My Knight of the Royal Guard (Papyrus x Reader)

Alone Again

You looked up to see that damn robot who'd got Papyrus's interest.

"Of course Mettaton! Sit wherever you like!"

He took your hand and led you to a table at the back. He pulled out your chair and motioned for you to sit. You hesitated, but sat down anyway. He tucked you and your chair in to the table. He sat across from you, resting his head in his hands, gazing at you from underneath his long eyelashes.

"Oh darling, did it hurt~?"

"Did what hurt..?" You asked, completely confused.

"When you fell down~? Heaven is up there right, you angel~"

Your face turned pink a little and you held back giggling. You'd heard that one thousands of times, but the way he managed to fit it in with your journey was amazing. He smirked flirtatiously at you.

"Now what's a gorgeous darling like yourself doing here all alone~?"

Your eyes widened as he continued to gaze at you with that lustful look. You didn't hate the robot, actually he was pretty cool! You were just upset that he'd taken Papyrus's attention first. It couldn't be helped though. Everyone loved Mettaton, and barely anyone even knew you.

"I-I wasn't alone at first... But my friend ran off looking for something. He didn't tell me what though..." You stared down at the table, blushing slightly. Mettaton stared at you with curiosity, leaning slightly further across the table. You knew he would definitely be able to tell you were blushing. You were right.

"You like this friend, don't you~? As in, more than a friend~ And who is he, darling~?" He smirked as you snapped your head up to him, your wide eyes staring into his. You sighed and looked away.

"I do...A-and it's Papyrus..." He took your hand gently and gave you an understanding look. You smiled softly at him.

"You poor darling~ You should talk to him~ You never know, he might feel the same~!" Your smile saddened, and he looked at you worriedly.

"It doesn't matter... He already likes someone else..."

"And who is that darling~?"

At this point Mettaton was leaned all the way across the table, inches from you. You were about the respond when-

"WOWIE! IT'S METTATON!"

Your skeleton friend was back, and running towards you. The other customers were glaring at him for making such a racket. Your face burned as you giggled, Mettaton giving you a knowing look.

"WOWIE (Y/N)! YOU GOT TO SIT WITH METTATON!" His face lit up and he stared in awe at the robot.

"Y-Yeah I did..!" You scratched the back of your neck, smiling weakly. Mettaton could apparently sense your awkwardness and stood up.

"You must be Papyrus, correct~?" He held a hand out, which Papyrus gladly shook. He was such a fanboy.

"WOWIE! HE EVEN KNOWS MY NAME!" His eyesockets sparkled as he stared at Mettaton, who chuckled.

"Why don't I show you and your lovely darling here around~?"

Mettaton held a hand to you, which you took and stood up. Papyrus watched the two of you as Mettaton held his arm out to you. You held his arm tightly, but you'd much rather it be Papyrus than Mettaton. The three of you left the restaurant and headed into the main part of the building.

Mettaton had shown you and Papyrus all around Hotland and his resort. You were walking slowly behind them as they talked excitedly, Mettaton getting unbearably close to Papyrus. Your eyes widened and he linked arms with the skeleton, who don't seem to mind. In fact, he adjusted his arm for the robot to get a better grip. You looked down as you tried to stop the tears welling up in your eyes. It stung painfully, both in your head and your heart. You felt stupid for trusting that damn robot, you should have known he would do this!

Your footsteps slowed down to a stop, but the two in front of you didn't seem to notice, leaving you alone. This was familiar to you, and reminded you of that time long ago, when you first fell down here. You'd been left alone, almost dying from Flowey's attack, until Toriel found you and kept you safe. Right now, you wished you'd stayed with her.

You stared after your tall friend, the tears spilling down your cheeks. You figured you were nothing important to him, if he left you behind like this. You felt so angry at that stupid robot for taking him away, but the sadness and hurt you felt overpowered it. It was like you were being ripped in half from the inside out.

'Well I see where I stand...'

You slowly made your way back to your house, not looking up once along the way. You didn't want to see anyone right now, not after that.

"Stupid Mettaton... Stupid Papyrus..."

You muttered under your breath, slamming the door closed. The whole house shook, and you dragged your feet upstairs. Tears spilling from your eyes, you climbing into bed, crying yourself to sleep.
