act i | always here

Note: The timeline is messed up for the underground because of the reloads and loads Frisk does, so time is very slow for them - as for above ground. It is much faster but since Reader is in contact with Sansy-boi, she is experiencing timewarps and loops.

this is fast burn for sans, and Slow burn for Reader, okay? Okay.

Sans absolutely adored talking to you. Everything was different and pure that he never noticed that time went on without him. You were your energetic self, telling about your day and that weird animal you saw, or when you'd go to the mountain to scream at the sky, take photos or simply enjoy the quietness.

There was even a time where you stood at the entrance of the underground - that Sans had told you to go back down the hill. Away from his imprisonment and somewhere safe, somewhere far from him.

He still had no idea how you looked like, and he had to go get his phone upgraded to be able to see photos you sent - it was never of you, though. It was mostly weird things you saw throughout your day of of the mountain; saying how beautiful it was and that you wished he could see it one day.

Of course, you didn't know how he looked like either. Not that he'll ever tell you - only when the time is right.

Sans absolutely adored talked to you. You were so energetic that he couldn't help but match your energy - giving him hope that someday, this whole reset thing would stop and he'd be able to be happy standing next to you.

Until one day that is.

It had been a month or two since the days repeating on your end, and it wasn't as slow as Sans thought it was. Everything moved at a warm pace, slow and steady like how the day's are supposed to run - no child twisting time and returning to a certain point of save. It was bliss and slow.

That crashed when you had ended up texting him, begging him to answer your phone call. He knew that something was instantly wrong - so he told you to wait a few minutes - and he blipped towards Alphys.

The scientists was in the middle of talking to Frisk - another load? Whatever. As long as it didn't hurt anyone, him, Papyrus or you Sans couldn't give two shits about what the kid did.

He ignored the sounds of applause from Mettaton and walked towards Alphys - she must've seen the urgency in his features before fast-forwarding Mettaton's Interview.

"Ah-ah!" The robot jest. Wiggling his fingers side to side, his attention now on Sans. He rolled his eyelights and ignored him.

However, Mettaton didn't get the memo as he rolled towards him and pulled Sans into a side hug. "Rumours has been floating around the underground that a very - very special monster has your attention."

Sans shot Frisk an accusing glare, they shrunk down with a sheepish smile. Alphys behind him could be heard gasping and Sans wanted to do nothing but blast this guy into the next timeline.

"sorry, bud. but I don't find anybody robust." he half-smiled. shrugging his mechanically arm from his shoulders before turning to Alphys. "I needa talk to ya' though."

He nearly growled when Mettaton tried to touch his arm, the robot recoiled and quickly masked it with laughter. "Oh you~!" He coo'd before turning his attention back on a tensed Frisk, leaving both him and Alphys alone.

Sans sighed deeply. "i'm sorry for dropping in unexpectedly - but i needa have my phone updated. Enough to accept phone calls."

"b-but I u-updated yo-your phone....tw-two weeks ago?"

had it really been two weeks? Felt longer than that - then again, he had been dissociated for a bit when it came to you. Maybe that was it?

"uh yeah. turns out i need the phone call mod added in, too."
