Reds eyes opened.. He looked around, he saw Sans asleep on the floor in a ball and was confused. "Hey..Sans?" He turned over and sat up "Morning...well..night actually. You feeling better?" He looked away, his face a bit red. "Uh..yeah.. I guess I'll be okay now.. I just.. Don't laugh okay?" Sans had no idea where he was going with this. "I won't." He looked away "i.. Didn't know where to go.. Or who to go to.. But.. I needed someone.. My brother would call me weak and probably beat me until the pain knocked me out. So.. I.. Ran to you.. " Sans sighed "hey, i told you , I'm here for you.. But.. Can you at least admit we're friends..?" Red smiled a bit "..yeah.. I guess we are huh..? I did pass out on ya.. And steal ya bed.. Heh..sorry" Sans shrugged "not about to just leave ya in the snow, you'd freeze down to the bone." Red chuckled and sighed softly "Sans..? Uh..Thank you.. For..everything.." Sans blushed and looked away. "Uh.. No prob.. Again i know what it's like to feel alone and like no one cares and no one listens...but.. I care, and I'll listen to you.. So tell me anything.. Okay..?" Red looked down to hide his face and nodded softly. Sans laid back down. "Go back to bed, I'll get ya some food in the morning. Wake me up if ya have any nightmares or just want to chat, i can sleep whenever so I'll be fine missing a hour or two, kay?" Red smiled with his face deep red, he laid back down. "Just lay down with me, don't lay on the floor, it's your bed. Get up here" Sans blushed deeply and cleared his throat, getting up and carefully laying down. "If you insist.. But don't get freaked if i end up with an arm around you, i usually do that to my pillow, that you're using. So keep that in mind." Red shrugged "thanks for warning me but i don't Care." Sans smirked and chuckled a little "hey, just warning you. I don't know how i sleep with anyone else in my bed. Been years since my bro needed my help to sleep." Red smiled a bit "heh.. I remember those days too.. Feels like so long ago.." Sans sighed "it's sad.. They'll never know just how long ago that was.." Red nodded "memories are all that matter to me... Even if he may not remember it, i do" Sans smiled "Paps doesn't remember a lot, gladly.. Life is.. Not easy." Red nodded and closed his eyes and fell asleep. Sans joined in soon after, he did wrap an arm around Red, as an excuse though,not that he would tell him so.

Red woke up and gasped, he looked at Sans, relaxing when he saw he was okay..he wasn't sure why he cared.. But .. He did. He went to bed again quietly. Sans grippes his own chest as he woke up, he coughed a bit as his eye was glowing.. He calmed down and shook. Seemed Red was either gone or maybe in the bathroom. Sans sighed, he herd Red so he just followed after he calmed down. He was talking to Papyrus. "Oh, hello Red, what are you doing here..? I didn't notice you." Red scratched his head a little "uh..sorry, fell asleep talking to your bro so he kinda just let me stay here for the night. Sorry about that bro." Papyrus went to hug Red, his eye glew deep red, Papyrus moved, Red growled softly and shook out of it. "Sorry, it's not you.. I just.. Don't like when my bro hugs me so when you tried i got a bit on edge, sorry" Papyrus looked a little upset but nodded, Sans walked in and waved a bit. Red wasn't wearing shoes so he saw just how much taller he was then Red was. Red had more bulk then him though. Red blushed a bit "ay, quit stareing asshole.." Sans blinked and facepalmed "sorry Red, just a bit out of it.. " Red nodded "same here i guess.. Look, i need to go home or.. " Sans looked at him with a slightly mad look, he looked away. "S...sans i don't have a choice.. Okay? I have to or boss will kill me.. So.. Please let me go home." Sans sighed "eat first, and I'll go with you.."
