Deltarune: Things I Never Told You

Preparation

"Sans, you've got to be kidding me," I say, pacing back and forth in his living room. "That is NOT an optio-"

"It's our only option, Frisk! I can't just teleport myself there. That's not how it works." He exhales. "Besides, who knows. This could be good for all of you, with all of the, you know."

I stop pacing and stare into the hearth. "Why is this happening now? How many other worlds are there, Sans?" I push my hands farther into my jean pockets. Other than this, it was nice to wear informal things again, becoming myself again. I had become so engrained with working, that I had forgotten what being normal felt like.

"Listen kid, I can't tell you exactly how many there are. One decision and there's 2. Something else and there's 50. I can't predict that. But what I can tell you is that if we don't attempt to help this world, there could be things far worse than Kris getting some scrapes and bruises." He finishes, sitting down in front of the flames. He hugs his knees to his chest and pats the floor for me to sit.

I sit, and lean against him, trying to take it all in. "Who's going back then? Us three, Kris and the girl? That's a huge party." I yawn, trying to relax. "I'm not entirely sure that Papyrus should come. He seems a little more uneasy than he used to be, is everything okay?"

He shrugs. "I dunno. I've never had my heart broke like you did his, Frisk. He's not been the same since you both stopped talking for good. And that was 5 years ago."

"He couldn't stop taking about you when you came back yesterday. It was, 'Should I talk to her? Take her out for dinner? I don't know Sans,' and other things like that the entire night." He shifts, looking sideways at me. "You better not string him along, Frisk. It won't end well for you. The first time, I get it. Lots of stress, lots of killing, something had to give... but now, its different. Don't fuck with my brother's heart."

I nod. "I understand. I don't know how I feel either, okay? If Kris is our only common ground at this point, then we should think about something else, but... I feel like things are gonna settle out, you know?" I shrug. "I just need for him to be satisfied with himself. I know I can't do that anymore." I lie on my back and stare at the ceiling. "This will be some adventure, huh?"

He smirks, poking at the fire. "Just like old times."
