METTATON X GN! READER

❤︎ Summary ₊ ⊹ Alphys tries to play the matchmaker and sets up an almost blind date for you.

❤︎ Characters ₊ ⊹ Mettaton, Alphys and gender neutral reader.

❤︎ Warnings ₊ ⊹ None, just fluff.

❤︎ Notes ₊ ⊹ I was trying to finish chapter 7 but instead I made this oneshot. Why you may ask? Well, I was trying to make him even more toxic and I just couldn’t imagine a romance out of it. It would either end in a yandere type of story or a break up. So, I came up with this idea. I hope you like it!

❤︎ Word count ₊ ⊹ Less than 2k (5 minute read).

...

Dr. Alphys had been your friend for what felt like forever. You didn’t really remember how it all started. After all, you weren’t exactly a fan of the robotic stuff she was always raving about, nor her deep obsession with Mad Mew Mew. Yet, somehow, you found yourself never bored in her company. She had this unique way of making even the most technical research sound like an exciting adventure.

There was, however, one thing you didn’t like about her: the chronic lack of punctuality. She was never on time. Ever.

Today was no different. You had already been waiting for ten minutes in your usual café. Nothing too alarming compared to other days, but it still felt like it was getting a little ridiculous.

Hey, where are you? 16:30 ✓✓

Sorry... 16:31 ✓✓

You can get inside and ask for the usual. I’ll be there in five! 16:31 ✓✓

Five minutes? That was hopeful.

With a shrug, you pushed open the door to the cafe. Instantly, the warm scent of freshly brewed coffee greeted you, mixing with the subtle sweetness of pastries in the air. The café was one of those places that always felt like home. Its interior was cozy and inviting — wood-paneled walls, soft golden lighting, and an assortment of mismatched chairs and tables that gave the space a casual vibe.

In the back corner, there was a window that showcased an interior patio with flower boxes hanging from the walls, creating a soft cascade of colorful blooms. The sun filtered through the plants, casting delicate patterns on the stone floor, making it feel almost like you were on the surface.

A fish-like monster behind the counter greeted you, his scales glistening faintly under the cafe’s warm lighting. His bright eyes were a little wide with nervousness, and you realized this was probably his first day. You didn’t recognize him from past visits.

“What can I get for you?” he asked, his voice a bit unsure.

“I think this is the one...” you muttered, pointing to the strawberry milkshake you’d seen Alphys order countless times. It was simple but comforting: strawberry syrup, creamy milk, blended with vanilla ice cream and some whipped cream with rainbow sprinkles on top.

Once the drink was ready, you carried it to your usual spot near the window. You settled into the chair and watched the sunlight dance across the patio outside. There was something almost magical about it, the flowers swaying gently in the breeze.

You were so absorbed in the view that you didn’t even notice someone walking in until it was too late. Your heart skipped a beat as a tall, glamorous robot entered the café, his shiny chrome exterior gleaming under the lights. Of course, it was none other than Mettaton, the most famous star of the Underground. You froze as he glanced at you through his heart-shaped glasses. And then, with a smile that could light up the entire room, he made his way to your table.

What’s happening? Why is he coming over here? What could he possibly want from you?

“Hi, darling!” he greeted, his voice smooth as silk, before he smoothly took a seat across from you. “I’m Mettaton.”

“Yeah, I know!” you replied enthusiastically, your voice a little more nervous than you intended.

Of course I know who he is. And by the way everyone was looking at him on the cafe, they probably did too.

But what happened next was a bit... unexpected. He reached for the milkshake you had bought specifically for Alphys and took a long, loud sip. You stared, a bit stunned. Did he seriously just take your drink?

“Hey...” you said, a little taken aback. “That was for—”

Before you could finish your sentence, Mettaton leaned back with a contented sigh, his long fingers elegantly tapping the edge of the almost empty glass.

“Oh, darling, this is delicious! You have excellent taste! How did you know I would like this?”

You blinked, flabbergasted. “That was for Alphys,” you corrected, then glanced down at your phone. You had completely forgotten about the time. It had been well past five minutes. “But... never mind,” you muttered, taking a sip of your own drink as if everything was totally normal.

What even is normal anymore?

Mettaton, still happily sipping your drink, gave you a dazzling grin. “Ah, yes, Alphys,” he said, eyes twinkling. “She’s a good friend of mine. She’s told me all about you.”

