New Soul (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 7. Dating Concerns

Y/N's P.O.V

I'm currently highly confused on what happened. Everything went by too quickly for me to be able to register what was happening. The only things I'm completely aware of is the fact that I have 3 monsters who acknowledged the fact that I'm not human and that Papyrus and I have a 'date.' Doesn't sound bad, right? Aha, but classic old me, not knowing those sorts of human terms. I don't know anyone around here except Sans and Papyrus. I'm pretty sure Papyrus expected me to know what a date was, especially since I was the one who agreed to it, so I guess I'll just ask Sans. Hopefully, he doesn't have a problem with me asking him things like this.

I turned around, ready to get this thing over with, but then it hit me: How will I know where Papyrus went if I didn't even pay attention to the direction he supposedly sprinted off to? I looked down. There were footprints in the... what do they call it? Snow? Yeah. There was footprints in the snow, and it looked like they belonged to Papyrus. Wondering where they would lead to, I followed it. My curiosity had lead me to a... house? I've seen these in the upper world. There were so many of them up there!! Apparently, this is the only one down here that looks like one from up there. I didn't wanna be rude and just knock on the door, not knowing whose house this is, so I decided to look around.

I walked the left side of the house. There, two boxes were planted in the snow. One was empty, and was labeled 'PAPYRUS.' The other was overflowing with papers. It was labeled 'sans.' These boxes looked like the ones certain houses in the upper world have. I forgot what they were called, but I'm now pretty sure this house belongs to the skeleton brothers. I lifted my hand, ready to knock, until the door swung open. It swung open to reveal Sans, wearing his classic, unforgettable grin. "Heya kiddo." He greeted. I just waved, still surprised by how Sans knew that I was about to knock. Out of the blue, Papyrus knocked Sans out of the way with his hips and stood in front of the door. "HELLO H-- ERR... ALIEN. I SEE YOU ARE READY FOR OUR DATE!" He greeted. I don't understand how he can be this loud and not need to rest his voice. "YOU MUST BE SERIOUS ABOUT THIS DATE. THE GREAT PAPYRUS WILL TAKE YOU SOMEWHERE SPECIAL. SOMEWHERE WHERE I LIKE TO SPEND TIME AT!" He boomed. Papyrus stepped outside of the house, grabbed me with an extremely tight grip, and dragged me away from his house.

For what felt like forever, I was being dragged in the cold snow. It wasn't that I minded the snow and the cold, I just really minded the dragging. Finally, he let go of my arm. As soon as he did so, I lifted myself up and wiped the snow from my face. I look up, just to see that we were back at the brothers' house. Does this mean that I was dragged for eternity for nothing?? Eh. It doesn't matter. "HERE WE ARE! MY HOUSE!" Papyrus announces. I'm so glad he didn't notice that I jumped at how loud he was. He opened the door, walked in, then let me walk in. Surprisingly, their house was pretty warm for a house that's surrounded by cold. "WELCOME TO MY HOUSE, ALIEN!" Papyrus welcomed. Although him calling me an 'alien' made me feel a bit uncomfortable, I let him do it. Besides, being an alien is better than being an human, especially in a place like this. "GO AHEAD AND LOOK AROUND." He said. And that is what I did.

I wasn't really looking around in curiosity, though. Well, not yet. I just needed to find Sans first. I haven't seen him ever since papyrus pushed him out of the way. Is he mad? No, that's impossible! I walked into a nice sized room. It had plenty of furniture in it. I saw something like this in the ruins. What did Toriel say it was? A kitchen? Yeah, that. I noticed Sans drinking red liquid out of a bottle labeled 'Ketchup.' He removed the bottle from his mouth and looked at me. Sans raised his empty hand lazily and said, "Hey again, kiddo." What's with these creatures and them giving me nicknames? I slowly approached Sans, getting ready to ask him my lingering question. "Uhm... Sans, what's a date?" I asked so innocently. I could've sworn I saw him jump back and blush for a split second. He hesitated for a second before responding, "Uhm... eheh... Well uh- you see, a date is when two people hang out on a schedule and... err- get to know each other better... and to build a relationship or make it stronger?" He attempted to explain.
