Just One Night

Housewarming

It had been little more than a week before life had turned into a routine for the young couple. Frisk was often busy with her duties as the royal ambassador, her responsibilities often required her to catch up on work at home. Sans was beside her every step of the way, helping where he could and even when he couldn't help, he just stayed by her side telling jokes or giving her encouragement when it was needed. He never expressed anything other than strength and support for her and her work, for that she was grateful. She couldn't ask for a better boyfriend.

Sans however had been gone from the apartment during the days. He began a job hunt in the area, seeing what might be able to fill his time in this new city. Employment was hard to come by, for most employers did not want a skeleton to work in their shops. Many screamed and called him a walking menace while others just shivered and fearfully informed him that the position had been filled. He stayed optimistic through it all, not once letting on to his inner turmoil. He knew this would happen, coming to the surface had always been a challenge for monsters, even more so for the ones that weren't able to fit into the "cute and cuddly" category.

This was how their days were spent until one day, about two weeks along into their move, a thundering banging was overheard on their front door. The young couple bolted off the sofa in dazed confusion before scurrying to the door and flinging it open, Sans ready to cuss out the stranger. But when the door opened up, the person at the door only scooped him up into long bony arms.

"BROTHER, HUMAN, IT IS I THE GREAT PAPYRUS ALONG WITH OUR FRIENDS HERE TO HAVE A PARTY IN YOUR HONOR!"

Sans coughed and sputtered at the fierce hug that he had been snatched into.

"G-Good to s-see you too Paps.." Sans choked out.

Undyne placed a scaly arm on the younger brother's arm and like magic Sans was free.

"Yes, we're all here! We thought we'd drop by and check out your new place, punk!" She flashed a toothy smile at the happy human.

Frisk helped Sans stand and smiled to all her friends and family, "Please come in everyone! Although I do apologize, we don't have too much furniture yet. We were going to go shopping this weekend."

Leading the way out of the entrance, Sans, Papyrus, Mettaton, Toriel, Asgore, Undyne, Alphys, and surprisingly Flowey had filed into the small apartment. They all took in the surroundings and murmured words of praise and support.

Toriel was the first to approach the couple, her voice laced with concern, "My child, how have you been faring here in the city? I hope they have been treating you well."

Frisk smiled and hugged her goat mother, for that was what she was, her mother.

"Yes, momma. I'm fine, but they do keep me busy," She chuckled. Toriel smiled in relief and brought her daughter into her own embrace before gently scolding the small human.

"You should call more. I want to hear how you are doing out in the humans' world. I know we can't protect you from everything and that you are a grown woman, but you will always be my child."

She nodded before being wrapped into another embrace, this one cold, yet warm. She recognized the cold and steely grip of Mettaton as he lifted her high into the air.

"Darling, it has been a while! You simply must come on the show and tell us of your time in the human world!" He smiled down at her proudly.

She nervously chuckled, "It's gonna have to wait for a bit longer, it seems nothing interesting is happening right now. But more importantly, how are you and Papyrus doing? I know it must be a bit different living together now."
