Just A Touch {Gaster!Sans x Reader}

1} The Sandman

I quickly dove into an alley as I hear voices coming from a market I was about to salvage. I took a peek observing a group of people walking within the rubble, seeing they all had the same expression of defeat. There are two men and a woman.

The tallest man rubbed his chin and kick a pile of trash, "Damn it! Nothing. We need to find something soon."

"Or someone to steal from." The other man laughs as he recalled a particular event.

"Yeah! Them damn monsters didn't know what hit them. Gosh, what a rush when their dust danced into the air!"

They laughed fully heartily until the woman spoke up.

"You act all high and mighty, but you are no match against 'The Sandman'."

The tallest man who I assumed was the leader threw an arm around the woman pulling her towards himself giving her a smirk, "Please that wimp? I bet he couldn't get close even if he tried."

I sighed knowing that there was nothing here for me and turn to walk away stupidly hitting an old can in the way.

"What was that?!" The woman was easily startled.

They ran to the alley and I hear the men draw their weapons. My back was still away from them.

"Turn around and revile yourself!" The leader yells to me.

I suppose I should mention I was wearing black skinny jeans, with an (F/C) t-shirt, and a red hoodie and a size too big covering my face almost completely.

I turn around. but didn't move my hood from around my face...

They just be afraid if I did.

"I won't repeat myself! Remove your hood."

My eyes were closed as I pushed the hood from around my head and letting it fall onto my back. I opened my eyes and heard the woman gasp and the men eyes were wide in stock.

I use this opportunity to rush forward, I sled under the leader's legs quickly standing up behind hitting a special nerve in his neck. He falls. to the ground succumbing to sleep.

The other two turn around, the woman took a step back in fear. This man however didn't hesitate he swung an old rusty pipe at me.
I dunked backward, dodging his attack, as my hands hit the ground my feet came up kicking the pipe right out of the man's hand and flew into the air. I caught it as I stood up.

The man froze in dread. I threw the pipe to that ground and walk up to him pressing on the same nerve I did to the last man.

I glanced over to the woman who was still horrified from the events that just occurred. She didn't move.

"Y-you're 'The Sandman'?" She asked in a low whisper, I could hear the fear in her voice and to be completely honest it didn't really sound much like a question.

I gave her a light chuckle and step towards her. Her legs shook and she fell to the ground terrified of the faith that would befall her.

I leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Shhh~". Just with a single touch, she was out.

Don't get me wrong these people weren't good people, but it's just not in my nature to steal. So, I quickly readjusted my hoodie to my head and left the scene.

⭐Timeskip⭐

'The Sandman?' How did I end up a man? Is it too much of a surprise that a woman could take down so many people at once?

*Sigh*

I glanced up in the night sky looking at the stars that were once so beautiful, and still were... however it was so hard to truly enjoy them nowadays.

I tried to get comfortable against the tree that I'm currently in when I hear the sounds of someone running in the surrounding forest. I stood upon the branch and my eye caught something.

It's a little monster, he had a bag in his mouth for he had no arms. He was getting closer to my position that I noticed an older fat man running behind him.

"You monster sh*t! Give that here and you might escape with your life!"

The monster kid was looking around quickly moving his head side to side, I believe he is lost.

The fat man had caught up to him while he was looking about. He threw him to the ground and stomped on his torso.

You piece of crap! He is just a child.

I ran off the branch I was on and onto another one then so on until I was above the fat man and the monster kid.

The fat man laughed as he gave the monster kid another good kick, the kid screamed out in pain, dropping the bag he had.

"Haha, if you don't mind I'll be taking that." The fat man went to pick up the bag, but I swung down from the tree branch and kicked the guy making him fall on his back and me landing in front of him.

"W-what th-" Before he had time to react I lean down and cut him off with a touch, making him unconscious.

I walked up to the kid who scooted back a bit. I picked up his bag then helped him to his feet by grabbing his shoulders and pulling him up.

"Here. You should be more careful, humans are ugly and greedy creatures." I held the bag up to his mouth so he could take it.

His eyes light up, "Thanks yo! I was in a tight pickle... but aren't you...um human?"

I giggle and shifted my gaze toward the side, "Yes, but I was speaking in general. Not all of us wish to kill and join the war... some of us... some of us just want peace, back in the good old days."

I thought back to my later years when I was a brat and a loud tall skeleton saved me from a bunch of bullies. I was so isolated from the rest of the world, but this one monster wouldn't take no for an answer. He was so kind... too kind. That was before the war, I was just a small thing and he might as well been my age cause he acted like it... He is the reason I don't kill. Monsters and humans alike, he is the one who taught me to truly believe in someone. That there is good in everyone.

I wish to see him again.

"Umm... miss?" I was so lost in thought I forgot about the small guy before me.

I look back at him with a gentle smile, "Any way you must hurry back, your friends or family must be worried sick."

"Yeah, man! You got to come with!!"

"Sorry little buddy, I don't think that's the best idea. I'm human remember?" I said with a soft giggle.

"No problem yo! The ambassador is human too!"

"Wait! The ambassador is still alive?!" I was genuinely shocked most people thought the ambassador died while being ill and that was one of the main reasons the war started.

Wait... The ambassador of all monsters?! Then they might know who and where to find that one skeleton monster!!

"Yeah, okay kid. I'll come back with ya. But, you might want to hurry Mr. Fatso won't stay passed out for long."

"Awesome, yo!! I'm MK by the way. You?"

"(Y/N). Or as most people call me, 'The Sandman'."
