★ Chapter 36: Lights out★
The song came to an end signaling everyone to applaud and scramble
towards the buffet that papyrus was talking about as the orchestra played a faint upbeat music.
Funny, I feel weird...I could feel shivers down my spine, even signs of goosebumps showed up onto my skin. Yes, it is a cold night as told by the grandfather clock by the buffet table but aside from that...I feel...being watched by someone.
"Darling! You did absolutely fabulous back there on the dancefloor!" Metta's voice and heels clicked me back in reality.
"Oh...it was...uh...nothing." I sheepishly answered as a blush crept on my face. Maybe I was just dizzy by the sudden turn of events.
"You're waltz really drove me to OTP land" She giggled, giving me and sans a side hug as she slipped between us.
"NGAAAH! LEMME GIVE THEM A COMPLIMENTARY NOOGIE!" Undyne suddenly bursted from who knows where and gave us a noogie.
"watch it undyne, low HP here." Sans lightly chuckled as we both broke free from her grasp.
"LOW HP OR NOT! I'LL STILL GIVE A NOOGIE!" undyne protested with that grin on her face.
"so you still gotta fish BONE to pick with us?"
"ONE MORE PUN SANS....AND YOU'RE DEAD TO ME..." Undyne grimly said.
"aren't I already dead?" Sans reasoned. I just rolled my eyes and tried not to laugh for I know that papy would suddenly pop outta nowhere and give his 101 lectures of how horrible sans' jokes are in at least an hour.
"Wow, you look absolutely beautiful my child, I see you have read my letter?" Mom winked, a hand onto the other with Asgore. So, they've worked things out, I'm happy for them.
"Yeah, I'm still having second thoughts though." I chuckled lightly, holding the sides of my dress.
"Regrets begone my child, after all, tori is the best when it comes to designing and knitting." Asgore, or should I say dad, Complimented.
"Her works are pretty simple yet prim" asgore smiled as he mouthed me a thank you. I smiled warmly and mouthed your welcome.
"Thanks, my dearest." Mom gave him a quick peck by his furry cheek.
"A.. HaHahaha.." Dad nervously grinned making mom hold fits of giggles. How cute, I'm glad they're back together again.
"Hey, why don't we start eating? We don't want to miss papy's new special creations, right?" I reasoned to avert this weird feeling of mine, I just realized I'm hungry. I haven't even eaten a single thing since I first arrived here!
"INDEED! IN FACT, I BAKED A NEW DISH RECIPE FROM A BOOK! HERE, I MADE THESE ESPECIALLY FOR EVERYONE." His bones clanked by a nearby door from the kitchen, a tray on two of his white-gloved phalanges, two onto each of his shoulders and one onto his head as he happily skipped down the carpet covered stairs.
The mouthwatering scent wafted around us, tempting our noses. Papy's enthusiasm pushed him to balance the trays but it was not good enough.
"THESE SWEET TREATS WOULD SURELY FILL YOU WITH-AAHH!" Baked goodies suddenly flew in midair, alerting me and sans.
In instant, my reflexes acted. A golden string of magic like dust escaped the tip of my fingers and created a big pillow for papy to land on.
Sans flicked his fingers and the puffs magically appeared onto the multiple trays on his hands.
"OOOF! WHAT IS UP WITH ME AND THIS STAIRS." Papy mumbled a groan as I helped him stand on his feet.
"told ya they're always UP to something." Sans whistled calmly. "THANK YOU FRISK, IF IT WAS NOT FOR YOU, MY ELEGANT SUIT WOULD BE STAINED."
"Your welcome papy." I smiled.
"IF IT WAS STAINED, I HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE TO BUY A NEW ONE FOR OTHER OCCASIONS TO COME."
"you could've said it is was PRICELESS" sans chuckled. Oh god no.....I was expecting for an earsplitting scream but instead I heard laughter?
"HAHAHAHAHA GOOD ONE BROTHER." Papy guffawed. Huwah? Since when did papy appreciate sans' puns and jokes?
"I MUST ADMIT IT WASN'T SO BAD SANS, I ACTUALLY APPRECIATE YOUR COMEDIC ATTITUDE BEFORE BUT IT JUST GETS ANNOYING EVERY TIME YOU PULL JOKES AND PUNS AT THE WRONG TIME OR MOMENT."
I never thought papy felt that way for sans, since he really shows his actions of annoyance to puns.
"oh hehe, thanks so much bro, you don't even know how OLIVE you so much." Very surprised sans was as he wrapped his skeletal hands to papy.
