Chapter Fifteen: Familial Complications

Tw: Minor child abuse

This takes place roughly three days after the previous chapter.

Sans sits on his bed, reading through a book on celestial bodies he had found in the dump a week prior. The book was of human origin, having fallen down from the surface. Sans admittedly had always had a fascination with space, and the stars above, despite never seeing them for himself. He had been glued to the book for the past half hour, and just continued to read.

Eventually, Sans gets bored. He bookmarks the page and closes the book, stretching his arms upwards momentarily, he proceeds to place the book on his nightstand, directly next to a picture of Chara.

Sans picks up the small picture frame, laying down with his head propped up on his pillow, admiring his beloved Chara. When the picture had been taken (only three weeks ago), Chara had just returned from their first proper date with him, still wearing their beautiful black dress.

Sans can’t help but smile and blush, “they looked so beautiful in that. Still can’t believe they’re officially mine” he almost-pridefully thought to himself.

Sans places the picture back down, his mind now preoccupied with thoughts of Chara. His thoughts were short lived however, because he was suddenly interrupted by a yell from downstairs.

“Sans! Get your ass down here, now!” His father barked.

Sans sits up, letting out a loud sigh and an angry growl. “Can’t I have a moment of fucking peace for once?!” He says to himself. Sans teleports downstairs in front of the couch, there he sees his father looking incredibly irritated, his right hand scrunched against his skull.

“Oh, THERE you are.” Gaster bites, roughly grabbing Sans by the shoulder. “Your brainless brother ran off a bit ago and he’s nowhere to be seen.”

“Papyrus?!” Sans responds in disbelief “how?” He asks.

“I was in the lab in the basement for a measly two hours. Two fucking hours, unsupervised and he ran off.” Gaster answered.

“He’s FIVE!” Sans retorted, angrier than ever.

“I sincerely would’ve thought that a five year old, especially one of mine, would be mature enough to sit still for two whole hours.” Gaster responded, dismissive of Sans' claim. “I don’t know why you’re trying to pin this on me.”

“Because it’s your fault! It’s your fault with your shit parenting that this ever happened in the first place! He’s a toddler! He’s YOUR responsibility!” Sans angrily yells, pushing his father off of him. “And I don’t know how delusional you’d have to be in order to-“

“SILENCE!” Gaster yells, cutting Sans off. He grabs his son with blue magic and slams him into the ground, holding him there. “Don’t you DARE fucking talk back to me, especially blatantly insulting me!”

Sans grunts in pain, desperately trying to pull himself up, to no avail. He resorts to teleporting out of the blue Magic’s effects. Now standing a couple meters away from where he previously stood.

“Resourceful yet.” Gaster states dismissively, shrugging. “Now, he’s somewhere out in Snowdin, go and find him.” He says, turning away and waving his hand toward the door.

“Wha-? You’re not going to look yourself? Or even help?” Sans asks, somehow shocked yet completely unsurprised at the same time.

“No, I’ve got an important experiment to run.” Gaster replies walking away.

“More important than your own fucking son?!”

“Do I need to repeat myself about the back talk?” Gaster asks, turning to completely face Sans, pointing his finger to the door, as his eyes turn completely black, “GO. FIND. HIM.”

Without a word, Sans teleports outside the house, pulling his hood up. Sans walks and walks, seemingly endlessly—constantly mumbling to himself about his hatred for his father and pondering the whereabouts of his brother—not finding a trace, even after what felt like an hour.

Eventually, he hears a familiar voice, not the one he was looking for, but a helpful one nonetheless.

“Hey, Sans!” They voice called out.

Sans turned to face Jackie clinging onto a tree. “Hey, Jackie. Mind lending a hand?”

“Looking for your brother?” Jackie asked, jumping down from the tree and walking up to Sans.

“Yeah, actually. Have you seen him?” Sans asks. Jackie may not be his brother, but having a member of the best trackers in the underground on his side was more than he could ask for.

