Sans didn't know where he was going.

Well, he didn't even know why he was in the forest in the first place. To figure out why he ran into the woods first would be a good start to this mess.

Just hearing that had caught him off guard, Sans just wasn't used to it. Sure, Offender had said the same thing, but he was a guy who liked to sleep around, Sans wasn't special to him.

His clothes weren't exactly a 'sexy' type, they just made him look nicer. So Jack just thought he looked nice and accidently said that.

Maybe he should wear new clothes like this more often.

A blush spread across the skeleton's face, Sans groaning into his hands from utter embarrassment. Of course he just ran away, it's what he seemed to do with all of his problems. Instead of confronting others before, he just let them ignore him. Instead of telling Papyrus everything, he hid behind a fake smile, ran away from his problems.

"You ran for quite sometime," Smile Dog said, appearing in his view, "We're a good distance away from the mansion."

Sans sighed, sitting down onto a nearby log. "Guess so, huh?"

"Would you like to talk about it?" Smile dog asked, "I heard it's helpful for people to talk about their problems."

"I dunno." His hands gripped the log. "I just don't... oh man, this is weird."

"I heard that little exchange that happened in the kitchen." Smile dog sat himself down next to the skeleton. "I figured you weren't expecting that."

"Of course I didn't!" Sans said, "I mean, I didn't think Jack wanted to do that with me."

Smile dog laughed. "Oh man, you're in for a surprise."

"I just got one," Sans said, "But I guess today will just be full of surprises."

"I'm not sure if I should spill the beans or not," Smile Dog said, "There's more to this than you think."

"Plenty of beans have already been spilled, they're just everywhere and I'm freaking drowning in them!" Sans said, throwing up his arms, "But why not open another can and spill them too?"

"If that's what you really want. But you know now that Jack has a crush on you, right?"

"I figured that out, yeah."

"Did you figure out who else has a crush on you?"

Sans almost choked on his breath, looking at the dog with wide eye sockets. "You mean...?"

"Yeah, there's more." Smile Dog grinned. "Only a couple more people have a crush on you."

"I... wow..." Sans said, "Okay... so Jack and a couple more people have a crush on me?"

"All of them."

"What?"

"All of them." Smile Dog pawed at the ground. "Basically everyone there has a crush on you. Not Ben or Jeff, of course, nor Sally. But everyone else."

"E-Everyone?"

Sans was nervous, beads of sweat decorating his skull. It made sense, he wasn't used to being loved, this was clearly a shock to him.

"Jane, Laughing, Bloody, everyone in there," Smile said, "All of them."

"O-Oh."

"What are you doing?"

Instead of acting like a responsible adult, Sans instead decided to retreat into his outfit, pulling the shirt over his head and wrapping it over his knees.

"No, Sans is in shirt town now," Sans said, "He isn't here."

"You're acting irrationally about this." Smile Dog used his mouth to pull at the shirt, unable to get Sans out. "Shouldn't you be happy?"

"I don't know, I really don't," Sans said, his voice muffled by the shirt, "How am I supposed to even... ugh! I don't know anything anymore."

"Listen, Sans, try to take a step back," Smile said, "So, how do you feel about Jack having a crush on you?"

"I guess... good?" Sans asked, his eye sockets peeking out from under the shirt, "Maybe? But then there's everyone else, and now-"

"Just focus on what happened first," Smile said, "Jack insinuated that he has a crush on you. How does that make you feel?"

"What are you, a therapist?"

"I prefer a 'reality filter' instead."

"Okay, well, I guess it's nice to know he likes me. Jack's really nice, and he's uh... kinda attractive too. I guess they all are in their own ways."

"So why did you run if you like Jack liking you?"

"I don't know, I just tend to do that." Sans was honest for the first time to himself in awhile. "I run away from my problems instead of facing them."

"No, you don't."

"What do you mean?"

"You faced a lot of problems with us. The mental hospital. You finally stood up against your brother and old friends. Or how about the problem of being hunted by the police? You solved it for everyone."

"Oh, yeah," Sans said, "I guess."

"You run from problems dealing with others liking and disliking you, relationship problems," Smile said, "I think that's what you mean."

Sans leaned forward against his knees. "Guess so."

"Do you want a relationship? Is that why you ran, because you're afraid of one?"

"No, I've always wanted a relationship. It's not because of that. Look, I don't know why I ran, it just sorta happened, and I'm out here now."

"I'm just trying to figure out why so you don't run out everytime someone says they like you, which will probably happen a lot."

The air was cold, a sense of emptiness forboding on the two. The forest was always this way, creepy and silent, but this time, it was welcome. It felt nice.

Maybe because in this forest, Sans knew he was safe. He knew that he had people that cared about him.

"Well, thanks." Sans stood up, flashing a smile at Smile. "Thank you for the talk, it actually really helped. But I'm going to head back, I think I need to finally do something about this."

Smile laughed. "If you ever need another talk, I'm here. The talking dog is always open to talk."

~~~~~~

"YOU!"

Sans slammed open the front door to the house, a blush once again present on his face as he narrowed his gaze at Jack.

"Me?" Jack squeaked.

"Yeah, you!" Sans said, storming up to him and grabbing the front of his shirt.

"Oh please, whatever god is out there, have Sans kick his a**!" Jeff begged, crossing his fingers.

"Amen," Ben added.

"W-Wanna go out?" Sans asked, blushing even more, "On a d-date?"

Okay, so originally I was waiting for my editor to look over this chapter, but they're busy so I'm going to upload it now and fix it later so you guys can get some reading done. Sorry for the late update, I've been busy playing minecraft and school starts so I've been busy preparing to jump in front of a car.

Anyway, I just found out that I was doing punctuation wrong for dialogue, because you're supposed to use a period before and after an action instead of a comma, you only use commas half the time. So yeah, all of my books are written wrong, and I'm upset my english teacher taught me wrong. But at least I fixed it now, and I'm learning about it!
