Sans opened his sockets. Nothing. Too dark to see. Nothing but cold winds and shallow sounds following this crept place. 

He tried to look around, too scared to actually reach out this time.

This was probably just another nightmare. Yeah, maybe. He'd had this one so many times. He'd wake up in the dark, hearing weird noises and feel cold.

However, his anxiety was getting the best of him. What if this wasn't a dream? What if this was the void he's heard Alphys talk about. What if this was death?


"Sans..."

Sans flinched as he heard a gruff male speak. Boss, he wondered. He tried to look in the direction of the voice, failing to find what he was looking for.

Instead, he quietly called out, "B-Boss...?"

Silence...

He curled in on himself. What the hell was going on!? Where was everything? Usually something happened by now, he pondered.


He snapped from his questioning mind as he looked towards a light that had just popped up. 

That must be the way out, he thought with some relief. 

He slowly got up, making his way over to the light; Yellow and like a star. It shined beautifully in his hands. He wondered what to do with it as he held it up and examined it more.

"I wouldn't touch that if I were you..."

Sans gasped at the sound of the voice, he turned, seeing who was in the light.


He dropped the star, his eye lights going almost completely out.

"... P-... Pa-" He felt as if the air in his non-existent lungs had been knocked from his body. Standing before him, the body of his brother. His scarf gone, along with his head.

He trembled at the sight of his brother. What... What happened to him!? 

"B-Boss! You-"
"My... scarf..." The headless Boss quietly spoke, somehow.
"Wha?" Sans felt confused. His scarf?

"... Why... did... you... take it?"
Sans felt panic as his headless brother approached him, realizing that he was wearing the scarf. Why did he have it though?

Regardless, he quickly took it off, handing it back to the taller.

The headless figure took it, wrapping it over his shoulders. Sans whimpered at the sight, not sure what to do. What to say. He covered his face as he sniffled, tears going down his cheeks, quickly getting up and hugging his bro tightly. He didn't know what else to do, but this felt right. 

"I-I'm sorry Boss! I-I-" He began to apologize, feeling his brother not return the hug.

"Sans... it's... COMPLETELY FINE!" 

Sans gasped at the sudden change of his brothers voice. 


He jumped back, seeing a child with glowing red eyes, black goo oozing from their mouth. 

Sans felt his soul pick up at the sight of this horrifying child. Before he knew it, the child made a blood curdling scream, coming at him with a knife.

"HHHHH-!" He inhaled sharply as he shot up from the floor, followed by strained coughing and breathing.


He wiped excess tears from his face. Such a strange, yet, hazy nightmare, not that he ever really remembered the- Oh shit! Did he wake Boss!? 

He held his breath, listening for any loud stomps... 

None. Good. Boss was still asleep.


He looked over to his clock ~3am.

Two more hours and Papyrus would come and kick his lazy ass out of bed, well, if he still had a bed. Papyrus kind of, somehow, threw it out of the window, and then burned it, saying that it was, "infested."

Sans had no idea what his brother meant by that but he did know that he didn't have a bed anymore. Luckily, Papyrus was nice enough to give him a big blanket to keep warm with.

A nice gesture. Too bad it ended as soon as it started. His brother was a like a firecracker. He could be... nice? And then be set off at anytime, no matter how little the triggering is. 


His nightmares didn't help either. He was probably more scared of them then he was Boss. They were always about something horrible happening to people he loved. He had them almost every night recently and it was really starting to affect him deeply. 

He was afraid.

He didn't want them to come true. They seemed so real when he slept even though they never made since. Papyrus? Getting killed? That was absurd!
He was one of the strongest monsters alive in Underground. There was no way that could happen. 

It just didn't make since!

He looked to his clock again ~3:52am

Suddenly, the door was nearly knocked off its hinges as a tall figure loomed in the doorway. It stomped over with full force, yanking Sans from his position.

'B-But! It's not even 5! So wh-' Sans was cut from his thoughts as a hand grabbed him by the collar of his shirt.
He flinched as his brother threw him up against the wall and started yelling, "I AM SICK AND TIRED OF YOU BEING NOTHING BUT PATHETIC, LAZY, TRASH!!!"

Sans almost let out a sniffle but held it in. "B-Boss! Gah!-"
Papyrus let him fall to the floor with a thud. He cowered away, even if his brother never actually hit him. 

"TODAY, WE START GETTING UP AN HOUR EARLIER THAN USUAL! ALRIGHT!? REMEMBER!? LIKE I SAID YESTERDAY! God! Why don't you ever listen!? Why are you so useless!?"

Sans looked up at Papyrus with fear. "Al-Alright... B-Boss..."
Papyrus went to exit the room. He slammed the door, actually knocking a hinge off this time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After Sans couldn't hear foot steps anymore, he began to cry lightly, 'Why am I so... useless...?'

"SANS! IF YOU'RE NOT DOWN HERE IN THE NEXT 2 MINUTES! I SWEAR TO ASGORE! YOU'LL BE SORRY!!!"

Sans let out a shocked gasped as he jumped to his feet, wiping his tears quickly so he could get ready for the day.

and boy, was it going to be a day...