“I have in fact, last I saw him, Dr. Gaster had just teleported him back home. That was about fifty minutes ago.” Jackie responds.

“Wait. Dad… brought him home? FIFTY minutes ago?!” Sans asks in disbelief. He checks the time, he’s been searching for around fifty minutes as well. “I…” Sans starts, anger slowly building up inside him.

“I’m guessing that bastard didn’t tell you that?”Jackie asks, placing a comforting hand on Sans' shoulder.

“No, in fact: he specifically told me he WASN’T going to look for him.” Sans replies, his eyes momentarily turning completely black. Sans pauses, taking a deep breath.

Jackie almost laughs, “and I thought MY dad was bad, holy shit.” He says, trailing his hand through his hair.

“You don’t know the half of it.” Sans replies, shaking his head and covering his eyes with his arm. “How did you know I was searching for my brother anyway?” He asks.

“Oh, I heard you mumbling to yourself about it.” Jackie replies, “I’ve just been chilling in and out of the woods here for the past hour or two, I had just returned when I heard you mumbling in the distance, curious, I investigated.”

“Fair enough.” Sans replied. “At any rate, I should probably head home now, I’ve certainly got some words for my father.”

“Yeah, good idea. I should probably return to my home as well. Funny, because I specifically came out here to get away from them.” Jackie chuckles to himself. “Oh, and- Sans?”

“Uh, yeah?”

“I was at the palace yesterday, and it turns out, Chara has a handmade plush of you that they apparently sleep with and cuddle constantly.” Jackie says smiling and chuckling to himself. “Don’t tell them I said that, though.” He adds, winking.

Sans blushes “W- wait, r-really?”

“Yup. Not only did I see it with my own two eyes, but his highness told me all about it. All I’m saying, is that they must REALLY love you.”

“They do, trust me. And I love them back all the same.” Sans says.

“Alright, imma head home, see ya!” Jackie says, before dashing into the distance.

Sans teleports back home, directly into the kitchen, there he sees Gaster and Papyrus at the table preparing dinner.

Papyrus, upon seeing Sans, runs up to him, and wraps his arms around his waist in a hug. “Brother's home!” He exclaims.

Sans returns the hug, before resting his hand on top of Papyrus’s skull. “That I am.” Sans replies.

Papyrus, let’s go and heads back to the table, Sans makes eye contact with Gaster, giving him a death glare.

“What?” Gaster asks, pretending to be innocent.

“You said that you weren’t going to search for him because you had an experiment to run, and that I had to go hunt him down myself. Only for you to go to him pretty much immediately after I left and bring him home without telling me. WHY?” Sans asks angrily.

Gaster laughs. “Oh, Sans. I didn’t lie, my experiment was testing the new underground smart surveillance system and its effectiveness for finding targets. It just so happens that Papyrus happened to run off on the perfect day to test it. You acted as the control group, to see how long it would take to find someone without the use of the system, and your pathetic ass couldn’t even find a single clue! To me, that’s a successful test, proving its capability, and prompting for wide implementation.” He says, condescendingly.

Sans stays silent, pulling up a chair and sitting down.

——————

Two hours later, after eating dinner, Sans sits in his room on his phone, eventually deciding to text Chara. {

Sans: “hey sweetheart”

Chara: “Hi, Sans! :D”

Chara: “How are you?”

Sans: “not so great”

Chara: “Oh… :( What happened?”

Sans: “earlier father called me down saying that papyrus had gone missing”

Sans: “turns out father had left him unsupervised for two hours and he got out.”

Chara: “Oh, no! Is Papyrus okay!?”

Sans: “yeah, he’s fine”

Sans: “after an argument about his bad parenting leading to him throwing me to the ground, he said that i had to go and find him and that he had to stay back to ‘work on an important experiment’”

Chara: “That’s awful! D: Did he hurt you?!”

Sans: “no lasting damage, just temporary pain”

Sans: “when i went searchin i didn’t find anything”

Sans: “but i did eventually run into jackie who told me that he saw dad teleport papyrus home a while ago”

Chara: “Wait, what?! So he just sent you out there for no reason?!”

