Just One Night

Change

Frisk blushed a terrible crimson before snatching her hand out of his pants and yanking her shirt back over her exposed chest.

"Y-Y-You guys weren't supposed to be back until tomorrow!" She stuttered in her immense embarrassment and mortification. She was just grateful that her robotic friend hadn't actually brought his camera crew along.

Papyrus only cringed at the horrible sight before him, "YES, BUT WE DECIDED TO COME HOME EARLY. WE HAVE SOME ARRANGEMENTS TO DISCUSS." his voice no longer loud with confidence, just shock.

Mettaton rested his hand against his lovers shoulder before dragging him out the door. He called over his shoulder, "Darlings, we're just going to go back to my place." He didn't falter in his stride, booking it out the front door and down the snowy path, getting the hell away from the flustered couple.

Sans stood stock still, his face fully alight with a blush so vibrant he glowed. With a sigh he used his magic to slam and lock the door behind the escaping duo.

"I-I'm sorry, love. I-I didn't think-" she apologized.

"Don't be. Granted t-that isn't something I wanted them to see, but it wasn't intentional. They'll get over it." His voice was steady, not betraying the inner turmoil going on in his mind.

"You're right," she agreed quietly, "but there is something I had wanted to discuss with you anyway.."

She shuffled from one foot to another in her nervousness. She kept her eyes downcast, afraid to ask the question. She didn't know how to feel, maybe it was too soon? But maybe it wasn't? After all they had been together close to six months now.

She steeled her heart, determination rising. Yes, this would be perfectly fine, it had to be.

The skeleton walked up resting a hand on her cheek, lifting her face up gently. His eyes trained onto hers, silently offering her courage.

"Go ahead. I'm right here."

"W-Well, it's just that.. um..."

He ruffled her hair lightly, sending her hair flying into random directions atop her head.

His voice held a slight hint of playfulness, "c'mon kid, surely it ain't that bad."

She huffed and smoothed down her hair the best that she could but only nodded. It wasn't that bad. Just.. new.

"Yeah, no. It's a good thing, at least I hope so. Um, so you know how the council has been trying to convince me to be closer to their headquarters?"

He nodded, not really following.

"Well, it just so happens that they've finally pushed until I can't say no anymore. So, by the end of this month, I have to move into an apartment aboveground."

He nodded, silently taking in everything she had said. He didn't vocalize how much he worried for her safety or how she would fare aboveground. The only times she really went into the humans' world was when they were low on food or when it was absolutely necessary for her presence.

"So, have they given you an apartment aboveground, or are you expected to be find your own housing?" He offered conversationally.

She nodded quickly, smiling in hope and anticipation, "Yes, they've found a place for me a few miles away from the townhouse. From what I hear it's in a fairly nice area and close to a few shops. But, what I really wanted to ask was if you would like to move with me?"

"Are you sure you want me to move in with ya, kid? Not that I'm saying no, but it will be more.. private."

She nodded quickly. The concerns he vocalized were something she had already thought about and considered. True, they lived under one roof together now, but Papyrus and his boyfriend were constantly coming and going. Where they moved now wouldn't be too far from home so they could come back and visit often, but it also meant that they wouldn't have to worry about privacy. They would have the place to themselves.

"Well, if you want to move then I'll definitely be tagging along," he chuckled and pulled her into a warm embrace.

In all honesty they were both nervous at the prospect of being totally alone, but determined excitement passed between the couple. They kissed briefly before climbing the stairs and getting to work on packing.

After about an hour or two, the pair had finally finished up cleaning Sans' room before deciding that packing could be left for later. It had taken all their energy just to pick up after the lazy bones. But now they could see carpet! Frisk could only pray that they didn't run into anymore problems later on. There was much to be done and so little time to do it..

Sensing her worries, Sans scooped her up off his floor and teleported them to waterfall. He knew this was one of her favorite places to be, what with the gentle whispers of the echo flowers, the dim lighting that made the cave walls glisten like jewels, and the softly rushing waterfalls were by far her favorite. The very air coursed with magic, almost like a tranquility had been blessed upon the endless cavern. This place always made her happy, for it was like a cozy paradise.

The pair reappeared by the water's edge. He set her down by the water before unceremoniously dropping himself onto the cavern floor. While the human girl tried to get over the slight dizziness that teleporting caused, he had already dunked his feet into the cool water and wrapped an arm around her shoulders, pulling her to his side.

Together they stared out into the rippling pool, thinking about what their future may hold. But they knew as long as they had one another there was no obstacle they couldn't overcome.
