Sick Of It All

-_Explanation_-

Sans POV~

"BROTHER,WAKE UP. WE'RE HOME." I open my eyes to warmth. I'm home,huh? Papyrus sets me on the couch and bounds into the kitchen. I look over at the human next me. They look really worried. "What's wrong,kid? Ya worried about me,or something?" I tease with a cough and I can taste the blood that entered my mouth but didn't let it show. "Yes. I am worried about you Sans. You were coughing up blood! And I still don't know what happened to make you scream." "YES,BROTHER,DO TELL WHAT HAPPENED IN YOUR DREAM!" Pap poked his head in to listen.

"Uhhh..." I don't know what to tell them. I can't tell Pap about Chara again. Last time I tried didn't go so well. Frisk seems to see the look on my face as she suddenly asks "what happened when you took Sans to see Alphys?" Pap takes the bait and replies,much to my relief, "OH,SANS IS SICK. BUT ALPHYS GAVE ME MEDICINE THAT HE NEEDS TO TAKE ALONG WITH HIS REGULAR PILLS FOR HIS BRONCHITIS." "Hey,shouldn't I take them right now? Since I didn't take my dose last night and she said to take them as soon as we got home." Papyrus nods and rushes back into the kitchen to grab the meds.

A few minutes later the tall skeleton comes back into the living room and hands me two pills,one blue and the other white.

I levetate a bottle of ketchup over to me and I pop the pills through my teeth,grab a funnel and pore the red substance into the it which is now between my teeth as well.

"Thanks,bro" I mutter as I remove the funnel. I notice that the kid has been pretty quiet so I look over to see her staring at me with an expression I can only identify as utter confusion.

"What's wrong kiddo? Cat gotcha tongue?" She giggles a little but then goes serious.

"What's 'Bronchitis'?" She asked.

Me and Pap look at each other before I answer.

"It's..a condition..in your lungs. It's inflammation of the lining of bronchial tubes, which carry air to and from the lungs... there are two types of Bronchitis: acute and chronic. I have chronic Bronchitis. When I was about 9, I started to cough a lot and eventually..there was blood. So I went the small clinic that was set up down here at the time while Grilbz babysat Pap. They told me I had a major magical acute Bronchitis. It was magical because I don't have flesh and muscles and all that. Just magic keeping me from becoming a pile of bones in a hoodie and basketball shorts. If our dad had been there, he would have done some sort of messed up experiment on me to figure out how I got any kind of Bronchitis, as no one in our family has ever had it. But anyway,the doc gave me a little,red pill. 'Said it had determination in it. I went back home and didn't tell Pap until a few years later when he asked why I took pills before bed and he didn't. I told Grilbz because he was old enough to understand when I found out about it myself."

Frisk seems awestruck as I finish.

"I never thought of your past to be so upsetting, considering how much you smile." I look at the small human next to me.

"Things aren't always as they seem."

"UMM..BROTHER,CAN I..TALK TO YOU FOR A MOMENT?" Pap asks as he picks me up and carries me upstairs into him room. "Ya,bro?" I reply coolly as he sets me down. "I DIDN'T THINK THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS THIS WITH THE HUMAN,BUT..WHAT HAPPENED IN YOUR DREAM? YOU SOUNDED REALLY SCARED." He asked the question slowly, as not to alarm me. It didn't really work.

"O-oh. Um..well.." I sigh. "Alright. I'll try again, I guess.." I mutter the last part as I grab Pap's arm and guide him back down to the kid. She looks confused as I sit next to her,letting go of my brother.

"Ok,kiddo. We're gonna tell him. Again. I know how it ended last time,but now we know what happens,so we can try and prevent it. Sound good?" I ask, looking at her. She nods after staring into my sockets for a few seconds. "Alright,Papyrus. I'm gonna explain something to you. Keep all questions to yourself until the end. It's kinda a story that we don't like to talk about. And you'll see why." I take a deep breath before I begin to explain.

"To start,kiddo do you mind bringing out the buttons?" Frisk nods and summons the two glowing buttons with a swish of her hand. "These, bro, are very special. This one is the RESET button. And the other is the CONTINUE button. The RESET button allows Frisk to restart from where she fell down into the underground. No one remembers anything that happened before she RESET. Except me. I remember every RESET. The first run was good. We made it to the surface and we all got to see the starts again. Then, out of curiosity, the kid RESET and I woke up back in my bed in Snowdin. I was so confused when we went to duty and the kid walked out if the ruins, looking as confused as I was. Multiple runs like that happened. Each timeline, it was the same as the last. It was tiring. I never got sleep."

I look up at Papyrus to see him with pure fascination coating his face. I decide to continue.

"One time, I thought I should tell you. So I did. I..don't want to go into details, but it got messy. So I never told you again. But the run before this one.. I've never seen something that horrible since the war.. everyone died. A demon blackmailed Frisk. Told them that she was to kill every monster in the underground, or she would take control and do it herself, while Frisk watched. So, she killed a Froggit. She felt guilty but kept going. She killed you and I found your scarf in the snow. I took a shortcut to the Great Hall. I'm the judge. It's my job to deam a SOUL dark and take it so I could protect the king. I fought the kid for what felt like hours. I would kill her, she'd hit the CONTINUE button, and the fight would start over. This went on until she got a hit in on me. With my one HP, it killed me within 30 seconds. Then I woke up back home again. This timeline."

Papyrus looks like he has a million questions, but instead of asking them, he told me that I should rest before I tell any more. I agree, because this has been an eventful day.

(A-N- hi. I know I updated not that long ago,but I was excited to continue it. Don't judge me about this chapter, it came to mind, so I did it.)
