A month had passed.

An entire month of dating nine separate people. Jane, Jack, Laughing Jack, Hoodie, Masky, Bloody, Slender, and Splendor. It was weird, going from dating one single person to dating nine at the same time, but Sans was open to new experiences.

One large problem they had to face was how exactly it would work, as there was only one Sans while he had eight boyfriends and one girlfriend.

At first, Sans had thought a schedule would allow for him to be able to split his time for them, but it proved impossible, as everyone wanted most of his time and didn't agree on anything. When Sans had finally managed to create a somewhat agreeable schedule, Sally walked in and got upset as she wanted to hang out with Sans as well, throwing out the entire schedule.

They then thought of the idea 'Whoever gets to Sans first gets to hang out with him for that day', but that just ended up with everyone rushing to his room and Sans waking up grumpily at four in the morning, throwing pillows at all of them.

Now, it was just whatever they felt like doing. Sometimes Sans would just be watching T.V and Jane would lean over the couch to give him a hug. Other times, he would just be making dinner when Masky would come in and hug him from behind before helping him cook. It was nice, so nice that it actually made Sans burst into tears on the first day from receiving so much affection from so many people.

But now, it was more normal, and everyone actually seemed to enjoy it.

"Sans, Sans!" Sally said, running up to him. "Can we go out? I wanna go play at a park with Toby!"

"Sure, why not?" Sans said, "Do you have your bandages and phone?"

She nodded eagerly, holding a light pink book bag and Charlie close to her chest. Her legs bounced up and down in anticipation as Sans put away the book he was reading, standing up from his seat in his room.

Sally was adorable when she was excited, which happened a lot because she got excited over such small things. The face he loved would curl into a large smile, those green eyes sparkling with joy.

"Are both of you going somewhere?" Jeff asked, using his knife to pick under his fingernails as he walked in.

-blade slicing across his chest, the unbearable pain making tears slither down his face. He was screaming, it hurt, he didn't want to die again-

"Uh, yeah." Sans gulped down the sense of anxiety that had bubbled up with that memory. "We're going to the park with Toby."

"If you wanna pick me up some new games from the store to play with Ben, that'd be cool, I can't keep playing Majora's Mask forever with him," Jeff said casually.

"I'll try to remember," Sans said.

"We should play that barbie game later!" Sally said to Jeff.

"Nope, nope, nope!" Jeff said, turning and briskly walking out of the room.

"Aw, shoot," Sally said.

"I can play later with you if you want," Sans said, patting her head.

"But it's funny to watch Jeff play it! He gets really mad!" Sally said.

"Jeff gets mad at a lot of things, like Jane," Sans explained.

Toby was already waiting in the car for them, banging his hands against the steering wheel to the beat of the song on the radio. Sans really liked how fluffy his hair was, he's always just play with it whenever Toby was near. So of course Sans went for the hair first, giving his head a little pat pat before settling into the passengers seat.

"H-H-H-Hi Sans!" Toby said, grinning widely at him.

To be honest, Toby probably ranked with Eyeless Jack for the CreepyPasta who shouldn't be killers, that it made no sense for them to be killers. With Laughing Jack and Jeff the Killer, it could make sense, since they enjoyed and laughed at killing. With Eyeless Jack and Toby, they seemed a little too pure, like Sally, to be killers.

It was astounding to Sans.

"You ready for s-u-u-u-uper duper fun times at t-t-t-t-the park?" Toby asked Sally.

"Yeah!" Sally giggled, "I am! Charlie and I are going to swing on the swings!"

"I could push you, I am a wicked pusher of the swing set," Sans said.

The mask around Toby's neck was dragged up to his face, covering the hole in the side of his mouth that he didn't like to talk about. Sans saw no reason to ask about it, so he never did, instead commenting on how fluffy his hair is.

"It's so fluffy, holy crap," Sans said again, reaching over to run a hand through his hair. "I seriously can't get over this, it's like a pillow on your head."

