[As soon as he hears the knocking, Papyrus, donned in his new cool battle body, opens the door. He can hardly contain his excitement as soon as he sees his brother!]
SANS!!!! I LOVE MY NEW BATTLE BODY, IT'S SO COOL!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!
[Papyrus returns the embrace with enthusiasm, hugging him back as tightly as possible.]
NYEH HEH!! YOU'RE WELCOME!! I JUST FIGURED...I REALLY THOUGHT A LOT ABOUT WHAT YOU SAID, ABOUT ME KEEPING ON LEAVING WONDERLAND, AND...AND I JUST DON'T WANT YOU TO FEEL SAD IF I EVER LEAVE AGAIN.
AND THIS BATTLE BODY...IT DIDN'T REALLY FEEL LIKE IT BEFORE, BUT NOW IT FINALLY FEELS LIKE I HAVE A SECOND CHANCE...THANK YOU...
[He holds on even tighter, burying his face against Papyrus's middle.]
it means...a lot to me, bro. i never really...i have pictures but it's never the same.
[It never is the same.]
yeah? i-i'm glad. i wasn't...it's been so long since we made the first one, at least for me, so i had to guess at the size, and...i'm just--real happy it turned out good.
I BET...I DON'T THINK IT'S SURPRISING AT ALL THAT YOU HAVE PICTURES OF ME WHEN I WAS HERE THE PAST COUPLE OF TIMES!!! ACTUALLY, I'D LIKE TO SEE THOSE SOMETIME...
[Papyrus has only really gotten a glimpse as to what they did the previous times he was in Wonderland through finding the old network posts he's made the previous few times. They certainly did tell a story, but not the whole thing, so to speak. He can't help but wonder, what other sort of trials did he go through during his previous times in Wonderland?]
IT FITS LIKE A GLOVE!!! I REALLY LIKE THE METAL PART OF THE BATTLE BODY TOO, THAT'S NEW!!! IT DEFINITELY MAKES ME FEEL A LITTLE...SAFER.
[We'll see if anyone can try to pierce through the Great Papyrus's body with a trident now!! At least they'll have a much harder time doing that!]
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.]

heh. [He's so happy, but he feels like he's going to tear up at any moment.] that's...that's what i was going for, bro.
[So Papyrus could feel safer, more at home, like things are...normal.]

Date: 2018-01-07 12:50 am (UTC)[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.
