Orange Broken Bones

They Call You Crybaby

((For the sake of this chapter, I drew this cause I was bored and the story was on my mind))

That day since the party left Papyrus completely mixed around in the heart and soul, he couldn't tell if it was a dream or reality. That night was one of the best evenings the Great Papyrus could ever have. First, he was brought to a fancy party, then he got to have his first dance with his crush! Next his crush CONFESSING TO HIM. Then a sleepover, and even a passion kissing session with Mettaton!! It all happened so fast when it was replayed, but Mettaton would've known if he had taken every move so slow. How did Mettaton know how to do that so good? It was like sugar that did the opposite to what Papyrus' normal energy was: it settled him to want more of it and drown in Mettaton's loving arms. Asgore sake, he even asked if it was legit, happening so lovingly. Mettaton didn't wait to tell him how he felt about him through movement and temptation to claim one's place. He didn't cry at all last night while the storm started picking up speed. The voice didn't come while Mettaton was present. Maybe it was afraid of their secret being revealed to someone who Papyrus cared about so much. It felt so warm and comfortable resting on his crush. Not because he was metal and his programming giving love in the air, his soul actually felt safe. He actually felt safe close to Mettaton like that! All Papyrus had to worry about was getting the sleep he never got recently from endless nights of tears and regrets of living. That was the medicine Papyrus needed and he wished he had the guts from the past skeleton he used to be, just to ask for another night of that bliss. He doesn't wanna cry himself to sleep again, and something about Mettaton held that key.

When he was dropping Mettaton off back the lab by taxi, he wanted to go in with him and have a night there all over again. But he can't do that without having to say every word about his feelings. Despite already admitting them through body language, it still felt like Mettaton hasn't said anything about them being in a committed relationship. Papyrus wanted Mettaton now more than anything, besides his brother and human of course. It's just he wanted a cuddle mate for as long as he still rests. It felt too good to say it wasn't worth saying yes to the date, and Papyrus' FIRST date too! He sometimes still touches his teeth were Mettaton passionately kissed him for the first time before the magic happened. He was crying inside when Mettaton was getting further and further away once the doors started to close to the lab. But after ten minutes, Mettaton and Papyrus have been texting each other about the night and if they could ever meet up again sometime very soon. Papyrus was over the moon with joy that he won't have to suffer long anymore, well, just not as much. He's gonna be brave and tell him everything, even the saddening emotions he's had and maybe Mettaton could be his therapist to help! He would just have to keep it a secret. Just an extra order of happy pills to keep Papyrus' reason to live stocked.

Undyne and Sans have been nagging at Papyrus to tell them about the date but somethings about it, he wished to keep to himself, worried about them being concerned for their happy Papy. He only told some of the dance and the sleepover being just like a normal sleepover. Nothing about what really happened to trigger an overprotective big brother Sans. However, things were gonna be got over soon enough once training starts after sentry duty. Papyrus still can't be at Undyne's without having to question himself further about the Royal Guard. Something about his self reasoning with the date of the Royal Guard still being nearby, from what Undyne says. He remembers conversations with Flowey about the ordeal. Papyrus asked Undyne just before she could to fight the human just a day ago before the date night happened. He remembered how tired they were, it was almost sickening to see them so tired and worn out since. Eh! Why should that even matter anyway?! He knows he wasn't getting any better but the Royal Guard is the only reason left why he's still here, and his friends and the human too. Speaking of the human, he had to find them very soon! Today was the day that he was gonna make a friendship happen between the human and Undyne. They're fight was pretty intense from what they've said to him about it and he knows exactly how to mend things: a nice wholesome chat!
