Chapter Text
Things had been hard on you financially for a while now. In your desperation to keep the flat you had been living in for 5 years, you'd picked up jobs all over the place. Mostly odds n ends and cash-under-the-table gigs. You never got much for your efforts, but hey, it was better than starving.
It was on the day after you got home from a job packing biscuits in a local factory that you decided you needed something more stable. Something that wouldn't leave you exhausted at the end of the day. Bills were piling up on the bureau next to your front door, and your bank accounts were, once more, creeping into the negatives.
With a sigh, you flopped back onto your single bed. Your nice Queen bed you had already sold to pay your way. It wasn't fair.
"But what can I do?" You mused out loud. Something you found yourself doing a lot. The other downside to being so busy earning peanuts is that your social life had suffered greatly. A lot of the people you once talked to daily barely ever spoke a word to you now. You probably needed better friends, but it hurt all the same.
Grabbing a newspaper you had brought in a day prior, you flipped to the 'help wanted' section. Maybe there might be something. Anything.
Nothing.
You let out a strangled sigh, letting the papers fall over your face. It was hopeless.
"Ugh, I guess I could get back into babysitting."
You flicked through the want section again. There was nothing for babysitting, but a thought came to you. Maybe you should spend a few dollars and put an ad in the paper yourself. You may only get the odd job or two, but caring for kids was a right side more enjoyable than stacking shelves. Less physically draining, as well.
That was that, tomorrow you'd call in and put an ad up. You had a good gut feeling about it, so why not just try.
***
It had been a week since your ad had 'gone live'. You had paid for 2 weeks of space, and so far nothing had come of it. You checked your email maybe too many times a day, just hoping for something to pop up. All you ever had was spam.
Getting home after a particularly trying day, you decided to take a shower and get an early night. You hurt almost everywhere after a coworker had almost run over you with a forklift. Although, It could have been worse, and your 'boss' didn't even wanna send you to a doctor to get checked out. You technically weren't on the books so that was just him covering his own ass. Dickhead. At least the guy who was driving the forklift made sure you were okay.
Dinner was cheap ramen, and dessert was a handfull of Cherios that were in the bottom of the box. Not enough for breakfast but too much to let go to waste. How did it get this bad?
Maybe something would come up tomorrow. You had a rare day off, and planned to spend as much of it as possible in bed. Your body would thank you for it. Heading to your bedroom, you got changed into pajamas and laid down under the thin sheets,
As tired as you were at that moment, sleep came easily. It was restful, albeit dreamless for once.
***
You were roused out of sleep by your phone ringing. It was probably the afternoon already, but you still cursed the caller for waking you up so early. Picking it up from your bedside and putting it to your ear, you tried to sound awake.
"Uh, hello?"
"hey, just callin' 'bout an ad in the paper for nanny work?"
You jumped up out of bed, almost slipping on the clothes littering your floor. "Hi, yes! How can I help you?"
"name's papyrus, and i'm gonna be leaving for a month or so on business. gonna need someone to watch my brother for that time. it'll be an in-house thing. you up for it?"
YES. "That sounds fine. If I can grab an email I can send you any paperwork you'd like to see?"
"nah, you can bring it and meet me in person. i'll be in the city round 4. wanna meet up and grab a bite while we discuss details?"
Your heart was pounding.
"Of course! I can be in the city then. Is there anywhere in particular you'd like to meet up, Papyrus?"
Shuffling could be heard on the other end. "Muffet's."
"Great! I will see you at Muffet's at 4pm. It was nice talking to you."
"same. bye."
He hung up, and you jumped around your room in joy. This could be your big break. A whole month of doing nothing but looking after a single kid. Easy! Checking your phone, you realised it was already 2:30. If you were ready by 3 you would have more than enough time to get to the city. Yes, things were finally looking up.
***
You had been ready and out the door quicker than you ever had been before, a folder of references and certifications sitting against your hip. The bus was just pulling up at your stop as you left your apartment block, the driver being kind enough to wait for you to jog over. The only thing you needed to do now was find Muffet's. There wasn't much online, but you managed to find an address, and after a quick check with Google maps you had a rough idea of where you were going. It turned out that Muffet's was a monster owned business. There were more and more of them popping up around the city of Ebbot, and it made you so happy. When Monsters had first come to the surface, lead by their savior, a young child named Chara, the reception was less than stellar. People could be so cruel, just because of the way someone looks.
