"Life's Unpredictable Path"
Prompt: (https://undertale.fandom.com/wiki/Sans., https://undertale.fandom.com/wiki/Papyrus) and then *Sans was chilling at his hotdog stand it wasn’t a hotdog stand really….there was a hotdog store right next to it selling all sorts of hotdogs and it actually have customers…sans have no idea why his stand is actually popular maybe the hotdogs are much better…he shrugs it off and just laid back like usual with no care in the world well except thinking of his static state that seems more apparent as the days passed nothing stayed the same anymore ….he has nothing for himself.it turned out very clear that is he and Toriel were never friends,they bonded over back in the underground behind the door with only jokes and puns and Toriel probably was coping for her loneliness after she left Asgore and hid in ruined they didn’t even share name basis until the barrier broke….the only activities he share is when paps drag him into or go to grillby and perform puns or drink ketchup even that is impossible now…his restaurant is flourishing and the business is serious he would only be a drag if he make “tabs” and unpaid messing around the place.everything is so…new and unpredictable** * *he looks at the sky it was a beautiful clear sky a perfect weather….for a walk.* *he stood up and began to take walk…with no real destination he just walk and think* *he look at the city and the people walking in the sidewalks he just look at how everyone is doing their thing some are running to places some are shopping even monsters is in with it all…he then noticed the kids playing…he chuckled and just continued walking* *he walks and walk until something caught he attention.a park….it was a park with a big playground for children a pond with ducks….and a bench on the corner with shade* *he walked to the bench and sit down on it…he look at the pond the ducks were just swimming without a single care in the world* *some figure approached him a police woman with recentcutted short hair ..it’s non other than Undyne-sans kinda forgot that unlike the others who are busy in worldly matter Undyne is just a mere police woman* "…sup undyne" *he leaned back into the bench not looking at her and just relaxing on the bench* *Undyne sat on the bench with him crossing her arms* "….got a minute?" *sans chuckled and closed his eyes* "i got the whole day in fact." *she rolled her eyes before continuing* "…I need to ask you something…" *sans opened his eyes not that he had pupils but it was obvious he is paying attention to her* "yeah?what is it?""…why aren't you doing anything with your life?.." *she asked him bluntly he wasn't surprise she was straight the point type* *sans chuckled again and said nonchalantly* "what do you mean?i am doing something…i'm selling hotdogs" *Undyne stared at him with a surprise non angry expression for someone all into giving all out* "Aha can’t complain when all I do is doing boring paper work”"…you know what I mean…everyone is doing something.paps is a famous ambassador to monster and humans…mettaton is a famous celebrity….even Alphys is making a new revolution in tech and magic…and yet you're just sitting here selling hotdogs like nothing…" *she waved her hands until she slapped her forehead* “And I! I mean I was Undyne captain of the royal guard I mean I don’t want to brag and I just became to be a hero but to reduce to mere oolice making paper work of some sort!” *he chuckled a little and closed his eyes once more…but not because he find it amusing.it was actually out of sarcasm ….he let out sigh and reopened his eyes* "…that just how things turned out." *sans replied his usual laid back tone….it isn’t like he's annoyed but not in a good mood either.* *Undyne sighed and looked at the sky* "…really just because that's how things go…no ambitions…no purpose?" *sans closed his eyes again…she's hitting a pretty accurate nail in the head for some reason* "….i guess so…" *he answered quietly as possible …trying to avoid the topic* “You seem more troubled by this problem of being a mere police woman than my funny state though”*Undyne raised her eyebrows at his answer* "Of course I am troubled…I'm just a cop doing mere paper work…I'm not doing anything…I have no purpose" *she crossed her arms and leaned back on the bench* "but in your case…you're just selling hotdogs…doing nothing but just sleeping…are you really happy with just this?" *sans looked down…she's really pushing with the question* *sans remained quiet….she's really asking a lot of questions…and the worst part is..he didn't even know how to answer any of them* *she sighed and continued* "….don't you want something more than this?anything?" *sans kept quiet….he had no answer….he just stared at the ground in thought…* “Nah..honestly not really..are you okay though?”*she groaned in frustration of his answer* "Don’t kid yourself sans!