"yeah?.... uh-huh.... m'k. bye, love you~" Sans hung up, slipping his phone into his christmas themed hoodie's pocket.

Taking a leap off the kitchen stool, Sans walked to the living room and knocked on the wooden door frame as he entered to alert his friends and brother of his presence.

"hey, bro. grillby says he's on his way here." He spoke up.

"FANTASTIC THEN! THIS SHALL BE THE BEST CHRISTMAS PARTY IN ALL HISTORY!" Papyrus chirped with excitement.

Sans nodded in agreement, a wide smile on his face.

Seeing Papyrus smile is more than what he could have asked for today as a gift.

"Hey, Sans!" Undyne greeted.

"sup undyne."

"So, anything planned for tonight?~" Undyne smirked, elbowing Sans gently on his side.

"I'm blinking under my eye patch if you haven't noticed." She quickly added.

Sans stared at Undyne with an unamused expression.

"what about you? where's the 'sexy' costume?" Sans snickered.

Undyne's face turned a deep red hue.

Without any words, she stuck out her middle finger and laughed out loud before walking away.

"You got me there!"

There was a loud clashing sound.

Sans quickly reacted and checked what had happened over his shoulder.

Papyrus had simply dropped a few boxes filled with Christmas ornaments.

"MY BAD! EVERYTHING IS ALRIGHT! NOTHING HAPPENED!" Papyrus assured, nervously rubbing the back of his skull.

"you okay there bro? let me help." Sans asked, leaning down and helping his younger brother carefully place the ornaments back to their correct place in the box.

"I'M COMPLETELY FINE BROTHER, THANK YOU. I'M SURPRISED YOU HAVEN'T BEEN SUCH A LAZYBONES LATELY. WHAT COULD BE THE REASON FOR THAT?" Papyrus sat up, looking down at Sans and expecting a response to explain the 'strange' behavior.

Sans sat up and looked at Papyrus.

"i... i don't really know. maybe i just feel more motivation to do things. quite frankly, i feel so happy, and loved. i have a great brother, i have such an amazing person as a boyfriend, and i have so many friends i love that care about me." Sans mumbled.

Papyrus was starry eyed.

Hearing this exact words come out of his brother's mouth was the best thing he could ever have wished for himself.

Sans, the brother who always hid his feelings, whom always isolated himself when in need, who's smile used to be broken, was now happy for real this time.

Papyrus could feel the radiance of happiness from his brother's soul now, it was all so surreal.

"bro?"

Papyrus grabbed Sans by the hoodie and pulled him into a hug.

"wha-?"

"-YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THAT MEANS TO ME... I'M SO HAPPY!! NO- I'M VERY ECSTATIC!!" He squealed, hugging Sans tighter.

The door bell rang.

"AH! THAT MUST BE GRILLBY, YOUR BOYFRIEND!!" Papyrus gasped, rapidly letting go of Sans and running to the door to greet the new visitors.

"Hello, Papyrus." Grillby grinned with a small wave.

"GREETINGS! COME IN! MAKE YOURSELVES AT HOME!" Papyrus welcomed, gesturing the family of elementals to enter the house's main living room.

"Sup man." Magnus greeted on his way inside.

"HELLO!" Papyrus shouted back.

Grillby heaved a long relaxed sigh.

This night, in just within a few hours, he'd be on his knee, underneath the mistletoe just my the warm fireplace, asking his loved one the question that would change his life.

Oh boy, he could not help but to squeal just at the very thought of Sans saying yes.

His flames were going crazy, subtlety making small heart shaped flickers and going a lighter color.

Grillby looked down at the floor.

Sans was there, sitting as he was putting some red beautiful Christmas ornaments into a sparkly golden cardboard box.

"Hey" Grillby barely choked out, beginning to feel nervous once Sans glanced up at him.

'Come on Grillby, get yourself together.'

"hey" Sans replied.

"Ah-um.... Let me help." Grillby said, taking Sans' hand and carefully lifting him up to his feet.

"aw, you didn't have to, but thanks." Sans lightly blushed as he leaned closer and pecked Grillby's cheek lovingly.

"Of course I had to. Today's a special day." Grillby hinted with a wink.

"you're such a dork." Sans giggled.

"Let's... go for a drink." Grillby changed the topic.

"okay."
_____________________

The early night quickly came to midnight.

Everyone was having fun.

With the arrival of the rest of the guests, the party had finally started, and no, there was no alcohol.

There was a special underage guest there, it was non other than our monster's ambassador, Frisk.

They sure had grown up so quickly, they would be turning 14 just by the beginning of summer of the next year!

The King and Queen were also here.

Toriel was sitting on the couch, leaning on Asgore, whom was storytelling about a time he got his horns stuck in the bed frame.

Frisk, Undyne and Alphys were the audience.

Papyrus and Mettaton were both taking fabulous, great pictures just by the Christmas tree, and publishing them on Snapchat and Instagram.

Last but not least, Grillby and Sans were drinking hot chocolate right by the fireplace, underneath the mistletoe, just like how Grillby had imagined earlier.

"and then he said: "oh your humor is trash", but then i said: "but i have a humorous sense of humor because of my enormous funny bone!"" Sans blabbered on and on.

Grillby let out a soft chuckle, but then dozed off again.

'When exactly do I ask?'

"grillby, hey. you okay, babe? you seem a bit distracted." Sans asked skeptically.

"Oh... I'm sorry, Sans... I was just pondering about something related to your gift."

"ooh my gift. what could it be?~"

"It's a secret!" Grillby laughed.

With a small playful pout, Sans held Grillby's hand and smiled.

His gaze was filled with an honest true love.

"Sans... I need to ask you something..." Grillby spoke up, putting his, and Sans' mug to the side as he then grabbed both of Sans' hands gently.

"Would you m-"

"IT'S 12:00 AM!!! TIME TO OPEN THE GIFTS!!! YAY!!" Papyrus shouted from the other side of the room, interrupting Sans' and Grillby's moment.

'Fuck! I was so close to asking'

"ooh time for gifts! come on." Sans repeated, letting go of Grillby's hand and following Papyrus to the Christmas tree.

'Maybe next time...'
