(Ah yes, a hyper focus night.)

You sighed wistfully at your text chat with Alphys, wishing you could confess your feelings. Papyrus made it look so easy!
He had confessed to Mettaton a while ago, and the two of them were great together.
You sighed again, but this time on a bit of a sadder note.
Rolling out of bed and onto your feet, you head down into the kitchen where Papyrus was preparing to start making dinner.
"Hey Papy???" You called, sounding just as nervous as you felt as you poked your head into the doorway.
"Yes, my delightful younger sibling?"
"Could I get some advice?" You asked, fiddling with your fingers while looking down at your toes, wiggling them a bit in your fuzzy socks.
"Of course! Anything for you, (Y/n)! What do you need?" He replied, fishing out the spaghetti pot.
"I was thinking about... c-confessing to Alphys. B-But I'm not sure how..."
Papyrus raised his bone brows at you in surprise, a warm smile on his face. "You like Alphys? That's wonderful!"
He took a moment to set the pot in the sink to fill it with water. "My advice would be to just be upfront! Or you could write a letter and give it to her if your words escape you!"
"You think that'll work?" You asked, moving to help him with dinner.
"I know it will!"

You took in a deep breath, your thoughtfully hand-written note clutched in your fingers.
Today was the day.
You walked through Waterfall, listening to the soft whispers of the Echo Flowers, the gentle trickle and splish of water under your feet.
'Maybe I should bring some Echo Flowers to Alphys?' You wondered, glancing down at a small patch of them.
Just as you began to reach down for them, you heard voices up ahead, and torn from your current objective, you slowly followed after the sound.
Your loving letter slipped from your hand at the sight before you as you rounded the corner. Alphys and Undyne were there, sharing kisses and loving words.
You felt a pain in your chest, backing away as tears streaked down your cheeks. You tore your gaze away, letter forgotten and soaking in the water puddles, and you quietly slipped away, hiding under your jacket.

"Papy!" You cried, stepping back into your home.
"What is it, (Y/n)!?" Papyrus was at your side in an instant, worry etched into his expression.
"I-I was t-too late!" You gasped, tears streaming down your face, expression scrunched up, "Alphys is with U-Undyne now..."
"Oh (Y/n)..." Papyrus sighed, bringing you into a hug before picking you up. "You'll find that special someone for you."
You cried into his scarf, watching as he carried you into the kitchen. He set you on the counter, moving to a foil-wrapped tin on the other side.
"Why don't we forget about these sad times with these brownies? I got them from one of the neighbors!" Papyrus declared, bringing you a saucer with two brownies on it.
You sniffled, wiping away your tears before you took the saucer with a soft smile.
"Thanks Paps."
He was right. You'd find someone someday, but for now, you needed to heal.
