Sanel

Light stared at the tiny bundle in Sans’ arms. The little horned skeleton was wrapped in a violet blanket, her light blue eyes barely open. Light pursed her lips, looking up at Sans, uncertainty written all over her face.

“What... What if I drop her? Or hurt her, or...?”

“Light,” Sans interrupted seriously. “She’s barely awake. You are the kindest, sweetest, most gentle human I know. Nothing bad ’s gonna happen. Sanel needs to know that you’re part of the family too.”

With that said, he placed the baby skeleton in Light’s trembling arms. As Light held the tiny infant, she felt her anxiety slowly melt away. Sanel looked up at her and gave a small, innocent smile. Light’s eyes felt hot, and they were starting to sting.

“Ya see, Sun-Light?” Sans said smiling. “She already loves you.”

Light’s heart swelled to the point she thought it would burst. Hot, wet tears slipped down her face, and she couldn’t look away.

“He... Hehe...” Light smiled at the ‘Baby Bone’. “H-hey, Sanel. I’m Light. Your big sister.”

So... this is what it feels like. Light thought as she pulled Sanel closer. This feeling of warmth, joy, protectiveness. This is what it’s like to be a big sibling.
