Frisk decided and nodded.

 

“Well it is cold outside-”

 

Almost immediately Sans pushed himself off the door and wrapped his arm around Frisk’s shuddering shoulders as he led her to the richly furnished living room.  This room was even more heated than the little entryway they were both standing in and a small childish delight overtook her mind for a second when she realized why.

 

His fireplace had a small fire going and the couch he led her to was facing the crackling fireplace.  Frisk couldn’t help but grin.  She had always lived in apartment buildings since she was just a kid.  She never seen a fire in a fireplace before in person and when Sans and her sat down, a pleasant warmth started to warm up her limbs that were still frozen to the bone.

 

Frisk let out sigh before she could stop herself and nearly slapped a hand over her mouth, looking at Sans, praying but knowing he heard it, but instead of commenting Sans scooted until there was some distance between the two of them (guess the guy’s finally learned about personal space too, Frisk thought) and leaned lazily on his side of the couch almost resting his entire upper body on the armrest as he looked over at Frisk with an easy smile.

 

“Yer neighbors were pretty upset and terrified ‘bout my…” he paused as he considered his wording.  Frisk frowned.  “Joke huh?”

 

Just twenty minutes, Frisk told herself before she forced herself to nod.  “You could say that.”

 

Sans chuckled, causing Frisk’s frown to deepen.   What was so funny about tormenting a bunch of poor frightened people?

 

“I honestly did not expect you to go all the way wit’ collecting every penny, but I suppose that’s why I like ya.  I love me a challenge, and baby and if you ain’t one I don’t know what is.”

 

Now Frisk really couldn’t help but feel satisfied and smug with herself.  She may not have gotten his look of disbelief but his shocking confessions were close enough...even if she didn’t expect him to be so...blunt about losing to her.  That seemed a little out of his character.

 

“You would be surprised what you can accomplish with enough determination,” Frisk couldn’t help but tell the skeleton.  It was something her mother always told her whenever Frisk began to doubt her abilities and it was something Frisk always heard echoing in her mind whenever those doubts began to rise.

 

Sans’ lazy smile got just a little tighter.  “Yeah I noticed yer a pretty determined lady.  I mean ya have to be determined when ya….rejected all my gifts and my date offers.  Never back down, never craved in. That’s…” he trailed off for a moment.  “That’s determination alright.”
