The Soul of Empathy

Chapter Twenty

Eye of the Storm

Taking out her soul he could tell it was cracked but not broken yet. Sans quickly pulled out the knife and bit his lip when her soul started to crack some more. He cupped her soul in his hands and started healing it. A cool blue light lit up the room as her soul slowly started to heal. Soon enough he was staring at a beautiful white glowing heart. He slowly pushed it back into her and watched Shadow open her ruby red eyes.

"Thanks, Sans", Shadow said softly reaching up to cup his face.

Sans leaned into her touch and held her hand there, "Anytime Shad."

Shadow slowly leaned up and pressed her lips to his in a soft kiss. Sans was shocked at first but carefully kissed her back. When they broke apart he was met with a soft smile.

Sans' face turned into a dark blue color. He really didn't expect her to kiss him. "What was that for Shad?"

"Saving my life again. It seems you always seem to save me before I die." Shadow said.

"In this timeline, I think. I have a feeling I failed you once, because of that I never want to be late again." Sans said with soft eyes.

"I trust you won't."

"Hey, Shad?" Sans' face blushed blue again.

"Yeah, Sans?"

"Wanna be my girl? I'd be awfully bonely without you." Sans smiled.

"You mean girlfriend Sans?" Shadow asked with a giggle.

"Yeah, that, at some point I'll even take you to the bone zone", Sans joked.

Shadow laughed and nodded at him, "Sure Sans I'll be your girlfriend. I see you have great timing for romantic things."

"Why but of course. The correct time to ask this is always moments like this." Sans laughed a little.

"Of course it is." Shadow giggled.

The two looked at each other for an awkward amount of time before finally getting up. They turned to Grillby and blushed to see him staring at them.

"It's also good to ask me out in front of my boss", Shadow muttered her face red in embarrassment.

"Yep, very good. In fact, everyone should do it." Sans replied with a small grin.

Grillby smiled at the two, "Finally, I thought you two would never be official. Now we need to get a new door. Shadow I'm glad your alive and okay. Mind cleaning up here for me?"

"Not at all boss!" With that Shadow got to work and Sans sat with Grillby at the bar. Both of them had a drink in their hands as they chated.

"How are you doing Grillbs? I know this has to be hard on you. Tiba honest I would have given in by now and destroyed those people. I think you're doing the right thing using your magic to protect Shadow, instead of fighting them." Sans said to his old friend.

"I'm not doing so great but I'm glad you think that Sans. I wasn't sure what to do. I never liked violence much. This is pretty hard for me to manage." Grillby replied to SAns.

"I would imagine. I think you're doing pretty great though."

"Thanks, Sans." The two sat there in silence for the rest of the day. Shadow was skittering around here and there cleaning things. Grillby had also called someone to replace the door. Once the door was replaced he told Shadow and Sans to head home while they closed shop.