…I am trying to get something out of you and you just answered with a shrug." *shes getting more and more frustrated* "Of course I'm not okay!i'm doing nothing in life..I'm stuck being a mere cop" *she gritted her teeth* "What worse it’s because I am a monster because humans don’t trust monsters enough..at least they could allow me guard papyrus but nooo royal figure of monsters aren’t allowed because we don’t have a ruler after king Asgore retired and now we are like…pets to them and even as a police man I can’t do a thing to monster victims because I need to file a paper and wait for who know how long until it’s too late and I can’t fight because another war…isn’t an option” *she regretfully have difficulty saying the last as much she had hatred to humans even in underground because they trapped and even after meeting frisk that proved her human can be kind it proved her they are so tough and with how sooo many humans are it’s….hopeless* *sans looked at Undyne…he never seen her this frustrated before…he never knew how much the situation affect her…* *he sighed and finally said something* "…you still hate humans huh” *she gave him a look and said sarcastically* "What gave you that idea…I freaking love it…" *sans rolled his eyes* "Yeah yeah sarcasm got it."*she sighed and looked at the ground* "…what else would I feel?i don't hate them….i hate what humans had done and is…it's just…frustrated is what I feel and it's annoying." *sans gave a small shrug but still listened* "…but look in the bright side our state is much better than how we started paps and the human (frisk) made so much far to let us settle isn’t he the coolest”*Undyne nodded, a bit of the tension leaving her shoulders* "Yeah…paps really is the coolest…and frisk…I guess She is alright." *she said, her earlier frustration fading away a bit* "But that doesn't change the fact that I'm not doing anything meaningful…how are you so calm doing nothing"*sans shrugged again, a slight smirk on his face* "Eh, I guess I'm just naturally chill" *he said, trying to play it off nonchalantly* *he used to do and continue like that for a really long time why would he change now …even if everyone changed and moved on ..or everything he used is different * *Undyne shook her head, clearly not buying his nonchalant attitude* "Don't give me that 'naturally chill' crap. You're too smart and too lazy to not have any goals or aspirations." *she said, crossing her arms again.* "You can't tell me you're content with just selling hotdogs for the rest of your life"*sans chuckled but it was almost a bit soulless* "It's not like I have anything else to do." *he said it nonchalantly, but there was a hint of something else in his voice….like he's trying to convince himself not her though later he glanced up at Undyne raised an eyebrow * “Though in your case I think your are the one needing to solve it are you okay you seem sour “*Undyne noticed his tone and rolled her eyes* "Yeah, I'm just peachy. I love being a police officer stuck with paperwork all day and not being able to use my full potential. It's just great" *she said sarcastically, her earlier frustration coming back.* *sans gave a small chuckle at her sarcasm* "Heh, you've always been impatient,maybe you key is just wait it out and let the life take it course." *he said, a hint of amusement in his voice* *he leaned back against the bench and looked up at the sky* "You know….you're not the only one frustrated." *he said, his tone a little more serious this time* *Undyne groaned and ran a hand through her hair* "Because someone have to do it?…monsters hopes and dreams are effected by it even by one of I can save what remaining in someway or sort I would do it..and who knows maybe just like you said they would let you later to do more for monsterkind sake *she said, a mix of frustration and resignation in her voice* "And it's not like I have many options. We're monsters, remember? We're lucky they even allowed us to have jobs in the first place if I quit that what the humans would want"*sans stared at her yep he don’t relate to her at all why does she even have a problem with that smirk* “Then you solved your problem why are your troubles by it then? As you said it you are Undyne the hero who never give up and that’s your solution as you said to not give up it’s just sometimes the result are very slow” *she crossed her arms and grumbled* "Bet ya I will do even more than that!” *sans chuckled at her determination* "Heh, there's the Undyne I know." *he said, a small smile on his face yep truly she is the complete opposite of him that hero* *she gave him a cocky smile* "You bet I will! I ain't gonna let stupid paperwork get the best of me!" *sans chuckled again he really wish he was as optimistic as her sometimes* "That's the spirit." *he said, genuinely happy to see a bit of her old confidence back* *she gave him a cocky smile* "You bet I will! I ain't gonna let stupid paperwork get the best of me!" *sans chuckled again he really wish he was as optimistic as her sometimes* "That's the spirit." *he said, genuinely happy to see a bit of her old confidence back* *she punched the air confidently* "I'll show 'em! I'll prove to them that a monster can do just as much as a human, if not more!" *sans leaned back on the bench, still smiling. It was nice to see her getting motivated again* "Heh, I have no doubt you will" *though it seems he will sit for a while until undyne finish her monologue sigh* *she went on for a while, rambling about her determination and how she was gonna prove her worth as a monster* *sans just listened, occasionally giving a "yeah" or "you got it" type of response.