Here we are, the first post for Staringback's Sooner or Later Oneshot, "Baby it's Cold Outside!" What if Frisk took Sans up on his challenge on doubling the protection fee??
Be warned, There are a few spoilers for those who may have only read the comic and not the full fanfiction. Nothing devastating, as the SoL comic is nearly at the end of its fourth chapter, and this Oneshot branches off from the end of that.

A harsh gust of icy wind whipped through Frisk’s already thin and worn out coat.  Trembling, Frisk pulled one of her freezing hands out of her pocket and wrapped the coat tighter around her body.   The zipper had broken years ago and being the not-expert on repairing clothing, Frisk usually kept her coat from opening by using a safety pin but somewhere between now and the last time she wore this ratty thing, the pin must have fallen off.

She wished it hadn’t.  She couldn’t find her gloves so her hand was taking quite a beating as soon as the cold air hit it almost instantly numbing the fingers.

It shouldn’t be too bad, Frisk assured herself with a harsh shudder.   I’ll just drop the cash off and take off for home before the sun goes down and it gets really cold.

She knew she shouldn’t be out here, but despite the cold that was chilling her to the bone or the fact that many of her friends had begged her to hold off another day until the temperature was no longer in the negatives to give Sans his “protection fee”, Frisk didn’t listen.   And even as she felt the beginnings of some nasty frostbite slowly and painfully chipping at her exposed hand and nose, she couldn’t keep the smile off her face.

For the first time in the two weeks since Sans and his brother Papyrus bought her area from Don Dee and made a permanent resident in the park and demanded the humans pay them double what they usually gave Nick, Frisk felt a sparkle of happiness throughout her body.  A very small sparkle but a sparkle nonetheless and Frisk eagerly basked in the feeling.

Truth be told Frisk knew she shouldn’t even feel a ounce of happiness or smugness since she didn’t have a clue on how she and her friends were gonna do it next month but this month they beat the massive skeleton.  She got his damn money alright just like she said she would after slapping the hell out of him two weeks ago in that horrible shed that was now the grand home the skeleton brothers lived in.  But it wasn’t easy.  Sans made sure of that.
