Arriving back at the lab, Sans was disappointed only to find that Gaster still hadn't shown up. Where the hell was he? Well, it seemed like he had shown up, only that Sans had just missed him as there was a note placed upon one of the nearby desks. Curious, the skeletal figure went to go and pick it up into his bone-y fingers, as his pupils carefully read over the short note.

"Something came up so I'm not going to be working alongside you today either. Sorry about that, Sans. I should hopefully be back tomorrow if nothing gets in the way. I just have to have a couple of meetings with people about the core, that's all. See you hopefully within the next couple of days. - Gaster" 

Sans sighed, placing the note down as he turned towards Flowey who looked bored as he had clearly woken up while he and Frisk were out. "Where the hell have you been?" The flower complained and Sans just rolled his eyes and sighed.

"i was out with frisk. we just went to go eat." He explained, sitting down at the desk that Flowey was placed upon. The flower glared back at him as the skeleton stared at him in thought. 

"Can you stop staring at me? You're making me uncomfortable." Flowey growled.

"i was just thinking. you were the one who said you no longer wanted to be a flower. sadly gaster probably isn't going to be back for a couple of days due to sorting out things with the core. i can't figure anything out, so you're just going to have to be stuck as a flower for a little longer." He said, which only got Flowey to whine in pure annoyance about how useless Sans was. But he simply just ignored him and went to call Chara to pick him up, just so he wouldn't be a bother to him when he could have had other things to work on.

Glad to be out of Flowey's presence and away from work, Sans headed on over towards Frisk's house, as he really just wanted to be around her right now. Getting to spend time with her tonight was truly what he had been looking forward to all day. Seeing her face when she opened her front door, it brought the biggest smile to his face as he stepped in to give her a hug and he closed the door behind him.

"heya." Sans beamed, giving her a small kiss once he was inside, knowing that he couldn't be watched by Ajax. 

"Hey you." Frisk smiled in return, staring back at him lovingly as she felt lucky to be standing here in her boyfriend's arms. She had been missing him all day since leaving him at the Cafe, after running into Ajax. "I hope Ajax didn't give you any trouble after I left." Frisk murmured, leaning against Sans' chest as he happily wrapped his arms right around her and kept her body close to his. He chuckled.

"neh. i left straight after you did. so he couldn't really say all that much to me." Sans explained, earning a small nod from Frisk as she turned her head to look back at him. 

"Well, I'm sure you've been working hard all day, right? If you like I could prepare you something to eat, seeing as you probably haven't eaten since then." She said, leading him along to the kitchen. Sans told her that she didn't need to do that for him, that he was happy to just cuddle in bed with her and fall asleep together. But she insisted. 

"Otherwise you'll be complaining that you're hungry later." She teased. Sans chuckled, scratching the back of his skull while he watched her cook. They just talked and talked, before sitting down to eat in comfortable silence together. Once they had finished eating, Frisk put their dishes away into the dishwasher and decided she'd start to run a bath. "Would you like to take a bath with me?" Frisk smiled. "I don't think we've ever had one together after all. It could be kind of romantic." She said, putting her arms around the back of his spine as he grinned back at her. 

"that idea sounds... i don't know, perfect?" He responded with adoration, going to give her a kiss before they'd head off to the bathroom to run a bath and unclothe. The couple stepped into the bathtub together, making sure they were both comfortable and relaxed. 

This was nice, Sans thought. A nice bubble bath with the girl he loved. To think he had almost lost her. 

"You look so adorable with all those bubbles around you." Frisk giggled. Sans could only laugh and lightly blush cyan in return before he answered.

"i could say the same to you." He said. 

The atmosphere was just calm and relaxing. For once it felt good to not have to worry about the stress of the outside world, of life. They were just here, in the moment, spending time together, being in love like a healthy couple should. And even when they were out of the bath and just in warm clothes and in bed cuddling, Sans couldn't have been happier. Still, he really wished he could still live here so that they could do this every night. He wished that he had the ability to propose to her, because he so badly wanted to make sure she knew just how much she meant to him. That he was willing to spend the rest of his life with her. 

However, with Ajax still having more power over everything, something like that probably wasn't likely to happen any time soon. But Sans was keeping the ring. He couldn't believe he almost thought of tossing it when he had lost hope. Someday he just had to be able to propose to Frisk. Like Gaster said, the future was filled with so many different possibilities, and there was always the chance that things could get better. That they wouldn't stay like this and Sans would be able to make that commitment, he'd be able to marry her. 

"i love you, frisk." Sans murmured sleepily, just feeling like he could drift off at any moment. He had to make sure that every time they were together, she just knew that he loved her. In a world like this, you never knew what could happen. One day you can be there with your loved ones, the next you may not be. So, Sans never wanted to take the risk that something could happen and Frisk wouldn't know just how much he truly cared.

"I love you too, Sans." Frisk smiled, kissing him on the skull as she snuggled into his arms. "So very much... Goodnight." 

"goodnight, kid."
