Setting the Stage: Uh... Uh... Earlyish? Maybe? (Is rushing to get stuff done)

~Your Perspective~

VRRRR. VRRRR. Your phone impatiently buzzed on the nightstand next to your bed.

"Go away..." You mumble pulling your blanket over top of your head to try and block out the annoying device's pleas. It was Sunday, meaning you didn't have to work today, so you decided to try and sleep in for once. You finally give in and fully wake up. After stretching a bit, you check your phone to find many texts from Sans.

"Hey, whats up Buttercup" Sans 9:45

"Buttercup, ya up yet?" Sans 10:00

"(Y/N)? I thought we were going to hang out today?" Sans 10:07

"Buttercup, you're usually up by now" Sans 10:10

"(Y/N) Don't tell me you're sick again???" Sans 10:13

"Awe crap!" You silently scold yourself. You completely forgot about your plans today.. Reaching for your phone, you decide to text back your impatient boyfriend.

"Hey, sorry I slept in today, Didn't mean to worry you" You 10:15

"Its fine, I just care about you, ya' know" Sans 10;15

"Aw, anyways, I'll be there in a little bit, just gotta get ready" you 10:16

" Alright see ya then, don't get lost on your way again ;)" Sans 10:17

"Saaaaaaaans, " You 10:17

"And don't fall into a snowdrift either, I don't want a (y/n)-sicle" Sans 10:18

"Saaaans, its too early for bad jokes" You 10:18

"Alright, alright, see you soon." Sans 10:19

"See ya" you 10:19

You put your phone down and jump down from bed, deciding to get dressed. The moment your feet touch the ground, the door to your room flies open and your tackled by a blue and purple bullet of energy. After tackling you, frisk bounces excitedly on your stomach.

'Goat mom made pancakes!' Your little sister happily signs to you.

"Ok, ok, I'm coming, give me a minute." you respond, slowly sitting up. Frisk excitedly pulls you to your feet and drags to the kitchen for pancakes. After the quick breakfast, you're able to sneak back to your room to get ready for the day.

It takes you a while but you're finally on the familiar trail to Snowdin. Listening to your favorite song, you can't help but lose yourself in the music and hum along, allowing you to fail to notice the jagged rock in your path...

"Gahh!" You yell, tripping over the rock, scraping your leg in the process. Ouch. You now have a new tear in your already ripped up jeans, and a small trail of blood lazily making its way down your calf.

"Damn it... these were my favorite jeans too." you whine, wiping the snow and blood off your poor leg. "That's it, no more music on the way to snowdin." You pull yourself up and brush off the snow that was on you.

You finally make it to the skelebros house, and just as you're about to open the door, it flies open and you're faced with the taller (and louder) of the two brothers.

"HELLO (Y/N)! IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU HERE!" Papyrus announces.

"Hey Papyrus." You responding, giving him a small wave in return. "Where are you off to?"

"I, THE GREAT PAPYRUS, HAVE TO GO OFF AND TRAIN WITH THE ROYAL GUARD!" Papyrus exclaims, continuing on his way to Undyne's house. "SEE YOU, OLDER HUMAN!"

"Bye Papyrus." You wave to him as you enter the cozy house. You find Sans on the couch, as always.

"Hey buttercup, thought I heard you" He says looking over from the tv.

"Hey, anything on?" You ask, plopping down next to your boyfriend. Even after all the time you guys have spent together, it's still amazing to think that he really is your boyfriend.

"Just the usual, Mettaton, Mettaton, and more Mettaton" He smiles at you, "Do you want to watch a movie?"

" Did you get anything new from the dump?" You ask, " I don't think I can handle another sci fi marathon."

"Welp, then a movie is out of the question. What do you want to do then?" Sans says, sighing.

"Hmmmm...." You hum, leaning your head on his shoulder, causing the skeleton blush a light blue. Even though the walk to Sans' house isn't far, you're still tired. He eventually relaxes, and leans his head on top of yours. You guys stay like that for a while, just enjoying the moment. You start thinking about your life up on the surface. You used to have this guy you really liked. The two of you hung out a lot, and were pretty good friends. But before either of you could get really close, your family moved to Mt. Ebott.

'It's not a bad thing though, if we never moved then I'd never have met Sans." you think to yourself, sighing contently. You try to shift your position, find you leg slightly stuck to the old saggy couch. You see what it is, just to find that it's the scratch on your leg from earlier, that hasn't quite healed yet. It start to heal to the couch, so there's a little bit of dried blood on the couch.

"What is it?" Sans asks leaning over you to see your leg. "What did you do??"

"It's nothing, I just tripped on the way over here" You say smiling sheepishly. Sans gets off the couch and goes into the kitchen. When he returns he goes over to your leg and gently puts a band-aid over the cut area. "Wounds heal better if they are covered" Sans says, looking up into your eyes with a slight smirk, "This is an example of gauze and effect."

"Oh my gosh Sans, really?" You groan.

