The Things We Hide

Chaper 5: Try To Hide It

Aftermath of last chapter:

Not much happened after he passed out. He woke up In his bed. His sweater still zipped up, all his clothes from yesterday still on.

*about two weeks later*

"SANS, ITS TIME FOR WORK. WHY ARENT YOU DRESSED YET?"
Papyrus was at his door, and walked to Sans' bed. The smaller skeleton snoozing on

"SANS. WAKE UP."

"Mmph..."
Sans didn't have the energy to deal with this, so he tried to snooze on.

"SANS! GET UP!"

"Ugh..."
That's all sans could manage before he made a mad dash to the bathroom, locking the door behind him.

"SANS..?"

The shorter skeleton, hugging the toilet, was heaving, vertigo loomed In Sans, causing him to have a weird sensation.

There was a knock at the door.

"SHOULD I CALL UNDYNE TO TELL HER YOUR SICK? IM WORRIED FOR YOU BROTHER.."

No response, until 3 minutes later.

"SANS?"

"S-sure bro.. whatever you want.."

'God, I wish I could go through this without the morning sickness. Then Papyrus would definitely find out. I gotta hide it, somehow.'
Thoughts floated around Sans' head, as the sound of the phone ringing filled the silence.

Muffled words could be heard through the door.

"HEY, UNDYNE, YOU MIND GIVING SANS A FEW DAYS OFF?"
Sans could hear the loud fish lady's voice on the other line. Just barely

"..why?"

"BECAUSE HES GETTING SICK. AND IM WORRIED FOR HIM"

"What's the symptoms?"

"WELL, HE STARTED THROWING UP, AND HE LOOKS PRETTY PALE. I DONT EVEN KNOW HOW!"

"......"

Silence rang on the other end of the line.

"I'll call Alphys to check up on him. He can have a couple days off. If he needs to."

"OK.."

Sans sighed. 'Hopefully he won't be around when this happens.'

Sans heard his door shut, and footsteps leading downstairs.

"ILL SEE YOU LATER SANS. STAY HERE!"

The front door shut.

Sans left the bathroom, and crawled back into bed for another two hours or so, before hearing another knock at the door.

"Strange, I don't remember inviting anyone." Sans didn't hear the part about Undyne sending Alphys to check up on san, so he was oblivious to whom it was.

Sans walked downstairs, opening the door.

"H-hi S-sans."

Sans was caught off guard seeing Alphys at the door.

"U-uh.. Undyne told me to g-go check on you, see if e-everything was o-ok..."
Alphys stuttered nervously

'Great. Of course Undyne would do that.'

"Come in." Were the only two words sans could manage through his trainwreck of jumbled thoughts

Alphys did as told, bringing her medical kit along with her.

"S-so.. what h-happened?"

Sans looked down, knowing Undyne would be mad if he didn't tell Alphys what was wrong.

"I uh, got a little nausea. Pap said I looked pale. I dunno.."
Beads of sweat started forming on Sans' brow, the small soul, sensing his nervousness, and pulsed in confusion.

"O-ok.. that's seems impossible for a skeleton, though.. u-um.. I.. think I might need to e-examine you, is that o-ok?"

"Examine? Like how?"

"W-we might need to look at your b-bones.. to see i-if there's anything wrong. J-just the upper part though. I-it won't t-take l-long I p-promise."

'Shoot.'
That's all sans could think
'ShootShootShootShootShootShootShootShoot.'

"......ok....."
