I groggily opened my eyes to hear a familiar sounding high-pitched voice.

"PAPY COME ON YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE FOR SENTRY DUTY!" (Underswap) Sans explained restlessly, Sans was standing in the doorway of my room impatiently waiting for me to get out of bed tapping his foot in annoyance. I sighed tiredly as I tried to get up, obviously I was exhausted and this was soon demonstrated as I fell face first onto the floor with half of my body still on the bed.

"I'll be up in a minute Sans." I said drowsily while putting my hand on the floor to push myself up.

"FINE, JUST COME DOWNSTAIRS WHEN YOU'RE DONE, OKAY BROTHER?" Sans ordered while rolling his eyes and closing the door quietly when he left.

I got up and sat on my bed, rubbing my eyes I thought about today, "Wonder what Muffet's doing" I asked myself curiously, "Guess i'll find out later" I thought as I scanned my room for my trademark orange hoodie, once I found it I almost instantly put it on and headed downstairs.

As I walked into the kitchen I saw Sans making tacos, "Heya Sans" I greeted my energetic little brother as I sat down at the table. "MORNING PAPY!" Sans said cheerfully with a big smile as he presented a plate of tacos before me. I quickly scarfed them down and put my plate in the once-empty sink, I waved goodbye to Sans for the day and headed to my post. Without letting my little bro know, I snuck a few cigarettes and a bottle of honey out, Sans didn't like it when I smoked and I could understand why, I did it way too much and I knew it bothered him but regardless I lit a cigarette and put it in my mouth, I walked sluggishly toward my station and sat down. I'm sure I could handle a few hours of sitting here, after all it was a particularly nice day I had my bottle of honey.

About thirty minutes passed and I had finished my honey and cigarettes, I was already bored so I decided to go for a quick walk knowing that Sans was probably still at home or his work station fixing his puzzles. Snow began to fall as I continued to walk through the peaceful forest, I was stopped dead in my tracks as I heard sounds of someone whimpering, it sounded like.. SANS! I speedily ran towards the sounds that echoed throughout the darkened woods.

"Sans! Sans are you here?" I called trying to get any sign that Sans was here. I was startled as I saw a monster lying in the snow shivering. The monster looked almost identical to Sans although he was wearing a large black hoodie, a red sweater, Black basketball shorts with a yellow stripe down the middle and a c-collar, his teeth seemed to be fastened to a point and a sharp gold tooth was located on the left side of his upper jaw. On closer inspection I noticed the small monster was severely injured, blood trailed across snow and it looked as if his ribs were cracked. He hadn't taken noticed me at first but when I reached out my hand to him he flinched and looked into my eyes with absolute terror.

"B-boss! h-h-how did you..." The monster whimpered as tears streamed down his face. I was taken back at the unnecessary title, he immediately stopped his sentence when I reached closer towards him. The poor thing was absolutely terrified and was shaking so violently.

"B-boss i-im s-s-sorry... P-please d-dont p-p-punish m-me..." The monster sobbed shakily, I took my hand back and a look of worry clouded my face as I continued to observe the small monster. He was a skeleton just like Sans but he had bruises and cuts all over his body and was bleeding badly, he had shut his eyes and wrapped his arms around his chest. After a while the monster got tired and I assumed passed out from exhaustion. I quietly grabbed my phone and rang up Sans.

"HELLO BROTHER!!"

"Heya Sans..."

"DO YOU NEED SOMETHING?"

"You know that uh sleepover I promised you with Undyne?"

"Well, pack your stuff, I need you to head over there now okay."

"OKAY BROTHER BUT WHY...?"

"Nevermind just make sure you leave before I get home okay."

"SURE..."

I hung up the call and returned the phone to my pocket, although I did enjoy my brothers company but I knew it would be difficult to have him around while caring for an injured monster.
The recently found small skeleton trembled lightly in his sleep and my worry only grew. "Why was this monster so hurt, and why was he so scared?" I thought to myself in curiosity and concern, I guess it's better to wait until later to ask the poor little guy. Without hesitating I reached over and picked up the shaking monster, as I lifted him gently into my arms I noticed how cold he was, the poor thing was freezing so I hastily took off my hoodie and wrapped the skeleton in it, I guess it will have to do for now.

I marched quickly through the snow taking one swift step after another, before I knew it I was breathing heavily due to exhaustion, but this didn't bother me as I knew I had to get home as quickly as possible. I arrived at the front door of me and my brothers cosy house and quickly swung it open, a warm scent lingered in the air as I ran quickly to the couch before laying the small being onto it. I noticed the skeleton was still shivering so leaving my orange hoodie I quickly went upstairs to get more blankets. I was glad my brother had cleared out before I got home, it would be more troubling if he hadn't left yet I let out a dry chuckle as I almost imaged him flooding me with questions and demanding a hug. I went downstairs and to my relief the small skeleton still lay silently on the couch, I proceeded to smother him in blankets before heading to the kitchen to have a few cigarettes.

30 Mins Later...

I felt warm, but something was on my chest and it was also really... soft but heavy, it was a big pile of blankets. I warily opened my eyes and glanced around the room I was now in. OH NO! I was at home? But it was different? It looked weird? Did Boss bring me here? A million questions flooded me but I realised that I was on the couch. Boss didn't let me on the couch let alone use blankets... and I shivered in fear thinking what he would do if he saw me on the furniture so ignoring the comfortable blankets I pushed them aside quietly and accidently fell off the couch. Ow, that hurt... knowing that it probably made quite a bit of noise I shuffled rapidly toward the door hoping that if Boss was home he didn't hear, I reached my hand up and was about to turn the handle until I was grabbed by what I knew was Bosses magic.

"Where do you think you're going?" A voice asked in a dazed way, knowing pretty well that this was Boss I turned around hesitantly and looked downward at the surprisingly clean floor.

"I-i-im s-s-sorry B-b-boss, p-please d-don't h-h-hurt m-me." I pleaded while stuttering in fear and panic as his magic restricted my movements bounding me to the one spot.

I was sitting calmly in the kitchen smoking a cigarette until I heard a loud thud followed by movement coming from the living room. In confusion I headed into the living room only to see the monster attempting to get out of the house. Before he could open the door I restricted him with my magic and walked tiredly over to the skeleton. "Where do think your going?"  I asked sluggishly unaware of how serious I sounded, I stared lazily at the skeleton but he was avoiding my gaze completely.

"I-i-im s-s-sorry B-b-boss, p-please d-don't h-h-hurt m-me." The small monster begged as he trembled in fear, I scratched my head. Boss? Who was Boss? Without questioning it I just replied with a simple "Hm" He obviously took it the wrong way as he began trembling more. I played along pretending to be his "Boss" not knowing how he would react if he knew I wasn't, also not gonna lie I was kinda curious to see how would react.

"Hm" Boss said, No no no! He's probably deciding on a punishment! I unintentionally shivered more violently thinking of the punishments my Boss had given me before. Still avoiding my brothers stare I almost gasped as he lifted me with his magic and carried me to the living room.
