Monster or Beast?

A What?!

It had been a few weeks since Sans received the watch from Alphys. Honestly, he had thought that he would have lost it a while ago, or at least after the first night. Though it seemed that Alphys had thought ahead as the strap was stretchable and moldable in a sense. As it would seem to stretch with his body when it would transform into his beast form at night and then of course, mold itself to his form no matter what may come his way.

Honestly, that was a nice idea and he couldn't help but stare at the thing as he sat in his room. Staring at the watch as if it would hold the secrets to the whole universe, no matter if it was the universe that he lived in or just his own. He honestly didn't know but knew that it wouldn't give him the answers that he desperately sought.

Sighing softly, the young skeleton laid back on his bed, arms spread out as he stared at the ceiling. Over the course of the last couple of weeks he had spent trying to 'beast proof' his room to make sure that should he transform in his sleep like he did most nights, that he wouldn't be able to escape, nor would anyone be able to get into his room.

So far, it had worked and he was so thankful for it. Though the one thing that he hated was how it had kept him away from his brother and Frisk due to it. They would ask him what he was doing and of course he'd say that he was working on a personal project. Not really a lie, but wasn't the whole truth either. Never giving either of them the answers that they wanted to hear but it was the only answer that he would give them.

Closing his sockets for a brief moment, taking a deep breath as he wondered if he was even doing the right thing right now. It was something that he had started to do every morning, trying to calm his nerves to help prevent his magic from going wild the moment he woke up in shock from him being either in shredded clothes to well... nothing at all.

It was always jarring for him when he would wake up like that though it seemed that he had found something to help him, and he just hoped that it would help when his magic would be near to going out of control and prevent his transformation. So far though, he didn't think it would happen at night since he kept transforming no matter what he would do in the process. Though, it was still confusing as to how he could get himself to stop transforming at night, he was tired of having to fix his clothes or at least buying new ones all the time.

Letting out another sigh, he slowly opened his sockets as he whispered "May as well just get the day over with. Maybe work will be more interesting and I'll get some neat people to interact with." He chuckled a little before pushing himself up from his bed and went to grab his trade mark jacket. Since it was winter now, he had to move to the nearby arena in order to sell his hotdogs or hotcats. It was the only way to make sure that they had a means of income while Paps worked as well.

Though if Papyrus was at work, then that left the house to himself till he would have to go to work. He couldn't help but chuckle a little at that and knew that it was going to be a long day for him but at the same time he couldn't help but chuckle a little at the thought. Yeah, he didn't get a lot of time alone nowadays anyway. Not like it would matter in the first place since he normally had to either work or try to keep his magic under control.

Taking a deep breath, Sans grabbed everything that he needed before heading out to work. Though, he was still confused as to the first night he blacked out. Why he couldn't use his magic back then. Unless it was due to his body using his magic as a means of focusing it all to his transformation? He wasn't sure if that was the cause, but he just figured that there was no point in thinking back on it anyway since it was already done and dealt with right now.

A deep sigh escaped him before he grabbed the last of his things and walked out of the house. Humming as he did so, out of the house and locking up behind him. At least he didn't feel the cold weather like humans or some monsters did. Thankful for once that he didn't have skin, though he just hoped that he wouldn't have a bad day that would result in him freaking out or his magic going wild and him transforming.
