Two jackets || Sans x reader || Read desc. for TW (ARCHIVED, NOT FINISHED)

I sighed as the gyms lights dimmed down. All the hosts started to leave the gym except for one... Asgore. The king of all monsters... He seemed rather quiet the entire time at the party, well, aside from speaking to me. I looked past the gym's doors, and all the other hosts, except for Undyne, seemed to not care. I gave a smile towards Undyne and nodded my head down as a sign to tell her to go ahead. She was a little hesitant to leave him but, she eventually walked away with Alphys...

I looked away from the hall and looked inside the gym from the doorway, there asgore was... He was just sitting beside the main table that had all the drinks and food on them. He was staring down at his hand, that was placed on the table. There was a dimmed light above him, and it allowed me to see his tears shimmer in the spotlight. I could tell how hurt he was, and afraid... I couldn't tell of what though. I decided to walk up to him. 

My shoes clanked against the hard ground as I made my way towards him. The sound made him alert and he quickly rubbed his eyes, and put away whatever was in his hand. He looked up and noticed that it was me, and he smiled. 

"Oh, y/n... greetings. Is there something you left?" Asgore's voice seemed perfectly normal, but, I could hear it breaking a bit. He was holding back something from me. 

"Asgore... What's wrong? Are you alright?..." I gave him a soft smile, as a way to reassure him that he's safe. 

Before I could say anything else, his smile turned into a grim frown. His eyes poured out all his saved tears. 

"O-Oh dear... I-I'm so- so sorry..." Asgore apologized. 

"You're alright, Asgore..." I placed my hand on his back and patted it. 

He rubbed his eyes to get rid of the tears but, it just made more pour out. "T-Today... is the anniversary of my c-child falling down Ebott mountain..."

wait what- Fell? "I-I'm sorry- I-... uhm... I don't think I understand all that well?"

A bitter-sweet chuckle came out of him. "It's alright. I didn't expect you too.... Long ago, my son, Asriel, was playing out in the flowers in the ruins. It just so happens that the entrance to the underground was right around the flowers. Me and to-..."

 He stopped himself. He cleared his throat, "Me and his mother went off to the side of the flower patch, a bit away from Asriel... Just as we were away from him, a child fell down. Asriel went to go help them and so did his mother. I tried to but... I'm far too... dangerous... See?" 

He brought his hand up and showed off his claws, "I was afraid of hurting the child. But, even though I didn't help them on their first day in the underground, they somehow grew closer and closer to me.... They even made me..." He started to laugh a bit but it turned into sobbing, "T-They made me a pie... a-and they used the w-wrong ingredients... rather... p-poisonous ingredients... o-o-of course at the t-time I was sick but, i-it was nice of them t-to try to m-make me something..." 

He glanced away from me. "A-Anyways, after a few years, something... horrible happened. The child fell ill..." 

Before I heard the rest, I felt like I already knew what was about to happen. A could feel a tear form at the corner of my eye. 

"My child, Chara, soon passed away after that... but... even after all that, something else, something I thought would never, ever, ever happen... happened.... Asriel... H-he..." Asgore, with his shaking hand, pulled out a golden heart shaped locket from his pocket, "Asriel, with all his grieve, took chara's soul and decided to bring them to the surface, to let them rest among their village. But, the humans... they... hurt him... I'm assuming they though Asriel k-killed Chara, their sibling. But even after that, all the k-knifes, all the a-arrows... Asriel brought Chara back to the underground... but with all his wounds, Asriel died. His dust was spread across my flower garden..." 

The king of all monsters sat there, weeping, as he looked down at the locket. I looked down at the locket and inside was a picture of two children, I'm assuming Asriel and Chara. Engraved on the other side of the locket was the words, "Best Friends"...

I started to tear up... Never had I knew what happened to the monster's prince, I've heard about him but, never had I actually knew that he died. I wrapped my arms around asgore as he cried even harder. Asgore, in turn, latched onto me, tightly at that. It seemed like he had never really talked to anyone about this before... nor did he ever process all of his feelings from these events. 

"Hey, hey... I'm so sorry that's happened to you. But, at least everyone's free now... Asriel probably would be so happy about this all, he's probably proud of you and his kind for making it this far. Something I like to do when I remember those who've died or those who've passed his focus on the happy things about it all. And I know, it's tough but, you don't need to bottle it up anymore..." I tried to comfort him...

"Th-Thank you, y/n..." He said as he let go of me. 

He rubbed his eyes, and his whole face, to get all the tears off of him. He grabbed the heart locket one more time and sighed. Instead of placing it inside of his pocket, he put it around his neck. 

"Oh my, It's probably terribly late now... I apologize for keeping you here!" Asgore bowed his head down. 

"O-Oh no!! It's alright, your majesty!!" I say, flustered. Why was someone with such a high title be bowing down to me. 

"Mhm... If you say so." Asgore brought his head up.

"I suppose I'll stay behind and clean up some more, do not worry about me, y/n. You should go home and get a good night's rest." Asgore grabbed a broom and started sweeping up the confetti, dirt, and a miscellaneous of other things. 

"Alright, Goodbye, Asgore. I hope you have a good night." I wave off to him and smile as I leave. 

He waved back and gave the brightest smile i've ever seen back towards me. 

I smile fondly as I think about Asgore's children. Based on the photo I saw, they seemed very happy in their lifetime... Before I allow myself to be saddened by their passing, I think about other things. 

My mind starts to drift to other things, like the events that happened in these school halls, people that I surrounded myself with... and my friends. I keep on telling myself it wasn't my fault that things ended that way but... it really was. I shook my head and tried to free my mind from those thoughts. I walked down the empty halls that were once so full of life. I glance down at the floor, ah yes, something I was so familiar with during my time at school. They were my guides, my saviors, my one and only safe place... I remember walking along those cold, grey floors during my school days, and bumping into so many people due to me not watching where I was going... hahaha... that was a fun time, huh? 

As I was reminiscing about the past, I didn't even realize I was at the end of the hall until I bumped into the doors. 

'Huh?- Oh, right... '

I opened the doors and saw a bright red car just sitting in the parking lot. I ignored it and walked down the stairs outside of the doors, while looking down at my phone. I tried to pull up the time but, the sudden zooming of the red car shocked me. It was driving right towards me. 

"H-HEY??? THE HELL ARE YOU DOIN- AAAAAAAA" I yelled out as the car got closer and closer. I flinched a bit before the car stopped. 

The car swerved to the side and the window slowly rolled down. 

Behind the window was Papyrus, "Hello human y/n!! Would you like me to drive you home? I noticed you didn't have a car out here."
