three: it all comes out – lol, that sounds dirty!

 

“you what?” To say he was bewildered was nowhere close to how he really looked. He was in utter disbelief and clearly there was chaos like never before in his skull.

 

“Ugh, I can’t do secrets.” I sighed. “Look. I’m not originally from this world. And this is a separate timeline from the one I originally made. Same story, same characters, except one. The one I took the place of.”

 

Actually, the Reader didn’t exist in this timeline. Soul finally spoke up, his form – or the black tail with the hand on the end of it – finally appearing now that the truth was out.

 

“Shit, really? Wait, what did that mean for him?” I pointed at Sans, who was looking like he was sick. So much for his god-like impression. I almost snorted.

 

Forever alone? Soul replied, shrugging his hand like a person would their shoulders.

 

“Dude. That’s cold.” I drawled with a scowl.

 

That’s why you’re here, dingus.

 

“Yeah, but you told me…”

 

I know I told you that you were replacing the Reader. But in this timeline, she doesn’t exist. It’s the only timeline she doesn’t. And in fact, all authors with Readers as main character pairings have one timeline of their story where they are meant to be inserted. They just don’t know that and don’t have the means. But if they did, they could.

 

“Shit. I had no idea!” I mused, leaning into my hand. It made sense. After all, a lot of Readers were the author inserting bits of their personalities. How about that. I was feeling grateful once again for being the one to make this particular AU.

 

“what is that?” Sans pointed as Soul.

 

“Oh, sorry. This is Soul. He’s my guardian. Also, kind a little brother. It’s a long story.”

 

“okay. so you made this world?” He was finally settling down. “how?”

 

“Right. Gotta explain it all over again.” I sat up and began. “Well, in my original world, you were part of a video game. Kind of like how Alphys loves anime. Well, imagine that anime exists in another dimension. That’s how you are to me and the other people from my world.”

 

“that’s how you know so much. wait!” He stiffened, clearly terrified. “do you know about…frisk? what they did?”

 

I sighed and looked down at my feet. “You mean the resets? Their genocide? What happened to Asriel and Chara?” I looked back up at his pained expression. “Yeah, I do.”

 

“i see.” He slumped.

 

“I’ve already been to another world, an alternate version of the original timeline. The original is called Undertale. This is a direct…descendant of Undertale. But it’s the Gaster Industries AU, a partial AU. The first time, I went to CounterTale, which was very different.”

 

I went on to describe everything I knew, as briefly but fully as I could. When I was done, Sans was more composed.

 

“this is a lot.” He sighed, rubbing his phalanges over his skull.

 

I chuckled nervously. “Yeah, I know. I can help you balancing your emotions. And show you everything I know.”

 

“will that hurt?” He grimaced.

 

I snorted. “Only if you want it to.” He glared at me. “No, it won’t. It will help ease you mentally and make it easier to understand and accept it.”

 

He narrowed his sockets further. “so you’ll manipulate me.”

 

I scoffed. “Hey, I only ever manipulate people if I’m trying to help them or teach them a lesson. The latter is for people I hate. What I want to do is ease you so that you don’t have to suffer from additional stress. Basically, I’ve been with a version of you before. This is all multiverse stuff, which you should know about.”

 

He relaxed but sweat had begun beading on the top of his skull. “i know about it, but to have a direct link to it is not something i have ever had.”

 

“That’s fine. I’m just going to show you a quick version and help you balance it properly. I’ve had a lot of time to figure it out. Plus…you’ll know a bit more about me, some of which you can use to tease me mercilessly later.” Ugh, yeah…I would do it.

 

“you’re okay with that?” Now he thinks I’m crazy. Well, if he does, he’s not wrong.

 

“Take it as a sign of good will. I know too much, so I’m trying to even the playing field. I shouldn’t have told you so much anyway. You weren’t ready. Maybe you shouldn’t have ever known, but now you will. And maybe you’ll be able to understand me more, too.”

 

“okay. let’s do this.”

 

He wasn’t ready, but he was trying to accept it. I could appreciate that as we were transported to an empty world that soon filled with memories. I could have taken several weeks or months to explain took several minutes. By the end, he had my life story and everything I had done since then, including what I learned. I had essentially Soul Bonded with him without the actual bond itself.

 

When it was over, and we returned to the little room, he regarded me with a lot of emotions, one after the other. There was sympathy, humor, worry, dread, anger, fury, sadness, amazement, and the list went on.

 

“you really have been through a lot. no wonder you feel so…attracted to me.” He was trying not to smirk, but the confidence was radiating off him. “thank you.”

 

My face had wrinkled as I grimaced. “Yeah, just don’t overdo it with the teasing. I can still get you back.”

 

He chuckled. “fair enough. wow…i’m amazed. your story…under the spotlight…that’s my life.”

 

“Yup, you’re a stud.” I drawled. “You’re welcome.”

 

He snorted, and finally erupted into full-blown laughter that landed him on the floor. “wow, just wow. i…ugh, i have nothing to say. ha, ha! wow, i really like you.”

 

“Aww, thanks. You’re too kind.” I teased back. He stuck out his tongue. My eyes widened. “Does your tongue and dick taste like blue raspberry-flavored lollypop or is that just wishful thinking?”

 

Sans sputtered, laughing even harder. “you’re so…you really have no shame?”

 

“Meh.” I shrugged. “Not really. Especially when dealing with dorks like ye on the floor over yonder.”

 

Sans’ fist smacked on the carpet and he continued to lose it. “stop! stop, please!”

 

 “Oh, but you look like you’re having so much fun! How does the floor smell by the way?”

 

He snickered, “not too bad. my cleaning crew does their job well.”

 

I grinned. “Oh, good. Maybe they should get a raise since the way I see it, with your face that low to the ground and not smelling any nasty fumes, they did good.”

 

He snorted long and loud. “shuddup!” He had moved around on the floor so much that he had flopped on his back with his head facing me, so he could see me upside down.

 

“Only if you say it nicely.” I cooed seductively. He turned bright blue and looked up at me. I bit my lip and pressed me arms closer so that my cleavage stood out, playing the role of the submissive young girl.

 

“that…should be illegal.” Ho shit, he got super serious.

 

“Oh?” I whispered softly, batting my eyes.

 

“stop.” I definitely saw a glow coming from his dark pants.

 

I grinned mischievously. “Do you need any help?”

 

He was gone. I whirled this way and that, trying to pinpoint his location with my power. But I didn’t have time as he reappeared behind me.

 

He looked livid.

 

“I’m sorry.”

 

“you’re very dangerous. i’ll have to be more careful.” He walked around he chair so he was in front of me, his hand against the top of it, caging me in as he leaned over me. “why don’t you stand up?” I obeyed, a little worried that he was angry at me. It didn’t help that he was over a head taller.

 

I began to walk toward the door, but he snatched me back, pulling a yelp from my throat, and immediately proceeded to press his mouth to mine. The feeling was electric and with my lack of mind and processing from the sheer surprise and euphoric feeling of his talented mouth and…oh, he definitely tasted like blue raspberry.

 

I moaned, pressing myself closer as I looped my arms around his neck and pulled him down closer. His arms had snaked around my waist, though while one pulled me up at him by cupping my ass and lifting me up, the other had found its ways to my neck so I couldn’t pull away.

 

After several long seconds of bliss and both of us trying so hard to feeling up more of the other, Sans forced me away. I whined, pouting up at him.

 

He chuckled. “sorry, but I can sense nate closing in. shall we go meet him?”

 

I sighed, and then grinned. “Sure, I guess he should meet the newest employee of Gaster Industries.”

 

Sans snickered. “exactly.”