“Really?” you asked, almost incredulously. You had no idea Alphys had ever mentioned you to the famous diva, nor that they knew each other.

He hummed, swirling the last bit of the milkshake in his glass. The slurping sound was almost too loud, and you felt a pang of awkwardness.

“Quite right!” he said, suddenly leaning forward, his voice lowering to a dramatic whisper. “She said you thought I was cute and would love to go on a date with me.”

You nearly choked on your drink. “What?” you sputtered. “What do you mean, Alphys said I liked you?”

Mettaton waved a hand dismissively, as if he were trying to play it cool. “Oh, darling, it's nothing to be embarrassed about. She showed me a picture of you, and I thought, well, why not make an exciting date out of it?” He gave you a little wink, his smile widening. “Though I would have chosen a more exciting place for our first date...”

You couldn’t help the heat rising to your cheeks. “Wait, wait... so you thought this was a date?” you asked, your voice cracking slightly.

“Of course,” he said, a flicker of irritation crossing his features. “Alphys told me you were thrilled about it!” He dramatically placed a hand over his chest as if he were deeply wounded.

A light chuckle escaped you. “But... wouldn’t we have talked about it, like, you know, texting or something?”

He looked at you with wide eyes, almost scandalized. “Texting? My dear, I’m far too important for such mundane things. I’m a busy man after all!” He paused, taking off his heart-shaped glasses and placing them on the table, his gaze now focused on you more seriously. “But I thought... well, Alphys told me you would love to go on a date with me.”

You stared at him, still trying to process what was happening. “She... she really said that?”

“Yes,” he glanced down at his nails, even though they were gloved, as if he was looking for some sign of a flaw or imperfection, though his posture still screamed confidence. “It’s not true then?” he asked, his voice dropping a notch.

“No, I... I mean, yes, sort of?” you stammered. “I never said anything about a date.” You winced, realizing how that sounded.

Mettaton’s expression shifted, a flicker of disappointment passing through his eyes. “Oh, darling,” he sighed, giving you a look of exaggerated frustration. “Are you rejecting... me?”

“No, no!” you blurted, quickly correcting yourself, your face burning. “I mean.... I think you’re amazing, Mettaton. I just didn’t expect this! But now that you mention it... a date with you could be... fun?” You laughed nervously, hoping your words would somehow make sense.

Mettaton’s expression shifted again, this time with an almost seductive glint in his eye. The disappointment was gone, replaced by a teasing, playful smile. He leaned in just a little closer, his eyes narrowing in amusement.

“Oh, darling,” he purred, his voice dripping with playful mischief. “Does that mean you find me... attractive?” He struck a dramatic pose, one hand on his hip, his other hand fluttering above his head as if he were a star on stage.

You froze for a second, taken aback by the sudden shift in energy. He was looking at you expectantly, his gaze intense but playful, clearly enjoying the effect he was having on you.

“Well... yeah, I guess...” you muttered, trying to play it cool.

Mettaton leaned in further, his voice low and teasing. “So, Alphys wasn’t completely making this up, was she?” He flashed you a smile, the kind that could melt anyone with a single look, but the way he asked it made it seem like he was almost daring you to say the right thing.

What have you gotten myself into, Alphys?

A date with Mettaton, the star of the Underground?

“Darling?” Mettaton raised an eyebrow, still grinning playfully. “Is it true?” His voice was a low, teasing lilt, and there was a glint in his eye that said he was savoring this moment—reveling in the power he now held after what felt like a brief rejection. He was clearly enjoying the chance to turn the tables and make sure you couldn’t escape his charm so easily.

You were about to respond when something caught your eye. Through the window, you saw a familiar figure standing just outside, peering nervously inside. You blinked, recognizing the small, scaly form and the large, round glasses immediately.

It was Alphys. She was standing on the patio, clearly trying to remain out of sight but failing miserably. She was hiding behind a potted plant, but you could see her peeking out from behind it, watching the scene unfold with a mixture of excitement and... guilt?

Mettaton, noticing you staring, followed your gaze and looked out the window. When he saw Alphys, his expression shifted from playful to one of surprise.

“Well, well, well...” Mettaton said with a dramatic chuckle, sitting back in his chair as he tapped his fingers against the table. “Looks like our dear Alphys had a little something to do with this, doesn’t it?”