Things were getting better. Their Queen was making great strides in unifying Humans and Monsters. It was less of a shock now to see them walking down the street. Families having picnic lunches at parks, taxis and buses being driven by hooded characters who laughed and spoke in riddles. Your driver had just finished telling a sheepish young man "Ha ha ha. Eat a mushroom everyday. Why? Then I know you're listening to me.." as he got off. You couldn't help but giggle as he nodded, then made a bolt for the curb. People were still getting used to Monster eccentricities.
You hazard a guess that if you were meeting in Muffet's, you might just be meeting with a monster. The idea thrilled you. That would be so cool. Helping out and showing a monster child that there are still good humans in the world.
"Ha ha ha. I heard spiders have a favorite food. It's spiders."
"That makes sense. Thank you." You said with a smile as you finally hopped off. You always tried to be as polite as you could, even if you had no idea what they were talking about.
After a brisk walk, you finally came across the little bar slash bakery. It was small - and very pink - but inviting. The bell above the door alerted the other patrons of your arrival, a few very large and very armored Cats turning at the noise, more interested in the bell than you. It was pretty cute.
You made your way up to the bar, taking a seat and placing the folder on the counter in front of you. When you looked up, you came face to face with eyes. Lots of eyes.
"Hello, there. What can I get for you, dearie?"
"Uuh-uh. Could I get a.. Spider donut and a small chocolate shake? Thank you."
She smiled, exposing sharp fangs. "Coming right up."
While she was preparing your order, you started to look through the papers you had brought with you. References from past 'employers' and certificates saying you knew the theory behind taking care of children. It was all fairly boring stuff.
You turned at the sound of your name being called out, and you couldn't help but silently gasp. Before you stood a skeleton. A very tall skeleton, wearing an orange hoodie and wrinkled khakis, socks peeking out over the top of his red High-tops. He nodded, taking the seat next to you and reaching out with a bony hand. You shook it gently, not knowing if putting too much pressure would shatter the delicate bones.
"heh, you can shake harder than that. not gonna break me."
"S-sorry. Uh, so, you must be Papyrus?"
He made a motion to get the Spider woman's attention, and she nodded, beginning to prepare what you could only assume was a regular order for him.
"yep. this all the paperwork you got for me?"
"Yes, it's all of my past references and things like first aid and courses I've done in childcare."
He picked up a few of the references, reading with one brow arched up.
As he was skimming through, food and drinks were placed before you. It all looked and smelled delicious.
"Wow, this looks so good!"
The Spider woman smiled as she wiped out a glass. "Thank you, dearie, now eat up."
The food tasted even better than it looked. You could say without a doubt it was the best donut you had ever eaten. Papyrus picked at the muffin in front of him, not taking his eyes off the papers as he read, occasionally taking a swig from what looked like a bottle of honey.
"I had no idea this place existed, thank you for wanting to meet here."
He shrugged. "muffet is mistress of baked goods. never had anything that's even come close to her cooking. you have a spider on you."
Looking down at your arm, a small spider was staring back up at you. Without thinking you yelled, waving your arm and jumping up from the seat. In the panic, the spider jumped up onto the bar, giggling.
Muffet came over at shot it a disappointed look. "I told you not to do that to humans. They don't like having spiders on them. You're gonna chase away customers!"
The tiny spider looked guilty, before running down behind the bar.
"I apologise, he's a troublemaker. I do hope he didn't frighten you too badly."
You sat back down at the bar, mortified by your own behavior. Papyrus hadn't even blinked an eye at the whole ordeal.
Eyesocket?
"I'm sorry if I offended you, it's just that the spiders we have are nothing like monster ones."
"He knows that, s'why he was messing with you." She hummed, shooting dirty looks down behind the bar. "He wont do it again."
She went back to serving customers, as your attention went back to Papyrus. He had read almost everything.
"so you know how to look after kids. you seem nice. everything seems to be in order. wanna talk money?"
You were a little off-put by how direct he was. "Uh, how about we talk about how long I'd be looking after your brother. You mentioned it would be in your own home?"
"yep. he doesn't do well in strange places with people he doesn't know very well. will be less stressful this way. i guess it will be from the 1st of the month to the 31st. we have a spare room you can stay in and the house has pretty much everything you'll need. might have to cook for him, do his laundry, keep him entertained, read him bedtime stories. all that fun stuff."
