A/N: Prepare yourselves, this is gonna be a pearl clutching, squee inducing chapter. An adorable break from the previous chapter's heaviness.

Katsuki got ready for his second date with Sans. He was going to surprise his pale date with a trip to the local festival. He dressed himself in a black yukata with a burnt orange obi. He told Kirishima what Sans should dress in, so he didn't spoil the surprise.

From what he learned from his last date, Sans was born and raised in a place where snow was the primary weather, so Greenland, Russia, Switzerland, etc. So he was positive that he had never been to a festival like this. He packed his money pouch with all his allowance, tucked it into a pocket he'd sewn personally into the inside of his yukata. He didn't care for pickpockets.

"Oi, hag! I'm leaving for Richter's place!"

"Don't be out all night, brat! And don't call me a hag!"

<~>+<~>+<~>

Sans was standing in front of a mirror while Eijirou helped him put a yukata on properly. It was an azure blue colored fabric with a darker navy obi.

"Eiji, why do I have to wear this thing? It's not uncomfortable, but it seems a little excessive for a cafe or park."

"Don't worry bro! You're dressed perfectly! You don't want to go on an empty stomach so Ma made some onigiri for you."

"Yum."

Sans ate a small platter of the onigiri with ketchup. Shota knocked on the door before Eijirou let him in. Asriel stood behind him, as Shota looked a tad bit guilty.

"Kirishima, do you happen to have plans tonight?"

"Uh, yeah. Denki, Mina, and Sero invited me to go to the arcade. What's up?"

"I don't trust those three to find their way out of a paper bag. Sans, I'm sorry to ask you this, but could you possibly take Asriel with you? I have to take Hitoshi to a doctor's appointment, Hizashi has his radio show, and your mothers are having a date night. I can't exactly leave him alone, and you already know how Kirishima's friends are."

"It's no problem. Does he have to be in one of these stuffy things too?"

"Yeah. Kirishima, do you have Yaoyorozu's phone number?"

"Naturally. Here."

Eijirou dialed Momo and tossed his cell to his off duty teacher.

"Hello Yaoyorozu. If you don't mind, I need a favor....A child's yukata for Asriel, do you remember him?...Good, thank you. How fast can you get here?...Great."

Shota hung up the phone and the doorbell rang.

"I'll be right back boys."

"There's no way Yao-momo got here that quick, right?"

"Well, Eiji. Five hundred yen says one of her servants has a teleportation quirk."

"I'll take that bet!"

Momo walked up the stairs and through the door with a measuring tape and stars in her eyes.

"Thanks for calling me! I'm always happy to help!"

"Yao-momo, how'd you get here so quick?"

"Oh, my maid, Akira, has a superspeed quirk. We were already in the area, only a mile away, so we came here after our weekly trip to the planetarium. So it was no trouble getting here at all."

Sans and Eijirou looked at each, silently declaring their bet a draw. Momo took Asriel's measurements, before making a black yukata and a green and yellow ombre obi.

"Since you're covered in fur Asriel, your yukata is made out of a lighter material, so you won't suffer through heart exhaustion."

"Thank you Momo!"

"By the way, are you two going to the -"

Eijirou was quick to cover her mouth and drag her out of the room, leaving Sans and Asriel confused.

"Dudette, don't tell him where he's going. Bakugo's taking him to the festival as a surprise for the second date."

"Aww, how romantic!"

"Right? My bro has quite the night ahead of him. Don't tell him yet."

After walking back in the room, Eijirou and Momo found Sans sleeping on Eiji's Crimson Riot bean bag chair.

"Bro! Wake up! You can't wrinkle your clothes now!"

Momo laughed while Eijirou hurriedly started fixing Sans yukata and she started helping Asriel his on.

"Gaster, I didn't think you slept this much."

"I was too nervous and couldn't sleep last night. Exhaustion is hitting me all at once now."

A massive yawn cut through Sans's body. Momo stifled her laughter and sneakily clipped two little, yellow bows next to Asriel's ears on his head.

"Alright Asriel! All done! I'm going to take a picture for Mr. Aizawa, so hold still."

Sans snickered at the little bows and didn't notice Eijirou tie the back of his hair into a baby blue bow as revenge.

"Alright bro. Try not to fall asleep, this yukata took a long while to perfect, and I won't be there to fix it. Blasty should be here soon -"

They hear the doorbell ring followed by some impatient knocking.

"Or he's already here."

Sans's face exploded in bright blue as he shortcutted downstairs. He opened the door to reveal Bakugo in all his handsome glory.

"Hey Ground Zero. You sure do clean up nice."

"I can say the same to you, Richter. Ready to go?"

"Yeah, but um. Asriel is coming with us. Everyone else has stuff to do, and Eiji is hanging out with the rest of your squad and Aizawa didn't trust them to keep an eye out for him. Do you mind?"

