Learn To Love.

Chapter 12

Red sat in the chair and shuffled his feet. His soul was pounding- he was such a pussy. He tried to keep a poker face but he was obviously shit at it. He felt a hand laid on his own and he looked over at Sans.

"Red, it's okay. It's just therapy."

"Well I don't know what the fuck they're gonna do in there," Red said in his defense. He knew damn well nothing bad was going to happen- but he was still terrified. Blue gave him a sad little smile before he turned Red's hand over and held it.

"You'll be fine. Do you want me to go in with you?"

"No- I ain't a baby bones. I can do it myself," he said at once. They'd make him talk about his problems- he didn't want Sans to know about how fucked up he was. Well... it might've been a little too late for that, but still.

"If you get overwhelmed you can tell your therapist- their name's Ursa. They were Papyrus's therapist, when he went. They're really nice."

"I know- I met em in the hospital. Big 'ol bear monster." Red looked away and squeezed Sans's hand. "I dunno. 'M nervous."

"It's fine to be nervous. I'll be out here the whole time if you need me for anything. It's only for an hour."

"Red?"

Red jumped when the unfamiliar voice said his name. He looked up and saw the bear standing there- they were a big monster. If they were from his timeline they could dust him easily- but the bear in front of him was probably a level 1 monster. He told himself to calm down as Sans raised his hand a little and drew Red to his feet.

"You'll be fine. I'll be right out here." Sans looked into the other Sans's eyes before leaning forward and giving him a quick, chaste little kiss on the forehead. "I'm not supposed to tell you, but Papy's making a pie for when we get home."

Red smiled. God he was still so nervous, but he had to do this. Ursa watched the two of them with an idle smile on their face before Red turned and followed them back into the main part of the building.