You couldn't help but smile. This guy must really love his baby brother. "Does he have favoured books, or should I bring some more along with me?"
"you have a choice of two." The bone around his teeth lifted in what you could best describe as a smirk. "advanced puzzle building, or adventures of fuzzy kitty. that's your lot."
"Advanced.. Puzzle Building?"
"yep."
You shrugged. You'd read stranger things to kids before, one being the line up in a TV guide. He must just enjoy his brother reading to him.
Papyrus started eating the muffin he'd been picking at. "so, you wanna talk money now?"
"I guess so."
"well, i was thinking $200 a day. we'll cover all the household costs and stuff for him. outings are covered. pretty much everything will be covered, the $200 will be purely yours. what'ya say?"
You were completely floored. That would be more than enough to cover your bills and rent, even after the month was up. "A-are you sure?"
"yep"
"Well, I'm.. I'm okay with that."
He chuckled, holding out his hand once again. You shook it more firmly this time.
"then congrats, kiddo. you start next week."
***
The week had passed by quickly, as you put in your letters of resignation to the various places you worked at. Some were more than happy to have you back after the month was up, others you had to hold back telling them to fuck off and burn in hell. One you actually did, before being 'escorted' of the premises by the equally overworked and underpaid security.
"Y'know how long I've wanted to tell him that? You are my hero, lady!"
The rest of your time was spent packing and tying up any loose ends when it came to your landlord and utility providers. The former was fairly understanding, it was by his good graces that you were still in the place you were in after all this time.
As you zipped up your final suitcase, you took a look around the tiny flat. Most of your belongings, the ones you weren't taking with you, had been put into storage. There was going to be a short time leaser in there while you were gone, but you agreed to still pay 25% of your rent in order to keep a hold of the place. It was fine by you. It meant someone else could enjoy the views of the morning sun out the patio window while you were gone.
You had run into your landlord on your way out to the Taxi.
"Have a great time. Don't work too hard. I know how challenging taking care of little ones can be. I have 5 of the blighters!"
You hitched your handbag up onto your shoulder, smiling warmly. "Oh, I do not envy you Greg. I hope the people in my place are good tennants for you."
He waved you off with a friendly hand, as you left for the Brothers house. You were nervous, of course. You always were before meeting new charges. Would they like you? Would they be happy and active, or shy and reserved. You could deal with it all, but finding and learning the ropes was always going to be awkward for you.
On the way, you gave Papyrus a quick call, as he had asked you to do before you got there. You could hear excited warbling on the other end, as the tall skeleton sighed anxiously into the mouthpiece.
"on ya way?"
"Yep! I have all of my stuff. I can't wait to meet Sans."
"oh, uh, thought you should know something. my bad, it kinda slipped my mind, but, uh.. i'm the younger brother."
You didn't quite register that. "Wait, younger?"
Papyrus let out a breathy laugh, "yep. sans is older than i am. considerably. he, uh." He lowered his voice. "he's autistic. hope you're okay with that. kinda big thing to throw at you in the final minutes, i know."
Oh god. Your eyes went wide. You had looked after Autistic kids before, but never an adult. You had no experience with this kind of thing. Being on the spectrum yourself, you knew roughly what it could entail.
"Oh, uh, no that's fine! A-are you sure you just want a babysitter? Not a carer or something?"
"nah, he'd be shitty with me if i did anything like that. he's fine, he just.. needs someone to keep an eye on him, is all."
Now the choice of books made sense to you. "I can do that. I'm about 15 minutes away. I guess I'll see you in a bit."
The skeleton let out a rough sigh of relief. "k. seeya."
You hung up, letting your phone fall into your lap.
Crap. You had roughly planned out a bunch of ideas for entertainment and such, but now you weren't sure if they would be too juvenile. You hadn't known how old Sans was, so you planned for the ballpark of 5 to 10 years old. Papyrus had to be at least in his 20's.
"Ha ha ha. The roads are calm today. That's good luck..."
Your head snapped up at the voice. "I sure hope so.."
***
The house was huge! Two stories loomed up above you. It had a balcony and everything.
"Wow, nice digs." You hummed to yourself as you handed the Taxiperson a wad of money, thanked him, and set off towards the front door.