Sans: “when i got back I saw him and papyrus preparing dinner”

Sans: “turns out his ‘experiment’ was testing out the new smart surveillance system to see how fast it can find someone”

Sans: “papyrus had just happened to wander off earlier and father took the advantage”

Chara: “That’s cruel! Why did he still make you go out then?”

Sans: “he says that it was to compare physically searching for someone, to doing so with the security system”

Sans: “however i'm convinced that his sadistic self also did it just to watch me suffer”

Chara: “What a jerk! :(”

Sans: “i hate him so fucking much”

Sans: “he doesn’t love me or papyrus, he only gives a fuck about himself. everyone below him is just a toy in his eyes”

Sans: “he’s such a piece of shit and i can’t stand living with him. he’s hurt me more than anyone could ever know”

Chara: “I know, Sans. I understand. It’s okay.”

Sans: “i’m sorry for swearing so much and the sudden rant”

Chara: “It's okay, Sans! I’m glad you got it off your chest!”

Sans: “thank you”

Chara: “No problem! <3 Love you!”

Sans: “love you too”

Chara: “Hey, I’m alone in my room right now, if you need a kiss, feel free to stop by! Just be quiet.”

}

Upon seeing that last message Sans wastes no time, and teleports himself into Chara's room. The room is dark with their face being only illuminated by the light from their phone.

Chara looks up to meet Sans' eyes, their expression quickly turns to a cordial smile, as they wave their hand toward themselves, motioning him to come closer.

Sans obeys, walking over next to them, taking note of the plush next to them (he’ll make sure to lightheartedly tease them for that later). Once within range, Sans leans in for the kiss.

Chara plants a kiss directly on his teeth, following up with a hug, “I love you, Sans” they whisper ever so quietly.

Sans leans back a bit, placing a nip on their cheek in response, “I love you too, Sweetheart.”

Chapter Nineteen: Bracelet

Chara kneels alone in the Castle's garden with a small basket of weaving materials, making two beautiful floral bracelets out of the various magic flowers that litter the garden. For hours they sit there, hand crafting the bracelets, making sure they’re perfect. In a couple hours from now, Sans will arrive, as they had planned, and the bracelets had to be ready.

——————

Sans sits up in his bed, looking at the clock, panic fills his eyes. “Shit! I overslept!” He says to himself, quickly getting out of bed. “We agreed to meet at the castle garden at 10:00, which was TWENTY minutes ago!”

He picks up his phone, 3 unread messages {

Chara: “Sans? Where are you?” (20 minutes ago)

Chara: “Did you oversleep?” (18 minutes ago)

Chara: “Sans?! I’m starting to get worried, we agreed to meet at this time, didn’t we?” (5 minutes ago)

}

“Oh, no. Oh, no. No. No.” He says, dropping the phone on the table and covering his eyes with his hands, “I'm an awful person. I let them down…” He stays silent for a moment, almost hesitant to reply.

Eventually, he picks the phone back up {

Sans: “Chara im so sorry i overslept”

Sans: “i didnt mean to i swear im so fucking sorry”

Chara: “Hey!”

Chara: “Oh, it’s okay, don’t worry about it. It’s only 20 minutes. Besides, I’m glad you got some extra sleep.”

Sans: “i know i let you down im a shit boyfriend”

Chara: “You are not! Don’t say that!”

Chara: “You made an honest mistake, and this is the first time it’s ever happened. I forgive you. It’s okay.”

Sans: “thank you”

Chara: “You’re welcome! Now, when do you think you’ll arrive?”

Sans: “gimme 5 minutes I wanna look somewhat presentable”

Chara: “Okie-dokie :D”

}

Sans puts the phone down, taking a sigh of relief. “I don’t deserve them.” He says to himself, chuckling. He quickly changes clothes, tosses on a jacket and puts on shoes before teleporting to the castle garden.