Red nodded a bit "not hungry but I'll eat anyway i guess. You won't let me go otherwise..will you?" Sans smiled and nodded no. Red looked down and sighed. He was always frowning as Sans noticed. "Here, take the mustard and eat it later.. Okay?" He nodded and drank a little before they walked out, Red started to smoke and Sans looked a bit unhappy. Red glared at him "not like this shit gunna kill me anyway, so why should you or anyone else give a fuck?" Sans gripped Reds jaw and he blushed and looked away "S..sans.. Um..can you let me go please..? If you don't.. Next time you won't get a warning.." Sans hand shook "i don't want to see you getting hurt, or hurting yourself.. " Red blushed and growled, slapping Sans hand away from his face "look i have no clue why you care so much about me, but stop. You'll just end up wasting your time and efforts.." Sans clenched his fist , he went to punch Red but he ducked and grabbed it. His face stern and annoyed, different from before he gave warning. He started twisting Sans wrist, he yanked it back. Red dashed at Sans and lunged with a knife, Sans backed up and grabbed it. "Red.. I'm sorry, relax..okay? I just don't want you thinking like that, it upsets me more then I'm able to explain. Raiseing my fist at you was stupid in my part, it's not something i would normally do.. Just.. Seeing you this way makes me so mad and I'm not sure why.. " Red snarled but put the knife away, panting. "You're damn lucky i give any fucks about you.. Now get to walking. The later i am the worse off I'll be.."Sans grabbed Reds hand, he blushed and looked at him "Why do you keep stopping me.. It's pissing me off.." Sans pulled Red close to him and grippes his chin softly, Red started sweating and his eyes moved back and forth a lot. "S..sans.. What are you doing.." Sans shook his head a bit and let him go "heh... Sorry, not sure what i was thinking." He touched Reds mouth a bit and touched his golden tooth. "I'm curious.. Did your brother do this to you..?" Red looked away, sweating yet blushing at the same time. "...yes, i.. I made him mad.. I can't even remember exactly what i did wrong.. He stepped on my skull and broke my tooth, why do you think my skull is cracked..?" Sans hand shook.. How..? Why would his brother be so awful?"Red.. You don't have to tolerate his abuse.. Stay with me, i promise i can keep you safe.." Red shook and went to move away. Sans gripped his face, lightly rubbing it. "I won't let him hurt you.. I'll keep you safe.. I'll try my best..just..please.. Let me help you." Red closed his eyes and nodded "okay.. Fine, if it makes you happy you can try to be my knight in shitty armour if you want.. But i ain't leaving all my shit with my bro.. If ya gunna help me ima need my shit.."Sans nodded "is he home?" Red shook his head "probably not, he usually isn't home much.. But that doesn't mean we should let our guards down.. Kay?" Sans nodded "I'm not a violent person, but i protect my friends no matter what." Red just nodded, he took Sans hand and teleported to the other side of the barrier. Fell papyrus was at his post, not at home. Red sighed and went inside. A lot of the house seemed more of a torture chamber then a home. Sans stayed quiet, a slight look of worry on his face while he went with Red to his room. "If you laugh I'll kill you." He grabbed a old looking stuffed bear, a blanket and some clothes. "Kay.. Its whatever, let's book it" Sans nodded softly and they snuck away quickly. Red sighed and sweat quite a bit.. It was obvious he was scared and nervous about this idea. "S..sans..i.. I'm not sure this is a good idea i.." Sans pat his head "It'll be fine. I told you I'll keep you safe, right? You trust me?" Red looked down "i..ill try.. I've learned not to trust anyone.. It's how my world used to work... I.. Can't just adjust to living so peaceful and shit.. Aight? I knows ya understand. " Sans sighed and nodded "yep, I've made my mistakes.. I understand a bit, I'll try to understand as much as i can." Red sighed and they just walked around in the snow. Red stopped and laid down in the snow with his eyes closed. "Ya know.. I've never been allowed to have friends? Never been able to be happy or show any real.. Emotions becides bein pissed most the time.. I get shit for just about anythin i do.. Got my shit beat more times then i can remember, then prob more while i was fuckin knocked out from being beaten the shit out of.. " he sighed and grit his teeth a bit. Sans laid next to him and grabbed his hand, rubbing it softly. He didn't really realize it much and just kept chatting. "Fuckin