"NYEHEHEHEH OF COURSE, I DO HAVE A DEEP REGARD FOR YOU AS WELL..." Papy's smile grew wider but it immediately faded away with a troubled look.
I frowned and picked the trays by the table, carefully balancing each of them. "Hey, papy, you might need some help this time." I grinned.
"WHY THANK YOU FRISK!" papy approved with a forced smile, as he picked 2 of the trays to serve everyone around.
"welp, i'll let you guys have a little bond."
Sans said, giving me a hand to balance the other tray.
"meet me at the balcony after this okay."
"Why?"
"its...an..uhh...surprise." He sheepishly smiled blushing a shade of blue.
I giggled, and pecked his cheekbone. "OK, I'll see you later then."
Whew! Serving people is hard! Imagine wearing heels on a slippery tiled floor. That's how hard it is. I should've worn my boots.
I strolled beside papy who's constantly staring blankly at his baked cream puffs. "Hey papy, are you alright? Something bothering you?" I asked.
"OH NYEHEHEHE I SURELY AM ALRIGHT!
...I'M......I....I'M JUST HAPPY FOR YOU AND SANS." He sighed.
"Happy? But you sound utterly depressed than happy." I frowned.
"I'M FINE, RELIEVED THAT YOU CAME TO MAKE SANS HIMSELF AGAIN."
"TO BE HONEST.....I REALLY NEVER SAW HIM HAPPIER THAN THIS, LOCKING UP IN HIS ROOM AND BOTTLING HIS EMOTIONS...HE DOES THAT EVERYDAY."
"EVERY FAKE SMILE HE SHOWS BREAKS MY HEART, SHOWING HIS DEPRESSION AND SADNESS. BUT NOW, LOOK AT HIM...HIS FAKE SMILE, NOW A GENUINE SMILE BECAUSE OF YOU."
We both turned our heads to watch my boyfriend, saying puns and laughing from afar.
"And? Why does that make you look um...less energetic." I stammered, my frown revealing as i watched his melancholic face.
"JUST...." He trailed off avoiding eye contact, and sighed.
"TAKE CARE OF SANS...." Now a smile plastered on his pale face.
"You know I will....always." I patted his back in reassurance.
I bid a hug and goodbye to papy then walked my way to the balcony. I drew the curtains carefully and crept outside.
"Sans?"
I walked across the marble flooring and I saw him strumming his old guitar as he sat by the edge. I smiled and slowly sat beside him.
"What's up?"
"eeek!" He squeaked looking pale than he really is.
"The gems" he played it calmly, trying to prevent stuttering.
I chuckled for a few good seconds. "What'cha doing here?" I smiled holding his other hand as we both looked at the blanket of sparkling gems above us.
He lightly chuckled and worked his phalanges down the strings. "ya know, just setting up the mood, taking in the view and playing the guitar."
"Oh?"
"yep, its been awhile since I played, since well, I didn't have a pretty good audience as great as you." a genuine smile he showed.
"Well, I'm here now. At least try?" I smiled.
"well..its...uh....still...complicated...since...I...umm..." He stuttered uncontrollably, blushing 50 shades of blue.
"Rusted, are you? Well, let me guess...I should teach you huh." I winked.
|| Sans' POV ||
"Remember how you taught me? Well, you simply told me to play not in mind..." I stared at her careful actions.
"But to play at heart." Frisk sat closer to me and held my two hands like it was hers and she strummed a simple tune.
Ohgodohgodohgod! She's so close to me, welp, I know we danced and all but this moment feels like my nonexistent heart wants to jump right out of my chest.
"How hard could that be?" She giggled, releasing her soft grasp. I lightly frowned, as she backed away.
She gave me a nod, telling me to give it a try. I was hesitant, welp, its just gonna be easy. I grabbed the stringed instrument and tried to play the song, I've always wanted to play to her.
(Play the vid above to add some feels :D)
Falling in love.....with....you🎶
I strummed the last part, she smiled and leaned to my shoulder as I hugged her by the side, my chin above her head.
"Told you it was just easy" she whispered.
I sighed, ruffling her soft brown hair. We sat there for a few minutes which seemed like forever but then I planned to start a conversation.
The conversation we had wasn't really about awkward stuff but it was just a simple light hearted talk about the past. We shared our experiences before when we were great friends and didn't I know that she liked me till we became friends!
Holy cow, that was a lot to take in...I should've known earlier. After a long chat, Frisk accidentally made a pun then there! A pun war happened making the both of us laugh and holler like maniacs.