——————

Sans arrives in the garden, and walks around until seeing Chara; they lock eyes.

“Sans!” Chara exclaims running up to and embracing him, “you made it!”

Sans returns the hug, placing one of his hands on the back of Chara's head. “That I did.” He says, loosening the hug, “Once again, I’m sorry for sleeping in, I-“ he stops himself.

Chara places their hand on the side of Sans' skull. “I told you, it’s okay, I’m not mad. And most importantly, you’re not a bad boyfriend.” They say softly and consolingly, kissing him on the cheek. “You know I’ll always love you, right?”

Sans, meets Chara's eyes, “I know that! I… I guess I was just being paranoid.” He responds, looking down, “And I will always love you, too, Chara. I promise.” Sans places his hand back on their head, pulling them in and planting a nip on their cheek. “I promise.” He repeats, as they both pull away from each other.

“Good!” Chara exclaims. “Come on, this way!” They say, as they grab his hand and begin to lead him to a clearing in the garden.

“Alright, after you.” Sans replies.

Once they reach the clearing, Chara sits down, motioning Sans to do the same. Chara reaches into the basket sitting between them. “I have a surprise for you!” They say.

Sans perks up, “really?” He asks, looking around, trying to peak into the basket.

“No peeking!” Chara quickly demands, holding the basket away.

Sans instantly backs up, “sorry.”

Chara giggles, “now, close your eyes and hold out your hand.” They say.

Sans does what he is told, holding his left hand out in front of him, and closing his eyes. “As you wish, sweetheart.”

Chara pulls out one of the floral bracelets, putting it on their wrist, then grabbing the other and placing it on Sans' wrist. “You can open your eyes now.” They say.

Sans opens his eyes, looking down at the matching bracelets. He lifts his arm, inspecting every last detail of the bracelet. “Wow… Chara, this looks incredible!”

Chara blushes, giggling. “Do you like it?” They ask.

“I love it, Chara. It’s beautiful.” He responds, smiling. “You’ve made floral stuff for me before, but this is on another level of intricacy and beauty.”

Chara’s face is now completely red, “thank you!” They respond. “I made one for myself as well!”

“I can see that, they both look amazing.” Sans replies.

Chara sits straight up, holding out their wrist and pointing at the flowers dawning the bracelet. “And the best part is, these are magical flowers, meaning that these bracelets will last pretty much forever as long as we take care of them.” They say, smiling. “Think of these like ends of an invisible string that tie us together, they represent a physical manifestation of our love for each other.”

Sans holds out his hand, resting it on Chara's arms so that the bracelets touch. “Do you think that invisible string is the same string of fate as the one which is to each other?” He asks.

Chara meets Sans' eyes. “It very well could be.” They say, pulling him into a hug, and placing their head on his shoulder. “And when that tie is severed, you’ll always have something to remember me by… so… in a couple years whenever you’re lonely, just look down at your wrist, and remember that I’m right there with you.”

“Yeah…” Sans replies, pulling away from the hug and making eye contact, “but, let’s not think about that too much, shall we?”

Chara perks up, “You’re right, let’s talk about something else.” They say. “Is there anything you want to talk about?”

“Hmm…” Sans says to himself, before reaching into his pocket. “While we’re on the topic of gifts, here’s your gift from me.” He adds, as he pulls out two bars of chocolate, neatly wrapped together with a flower decorating them.

Chara gasps, as Sans hands it to them, “thank you!” They exclaim, inspecting the intricate wrapping and the beautiful rose on the font. “Did you wrap this yourself?” They ask.

“I wish I was that talented.” He replies chuckling nervously. “No, the shopkeeper who I usually buy chocolate from gave that to me, because she knows we’re dating.”

Chara smiles, “well, I appreciate it nonetheless!” They respond.

As Chara begins to pull out the first bar, Sans interrupts. “Chara? I have a question, if you don’t mind.”

“Ask away!”