He did. Abso-fucking-lutely he minded! Now Sans's attention will be split! But...

"No, it's fine. I wouldn't trust those dumbasses with kids in any sense!"

There was no way in hell he would make Sans feel terrible about his situation. Sometimes, shit happens, and there's no other choice but to deal with it. Plus, the relieved smile Sans gave him made it all worth it.

"Great! Yo, fluffy-buns it's time to go!"

Katsuki snorted at the ridiculous nickname.

The small goat-child ran down the stairs, the top of his head, literally on fire.

"Don't call me that!"

Sans patted out the fire. He was certainly not a stranger to his fiery embarrassment. The small yellow bows were burned away, but Sans's bow remained on the back of his head. He took Asriel's hand and smiled at his blonde date.

"Let's go, Ground Zero."

Katsuki gripped Sans free and started leading him down the street. The festival was taking place in the park where a part of their first date happened. It was maybe two blocks away from the house, so Katsuki prepared drinks. A ketchup bottle and a grape soda. He hadn't anticipated a third person to attend the date.

"Here."

Sans took his ketchup and Asriel took the soda.

"Thanks for the refreshments Ground Zero."

"Thank you, how do I open this?"

"Here."

Katsuki took the glass bottle and popped off the little metal cap.

"Here brat."

"Not a brat, bitch."

Asriel drank his soda while Sans choked on his ketchup.

"Asriel! Where did you grow a potty mouth?! I haven't had you for more than an hour and Aizawa is going to kill me."

Katsuki cackled as Sans shook Asriel by the shoulders.

"I heard Hitoshi say it to Bakugo's dumb blonde friend when they were in his room last week."

Sans went bright blue and looked at Katsuki who's laughing was halted and resumed more violently.

"Katsuki, it's not funny!"

Sans was struggling not to laugh, cause the situation was damn hilarious. He failed his battle and burst out in belly aching laughter. Luminescent blue tears pricked at the corners of his eyes from laughing too hard.

"We're here."

Sans's laughter slowed until it was replaced completely with an excited blush, and his eyelights literally shaped themselves into little, sparkling stars. Bright golden lights, warm colors, happy faces everywhere, laughter from small children, the smell of cotton candy, and the feeling of calm that washed over his small frame.

"Welcome to the festival Richter."

"Let's go!"

Katsuki's hand was gripped tightly and was dragged through the narrow lane, barely missing bumping shoulders with the other people. Asriel ran behind Sans, the smells of burnt sugar and deep fried treats made his stomach growl.

"Azzy?"

"You hungry brat?"

"I'm not a brat, bitch. I'm not hungry. I ate at the house. Mr. Shota gave me ramen at the house."

"Ouch. Aizawa is not a very good cook. It had to be store bought cup ramen. Let's get some food."

Sans grimaced at the awful food memories, before lifting Asriel into his arms and jogging over to a food stall. They were selling fried chicken, takoyaki on sticks, yakisoba, and cold soba. Todoroki would love that cold soba.

"Whaddya want to eat bud?"

"What's yakisoba?"

"Fried noodles and veggies. Do you want to try some grilled fish or squid?"

"Fish? Like Undyne?!"

"No, no, no! Normal fish! Not like Undyne! Let's get takoyaki. You've had that before."

"Takoyaki is good. What's it even made out of?"

"Meat! Just meat and sometimes cheese."

Katsuki smirked at Sans's panic. Their friend Undyne probably had a fish mutation quirk. Smart move not telling the kid about the octopus.

Asriel happily munched on the takoyaki on a bench, while Sans and Katsuki watched from a small distance.

"Sorry about Asriel. I know you wanted this date to be special."

"It's as great as it can be, because you're here. You don't need to fucking apologize, if anything Aizawa can fucking apologize. He could've forced his husband to take the brat to his damn radio show."

Sans heard Katsuki talking, but he was laser focused on that first sentence. He was a dark blue mess. A soft splashing sound dragged his attention from his thoughts. Katsuki was fussing over Asriel, trying to mess up his fur while he ate, so Sans walked over to a small wood and plastic pond with small golden colored fish. A semi large golden and black fish swam through the smaller golden fish.

"You have your eye on our featured prize, huh young man?"

"What?"

"Holy- You're the winner of the sports festival!"

"Oh, yeah. I'm happy everyone enjoyed the event. What is that fish there?"

"You must not be from Japan. This is called a koi fish. They are said to be the beginning stage for great dragon evolutions. This one is called a butterfly finned golden dragon. Would you like to try winning her?"

"I'd like to try. How do you play?"

"You take this little paper scoop and try to scoop as many fish as you can. When your scoop breaks you have to pay for another one. For you, you can have the first scoop free of charge."

"Thanks."

Sans subtly used his magic to levitate the koi on the paper scoop so it wouldn't break and so he wouldn't get in trouble.

"First try. Amazing! Here, I'll bag her up and send you on your way."

