Chapter Text
On a Thursday night, a thought had entered his mind, as he watched a young lady enter her home.
He was curious of how normal humans and monsters lived, so he would watch them from the shadows so that they wouldn't die of fright from seeing him. His black hood stood draped over his skull, as his black cloak gently rustled in the cool breeze that passed by. The place he was hidden this time was on a tree branch surrounded by green leaves and pink buds that were nearly ready to bloom.
As he sat on the tree branch that was part of a tree just outside of this particular young lady's home, he kept his white pupils and dark eyes fixed on her. For six months he kept his eye-sockets out for this particular lady, and he became more entranced and interested in her each week that passed.
Her hair was as black as a raven's feathers, besides a quarter up from the ends which was midnight blue. She wore her hair in a low ponytail with a blue ribbon, while her bangs laid freely just above her royal purple eyes. Her skin was tan color, and she had one white fang just over her right bottom lip from under the top one. The clothes she wore was a royal purple scarf around her neck that was translucent on the ends, a thin black jacket with silver zipper pockets, boot-cut blue jeans, and black boots with silver zippers on the sides and tied laces that were tucked into the boots. She held an emerald green backpack in her arms, as she grabbed her keys from within the bag and opened her front door.
Upon entering her home, the young lady signed as she closed the front door and locked it. She threw her backpack on her living room couch, and proceeded straight towards her room.
Her house was small with a front yard and backyard, but it wasn't so small. The front door led to the living room, where a blue couch stood on the right wall and a television on the left with shelves under it that had cable, a DVD player, and various video game consoles. The next room on the right of the television was the kitchen with an island in the center and other essentials of a kitchen. The room that was on the opposite side of the front door was a small hall that had a staircase on the right wall that led up to the bedroom, and a backdoor that led to the backyard, which was always locked and blocked by a large bookcase with a various assortment of books. A bathroom was on the left side, and there was another bathroom for the bedroom.
The lady entered her bedroom and took a quick shower. Afterward, she put on her pajamas, which was a black t-shirt with a white thunderbolt on the center of it, and black long pants with fuzzy white slippers that she took off when she was in bed.
Her bedroom, unlike the rest of the house that had white walls and wooden polished floors, had blue-colored walls and light blue carpeting. A window with a purple curtain stood on the same side where the front door was a floor below, and the bed with a blue and white flower patterned blanket stood on the wall adjacent to the window with the headboard resting on the wall. A few cabinets that stood two feet tall were on the walls opposite of the bed with a closet on right side of it, and the bathroom was opposite to the closet.
The lady plugged her phone into a charger that stood on a wooden lamp-stand next to her bed. She turned off the green shade and black body lamp, as she checked her phone once more before going to sleep.
Message 1: Marisol
"Hey Curtain. Tomorrow we're going to hangout at that food market and then head to the mall to annoy Joseph's customers. Are you in?"
The young lady, known as Curtain, snickered as she wrote a message back to her friend.
Message 2: Curtain
"Alright. I'll see ya guys tomorrow. I'm going to sleep.
Message 3: Marisol
"Okay. Goodnight sis.
Message 4: Curtain
"Night sis."
Although the two weren't actual sisters, they grew up together like siblings since their parents were best friends, so they do refer to each other as 'sis' or 'sister.' Curtain is older, so she would be the older 'sister.'
Curtain turned off her phone and tucked herself in to go to sleep.
Outside on the tree, he looked towards her window as he saw that the light that was dimly lit on the curtains turned dark, meaning that Curtain was going to sleep. He reached under his cloak into his inner black shirt pocket, as he took out a black cellphone. Checking the time to be nine o'clock, he snickered and thought,
'She's sleeping earlier than usual today. She must be bone -tired. Heh.'
His cellphone vibrated, as a message popped up from his younger brother.
Message 1: Papyrus
"Sans! Where are you?! I need your help with sharpening my scythe!"
He, known as Sans, chuckled a little, and replied to his younger brother's message.
Message 2: Sans
"I'm on my way now. I lost scythe of time."
Message 3: Papyrus
"Sans that pun doesn't even make sense!"
Message 4: Sans
"I think you mean, make scythe."
Message 5: Papyrus
"SANS! Just come here!"
Message 6: Sans
"Alright, alright. I'm on my way. I killed enough time already."
Message 7: Papyrus
"AAAHHHH!"
Sans chuckled, as he held his hand over his mouth to keep himself from laughing out loud. Then he put his phone away, as he looked towards Curtain's window once more. He picked up his black-handed and silver-bladed scythe, which was leaning on the tree bark.
'I'll be back soon Curtain. I just need a way to keep you safe without any accidents… or maybe…' Sans thought, as his smile widened a bit.
After a moment to breathe in the fresh air, uncertain of how he could truly breathe it in since he is a skeleton but not questioning it further, Sans took a shortcut back to his home.
'I'll make a way to keep her… forever.'