Sans scratches the back of his skull, almost nervously. “I’m just curious, but I’ve noticed that you’re always so happy whenever I give you chocolate as a gift… despite the fact that you basically have an endless supply of chocolate thanks to his highness. So, I’m just wondering what’s so special about it when I give it to you?” He asks, looking down.

“Because it’s from you, Sans!” They reply, grabbing ahold of his hand. “The fact that it’s a gift from you—my beloved boyfriend—makes it special. Even if it was something completely inconsequential, I’d be happy, because it’s the thought that counts.” They say, holding his hand to their heart.

Sans smiles, chuckling to himself.

Chara cocks their head to the side with a confused expression, “what’s so funny?” They ask.

“Nothing, that’s… just a very you answer.” He responds, smiling adoringly, “always so cheerful and positive. Always seeing the best in everything and everyone.” He says as he cups their cheek with his hand.

Chara giggles, placing their hand on his arm. “It’s funny, because… every time I give you something, you’re always just as grateful, no matter how small.” They say, before leaning in and kissing his forehead.

“I guess you’re right,” Sans responds, “because they’re from you, they matter so much more than any other gift ever could.”

Chara smiles, leaning in and embracing him once more, “I guess we’re not all that different, huh?” They say jokingly.

“I wouldn’t go that far.” Sans responds, laughing.

Chara stands up, wiping the dirt off their trousers, “come on, let’s walk around,” they say, holding out their hand.

“Sounds good to me,” Sans responds, grabbing Chara's hand, and letting them pull him up.

——————

Chara and Sans sit on a bench on the edges of the castle grounds overlooking the lake in Waterfall a great distance away.

Chara holds out their hand, feeling the chill air. “No matter how many times I see Waterfall, it will never stop being beautiful.” They say, looking over the edge, “sometimes I wish I could stay here all day watching it.” Chara leans into Sans, wrapping their arms around him, cuddling.

“Yeah, it really is beautiful.” He says, leaning back, and placing his arm over their shoulder.

Chara looks up to him, “I love you,” they say softly.

“I love you too, sweetheart.” He replies, nipping their cheek, “and I always will.”

They stay silent for a minute, the only sounds being that of waterfall in the distance, and the soft sounds of Chara breathing.

“Sans?” Chara asks.

“Yeah?”

“I'm scared…” they respond, quietly.

Sans lets out a slow breath. “I know… I’m scared too, Sweetheart…” he whispers back, “I’m scared too…”

“Just, remember me okay?” They ask, tears streaming down their face.

Sans lowers his head, trying not to cry. “I promise.”

Chara hears something running behind them, suddenly their right shoulder is pierced by a throwing knife, as they scream out in agony.

Chara -5hp (15/25)

“Oh, shit!” Sans yells, his left eye glowing, as he grabs Chara. He quickly stops a second knife (flying from above) midair with gravity magic , and teleports himself and Chara back inside the Castle and into Chara's room.

“Ow! Ow! It hurts so much!” They yell in pain, as they try and remove the knife.

Sans tries to grab the knife as well, before he’s interrupted by the door flying open.

Toriel runs in, face filled with concern. “What happened!?” She yells, as she quickly takes ahold of Chara.

Sans looks up to her, “I don’t know! We were just sitting when suddenly someone threw a knife into them from behind us!” He responds panicked.

“Oh, no…” Toriel responds, quickly stabilizing Chara with healing magic. “Chara, you’re going to be okay, just hold still, okay?”

“Okay,” Chara squeaks out over the pain.

After twenty minutes, Toriel is able to clean up and mostly heal the wound. Holding the now unconscious Chara. “Okay, that should be good. Now all they need is some rest.” She says.

“Is there anything else I can do to help?” Sans asks, placing a hand on Chara's forehead.

Toriel places Chara in bed, and pulls the covers over them. “No, you’ve done all you can,” she says, “Thank you, so much.”

“You’re welcome,” Sans replies, as he teleports himself back home.

Author's notes:

Sorry for the long wait, y’all. But these should come out more regularly now.
