My Knight In Shining Bones (Sans x Reader)

Chapter Six

(y/n)

After a few hours of watching the magic box which I remember Sans calling a 'TV', Papyrus and Sans returned from their searching for a human.

"Welcome back. How'd your search go? Find a human?" I questioned, hoping that this wasn't the case.

"NO, WE DID NOT!" Papyrus answered.

A sigh of relief escaped my lips upon hearing that.

Seems like I have nothing to worry about. I knew Mother wouldn't let Chara get past her.

"What're you so relieved about?" Sans questioned as Papyrus left the room.

"Well, if no human has showed up yet... Then that must mean that Mother's okay, and was able to vanquish the human." I explained.

Sans face fell into a frown.

"What?" I questioned.

"Well... While we were out, I heard noises of a fight coming from the ruins..." Sans explained.

"Oh, well... That's probably because Mother's just having a bit of trouble putting Chara in her place. Mother's never been the strictest mother, you know? She's probably just now giving Chara the spanking she deserves." I guessed.

Sans

Poor kid.

She doesn't even realize that what she's saying is far from the truth.

Toriel is having trouble killing Chara because she CAN'T kill Chara. She can't bring herself to kill a child. That will eventually lead her to her demise.

But... I can't bring myself to tell (y/n) this. She seems so optimistic about the situation... About her mother being alright...

"Yeah. Guess you're right." I lied.

(y/n) smiled before yawning.

"Hm... I'm starting to get a bit tired. Do you think I can use the couch as a bed for tonight?" (y/n) questioned.

"Sure. That's fine with me. Though that may not be the wisest option."

"How come?"

As if on cue, as the clock came around to 8pm, Papyrus started singing at the top of his lungs.

(y/n) instantly flinched at his... Unique singing voice....

"You see, my brother likes to sing while he tries out new spaghetti recipes. It might be better if you sleep in my room."

I could see it in (y/n)'s eyes that she wanted to protest, but to my surprise, she didn't.

She just nodded slowly, her eyes starting to close.

... She must be very tired...

"Thank you for letting me use your room. Feel free to move me to the couch when you head to bed yourself. Night." (y/n) said before heading up the stairs to my room.

"Night." I said back to her.

... Toriel... You did a great job raising her... 

Hello everyone! First off, sorry for the short chapter. Not every chapter can be long (unfortunately). Anyway, for anyone who is curious, I have finally created an updating schedule. This story will be updated every Tuesday from now on. The only reason this story's being updated today is because I won't be able to do so tomorrow since I'm going to go on a trip with my family to look for a new house this week, and won't be back until Saturday (We're moving in June, so yeah...). As always, I hope you're enjoying the story. Later! =^-^=