"I-I-I-I use a lot of soap-p-ps," Toby said, driving carefully through the woods. "I like h-h-h-h-h-having fluffy hair too."

"It's like a gosh darn mountain of just fluff, I just can't get over it!" Sans said, "I'm keeping my hand on your head now during the drive."

"Sans, can we go out for ice cream?" Sally asked him excitedly, "Charlie wants chocolate!"

"We can stop on the way, yeah," Sans said, looking back at her with his hand still firmly planted on Toby's head. "Would you want any ice cream?"

Sans liked Toby a lot, just as much as he liked the others. He wasn't exactly sure when the crush started for everyone, but Toby was with everyone else. There was no reason why Sans should be falling into intense crushes for a bunch of serial killers, but he did, Toby included.

Understanding him, Sans was patient and waiting for Toby to make his way through sentences. It wasn't like it was his fault, and Toby got a cute little face whenever he would scrutch up his nose and try to say a word properly.

The CreepyPasta that he liked all scored in different fields on why Sans liked them. For people like Slender and Jane, it was because they were hot, fierce and powerful, of course Sans would form little crushes on them that grew overtime. For people like Jack and Toby, it was because how adorable they were.

And that hair! Sans seriously couldn't get over how fluffy it was.

Usually when sitting with others, Sans would be the one sitting on their laps or leaning against them, but with Toby, Sans would always sit criss cross and let Toby lay his head on his lap so he could just play with his hair while they did whatever they were doing. Sans always assumed he would never really care about hair, but it was so fluffy!

Sure, both Toby and Laughing Jack were a bit more childish adults, but they were completely different in that aspect. Laughing Jack was probably insane, adorable insanity, but still insane, while Toby is a proxy and just does what Slenderman says. Laughing Jack is more of a twisted, insane childish person who really likes candy while Toby is more normal for a childish personality.

"I-I-I-I-I could have some... u-uh, vanilla I-I guess!" Toby said, "And m-m-maybe we can get s-s-s-s-some waffles too!"

"Heck yeah, I like the way you think, I gotta pick Jeff up something that I already forgot," Sans said, "I'd high five you, but my hand is occupied with your hair. Sally, can you high five Toby for me?"

"Charlie will!" Sally said, reaching up with her bear as Toby stuck his right hand back into the passenger seat, lightly tapping it with the bear paw.

"I'm totally going to order a wig online or something and just wear it to match you," Sans told Toby, "So we can match."

"Seriousl-l-ly, please d-do," Toby said.

They soon pulled into the park, Sally barely able to wait until the car was parked before she threw herself out of the door from her excitement.

"Sally, don't go out so fast, I don't want to lose sight of you!" Sans yelled to her out the window, unbuckling his seat belt. "You're going to drop your ice cream!"

"But swings!" Sally giggled.

"Wait for me!" Sans said, opening up the car door.

"Yeah, t-there's d-d-d-dangerous people out there!" Toby said.

"Like real estate agents!" Sans said.

The two made their way after Sally, who already stationed herself and Charlie onto a swing set with their ice cream cones. Of course, Sans got less for Charlie, because he didn't eat as much as Sally did. And because he was a stuffed animal too.

So he couldn't really eat any of it, period. Sans could see that Sally would just eat the extra food for Charlie after she would put it against his mouth, it was extremely adorable and he wanted to pinch her cheeks. Thankfully, as a ghost, she'd remain this cute forever, so that was pretty cool.

"Push me!" She giggled.

"You should finish your ice cream first missie, or I just might cobble it up!" Sans said, tickling her stomach, causing the girl to squeal and giggle.

"They h-h-h-have a play set h-here! We can p-p-p-p-play as Princesses and r-rule a K-K-Kingdom!" Toby said, "Oh my gosh!"

"Yay!" Sally giggled.

"Can we b-both b-be pretty P-P-P-Princesses?" Toby asked Sally in a hushed whisper, leaning in closely.

"Duh!" Sally said, "We're going to rule over our Kingdom of the playset!"

"Yeah!"

