Sans' Point Of View

I could remember back when it was only a dream of Papyrus' to join the Royal Guard, let alone become the head.

Papyrus would always praise me for cooking, jokes or anything that I took pride in. Papyrus never liked the enforcement of 'kill or be killed' that the King had bestowed upon the Underground. I've always been amazed and proud of how confident my brother was of changing this rule.

It was only when he first got accepted by Undyne, that the kind and loving Papyrus that I knew, had begun to slip away.

I recall the memory, as if it were just yesterday.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I was sitting in the living room of the house that I shared with my bro, flipping through the channels on the television.

I glanced at the clock that hung on the wall. 3:44pm, that meant Papyrus would be home soon from training with Undyne. Today was the day that Papyrus was offered a position in the Royal Guard, according to Undyne.

Feeling the pride for my brother rise, I decided to be a nice brother and make Papyrus' favourite food, spaghetti, which I had left on the table in the kitchen.

I was excited to see him make an entrance to 'greet the newest member of the Royal Guard!', as I guessed he would say.

Suddenly, the door slammed open, revealing Papyrus.

"How was your day bro? You the newest member of the Royal Guard yet?" I asked, failing to hide my smirk.

When Papyrus didn't reply, my smile dropped and I turned off the television.

"Paps, you alright?" I asked, making my way towards him.

He didn't smile, I couldn't tell what he was feeling because of his solemn expression.

"Something wrong Paps?" I asked again, reaching my hand out to touch his shoulder, only to have it aggressively grabbed.

I looked stunned, when I realized Papyrus had his grip on my wrist.

"I DID JOIN THE ROYAL GUARD, BUT OBVIOUSLY I AM ALREADY AN EMBARRASSMENT." Papyrus hissed, adding more pressure to my wrist, I winced in pain, feeling a small crack in my bone.

"E-embarrassment?" I quoted, "Paps, what makes you an embarrassment?" I asked, looking at him in concern.

Papyrus viciously yanked his hand away from me, "MY WORTHLESS BROTHER!" He pushed me out of his way.

I stood there shocked, holding my wrist in my hand. I pulled up the sleeve to see a crack in my bone located on my wrist. It was bigger than it felt and what I assumed.

Little did I know that this was when monsters began to change. My brother would never be the same. And neither would our relationship.