Christmas lights hung up around one half of the patio, throwing colours over the rough wood door. The whole place was clad in rich golden timber. It just oozed warmth.
You breathed in to steady yourself, you nerves worse after learning that Sans was an adult. How would he react to you being there? Would it make him uncomfortable? You remembered back to the excited talking you heard in the background of your call with Papyrus. At least, it sounded excited? He could have been upset or angry, you didn't know what to think. Lost in your own worried thoughts, you failed to notice the front door swing open.
"hey kiddo, come on in."
You head flicked up to the tall Skeletons face. He wore a semi-amused expression, motioning for you to go inside.
"H-hey Papyrus. Sorry, I was a little zoned out. How are you?"
He took a packet of cigarettes out of his hoodie pocket and put one between his teeth. "eh, can't complain. you okay?" His expression changed to one of concern. "look if this isn't okay with you i can pay you for your troubles and work out something else."
"No! No, please, everything is fine, Papyrus." You smiled. "I was just thinking of things to do. I kinda planned for a little kid."
His smirk returned. "oh, that's okay. he already has a list of shit to do a mile long. he's really excited to meet you. all he's been talking about for the past week."
"Really? Well, I'm glad he's okay with me being here."
"more than okay. trust me. oh, speak of the devil."
You followed his line of sight up the stairs. There stood another skeleton. He was much shorter, and somehow pudgier looking than his brother, wearing what looked like armor across his shoulders. A blue, tattered scarf hung around his neck. His eyes trailed down to where you and Papyrus were stood. As if he had just seen something amazing, his sockets burst into bright blue rings and stars, his huge grin growing wider by the second.
"YOU'RE HERE!"
Before you could blink he was down the stairs, grabbing you into a powerful hug. He uttered out a quiet 'Mweh heh heh' as he pulled you closer. His eyes were just level with your chest, and you realised in horror he had wedged his face in between your boobs. Panic stricken, you looked over to Papyrus, ready to apologise. He just looked amused.
"hey, bro, you're gonna break her before you even get to know her."
Sans pulled back, completely oblivious to your sudden discomfort. His eyes were still glowing bright, his smile even bigger. You weren't sure how the brothers could do that with their faces. You had to remind yourself that they weren't human skeletons, but Monsters that looked like skeletons.
"GREETINGS! I AM THE GREAT AND MAGNIFICENT SANS!" He struck a pose, the tatters of his scarf floating out behind him. "I KNOW IT IS VERY OVERWHELMING TO BE IN MY PRESENCE, BUT FEAR NOT! I'M SURE YOU AND I WILL BE GREAT FRIENDS!"
He was freaking adorable, and for a moment you forgot he was the older brother, if not for his much deeper voice. Your cheeks blushed in awe of how sweet and optimistic he seemed.
"i think she likes you, bro."
Your gaze snapped up to Papyrus, his brow bone raised. It only made you blush more. "Uh, he's just so adorable."
"Y-YOU THINK I'M ADORABLE?"
You looked back at Sans, the lights in his eyes were still bright, his smile replaced with a shocked expression. Before you knew what was happening, he was once again hugging you, his face back between your boobs.
"MYEH HEH! YOU ARE ALSO ADORABLE!"
"I-I mean, thank you. uh.."
Papyrus broke the silence. "hey bro, why don't you go started on dinner while she and I talk boring work stuff."
Sans was off before Papyrus had even finished talking. The taller turning to you with a serious look on his face.
'hey, sorry bout that. he gets excited and doesn't think about what he's doing. uh, he may look cute and little, but he's a grown man. so, uh, don't ever be backwards about telling him to back off if he crosses any lines. you get me?"
You coughed nervously, Papyrus' grin returning.
"he was probably so excited about meeting you he didn't realise he was all up in your tits. heh, but seriously you can tell him to bugger off he he gets handsy. told him it's not good form to start huggin' up on women like that, but sometimes he forgets. just remember, he's not as oblivious as he seems. not as innocent either. c'mon, lets go see how dinner is comin' along."
He led you into their kitchen. Sans was standing at the stove, stirring what looked like mince meat. He seemed much more grown up with the focused expression he was wearing, and you felt a bit silly for calling him 'adorable'.
'hey bro, the usual?"
Sans perked up, looking over to where you and Papyrus had sat down at the table.
"YOU BET! I HOPE YOU LIKE TACOS!"
