[Mettaton lets out a pleased hum. Sans's giggles are so rare, and yet here he is, having the privilege of hearing it so often. Must be doing something right. Sans presses a kiss to his shoulder and then Mettaton is the one letting out a giggle, pulling Sans closer and burying his face into his shoulder.]
You did just fine, darling. I don't think I've had that much fun in a long time.
[Sleeping with the aliens had been great, don't get him wrong, but there was something nice about experiencing a true interaction between souls.]
If I am honest... I never thought I would be able to. Do that, with our souls, with anyone. I didn't think it was in the cards, so to speak.
[He never thought he would ever get this far with anyone.]
I'm glad it happened. And I'm especially grateful that it happened with you. There's no one else I can even begin to imagine sharing myself on that level with.
[This is some good and proper cuddling right here. They must look like such lovesick dorks. Sans just can't bring himself to care. Let the whole world know how happy they are.]
hehe, i'm glad. and yeah, me neither. heh, obviously.
[Not since college at least. And the few times he's actually done it hadn't been all that fun. Another thing he's not gonna think about right now. All those old feelings of inadequacy and brokenness don't matter.]
[He beams at Mettaton as he talks.]
yeah, i...i didn't either. didn't think i'd ever be able to. the amount of trust involved. and i always kinda...thought maybe my soul just wouldn't be up for it.
[Having his soul handled for medical reasons, or having it magically connected...that was different than using his soul like--this. He'd always figured his soul wouldn't be strong enough.]
me neither, metta. i never thought i could trust or...love someone like i do you.
[Gosh, they sound like the sappiest couple in the entire world. How can Wonderland stand them? He doesn't know. But maybe sometime soon he'll go on the network and just. Announce to everyone that he's taken. He's sure that will break a few hearts. And he's definitely excited for that.]
See, it was the trust for me that also had me thinking that it could never happen. I almost never let anyone in.
[Hell, more often he pushes away entirely, like in the case of Alphys.]
But I guess I just couldn't stop caring and trusting you no matter what. Wonderland is funny like that.
[He continues to speak into Sans's shoulder, reaching for the blankets to pull it around them tighter.]
Mini is going to be so excited when they find out. I mean, not about these specific details, of course, but the fact that we're so close again. They've been practicing puns lately to impress you.
[Sans will freak out when it happens, though he'll probably also get used to it pretty quickly. He knows some people suspect already. Plus it's not like it's embarrassing. It just feels too personal to talk about, is all. He's a private guy.]
we both kinda...suck at it. heh, it's really a wonder we made it. dunno if wonderland pushed us together, or if it just kinda happened in spite of everything.
[Probably both. Wonderland is nothing if not contrary.]
[He makes another contented sound as the blankets drape around them, curling up a little.]
hehe, aww, that's great. i've missed talking to them.
[He shifts a little so he can sort of twine one arm around Mettaton's, reaching down until he can lace their fingers together.]

[He says it with such conviction- or at least, as much conviction he can muster in such a contented, lazy state.]
So am I, Sans. So am I.
[He holds onto Sans's hand tight, reveling in the warmth and love he can feel, both inside and out.]
