You moved slowly. There was no need to rush things when it came to Soul Mates, though you were aware that monster relationships did tend to go faster than human ones. Soulmate's didn't really have a step like engagement, for instance and when it came to a heat/rut cycle, that was pure instinct. A time the mate should be avoided if you didn't want to have kids. Sans was completely fine going slow though. Cuddles, kisses, and hand holding was enough for him and he was sure it would be awhile before his next cycle. "so whatdya wanna do today?" Sans asked after your routine hug and small kiss. Sans still blushed excessively, but honestly it was adorable to you. "I wanna... hm. I wanna stay here and just.. see what happens." You sat down on his bed and leaned into him. Hesitantly he wrapped his arms around you, pulling you closer. "it's never to early for a nap?" Sans suggested. You rolled your eyes. "It's 7:08 in the morning, Sans. It IS to early for a nap." He whined. "... Sans.. it's been a little over a month since you tried to physically harm yourself. Would you like a chance out of that straight jacket?" You suggested.

You waited for Sans to get done changing. You hadn't found much, just black shorts and a blue t-shirt, but he was fine with that. You realized, you never actually saw Sans in normal clothes, you'd only ever seen him bound up in that jacket. Now as he slowly and shyly exited the bathroom, you could see fairly dark grey pock marks and scars from years of medical abuse. Ignoring that though, he looked handsome. "You look very fetching Sansy." You complimented and punned at the same time. He chuckled, flushing with yellow blush. "th-thanks.." He stammered. "uh, you look great too. always." He replied to which you kissed him. He responded in kind. Your fingers gently traced the marks on his bones. "Do they still hurt..?" He shook his head. "no.. not anymore. i.. don't think ever again either." You kissed the top of his skull. "That's good." You took his hand and brought him to the bed to cuddle and watch movies. He was content to curl up in your lap and chest while doing so, falling asleep within the first five minutes of the film.

You had to wake him when lunch time came around. He grumbled in complaint a little, otherwise followed you to the cafeteria. The others had to do a double take, seeing Sans out of the straight jacket. "What're you thinking?" You asked with the intention of sharing a meal as a date sort of thing. It's not like you could do much in an Asylum as far as date stuff goes. "'m thinking bbq." He liked his teeth at the prospect. "Pulled pork, ribs, steak?" You asked he hummed. "i think i'll go with [Your Choice]." You gasped playfully. "You know me so well!" He grinned. "dun, dun, ts." He moved his phalanges like drum sticks, making you snicker. "You're a goof."
"i know you are but what am i?" He was enjoying this. "That was so childish!" You both laughed. "Your order, Doctor?" Your turn came up faster than expected. "A large order of [Your Choice], please." The lunch lady nodded. "We'll call you up when it's done." You lead Sans to a more secluded area of the cafeteria, knowing that he didn't really like interacting with others all that often.

"this is nice." Sans sighed contently, melting onto the tabletop. "Yeah, and at the rate your going, you may be able to leave soon." His skull snapped up. "ya think so..?"
"I know so. I'm your doctor first and foremost. And you've been mentally stable for a week, not to mention your lack of self harm for the past month." You reminded him. Sans sockets lit up in excitement. "i can't wait to get outta here and see the rest of the underground!" You smiled at him with equal amounts of excitement. "I can't wait to show it to you!"
