Chapter 8: Red Dust

fun level 74 Original MC Sans and Frisk

Sans and Papyrus' Home . . .

Sans woke up again later. He had no idea if it had been a few minutes, hours or days later. Frisk was stuck in his arms, completely unconscious. He tried to move around again, feeling more energy stirring, but still too weak to move. This was worse than I thought. It . . . wait, that's it, Papyrus said something went wrong. He looked back at their souls, the colors still swirling into each other. "Twenty percent. It looks like twenty percent, maybe a little more." He looked down as he heard Frisk hiccup. She still stayed asleep though.

Should he call out for Papyrus? Alphys and him must have really wanted to make sure they didn't split again because he was all wrapped up on the human. He was lying on his side to the left, stuck facing her. He couldn't look away much elsewhere if he wanted to. Only straight up. She was right near his skull. His skull had actually been laying across the top of her forehead, the sweat from where he had it seen in her hair. Their top arms were wrapped around each other. Hers was slung across his neck bone area, and his arm was wrapped around her waist. His knee was underneath one of her legs, while her legs were draped across the top of his other leg. Kay. Um. Kay.

"Sans, are you still out?" Papyrus didn't sound so well from the other side of the door. "Are you awake at all?" That was almost a squeal. Oh no. Now what? He watched as Papyrus took a shortcut into his room. "Oh good, you're awake!" Papyrus said excitedly as he came to his side. "Because, um, we have a little bit of a problem. So sorry is coming."

Sans tried to speak, but failed. So Sorry? What?

"Yes, uh, no doubt you don't understand. Well, um, you see you've been out for about two days," Papyrus answered. "You always end the week though seeing Toriel for a joke though. She got worried and came by. I told her you had Skeletonitus, which is very catchy, even worse for flesh creatures. At the same time she came by, Undyne came by too. Which was good because I told her that before. Um, but it wasn't as, uh, good as before?" Papyrus fidgeted with his bony hands. "Toriel said she was worried and wanted to see you. Didn't say a thing about the human, which was good. But, I tried to convince her that you were just too contagious. And, uh, that you even locked yourself in your own room so no one could see you and get sick. But Undyne, she said no monster sickness can be felt by every monster, and that there was always one that was immune. So, I had to name a monster!" Papyrus held his bony fingers to his mouth. "I came up with the hardest thing to find, but Queen Toriel assured me she could find any subject at any time, so she could get it to check on you."

Noooo . . . Papyrus! Sans tried to move even more but he was still stuck. He barely managed to move a bony finger.

"On the upside, you look dreadfully terrible, so it shouldn't be a stretch to So Sorry that it isn't a lie?" Papyrus said on a good note. "The only real problem is you are entangled with the human. So, what do you want to do, Brother?"

If he could talk? "I . . ." He struggled. What? What were they going to do? Knew this was a bad idea, I knew this was a bad idea. There's just no cheating, even if it took a year, we shouldn't have done this.

So Sorry was coming, and if it came before Papyrus did something, they'd be so sorry.

"I could move her?"

Really Papyrus, shouldn't you have done that earlier? Sans tried to twitch something more than his fingers. This time he was able to twitch his foot. He could feel more power underneath, but it wasn't a whole ton more. He needed to reserve it, in case he really needed it.
