Chapter 3: Brotherly love

Papyrus pov

I wake up to yelling and screaming. It sounds like it's coming from the other room. It's probably just my imagination. But the screaming doesn't stop, and eventually I realize the screaming sounds like its coming from Sans. Realizing this, I quickly get out of bed to go check on him. As I get closer, I realize he's screaming as if he was in pain. I start making my way to his bedroom door.

“Sans? Are you okay?”

I'm about to knock on the door when suddenly…

“PAPYRUS!!!!!”

Without hesitation I quickly open the door and run into his room, only to find him having a panic attack. He was curled up into a ball on his bed, flames of magic covering him. I run up to him.

Pov

Papyrus ran up to Sans, unable to touch him because of the flames. He called Sans’ name for about 5 minutes before sans finally came to. Sans looks up at his brother. But what he saw… was the exact opposite of what he wanted to see. Instead of seeing his brother there to comfort him, he saw vines wrapping around his brother's neck and body, he saw whatever happened to him,  happening to his brother.

“no...”

He cried

“no no no no no! Papyrus! Not you too”

Sans buried his face into his knees, holding his head.

“this can't be happening! Not to you! Please! No! No! No!”

Papyrus hugged his brother.

“Sans! Listen to me! I'm fine! Everything's okay!”

Sans started to calm down, he hugged Papyrus back.

“..... Pap...”

“It's okay… I'm here Sans… I'm okay. Were both okay...”

Papyrus picked Sans up and walked downstairs. He put Sans at the table and went to make breakfast. A few minutes later, Papyrus came back into the dining room, holding three plates of bacon, eggs, and of course, spaghetti. He sat down next to Sans, who was staring at the flower vase at the centre of the table, filled with golden flowers.

“So Sans, could you tell me what happened-”

Papyrus noticed his brother staring at the flowers.

“Um… Sans? Is something about those flowers troubling you? I could move them if you like”

“Hm? Oh uh… no pap. I'm… I'm fine..”

“Well… if you're sure...”

Papyrus wasn't convinced, but he let it go for now.

“Well then… why don't you tell me what happened...”

“I uh… think I'll pass… I don't...”

“...... That's okay brother… if you can't talk about it right now, I won't force you… but, please, don't keep this hidden from me...”

“Heh… thanks pap… I'll try okay?”

“Of course brother!”

Papyrus said as he started eating his food. At that moment, Frisk came in.

“Human! You are awake! I the great papyrus has prepared an amazing breakfast for you-”

As soon as Frisk saw Sans, she ran up and hugged him. Sans was shocked At the sudden lunge, but he hugged back.

“Aww, did I scare ya kid?”

Frisk nods.

“Heh sorry ‘bout that kiddo… Here.”

Sans lifts Frisk into the seat next to papyrus.

“BONE appetit”

Frisk giggled.

“SANS IT'S TOO EARLY FOR THIS!!!”

Sans chuckled at his brother's reaction. But he still had something on his mind. What was that dream. What did it mean. He pushed those thoughts aside and started on his breakfast.
