"*[you]?!"
Sans calling your name snaps you out of your thoughts.

"oh! Um..if you have ketchup does that mean you have fries?"
Fries are all you could think of at the moment when it came to something that someone would eat with ketchup.

Grillby nods, you figure that you must've been somewhat correct that grillby doesnt talk or at least doesnt talk much.

"Hey grillbs mind getting her some fries?"
Sans didn't really ask if you wanted them, but never the less Grillby walks off, presumably to get the fries.

Once grillby brings the fries, you politely eat them as to not start an argument in the flaming mans establishment.
(sorry if your allergic to potatoes or salt)
As your eating sans tries to ask you something, but before he can utter a word you hold your pointer finger up signaling for him to wait until you can properly speak with him. (essentially once your done eating)
Once you do finish eating, your pointer finger drops, signifying that your now open to conversation.

"So Ive been wondering why your so calm.."
He seems to be genuinely curious about this.

"What do you mean?"
You wonder why he would've thought you wouldnt be calm.

"what I mean is that your underground, surrounded by monsters, and your just acting like its all completely normal?"
His confusion now makes some sense...considering you dont know what normal is.

"Oh, is it not normal?"
Your quite curious as to what is deemed 'normal'.

"What do you mean is it not normal? Aren't you a human?"
He seems even more confused than before.

"Well...maybe?"
You honestly aren't sure..

"what do you mean by 'maybe'?"
He seems a bit on edge..

"well, I dont remember anything before falling...I mean, sometimes I will be reminded of something..but i cant ever recall the when where and why, only what it is, or bits and pieces of what happened.."
Your a bit worried about the less cheerful atmosphere between the both of you.

"So your saying that even if it isnt normal you would have no reason to think so."
He seems not as tense now as he was just a second ago.

"well, most likely.."
The situation has now become awkward for you.

"well do you know if your non violent?"
Sans takes the conversation to a more interrogative route, considering the topic enables him to do so.

"um..well, I haven't hurt anything or anyone that I know of..so probably?"
Your not lying seeing as you haven't harmed anyone since falling down here.

It seems to put Sans a tad bit on ease, but you can still sense some lingering distrust towards you.

It makes sense considering he has no way of knowing what kind of person you are, seeing as you dont even know..
For a second Sans looks as if he is about to say something but stops himself.
Deciding instead to retreat into thought and analyze the situation in his head in order to figure out what to do next..
After awhile he seems to come to a conclusion.

"well, since you haven't sinned yet, I guess you get a pass on a bad time."
His conclusion is not what you were expecting, much less does it make sense.
You dont bother having him explain.
"so do you have a place to stay?"
His change of the topic of conversation is quickly noticed by you.

You cant help but wonder what might have been going through his head when he asked you about your living arrangements, seeing as he seems to be trying to conceal a blush. However, despite his efforts a little bit of blue is dusted on his cheek bones.

"oh, well I was just going to go back to toriels.."
You wonder why he might of thought you'd stay anywhere else, unless he has some other reason for asking.

He looks like he's about to say something but once again stops himself.
You can't help but wonder what he was going to say.
After a bit of him thinking to himself followed by an awkward silence, he eventually seems to find something else to say.

"are you sure she'll let you stay there?"
He seems like he knows something about toriel you don't, but then again he's probably known her longer than you so its not unlikely.

"well she was going to let me stay there before, why wouldn't she now?"
You know that he knows things about toriel that you don't but she doesn't seem like the person to just take back an offer like that.

"well just in case, feel free to crash at my place if you ever need to; the doors always open (figuratively) for someone as a-door-able as you"
What he said feels different from what he's thinking, you can see it on his face; though the blue returning to his face once again almost conceals the feelings evident in his eyes.

You wonder what it is that he decided was better not said.
It was probably something that you'll find out eventually.
(she's never let a human come back once they've left)

"my home-y, I know ya a-door me but dont think ill just move in like that!"
You laugh at your own puns.

Sans lets out a chuckle, much to your satisfaction.
However, you notice the degected look in his eyes.
You wonder if he was hoping you'd stay with him.
Then again, it could always be something else.

"so memory loss must be alot to handle."
He lets out another chuckle, as do you.

You notice hes changing the subject again..
He seems to do that alot..

"yeah, but ive gotten a pretty good grip on it so far"
You dont mind letting him change the subject, and he seems grateful that you allowed him too.

You and Sans both continue to throw puns back and forth in conversation while ordering drinks every now and then.
However, once it starts getting late, you notice Sans starts to tense up a bit.
as if he has to do something soon that wont be very pleasant for him.
You wonder what that might be.
But nomatter what it is, you'll still have to get back to toriels eventually.
Its getting to be noonish, and you wouldnt want to burden the poor woman with worrying over you.