You looked at Mettaton, then back at Alphys, who was now quickly ducking out of view, probably realizing she’d been caught. You couldn’t believe it. Alphys was spying on you this whole time?

Mettaton’s grin widened, and he laughed, clearly amused by the situation. “Oh, darling, this is even more exciting than I thought! I should’ve known Alphys was behind this little setup. She’s always been full of surprises.”

You sighed, rolling your eyes. “I can’t believe she told you I found you attractive and then... this!” you said, a little exasperated.

“Oh, don’t worry, darling,” Mettaton purred, leaning across the table, his voice soft but teasing. “It’s cute that she’s trying to play cupid. But now that we know her little secret... we could always continue this date on our own, couldn’t we?”

You gave Mettaton a sheepish grin, but there was a sense of relief now that you knew he wanted to continue the date.

“Yeah, I guess we could,” you said, still not entirely sure what was going to happen next, but oddly excited at the same time.

Mettaton stood up with a flourish, his voice regaining its dramatic flair. “Then it’s settled! Let’s make this a day to remember, darling. Alphys can watch from the sidelines.”

You laughed, standing up to follow him as he confidently led the way out of the cafe. As you left, you gave Alphys a quick glance, catching her peeking out from behind the potted plant, her face turning a shade of red that rivaled your own.

Hi, Bright! I know I haven't requested in a while but I wanted to revisit your amazing writing. I'm sick as hell at the moment and would love some romantic comfort from Jade, Malleus, and oddly enough Mettaton--

Thank you so much, my friend! Have an amazing day! *Off I go to die of a headache and possible fever- 😭

[TWST + UNDERTALE] Jade & Malleus & Mettaton x Sick! Reader (separate) Warnings: Fluff, Romantic comfort, Sick! reader, illness, vomiting, cursing, JADE LEECH A/N: HELLO!! I hope you do get better lovely! Make sure to rest, eat and drink properly and divider credits to @/murahaul I also think I half assed these tbh because I paused midway through having to head out before coming back to write these BUT I HOPE YOU LIKE THEM?! especially mettaton cause I haven't ever written for him but I loved his character in the game soo much

Summary: Romantic comfort from Jade, Malleus, and oddly enough Mettaton

- Jade would 100% smile at you entertained at how pathetic you look

- For Merpeople they don't get sick, unlike humans.

- However, they can be infected if they come across a sick land dweller and can spread it to other Merpeople but it would be gone like it never existed

- Since Jade was transformed into a human he would get sick every now and then but would have quite a great immune system after awhile but here he was hovering over your bed staring down at you

- Your body laid in bundle of blankets red faced and tired with sweat dripping from your temple staring up to your boyfriend who smiled down on you

- "My I can get Azul to-" "Jade... I will throttle you if you try to get me to sign a contract to get better" "It was only just a suggestion"

- Silence filled the room as the door closed leaving you to sigh thinking you were left alone before hearing the door open again with Jade holding up a drink and some medication

- The whole time Jade would tease you as he helped you sit up drink water and take care of you as you were sick

- Jade sighed as he cupped your face a unfamillar softness in his eyes as he spoke "You know-" "Jade I swear-" your hand reached out to cover your mouth gagging causing Jade to quickly get a bucket and place it near your bed patting your back as he winced at how you spewed your guts into the bucket.

- He tilted his head checking her forehead lips pursed “you're burning up.” he sighed before after giving you more water to drink pampering you

- He pushed you onto your back and made sure you were completely covered and comfortable

- As you laid in bed, your face staring at the ceiling muttering a small thank you, Jade smiled softly sitting by your side taking care of you with the softest of smiles his sharp teeth peeking out as he giggled at how you slapped his hand away once more when he went to squish your face

- Fae's have a strong immune system so getting sick was quite rare so with how he was hovering over you worrying over small coughs, or slight sniffle, has him looking at you with slight panic yet kept on trying to persuade to heal you yet he was always met with you bapping his face

- Malleus hummed as he was poking your cheek with his clawed nail for a couple seconds watching your face squish as you whined tiredly

- "Are you dying?" "No I'm sick" "Oh..."

