Geno's POV

I slept peacefully in bed, dreaming something I can't quite remember. Everything felt peaceful. I was relaxed now. But then I hear a voice calling me.

"Sans! Sans! Wake up you lazybones!"I hear

Papyrus...? Oh right, I'm in a fantasyland where I get my life in my AU back with the pacifist ending of life. On the surface in a village between humans and monsters peacefully and the RESET button is destroyed. Instead of my save screen space and poor conditions being shaped there, my eye is broken from misusing a shortcut to go down Mt. Ebott, falling and getting wounded....It's all too good to be true...

I wake up and see Papyrus leaning over me.

"Heya, Paps. What's up?"I ask, sitting up

He crosses his arms and does his best to glare at me.

"Sans you lazybones! You didn't tell me you had a boyfriend! Why would you keep that from me?"He asks

What?! He knows about Reaper? How?

"What are you talking about?"I ask

"Nyeh? So you weren't hiding him from me? Someone is at the door claiming to be your boyfriend."He says, looking disappointed more than confused

"Umm...That's complicated to explain..."I say

His eyes spark with hope.

"So you do have a boyfriend? I was so excited when he said so! You could be happy with someone, Sans! Nyehehehe!"He says, picking me up and spinning happily

I smile at him.

"Even if I'm a lazybones?"I ask jokingly

"A terrific lazybones! You're my Sans-sational brother after all!"He says, setting me down

I chuckle at him using a pun to convince me. Then he gets a serious look.

"But if this boyfriend of yours tries anything to harm you, I, The Great Papyrus will capture him for some lessons."He says, clenching gloved fists to give me a hint

"Of course, Paps."I say

We go downstairs with him smiling and clapping eagerly. I open the door and see a very....different Reaper. At first I didn't recognize him.

He stood there with a pencil taped to the side of his head, wearing a hat and sunglasses as well. He wore a heavy coat, tuxedo and black boots with a briefcase slung over his shoulder like a messenger bag. He had a watch on his wrist and his eyes were grey. And no sign of his wings or the joyful, humorous or daringly affectionate guy that I love.

"Hello, Geno, I've missed you."He says

I shut the door on his face.

"What's wrong, Sans?"Paps asks

"That's not my boyfriend...It can't be Reaper...."I mutter

"Why not?"He asks

"My boyfriend had wings, a scythe and wore a cloak! He had a smile and his eyes were a bright white that glowed! And his voice was full of cheer or affection, not dull like that! He wasn't some business style, he was free and wild! And he doesn't even have the necklace we share on him!"I explain to him

I hold my necklace tightly by the chain.

"Well, he might've changed Sans. Maybe he wanted to be his best when coming here for the first time."He says

I tensed for a moment hearing that word. Best. That's all I've been hearing wherever I go here. This is the best! Isn't this perfect? Nothing could be better than this! Perfectly arranged in a world where everything is constantly at its best! Isn't this the best version of life that you wanted? Constant use of those phrases way too common to be coincedence...