Your mouth was already staring to water. The smell of the meat cooking was heavenly. "Ooh, yes please. I love Tacos!"
His eyes flashed blue again, as he went back to his cooking with renewed vigor. You spotted some taco chells sitting off to the side of you.
"you still wanna drive me to the airport tomorrow, bro?" Papyrus rolled the cigarette along his teeth as he spoke. You guessed they didn't need to actually open their mouths to talk.
"OF COURSE, PAPY.. MAYBE YOU AND I CAN GO OUT AND DO SOMETHING FUN AFTERWARDS?" It was a question directed at you, but it took you a second to realise.
"Oh, uh, sure. Have anything in mind, Sans?"
"OOH! WE CAN GO DOWN TO THE PARK AND FEED THE DUCKS. BUT NOT THE GEESE. THEY'RE ASSHOLES."
You couldn't hold back your laughter. You really didn't expect him to swear, and you had to remind yourself again that he was an adult. Hell, he was probably older than you. You had yet to ask.
"I'm sorry, Sans. Yeah, they can be a right pain in the butt."
"figuratively and literally, ey bro."
Sans rubbed at his backside, wincing slightly. "I JUST WANTED TO FEED IT AND LOOK AT IT'S CUTE LITTLE BABIES AND IT ATTACKED ME! THE MAGNIFICENT SANS WOULD NEVER HURT SUCH WONDERFUL CREATURES."
"Believe me, it was nothing personal." You chuckled. "Geese and Ganders can be incredibly territorial and protective of their young. It was just doing what it thought would protect it's babies. Even though they were in no danger."
Sans lit up at your explanation. "OH! THAT DOES MAKE SENSE. IT DIDN'T HAVE TO BITE SO HARD, THOUGH."
"almost tore a hole right through your pants. good times. good times."
Sans came over and grabbed the taco shells, giving you a smile as he reached over. You noticed he had a slight gap in his front teeth, and sharp looking canines hidden partially behind malleable bone. His brow was pulled up, looking at you with those same stars in his bright blue eyelights. He was almost.. Handsome.
No, you couldn't be thinking that. This was your charge. SO not appropriate. You mentally berated yourself as you smiled back.
"YOU HAVE A VERY PRETTY SMILE."
Oh god.
"heh, careful bro, she might wanna jump your bones soon."
OH GOD.
Even Sans looked shocked.
"PAPYRUS, THAT WAS LEWD! YOU'RE MAKING HER UNCOMFORTABLE!"
'hey, was just kidding. no harm.. but you're right bro, sorry kiddo."
You hid behind your hands, mumbling that you accepted his apology. It was kinda funny.
You all sat in mildly companionable silence as Sans finished off dinner. When it was ready, he brought the plates over to the table with a flourish.
"HERE WE ARE! I HOPE YOU LIKE THEM!"
You were so hungry, not having eaten since the night before, and that was just the remains of a box rice crackers. You slowly picked up one of the tacos, Sans watching you expectantly, and took a bite.
Amazing was too weak of a word to cover it.
"Oh. My. God! Sans, these are sooooo good!"
You didn't realise the noises you were making caused a blush to form on the smaller skeletons cheekbones.
"G-GLAD YOU APPROVE. I AM A GREAT COOK AFTER ALL, MWEH HEH HEH!"
"pretty good, bro."
You all sat and ate in relative silence, bar a few full-mouthed 'mweh's from your charge. You ate way more than you should of, the top of your pants cutting into you more than usual, but you felt good with a full stomach for once.
After dinner you all withdrew to the lounge to watch some TV. Papyrus took a seat on a recliner, while Sans jumped up onto the two-seater couch with you. He had cuddled himself up to your side as you watched some program staring a DJ-ing robot and his ghost co-host. Papyrus seemed pretty engrossed.
"DO YOU LIKE NAPSTABLOOK?"
You had been listening to some of the songs, and they had you bopping. "Yeah, I really liked the last one he just played."
"MWEH HEH! THAT'S MY FAVOURITE ONE!" His eyelights flashed stars as he looked up at you, his arms gripped around yours. "YOU HAVE VERY GOOD TASTE!"
You couldn't help smiling. "Thank you, Sans. Coming from you, that means a lot to me."
Was he.. Blushing? He seemed to go coy, glancing over at the TV, his arms still tangled around yours. You barely suppressed a yawn, which snapped his attention back to you.