- unfortunately the flu in twisted wonderland was something that you haven't adapted to so here you were laying in bed

- You felt so cold body shivering even under the blankets sweat clinging onto your skin yet at the same time your entire body was overheating

- Malleus paused as he stared down at your face before speaking "Child of man I can help you by-" "If you try to use magic on me Malleus I swear to fucking god that I will shake your shoulders aggressively" A small hum came from malleus waving off his partners threat

- After bothering silver to learn how to take care of sick people absolutely ignoring lilia is offering to make you soup so here was the dragon fae smiling at you

- Malleus regularly wakes you up between naps giving you an apologetic look handing you a soup that he was given by Silver for you as he sat with you playing with your hair smiling softly before flinching at how you nearly sneezed onto him as he vanished from his spot to the other side of you seeing how you sneezed at where he was

- Lightning hitting the background as he stared at you "*sniff* sorry" "How come your sneeze sent off my senses... Child of man how do you do that"

- He does everything in his path to keep your fever down

- He checks up on you constantly hand to check your temperature while pressing cold towers on your body and giving you water to drink handing you your medication as he caressed your hair slightly enjoying the fact of taking care of you..

- Mettaton would also be staring at you with a baffled expression the moment you did a dad sneeze face contourting into disgust. He's a robot with a soul he doesn't get sick but oh god...

- "Honey... Sorry I feel abit sick..." A cough came from your throat rolling on your side staring at your partner as he bent down and smiled lifting up your chin with his finger at your flushed and sweaty face "Awww your so cute-" You smiled lazily at him before Mettaton noticed how you sniffled mouth opening slightly before he darted to the other side of the room when he heard the loud noise of another sneeze

- The way his soul left his robot shell was crazy at the fact you nearly sneezed on HIM yeah he stepped back staring at you hands up before changing into his Initial form rolling away

- You couldn't help but sigh laying your head back onto your bed too cold yet too hot heaving tiredly before you fell asleep

- A sudden softness was placed on your forehead causing your body to twitch opening your eyes, your vision unblurred seeing a certain black haired male with pink streaks staring at you

- "You look beautiful" your voice croaky as he smirked posing "awww even when your sick you praise me I mean who wouldn't-" he froze before helping you sit up to drink some water when reminding himself of how you were the one that needed to be pampered

- He couldn't help but sigh "Human are so weak" he smiled pecking your cheek as you relaxed at the cold metal that touched your cheek before he pulled away

- Mettaton sighed dramatically checking your temperature with worry not knowing a wretched feeling came from your throat as you covered your mouth before reaching out with shaky heads to the bucket beside you which Mettaton had to help console you by rubbing your shoulders as he winced at the noises of things hitting the bucket

- Handing you a glass cup Mettaton sighed applying one more kiss on your cheek noting down that he'd still have to get the hang of a human partner

Regressuary 2025 Day 8

“Reader regresses for the first time after a long period of not regressing at all.” (feat. Mettaton EX)

This plot idea came to me immediately upon seeing the prompt, so I hope y’all enjoy it! I pulled some inspiration from one of @inkala’s works, and the nickname “lovie” comes from when I met Erika Henningsen last August! She was such an angel, oh my GOD! 🥹

🩷 Many thanks to @mcschnuggles for the prompts list! 🩷

Ship: Mettaton EX x GN!Reader

Word count: 308

Applicable Tags: Post-Undertale Pacifist Route, Impure Regression, Mental Exhaustion, Mental Health Issues, Hair Braiding, Pet Names, Chronic Pain, College Student Reader, Human Reader, Reader is Not Frisk, Regressor Reader, Carer Mettaton, POV Second Person

You pass through the entryway of your shared penthouse apartment, the doors slamming shut behind you. With a groan, you kick off your shoes and trudge over to the pink, plush couch. You bellyflop onto it, and your mind, which has had your stress amped up to eleven for the past month due to needing to finish your thesis, finally breaks away and puts you in a more vulnerable state.

As you hug one of the many plushies of Mettaton’s box form that lies around the house, the aforementioned robot enters the room. “Well, hello, beau-” Mettaton stops short as he sees you curled up like a cat on the couch, hands clenched around the marketable plush. He slowly walks over to the sofa, gently sitting on it and placing a hand on your back. “Is it one of those small times again, darling?” You nod, your head peeking out for a moment. “I understand. You’ve been so stressed lately and barely had a break.”

