorry..."
"Shh.. Sans don't be.... the only thing that matters is you're here now... will you help me up?"
Sans nodded and carefully guided her up
Toriel attempted to make the rest of the way up by her own but one of her legs gave out, she grunted in pain.
"Toriel! H-here let me--" Sans made a bone appear under her arm ( like a walker or whatever)
"Thank you Sans, for always having an 'eye socket' out for me" Toriel giggled hoping to ease the tension. But Sans wasn't (for once) in the mood for jokes
He put his hand on Toriels back as they walked to her table
"Tori what about your healing powers? Can you use that to help out your leg?"
" I cannot use it when I am this weak... I just need to heal up on some health is all... Would you be a dear and grab me an apple slice from the fridge."
Sans sat Toriel down and made his way to the fridge
In it there were all sorts of wacky stuff
Like name brand chocolates for an example.
It made Sans laugh a bit, only Toriel would but chocolate into the fridge.
Another thing that catches his eye was a bottle of ketchup she had. Sans hesitated to grab it, but he knew Toriel wouldn't mind... he'd just have to make sure not to drink it all
Sans grabbed a little bag of apple slices for Toriel, along with the ketchup she had.
Sans trotted back into the dining room, there he saw her sleeping with her head down on the table.
Almost seems like she falls asleep quicker than he does..
Sans looked down to her head. He quietly rapped one of his hands around her horns and rubbed it, not real sure why but it just--- seemed appropriate.
Toriel turned her head towards Sans , he froze, still holding on to her horn.

"Sans?"
Sans felt sweat forming on his skull (even tho he doesn't have sweat glands but what ever)
"Tori... you need to eat these so your HP can go up..."
For what ever reason Sans has yet to let go on her horn
Toriel snorted
"Sans why are you petting me?" She cracked a smile
Sans quickly removed his hand and blushed
" O-oh!! Ummmm??? I don't know??? You just looked so peaceful I just--" Sans broke eye contact with Toriel and began just awkwardly looking around

Toriel chuckled, she rose her head from the table
"Sans you're so cute..."
Sans froze
Yet another genuine complaint
He looked towards Toriel and scratched his skull
"U-uh????? Thanks Tori.... Y-you're pretty cute as well..." Sans actually began shaking from how nervous he was
Toriel smiled once more
Man... that smile... it was his favorite..

"Sans could you hand me those apples? I'd like to heal up a bit.."
"Oh yes!! Of course!!" He handed them over

"Uh Tori?" Sans put his hand over the ketchup bottle and lightly taps the top
"HM?" Toriels mouth was full
"You know you're uh..." he picks up an apple slice and placed it over his eye socket
"The apple of my eye.."
Toriel had to cover her mouth to prevent food spitting out as she laughed
"Oh my God Sans! That is the oldest joke in the book!!" She placed her hand over her mouth
Sans simply admired her as she laughed
Even when she's weak and worn out she's still beautiful....

Sans caught himself starring so he decided to take a swig of that ketchup
After a few moments of silence Sans decided to speak up

"So Tori.. did you get a look at those two monsters hat broke in. Maybe I can find them somewhere in Snowden.."
Tori shook her head
"I don't recall anything... I'm sorry.."
Sans sat up
"It's fine Tori... but until we can figure out WHO those two are, I don't want you staying here by yourself... I want you to come to my place for a while till we can figure this out."
Toriel looks towards Sans
"But Sans.... I can't walk, like I guess I can with this bone but.... wouldn't it be sorta suspicious?"
Sans walked over to Toriel's chair and grabbed her free hand
"I can teleport us.. no one will ever know you left."
Toriel chuckled
"Sans.. you do know what happened last time we teleported from the store...We were both in shock."
"That's because I did it out of panic! This time I'll be aware of what we're doing."
Toriel sighed
"When shall we leave.."
"When ever you're ready...." Sans let go of her hand.
"Alright Sans... let me grab some things then we shall go."
Toriel attempted to get up but Sans lightly pushed her back down
"Tori let me get it... what room is it in.."
Toriel pointed to her room
"It's a little book on my desk"
Sans nodded and went to her room and saw the book, right where Toriel said it would be....
And just--- out of curiosity, Sans opened up the book to a random page...
And there he was met, face to face with

The worlds worst puns
Some didn't even make sense, but it still made him laugh
He turned the page, and he saw his name with little smiley faces around it
Was half of is book a joke book and the other half a diary?
Sans couldn't resist he had to see what it said about him
What he saw surprised him;

Today I met my best friend in person! He's nothing what I expected to be...
And I love it! He's such an inspiration to me and now seeing how full of life he really is makes me want to continue being around him...
He also tried out my pie and he really liked it!! He's actually gonna try making his own!! I'm really excited....

Sans blushed massively
Toriel felt HE was the inspiration to HER
He knew Toriel didn't look down on him, but as far as inspiring her was a huge leap in his eyes...
Sans clutched his chest, that feeling... it was happening again....
Every time Toriel does something like this it makes him feel--- at peace...
Sans has thought about this before... he didn't want to believe it but--- now it feels in avoidable... Sans came to acceptance that he indeed has feelings for-----

"Sans?"
Sans flinched
It was Toriel leaning into the doorway
"Tori!! What are you doing up??" Sans instantly went over to her and gave her support on one of her sides
"I'm sorry Sans... I was worried.. I thought you you fell or-- something.."
Sans chuckled
"You would of heard me if I fell doll..."
Sans froze
Did he just call Toriel doll???
Toriel blushed and laughed
"Well aren't you being sweet today! I should start to call you sweety!" Toriel gave a loving smile
Sans smile back
There was so much he wanted to say to her, so much he wanted to prove..... but there was no time for that, the only thing that matters is getting her off that leg and get her to his house.

"Tori are you ready to go? Anything you need?"
Toriel nodded
"I'm ready..... are you sure this won't end up like last time? Not that I don't trust you just, my leg is in no condition for a rough landing.."
"I understand Tori, I take no offense. I'll give us a soft landing, I already have in my mind where we'll land. Don't worry Tori. I got you."
Toriel let out a soft sigh
"Legs go.."
And on that note Sans held on to Toriel and teleported. They landed right where he estimated, the couch. Of course Toriel was still shook from the suddenness, but she'll get use to it...
Sans laid Toriel down on the couch and got up to find Papyrus
He went into his room and saw him sleeping

"Hey bro... you awake?"
"NYEH... NOW I AM.. WHAT IS IT SANS? WHY ARE YOU STILL AWAKE?"
Sans scratched his skull
"That doesn't matter right now bro... look I--- I brought Toriel over.. she's really hurt, she's lucky to even be alive.. do you know where the bandages are?"
Papyrus sat up in his car bed
"OH YES OF COURSE I DO,IT'S IN THE BATHROOM.. WHAT HAPPENED TO HER? IS SHE ALRIGHT??"
"A couple of monsters broke into the ruins and ransacked the place... she'll be alright as long as we keep an eye on her health."
Papyrus put his hands together and tilted his head
"DO.... DO YOU KNOW WHO DID IT??"
Sans looked to the ground and furrowed his non existent eyebrows
"Don't know yet.... but when I find out I---"
He looked back up to his brother, he was looking some what... frightened...
Sans immediately fixed his posture
"I mean.... I'll just scare them a bit so they... don't do it again I mean..."
Papyrus softened up a bit
"RIGHT... WELL I'M SURE MISS TORIEL IS WAITING FOR YOU TO ASSIST HER! IF YOU TWO NEED ANYTHING, ANYTHING AT ALL!! I'LL BE THERE.."
Sans grinned ((slightly less than normal))
"Thanks bro..."
