When One Gains the Courage

Rating: G 

Pairings: Bitty!Murder!Sans/Bitty!Toriel.

It was finally done, the room that Coffee and Dotchi had been working on was fully complete, missing Valentine’s Day by a few days, but mostly everyone shrugged and said better late than never as what was revealed was a room in the attic with the whole roof transformed into reformed glass, giving a look into the cosmos, and the Gaster Bitty Void helped implement a large telescope to be shifted so groups of bitties could lay under it and look up to further-reaching stars. 

Every Sans bitty was ecstatic at the implementation of the space-room, even Killer bitties were visiting it frequently, everyone of them entranced by the stars, Teeth Bitties and Toriels going with their friends and admiring them as well, the Sans bitty’s enthusiasm contagious as couples and groups flooded the place the first night, Dotchi and Coffee among them to look at their work while the sun was still just setting, even the little baby bitties being brought in by Zalman, Arach and Magnar. 

The core group was there as well, as Murder looked to Toriel. Having gotten encouragement from a few visitors during Valentine’s day he was finally pulling himself together as he watched her sitting beside Horror and Deme, Killer and Nightmare laying a little more ahead of them, laying on their backs and watching the stars together. 

Despite not needing to, Murder swallowed and stood, making his way to Toriel, the bitty looking to him and smiling to him as he approached, fishing the Valentines he had out of his jacket as discreetly as he could. 

“ hey tori...” 

“ Murder, sit with us!” She beamed, patting beside her in insistence as he slowly joined her side, “ I am so glad you decided to stop avoiding me, I was unsure what I did wrong or if Void chasing you was what was wrong, but I’m happy you are here.” 

Murder felt like a bit of a jerk for ignoring her, but then offered her his valentine, “ toriel, I got something for you...” 

She looked over it and gave a small bleat of laughter reading it, “ Heeheehee! ‘Words cannot Espresso How much you Mean to Me’ and there’s a cute little Espresso mug!” She cooed, “ It’s adorable Murder.”

He would have to thank the other Toriels he asked about these things with, sure he was as good with puns as every other Sans, but this was a little more heart-felt and expressive pun than he had dealt with before. 

“ heh, glad you like it tor-”

His eyelights winked out of his sockets as she leaned against him, her head on top of his, a bright red and blue blush appearing on his face, almost making him purple while she was blushing a bright red herself while she smiled. 

“ I hope you don’t mind that I like you a latte myself.” 

If steam was able to come off his skull it would, “ n-nah, I don’t mind.” 

“ Good.” She finally stopped leaning on him and pointed up as awed whispers and sounds of bitties nudging each other filled the room as the sun was fully gone and the stars started to wink into the sky before their very eyes.