“Been hard,” you mumble. “Don’t have much time for care.” The anxiety had taken an effect on your skin and body, with pimples from stress sprouting on your face and your back aching from hours spent bent over your laptop.

“I can tell, lovie. Would you like me to help you feel pretty again?” You nod in response, and Mettaton takes a pillow from the couch and places it on his lap. “Come here, let me braid your hair.” You ease into his touch, allowing his gloved fingers to ease the tension in your scalp and partition your hair. The motions are repetitive and controlled, allowing you to relax more and reduce the worries inside your head. “I understand if you don’t want to talk, darling. Would you like me to share some good news instead?” You reply with a happy hum. “Good!”

Regressuary 2025 Day 6

“Reader and Mettaton EX play dress up.”

The dress Reader wears in this is identical to the one from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, which was also featured in this art of our favorite android by Lammemummy59! I didn’t specify a gender for the Reader, so as long as you’re comfortable with dresses and makeup, it’s good for anyone to read!

🩷 Many thanks to @mcschnuggles for the prompts list! 🩷

Ship: Mettaton EX x GN!Reader

Word count: 302

Applicable Tags: Post-Undertale Pacifist Route, Dress Up, Dresses, Makeup, Stimming, Pet Names, Regressor Reader, Carer Mettaton, POV Second Person

You sift through Mettaton’s walk-in closet, amazed at all the costumes and accessories he’s amassed over the years. “Is there something that catches your eye, beautiful?” The robot follows closely behind, able to reach the hangers above.

You notice a floor-length pink gown adorned with a giant bow on the back. Your eyes light up with excitement, and you push the other outfits to the side to show it to your carer. “This one!” You bounce on your heels and are excited to try it on.

“Oh, that’s a great choice! Something from the older collection, but it’ll look perfect on you!” Mettaton takes the dress down and holds it up to you. “Anything else to go with it, darling?”

You dash over to where Mettaton keeps his boas and point to a white one made of ostrich feathers. “This too!”

Mettaton chuckles and takes it down for you as well. “Is that all?” You nod, wrapping the boa around your neck. “Don’t get too excited. We have to do your makeup too!” Mettaton helps you change from your MTT Brand robe into the dress, zipping it up in the back before placing a makeup cape around your neck. “Now, what do you want today?” He presses a button on the makeup case, and it opens with a hiss.

You point at the pink eyeshadow palette and the mascara tucked in next to it. “Oh, that will look absolutely beautiful!” As the robot monster prepares his brushes, you kick your feet in the chair he took out for you. “Don’t move too much, dear. I don’t want to ruin your makeup or the dress.” You hum and still your legs, waiting patiently. “Are you ready, darling?”

“Mhm! Wanna look all pretty,” you chirp.

“Good!” Mettaton coos as he pats your head softly.

Movie Night! - Mettaton x GN! Reader

Warnings: This fanfic is so cozy it doesn't need warnings expect for a warning warning that there is no warning.

Characters: Mettaton, Papyrus, Sans, Undyne, Alphys and gender neutral reader.

A bit of context: You are living in the skeleton house and you are friends with Alphys and Undyne. You are also a human. That's it.

Words: More than 2k! (I'm a yapper)

...

"Are there swords in this movie?" Asked Undyne with enthusiasm about the CD Alphys was holding between her claws. If the answer was 'yes', then Undyne would not shut up throught the entire movie. If the answer was 'no', she would be asleep in no time.

"I haven't watched it, dear." The small doctor softly pulled her girlfriend's arm so she would sit with her on the purple futon Papyrus had left for them. You observed the couple's behavior up close. On the one hand, Undyne was fighting for space. On the other hand, Alphys wanted to be even closer to her.

"Hey, there is still space here." You pointed the green sofa you were sitting at with Sans. However, the girls decided that it was better to stay together.

"I can't wait to see it!" You told Sans trying to make it obvious that you were excited. Undyne and Alphys had found a movie in the garbage that seemed to be compatible with Papyrus' CD player. After all this time in the ruins, you missed human movies. You could not complain though, there was a popular celebrity among the monsters that filled your day with entertainment. His dances and all of the energy he put into the show made everyone go crazy. The reason you were so thrilled was not only the movie, but the tiny probability of Mettaton making his appeareance on this very same night! Alphys had invited him, but it was getting late.

"May I?" Undyne asked taking the movie from her girlfriend's hands.

