Sans' POV:

i walk to the deepest part of snowdin forest.

it's been four months since a human's arrived.

that's the longest streak now.

we're actually not sure if a human's gonna come today or not.

paps said the camera there was either broken or malfunctioning, so i hadda go over there to see myself.

while i was walking along the road, i see the giant door.

it opens, and i swiftly hide behind trees.

a girl comes out. a little, human girl.

my eyes widen. i can't stop looking at her.

the girl suddenly collapsed onto the snowy ground.

oh jeez---

i run over to her. she seemed unconscious.

i carry her and "took a shortcut" to my old house in snowdin.

i place her body on paps' old bed.

i feel her forehead to check if she's sick.

nope. no fever.

i bet she'll want something to eat once she wakes up.

i take a shortcut back to new home, right on time to make spaghetti.

my bro sees me. "OH, HELLO, SANS! I WAS JUST ABOUT TO COOK! SO, HAVE ANY HUMANS COME BY, YET?"

i act normal and lie, "no, not at all."

my bro replies "OH. WELL, THAT'S OKAY. JUST GO OVER THERE ONCE WE FINISH HERE, OKAY?"

i nod "yeah, okay."

for a little while, me and papyrus cook some pasta and i was to deliver them to the monsters.

it took me about thirty minutes. but i got all of 'em.

alright. time to check on the girl.

i take the shortcut back to the house and she's still sleeping.

huh, since this house is pretty old, and we also happen to live in the middle of the snow, it's bound to get really cold here.

i don't really have skin to feel it bit i can tell.

i take off my jacket and put it on her.

i take a chair and lift it right next to her. i sit down. and i place an extra plate of spaghetti and a cup of warm water on the desk.

(don't worry, paps' cooking actually improved for the past few months.)

you must be wonderin', why am i saving a human?

uhh... well... this may sound weird and insane but...

i'm in love with her.

yep. i'm in love with a human. a human i don't even know of.

a human who i'm supposed to kill.

but i don't wanna kill her.

hmm... paps only commands to kill humans only if he knows humans are here.

so what if i don't let him know?

i could hide this girl from cameras and such, so then he wouldn't tell me to kill her.

i'm not sure how i'm not gonna let flowey know, though...

it may be the wrong thing to do, but... it may also be a right thing to do.

i hear groaning. i'm suddenly pulled out of my own thoughts.

she's waking up. her eyes open.

she sees me. she quickly sits up and moves inches away from me.

"Ahh!! Please, don't kill me!" she begs.

i guess she's already aware that monsters try to kill her. or maybe she's naive. i dunno which one i'd assume.

i stand up. "hey, it's alright! i'm not gonna kill you!"

she stares at me.

i look at her awkwardly. "um... hi. i'm sans, sans the skeleton. i'm... uh... a servant of the king but i won't hurt you."

she relaxes a little and say, "I'm... Katherine."

"katherine? that's... a nice name." i compliment.

she looks away from me. "Thanks." she then looks down and notices my jacket. "Um... Is this yours?"

i blush. "y-yeah, i thought you'd get cold so..."

she smiles. "Thank you."

i look away awkwardly. "yeah, no problem. oh, i got ya something to eat. if you're hungry."

she sees the cup of water and plate of spaghetti on the desk. "Oh, alright. Thanks."

i bring the food to her and she eats it.

"So..." she says after swallowing a forkful of spaghetti. "who's the king?"

"oh, uhh, the king... his name is papyrus the skeleton... he's my brother." i answer.

"Your brother?" she looks at me with surprise. "If the king is your brother, why aren't you a prince or something? Why are you a servant?"

i answer, "it's complicated, but we had a king before. me and my bro were just normal monsters. but then a human fell down here and killed the king. that's how my bro ascended to the throne. and i swore to him to make him happy by being his servant."

"Oh." katherine says, looking down. "That must be tragic. And I bet being a servant is hard work."

i nod. "it is. but i never complained about it. in fact, i actually loved doing things for my bro and seeing him smile everyday. besides, i'm not papyrus' only servant after all. but that... uh... doesn't matter too much."

katherine looks away for a moment.

"Is your brother strict?" she asks.

i look at her in confusion. but i answer honestly. "sort of."

she says, "My brother can be pretty mean sometimes, too."

"you have a brother?" i ask.

"Uh... Stepbrother, actually." she takes a sip of water.

suddenly my cell phone rang.

"uh 'scuse me." i say before taking the call. it's papyrus.

"SANS HAVE YOU FINISHED DELIVERING THE SPAGHETTI??" my brother asks.

"yep." i say casually.

"REALLY? WOWIE! WELL, THAT'S SETTLED!" my brother hangs up.

katherine chuckled upon hearing this.

then we both stay quiet for about a half minute, not making eye contact.

"hey," i say eventually. "do you... wanna... go somewhere?"

she looks at me and smiles. "Sure."
