WELL, I MEAN IT'D BE A LITTLE BIT WEIRD, SEEING PICTURES OF MYSELF DOING THINGS THAT I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO RECOLLECTION ABOUT...BUT I STILL REALLY WANT TO SEE WHAT I'VE DONE THE PAST COUPLE OF TIMES I'VE BEEN HERE!!! THE NETWORK CAN ONLY TELL ME SO MUCH...
[He takes in a deep, shaky breath. This is getting him all emotional too, but thankfully in a good way.]
WELL, TO THAT I SAY, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, BROTHER!!! I KEEP ON SAYING THAT I CAN'T TELL WHETHER OR NOT I LIKE WONDERLAND MORE THAN THE UNDERGROUND, AND...WELL, THIS TAKES THE CAKE!!! I DON'T WANT TO LEAVE WONDERLAND!!! IT'S MUCH BETTER HERE, DESPITE EVERYTHING.
[It means that he truly gets a second chance and he gets to see his old friends again and make new ones and regain a sense of familiarity...but it also means seeing his brother start to put in more and more effort into things and slowly working to improve himself. Even if it was only that, that would be enough.]
[Sans hugs him even tighter, burying his face against Papyrus's middle. God, he's so glad Papyrus is here. He's so thankful for this. It's been so damn long since they had a proper holiday together.]
[Papyrus hugs him even tighter in response, leaning a little bit more into the embrace.]
I LOVE YOU TOO, BROTHER.
[He knew that the gift would be a hit (because what gift of Papyrus's wouldn't be a hit?), but to see Sans this moved by his present...he really did hit the nail on the head this time. At least now, Papyrus can take comfort in the fact that if he ever leaves, Sans won't truly be alone.]

[It's okay if it's a little weird. It's still Papyrus. He'll always be Papyrus.]
[He practically lights up at that declaration.]
i--i hope we can both stay here, bro. if not forever, then...then a good long while.

[He leans his head down so that his forehead is touching the top of his brother's skull.]
AND, AND…I WANT US TO STAY HERE FOREVER TOO. I CAN’T EVEN IMAGINE GOING BACK TO THE UNDERGROUND NOW!!
[Nor does he particularly want to, honestly.]
