Chapter Text
“Bye Ms. Y/N! I Love you”
“Nuh uh! I love her!”
You giggle to the sound of the day-care children throwing their affection at you as you approach your car to go home. They really made your plain life worth living, and you appreciate the happiness they grant you every day. Not that you couldn’t have kids of your own, it’s just that Herbert took that desire for a family away from you. Yeah, that’s right. You dated an abusive man named Herbert, and although you try to avoid contact with him, he still refuses to leave you alone.
‘That’s a thought for another time. Right now I need to get food. Maybe I’ll be different tonight and go buy food…mmm…maybe hot dogs and fries. Oh, look at me being different tonight.’ You chuckled to yourself and drove off to that little diner that sold hot dogs and fries, they sold other stuff as well however you can’t recall the rest of the menu items. You recall the name of the place being ‘Grillbys’, and that it was a popular place for monsters. Not that you mind, seeing that you view monsters and humans on the same level. Besides, you work with human and monster kids at the day-care and you love them all.
You pull up and park your car then head inside. You take in your surroundings and also make a mental note that there were indeed other humans in there, just a few but that still counts. As you approach the counter to make an order, you can’t help but notice a pair of eyes on you….or should you say eye sockets. There, at the counter near the only empty stool left, sat a tall skeleton wearing a blue jacket, a pair of black gym shorts, a white t-shirt and a pair of pink house slippers.
‘Wow, wearing house slippers out so casually. That’s kinda bold…. I like that’ you took your seat and held your head straight, after all it is rude to stare. Well at least one of you considered it rude to stare, since the skeleton beside you had no problem doing it early. Not like he was staring in disgust, more like a stare of surprise and shock.
A fire monster approached you from the other side of the counter and took your order then vanished to prepare it. Just as you pulled out your phone and earbuds to play music while you wait, the skeleton spoke up.
“hey there.” You turn to face him to see a huge smile on his face and a bluish tint across his check bones.
‘Is he….blushing? No, that can’t be right or possible…Or can it. Can rocks blush? Wait did I answer yet?’
“Hello” His eye lights were fixed on you, studying every single detail that they possible could. He seem to be taking in your full figure, not that you mind but as far as you know men don’t usually take such a sudden interest in you.
He extended his hand out to you “don’t you know how to greet a new pal?” You went to take his hand but slightly hesitated, however you did shake it. Only to hear a loud farting noise. You look down in his hand while he just laughing his ass off.
‘Did this fool just….whoopee cushion me? Oh, Mr. Skeleton you just declared war. Ima plan for you’
“Hahaha, very funny. What are you? 5 years old”
“no I am not 5, i’m sans. sans the skeleton.” You let out a chuckle and proceed to tell him your name. The two of you engage in a short conversation while you wait your food. You can already tell that he enjoys puns and making you laugh, his blush grew brighter every time he got you smile or laugh. Finally when the food is handed to you, you pay and prepare to leave.
As you get up from the stool and tell Sans good bye he stops you.
“i uh, know this may sound weird but, you seem like a really cool person. and uh, can i maybe have your phone number?”
“Sure, why not. I guess it might be fun to have a punny skeleton around. It’s XXX-XXX-XXXX”
“thanks. i’ll text you later, beautiful”
While blushing, you open your mouth to say something but just like that, he disappeared.
‘What the hell!? Is he some sorta magician? Oh no I hope not. Magicians are usually around clowns, and clowns make me gassy and nervous….’
And with that encounter, your life, unbeknownst to you, took a whole 180.
