KITTENS POV

As I poured my heart out to Papyrus, despite my complete horror and humiliation, I told him everything. All that Sans had done and said, including the part where he almost... almost... "..." I winced, my eyes once again drawn to Sans unconscious form. I couldn't bare the sight, and I had to look away.

Papyrus never once looked away from me, never averted his gaze. Other than the occasional nod and hum of thought, he didn't interrupt, didn't speak. He seemed to genuinely care and understand, rubbing my back in small circles as my weakened voice grew quieter and more faint with each passing second. Though... looking into his eyes, which were now thankfully back to normal, I couldn't shake this feeling of uneasiness... this feeling that told me that I was still not safe. Not really.

Once I had finished my tale, making sure to leave no detail untouched or unspoken, I watched as a strange, almost eerie grin spread across the taller Skeletons face. "NYEH HEH... I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN. MY BROTHER COULD NEVER HELP HIMSELF AROUND HUMANS. ESPECIALLY PRETTY GIRLS." He remarked before realizing what he had said, his cheek bones now turning to the color of rose petals. "E-ERM! I MEAN... THAT IS...!"

I couldn't help but smile, giggling softly at his flustered demeanor. Slightly insane or not, he would always be a precious little Cinnamon-Bunny to me. Papyrus gave a sheepish closed-eye smile at my expression, happy to have cheered me up in even the slightest way. "EEH HEH HEH..." He then cleared his throat. "NOW THEN! BACK TO THE MATTER AT HAND, YES?" He once again intertwined his index finger around the silver loop of the collar Sans had crafted in his fit of madness.

HORROR!PAPYRUS' POV

"WELL? DOES IT FEEL ANY... DIFFERENT?" I asked her eagerly. "D-different?" She stammered, then looking down with widened eyes. She noticed at last. "SANS HAD THE RIGHT IDEA, I THINK! NOW WE CAN NEVER LOSE YOU! EVERYONE WILL ALWAYS KNOW WHERE YOU BELONG!" She looked a little pale all of a sudden. Is that normal for humans? Maybe I came off a bit strong...

"D-DON'T WORRY, KIT! WE JUST WANT TO KEEP YOU SAFE... THAT'S ALL..." I began to nervously tap my index fingers together, hoping that I had not upset her. "I-It's okay. I understand. You only want to protect me." She smiled up at me, taking my hand in hers. "Thank you." I felt my cheeks heat up again. "Y-YOU'RE WELCOME!"

It was then that I looked down at Sans. "...HE DIDN'T MEAN TO HURT YOU, KIT... IT WASN'T HIS FAULT..." She curiously tilted her head. "The madness... right?" I nodded solumly. "H-HE HAS A HARD TIME EXPRESSING HIS FEELINGS SOME TIMES. HE TENDS TO GO A BIT OVERBOARD... B-BUT HE MEANS WELL!" I hope.

Sans suddenly began to stir. "Ogh... what hit me?"
