(Sans x Reader) When Two Souls Meet

I Would Give You the Stars

Author's Note 

 After almost 5 months on hiatus, WTSM is back! And just in time for Christmas/the holiday season! This is a gift from me, to all of you. It took me a lot of blood, sweat, and tears to get this thing done... and almost a month of hard work. Writer's block is a hard thing to deal with, lemme tell you. I was originally planning to update on the 8th. XD

But anyway! Here you all go! Thank you all for waiting so patiently. It may be a little bit rough (all that time off made me a bit rusty), but I hope it meets all of your expectations! 

Oh! One thing before I start, though. If you haven't already, I highly suggest you take a look at the oneshot booklet. (You can find that in my other works, obviously.)  There are a lot of chapters in there that I wrote myself, and they're basically chapters of WTSM that I just didn't add in here to conserve its length. If you haven't seen them already, you're missing... eh... a good 100 pages or so of story. While you probably don't HAVE to read it, it'll probably be referenced from here on out. (And who in their right mind would say no to extra Sans fluff?!) 

Now. Without any further ado...

~Sans' Perspective~

So. This is really happening.

I'm lying on my bed, numbly staring up at the ceiling. For the last few hours, thoughts had been chasing themselves through my head one after the other like rabid dogs. It's been a month. I've been dating the girl of my dreams for a whole month now. It... I'm still unsure how to feel about it. I mean, don't get me wrong. It's great! I love her so, so much, and I've been happier this last month than I've ever been. But at the same time... I know it's not gonna last. There's no way that this relationship can last much longer. Something's gonna happen. I know it is. It's just a matter of when. In this world, there's no such thing as a "happy ending." I've been through enough resets, and lived in more than enough timelines to know that.

I'm not allowed to be happy.

But... I'm not just going to throw this away.

(Y/N) deserves more than that.

Even if it's just for her... I'm going to try.

I sigh, my gaze unfocused as I continue to numbly stare up at the white-washed ceiling. It's... been a long time since I last thought about my situation. She's so distracting—it's been a while since I seriously thought about the resets, or thought about the fate of our future. Now though, something's coming that makes it impossible to ignore.

Our first date.

(Y/N) met with the rust bucket the other day about that... uh... "proposition" he offered her. The whole "sing at the resort and I'll pay for your date" thing.

I sigh explosively, my grip tightening around my phone. Its glowing screen casts a ghostly white light into the room around me, making my surroundings seem just as unreal as this situation. I bring the phone up again, dangling it in front of my face as I reread the messages for the umpteenth time.

Me: So, how'd the meeting go? It's over, right? (1 week ago)

BC (Buttercup): Yup. It's all over. Thank goodness. That guy... *Sigh*

Me: Hard, huh?

BC: Well... yeah, I guess. I mean, we struck a deal, and everything's worked out now, but geez. I had to wait a whole hour to actually start talking about it—he wouldn't shut up about how I'd boost his ratings. -_-
