The distant sound of the city continued outside, cars humming past the window. A dog parking could be heard, a train rolling in the background. The T.V was playing in the room, but was lost to the sounds of their own conversation.

Sans and Toby would admit they were both love struck by one another. They had good chemistry, though, who could blame them? Toby had very fluffy hair, the type that Sans liked running his phalanges through. Sans was short, allowing for Toby to scoop him up into hugs. Toby really liked hugs, as did Sans.

The two lovers were curled onto the bed, bodies pressed together. Sans' hands dug through Toby's hair while Toby's arms clutched the back of his blue hoodie, holding him as close as possible.

"Missed you," Sans hummed out, pinching a piece of hair between his fingers. "A lot."

"S-Same," Toby agreed, resting his forehead against Sans'. "I couldn't t-t-t-text you, I had to get a n-n-n-new phone."

"I figured, they took your number off of my phone while I had been asleep. They even blocked you and deleted your messages without asking me," Sans mumbled, "I should get your email, too, just in case."

"Good i-idea..."

Although they had only been away for one day from each other, the sheer threat of being split apart had taken its toll. If this had occurred in their first or second month of dating, the threat wouldn't have been as impactful. However, this was over a year into their relationship, and they had grown rather close over that time. With each month that had passed, the fear of being split apart grew more and more until the scare had them grasping each other for comforting hugs and kisses.

"I'll probably be staying in this hotel for awhile," Sans whispered, "We agreed it'd be more safe, and we agreed they shouldn't come over so much in case they were followed."

"That's g-g-good," Toby said, "We don't want T-Toby to come and f-f-f-f-find you, that'd suck..."

"It really would," Sans replied, "If he happened to sneak in through my living room window while I was sleeping, and happened to... do things to me..."

Both of their gazes lingered towards the others mouths.

"Yeah, i-it would be a shame... i-i-if Toby broke in while you had been sleeping and y-you found yourself in a s-situation..."

They both leaned forward slightly, letting their mouths connect in the middle. Sans' hands trailed down from Toby's hair, grasping the back of his neck to pull him closer and-

"W-Wait."

Toby gently sat up on the back of his elbows, looking over at Sans.

"What?" Sans asked.

"What if y-you... you came w-w-with me?" Toby asked, leaning against the pillows. "I mean, we can run a-a-away together."

"Run away?" Sans asked, following him up onto his elbows. "Like, from everyone? You sure?"

"Yeah!" Toby said, "So I-I don't have to kill people a-a-anymore, and you d-d-d-don't have to worry about trying to hide me. We c-could wait a f-f-few months then, once my p-proxy role fades off, w-w-we can explain to Papyrus why I didn't have any choice. Send him updates a-and stuff, just for a bit... I know you don't want t-t-to leave him, but it'd help us b-both get away for a bit so we can b-b-be together."

"That... That's actually... " Sans climbed out of his bed.

"What are y-you-"

"I actually planned this a bit ago, like, a few months back," Sans explained, pulling out his laptop onto the desk in the corner of the room. "I transferred a lot of my money to a separate account that Papyrus doesn't know about, and I have a few hotels pulled up awhile away in the middle of cities that we could go to, away from the forest, and pretty far away from here. So your Boss couldn't find you, and your proxy servitude to him would fade off in that time, He wouldn't know where you've gone, Paps wouldn't know where I've gone, and that'd be it."

Toby approached from behind, leaning down to look at the computer screen next to Sans.

"They're all a-a-animal free?" He asked.

"You said you've always wanted a dog," Sans said, turning towards him with a smile. "So, babe, you wanna run away?"

Toby had no hesitation before he hugged Sans.

"Y-Yes!" He said, planting a kiss on his cheekbone. "But no poisoning yourself. Or myself."

"Noted," Sans snorted.

Paper scraped as a sigh sounded, the tall skeleton gently folding the letter open. The bare envelope lay as a reminder to how they had found his hotel room empty, a single not left on that fateful day. Sans had run away, with Toby, the very man Papyrus had thought was going to hurt his brother.

There was plenty enough evidence now that Toby was far from that. The letter itself was written by Sans, his distinct comic font used throughout all the letters. He explained everything, to how they had met, to why Toby had suddenly killed that person. Sans would return later, but for now, he and Toby would both hide. For their happiness.

Papyrus couldn't object to that. The defeated, utter hopeless look Sans had held that morning after the killing was horrible to look at. At the first note, Papyrus had been worried for his brothers safety. Running away with a killer at just one whim? At least he swore it would only be for a few months, and that he intended to see his brother again.

Surprisingly, Papyrus wasn't the only one who accepted the note. He had known Toby for awhile now, and he knew Sans. Sans wasn't stupid, especially when it came to abandoning everything for another man. He knew Toby for a good time now, and everyone understood that Sans knew what he was doing. Undyne closed her lips and briskly nodded, calling Asgore to call off the search for Toby. Alphys went silent, but Papyrus could see she was mouthing 'otp' into her clawed hands.

Toriel was the only one who didn't accept it, she didn't like it. "Sans wouldn't just leave us, he's been kidnapped by Toby!" The note was in Sans' handwriting, he was the only person in the world who was able to write in perfect comic sans, much like Papyrus and his own font. "Clearly Toby forced Sans to write it!" Then why would he force Sans to write such a long note? And why wouldn't Sans try to at least write in a clue? "Sans is lying, he wouldn't date a killer! He's probably just lovesick, we have to save him!" Sans is smart, he wouldn't go running away with a man without a good reason. Not to mention he said he would be sending notes often and would plan to meet once again. "Sans doesn't love him! He's being tricked!" Actually, if anything, Toby was the most truthful to Sans. Sans said in the note he met Toby after Toby had killed someone, and looking at the dates, it lined up to a murder near Sans' house that had occured. Papyrus could recall checking in on Sans to make sure he was okay. "We blocked Toby's number off of Sans' phone, clearly he's been followed!" That one earned looks from everyone, Toriel having retreated under their gazes. No, they hadn't. And they weren't aware that she had done that when she had grabbed his phone to 'look for evidence' after the ice skating incident.

After a week, Toriel's excuses sputtered out of their fuel, becoming nothing more than upset comments at the passing. And when the first sent note arrived in the mail, she had lost any more excuses she could hope to create, as it became clear that Sans was perfectly willing and happy running away with Toby. Not only was there another letter describing how they were doing, confirming how they were alive, there was a picture of the two. Naturally t-posing, something Papyrus didn't understand why Sans found it so funny, but he accepted the picture with a thankful sigh nevertheless. Sans and Toby were both alive, and were both doing okay.

Notes came once a week for the past few months, each detailing information. Papyrus was glad Sans didn't cut them out, he would have been worried sick about Sans' safety and health. Toby and Sans were doing well, they were happy together. No abuse, no kidnapping. Just two boyfriends going on a retreat to ensure Toby wouldn't have to kill people anymore.

This particular note, however, was one Papyrus found grinning widely at. It was a note detailing how Sans had found a cool restaurant in the city, but this time, gave a location and date. For Papyrus to come and see his brother again, so they could catch up.

So this wasn't like Romeo and Juliet, in the end. Toby had discarded his needs for killing, and Sans' family accepted Toby as his boyfriend.

What a great way to end their story.
