-GIVING IN-
Sans stood in the snow looking at the now piles of dust that were strewn across the ground. His eyes grew dark as he stuffed his hands in his jacket pockets.
"I knew things were to good to be true.."
You were hanging out with papyrus learning how to do puzzles. You liked Papyrus alot, so much that you could say you loved both him and sans. You didn't quite get it but they were different for being monsters. You've only known them shortly but you felt very safe with them. Back on the surface where you came from you thought it was normal to be hurt and not care. But they seemed to care, they looked at you strangely, they fed you good food that was better than you could say you had ever gotten you. It confused you alot, why did you feel so happy with them. You laughed alot with them, you didn't think you could laugh, you were told not to be or feel anything. But this makes them look at you strange. Was it ok for you to feel the way you felt about them? They were warm just like Toriel, you loved it here. You wanted to stay, forever.
You payed close attention as Papyrus taught you how to do puzzles and the proper way to play in the snow and you found this more enjoyable than what you were told to do before.
"YOUR DOING GREAT HUMAN!, OH THATS RIGHT, I MUST FIND THAT OTHER HUMAN, ONCE I DO WE CAN ALL PLAY TOGETHER AND BE GREAT FRIENDS...BUT FIRST I MUST CAPTURE THEM" Papyurs said.
"WOULD YOU LIKE TO HELP ME LOOK TINY HUMAN?" You smiled happily and nodded your head to papyrus request.
You got off the snow and dusted yourself off. You began to run off in search and papyrus chased after you.
"WAIT HUMAN, NOT LIKE THAT "
You paused as you saw what looked like dust on the floor.
"YOU REALLY SHOULDNT RUN OFF LIKE THAT HUMA-" Papyrus went silent when he saw what you looked at.
"OH..." papyrus picked you up and you looked at him to see the forlorn look on his face.
You gently tugged on his scarf and pointed to it.
"...THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN MONSTERS, DIE HUMAN..."
Die...you didn't really know what it meant, but you understood it meant to go away forever. You had always been told to go away forever, that why and how you ended up here. And this was a great place, so they were in a good place right?
You looked at papyrus but he didn't seen very happy. You gently patted his head as if to tell him everything is alright and he looked at you and smiled. Papyrus began to walk away from the scene.
"EVERYTHING IS JUST FINE TINY HUMAN, THERE IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT" he said
You weren't worried , but you noticed he seemed worried and that made you feel worried.
Papyrus began heading back home with you but then paused. He placed you down on the snow and you looked up gently at him.
"HUMAN, DO YOU THINK YOU COULD GO BUILD A SNOWMAN OVER THERE?" he pointed a little further in the woods and you nodded your head with a smile.
Papyrus smiled as he watched you run off and then looked ahead him as he saw the other human approaching with a knife in hand. They were covered in dust along with the knife.
"THERE YOU ARE HUMAN...I HAD BEEN WONDERING WHAT YOU HAD BEEN UP TO, BUT I SEE ITS NOT SOMETHING GOOD"
They began to take a step forward.
"HALT HUMAN!"
"HEY- QUIT MOVING WHEN IM TALKING TO YOU!"
"HEY, I JUST SAID..UGH! THIS IS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT"
" I THE GREAT PAPYRUS HAVE SONETHING TO SAY. FIRST YOU DONT YOU LIKE PUZZLES AND THATS JUST FREAKING WEIRD"
"THE WAY YOU SHAMBLE...FROM PLACE TO PLACE...AND HOW YOUR HANDS ARE ALWAYS COVERED WITH POWDER"
........
You began playing in the snow and you were having fun but something felt off to you. Very off. You stood up and the snow off of you. You began to look around noticing Papyrus hadn't arrived yet. You decided to look for him.
You ran back all the way to where your last saw him and paused hidden behind the trees. Papyrus was speaking to another human child like you, but they seemed much older. They held a knife in their hands that was coated with dust as they walked closer to Papyrus. You couldnt help the bad feeling that was beginning to build as you noticed the uneasy look on Papyrus face.
Your hands clenched the tree and you looked for the voice you didn't have to call out to him so you screamed.
"AHH!"
In the moment Papyrus head turned, noticing you, you distracted him when you wanted to warn him as the new child lunged at him. Before you knew it his head fell slowly down to the ground and in the snow with a thud.
You blinked as you registered everything. His body began to disappear but his head was still there so he was still alive, he was still speaking after all.
It was then when the child placed their foot above his head slowly cracking it did your legs begin to move and your started to run towards him. It cracked and he turned to dust.
You ran to the ground where his dust and scarf layed and you started grabbing it with confusion. You watched as it slipped through your hands.
"Another human?"
You looked up at the other child that did this and your eyes widened like deer caught in the headlights. The raised their weapon against you and the swing but you moved out the way only getting cut on your arm. You began to run with Papyrus scarf and dust in your hands as you escaped into the trees.
You grew to a running stop as you began to catch your breath. You sat on your knees and put the stuff you gathered down.
You learned alot of things from Papyrus and you learned you could create anything from snow so you would bring Papyrus back.
Using the mixture of snow and dust you managed to make the face of Papyrus in all his glory. You took his scarf and wrapped it around him and smiled at what you were able to do. You sat there and waited for him to say something, to talk but nothing happened. Only a snow mixed dust sculpture of himself looked at you. You patted the head of it beckoning it to say something but nothing happened. You then tried shaking it but it fell apart.
Your brows furrowed with confusion. Why didn't he speak, why wasn't this working? You built it over again and stared at it. You took the scarf and stood up in search of sans. He would know what to do after all.
