Ah, so Frisk enjoyed Tori's mothering, that was understandable. It made sense in a way. Sans.... He didn't have a mother...... Not one that he could remember. Sometimes it felt like something had been there, when he really though hard about it, but as far back as he could remember, it'd just been him taking care of Paps.

And the taller skeleton reveled in the attention. Perhaps Sans playing both mom and dad was what sparked that childish trigger in him. In all honesty, Sans probably shouldn't have spoiled Papy as much as had, but how could he say no?

Papyrus had been there as far back as Sans could remember.  All he could recall from before that... Was the feeling of loneliness. But Paps saved him from that loneliness, kept him loved by someone, and filled all the emptiness in his soul.

Or at least he did until Frisk decided to join in with them. Now it was like having two kids to watch over. Except there was something... More he felt for Frisk, he just couldn't place it.

"It's nice to have a mom who cares."

Sans' eye sockets widened a bit at the statement. He just stared for a moment before sitting back in his chair and scratched the back of his neck,"O-oh really?" It was probably the lamest response he'd ever given, but how was he supposed to respond to that?

Frisk never talked about her real parents, never spoke of her real family. After all, all of the Underground was her family now, what more could she want, right? But.... The way she said it, it seemed like her real mother hadn't been the best. Not that he was an expert on families and stuff, but he knew that mothers were by far an important role to fill.

And suddenly Frisk scurried off into the kitchen with Toriel.

She was running away. Just like he did.

Well, she did learn from the best.

He really should listen to Paps more and stop setting such a bad example for her. 

Just as quickly as she'd disappeared, both Toriel and Frisk came out of the kitchen with plates of pie and forks. He gave a quiet thanks to Tori as she handed him a plate and fork. Unsure of what to say or do, Sans did what he did best. He took a huge bite out of hisbslice of pie, chewing it slowly as he let all of the flavors dance over his ethereal tongue.

And then Tori asked how Papyrus was doing. Sans quickly swallowed,"Ah, he's doin' good. Off training with Undyne right now, but he should be down in an hour or so."

Man, he felt so awkward now. He shouldn't have brought up the mother thing. Bad move Sans.

As silence seemed to creep up on them again, Sans quickly polished off the rest of his pie and stood. Now was a good time to go visit Alphys. He didn't really want to take Frisk to the lab with him, seeing as he was so jumpy in there already. He wiped the crumbs from his teeth and walked over to the pair, a small smile on his face,"Well, s'bout time for me to go check in with Alphys. Is it cool if Frisk waits around here for me?"

He didn't give the human time to argue as he ruffled her hair playfully and gave a quiet,"See ya in a few, kiddo." He wasted no time in sauntering down the stairs, waiting until he was in the hallway before he used his famous 'shortcut' to appear on Alphys' used sofa just in time for both the scientist and Undyne to place an unsuspecting kiss on both of his cheeks.

He sat there a moment, waiting to see when the two eager beavers would notice. But they didn't seem to, and he could feel drool slipping down his cheeks. "Sorry for cutting in, you guys, bu-" SANS didn't even get to finish as both women began screaming.