sucks.. In pain every fuckin day cuz that asshole likes ta try and make me be his fuckin mutt or some shit.. Been tryin to give up for so damn long that i can't even feel pain that much somtimes. Shit hurts so bad i can't tell whats normal pain and what ain't.." Sans rubbed his hand over Reds, Red had no idea but he was crying while he spoke, until he started to shake, he covered his face with his free hand and sobbed quietly. "I just want all the pain to stop.. But it never stops.. Just being alive is so..soo..so painful.. I can't even look at myself without feeling disgusted.. Do you know how it feels? To break every mirror just because you can't stand how you see yourself.." Sans grabbed Red and held him while he sobbed on him. Sans was about to do the same... He usually had to hide his emotions.. But he knew it was safe to be himself. He held Red "hey.. It's okay.. I won't hurt you.. " he took Reds arm and kissed it. "I won't let you hurt youself anymore.. I'll do my best to help you.." Red blushed and stared wide eyed "a...a... S..sans..? You uh..just " Sans put a kiss on his mouth, he blushed deeply and shook a bit, and looked away after pulling away, hiding his face into the snow. Sans grabbed his own mouth "f..fuck.. Sorry i.. Have no idea what got into me.. Heh.." Red was so flustered and supprised "i..i..its..o..okay just.. No ones ever.. Done that before.. Ever.. So.. It felt ..nice but.. Weird? N..not that I'm saying it was bad just.. I..dont know .." He looked away. "I.. Didn't think i was even likeable.. At all.. Less alone that way..." Sans gulped and blushed also. "Well.. I just.. I dont know but i feel like i have to protect you and keep you safe.. Even more so then i have before.. I know how much you need someone.. And how much you hurt.. And how much you've screamed and cried all alone.. I don't want to watch you shatter.. I .. Heh sorry i know it's sudden for me to feel that way huh? I've always gotten attached too easily.. I guess that's my weakness.. Not that I've kissed anyone before anyway.. Becides paps when he was a kiddo.. And frisk at times, ya know?" Red nodded a bit "n.n..i..its..o..okay i.. I.. Was curious about you.. I found you really intresting.. How no one calls you weak.. You have so many friends.. I.. Look up to you .. A lot.. " Sans blinked a bit "I'm not sure why you would, i do have some friends sure, but I'm not the most social person. People just seem to like being around me, I'm honestly not much of a people person actually.." Red nodded a little "i.. I wish i had people i could talk to, i.. I wish i could just open up without being pushed around like some lap dog no one wanted.."
Sans gave a half assed smile and sighed, flopping on his back again, Red decided it best to do the same thing. "You aren't unwanted, not to me at least. I know I'm not much, but hopefully i help a little bit at least?" Red sighed "you do help, I'm just.. So far gone I'm not sure what's helping and what isn't anymore.. Or.. Maybe yet? Both? Both." Sans started to Pet Red, he blushes and made a noise that was a mix between a purr and a grumble, which Sans thought was cute and funny, he smiled. "That's really cute, you know?" Red jerked away and pouted "fuck you, asshole." Sans smiled softly, it started snowing a bit more, Red hid his face with his hoody, which made him pass out in a matter of seconds. Sans felt his hand go limp and tugged it, he started to snore a bit. Sans sighed "guess that's all the energy he had in him for today.. Poor guy" he softly lifted him over his shoulders and took a shortcut home. Paps was cooking as per usual. "Oh hello Sans! I made dinner!" Sans shushed him "ey a... Thanks paps, I'll have some later. Gotta set up a bed for Red. Had a rough day, needs a place to stay for a bit. Kay?" Papyrus nodded and waved. Sans unlocked his room and moved some trash and the treadmill out of the way "not sure why i don't use this thing more.. Maybe i should." He folded it down and got a spare mattress from his closet, laying it close to his own. He put a sheet on it and took Reds bear and blanket, setting him on the bed with them. He softly growled while grabbing them in his sleep. Sans had to move to avoid getting his hand shredded by his teeth and claws. "Sheesh.. " he laid down and got an idea, his face flushed blue and he lightly slapped himself "cut it out sans... He's a friend.. Nothing else.. Don't push it" he looked at him sleeping. He was chewing on his blanket and drooling, Sans thought he looked like an angry sleepy puppy. He had a feeling things would be getting a bit more interesting soon.