"C'mon, its not that bad, buttercup." He winks at you. "And plus, I've got a whole lot more where that came from" Before he could hit you with another bad pun, you lean down and give him a quick kiss on his teeth. Sans is surprised by your actions, but ends up kissing back. He moves a hand so that he's cupping the side of your face. He starts rubbing small circles on your cheek when the door flies open.

"Hello darlings~" Mettaton says as he barges into the house, a giant fur coat on and a bright pink scarf. " oh... I didn't mean to interrupt your, er, moment." He brushes a piece of hair out of his eyes dramatically.

You pull back in surprise while Sans stands up. "What do you want, rust bucket?"

"No need to be so rude, Sans." Mettaton replies, leaning on the side of the couch, crossing his fingers under his chin. " I'm here on behalf of Alphys."

"Why didn't she just come here herself? We did she send her robot messenger?" Sans asks sitting himself down on the couch and placing an arm protectively around your shoulders.

"She's fixing one of my parts, saying it's time for an update or something. I don't really pay attention, she does the science and I look fabulous." Mettaton responds, checking his non-existent nails. "Anyways, she wanted me to come check on you two. She said that you weren't answering your phone or something" You quickly check your pockets for your phone only to not find it there.

"Crap... " you mumble, checking your pockets more thoroughly, slightly freaking out. What if Frisk needed you for something? What if it was an emergency? "Dang it. I must've dropped it on my way over here."

"Well, I've done my part, though Alphys might be a little sad I ruined your moment, oh well" Mettaton said as he waltzed out the door, "Toodles, lovebirds~" he waved before he shut the door and ventured back to hotland.

"That was, uh, unexpected" Sans says, slowly getting up, and offering you his hand. "Welp, your phone isn't going to find itself, now is it, Buttercup?" You take his hand, blushing slightly at the small contact.

"Y-yeah, i guess it won't." You say, getting up and heading out into the cold outdoors with Sans. Hopefully you'll find your phone soon.

~Mettaton's POV~

"Toodles, lovebirds~" I say, walking to the door, waving to (Y/N) and the smiley trash bag. I guess I should check back with Alphys to see how the part is, and tell her about her favorite couple.

"They are kinda cute though, I must admit." I sigh, pushing my hands in the pockets of my fur coat. Even if it came from the dump, and a star like would never wear something from a gross place like that, I still love it. My cousin, Blooky got it for me when he found out I was going to become corporeal. "Maybe I'll stop by him, waterfall isn't that far of a walk from here."

A few more minutes and I'm there. I go up to the door and knock three times. No answer. I knock again, more forcefully. No answer. "He must be in the ruins then...I guess I'll just leave a note." I carefully pull out a glitter pen and a piece of paper, then begin my note.

Blooky,

Hey, Mettaton here. I was just checking in to see how you are. It's been a while, maybe we can hang out sometime? But who knows if I'll ever get time, being the star that I am. Anyways, I hope I'll catch you next time I'm in waterfall.

~Mettaton

"There," I say, signing the note with my beautiful, scribbly signature. "I hope he sees this" I guess I should continue on to Alphys' lab, she's probably done fixing my new update.

I finally get to hotland, and in turn to Alphys' lab. The doors slide open revealing her messy lab.

"Alphys! I'm back!" I shout, trying to get the reptile's attention. I hear some hurried footsteps, a few crashes and then I spot her coming down the escalator.

"S-sorry Mettaton. I d-didn't hear you enter." She stutters. "I g-got your update d-done, if you want to c-come upstairs and install it."

"Yeah, sure Alphys." I say, taking off the fur coat and following her to her lab area. After plugging in the wires to start installing the update, I go one to tell her about (Y/N) and Sans.

"I checked on Sans and (Y/N) for you, and they're doing quite well if I do say so myself." I say, thinking back to the encounter.

"O-oh really?" She immediately perked up at the mention of her OTP, or whatever it's called.

"Yeah, they were at the skeleton's house, as you predicted." I continue, a small smile making its way to my face. "And they were alone"

"Oh, were they?" She smiled, pushing up her glasses.

"Before you go on rambling about what might've happened, I tell you nothing did, at least nothing much" I cut her off with a small smirk of some sort.

"O-oh, yeah, p-probably not." She stutters "Anyways, t-the update is finished n-now." Alphys then proceeds to unplug her computer from my back.

"Thank you, Alphys," I say, getting up and heading towards the exit. "I'll see you around"

"B-bye Mettaton" She responds, waving slightly then rushing to continue her work.

I continue out of the lab and into the heat of hotland, towards my next destination. My premier show isn't going to film itself!

~Your POV~

You and Sans continue, hand in hand, to look for your poor phone. Man, I hope it didn't break, you sigh. Walking with Sans, you look up at the snow slowly falling from the ceiling. It's quite peaceful here in Snowdin, I mean the tall pine forests to your left and right just give it a magical feeling.

"Do you have any idea where you dropped it?" Sans pulls you out of your thoughts with his small question.

"Nope, my best guess would be when I tripped," you respond, starting to swing you and Sans' arms slightly. "It's a little bit up here" You point to the set of rocks up ahead.