"Richter."

"Heya Ground Zero, Azzy. Look at my catch."

"Heh, leave it to you to get the best fish."

"Fish? Like the grilled fish?"

"Yeah little buddy. Here. Your first pet."

The plastic bag was handed to Asriel, who's eyes were sparkling.

"What are you going to name it, brat?"

"Her name is Undyne. The real Undyne will laugh when she finds out."

"Alphys would appreciate the name."

The three boys got a big cotton candy to share, unaware of three pairs of eyes on them. Sans had a nagging feeling someone was watching one or all three of them, but since he was the winner of the Sports Festival and Katsuki was the second place runner up, he ignored it. It was probably another human who recognized them.

"Denki! You're sitting on my hand."

"Scootch over Kiri!"

Eijirou, Kaminari, and Mina watched the date happen. Mina was squealing whenever she saw Bakugo doing something gentlemanly.

"Sans, I need to use the restroom."

"Alright bud. Let's go find one."

"No need. I saw one over there. You stay here and I'll be right back. Hold onto Undyne II for me."

Asriel walked away, made two turns, and traveled through the ground to pop up behind the three idiots.

"Hello."

The three jumped out of their skin and spun around. Kaminari accidentally sent a mild electrical charge into his friends. Asriel snickered at the shock.

"You may be able to hide from the comedian and Bakugo, but I can hear you. You can't hide from my ears. I am the master at hide and seek."

"Heeey Asriel! You wouldn't rat out your good buddy Eijirou, right?"

"I don't know. What's in it for me?"

"Little extortionist. What do you want?"

"Mr. Shota borrowed my spear a couple weeks ago for something. He didn't give it back yet. I want my spear back. He might be at the house now. I want my spear."

"Done. I'll head home and find your spear. Just don't tell Sans and Bakugo."

"Alright. You have until we come home."

Asriel traveled through the ground again and popped up behind Sans.

"Hey bud. Find the bathroom?"

"Yeah. Where'd Bakugo go?"

"He's playing that game over there."

Katsuki had a fake rifle in his hands shooting at plastic geese as they moved quickly across a couple wood and metal beams. So far, he hadn't missed one yet.

"Congratulations young man! You have your choice of prizes!"

A woman with a dog mutation quirk was wagging her tail and was gesturing to a row of special plushies.

"Psst, hey, that boy is your date right? Get him a plushie he'll like."

Katsuki gave her a barely audible grunt, and looked over his options. There was a giraffe, several types of cats, a few different kinds of dogs, and even a large snake.

"I'll take that one."

Katsuki pointed to one of the dogs, it was pure white with beady black eyes, and a slightly curled tail, like a retriever. It was one of those jumbo plushies, so it was Asriel's size, give or take. Sans eyes blew up into stars with a bright blue blush, when Katsuki handed the dog plush to him.

"Sans, it reminds me of Toby."

"You know, he kinda does look like him, doesn't he?"

"Toby?"

"Heh, back home there's a stray dog everyone dubbed Toby. He loves to mess with people and loves to torment my brother and Azzy's mom."

Sans squeezed the plushie tightly and dragged Katsuki and Asriel away from the festival, to the duck pond that acted as the park's centerpiece. Asriel remembered a certain feature of his modified magic. He handed Sans Undyne II to Sans and ran along the edge of the water. Beautiful, glowing, blue Echo Flowers sprouted from the ground, filling Sans with a sense of longing.

"I...I didn't know you could do that bud."

"I found out two years ago, when I arrived."

"What are these things?"

Asriel gave Sans a smirk before continuing his run along the water.

"These are Echo Flowers. They usually only grow back home in a place called Water Fall. Here, hold Toby for a sec. Here is a special little feature of my favorite plant of all time."

Sans carefully plucked one of the flowers, cupped his mouth and whispered something to it. He handed the flower to Katsuki and placed Toby on the ground, out of his way. He offered a confused smile to Sans.

"Hold it up to your ear."

Katsuki chuckled and decided to humor Sans. He lifted the flower up to his ear and narrowed his eyes when he heard a whispering voice.

"Lift your head and face me, Ground Zero."

The voice was clearly Sans's, but it was echo-y. Go figure, Echo Flower.He lifted his head to face Sans like the flower said, and was met with a face. On his face. It took him a good few seconds to figure out what happened. Sans had kissed him. When he finally put the pieces together, Sans had his dark blue face hidden inside Toby.

Katsuki's face was burning, but his victorious smirk was very prominent. He yanked Sans by the waist to him, dropped the dog plush, and kissed him, this time with more passion. Asriel stood behind a tree with Eijirou, Mina, and Denki watching theri first and second kiss go down.

"Get it bro!"

"Damn, I wish Hitoshi kissed me like that."

"Aw, don't be jelly Kami!"

Asriel stayed silent, happy that Sans was happy and in love. Toby Fox knows he needs it.