Sally completely forgot about the swings and immediately ran to the playset with Toby, Sans giggling as he watched them. They were both bundles of just pure happy energy and it was adorable.

Pictures were definitely going to be taken.

"Sans, do you wanna be our Knight?" Sally yelled to him from the top of the slide.

"Oh, no, I wanna watch this, trust me," Sans said.

There were a few other kids there who were on the play set as well, who all quickly joined in with playing with Sally and Toby. Sans definitely made sure to take as many photos as he could, he had a lot of photos of Sally doing things on his phone. Of course, all of them were when she was wearing her bandages and not around anything CreepyPasta like, just in case someone else got ahold of his phone. It was better to be careful then sorry, in case he dropped it somewhere and people started hunting for Sally too.

That's when the woman approached him.

She looked like a normal human, with thick brown hair and sunglasses pulled over her face. She was dressed in nice clothes too, so Sans had placed his guard up around her immediately. At first, he had thought she was just some business Mom watching her kid, but when she pulled out her badge to flash him it, holding a notebook, he realized that she was something far worse.

"Hello, I work with the Police Department and I'd like to ask you a few questions," She said.

"Uh, okay, what's this about?" Sans asked her, "I didn't do anything wrong, and I have a kid here, so I'm not like creepily stalking them like some sort of creep, if that'd what you mean."

"No, you have nothing to worry about yourself, you've done nothing wrong," She said, "I just have been assigned to this town due to the large increase of killings, and I wanted to ask you about those."

"I mean, I guess it's been happening, but I don't really have any information about it," Sans said, "I just keep my doors and windows locked, and that's been working, if you're asking for help on how to prevent it."

"No, nothing about that," She said, "But that is good that you do that. There's been too many killings around here lately, and if you think anyone is suspicious, you should tell me immediately."

She gestured towards Toby, where he and Sally were happily giggling away with one another in the playset.

"You think he might be behind the killings?" Sans asked, offended.

Yeah, sure, Toby might've killed a few dozen people, but that was absurd!

"He is wearing a mask at a children's park, while also playing with them," She said, "Who is he to you and your daughter?"

Daughter?

Well, Sans couldn't really argue with that. He did really like Sally, he often thought of her as his own kid, so he didn't really mind that she thought that.

"Husband," Sans said confidently, "He's my husband, and her Father."

"Husband?" The woman repeated.

"Yeah, we got married a nine ago, June 7th," Sans said, "And skeletons can reproduce with both men and woman, so I carried Sally."

"Oh, I see," She said, "However, you don't have any rings on."

Sh*t.

"Oh, yeah, I got really small fingers since I'm a skeleton," Sans said, "Toby tried to put the ring on my finger, but it kept slipping off, so we decided that we'd rather just make the rings molded into the wood of this really cute picture frame of our wedding day instead. Man, I wish I had a picture of it, it's actually adorable."

Good catch, Sans wanted to pat himself on the back.

"I apologize, it's just that there's been so many incidents with children and teenagers being killed that I have to take everyone I see as a suspect," She said, "But how come he's wearing a mask."

"He... well, he doesn't really like to talk about it to other people, so I don't." Sans played the part as hesitant, as if wanting to keep his husbands dignity. "Uh, you're sorta the police though, I guess I can't really keep it from you, huh? Toby once was playing with hot grease when he was a kid and tipped over the stove, and he was leaning real close so it got on his chin. And cheeks. He doesn't like the reminder, and it hurts when exposed to air, so he uses that mask to cover it up. We get the smaller, half face ones to not freak people out and make them think he's like a serial killer or something, but he's a real sweetheart and he wouldn't hurt a fly."

"And since you two are married, you share a house?" She waited for his nod to continue. "So you were in bed with him the nights the murders occurred?"

"Yeah, he makes sure everything is locked before we go to bed, Sally sleeps in our room too, just in case," Sans said, "I understand that you're looking for the crazy murderer that's around here, and I really hope you do catch whoever it is, since I want Sally to be able to sleep without nightmares, but I've lived with Toby for years and he's an absolute sweetheart, he couldn't hurt anyone."

