Monster or Beast?

Out of Blue Confession

Turning her gaze toward the window, the young woman wondered if Sans would even be home when he woke up. Or would he try to go somewhere before eating and to find a place that would keep him from other people? Honestly, she had no idea what she could do to help Sans. It just seemed that no matter what she could think of, that there was a problem with her plan in one way or another. Then of course, there was the fact that her friend could easily just teleport himself away to some form of safety.

Though at the same time, there had to be a means of keeping him from doing that. So that had to be some kind of idea right? Pulling out her phone, she sent a quick text to Papyrus asking if Sans was still home.

She got a text pretty much right away.

YES HUMAN! BROTHER IS HOME HE'S STILL ASLEEP. HE SHOULD BE AWAKE IN A FEW HOURS THOUGH, HE'S EXHAUSTED FROM CHANGING BACK. WHAT DO YOU PLAN FOR TODAY?

Frisk smiled a little at that one. So that meant that Sans was still home at least, and most likely would be for a while yet. Though she knew that she would have to think of something for Sans to do in the hopes of helping him to relax. Though that would be easier said than done. Then she smiles and gets an idea. I plan to take Sans somewhere, hoping to cheer him up a little. I just hope it'll be enough to cheer him up. she texted back.

I'M SURE HE'LL LOVE IT. I'LL MAKE SURE HE STAYS HOME.

She of course couldn't help but smile. Yeah, this was something that she could do to help her friend, though she had some planning to do to say the least.

***

Once she got to the skeleton brother's home, Frisk knocked on the door and wondered what it was that she should expect today. Would Sans still be kind of out of it? Tired? Exhausted? Or still nervous about both her and Papyrus knowing the truth? Sure he knew that they still cared about him a great deal. That he shouldn't be worried about them seeing him in a different light.

But, Frisk knew that he was still worried.

'That is something I'm hoping to change...' she thought to herself, hoping that her words would become the truth.

Soon, the door opened and there stood Papyrus. He had a big smile on his face as he moved aside. "GREETINGS HUMAN! SANS SHOULD BE IN THE KITCHEN, JUST WOKE UP!" He said with enthusiasm. Frisk couldn't help but smile in return, she just couldn't help it. It was his smile, it was contagious for sure. Though it made her wonder what was going on to have him this happy.

Sans had to be in a better mood.

"How is Sans?" asked Frisk as she walked inside.

Papyrus looked toward the kitchen for a moment before he looked back to the human before him. "He seems to be doing better. Eating and everything human Frisk." The skeleton leaned in as he spoke to the young woman before him. It seemed that he didn't want his brother to over hear him to say the least. Though, the young woman knew that he was just concerned over his brother. Sans had been through an ordeal, and for that knew that it would be a while till he was better...

'If at all...' Frisk thought to herself before nodding her head. At least he was still eating something even with the information out in the open. That had to say something right?

Taking a deep breath, the young woman smiled up at her friend before making her way over to the kitchen. She saw Sans sitting at the table, drinking straight out of a ketchup bottle before letting out a soft sigh. He almost looked as if he was exhausted. Not physically, but mentally. Even though she only had a side profile view of her friend, Frisk could easily see the dark circles under his sockets.
