Sans POV

As I embraced Chara, I wasn't thinking about anything except making sure that she was okay.. and alright.., I felt my skull turn a little hot..

Was I blushing?

No.. that couldn't be the case.. I had a girlfriend after all.. so why would I be- "I.. I hate that I love you..", I heard Chara say into my shirt.. I-I must've heard wrong.. Chara.. she couldn't have said.. that..

Right..?

I tightened my embrace.., I didn't wanna let her go..but, I knew I had to.. before someone like Tori or Pap walked in on this.. and that would just be pretty.. gross.. seeing she was..still..in..a..towel...

"Why.. are you so nice to me..?" She asked.. voice soft in tone..
"Heh.. I should ask you the same thing.."

I never really knew why me and Chara were so chummy with each other in the first place. She killed everyone I loved over and over again as I sat there and watched. While I killed her countless times to only achieve nothing.., we were both at fault for what'd we had done but, somehow.. we never brung it up..

"You were only trying to save the rest of who was left.. Comedian.., the sins I've committed are so much worse than your selfless act of courage..", her words hit a part in my chest.. I wanted to say nothing.. but at the same time.. I wanted to comfort her..

So why not do both..?

I cupped my hand on her right cheek making her look at me.., "Sans..?".. I looked into blazing red eyes.. a little bit of the black stuff strolling from her them getting onto the side of my hand.. it stung but.. not that much..

We atleast stayed in that stare for about 2 minutes before I snickered, ruining the mood.., she looked at my confused as I messed up her hair with my hand, petting her.

"Just.. watch yourself, Char. Cause.. someone reeeaaaaally cares about you." I said in my regular, lazy voice as I exited the bathroom and walked to my room... blushing as I did so..

As I closed my room door and locked it like I always did, I looked at my bed and almost screamed and grabbed my chest..

Esmé was sitting on my bed, reading a book.. she had her hair taken down, it seemed like she'd been here for a while..

She looked up at me, and her face immediately switched to an adorable smile as she got up rather quickly and ran over to me. "Sansy!", she shouted, hugging me tightly..

"Esmé.. what are you doing here..?! You know you're not allowed to be in this house right now..remember?", I missed her too.. but, I was told my Frisk that I'd have to go to her house to see her for an unknown reason.. and.. I couldn't turn down the kid..

Not again..

"I missed you! And you weren't responding to my texts, nor my calls..so I got worried.. so I came here! And they let me right in to come see you! I just had to stay put in here is all!~"

O h.

I checked my phone to see 50 text messages and 20 calls from "Poptart", which is what I set her name as in both my phone and my text.. "Shit.. I'm sorry Esmé.. I guess, I got caught up in something-"

"You aren't cheating on me.., are you..?"

I flinched at her sudden words, "w-what? Where would you get that idea from-"

She grabbed my wrist tightly.. tighter than usual making me gasp at the sudden yank.. she look at my wrist, then took her finger and scraped a little bit of the black goo from off my hand onto her finger..

I heard a grunt in pain as she wiped it off and stared at my wrist.. "This is new.. who is this from? How did you get it..?", Jesus holy fuck..- how could she even see that..??

"Uh.. ya see-"
I heard her voice start to crack as tears formed in her eyes.. I immediately felt guilty.. 'Shit..-'

"I know I'm.. n-not the best but, I try.., I just wanna m-make you happy.." she covered her eyes and started to cry.. "No, no! P-please don't cry! I'd never cheat on you!" I said, trying to reassure her..

I quickly took her into my arms, hugging her tightly trying to make her calm down.. "I'm sorry.."

"I love you.. nobody else, okay..?"
"Really..?"
"O-of course.."
"I.. I love you to.."

I sighed in relief.. and started to run my fingers through her hair..

"I promise, I'll never leave your side.."