"If there is anything interesting... wake me up." Said Sans opening his eye for one second before falling asleep again.

"Wait!" You stopped her from putting the CD inside the rusty player.

"What?" She sounded angry from the way she spit that word.

"The snacks are not ready yet!" With that excuse you rushed into Papyrus' kitchen to see if there was something else to prepare.

"(Y/N)!" Papyrus happily smiled when you appeared through the door. You hugged his waist from behind and watched how he carefully cut some sandwiches in skull shapes. Luckily, there was still a lot to prepare.

"Need a hand?" You took a knife and copied his movements.

"THAT'S NOT BAD, (Y/N)!" He clapped his hands emitting a bony sound. "NOW CUT 298 MORE AND WE'LL BE DONE!"

"Papyrus..." You placed your hands on his cheeks trying to bring him back to reality. "It's just you, Undyne, Alphys, Sans and me... and maybe Mettaton. I'm not sure if he can eat, though. So, we won't need that much food."

"IS 183 A REASONABLE NUMBER?"

"Let's make 10 more sandwiches, okay?" You softly grasped his cheek as you looked at the pile of sandwiches he already made.

"ALRIGHT!" Papyrus quickly listened to your demands and placed the cheese on each slice of bread. You repeated the same thing with the slices of pickles for the eye sockets of the bread craneum. Looking at the watch of the kitchen, there was still time for Mettaton to come before you finished the last 10 sandwiches. However, as time passed, you grew more impatient.

"Is he coming?" You raised your eyebrows as you watched the tall skeleton open an XL bag of extra crispy chips and pour it all into a small bowl. Helping him prepare the snacks for your guests was just an excuse to give Mettaton some extra time.

"WHO?" Papyrus opened his mouth confused by your question.

"Mettaton."

"I DON'T KNOW, (Y/N)!" The skeleton sounded almost ofended by your question.

"He hasn't answered Alphys' text and it's already past 9. I don't think he's coming..." You sounded resigned as you said that.

"IF HE WANTED TO COME HE WOULD ALREADY BE HERE!" He had a point.

"You're right, Papyrus..." Despite of the hopes you had, it was not likely for him to show up.

"Have you finished those sandwiches? I'm hungry." Sans made his appearence.

"JUST WAIT A MINUTE, BROTHER. THEY ARE ALMOST READY!" Papyrus answered as calmly as he could.

"Ok, ok..." Sans took some of the chips that had fallen from the bowl to his mouth and then walked to the fridge. "We will need some drinks with all of this food." He took a look into the refrigerator and saw nothing but a can of sweet cherry soda. "Can you get more soda? We are out of drinks." Sans said as he took the last can of soda and opened it in front of you.

"Hey, that was mine you fucking bonehead!"

"You can always buy more." You placed your hands around his neck as if you were going to choke him. He chuckled in return and softly moved your hands away from him.

...

"Acid fruit explossion... orange juice... sweet cherry soda... black boba tea... mew mew drink..." You rewatched the shopping list as you held all of the drinks in one arm. On your way to pay for the groceries you found a familiar man waiting in line putting some similar drinks into a tote bag. The man was no other than Mettaton himself. In metal and wires. He was standing there like a diva in a bright pink fur coat and some sunglasess for a bit of incognito mode. As you placed all of the drinks on the counter he took notice of your existence. He lifted his pink tinted glasses to check you out.

"Oh, hi... (Y/n), right?" He asked with a grin on his face. You didn't know how he knew your name. Maybe Alphys had talked to him about you?

"Yes, that's me!" You wanted to keep making eye contact with him, but you had to break it in order to pay for your drinks.

"I hope I'm not too late for the movie night. I wanted to make it up with some drinks and snacks so you guys would not be angry with me..." He explained and you nodded still amazed that you were there in front of the guy you saw on TV. As you two made your way out of the supermarket, he took two long cans of coconut water and offered you one.

"Cheers!" He said in a humorous way before taking a sip from his can. On the way back, you managed to exchange some words with him. Nothing meaningful, but it made you feel more comfortable in his presence. Outside of the TV he was a humble and caring guy. You learned that Mettaton was a big fan of the human traditions, that's why his hotel had so much references to your world (even if some of them did not match reality). You missed some of the things you left up there. Nevertheless, you had built a strong community with amazing people and you could say you enjoyed everything about the life in the underground (except for the vitamin D deficiency).

