I Am Myself (Frans)

Chapter Twelve

I was walking up the hill and thinking about everything that was happening.

I really didn't want to cut my friends off, but Chara scared me. They have been able to take control over me and almost hurt Sans. I couldn't always push them back, I was slowly losing my determination to do so.

But the thing Undyne said made me think. My friends are the thing giving me my determination. And I have never felt better about Chara then with Sans. I have never felt better that with Sans period.

Really? This disgusting thing you've got for trashbag is only gonna get you hurt.

I've learned to ignore their remarks.

I was out of breath before reaching the top of the hill.

Damn Sans and his teleportation, I bet he will just pop in there like ten minutes later and forget the blanket...

I had an apology gift for ignoring him in my backpack. A bottle of ketchup of an expansive brand with a bit of spice in it.

When I was finally at the top, the sun was already going down. I looked around to see... What?

Not only there was the fluffy blanked ready, laid out in the grass, there was a whole picnic feast ready on it - sandwiches, fruits and veggies, salty chips and more. There was also a bottle of wine and two tall glasses. Behind all of that stood a telescope for watching the stars.

That fucker knows how to get close to a girl.

Was that... a compliment?

Oh god no, are you insane!?!! No fancy dinner is gonna make me trust that trash.

Someone touched my arm and made me snap out of it.

"hi, kid. whadya think?" it was just Sans, smiling at me.

"I.. just wow, I have no words." I said and I hugged him, "It's missing one thing though!"

Sans let go of the hug and watched me reach into the backpack. I pulled out the ketchup.

"wow, bud, you really didn't have to. this is a very good one! i thought i'd drink wine with you today, but this changes things." he seemed genuinely happy about it.

"I just wanted to apologize about cutting you off, it was not fair of me-..."

"hey, let's leave this for later, ok? we have some food to eat here and i think i saw some hungry ants sneaking around... by the way, the wine is char- i mean alcohol free."

With that, he led me to the blanket. We poured a glass, started eating and talked. It was just like before, all the fun and genuinity, as if nothing happened, but just more... romantic, I guess.

Chara was quieter and only commented about how "gross everything is" a few times.

When all stars came out, we laid on our backs and watched them in silence for a few moments.

"so, i have to ask you a few things..." Sans started and I could see he was tensed up.

"Go ahead." Was I scared of what he was gonna ask? I didn't even know.

"well, first of all, what was the true reason for ignoring me and others?"

Easy question to answer to him, since he knows about Chara.
"So, after what happened at the party - I mean about Chara - I got scared... I never wanted to hurt anyone and seeing them take over so easily..."
Sans' tension was lost.

"so it was about chara. brat."

Trashbag.

"Your feelings for each other are mutual."
