Please don't mind any spelling mistakes xD
Paps and Frisk had a lot of energy. I messed around with them for a little while but then I started getting tired. I told them that I was just feeling lazy and went to sit on the porch. Hell, just watching them run around had made me tired. Guess the was the old sans in me..
They would run back and forth in the snow that was surprisingly warm and make snow angels with an outline that would glisten in the magic light to the underground. Though the snow was warm, It held it's shape, and beauty. The untouched patches, sparkling like diamonds.
While I sat there watching over the two, I began to go over the theory again. The core, the source of all electricity and technology, was fine before the monsters had left the underground. I had assumed that during the war with humans, nuclear bombs that were dropped had gotten through the mountain and somehow to the core, causing a malfunction..
During my daily runs I would always stop and check the core to make sure that nothing had changed. Millions of echoflowers and warm snow, and from what I knew, cold lava... Yes, I secretly jumped in it. I was pissed off one day okay...
All the thinking I'd been doing was getting tiring. The sound of Paps' and Frisk's voices was rather soothing too, because I knew they were safe. What were the chances of finding that damn flower while I was asleep anyway right? So with that being my final thought, I slept.
When I woke up, I woke to giggles and the smell of.... Permanent marker? Oh no..... Daring to open one eye, I found Frisk standing over me... with said marker, and Papyrus watching off to the side, just barely holding in his laughs.
Grabbing Frisk's wrist, scaring her, I growled. "Whatcha doin' dolly?" I asked.
She smirked, pulling away. "Just... purrfecting your look skeleboy.." she giggled.
Papyrus groaned. "Human.... Not you too..." So it must've been a pun... They drew something cat related...
I stood, taking the marker and walking over to a window, staring at my almost completely transparent reflection... Whiskers... of course... I was actually a bit disappointed that that was all she came up with. I thought she would have come up with something like "dickhead" across the forehead.
But really? Cat whiskers?
She was lucky that permanent marker didn't last longer than three days with the proper cleaning... I'd have to deal with the jokes until then... She'd gotten quite ballsy since I'd known her last... There was a chance she'd teach Papyrus to be mischievous but according to her facial vandalism skills, it wouldn't be too bad.. Perhaps she was purposely keeping it mild?
If that were the case then props to her.
"Oh, ha ha very funny you two... " I started, rolling my eyes and turning back to them.
Papyrus laughed and Frisk did too. She looked so confident. I was almost jealous. "Ready to go back inside?" I asked, wanting a change of scenery.
"Aww... Can we revisit the outdoors tomorrow as well brother?" Paps practically begged.
Meanwhile Frisk was giving me this look that screamed "If you say no, I'll end you" It kind of pissed me off, seeing that she had no right in what I did or didn't allow Papyrus to do.... But I guess since she wasn't a bitch with the marker that I wouldn't be a bitch about my decisions...
I sighed. "Alright Papyrus we can come back out tomorrow."
To this, they both jumped up, shouting with joy like little kids. Then... they hugged me... It reminded me of back before the monsters were freed. The normal hug between the three of us... Frisk's tiny self, me, and the huge Papyrus... It was so different now...
Nonetheless, I'd hugged back. It was nice to receive a hug from the two. It was something I desperately missed. Even with the differences it was still nice. Frisk was back in arm's reach and I had an understanding as to why she had left in the first place.
I would try to control my anger more often. As much as I enjoyed control I also wanted them to be happy. For them- or... Papyrus- I would try harder.. Might as well at least try to make this life worth living right?
. . . . . Right?
