Difficult Love (An Undertale Fanfic) *Completed*

Chapter 14

After deciding to confess to Sans, I hurry outside Grillby's and try to call him. I try to call him, but don't get a response.
"Alright. If I was Sans...where would I be?" I stand in place for a few minutes trying to think.
(Grillby's and his house are where he USUALLY would be. Though sometimes he also goes to mom's..)
Instead of trying to run around and find him, I figure that the quickest thing to do would be to call people and ask if they've seen him.
I quickly pull up Papyrus' contact and call him. After a few rings, he answers.
"Hello, Frisk! How are you doing," he asks.
"I'm really sorry, Pap, but I don't really have time to chat. Have you seen or heard from Sans at all?"
"No..I haven't. I thought he was with you?"
"Something..happened, and he left."
"Well, he isn't here at home. I'll try calling him and I'll wait here in case he comes back. I'll tell you if I find him!"
"Thanks, Papyrus. I'm gonna go call mom and see if she knows anything."
"Good luck, Frisk!"
After hanging up, I quickly call mom.
"Hello, this is Toriel."
"Mom, I don't really have time to talk. Have you seen or heard from Sans?"
"Why, no, I haven't. What's going on, my child?"
"It's a long story, I'll tell you later. Please call me if you hear from him.."
"Of course I will. I hope you can find him."
"Thanks, mom. I'll talk to you later."
Right as I hang up, I receive a text from Papyrus.

"Hello, Frisk! I've been trying to call Sans, but he has not answered. So, I tried thinking of some places he could be..but the only places I could think of were Grillby's, Toriel's, and here at home. However, I then remembered something! There's apparently a secret place that he disappears to a lot when he's not with you. I have asked him before where he goes, but he always says that it's a secret. So I started thinking, maybe that's where he went! If you can figure out where his secret place might be, then he'll probably be there!
Good luck!

Nyeh heh heh!"

After I read Papyrus' text, I quickly realize that place that he's probably talking about.
"The forest..how did I not think of that?!"
I quickly run in the direction of our "secret spot", hoping that he's there.
After what feels like an hour of running, I finally make it to the outside edge of the forest.
I slowly walk through the trees and brush, feeling my heart rate increase with every step. Once I finally reach the center of the forest, I look around frantically.
"Sans..where are you?"
Finally, I notice a figure on the other side of the pond. I quickly run towards it. As I get closer, I realize that it's him, asleep against a tree.
(Sans!)
After approaching him, I kneel down beside of him, peering down at his sleeping face.
(He really is handsome..) I think to myself as my face slowly gets closer to his. Right when our faces are merely inches apart, I notice his eyes starting to open, causing me to quickly jerk my head back.
He slowly opens his eyes and yawns before looking over at me.
"Frisk?!" he asks in surprise.
"Hey, Sans.."
He sits up, staring at my face.
"Have..you been crying," he asks, worry portrayed in his voice.
I smile at him. "Maybe a little. But that's not really important. There are..a few things I've been wanting to talk to you about."
He scoots over and pats the ground next to him. "Here, it'll probably be better if you have a back rest."
I hesitantly sit by him, both of us leaning back against the tree.
"So, what is it you have to tell me?"
I take a deep breath.
"Last weekend..I heard something that really shocked me. I heard that you...liked me.." I start. I notice a look of shock in his eyes.
"Where'd you..hear that," he asks nervously.
"It's..not really important. I'm just..curious as to whether or not it's true.."
He sighs and looks away from me. "It is."
I smile, happy that he feels the same way as me. "A-anyway..so..all week I've been really nervous about asking you about it. On Monday, when I was actually prepared for it, Papyrus called and kinda..took that chance away. Then when I fell on you that afternoon, I was really embarrassed, and just kind of lost all of my confidence."
I can feel Sans' eyes on me as I continue talking.
"You..remember asking me what I wanted to tell you the day he called you?"
"Yeah, you said that you'd tell me some other day."
I take another deep breath and smile at him. "I was going to tell you that..I love you, Sans. I have for longer than you might think."

~Sans' POV~
"I was going to tell you that..I love you, Sans. I have for longer than you might think."
I stare at Frisk in shock, not sure what to say. I feel my face heating up as she stares at me, waiting for a response.
Looking away, I nervously rub the back of my neck.
"Jeez, kid. You kinda..caught me off guard here.."
I glance over at her without turning my head, seeing her expression waver from confidence to worry.
I close my eyes and sigh before pulling her into a tight embrace.
"Y'know, I never planned on telling you how I felt. I was just gonna keep it to myself, and I didn't really worry much about changing back; until a few weeks ago, that is."
I feel Frisk wrap her arms around my back as I continue talking.
"For some reason, it got to the point that I couldn't really get you outta my head. But I still couldn't bring myself to say anything to you."
Frisk pulls away a little, looking at me.
"Sans..I wish you would have said something. Maybe none of what happened this week would have happened if you had."
"I know, I'm sorry."
She gives me a sweet smile in response.
(She's so beautiful.)
As I think that to myself, I slowly inch my face closer to hers. Seeming to notice my intentions, she closes her eyes.
I close my eyes as well as our lips press together. After a few seconds, I pull away and smile at her.
"Sans..let's lay down.." she says, "I kinda..wanna take a nap. If that's okay with you."
"Sure. I'm pretty tired, myself."
I move to where I'm able to lay against the tree. After I get comfortable, Frisk lays down beside of me, resting her head on my chest.
"Sans..I can hear your heart racing.." she says, causing me to blush.
"I-uh..I'm sorry. I can't exactly-"
"It's not a bad thing," she interrupts, "it's..really calming."
I smile again, petting her head.
"Sans..?"
"Yeah," I ask.
"I love you..I really do."
I chuckle, saying "I love you too, Frisk."
After talking for a little bit longer, the two of us end up falling asleep in each others' arms.
