We're Enemies, Friends, then Lovers (Mettaton X Reader)

Mettaton's POV

The next morning when (Y/N) and I woke up, I tried making conversation, "Good morning!"
"Morning." , (Y/N) said, not looking my way.
"You didn't make a mean remark?"
"No, I have no energy to be mean."
"Is everything alright?"
"No... just please... leave me alone." , (Y/N) replied, standing up.
"Alright if that's what you want." , I said.
(Y/N) looked at me and walked away.
Then realized she was walking to the kitchen.
*ring ring*
"What?" , (Y/N) asked.
She screamed some curse words and hung up.
Eating a banana, she just stared at me.
"Can we talk (Y/N)?" , I asked.
"I'm in a bit of a bad mood right now." , (Y/N) replied, "So no."
"I heard everything you said to Alphys last night."
"Wait what? You weren't supposed to hear all that."
"You're jealous of me, darling." , I said.
"Of course I'm jealous of you!" , (Y/N) said, tears streaming down her face.
"Would you like to tell me why?"
"I guess I have no choice. Sense you've heard everything I said to Alphys last night."
"Are you afraid I'm gonna judge you?"
(Y/N) nodded tears still streaming down her face.
"I'm not gonna judge you, darling." , I said.
"I've barely given you a chance. I've been mean to you. Yet you're still kind to me. Why?" , (Y/N) asked.
"You could use some love."
"Geez thanks."
"I'm being serious. Plus I've always wanted to be your friend."
"I have plently of friends." , (Y/N) said, laughing.
"Really dear?" , I asked, folding my arms.
"Yes really!"
(Y/N) looked angry and embarrassed.
Then she got up and threw out her banana.
"Well quit staring at me. We don't got all day." , (Y/N) said, sitting on the couch.

(Y/N)'s POV

Mettaton sat on the couch next to me.
"You were all by yourself a lot in highschool, (Y/N)." , Mettaton said.
"Fine, you're right." , I said, "I currently have no friends."
"Because you close yourself off, darling."
"That's my fault."
"I can help you. I want to help you."
I started tearing up again and said, "Thank you. I don't deserve this."
"Can I ask what happened yesterday?" , Mettaton said.
Oh boy, I knew he was gonna bring this up at some point.
"I got into an massive argument with my father. My sister and Mother took his side, and I ended up getting kicked out." , I replied.
It feels good to have someone to talk to about this. Even if it's, Mettaton. Out of all people.
"Do you want to discuss what the argument was about or?"
I nodded yes and started talking.
*flashback to yesterday*
I walked back inside to see an angry father.
"W-what's wrong Dad?" , I asked nervously.
"Don't start with that! You know very well what's wrong. You haven't been helping out around here." , Dad snapped.
"I've been trying to make money by entering in fashion and singing competitions."
"You mean fashion and singing competitions you can't win? Face it, (Y/N). You're a failure. You're never gonna make it in the world of fashion or singing. So just give up and stop free loading."
"FREE LOADING?!" , I snapped, "I just graduated high school like a week ago."
My sister walked into the kitchen and said, "no offense but I've been doing more around here then you have."
"I've been trying to get money to support this family!"
"How's that working for you?! It's not!" , Dad snapped.
"You guys could have a little more faith in me." , I said, tears streaming down my face.
"If you can't win the most basic competitions you have no chance in the real world." , (S/N) said.
"Oh sc**w you!" , I snapped, tears still falling.
"What's all this noise?" , Mom asked, coming from downstairs.
I tried to explain what was going on but Mom wasn't having any of it.
"Honey, you're Dad and (S/N) are right. Maybe you should just give up while you're ahead—" , Mom started to say.
"I can't believe you guys!" , I said.
"We were planning on kicking you out anyway." , Mom said.
Dad nodded.
I ran up to my room sobbing and packed a suitcase filled with clothes, my phone, charger, and a couple books.
The rest of my things are still at home.
*present*
"Maybe they're right. Maybe... I should give up..." , I finished saying, sobbing.
"No! You shouldn't give up. I've heard you sing, darling. You're extremely good. Your fashion though does need a bit of work." , Mettaton said.
"Thanks I guess."
"I could hear your Dad screaming at you. The way they spoke to you was uncalled for."
"You could hear that? Oh god."
"I walked away though. I didn't want you to hate me more."
"I shouldn't have been so mean to you." , I said.
"No, darling you shouldn't have. But I forgive you." , Mettaton said, "You were simply jealous of me."
"Aha."
I walked away and decided to get dressed for the day.
