Difficult Love (An Undertale Fanfic) *Completed*

Chapter 6

The next morning, I wake up earlier than normal. "Man..I hardly slept last night."
I stretch before slowly standing up and walking to my bedroom. As I walk past my brother's room to get to my own, I can hear him talking to someone. I stop walking and look towards his door. (I wonder who he's talking to.)
Just as I'm about to continue to my own room, I hear Papyrus mention my name.
"Sans? Oh, uhm..I suppose he can come, too. But..would you not be okay with it only being the two of us?" His voice gains a hint of sadness as he continues, "Right, I understand. Yeah, I think he'd enjoy it, too. Okay, see you later, Frisk!"
Upon noticing that the call had ended, I hurry back to my room, closing the door behind me. "I wonder what that was about.."
Just then, Papyrus calls to me from the other side of my door. "Sans? Are you in there, brother?"
"Ah, uh..yeah, just a sec."
I take a deep breath and open the door, trying to act natural.
"Hey, Pap..about last night.."
"No need to apologize, Sans. You know I could never hate you!"
"I'm glad.."
"Yeah..uh, soo-" he looks down and scratches the back of his head awkwardly, "would you be willing to go to the amusement park with Frisk and I?"
"Why? I thought you were going to ask her to go on a date with you?"
"W-well. I did. But..she insisted that we bring you, too. She said 'it's more fun with the three of us all together, don't you think?'."
(Wait..if she likes him, why wouldn't she agree to go alone with him? Maybe she's just being shy. I could go and just try to give them space, I suppose.)
"Well, if you're really okay with it, I'll go, too."
Papyrus smiles and grabs my hand. "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go!"
"W-wait, Pap! I have to get ready.."
He stops and looks at me, noticing that I'm in the same clothes as the day before.
"Right, sorry. I was just a bit overexcited. Hurry and get dressed, we don't want to keep Frisk waiting!"

After I get dressed, Papyrus and I drive to the theme park, picking Frisk up along the way. After we arrive and get parked, we go through line. I purchase three day passes, one for each of us.
Pap's face lights up once we get inside of the actual park. "Wowwie.. Sans, Frisk, lets ride ALL of the rides!"
Frisk simply nods in agreement.
We all go on many rides, having fun and purchasing our "reaction" pictures from roller coasters we went on.
As the day starts coming to an end, Papyrus decides he wants to go on one last ride.."The Drop".
"The Drop" is basically exactly what it sounds like. It takes you SUPER high into the air, and then drops down quickly. It does that a few times before safely going back to the ground.
As we approach the line, I notice Frisk beginning to shake.
"Hey, what's wrong, kiddo?" I ask.
"I-I don't think that...I can do it..."
"I mean, you really don't have to if you don't want to."
She shakes her head. "N-no..I wanna try."
As the line gets shorter and our turn comes up, Frisk grabs my hand tightly. "I-I'm scared.."
I look at her empathetically. "Y'know, it's not too late to back out."
She nods. "I'm sorry. I just can't.."
I grip her hand tighter and call out to Papyrus. "Pap, Frisk decided she doesn't want to ride this. I'm gonna stay down here with her."
"Oh, uh..sure thing! I'll be down soon. Watch for me, I'll wave to you!"
"Will do."
The two of us step out of line and walk to a nearby bench, which happens to have a good view of the ride. After sitting down, Frisk speaks up. "Sans, I'm really sorry.."
"Hey, don't sweat it, kid. I honestly didn't feel like going on that ride, either. I don't think I have the guts," I joke.
She lets out a small, adorable giggle. "You know, Sans, those puns don't work as good with you being a human."
Yeah, I guess you're right. I suppose I need to heighten my puncabulary."
She laughs, despite the joke clearly not being one of my best.
"Anyway, do you want anything to eat, kid?"
"Mmm...ice cream?"
"Sure thing, be right back."
I walk over to the nearest vendor, buying two banana splits. After walking back, I hand one to Frisk.
"Sorry, I forgot to ask what you actually wanted.."
"It's okay, Sans."
As she starts to eat, I interrupt her. "Don't eat it too fast, or you could end up with a splitting headache."
The remainder of time that we wait for Papyrus, we joke back and forth, laughing at each others' jokes. Even after he gets off of the ride, we still continue talking.
Because I'm distracted trying to come up with more jokes, I barely notice that Papyrus is walking slowly behind us.
Once we get to the car, he insists that Frisk sit in the front with me. As I glance in the rear view mirror, I notice that he seems deep in thought. (I wonder what happened..?)

That night after we return home from dropping off Frisk, Papyrus stops me as I'm on my way to my room.
"Hey, Sans? Mind if we..talk a bit?"
"Sure thing, Pap. What's on your mind," I ask, sitting on the couch.
"Y-you see, I've..decided to give up on Frisk.."
"Wait, what? I thought the whole point of today was for you two to spend more time together? I even tried keeping my distance so that you two could talk more."
"Well, yeah, but.." he trails off for a moment. "Sans, I think she'd be happier..with you."
"Why would you think something like that?"
"Because you two seemed to be having such a good time this evening! You were both smiling and laughing; it looked like you were having a lot of fun! And besides.." he looks down at the floor, "I didn't even notice that she seemed uncomfortable about going on that ride. But you did. You were even nice enough to keep her company while I still went on the ride.."
He looks back up and smiles at me. "Plus, I want you to be happy, too."
"But Pap, the whole reason we changed into humans was for you to confess to her!"
"I know. But I'm not going to change my mind on this. I, The Great Papyrus, am willing to give up on her for the sake of my own brother's happiness. Nyeh heh heh!"
"Pap.."
"Don't worry about me, Sans. Just do me a favor, and don't let me down..okay? Make her happy for me."
He then walks towards his room. Once at the doorway, he turns around to say "Oh, and..I probably won't be hanging out with you two much until the rest of the two months is over. I'd like to give you two private time so that you can get closer."
"But Pap-"
Before I can say anything else, he closes his door. I put my face in my hands. (I should've just kept my mouth shut. If I didn't say what I did to him yesterday, this wouldn't be happening..)
Feeling guilty, I go to my room and lock myself in.
