Shadows Of Remorse (CreepyPasta x Undertale)

Chapter 30 - Pillows

The pillows were just... obsessive.

It was understandable for the Creepypasta to all be worried about Sans. He was sick, his magic was wonky, and they had just learned that he had died before fighting a battle to sacrifice himself for people who ended up only betraying him. It made sense they would be a little bit worried.

But there were just way too many pillows.

"Laughing Jack, we have to talk about the pillows."

Sans wasn't exactly sure what to call the tall clown. Tally? Tallness #1 was his name on his now new phone, but it was just a nickname. He usually called him Laughing, it worked. The clown was always smiling or laughing, it was unusual at first, but now it's just normal.

At first, the pillows had started will Sally. She brought in her pillow to his room for Sans to have since she was worried about her. A cute little gesture, Sans thought it was sweet. After all, now that everyone knew he was full on sick, he was stuck in his room while they all tried to care for him.

Of course, it had went just as badly as expected. Sans was the only one who could cook, so they ended up just sending Tim over to fast food places just to get some food.

He seriously, seriously had to teach them how to cook. Oh, and Jeff how to drive. Maybe some times on manipulation and lying, some of them were really bad at it. He had a lot to teach them. Somehow these 'famous' and 'deadly' serial killers couldn't work an oven and couldn't tell Sans that they didn't just throw out another oven out of another window.

It started with the two pillows from Sally. She walked in, hugging them close to her chest while giving them that adorable face. It was her way of taking care of him while he was sick, so he accepted them and a hug from her. That was why Sans had three pillows, two behind him and one on his lap.

It only progressed worse.

Ben brought in both blankets and pillows for Sans, along with some totally homemade soup that he didn't open up a can for and microwave. That gave Sans a total of five pillows. Jeff followed suit with his own pillow, and Jane, wanting to outdo him in everything she did, brought four. At that point, his bed was littered in pillows, and it became a silly little joke.

That's why the others started bringing in more pillows. Eyeless jack brought in two, Hoodie brought two as well, and it just continued until Sans had around twenty pillows surrounding him. A bit excessive, but alright.

They had set it up around him as a 'protective fort' for anything that could hurt him. They were stationed around the bed as to protect him if he fell off. A bit weird, unusual, but it was in their nature.

But then, the pillows just kept coming.

At thirty, Sans was questioning where they were getting them. Ben simply smiled, Jeff laughed. At forty, Sans was seriously confused and buried in pillows. At fifty, he couldn't even see the bed, but they wouldn't let him leave the bed because he was still sick.

Then they had hit one hundred, courtesy of Laughing Jack,,. and Sans had to finally say something.

The pillows were everywhere at this point. All over the ground, on the furniture, even on the walls somehow. Laughing Jack had started working on the ceiling when Sans talked.

"What do you mean?" Laughing asked, turning as he stood on the ceiling.

"I understand you guys don't want my powers to get me hurt while I'm sick or anything, but... this is excessive." Sans gestured to the sea of pillows surrounding his little bed island. "I can't see the carpet anymore. Or anything but my head."

It was true. Sans was under a pile of pillows that covered everything but his skull, which was sticking out of a small hole that was created between the pillows. Every time he would move and knock the pillows off of him, Laughing Jack would instantly run to him to re-stack the pillows to keep 'his little potato safe'. Sans asked how he would eat, and the clown offered to feed him by hand.

"Aw, but you look so cute like a little potato burrito!" Laughing Jack cooed at him.

A blush covered Sans's face. "A little potato that would like to see something other than pillows. Dude, I-I'm fine."

"There's a bone sticking out of the wall now, Sans."

Looking over, Sans did in fact find a bone he must have summoned unconsciously in the wall next to him. "Oh. Interesting."

"What's going on in here?" Slender asked.

"Slennndddddeeerrrrr, Laughing Jack is refusing to let me move at all!" Sans whined, "I can't even reach the remote for my T.V to change the channel because he keeps slapping it away!"

"Would you like me to change it for you?" Slender asked him.

"No, do something about this!" Sans said.

The tall man sighed and looked over at the clown. "I do have to agree with Sans about this pillow situation though, Laughing Jack."

"Thank you." Sans said.

"There isn't enough. If he falls off the bed he could hurt himself on the edge of the nightstand. I'll go get some more."

Well, that didn't work as planned.

~~~~~~

To think that this would have happened.

Undyne looked down sorrowfully at the small spider standing on the table, Asgore bent down next to her and talking to it. Muffet was a powerful monster, how could this happen?

"Masked man," The spider was whispering to them, "It was a masked man. He came in so quickly, and he stepped on a few spiders on the way out."

"Was there any reason for him to do that?" Asgore asked.

Undyne glanced over at Papyrus. His skull was on the table, lacking any movement. Out of all of them, he was probably the worst affected by everything that's been happening. The skeleton regretted everything so much, he was a constant mess. She wanted to help, she really did, but she didn't know how. This situation wasn't a normal one, how was she supposed to go about this?

"I'm not sure, I'm sorry," The spider said, "But have my regards for your missing family member as well."

"You should be the one receiving our regards, as Muffet just passed away," Asgore said, "I'm sorry for your lose. We'll find this masked man."

"I wasn't as close to her as the others were, it's why I was the only one able to tell without breaking down," The spider explained, "But I wish you all good luck in reconnecting with him."

Papyrus let out a sop from his position, Undyne quickly moving over to comfort him awhile Asgore continued to talk to the spider.

Nothing seemed to go their way anymore.