...

"Finally!" Sans exclaimed as he opened the door for you and took the bag you were carrying. He hadn't seen Mettaton who was right behind you.

"Hi, darling!" Mettaton took off his glasses and leaned over to give Sans a tender hug. The short skeleton patted his back in return.

"METTAAAAAAAAA!" Alphys shouted from the living room as she ran towards Mettaton. Their hug lasted longer as Alphys and him hadn't seen in a long time. Mettaton parted when his back started to hurt. He was still sore from yesterday's amazing dance show.

"HELLO, FRIEND!" Papyrus happily hugged Mettaton.

"Darling!" Mettaton gave him a peck on his cheek which made him blush. There was so much affection going on. So much you wished you hadn't gone to the grocery shop so you could receive some. The last one to get hugged was Undyne, it was short but seen from your perspective it made you envious. Next time Sans was getting the drinks.

"(Y/N), I HAVE A MISSION FOR YOU!" Papyrus caught you attention by placing a hand on your shoulder. He needed you to help him get all the snacks on the table. You quickly accepted the mission and saluted him like a soldier to his general. Once you arrived to the kitchen you saw an even bigger pile of sandwiches.

"Did you make more sandwiches?" You asked even if you already knew the answer.

"I PREPARED A 100 MORE, JUST LIKE YOU WANTED!" You shrugged it off and took the giantic tray of skeleton sandwiches with both hands. In order to arrive to the living room you had to walk very slowly. You didn't want to cause a mess after all the effort he had put into those sandwiches.

"Careful!" You said loudly so no one would get in your way. Mettaton appeared in front of you and placed his hands near yours to help you with the tray. You could feel a metallic finger softly stroke against the side of your hand. Even if it was unintentional, it made you blush.

"Are you expecting more guests?" Mettaton asked crocking his neck as the pile of sandwiches was blocking his view.

"No. It seems that Papyrus doesn't want us to be hungry." You both laughed and placed the tray in the center of the wooden table. Mettaton sat confortably on the sofa, not so far from Sans. He left a space in between for you to sit in.

"Where are you going, dear?" The robot asked confused as he patted the empty space he left for you.

"Oh, there is more!"

"More???" He exclaimed surprised standing up again to help you.

"Don't worry, it's not that much. I can handle it." As you walked away, Alphys noticed that Mettaton was watching you. Containing her laughter, she decided to tease him about it. To her surpirse, the robot confidently asked if you were single. Alphys quickly left her girlfriend's side to sit next to Mettaton and sip in the gossip.

"What? I like them. Is that a big deal?" Mettaton raised an eyebrow confused as Alphys covered her mouth and giggled.

"N-No!" She held back her excitement.

"Can you answer the question, darling? Yes or no?" Mettaton brought his face closer to Alphys' waiting for an answer.

"I'm sorry! W-When I get excited... I... I... cannot contain my la-" As the doctor was not colaborating, he decided to shake her abruptly.

"STOP IT! YES, THEY ARE SINGLE. RELEASE HER RIGHT NOW!" Undyne stood up to defend her girlfriend and Mettaton quickly let her go. He sat Alphys and dusted off her shoulders as an apology. With a polite smile on his face, they continued talking.

"Are you interested in going on a... d-date with her?" This conversation felt like a new Mad Mew Mew movie release for Alphys.

"I'm not sure if you are their type..." Undyne scratched her shiny forehead as she tought about you two.

"What's even their type?" Sans woke up to listen to the gossip.

"Might be humans. They are a human after all..." Undyne felt proud with her point.

"B-But... there are no humans in here. Aaaaaaand... Mettaton has the resemblance of a human!" The doctor explained her theory with no conviction.

"Looks like you are stuck in a love circuit!" Sans tried to make everyone laugh with his pun but it did not work. No one laughed. "Didn't you guys like my 'byte' sized joke?" Still no laughs.

"No!" Undyne said directly. "Anyway... You two don't have much in common. Look at (Y/n)! They spend their time on the internet like a weird lo-" Undyne stopped talking when she noticed her girlfriend was crossing her arms.

"Well, you can always give it a try. Take Alphys and Undyne as an example of an incompatible couple who is still together!" Sans laughed on his own.

