You came to the edge of the woods. Their scent led to Grillby's. Sans, it seemed, was trying to lead the fire monster over to the woods. You grit your teeth, jaws curling a little before you relaxed. Of course. What other choice did they have? Their only protecter had been out of commission, you had been out of commission and they needed help. They probably wanted him to make sure you were ok. Now that you thought about it.. those burgers and fries had been warm. Whole. Not eaten off of. Had Sans went in? Or had Grillby found them digging and given them something fresh? It was most likely the latter. Sans wasn't stupid. You took a deep breath and stepped out of hiding. No magic. No illusions. Yet. Papyrus was the first to notice you, the way Sans was holding him, the babybones was facing toward you. "NYEH! NYEH! NYEH! NYEH HEH HEH!" You froze a moment, not liking the attention being brought to you as the other two looked over. "Hello to you too, Pap.."

🔥🔥🔥

"[Y/N]! you're all better!" Sans scrambled over. "i-i got real worried and he said he could help and i-i didn't know what else to do! please don't be mad.." You put a hand on his skull, wincing when he flinched. "I'm not mad. It's ok Sans. I'm ok." You assured. "He's been worrying about you since this morning. Went on and on about getting food for his hurt friend. I'd assumed it was another skeleton.." The elemental laughed nervously. "Is their something wrong with a fox raising skeletons?" You asked wearily. "Well, it is odd, yes, but I'm not against it." Grillby replied quickly, trying to mend the unraveling situation. "Uh, if your still hurt, you can come in the back and get your wounds cleaned.." Wounds? He thought you were wounded? That was logical, you supposed. "No." You took Sans hand and turned to the woods. "Then at least let me offer you a job!"
"..." Sans looked up at you. "You can't raise them off food from the bins. They'll never get nutrition that way. At least you'll be able to get free food working for me and save up for a proper place to live." He explained. "How would you know where I live?" You didn't turn around. "I watched you disappear into the woods. There isn't any houses in there."
"...I'll think about it." You led the boys away.

🔥🔥🔥

"will you take it?" Sans asked as you led him to the nest. "I don't know yet, I'm still thinking."
"you'll be getting money, like you said.. and free food! uh.. what's free?"
"Free means you don't have to pay for it."
"well that's a bonus!" Sans was looking hopeful. It's been a long time since you've seen Sans hopeful. "NYEH!" Papyrus was cheerful too. What did Grillby do to get them like this? Surely it's more than just a job? "To bed." You let him go and he got into the nest. You took off your hat and covered the boys in your duster. Grillby had been right though. You couldn't raise them off scraps. Sans had a large magic capacity and required more than that. Papyrus was still growing, he needed more too. "Good night, boys."
"night [Y/N]." You brushed a paw past your ears, sighing. So.. your getting a job then. You couldn't just leave the boys here alone, they were going to have to come with, tomorrow morning. You crawled in and curled around them.
