Once again, life flooded through you and you sucked in a breath. Finally... You were so tired of being trapped. Now, you were normal. For the first time in what felt like an eternity, you felt like things were normal. Ever since the near-drowning incident. Alphys was beaming when she saw that her work was a success for once! Your hand moved when your brain told it to. Your feelings that were once all mixed up seemed to be clearer now. Suddenly, a memory flashed through your brain. Sans!

"Alphys, what happened to Sans?" you asked still trying to get used to using your own mouth to talk. It was so different.

"W-Well, he's-"

"Right over here?"

You glanced towards the direction of his voice. You felt your heart begin to flutter uncontrollably. You knew your hormones were back to normal because you could feel yourself blushing and your pounding heart screaming 'Hug him! He's yours!' Meanwhile, the logical side of you brain was rolling its eyes and thinking, 'Really...?' Shoving the two sides out of the way, you ran up to him and hugged him burying your face into his shoulder. (Yeah, you're short). At first, he tensed up with surprise and then hugged you back tightly. Alphys watching with a look of amazement and then started fangirling and shipping.

"Oh my gosh?! That's. So. ADORABLE!! You and Sans are totally a perfect match! I thought that Mettaton was bluffing when he said he was trying to set you two up, but now I can see he was totally right! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! It's just like those cute little anime romances! We have to do something!" Alphys screamed as she spoke a mile a minute.

When you and Sans finally let go, you looked towards Alphys. Because she was speaking so fast, you had very little idea of what she was saying. "Um... What?"

Alphys stopped and looked at you seriously. "You are dating him, right?"

"Yeah?"

"OH MY GOSH!! I have to tell everyone! The Undernet! The Underground! The universe! It's perfect!" she squealed.

"Could you please just stay quiet about this for the time being? When I tell you, you can go tell everyone, but for now, I think everyone has surface preparations to make," Sans explained.

Alphys sighed and tried to get herself back under control. "All right... Just so you know, this is my new favorite ship of all time. Anyway, I'm sure you'd like to tell everyone about (y/n) being back to normal. I'm going to watch some anime! Anyway, bye!" Alphys said as she ran to another room.

"Well, that's not new. So, are we going to go back to Snowdin?" you asked Sans.

"Yeah, what time is it? We've been here for a while and I know that it's not afternoon anymore," Sans answered as he stared up towards the clock.

9:30pm.

You stared up at the clock in alarm. You'd been there all day?! Sure it was a risky process to separate two souls, but all day?! "Well, that's great! Everybody's going to be asleep!" you stated.

"Except Papyrus."

"Except Papyrus!" you added.

You tapped your foot with annoyance. Then you remembered. You had a foot! All to yourself and nobody said no to you moving your foot! After your burst of annoyance, you started tapping a jazzy tune with your feet against the tile floor. You were tempted to smile with pleasure, however, you were too annoyed to even dare.

"So, what now?"

Since there was no point in being annoyed, you thought. You could go partying in perfect condition all night, you could go back to your house, you could spend the night on Sans and Papyrus' couch, or...

"My house is the closest. I don't feel like code-jumping," you stated.

Sans crossed his arms with a questioning look. "Well, do you have a television?"

"Yes."

"A DVD or VHS player?"

"Yes."

"A microwave and popcorn?"

"Who do you think I am?! Of course, I do!"

"What do you say to a movie night?" Sans asked handing you a few DVDs he had plucked from the shelf. You nodded happily.

As you stepped through the door, the heat smacked into your face. While you were encouraged to hear that you now could feel temperature, you didn't exactly want to break a sweat just by walking to your house that was only a few mere feet away. You began to fan yourself and when you finally reached your house, you turned on the fan system that Alphys installed in your house to keep it from getting too hot. Sans nodded at how convenient it was.

"Look, (y/n)! They're blowing you a fanfare!" he said getting out his trombone and playing a short seven note piece on it to represent his fanfare to you. You wondered where he got the trombone. Then you remembered that stuff like that was normal for him. You couldn't suppress a laugh but you made sure to roll your eyes as you did.

"Tomorrow, we'll see how many egg puns you can make!" you said as you flopped onto your couch.

"Don't worry. I've got... a dozen of 'em!"

About an hour went by as the two of you watched Ghostbusters with you leaning up against him with your head up against his shoulder and his bony fingers occasionally stroking your hair. You got to the part where the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man was destroying everything when you started feeling sleepy. You resisted and forced yourself to watch the movie to the end and even Sans was half-asleep by then. Finally, the credits began rolling and you thought, 'Man, that was a great movie!' while another part of your brain was slurring words of weariness from exhaustion. You pressed the eject button on the remote control but neither of you even bothered to stand up and put it away.

"Tomorrow, we can do something fun. I promise," he told you.

"What? Spending an entire day of my life getting my soul separated from another person isn't fun?" you asked sarcastically with a grin and adding a yawn at the end.

You rest your head on the arm of the couch. He curls up next to you and it was either he who was embracing you or the darkness of the room. The silence began to get to you because usually when it was dark, something either amazing or terrible happened.

"You know, I know it's only been two weeks, but it feels like two months. Even though I've had my rib cage smashed, your soul nearly destroyed, our trust tested, and our souls connected, it was still amazing. But the place I really realized how amazing you were was before all of that. Back at the Snowdin Shop in that blizzard, I knew. Your rosy red cheeks as you explained your feelings perfectly," he said. "I wish it never ended," he whispered in your ear.

"Maybe it doesn't have to," you explained.

As the night carried on, the more you thought. Despite the fact that you were wiped out, there was something missing. You couldn't fall asleep. The hum of the fans around the room that you and Sans were joking about were humming in the background. Even with the romantic scenery, you wanted more. What more could you get?

"Hey (y/n), can I test a hypothesis?" Sans asked. You looked over.

"Uh... Okay. For what?" you answered.

After a slight hesitation, he takes you by surprise with a kiss on the lips. At first, you were surprised and got all tensed up, but then you didn't resist. It lasted about thirty seconds before it ended and you hugged him. You wriggled closer to him on the couch/loveseat.

"Well, I guess you can kiss a star."

"Sans...," you said. You didn't say his name really for any reason other than because you just wanted to say it. You rested your head close to his chest.

Finally, sleep crept its way into your brain and you began to doze off. Sans pressed his forehead against your and held your gaze with this dreamy glow in his eye sockets.

"Remember that question that completely didn't matter?" he asked.

"Yes...," you answered.

...

"Do you wanna hear it?"

"Yes..."

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

"Will you marry me?"

...

...

"Yes."