"WE SHOULD SHOW YOU YOUR NEW ROOM! YOU SHOULD GET LOTS OF SLEEP, WE HAVE TO GET UP EARLY TOMORROW." He turned to look at Papyrus, who seemed to be half asleep already. "THAT GOES FOR YOU TOO, PAPY."
"yeah, yeah, yeah. i'll get up in a sec."
Sans got up from the couch, leaving your right side a bit colder. He walked over and pulled Papyrus up so he was standing. The taller skeleton didn't fight it at all.
"BED. NOW. I, THE GREAT SANS, WILL SHOW HER TO HER NEW ROOM."
Papyrus left, waving goodnight to the both of you, somehow turning off the TV as he left. Magic, you gathered.
"COME! I WILL GIVE YOU A TOUR OF SCENIC OUR HOUSE!"
You followed him around as he gave a very detailed tour of the place you would be living for the next month. You weren't sure how he had this much energy.
"AND THIS IS THE BATHROOM. WE DECIDED TO HAVE A TOILET PUT IN FOR HUMANS IF THEY VISIT."
You looked into the sizable bathroom. There was an ornate clawfoot tub and shower, as well as a tall sink, a stepladder sat next to it. The toilet definitely looked like it was an afterthought, but you were glad. You didn't even think about these kind of things. Monsters assimilated their food, you only learned that recently.
"WHEN WE DECIDED TO RECREATE OUR HOME FROM THE UNDERGROUND, WE DIDN'T TAKE THINGS LIKE TOILETS INTO ACCOUNT. LUCKILY WE HAD ENOUGH ROOM!"
After a glimpse into his and Papyrus' rooms, which he assured you he would cover in more detail at a later time, you were standing in front of your room.
"ARE YOU READY TO SEE THE MAGNIFICENT SANS' DECORATING PROWESS?"
He swung the door open. It was bigger than the room you had back home, and much more lavishly furnished. The bed was a Queen, with soft, dark blue quilts. The walls were adorned with posters, various Monster and human celebrities. The bedside had a glass and jug of water ready, and over on the dresser were a few action figures set up in what looked like a battle scene.
"I DECIDED TO GIVE YOU A FEW OF MY THINGS TO MAKE THE ROOM LOOK A BIT LESS BORING."
Your heart swelled as you looked around. "Wow! This is amazing! Thank you so much, Sans. You're too kind."
A nervous 'mweh' was all he could utter.
You wandered over and took a closer look at the figures. "Do you mind if I add a few of mine in, too? I only brought a few of my favourites."
It was like you had set a bomb off, as he jumped up to you, grinning like a loon. "YES! THEY CAN JOIN IN THE BATTLE SIMULATION! MWEH HEH HEH!"
You walked over to the bed, unzipping your suitcase. Pap must have brought it up while you were being given the tour. You pulled out a few colourful My Little Pony toys. Some from when you were little, some acquired fairly recently.
"I dunno if they're anywhere near as cool as yours, Sans."
His eyes shone bright, a huge smile plastered across his face. "THEY ARE JUST AS AWESOME AS MY BATTLE FIGURES!"
Papyrus walked in the doorway, knocking at the frame.
"hey, sans, want i should read you a bedtime story?"
"OH! I ALMOST FORGOT!"
Sans began to pull you along with him, but Papyrus put up a hand.
"maybe we should let her get some rest. she'll prob'ly need it with the amount of energy you have."
"YOU'RE RIGHT, PAPY!" He turned to you, taking both of your hands in his. "GOODNIGHT! SEE YOU BRIGHT AND EARLY!"
You were about to say goodnight, when he stood on the tips of his toes, reaching up and giving you a small kiss on the cheek. You stood there, your mouth hanging open slightly, as he skipped off past where Papyrus was standing. The taller shot you a look of mirth, before going to shut the door.
"night, kiddo. We're leaving about 7, just so ya know."
"G-goodnight."
He closed the door, and you were left standing in the middle of the room alone.
What.
The.
Crap.
You felt the spot where he'd kissed you. HOW did he kiss you. It felt like lips, but they didn't have any. Not any that you could see, anyway.
Confused, and a little warm, you decided to hit the hay. As you pulled the blankets up over yourself, with only your own thoughts for company, you stated to wonder.
What had you gotten yourself into..
