Can I Stay? (Underswap!Sans × Reader)

[10] My World

"That's not what-"

"HUMAN! I HAVE FINISHED THE QUICHE, HERE YOU ARE."

I smiled gently and took the plate where an unappetizing quiche laid.

"Thanks, Sans."

"NO PROBLEM HUMAN!"

I glance over to Paps, he had his head resting on his hands watching me, closely might I add.

I took the fork into my hand and cut a bit of the quiche for a small bite-size piece. I brought it to my mouth and as crazy as it seems it was good...
But of course, my taste buds might be fried thanks to all the blood pies Toriel made, I shivered at the memories.

"This is really great Sans."

Paps looked at me like I was either crazy or that I was the best liar that ever lived.

"REALLY?! I MEAN OF COURSE IT IS, AFTER ALL, I MASTER CHEF SANS MADE IT."

I laughed lightly and looked down at the quiche, thinking.

I needed to talk to Paps alone, I need to find out my next move... Oh, I know!

I quickly finish my quiche.

"That really was great! My throat is feeling a little dry." I pause looking over to Paps to take the hint. "Why don't we go to Grill- I mean Muffet's to get some... honey... how about it?"

"How do you know-"

"I TOLD HER OF COURSE, SHE SEEMED TO THINK YOU LIKING HONEY WAS CUTE. BUT DON'T WORRY I TOLD HER YOU ARE COOL, NOT CUTE."

Paps was looking at me, but I refused to make eye contact. It's embarrassing telling someone you called them cute, even if you don't like them romantically.

"...Y-yeah. Anyway, we have a lot to talk about so let's get going Papyrus."

"Sure kiddo."

"WAIT, YOU DIDN'T TELL ME ALL ABOUT YOU."

"Hehe, m-maybe another time Sans." I let out an awkward laugh.

"PROMISE?"

I kind of just froze, I-i couldn't promise that.

"I...-its..."

"Don't worry about it Sans, let's get going (y/n)." Paps cut in casually.

"R-right."

I got up with more ease this time, my leg was in almost no pain now. I thanked Sans once again and walked out the door with Paps.

As soon as we left the house I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.

"T-thanks, Papyrus."

"No problem, I know what it's like not wanting to keep or make a promise," Paps said this with almost anger and started to walk towards Muffet's, I followed.

"Yeah... it's not that I'm trying to really hide who I really am... it's just I don't think Sans would believe me... and worst if he does..." My words slowly fell flat.

"What's so bad about him believing you? Don't you want me to?" Paps said that with black eyes looking away from me.

I grabbed Paps' jacket to make him stop and look at me. "Yes! Of course, I want you to believe me... but I don't think Sans can handle what I'm going to tell you." I looked down as I finished my thought. "I would hate myself if he started comparing himself and started to blame himself for something he didn't do."
