Chapter Text
When the monsters first came to the surface, I was one of the first humans on scene that was willing to volunteer to help them. They were facinated by my teal colored hair and strange attire. Being the only punk looking volunteer there, i was used to the funny looks from monsters and humans alike. I quickly made friends with a tall and loud Skeleton named Papyrus. He was very sweet and caring, constantly peaking back into his tent to check on his brother, who refused to leave it. I would always make sure to bring enough supplies for both brothers, wanting them to feel a bit better about their living situation. Then the government decided to have the monsters all live with humans like exchange students to learn how to live among us. I quickly signed up to take the skeleton brothers, knowing not everyone would be able to handle the loud but sweet skeleton. It took a week for my application to go through, as i made sure my home was ready for the brothers. A quiet knock brought my attention to my door, me slowly opening it to find the very same skeletons on my doorstep. "Hello Papyrus, and you must be the imfamous Sans. Welcome home." I said with a smile, Papyrus's eyes widening.
"Its you! The pretty human with the funny colored hair!" He exclaimed, drawing a snicker from the shorter Skelly. I stepped to the side and motioned for them to come.
"I wanted to make sure you two would be safe, so i applied to be your host. I hope you both enjoy your stay here." I murmured, watching the taller Skelly almost vibrate.
"Pretty human...can i hug you? I...know most humans don't want to touch a skeleton." His voice got quieter towards the end,looking a little sad. Sans watched me tensely as i stepped towards his brother, wrapping my arms around the skeleton's waist. He froze for a moment before hugging me back, almost too tight for comfort.
"Papyrus, you don't have to ask to hug me. We're friends aren't we? And don't worry, I'll deal with anyone who is rude to you. Both of you." I said as i glanced back at Sans, his eyes wide with shock. Pappy held me a little longer before slowly letting me go, little transparent orange tears gathered in his sockets. I patted his arm and guided him to sit on the couch.
"Sorry...Human...I, the great Papyrus, normally doesn't get like this." He murmured, looking sheepish. I gave him a sweet smile.
"Its ok Pappy, everyone gets a little emotional." I said, Sans turning his wide gaze on me again. Pappy on the other hand blushed adorably, his eyes sparkling.
"Pappy? You gave me a nickname?" He squealed, making me blush.
"If you don't mind, Papyrus is kinda a mouthful to say." I figited, playing with a loose thread on my shirt. I suddenly found myself hoisted in the air by an ecstatic skelly, being spun around in a circle. I giggled and smiled down at him as he babbled about loving it. When he finally set me down, I was a bit dizzy. Pappy offered to make dinner, not even waiting for my answer before taking over the kitchen.
"Hey kid" Sans murmured as i flopped down to stop the spinning. "Thanks for look for looking out for my bro." Sans' deep voice spilled out of his closed teeth, making a little blush spread across my cheeks.
"Of course, what are friends for." I murmured, my heart thumping hard in my chest.
