jes when did i lose you? i thought if anyone would keep me in their heart, it’d be you.’ Sans crouched in the darkness before settling against the cold, jagged support of the stone in a nightfelled field. He almost tripped on it; sensing a kindred spirit in the lone rock, half-devoured by unmaintained grass and thistles, the skeleton decided to stay. He did not feel the prickly oppositions pulling at his hoodie and marking his leg bones.

yer so persistent ta chase me away, force me ta be with others.’ The night was cold; the stone silently coerced his body heat to leave. Sans didn’t move. ‘maybe ya jes dun need me anymore.

It was often that Frisk would insist she enjoyed his company, her eyes bright and smile unyielding, but how true were those words? Sans used to know; he thought he knew. So many fresh days whispered doubts into his skull.

when i’m not there—even when i am—i ain’t the reason yer smilin’.’ Images flickered through his mind, her beautiful face lit only by the glow of her cellphone screen. ‘it ain’t me ticklin’ yer funny bone…

Seated in the dark, his comrade huddling away any warmth, Sans sighed; the weight upon his soul increased. ‘maybe i’m the real joke fer thinkin’ like that.’ Tipping his skull back, Sans felt the night chill sink into his bones and the spaces between.

not like i’ve ever been memorable ta anybody ‘cross time, right?’  
maybe i was never special, jes the illusions of a foolish bone pile...

Something I wrote while eating lunch today. A lump in the throat takes away some enjoyment of a peanut butter and jam sandwich. Sans doesn't always have these kinds of thoughts but they do happen when she seems closer to the surface rather than the Underground.

A deep and overall heavy piece. It gave me too many feels...
