Papyrus grumbled under his breath as he looked at thescratch marks on his hand, then to the small fox curling itself in the corner;watching him warily.
Maybe the clippers were too intimidating? He merely just wantedto trim those sharp nails of his pet. He didn’t think that the other wouldstruggle so much.
“Listen, Sans,” That was the name he decided on the stray foxhe picked up a week ago, and the fox seemed to respond just fine to it. “I wassimply going to trim your nails. It won’t hur—”
Sans whimpered. He really didn’t like that metal device. Itwas going to eat his nails! Look, it chopped one off!
The little fox looked to the ‘trimmed’ nail and compared itto his sharp claws. He worked so hard to grow and make them sharp. It made iteasier to eat food, and hurt enemies…
Ah, well, he didn’t mean to hurt his owner. Sans’ earsflopped down as he subconsciously whined some more.
Seeing this, Papyrus’ mouth twitched. His inner self was tightlyclutching to his chest at how adorable his pet looked. He wanted to pamper andpet the fucker. However, Papyrus held himself back.
If he coddled the little fox too much, then Sans won’t beable to follow order easily …? Well, it was a possibility that he would. Makeit sound like little request and give him praise for achievement. But doing somay also make the other become cheekier and uncontrollable. It was too much ofa risk.
Papyrus decided to bargain in the end. “Sans,” the littlefox looked up. “I know you like your … claws sharp. However, if you keep themthen … I won’t be able to hug you.”
Sans was shocked. What?!No hugs?!
Seeing this, Papyrus continued. “And we won’t be to sleeptogether anymore.”
Sans gasped, his paws lifted to hover over his mouth as ifto emphasize the expression. No moresleeping together too?!
Papyrus held himself back from just grabbing phone and takinga picture at how cute the latter looked doing so. He kept a calm and collectedappearance, merely stating these ‘dooming’ facts. “Since you now know, do youstill want to keep them Sans? I won’t ask any more afterwards.”
The tall skeleton watched the fox hesitate, looking at hispaws in dejection, and then moving to stand and come towards him.
Seeing the forlorn expression, Papyrus petted Sans’ head toalleviate the other’s mood. “Thank you, Sans.”
Sans leaned into the touch and nuzzled it. For his owner, hesupposed that he didn’t mind.
The ceo bit, meh. Even if Paps was the ceo, didn’t rlly know how to make that particular part more pronounced or related to the matter. derp.
