Silence Is Bittersweet (DanceTale Sans X Reader)

(18) New Places

     My head hurts, a lot. What is this, the second time I've woken up like this? With a pounding headache?

Then previous events come flowing back.

I shoot up, eyes flying open. Instantly I regret it, and give a yelp of pain. I have to hold still, and wait for the headache to subside.

When it does, I try to take in my surroundings. I spin slowly, observing every inch of this... Cell.

The walls are made of gray stone, without even a simple window. A metal door is on one wall, off to the left side. At the bottom of it is what seems to be a slot.

In one corner their is a hole in the ground.

Oh Hell no.

I swear... If that is supposed to be my toilet, someone is losing a limb.

I look around frantically for a bathroom, with no luck. I won't be peeing in that hole unless I get really desperate.

Quickly I pat my sides, realizing that my Walkie Talkie is gone. Oh.... Stupid (y/n)! Why would they leave the Walkie Talkie!

No crutches either. That might be a problem.

Ugh! Why did I try and run away with crutches?! How exactly did I think that was going to work out?

At least he left my watch. I quickly check the time, then the date.

3:12 p.m, Apr. 10

Woah. I slept for three days!? What did they give me!? I sigh, and walk over to the door.

I know it's useless, but I do it anyway.

I bang my fists on the door, yelling and screaming. Shouting for someone, anyone, to come get me out of here. Of course, no one answers.

Then the door opens.

A figure walks in, holding a giant sack. The figure appears to be male, in a black suit and red tie. How does he wear a suit to kidnap someone!? Doesn't it get hard to move?

He roughly throws the sack on the floor. You would think it is just an ordinary sack.

But then it groaned.

The man closes the door abruptly, and storms out of... Wherever we are. The bag groans again, shifting.

Then something starts crawling out of it.

I panic for a second, but then quickly rush to their aid. Together we pull the sack away, and toss it into the corner. Then this new person is fully revealed.

He is a monster, that's for sure. He has yellow scales, and tiny little horns that trail down his back. He has a long tail, that comes to a point. He wears a little yellow and brown sweater, paired with brown leggings.

The I realize that he has no arms. His sweater is sleeveless, literally. His big eyes are white, with black irises. His mouth holds a cute pair of buck-teeth, that I think would stick out if he smiled.

Which, at the moment, he wasn't.

"H-Hello?" I say nervously.

"A-Are you ok?"

The kid slowly gets up, and turns his eyes on me. Then his expression lightens up a little.

"Oh hey! Were you sneaking out to see her too?" He asks.

"Who?" I reply.

"Well Undyne of course!" He says, like it's obvious.

Undyne must have been really popular in the underground. I shake my head, and invite him to sit next to me.

"Well, I w-was on my way home from m-my secret place, and this g-guy jumped me!" I exclaim. The kid nods.

"I was walking to Undyne's house! I wanted to see her! And then the guy grabs me in an alley..." The kid says.

"Oh! By the way, I'm Monster Kid! My friends call me MK, so you can too! What's your name?"

"Daisy, nice t-to meet you!" I reply happily.

The two of us fall to silence, before MK picks up a conversation.

"So, one time, we had a school project where we had to take care of a flower." MK starts, using animated gestures with his tail.

"The King- We had to call him Mr. Dreemurr- volunteered to donate his own flowers. He ended up coming to school and teaching the class about responsibility and stuff."

Then MK seems to get really excited.

"That got me thinking... YO! How COOL would it be if UNDYNE came to school?!"

Wow... He really likes Undyne. She seems to be some sort of role model to him.

"She could beat up ALL the teachers!!"

Woah. I've kinda had enough of school fights.

"Ummm, maybe she wouldn't beat up the teachers... She's too cool to EVER hurt an innocent person!" MK finishes, sporting a wide grin.

"That sounds like a cool story!" You say. This cheers MK up.

"YO! Did you know I told the same story to Frisk in the underground?"

This caught my attention.

"You know Frisk?"

"Of course! We hang out all the time! I'm their best friend!"

So MK is friends with Frisk. You don't know why this caught your attention, but it just feels important.

"Yo! There was this one time, I was walking in Snowdin." MK starts, telling a new story.

"And I saw this snowman, next to a lump of snow. It looked just like the Great Papyrus! The other one was just a pile of snow with 'Sans' written on it..." This made me laugh. That sounds just like Sans.

"But the snowman was amazing! It looked JUST like the Great Papyrus!"

So, MK really looks up to Papy. Almost as much as Undyne! I have a suspicion that Frisk had something to do with it.

MK yawns.

"What is it? Not sleep well last night?" You ask.

"Ya... I got caught sneaking around... the Skelebro's house..." MK says slowly.

I pat my lap, inviting him up. He trots over, and slithers into my lap. He snuggles close, and I lean against the wall. The kid's head rests against my heart, and I wrap my arms around him.

It hasn't even been a minute, and I can already feel his slow breathing.

Poor kid.

This was totally right after lunch 😂. Sorry.

Hey, at least I got it out. Enjoy!

And remember! Reality is an illusion, the universe is a hologram, buy gold, BYE!
