Ichika - "Boys, time to wake up!"

Sans jolted awake and almost fell out of his new bed. He was now in this world for a little over four months. He made short work of getting to the top of his classes, aside from Japanese History and Japanese. He could speak the language, but some words evaded him and he couldn't be bothered to learn them. Japanese Literature also bored him to high hell.

He didn't have very many classes with Eijirou, but he was making damn sure the bullies would leave Eijirou alone. He had to custom order two more uniforms that would actually fit him.

Eijirou - "Hey, Ma wants to know if you're okay with fruit sandwiches and rice balls for lunch."

Sans - "Yeah, just want meat to go with it."

Sans dragged himself out of bed and pulled his uniform on. Or, at least as much of it as he was willing to wear. The jacket was much too stuffy, so he tied it around his waist, Papyrus's scarf was wrapped around his neck, snug but not enough to choke him out. He never bothered to comb his hair since it would floof back up in five minutes.

Natsumi - "I made rice porridge with runny eggs, bacon, and toast. Sans, I also heated up some leftover takoyaki for you, and packed some with your lunch as well as some money in case you're still hungry."

Sans - "Thanks."

Sans yawned and stretched. The joints in his elbows popped, startling him.

Sans - "I don't think I'll ever get used to that."

Ichika - "Popping joints is normal for humans. I'm surprised you never experienced it as a full skeleton."

Sans - "Instead of ligaments and muscle holding bones together, magic is used. It prevents bone from weathering and rubbing against other bones. No room for air bubbles to form in joints when magic occupies every space."

Eijirou smirked at each other and brought their hands close to Sans's ears. He cracked his knuckles. Sans felt shivers go down his spine. He quickly punched Eijirou in the arm and ate his toast while glaring heatedly.

Ichika - "Eiji, knock it off and eat your food."

Sans stuck his tongue out in a ridiculous, childish manner while Ichika's back was turned.

Eijirou - "Hey Ma, can I uh, dye my hair after school?"

Ichika - "Sure, just not white or purple."

Eijirou - "Is firetruck red okay?"

Ichika - "Is it white or orange?"

Eijirou - "No -"

Ichika - "Then it's okay. Maybe if you ask Sans, he'll dye his hair with you."

Sans pointedly avoided eye contact with the young human and he ate some of his egg. He continued avoiding eye contact as he retreated to their room to get his heavy coat, his new fingerless winter gloves, and his new winter hat. Winter in his new human body was hell. It was freezing and he got cold a lot faster than normal humans because of his small and skinny frame.

The cold also made him more lethargic than usual so he had to be seated near the heaters in class which only made him sleepier. Sans made his way to the front door and pocketed the lunch money. He then tucked his and Eijirou's lunches into his shoulder bag.

Natsumi - "I'll drop you two off on my way to work."

Natsumi was dressed all spiffy in her uniform and her hair pulled into a tight bun high up on the back of her head.

Ichika - "Have a good day, stay safe, and try not to sleep in class Sans."

Sans chuckled and avoided Ichika ruffling his hair.

Ichika - Get back here, brat."

He was yanked back into Ichika and she smothered him in hugs and a merciless hair shuffle/noogie. Eijirou laughed at his "misfortune" and Natsumi smiled warmly at the scene. Eventually, Sans was able to escape and was ushered to Natsumi's cruiser. Sans was already dozing off and leaning on Eijirou's shoulder.

Eijirou - "Sooo, Sans, want to dye your hair with me?"

Sans - "Huh, what...sure sure. Wake me when we get there."

He closed his eyes and they didn't open until he was in his creative writing class.

Suzuki-Sensei - "Thank you for finally joining us, Gaster. Start writing a poem about something you enjoy."

Sans stretched and whipped out his notebook and started writing with his pen.

<~>

Sans trudged out of his class just in time to see some kid with large ears pour water over Eijirou's head. Before he could intervene, Ashido appeared and flung some white-ish goo at them and their clothes started melting.

Ashido - "You might want to go to the bathroom before you're left naked in the hallway."

Sans laughed and joined the two.

Sans - "Thanks for the help Ashido. Want to join us for lunch?"

Ashido - "Sure! I saw Eiji carry you in; you were completely zonked, bad night?"

Eijirou - "No, his quirk requires a ton of energy so that means tons of sleep and food."

Sans - "What's your quirk?"

Ashido - "Acid! I can make acid come out of my hands and I can control how powerful? Toxic? How strong it is. From melting clothes to concrete."

They reached the lunchroom and Sans got in line with Ashido. Eijirou stayed out of line, but near the two.

Sans - "Hey, Ashido. How many classes do you have with Eijirou?"

Ashido - "Math, science, and arts."

Sans - "Do me a favor, don't let other people mess with him. His confidence needs a ton of work and after school he's getting his hair dyed. It might cause some backlash for a week or two, so look out for him please?"

