☆Prom Night- Papyton

Plot: Papyrus is ready for his senior prom, but who exactly does he take with him and how will the night unfold when Papyrus confesses his love?

A/N: Mentions of dadster and sansby

~☆~

"So, how do I look?" Papyrus asked nervously. He had just finished putting on the outfit he and Sans had chosen for tonight, but was anxious that it wasn't formal enough for prom. He had settled with a long sleeved black button up with a pair of dark blue jeans.

Sans chuckled and tossed his younger brother a bottle of bone cologne. "You look great, Pap."

"Then why are you laughing?!" Papyrus asked anxiously, worried that his brother wasn't being truthful.

"Its just that you sound like me when I went to prom. Dad didn't hear the end of it until Grillbz came to pick me up," Sans said, getting off of Papyrus's bed and walking over to him, fixing his bow tie. "Speaking of which, you never did tell me who you're taking." Papyrus's face erupted in an orange hue, causing Sans to laugh once more. "Oh, it's that boy you like, isn't it? What was his name again?"

Papyrus quickly collected himself, though his face was still lit up a deep orange. "His name his Mettaton. He actually should be here any minute."

Sans smiled and watched as Papyrus fixed little details on his outfit, picking up the small bouquet of roses he picked put for Mettaton.

"Are you gonna confess tonight or something?" Sans asked, causing Papyrus to freeze up. Was he that obvious? "Holy shit you are! So what are you gonna say?"

"I-I don't know. I'll figure it out as the night progresses." Their conversation was abruptly cut short by a knock on the door followed by Gaster's voice.

"Papyrus! It's for you!"

Papyrus smiled happily and rushed out of his room, but not before stopping to give his brother a hug. Sans gave him a smile and thumbs up.

"Knock 'em dead, Romeo."

Papyrus eventually stopped in front of the robot, saying goodbye to his brother and father before shutting the door behind him.

"H-hi, Mettaton!" Papyrus greeted, noticing a small pink tint on the robots cheeks. "Oh, these are for you!" He said, handing the small clump of flowers to him.

Mettaton happily took them and smiled, giving Papyrus a quick hug. "Thank you, Papy. They're beautiful."

Papyrus smiled and rubbed the back of his neck, holding out his arm for Mettaton to loop his own arm through, "shall we?"

Mettaton giggled and looped his arm with the skeletons, "we shall."

The two made the short walk to the school, talking about random nonsense on their way there. Though their conversation was quickly cut short once they noticed all the bright lights and loud music coming from the gymnasium.

They made their way inside, greeting a few people they recognized before ultimately deciding to find a small table and enjoy some of the food provided. They decided to split a slice of chocolate cake, which had whipped cream and a strawberry on top.

They sat down and began to eat, though eventually Papyrus noticed that Mettaton was giggling during his story of Sans's recent prank on him, when he didn't find it very funny.

"What is it?" Papyrus asked.

Mettaton reached over and wiped his finger on the corner of Papyrus's mouth. Papyrus noticed that it was whipped cream he had on his cheek. "There we go, I've never known you to be a messy eater, Papy." He said with a chuckle, licking the whipped cream off of his thumb and causing Papyrus to blush.

"Heh, thank you Mettaton. Though usually my brother is the messy one." He responded, picking up the strawberry with his fork and holding it out to the robot. "Here, you can have it. It's your favorite after all."

Mettaton looked on in surprise, "you remembered?"

Papyrus smiled brightly, "of course! I remember almost anything you tell me. I...uh..."

"You what, Papy? Are you okay?"

"Um, yes! I'm alright, here you go." Mettaton brushed it off and bit the strawberry off of Papyrus's fork.

It was quiet between them for a a moment, at least until a slower song started playing on the dance floor. Papyrus seized the opportunity and quickly stood from his seat, outstretching his hand to his date.

"Would you care to dance?" He asked, nervous for the response yet still having a bright smile on his face.

Mettaton nodded and smiled, taking his hand and allowing Papyrus to guide him to the dance floor. He was thankful that Sans and Grillby taught him how to slow dance beforehand, so now he wouldn't embarrass himself tonight.

He placed his hand upon Mettaton's waist and took his hand with the other, smiling when Mettaton followed his lead and placed his hand upon Papyrus's shoulder.

They were a bit awkward at first, but eventually they became more comfortable as the song progressed. They hadn't realized how long they were staring into each other's eyes until the song ended and a more upbeat song started playing.

Both boys blushed and looked away from each other, walking back over to their table and sitting down once more. Mettaton noticed how tense Papyrus had been for pretty much the whole night. He placed his hand ontop of the skeletons and looked at him with a worried expression.

"Are you okay, Papy? You seem tense?"

Papyrus looked back at his date and swallowed the lump in his nonexistent throat. Would now be a good time to tell him? Would there be any other opportunity if he didn't seize this one?

"Well, Mettaton, I...you see I...what I wanted to tell you is that..." he was struggling to get the words out, but Mettaton was in no rush.

"Take your time, Papy."

Papyrus smiled gratefully and continued, "what I've been meaning to tell you is that...I like you, Mettaton. I've liked you for a long time now and I've just been too afraid to tell you. I know I've said that the Great Papyrus isn't scared of anything, but I didn't want to lose you. But I figured that tonight I could tell you and perhaps ask you if you would like to...be my boyfriend?"

Mettaton's face was covered in a pink tint, taking a moment to process the skeletons confession. Eventually, he smiled brightly and laced his fingers together with Papyrus's.

"I was actually planning on confessing to you tonight as well, but I guess the Great Papyrus beat me to it."

Papyrus blushed and smiled happily, but before they could get another word in, another slow song started playing, the final song of the night.

They stood again, Papyrus leading Mettaton to the dance floor again. They began to slow dance, this time, much more comfortable. Mettaton had his arms wrapped around Papyrus's neck and Papyrus had both arms wrapped around Mettaton's waist.

"So, about my question-" Papyrus started, but was quickly cut off by a gentle kiss on his cheek.

"I would love to be your boyfriend, Papyrus," Mettaton said.

The night ended sooner than they would've liked, and Papyrus decided to walk Mettaton home. They're night together ended with a gentle kiss and a goodnight. However, Papyrus's ended with several questions from both his dad and brother. He didn't answer many, seeing as he was very tired.

Once he was ready for bed, he check his cellphone one final time for the day, seeing a message from his new boyfriend.

Metta💖- Wanna go on an official date tomorrow in Waterfall? We can get some nice cream.

Papyrus smiled at the message and quickly typed in a response, placing his phone down and slowly falling asleep with a blush on his face.

I would love to. See you tomorrow, -Papy🧡
