"NYEH HEH HEH! IT WORKED!!"
You and Sans slowly turn to face the bushes that sit behind the two of you. Hidden within the leaves are Undyne, Papyrus, Frisk, and Alphys.
Alphys looks like she could pass out any second out of excitement, she squeals at a frequency only dogs can hear. Frisk is squished in a hug from Undyne who can't stop fist pumping in the air. Papyrus seems like he's a mix between confused and excited. Confused that his lazy brother was able to get a girlfriend before himself, the very great and admirable Papyrus, but also excited that Sans finally seems happy.
"NGAAAAAAHH!!!" Undyne shouts, leaping forward and scooping you up onto her shoulders, "I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU AND I HOPE YOU GUYS HAVE A WONDERFUL, LONG LASTING RELATIONSHIP!!"
You shake with laughter, your cheeks still extremely flushed. Sans catches your eye and the blush on his face worsens, making you giddy.
I...I'm not lonely anymore! I have an actual BOYFRIEND!
Undyne sets you on the ground and you wish you were still being carried since your legs feel like jelly.
"So, how do ya feel?" The warrior asks. Alphys films the scene like a camerawoman for the news, her camera's flash making you squint.
"I-I feel great!" You exclaim, clasping your hands tightly in front of you. Sans lets out a yelp as you hug him tightly, burying your red face in his shoulder.
"WELL, OF COURSE YOU DO!" Papyrus pipes up, striking a proud pose, "THIS WAS A GREAT PLAN CREATED WITH THE HELP OF THE GREAT PAPYRUS! NYEH HEH!"
"W-Where do you guys want to throw the wedding? I b-bet Asgore would be more than happy to—"
"Alphys!! They just started dating!"
"NYEH! I THINK ALPHYS HAS THE RIGHT IDEA, YOU SHOULD ALWAYS PLAN AHEAD!! THAT BEING SAID, WHAT WILL THE CHILDREN BE CALLED?"
"I can babysit the little punks, kids LOVE me!!"
Eventually, Frisk got everyone to calm down (to your relief). If you could have, you would've hidden under the park bench out of embarrassment.
The group agreed to split up and head home since no one could go longer than a minute without yawning. After Undyne and Papyrus escorted Frisk back to their mother's house, the two of them plopped into the backseat of your car. Not even a few minutes into the drive home, everyone drifted off to sleep with ease. Thankfully, your hot cocoa from earlier gave you enough energy to make the trip back to your house, without it you'd be snoring just like Undyne.
Once you parked your car in the garage and shut it off, you gently woke everyone up (while barely awake yourself). A sleepy Papyrus carried his drowsy brother into the house while Undyne and Alphys shuffled upstairs to their bedroom.
Papyrus, who was a bit confused, left Sans on the living room couch instead of dropping him off in his own room.
Laughing softly at the sight of sleepy Sans, you kick off your boots at the door.
"I know I'm definitely not strong enough to carry you like Papyrus did," You sigh, placing your hands on your hips.
"...Welp, you seem pretty comfortable there anyway. I'll just grab you a blanket and be on my way,"
You pick up a thick blanket that lays in the corner of the couch and drape it over Sans, who happily nuzzles into it. So adorable! You internally squeal.
With one final glance at the cute skeleton, you head upstairs to get some much-needed sleep.

Hah...who needs sleep, right? Apparently not me! For some reason my stupid brain won't. Shut. Up. I mean, I did just kiss the guy of my dreams and now I have a boyfriend and I'm SO SO happy about that!!
...Yeah, how about I go do some stargazing. I'll be up all night if I go on like this, I need a good night's rest.
You hoist yourself out of bed and rub your eyes. Adjusting your sweatpants, you shuffle over to your closet to climb up to your little rooftop sanctuary. After nearly slipping down the ladder twice, you push open the trapdoor and step onto the roof.
Once you brush the snow off of it, you plop down in the cushy beanbag chair and observe the sky with awe. The countless stars greet you with their twinkling and sparkling, you smile up at them as if they're old friends. Clasping your hands in your lap, you take in a deep breath of fresh air and absorb the nature around you.
Although it's cold out, you enjoy the stillness and tranquility of being outside. The snow has stopped falling and a glittering white blanket coats the entirety of the landscape. It glimmers on the tops of trees, shines on every blade of grass, the snow muffles the bustling noise of the world and covers it with beauty.
Your mind becomes dormant in the quiet, you shut your heavy eyelids and slow your breath that comes out in wispy clouds. At last, you feel at peace.
A soft but not unnoticeable noise reaches your ears, causing your eyes to flutter open. You twist around in your beanbag to see that the trapdoor to your roof has been opened by none other than Sans. Your cheeks immediately flush red despite the chilly weather. Even though both of you finally got your feelings across, he still makes you nervous.
"hey," He says, his hands shoved into the pockets of his hoodie.
"Hey," You reply, eyebrows raised.
Without another word, Sans steps towards you and joins you in your beanbag, wrapping an arm around you and resting his cheek against yours. You sigh and sink into him, melting like butter at his warm embrace. He turns to face you and kisses you softly, you smile into the kiss and lean closer to him.
When the two of you break away, he laces his fingers through yours and uses a bit of magic to keep your hand from freezing off.
"the stars are beautiful tonight," Sans whispers, his breath tickling the side of your face.
"Yeah," You murmur, resting your head on his shoulder, "they really are,"
.
.
.
"heh, your face is really warm,"
"Gee, I wonder why,"

About a month after the big night between you and Sans, the other three monsters were able to find their own places to live. Alphys and Undyne moved in together into a cute little house, the two are happier than ever. With Alphys' new job as a professor, they could live comfortably and rest easy.
Papyrus, with his flamboyant and outgoing personality, was able to get a role on some big television network...MTT is what you think Sans called it. He cooks his signature spaghetti with an interesting robot character that you can't help but enjoy watching. Even though most episodes often end with the spaghetti catching on fire and nearly burning down the studio, Papyrus seems to be having the time of his life.
He found his own place as well, according to Sans this new home looks nearly identical to their old place in the underground. He keeps saying that he needs to leave some socks in the living room to give it a "final touch", but you have no idea what he's talking about.
As for you and Sans, the two of you started living together. You both sleep in until noon every day, stay up as late as you want watching YouTube or making fun of some horrible movie. He continues making his terrible puns, you keep laughing at them and coming up with even worse ones. Some nights when it's not too cold, you'll snuggle on the rooftop and admire the stars, talking away for hours.
You were able to heal him when he thought he was untreatable, he was able to break you out of your shell and get you to go out into the world.
It sounds a bit crazy, but you could swear that the two of you are soulmates.