"Okie-dokie." Sans responds, letting you two fall into a comfortable silence.

"So, how's the hot dog stand in hotland going?" You question, hoping to fill the silence.

"It's going pretty dog-gone well, if you ask me." Sans responds, winking at you.

"My goooossssh Sans, that was bad." You complain, groaning in annoyance, but still smiling nonetheless. Sans just chuckles in response, finding your reaction amusing.

"I know, it was pretty pawful, wasn't it?" Sans chuckles to himself again.

"Saaans, enough with the bad puns" You whine. "Anyways, it's just up here." you let go of Sans' hand to jog over to the rock that injured you ever so slightly.

You begin to frantically dig through the snow in the area. "..It should be around here somewhere..." you continue to look. Sans gets down on his knees to help you look too. You starting to freak out. You don't have enough money to buy a new one, and you don't want to have Alphys make you a new one."Where is it???"

"Hey, Buttercup" Sans says. You look up to see what he has to say, just to get a face full of snow. Sans just chuckles at your face. Wiping it off, you look to see what he really wanted to tell you. He's holding up your phone, dangling it between his thumb and first finger.

"You found it!" You exclaim, relieve flowing through you. You go to reach for your phone when Sans pulls it just out of reach. He smiles mischievously at you."You think you're so funny, don't you?" You give him the same grin he's giving you.

You lean forward once more to grab your phone, but Sans is quicker than you and he catches you wrist with the hand that doesn't contain your phone.He then pulls you into him, smashing his teeth onto your lips.

You slowly kiss back, relaxing into your position, causing Sans' cheeks to turn a bright shade of blue and you blush a bright pink. Sans moves so that his hand that has your phone is resting on your side. You take this moment to break the kiss and reach over to grab your phone. Once you have your phone back you quickly put it into your jacket pocket.

"Guess that backfired" Sans mumbles, he was hoping to keep your phone hostage just a little bit longer. " Well, I guess you should probably head back to Toriel's, since we're this close."

"Yeah... I guess." You respond, turning on your ice-cold phone to check the time. "Yeah, It's 6, Toriel will probably want be home for dinner, oh wait, she texted me." you check your phone, all 3 messages from Toriel are asking about dinner. "You can come with if you want"

"Nah, Papyrus is making his 'special' spaghetti tonight, I don't think he'll want me to miss it." Sans responds standing up, and pulling you up in the process. He then walks you back to the door that leads to the ruins.

"Thanks for walking me back," you respond, sheepishly shoving your hands back in your pockets. Sans does the same, looking down at his feet. You then proceed to fall into an awkward silence. That's when Sans breaks it, giving you a tight hug, resting his head on your shoulder. You do the same, sighing. You stay connected like that for a few moments, content and peaceful.

Eventually, you break the hug to knock on the giant door and texting Toriel that you're back.

"See ya around, Buttercup" Sans says waving and heading out into the forest.

"Bye Sans" You wave back just in time before he teleports away back to his cozy home. Not long after, the door is answered by you adoptive mother.

"Welcome back (Y/N)" She greets you, stepping aside to let you enter the ruins. "Did you have a nice time with Sans?" she asks.

"Yeah, " You respond, smiling slightly. "Just another normal day."

"Ah, as expected." She continues one ahead. "I made some butterscotch-cinnamon pie for dinner tonight, if that's alright."

"Of course Toriel!" You reply. Toriel's butterscotch-Cinnamon pie is the best. "You know I love your pie," Finally making it up to the kitchen, you find Frisk already in her seat. She's bouncing excitedly in her chair, apparently the idea of pie excites her as much as it does you.

"What did you do today?" Your little sister signs to you as you find your seat at the table.

"It was alright, just the usual. Sorry I didn't get your text, I dropped my phone in a snowdrift." You explain, digging into your pie.

"That would explain a lot" she signs back while rolling her eyes at you. She's already halfway done with her piece.

"I'm sorry, but you know me, it was bound to happen sooner or later." You shrug, taking another slice of the scrumptious pie. You think back to today, about tripping on that stupid rock, loosing your phone, and Mettaton's surprise visit.

"Yeah, I have to show you my awesome drawings!" she signs back, taking another slice of pie.

"It is quite good for a kid of her age." Toriel say, digging into her own slice of pie. "I'm thinking of hanging it in the hallway."

"Oh really, Then I ought to see this" You slowly get up from the table following Frisk to were her 'masterpiece' is. She takes back to your shared room and pulls it out of one of the drawers. It's a well drawn stick figure family.You can spot Frisk, Toriel and you. Frisk is in between you and toriel, holding your hands. You notice next to you is Sans, and you and him are holding hands also. "Awe, you put Sans in here too?"

"Of course! Dunkle is basically part of the family now that he's your boyfriend." she happily signs setting the paper down onto the desk.

"Yeah, I guess he is, isn't he" You respond.

Frisk and you spend a few more hours making bad stick figure drawings, and Toriel does end up framing the family one. As you're heading to bed that night, you can't help but smile at your new family. However odd it may be, you couldn't ask for a better mom, sister or boyfriend.
