Throughout the rest of the day, you lingered behind, happily watching as Bonbon enjoy her time with her friends. They chatted and laughed together, showing her how much they cared for her. Near the end of the day, you found yourself giggling when Grillby and Fuku had tried to sneak her away. But they gave up their attempt when they saw how furious the skelebros got. By that time, the small human child had already started dozing off to sleep. The house being in a mess after so many visitors, Papyrus decided that Sans should go on ahead and take the child to bed while he cleaned. Sans didn't argue and took the small human back to his room.
Laying beside her, he listened to her soft breathing. Finding himself unable to sleep, he absent-mindedly started stroking her hair. You glanced back, eyeing as Chara continued to sit quietly in the far-off corner. Within every room that Bonbon had went in, Chara would always sit herself at the farthest point of the room. Nothing you said could get her to react. You sat down and leaned against the bed, watching as Sans continued to run his phalanges across her hair. Bonbon yawned and turned her back towards him.
"didn't wake ya, did i?" Having no response, he sighed before leaning his skull back against the wall. "ya know....paps and i, we've...had our share of struggles as well. we've been through so much. from the first time we opened our eyes, our lives had been a constant battle to survive. we could only relay on each other. so...it's hard to see ya hiding things from us. someone really hurt you....didn't they....from how you scream in your sleep to how everything fascinates you as if it was truly the first time you've seen it. an angel as pure as you...s-should...never be hurt like that. i've seen my share of hurt angels."
You stood from your spot, wondering if you should leave.
Stay.....
Bonbon eyes where staring at you, pleading you to stay. Hands clenched, you nodded at her. With a shaky breath, Sans continued. "when i first saw the world around me, it was hazy at first, but with time my vision cleared. for a brief moment, behind my suspended confinement, i saw the one who would light the darkness that i would soon learn. my brother. but then i blacked out and was released. i was afraid, i didn't know where i was or who he was, just that i was alone. when i first met papyrus, i wasn't afraid anymore. i...i wasn't alone anymore. but that was when things got bad. s-something ... something happened to him. He changed ......m-munchkin...t-he horrible things he did to us."
Sans draped his arm over his eyes, as tears dared to spill. "those fuckin' experiments. test after test, pushing us further to the brink of death. i actually came close to dying a couple of times. if it wasn't for my bro, i would be nothing but a pile of dust right now. even though our lives were a living hell, papyrus always had hope. he was the brightest thing down there. I fought to protect him, to protect that light." Sans gritted his teeth, as he tried to steady his voice. "b-but, it...it only made it worse for him. cause i'm so weak...the things they couldn't do to me, they did it to him. they forced me to watch as they strapped him down....i could never forget his screams of pain. i'd beg them to stop, to strap me instead. no longer fighting him, he carried papurus off and put me on."
