The Call Of A Mute Heart

Chapter 27

That dress really did show off your legs. BP should be a fashion coordinator, even if you had felt rather uncomfortable wearing it. You currently sat in your living room watching a rerun of Questions With A Killer Robot the 1 Year Anniversary Episode. This was the first time that you have had a chance to actually see all the ridiculousness unfold. No wonder the audience was going nuts. All the silliness was TV gold. You popped a couple of pieces of popcorn in your mouth then threw a couple at Sans, who was asleep in the spot next to you. They bounced harmlessly off of his skull and onto the floor. Bound to be lost in the depths that was under your couch. As the show's music faded out for a commercial, you could hear the experimental music playing from you music room from Mettaton checking out your collection and if you listened even harder you could hear Papyrus's enthusiastic grunts as he trained in your backyard.

It was a few days after your initial release from the hospital. Both Sans and Alphys had given you okay for you to hang at your house by yourself if you wished. Even though you hadn't really had a chance to yet. The three monsters appeared to have taken a few days off from work so that they could keep an eye on you. Mettaton scheduled most of his important things in the mornings or late evenings. Papyrus was giving the people he personally trained a few days off. Sans well... was Sans. You knew he had a hot dog stand but after all the stuff that had happened to you recently... It was obvious that the skeleton had more going on than what he showed. However, if he didn't want to talk about it then you weren't going to pry. That didn't stop you from throwing popcorn at his skull though. You lightly tossed another and it flew true. It lightly struck the top of Sans's skull right between the eye sockets. Then it did something that you hadn't been exactly thinking would happen.. It did a perfect arch right into the hole for Sans's nose.

Shit.

You hadn't thought that could happen... Could he breath alright? Did it just fall into his shirt? You angled your head around to see if there was a new lump under his clothes but there was no way you could tell.... Whenever he had on clothes, the magic kind of formed a belly that he normally wouldn't have. It could have easily fallen through his rib cage to the couch. But you weren't about to lift up his shirt to look. What do you do?! He appeared to be breathing just fine and it somehow hadn't woken him up. You were internally debating on if you should wake him up or not when you heard a knock on your front door.

Who could that be? Still unsure if you should leave the skeleton asleep with a piece of popcorn in his nose hole, you stand up and set the bowl on the coffee table. If he was having trouble then he should have done something other than sleep right? He appeared to be perfectly fine. Another more urgent knock had you leaving it at that to go answer the front door before Mettaton did. You weren't exactly up to explaining to whoever was there how an international monster idol was at your house.

As you held the door open, you froze. There, on your front step, was your adoptive mom and dad. A broad smile graces your face. With everything that has happened you hadn't seen them or texted them in forever! You understood that the both of them were rather busy...(at least you assumed so due to the lack of communication) and had left them alone. Still. You were glad to see them. "Hi, guys! It's been so long! How have you both been?" Your hands were flying with the sign language that they both read with ease from years of practice.

However, as happy as you were to see them... they didn't appear to be to happy with you. "We need you to take a look at this, (y/n)." Your father simply stated as he handed you an envelope. Giving them a confused look, you pulled out the paper that it held and glanced it over. Your knees shook as you almost fainted. It was a medical bill. A LARGE medical bill. At the bottom held the 6 figure amount with everything above listing every charge that added to it. You had been charged for the entire 2 month stay, along with all the equipment, doctor's time, etc.... There was even a charge for the "miscellaneous equipment" that Alphys, Sans, and Mettaton had brought in to do the experimental SOUL procedure. That charge was complete BS! It had nothing to do with the hospital directly!
