When you fell, you'd been scared at first. You were shy. Others simply scared you. The only thing that calmed you, was your guitar. It broke in the fall though. So you considered yourself alone with nothing. That scared you. In order to avoid monsters, you walked through the woods, just close enough to see the path. "SANS." You jumped at the loud voice, ducking behind a tree. "I'M GLAD YOU AGREED TO COME WITH ME ON SENTRY DUTY. IT'S NO GOOD BEING COOPED UP IN THE HOUSE ALL THE TIME." They were canid skeletons. The tallest wore an orange sweater, purple scarf, and black pants. The shorter skeleton wore a zipped up purple hoodie, orange scarf, and grey shorts. He had purple headphones on and looked all around sad. That made you sad. Along with that, he kept a distance from the taller, skirting closer to the woods. "mmhm." He hummed quietly in reply to the taller. He frowned. "SANS.." Sans looked away from the taller, and into the woods. You hoped he wouldn't spot you. It seemed.. You'd be stuck here for awhile.

🎵🎵🎵

You woke up to.. a guitar? When did you even fall asleep? As scared as you were, you wanted to know who was playing. You wove and ducked behind hiding spots as you grew closer to the noise. It was the shorter skeleton. He was playing.. and he was really good. Sans, the other had called him. If only your guitar wasn't broken.. you would have loved to learn the song.. once you gathered the courage too. You listened for quite awhile before he looked up. His eyelights locked with yours and you both froze. Then you squeaked and flipped behind the tree. After a minute, he started playing again and you poked your head back out. You froze again, realizing that he was still watching your spot while he played. You were torn with the desire to hide and the desire to play. "..."
"..." Neither of you got closer. He finally relaxed, and looked down to make sure he had the placement right.

🎵🎵🎵

For 6 weeks you came to listen. He became accustomed to it, and even came to enjoy it. Neither of you ever spoke, but both of you were ok with that. Then the weather got bad. Very bad. You'd been camping out in the woods, but now you were freezing. It was so cold. You were so cold. You couldn't see anything in the blinding whiteness. But you felt it. Barely, but you felt a hand take yours them you were no longer in the snowstorm, but in a bedroom. Sans took off his jacket and wrapped it around you, then took off his scarf and again, put it around you. He did the same with a blanket, before sitting on the bed across from you. It was silent again. You.. decided to break the silence, for once. "Th-thank you.." He looked at you. "...you're welcome.."
"Y-you play good.." His tail wagged a little. "thanks.. um.. what's your name..?"
"[Y/N].. I'm [Y/N]."
"Sans."

🎵🎵🎵

You and Sans had fallen asleep, backs against the wall. He was gone when you woke up. So you waited. You waited for him. While you waited, you noticed he'd left his guitar. You couldn't help it. You started playing. The song was Far Away. You became aware of eyes on you. It seemed the roles had changed, you were the one playing and he was the one listening. When you finished, you apologized. "I'm sorry for touching your guitar, I won't do it again!"
"ya know.. you play good too." You blushed. "It.. really isn't."
"nor is mine.." You chuckled. "But it is!"
"so is yours."
"Sans?" He perked and tilted his head. "hm?"
"I'm hungry.." He glanced at the door. "then let's eat."

🎵🎵🎵

He led you down stairs and to the kitchen where the taller skeleton and another skeleton were sitting. You immediately hid behind Sans, the skeleton tensing as you did so. The two paused. "Sans.. will you be.. joining us?" The way he made that sound suggested Sans didn't eat with them. He nodded slowly, still tense. He turned his skull a little. "uh.. you can stop hiding.. [Y/N].. they.. uh.. they won't hurt you.." You poked your head out from behind him. You waved the the startled skeletons shyly. "she was.. um.. hungry.."
"I SEE.. COME THEM, HUMAN. PLEASE JOIN US." You did. It was kind of scary, but you felt safer with Sans here as well. He was still keeping distance though. Why? You learned that the taller was Sans brother, Papyrus. The other was his dad, Gaster.

🎵🎵🎵

When you went upstairs, Sans stopped. "i'm.. not safe.. you shouldn't be around me."
"Why..?"
"i.. hurt people.. i could hurt you.."
"You won't." He shot a glare at you and you took a step back. "how do you know?"
"B-because.. you care.. you care if you hurt us and... and that means you won't." His glare faltered. "i.." You rushed over and hugged him. "I don't care that you hurt people! I.. I wanna be with you!" He blushed heavily and slowly wrapped his arms around you. He felt.. he didn't know.. he just knew that it was a good feeling. "[Y/N].. thank you.."