"YOU'RE GOING TO REGRET YOUR WORDS!" Undyne exclaimed ofended throwing a pillow onto his face. Sans hugged the pillow tightly to his chest and fell asleep again. "Don't listen to him. You have to date that nerd. Nerds are the best partners!"

"Yeah, I think they will l-like you." Alphys muttered and blushed at what her girlfriend words.

"Thanks, beauties! I'll give it a try and see where it goes." Right when he finished thanking them Papyrus and you appeared through the door with more snacks. After placing the chips on the table, the great Papyrus decided to sit on the floor. You decided to do the same but Alphys stood up and offered you her place right next to Mettaton.

"Y-You c-can sit in here i-if you want to (Y/n)! I w-was sitting with U-Undyne and... uh I w-was h-here because... ugh... well... I..." Her face was getting sweaty. She didn't know how to finish the sentence.

"Sandwich!" Undyne saved her. "She wanted a sandwich. Hungry. Yes." Undyne moved her eyes from side to side and hugged Alphys tightly to her chest. Now that there was an empty seat, you happily took it. Despite of the terrible secret savers Mettaton had, you had no clue of his interest towards you.

"GIVE ME THE MOVIE!" Papyrus ordered as he quickly inserted the disk in the slot. Once he played all the necessary buttons, the movie started. It was from a human director you did not know anything about. Everyone was super invested in the first minutes of the movie, but as time passed, the movie was not getting any better. The only thing that kept you awake was the ocassional comentaries Mettaton made to say how we would make the movie more interesting. Despite of his silly ideas, you would kill to see that on the screen. The review you made was clear, it deserved to be in the garbage where the girls found it. The others made some non verbal feedback. For example, Papyrus went to his bedroom to play some games on his computer. After all day cooking, he had a well deserved rest and he could not stand boring actors. Sans slept through the entire movie and left to his bedroom to continue once it ended. The girls would not stop cuddling to avoid watching the movie. They also congratulated Mettaton for the great work in his shows.

"You know what was good about this movie? It made me grateful for being trapped in the underground." Undyne was honest.

"The animes are good though." Alphys tried to soften it up as she put on her winter jacket.

"Well, not all human movies are like this. Right, (Y/n)?" Mettaton tried to defend you as if you had created that monstruosity (in the bad sense of the word).

"We have (favourite movie). So, yes." You scratched you arm and walked with everyone to the front door.

"My uber will be here soon, darling. It was nice to meet you finally." He bended slightly and extended his arms to give you a tender hug. His hug was tight so you could not move and wrap your arms around his body. Despite not being able to breath, you enjoyed every second of it. In his robotic form, he was rough and did not control his strength, but somehow his hug made your heart warm.

The hug was soon interrupted by Alphys and Undyne who were leaving through the door. It was just Mettaton and you now. As the uber was still on his way, you waited with him on the porch. Even if it was dark outside, you could still see his features. He rested his back against the wooden wall of the house and checked his phone to see the hour.

"I didn't know there were uber drivers in here too."

"Well, there are no uber drivers. It's just one of my employees (BurgerPants)." He explained with a smile.

"Hey, Mettaton." That caught his attention. "I hope to see you again soon." The only reason you confesed your desire to meet him again was because you saw a car approaching from the distance. You even started waving at him like an idiot.

"Darling, that's not my car."

"Oh..." You fidgeted the awkwarness away with the lace of your sweatshirt.

"And I would love to see you again too." He brused a synthetic strand of hair over his ear. "You can come to my show anytime. I'll get you front row seats."

"That would be great..." Now you were the one brushing a strand of hair over your ear.

"Hey, I mean it. I would love to see you again, darling." You weren't sure what to answer. But you did not have to. You smiled nervously and stayed still as you were not believing any of this was happening. Mettaton's fingers softly trailed down your check. Ending with a soft brush of his thumb in your chin. "Can I kiss you?" That caught you off of guard. You could see his eyes scanning your lips, waiting patiently for an answer. Waiting for permission. The answer he was waiting did not arrive as expected. However, you approached your fingers to his lips to know how they felt like first in order to decide wheter you kiss them or not. Even if you could not resist yourself from kissing him, you wanted to tease him a little bit. Just to see how he would handle it. How he would react to your teasing.

"Yes." You hummed and pressed your lips on his softly.
