noelle

Noelle Holiday returned home from school and checked her discord, frowning when she saw the amount of messages Sans had sent her. She always felt anxious when there were a lot of missed DMs from one of her friends. She sighed in relief when she discovered that most of the messages were just from Sans spreading sentences across multiple texts. They liked to do that for some reason, especially when excited over something.

Noelle was also relieved to see that Sans was excited about something. They didn’t really talk to her at school, opting to spend lunch on their computer and rush home as soon as possible. But today they had seemed sad about something. They were always sad, Noelle rolled her eyes at herself, but they were sadder than usual. She had been worried about them.

Her worry seemed to be unnecessary though. Sans was just upset over a show they liked going on hiatus for an unkown period of time. Typical. At least it didn’t have anything to do with their lost brother. 

Noelle sent a gif of a jar of mayonaise on an escalator and a message reading “there’s other things you can get invested in” , smiling when they replied with an annoyed emoji. 

"What??? Why???" 

"cant tell ya" 

Noelle stared at the screen for a minute trying to think of anything that could have happened that would need to be kept a secret. She knew Gaster was into science, but he usually never kept up with a project for that long… Maybe Sans had learned something new and was going to act on it? And Gaster was mentioned as a red herring? But why would Sans lie to her? she had thought she was trustworthy…. it could be completely unrelated to that though. Maybe they just got a dog or something and it bit people… 

"Alright, can you at least tell me if it's a good something or a bad something???" 

"uhm… idk" 

"SANS." 

"not bad tho, dw bout it" 

Cool…. 

“So whatcha doing?” She sent.

They replied, “nothing”

“Wanna play Minecrap?”

“no”

“Have you found anything new?”

“no”

“Anything cool happened?”

“can’t tell ya bout it”

“Why not?”

“wings doesn’t want me to, says it’s important to keep secret, srry”

“Okay… wanna hop on a call?”

“no”

“Okk, I’m going to see what MK wanted then, bye.”

“cya”

Noelle frowned at her computer screen, then checked what MK had sent. They were just talking about some sports event that she wasn’t interested in. Noelle did smile at some of the un-intentional stuff that had gotten sent, thanks to MK using the voice-to-text feature. Their mom had apparently interupted them.

Noelle exited out of discord and closed her computer. Maybe she should see about talking to Sans at school tomorrow.
