Your POV
I sat down next to a beautiful river with a waterfall above it. The rushing water was quieter than a waterfall on the Surface, actually. Much quieter.
"I'm listening," I told him, taking off the fluffy socks that I wore when I first fell down. A serious sense of nostalgia washed over me. I rolled up my sweatpants until they reached my knees, and I dipped my feet into the surprisingly warm and soothing water.
The Underground sure was strange.
Sans sat beside me, choosing not to put his feet in the water. "w-welllll... i... uh..."
"You don't have to stutter," I said calmly. "I won't judge what you have to say." The water was so calming that my voice sounded as smooth as silk. "Here, you can calm down by putting your feet in the river."
He sighed deeply, took off his sneakers and socks, rolled up his sweatpants, and dropped his bony feet in it. "woah, you're right," he remarked.
"I know I am."
"anyway, what I wanted to say..." Sans continued. "i... pfft, this is really hard."
When I didn't reply and just shut my eyes, he got a couple inches closer.
"oh gosh, why am i doing this?" he laughed. "i'm an idiot."
"There are plenty of idiots on the Surface, so don't worry about it. Heck, I'm one of 'em," I said, shrugging.
"y-you're not an idiot!"
I was getting impatient by now. "Well h🔥ll to it all. I know you're not gonna say it, so I fudging like you. Okay? There, I said it."
My face went fifty shades of red, and I'm pretty sure his turned darker blue as well. "huh?" he responded in disbelief.
"I love you! Are you happy Sans?!" I asked rhetorically, crossing my arms.
"hahah, i-i guess we both really are idiots."
"And why is that?" I turned my head and opened my eyes, seeing Sans's face a little too close for comfort. Probably only a few inches away.
He was sitting on his knees now, though, since I was so tall compared to him.
He started this monologue that I'm pretty sure he planned hours before this moment. "because the moment i met you, i wanted to help you get over your chorophobia. have we accomplished that? not entirely yet, but i still wanted you to think better about yourself. and when we first danced, i realized that i could trust you completely. heck, i even thought we could eventually be best friends."
My breathing became quicker as I realized that he was slowly but surely leaning closer.
"i was right. i know it's pretty soon, but i feel like in a world where there could only be one person alive with me i would want you by my side. you make me feel like i belong in this pit of endless despair where we'll never get to the surface. i'm not even a good dancer; i don't practice, like, at all."
Soon his face was millimeters away. "Umm, Sans?" I said, my eyes wide.
He ignored me and finally said, "because (Y/N), i fricking love you, too. i can't imagine you being given to asgore to be killed. so don't ever try to get captured or garbage like that again."
I wasn't too intent on leaning either backwards or forwards, so Sans just closed the gap without me. I was confused how he could kiss without any lips, but he seemed to do it just fine.
It's not like I kissed human lips before, so I wouldn't know anyway.
I decided to wrap my arms around his neck to deepen the kiss because it felt odd not doing so.
Fudge everyone who judges.
I don't care that he's a skeleton and I'm a human.
Oh, shoot, that reminds me.
I pulled away, forgetting that I needed air.
"Ohhh my stars. That happened."
"yeah, it did," Sans said dreamily.
"You're an idiot."
"you are, too."
I kissed him again, because life is too short. This one seemingly lasted longer, and I was content about that.
A weight has been lifted.
(A/N: That's the end of the chapter~
Sans loves you, huh? Eh, not a surprise, really. Look at the title of the book. Anyway, I want to know if you want more, but I'm not really good at writing after a couple has gotten together. Just let me know and I'll be happy to keep writing!)
