Vampire Sans / Reader
(Slow burn)
Chapter 2
I took out my lighter from my pocket and lit a candle. Thanks to the storm raging outside, the power had gone out, and I wasn’t going to share a room with a skeleton. I picked up the candle carefully.
“Please follow me to your room. Do you have a name?”
“You can call me Sans. What’s your name?”
“You can call me Y/N.”
He followed a little too close behind me, but if he was searching for sanctuary, then he must be scared.
“So, what exactly are you if you don’t mind me asking?”
It was hard seeing the way around even with a candle.
“Hehe, I thought it was obvious, you know, with the bones and all.”
We turned a corner and went up a flight of stairs.
“Well, I assumed that much, but…those teeth, are they like press-on or something?”
He started to laugh before smirking down at me.
“Oh, I can assure you, they are real.”
We got off at the third floor.
“If you look like that now, I wonder what you looked like before you died.”
We came to a standstill as I tried to remember which hallway to go down. I wanted his room the absolute furthest from mine.
He leaned against a window.
“Who says I died?”
I looked up at him for a moment.
“Oh, I’m sorry, I just thought with you being a skeleton…”
“I didn’t die, I just cheated death.”
“Not from where I’m standing, you didn’t.”
I said as I looked him up and down.
He started to laugh again. His laugh was rough, but calming in a way.
“I didn’t expect a little thing like you to have jokes.”
I let out a sigh of annoyance.
“Who says I’m joking?”
We started walking again and eventually found the room. It had plenty of blankets and what looked to be a comfortable bed.
“This seems lovely, thank you.”
I gave a short nod and turned to leave to go back to my room, but suddenly he reached out and held my hand. I was to stunned to speak.
“I mean it, thank you.”
I could just barely make out his face in the dimly lit room. It wasn’t fearful or devious, but truly grateful.
“You’re welcome.”
After a second more of silence, I left and started back down to my room. It had been a very strange night, to say the least. I didn’t expect to meet Sans, and as wild as it might be to say, I think that if he stays for a little while, we could actually be good acquaintances.
I flopped onto my bed and sighed as, for once, the deep exhaustion finally won, and I finally fell into a deep sleep.
