A Final Boss Awakens!

[Sans]

The only way he could have woken up to an even brighter tomorrow was if he could see Papyrus anywhere in the room. Or see anything at all, really. He couldn't lift his face up and off of her black armor to get a good look at anything, but he no longer cared. Besides, it would give him the change to do something he had never done in public for a long time.

He returned Undyne's embrace, ignoring the massive amount of force pressing around his torso. The edges of his bony smile curved straight upwards, which showed off how white and sparkly his teeth was. The movement of his mouth sent an unusual feeling all throughout his face, as if he was managing to make a stone statue smirk. It required a bit of force from just how long his typical "smile" had been glued onto his face. Hell, he had almost forgotten how to actually do a normal smile.

Undyne, though, gave him a much needed reminder.

He said nothing for a long while, fighting off the urge to vomit and trying to at least enjoy the hug while it lasted. After a minute or so, however, hot bile started to crawl up his throat, burning his neck. Closing his mouth, he lightly pounded on Undyne's back while making muffled, yet obviously distressed groans. She could hardly hear him considering she basically shoved his face into her armored chest, but the light thunk sounds from her metal armor was enough to get her attention. She loosened her grip, dropping Sans to the floor. He sorta liquefied on the spot, rotating white swirls for eyes as he stumbled around. The world was positively spinning for him. He tripped back onto the couch. He lolled his skull to the side, managing to focus on the one person in the room that mattered most to him: Undyne.

"un-undyne... you've... gotten better since we last met. new haircut?"

She rolled her eyes. "Hardee-har-har. Good to see you too, Sans."

"i can tell. you almost killed me with how much you missed me."

"Ah, yeah... sorry about that.." She rubbed the back of her head, smiling, "you feeling okay?"

"well, i'm not dead, so that's good. it would certainly feel bad if i was dead."

Undyne chuckled, crossing her arms across her torso. She turned towards the alien Desco. "So... who's your friend?"

"oh, that's desco." He waved a bony hand in Desco's direction. She responded with a jubilant hop and a similarly jovial hand-wave. "she's some kind of alien from outer-space or somesuch. met her at the candy emporium a ways away."

He decided not to mention the fact that he had bore witness to her murdering one of her own Prinnies and causing an explosion in the city square which resulted in a short confrontation with the city guards that would have almost certainly would have ended in them having to flee for their lives if it wasn't for the fact that the guard who came up to them apparently knew her. He never fully appreciated how useful it would be to be friends with the Royal Guard leader up until now.

He almost burst out into laughter. It was half-tempted to inform Undyne that there was a new Royal Guard leader, but his better judgement won out. The last thing he wanted was to have to chase down Undyne before she literally challenged Nyeseth to a duel of fates or something related to anime when they should have been out looking for-

Papyrus.

His smile didn't disappear. Rather, it seemed to reglue itself back onto his face, bringing back the goofy, perhaps a bit unnerving, radiant clown smirk.

"say, undyne... you don't know where papyrus is, do you?"