Mina - "Deal, but you have to call me Mina~"

Sans - "Thanks Mina, I appreciate it."

San paid for a tray of curry, orange slices, plain rice, two banana yogurt drinks, and a bowl of miso soup. Mina got two hamburg steaks, kimchi rice, a few strawberries, and a strawberry milk. Eijirou walked with them to their spot inside by the heaters. Sans made sure to flash his eye to Saichi Kei, who was lurking nearby. The boy jumped and slowly retreated inside with his goons.

Eijirou - "Mina! I'm getting my hair dyed later with Sans!"

Mina - "Woah really?!"

Sans - "What? I didn't say that."

Eijirou - "Yes you did~ In Ma's car this morning you said yes~"

Sans groaned and ate a bit of his sandwich.

Mina - "I don't think you'll rock a full head of color, no offense."

Sans - "Non-taken."

Mina - "I'm thinking some light blue highlights, or OR a dark blue highlight and light blue tips!"

Sans - "Sure, fine. I'll do that in non-permanent dye."

<~>

Sans slept through his last two classes and was groggily walking to Ichika's car outside the building. Eijirou held onto his wrist and was pretty much guiding him because his eyes were having a rough time staying open. He was stopped and felt himself leaving the ground before he could react.

Sans - "Wha?"

Eijirou - "Sorry! You take forever to walk when you're tired and you're not very heavy so I figured it'd be faster to just carry you on my back."

Sans didn't say anything and relaxed even further. He was deposited into the backseat and he went back to sleep.

Ichika - "Sans, wake up."

Sans jolted and looked around. It was a very clean room with lots of bottles and chairs and sinks.

Ichika - "This young man is Haruki, he'll be giving you a slight trim and then dying your hair."

Haruki - "Gaster? Let's get you all situated. I'll be giving you a wash, dry, cut, then dye, is that okay with you?"

Sans - "Yeah, why wouldn't it be?"

Sans got situated in the chair and tilted his head back into the sink. He had his hair cut in a similar shop a few months prior, but they knicked his neck with the razor, so they never went back.

Haruki - "Some parents decide that their kids need a haircut and the kids don't want them. Kids may not be able to give consent, but they can give non-consent. They say no, they mean no. One of the rules here is not to give haircuts to unwilling kids or teens."

Sans - "How old are you?"

Haruki - "Fourteen. My aunt owns this salon and teaches me the ropes so I'm more prepared for barber school. She says I'm a natural."

Sans closed his eyes as Haruki started trimming his hair.

Sans - "I'll have to agree with her. I've had three people cut my hair after moving here and you're by far the best. You don't pull my hair and your very careful to not cut me. The last place I went to cut my neck with a razor. That lawsuit was fun."

Haruki - "Damn really? That had to have hurt. Just confirming, dark blue highlights with light blue tips?"

Sans - "Yuppers."

Haruki - "I have a few shades for each, would you like me to list them out?"

Sans - "Nah, you're the pro here, I'll trust your judgment."

Haruki - "We'll go with indigo highlights and arctic tips."

Sans enjoyed a companionable silence accompanied by Haruki's humming of classic holiday music. He almost fell back asleep but was startled back awake by his head being eased into the sink.

Haruki - "Almost done, just gotta wash your hair then dry it."

Sans hummed in acknowledgement and enjoyed the scalp massage he was subjected to. The hairdryer startled him awake and he was being helped out of the chair.

Haruki - "OkaAY -"

Sans looked up to where Haruki's head was tilted and saw a small plant floating there.

Sans - "What's that?"

Haruki - "Mistletoe. Sorry, my aunt loves to pull these pranks on me."

Eijirou - "Sans, you have to kiss whoever's under it with you!"

Sans - "Oh yeah, forgot that's a thing hu-people do."

Sans shrugged and pulled Haruki's soul so he was hunched and Sans gave him a quick peck before walking over to Ichika and Eijirou with a large yawn. Eijirou's hair was bright red and spiked up.

Sans - "Cool hair Eiji. Carry me."

Sans slumped forward and Eijirou manovered him to lay on his back again.

Eijirou - "This is going to be a thing now, isn't it?"

Sans - "Better believe it."

<~>

Sans - "And that's the story."

Katsuki was grinding his teeth. Mina was wide eyed, Denki and Eijirou were laughing at Katsuki's reaction and Sero leaned further into Tenya. Sans sat in Katsuki's lap where he wore a light blue face mask and thin cucumber slices on his eyes.

Mina demanded a squad spa day and Denki demanded first kiss stories.

Sans - "Katsuki, I can hear your murderous thoughts from here, your not killing my barber."

Denki - "You still go to him?!"

Sans - "Yeah, Haruki is damn talented with scissors, he cuts my hair every three months."

Sans could practically hear his boyfriend's grinding teeth, so he reached behind KAtsuki's head and pulled him down to kiss him. True to form, his Katsuki's rage was quelled and he went back to cuddling him like the squad wasn't there.