* *after a while, she seemed to run out of steam and fell silent, panting a little* "Phew, I needed that" *she said, slumping back down on the bench next to him* “Yeah clearly your welcome “ *sans laughed he would have sigh with relief though that would be rude* *she gave him a playful punch on the arm* "Heh, shut up" *she said, but there was no real bite to it* *she sat in silence for a moment before suddenly speaking up again* "Hey, you said you were frustrated too, right?"*he chuckled and rubbed his arm where she had punched him* "Yeah, I did say that" *he leaned back and looked up at the sky* "But honestly my frustrations are nothing compared to your's"m and I am okay its just a bummer that I can’t go to grillby anymore”*she looked at him with a raised eyebrow* "Wait, what do you mean you can't go to Grillby's anymore? Did something happen?"*he shrugged* "Well...it's not that I can't go to Grillby's. It's just that it's not the same anymore." *he said, his tone turning a little sadder* "After the barrier broke and the monsters were free, Grillby's has become a big deal. The place is always filled with customers and tourists now. It used to be a place where I could just relax and drink in peace." *he smirked and joked and leaned forward on the bench* “I couldn’t even build up my tabs a shame really heh”*she chuckled, shaking her head in disbelief* "Seriously? You're upset because you can't build up a tab anymore?" *he gave a sheepish grin* "Hey, a skeleton's gotta have his priorities right? Besides…a big part of the fun was seeing how much higher the tab gets before Grillby finally cuts me off.its a badge of honor” *he said with a shrug* *she rolled her eyes but smirked nonetheless* "Only you would find joy in driving poor Grillby insane with your endless tab" *she said, shaking her head in amused disbelief* *he chuckled and gave her a wink* "Yeah truly missed doing that ,he may secretly even love it for who knows what,Why else would he keep letting me rack up the tab?" *he said, shrugging with a lazy smile* *Undyne rolled her eyes again* "You're ridiculous, you know that?" *she said, but there was a hint of amusement in her voice* "You're making a big deal out of nothing. So what if you can't go to Grillby's all the time? There are other places you can hang out."*he shrugs as he slouched * "Would you look at that your right.as you said problem solved.told ya my issue isn’t as big as yours” *he said wistfully, still looking up at the sky* *she shook her head, still clearly amused by him* "Of course I'm right. I'm always right." *she said, crossing her arms* "Still….you seem pretty down about this. You miss the old Grillby's that much, huh?"*he turned his head to her hums* "hmmmis that so..what gives?”"You just seem a lot more quiet than usual, and...I don't know, maybe a little sad." *she pointed out. She was surprisingly observant of his mood.* “Is it about papyrus?”*he was actually a bit taken aback by her observation. He hadn't expected her to notice his change in mood that much.* *he shook his head, trying to shrug off her concern.* "Nah, it's not about Paps. He's fine and is doing great."*she didn't seem convinced by his response* "You sure? You usually talk about him on and on you barley never miss an opportunity to mention him” *she pointed out, her eyes narrowing in suspicion .she really paying attention.* *he rolled his eyes at her comment* "I'm not obsessed with Paps, you know." *he said, half-jokingly. he leaned back on the bench, trying to brush off her concern.* "I just like talking about him, that's all."*she raised an eyebrow, still not buying his excuse* "Uh-huh. Sure, you're not obsessed. You just happen to talk about him every chance you get." *she smirked, enjoying teasing him a bit.* “Wow look at him isn’t he the coolest?,my brother this my brother that even back in the underground where he was….mo offense a weirdo”*he gave her a mock offended look* "Hey, don't call Paps a weirdo. He's just....unique." *he said, crossing his arms. He knew she was teasing him, but he couldn't help but defend his brother* “Sarcasm isn’t funny you know?”*she couldn't help but laugh at his reaction* "Aw, come on, I'm just messing with you." *she grinned and bumped her shoulder against the bench handle* "Besides, you know I think Papyrus is cool too he is my best friend."*he chuckled and shook his head* "Yeah, I know you're just giving me a hard time. But seriously, Paps is pretty great." *he agreed. He knew that Undyne genuinely liked Papyrus, she was like a sister to him after all if she wasn’t he would let paps share a breath with his brother* *she nodded in agreement* "He is. He's always so positive and full of energy. It's impossible to not like him." *she leaned back on the bench, a small smile on her face* "It's hard to believe he's the same bonehead who is the peace representative between humans and monsters” *he chuckled at the memory* "Yeah, he's come a long way. Who would have thought that the guy who couldn't even catch a human would end up representing monsters and humans?" *he shook his head in amusement. Papyrus had definitely grown…..so so much *
