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

(Y/N)'s POV — that same night

I was gazing at the stars.
Laying on my back, relaxing.
"*sighs*. Soon I have to get back to Alphys and Mettatons." , I said, yawning.
"(Y/N), darling!" , Mettaton said, laying down next to me, "I was worried when you stormed out of the house earlier."
Maybe he's not so bad. I thought.
"I'm sorry."
"It's alright."
Then an awakard silence fills the air.
"I've always been kinda a stubborn person huh, Mettaton?" , I asked.
"Yea, darling. You still are." , Mettaton replied.
"Hey! I'm not."
"You are."
My eyes began to shut. No I must stay awake. I have to get up.
But my body was saying otherwise.
I ended up falling asleep.
*the next morning*
I woke up gasping at the position I ended up in!
"M-m-Mettaton! Wake up!" , I said, poking his shoulder.
"I'm sorry. You fell asleep instantly." , Mettaton said, turning away.
"It's fine. Just wake me up next time."
I stood up and got walking.
"Gotta get back." , I said, walking fast.
"Wait, darling, let me walk with you." , Mettaton said.
"I'd rather walk alone."

(Mettaton POV)
I got blushing when I was (Y/N).
Good thing I didn't give myself away.
When I got home, Alphys said, "(Y/N) went to look for a job."
"A job?!" , I asked.
"Yes. There's this thing called work, Mettaton."
"Oo wow!"
"Having your own tv show isn't that much work. It's more fun then anything." , Alphys said.
"I know that!" , I said.
"You should have (Y/N) work as an assistant on your show."
"What? She's not qualified."
"Qualified? Sense when do you need qualified?"

(Alphys POV)
Poor (Y/N) heard the entire conversation.
I had no idea she would get back from job hunting so early.
(Y/N) ran back outside, crying.
"Mettaton... (Y/N) sorta heard all that..." , I said.
"What?" , Mettaton asked.
"You idiot! Just because you have a crush on her doesn't mean you shouldn't let her work as your assistant!"
"I know. I'm an idiot."
"You have to apologize to her." , I said.
"I know." , Mettaton said.
"Get out there!"
I shoved Mettaton lightly outside and made him apologize to (Y/N).
"(Y/N)? I'm sorry." , Mettaton said.
"You better be!" , (Y/N) said, slightly angry.
"I'm sorry."
"I forgive you. Don't say anything like that again. It hurt my feelings."
"I won't. Do you want to be one of my show assistants?"
(Y/N) shook her head 'no'.
"I'm going fill out these job applications." , (Y/N) said, "So no."
"Ouch, sticks and stones." , Mettaton said.
"You have plenty of show assistants. You don't need another one."
Okay I have to stop listening to there conversation now. I turned away and started watching anime.

(Y/N)'s POV

I thought I heard Mettaton say anything but when I questioned him on it.
"What? I didn't say anything." , Mettaton said.
"Okay. If you say so." , I said, writing on my job application.
Then I heard Mettaton walk away.
I filled out all my job applications. I walked into the house but into a conversation with Mettaton and Alphys.
That I probably shouldn't have walked in on.
"Tell her already." , Alphys said.
Tell who already?
"I can't tell her. I don't want to ruin our friendship—." , Mettaton started to say before noticing me.
"Oh hey (Y/N)." , Mettaton said, a light pink blush on his face.
"Hi." , I said, "I'm going to make dinner."

—A couple days later—

(Y/N)'s POV

I ran into my one of my highschool bullies at a job interview.
Ohh what a great day. (I'm being sarcastic)
"Omg! Nice to see you loser!" , Sasha said.
"Shut up and leave me alone. I'm trying to get through waiting for this job interview in peace." , I said.
(S/N): Hi (Y/N). I know you don't want to speak to me. But Grandmas in the hospital.
Me: And? You guys kicked me out of the house. Plus considering SHE stopped speaking to me when I wasn't number one in the class, SHE doesn't earn my respect!
Me: I have a job interview! Bye!
I sighed then I heard my name get called.

(Mettaton POV)

"Alphys! I was so distracted on tv!" , I said.
"You need to tell (Y/N) how you feel." , Alphys said.
(Y/N) walked in the door and asked, "Tell who what?"
"Oh MTT has a crush!" , Alphys said.
"Good for him. He should tell the lucky girl."