"That's good to hear, and he does look like a good man," She said, "But the mask did worry me, I apologize. Does he wear it often?"

"Whenever he's outside, when he's home he'll take it off." Sans looked over at his 'husband'.
"It had burned off a lot of his skin, so he's really sensitive to wind, he has to take infection medications constantly, we run the mask through the wash everyday."

"I understand, I'm sorry to make you feel uncomfortable, but it is my job, and I do have a murderer to catch," She said.

"No, it's fine, I really hope you do find whoever it is," Sans said.

The woman clicked her pen, glancing back at the children. "Have you seen any suspicious people near this park? Anyone that would raise alarm? Anyone doing anything you found worrying?"

Sans almost declined her, but when such a perfect idea such as this one came to his mind, he just couldn't pass the opportunity.

"Well, there is... a couple people..." Sans said, "They haven't hung out near the park... but, they do concern me. They've been stalking me, and trying to drug me. I-I don't think they are the killers, but... I-I'm concerned about the safety of my daughter near them, a-and..."

Sans sniffed, feeling tears stream down his face as he continued, crossing his arms against his chest. "I-I don't think they're the killers, but they've b-been scaring me lately, and acting unstable... no, it's just a dumb thought..."

"What are their names?" She asked.

"U-uh, well, I don't think they're the actual killers, but the news has s-said there might be multiple serial killers at play, and one of m-my coworkers went missing after they came to my work..."

"Sir." Her hand was placed on his shoulder in a comforting way. "If they're a threat to your safety, you should tell me their names, they could be stopped."

"I-I... okay, yeah," He said, "But d-don't tell them where you saw me, the last time they came to where I was, at a carnival, a-a kid went missing and I feel like i-it's my fault..."

"It wasn't your fault," She said, "If they're appearing in places where multiple people went missing, then that's enough evidence for me to interrogate them. Who are they?"

"Well," Sans said, sniffing, "Papyrus Font, he's my brother, a-and ever since we went to the surface, h-he's been... I d-don't want to think about it. Undyne, too, I-I don't know her last name, she never gave it to me. And Alphys, s-she's married to Undyne... They're the three I'm worried about, t-they've chased me down before and drugged me..."

The girl nodded the whole time, writing down their names. "I'll bring justice, I promise."

Wow, that was easier than expected.

"T-Thanks," Sans said, shaking his head, "I'm sorry, I d-didn't mean to get all emotional... I thought I knew them, but then we got to the surface and they started acting s-so differently, going out at night, not answering for days... I don't like the idea of them being killers, b-but... I want Sally to be safe, that's why I haven't told them where I live."

"That's alright," The woman said, "You did the right thing by telling me. You and your husband should head home early with you daughter before it gets too late now, and I'll make sure not to mention you to your brother."

"Thank you," Sans said, "For protecting Sally."

"I have a daughter of my own, I understand where you're coming from." She ran a hand through her brown hair. "I'll make sure no other kids are kidnapped again."

"I'm glad," Sans said, smiling up at her softly, "But I'll get going now, thank you for trying to find the people that are doing this."

"It's no problem," She said, "Have a good day."

"You too."

Right as she walked away, his phone buzzed, Sans glancing down at the screen.

CleverBot - Holy sh*t dude, OP answers! I thought I would've had to jump out into her phone!

User - i know, i'm just pro. u should totally get l.j to get some blood and smear it on their carpets just to get them arrested

CleverBot - I knew there was a reason why you're freaking awesome.

《》《》《》

Whew, what a long chapter. 3k words, I usually aim for 1.5k

Whoops :)

Anyway, I've always imagined Toby to have really fluffy hair, so I had to just include that with Sans obsessing with how fluffy his hair is. And I've always thought of Sans as just a really natural liar, since he can fake emotions almost spot on when he wants to, like a fake smile or fake crying. Which he uses to his advantage.

Now all I can imagine is Sans walking into a room like "Hey Toby~" with a really big and dumb wig on and I can't think of anything else.
