I wake up to the sound of rain tapping on the roof. It isn't overly heavy, but it isn't gentle either. I look out the window to see a few treetops, the caps of some buildings, and the dove grey sky. The clouds moving very slowly, not caring what anybody wants. It's one of those days that you feel like doing nothing because it's dark and awful looking outside. . . like their soul.

So, I lay in my bed, staring out that window. I watch the rain peacefully falling from the sky. I turn on my phone. It read '08:16. 100% Battery. 3 New Text Messages.'. I open my phone, silently reciting my passcode, and look at the messages. One from Frisk, and two from Grillby. I open the one from Frisk. ' => I know you like him... ' sent three minutes ago. How come my phone didn't go off? Never mind that. 

' fine. you got me. just... don't tell anyone, k? '

I exit that chat and see what Grillby had sent me. ' Sans. ' ' Sans, you can't leave me waiting for you all day. ' sent fifteen minutes ago. I still wonder why my phone didn't go off.

' sorry for the late reply. i was sleeping. im probably gonna go later. im kinda tired still. '

He swiftly replied, ' You're always tired, Sans. '

' heh. i know. '

' Alright then. See you in a little bit. '

' see ya '

I got a notification that Frisk had responded to me. I switch back to the chat between the two of us. ' Fine. I was gonna tell Papyrus too. ' 16 seconds ago.

' don't. you will have a bad time. '

' I said fine, this isn't something that you can hurt me for. '

' k maybe im overreacting a little bit. '

' Just a little? ;) '

' okay maybe a lot. just don't say anything about this conversation. '

' Got it. '

I put my phone to the side and made my way over to my closet, filled with blue hoodies. I choose one by random and put it on over my t-shirt. It was just a rainy day in April after all. I grab my phone and shove my hands into my coat pockets. I slowly make my way downstairs. I look at a clock that was hung on the wall some few months ago. It was 8:20AM. I don't usually read clocks by 'AM' or 'PM' anymore, I use a 24 hour clock. However, this will do for right now.

Since Pap is still sleeping, I decide to not go down those creaky stairs and teleport to Grillby's instead. I quickly make my way to my usual stool, oddly in a hurry to see Grillby for some reason... oh yeah, I love him and he probably doesn't even like me like that. Or does he? I dismiss that thought for later and sit there. He walks up to me. "That was rather quick. I thought it would take you longer than this."

"eh. i felt like i should be here sooner, y'know."

"Do I even have to ask what you want?"

"nah. you already know anyway." And with that, he goes to the back room. I stare at the glass cups sitting on multiple shelves. They were so clean you could see through them. There were no stains, no sign of any condensation now or in the past. Grillby comes back with, you guessed it, a bottle of ketchup. I let my thoughts consume me once more.

Does he even love me back? He couldn't he. He thinks we're just friends. Or... does he? Stop thinking about that. Think of something else. How did Frisk find out? Oh wait, it's super obvious. Paps probably knows. Maybe he's known for a long time. Either way. I don't know what to trust or what to do about this. Maybe I should confess now. no no no that wouldn't work. That would be too sudden. Maybe I could set it up later. No, that's still too soon. I gotta wait.  

"Sans?" Grillby says as I jolt upward. "Is everything alright? You look more.... serious than you normally are."

"yeah, i'm fine. don't worry about me."

"Are you sure. We can talk about it if you want."

"nah. it's nothin', really." I don't wanna blow my chance at that.

"If you say so." And with that, he was off to take someone's order as I teleport back home to think about what I was thinking previously.


((767 Words. Well then, that was quite the 4 days. I'm surprised I'm done. I would have expected it to be done later tonight at my friend's house. As a head's up, I will NOT be writing the chapter tomorrow, Saturday May 19 from 7:00AM to 1:00PM CST (8:00AM to 2:00PM EST, 6:00AM to 12:00PM MST, or 5:00AM to 11:00AM PST) due to a parade I have to attend for my school band. It is a required performance, and to me education is more important than writing. Writing is my hobby, therefore all my normal things like school, family, and friends always come first. Anyway, that's all. Bye!))