"hey sans, I should probably be getting back to toriels soon.."
You hope he'll drop you off, seeing as he's literally the only person in this town your somewhat comfortable around, and you really dont want to be left alone right now.

He seems to tense up more at the mention of toriels house.
You wonder why, you didnt think the introduction of the two to each other was that awkward..at least, you hoped it wasnt..

"yeah, right..that."
Its pretty clear that he is dreading the idea of you returning to toriels.
"before you go, take this...and dont worry its no phoney. I already put my number in so if you ever need me just shoot me a text"
He hands you a phone, then proceeds to show you how to use it.

Once you get the hang of it you try calling him a few times.
It turns out that sans put himself as 'ketchup2mylevel' in your contacts list.
You try to see what sans put you under on his phone, but your efforts are unsuccessful.
He also put his phone on vibrate so you couldn't hear the ringtone he set for you either.

Soon you both shortcut back to in front of the door that you let sans through.
(you know, when you took him to see toriel.)
You gently knock on the door, calling out to toriel.
But nobody came.
you wait awhile.
But nobody came.

👌🕆❄ ☠⚐👌⚐👎✡ 👍✌💣☜

You finally understand.

"she is never going to answer, is she?"
You cant help but blame yourself.

Why would she even care about you.
You'd just be a burden on her anyways.
She only helped you out of pity.
She is probably happy to have you gone.

"no, she's not.."
He knew this would happen, and yet he brought you here anyways.
You cant decide whether to get angry that he didnt say anything or grateful that he put up with you, knowing the outcome.
"..you ok?"
Ha haha hahaha AHahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
What a stupid question.

(no its Fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine I am fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine I'll be FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!!!)
"Im fine."
You force a smile.
He shoots you what seems to be a look of skepticism.
His skepticism is ignored.
"so guess im staying with you then."
You dont really see any other options.

"yeah I guess so.."
A blue hue dusks his cheekbones once again.

*awkward silence*

"so are we going or what? its cold out here.."
The best way to break and awkward silence, talk about the weather.
(sarcasm)

"right, sorry..i was just freeze brained for a moment there.."
He snaps out of the awkward silence zone he was in.

"icee what you did there~"
When thrown a pun you must throw one back, basic pun knowledge.
"but seriously its freezing, lets go!"
Its snow time to be out in the cold.

You both laugh at your own puns.
You grab his hand, and a brighter blue hue is flushed across his face.
Dammit sans, your making it more significant than it is..stop it.
He shortcuts the both of you in front of a building that you guess is his house.
He opens the door for you and you walk inside.
He follows shortly after, closing the door behind him.

"Sooo..."
you decide to break the silence again.
"this is your house huh?"
you know its his house, but you figure he probably has something to say about it.
So now its a conversation starter.

"yep."
Wow, what an annoyingly short answer.

"Sooo..."
You try once again to break the silence.
"where within your home should I claim as my living space?"
Please dont say his room, please dont say his room, please dont say his room..

his eye sockets suddenly go completely vacant in a kind of disturbing way.
you wonder why..

"well sh*t"
his sudden use of foul language causes you to jump a bit.

he seems to notice this, and thus the little white pinpricks that usually occupy his eye sockets return.

"sorry, you ok?"
it seems he can still see even with the pinpricks missing, how curious..

you dont bother answering

"what was the sudden use of vulgar lingo about?"
as much as you can infer things from his body language, speech, word choice, and actions...you cant read his mind, so your stuck asking questions to get the answers you cant figure out on your own.

"right, that.."
he looks away seemingly thinking something over in his head.
"I just remembered that I live with my brother..and I forgot to consult him..and I mean he'd probably be ok with it..but you dont really have anywhere else to stay..so for now... you should probably stay in my room..at least till i get it sorted out with him.."
The blue hue dusting his cheekbones returns, probably in realization that you'd be staying in the same room as him.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!
of all the places he had to choose the one you were most objective to.
(┳ - ┳) end me.

"is that ok?"
no sans its not ok.

its not ok AT ALL!
NOT OK!
NO!

"yeah, thats fine."
kill me now.

its not f*cking fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine!
end my liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiife!
want to diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie!
*illegible internal hate screaming*

"you sure?"
he seems to be more observant than you think.

"yep!"
you flash him a smile.

f*ck my life.

"ok then.. I just gotta go fix my room real quick its a bit of a mess and ill need to put another mattress in there.."
he shortcuts away.

great! he believed that incredibly faked smile of being fine(but not really)!
I just want to die, please sombody kill me, I wanna die die diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiie!

Did you forget?
You CANT die.
So stop asking.
Its pointless.
