Hey all! Sorry for being late to this post; It was my birthday weekend and my wonderful partner took me on a surprise trip to a cabin on a beautiful island! Of course, reception was terrible! I'm here posting this as soon as I had returned home. I had a wonderful birthday, lots of BBQ my partner cooked up, hottubbing and smores over a fire! Ready to welcome Spooky Month feeling refreshed and so, so loved!!!
(I can't help but add that he also had gotten me a very valuable collector's item for a gift, solely because I'd mentioned at one point that the music meant a lot to me. I feel thoroughly spoiled!)

And before Frisk could quietly tell him she really wasn’t the person to discuss building maintenance with Sans’ smile got a little sly.  “Okay fine I have an alternative motive in this.  Ya weren’t too pleased wit’ them gifts and I can see why.  Kind of a tasteless tactic to use on ya when I’m sure yer just seeing me as the asshole who’s gonna hurt yer pals if he doesn’t git his money, am I right?”

 

Frisk blinked.   Okay.  Was not expecting a confession that blunt , she thought and took another look at Sans.  Even though his body was in a relaxed position, his sockets were solely on her watching her just as closely as she was watching him.   I guess he can evaluate and analyze his actions.  And the money...he seriously didn’t want it?

 

A small bit of joy entered Frisk’s body as her enraged disbelief cautiously began to melt away along with a tiny bit of the icy cold still clinging to her body.  At least her trembling was a little bit under control now.

 

If he’s telling the truth my neighbors will get their money back and I might be able to buy back my jewelry.

 

“ I wasn’t too smart with my first attempt to impress ya-”

 

“Second,” Frisk quickly corrected him quietly.  Sans’ smile kind of faltered.  “The first was in the bathroom,” she explained and to her surprise the skeleton actually blushed and looked away before he let out a more embarrassed chuckle.  

 

“Okay, twice I’ve been the asshole, but this time I think I’m gonna git it right,” he looked back at Frisk and now his smile seemed a little more pleading.  “Look I know fucked up wit’ ya, but I really like ya and yer rejections these last few weeks have been brutal, and yes I deserved it completely,” Sans quickly added. “But truth be told, they helped me see that I’ve been goin’ at this in the wrong way.”

 

Does he seriously think he can still woo me into being his , Frisk thought and maybe there was something in her face that portrayed that thought because Sans nodded.

 

“Yeah I know, but this time I ain’t lying or makin’ something up  to get ya,” he let out a small laugh.  “Let’s make a deal.  You’re still pretty cold, right baby?”

 

Frisk nodded.  She couldn’t lie about that.  She was cold and her body was still giving out tale-tell signs it was.  

 

“Well how about ya stay here for about twenty minutes to warm up and in that time we talk.  It can be ‘bout anything really and in that time if I hadn’t changed yer mind to give me a chance, I’ll admit defeat, apologize, leave ya alone and just be yer new landlord and hopefully yer friend in the future.  After all a guy can only take so many rejections until it drives him crazy.”

 

Another countdown?   Frisk thought.   This is about the most insane thing I’ve ever heard and the strange thing is, if this guy wasn’t a criminal and a complete lunatic, I might actually be flattered he is this interested in me.  

 

She looked down at the envelope full of money that he could have taken if he wanted to but didn’t do.   Twenty minutes of just talking to him?  And he’ll really leave me alone afterwards?  I guess I can do that ,
