brothers - amnesia

part 9

Sans POV
I spent the next few weeks at the lab fixing the machine with alphys. It was fun working on science things with someone and I never saw papyrus that much. I would usually avoid him because sometimes I'd have small flashbacks of my life before and would remember more about people, when he said that he was going to see mettaton I had a small flashback that felt important.

Flashback

~ No, this is enough papyrus Mettaton doesn't love you he'll only cause you pain. I don't want you seeing him anymore." His eyes lie up with anger and I realised that I'd gone to far. "HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HIM. YOUR JUST OVERPROTECTIVE AND SELFISH! I'M AN ADULT AND I DON'T NEED YOU IN MY LIFE ANYMORE."~

End of flashback.

I'd been avoiding him ever since then. Did he really feel that way? Does he even care about me at all? "Sans are y-you ok, you've been s-spacing out an awful lot t-today." Alphys interrupted my thoughts and I snapped back into reality. "I'm fine. I've just got a lot on my mind." I knew I was lying to her but for some reason it didn't bother me. Lying felt easy and I didn't feel any guilt. I wonder how many times I've lied to others before. Clearly a lot. "Ok. Well we've a-almost finished so why don't y-you go home now and w-we will test i-it out tommorow." I just nodded and teleported to waterfall. I really like that place it calms me when I've had a stressful day. It's also really relaxing. My phone ringed and I picked it up. "Hello." Papyrus answered. "I'M GOING TO MAKE DINNER SO COME HOME SOON, I'M MAKING SPAGHETTI." "Okay. Bye." I hung up quickly and walked home to get some exercise. I didn't actually want spaghetti. His spaghetti isn't that bad it's just we have it so often that I'm sick of it. Once we had tea sitting in an uncomfortable silence I walked upstairs and tripped clumsily as I fell back papyrus caught me and I had a strange flashback.

~flashback~
I lost my footing and tripped at the top of the stairs. The back of my head smacked against the floor and I blacked out after hearing a crack.
~flashback end~

Papyrus snapped his fingers in front of my face and I realised I had zoned out. He was lecturing me about being careful but also looked awfully concerned. The look on his face was a mix between guilt and sadness and I thought about the flashback I had before. Was that the reason why I lost my memory? I'm fairly sure papyrus was involved somehow but didn't know the details. It was obvious he wouldn't tell me since he hated talking about it, every time I tried to bring it up he dismissed it and changed the subject hurriedly. I listened to him complain about my clumsiness and eventually fell asleep still in his arms. I woke up in my bed.