Our laughter ceased which was soon followed by an awkward silence.
|| Third person's POV ||
The two sat there letting the silence atmosphere consume them. "hey, frisk would you like to play a game?" Frisk's head perked up instantly.
(If ya know this reference you're totally awesome X3)
"A game? What game? Is it hard?" Frisk looked overjoyed but she was still filled with confusion. "its just a game I made up, its just easy." Sans winked.
Frisk's expression was serious but ready to listen and execute. "first, gimme five wait, no ten" the brown chocolate haired girl reluctantly raised her two hands between them.
Sans did the same as they touched. "now give me twenty." Sans smirked looking at Frisk's troubled expression.
Frisk stepped on Sans' feet slowly closing the gap between them. Closer they are. "howzabout twenty one?"
Frisk grew a bit annoyed of Sans' playful tricks as showed on her scrunched face, but she secretly could feel the heat rising up her lightly tanned cheeks.
"what? is that an exemption?" Sans taunted. "No, of course not! its just that you- Sans interlaced his fingers with hers and pulled her in for a kiss.
For a second thought, Frisk melted into the passionate kiss that only lasted for a few seconds.
"you were saying?" Sans raised a nonexistent brow. "you don't...you....just...GAAAAAAAH!" Frisk screamed out of the blue and covered her flushed cheeks.
Amused by her cute actions, Sans gave out a chuckle and held her close.
"you shouldn't be ashamed." he mused.
"I-i-i'm n-not!" she stifled a response.
"you are"
"a-am n-not!
"hehe ok, whatever you say so." Sans sighed as Frisk looked up to him.
"I love you Frisk."
"I love you too Sans."
The two hugged each other under the light of the gems. Sooner, loud screams rang and the lights blinked nonstop from the crowd.
Both of their faces was replaced by a worried expression as they eagerly dashed inside the chaotic crowd.
The earth beneath them shook and rumbled as they watched all the monsters running to and fro from every direction.
"What the heck is going on?!" Undyne shouted, puzzled as she watched everyone running and screaming for dear life.
"Oh no...i-its th-he core! He-e-eat reactivity just f-f-fell as well as t-t-the.... power l-l-lines supplying the whole u-u-underground!" Alphys' claws shook as she observed the stats on a weird looking device.
"QUICK! EVERYONE! EVACUATE THIS PLACE IMMEDIATELY!" Asgore's voice thundered guiding each monster to the exit along with undyne and alphys.
"I thought Dr. Wingding already put an end to this!" Asgore exclaimed looking at a nervous alphys for an answer.
"H-he did my k-king! we c-ch-checked multiple t-times! There's no way that this would p-p-possibly happen!" Alphys stuttered as sweat beaded up her forehead, simultaneously typing numbers and codes on the device.
"Undyne! Round up the Royal Guards! Make sure everyone gets to safety!" Asgore ordered earning a stern nod from Undyne.
"Where's papy?" Both Sans and Frisk said. Not a moment has passed, Sans teleported away to find his dear brother.
While Frisk held her dress high and her heels off to run around and find papy. "PAPY!" Frisk called for three times, as dust from the cracked ceiling fell down on her face.
"Papy! Oh where have you been!" Frisk exclaimed to the crouched tall skeleton under the table.
"Papy?"
The tall skeleton started murmuring words that made him cry orange hot tears. Frisk crouched down and approached the frightened skeleton.
"FRISK I'M SO SORRY I DIDN'T TELL YOU OR ANYONE ABOUT THIS." papy's muffled sobs filled frisk with confusion.
"Didn't tell anyone? What do you mean papy?" Frisk furrowed her brows to the cowering skeleton.
"I...I....T-THE....P-POWER....BREAKDOWN...IT WAS MY FAULT...BUT! YOU AND THE OTHERS MUST ESCAPE NOW BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!" papy frantically fidgeting ordered.
"Too late? What? I don't understand...Just tell me."
"I...ITS...I...I-I-I..I-ITS...." papy stuttered as the innocent girl's curiosity grew.
"Tell me papy, why are you blaming yourself? What do you mean? Its too late for what?" Frisk stared at papy not averting her eyes nor twitching.
"ITS.....-
The power went out, even the artificial gems above the ceiling ceased. Total darkness was present. But...a figure from the darkness emerged.
"toLd yOU I woUlD cOme BAck" a sinister giggle echoed followed by a maniac laugh.
"I fear this time would come.."
