The Call Of A Mute Heart

Chapter 7

Hello, Everyone! So I was thinking of doing an author Q and A so Message me your questions! Next chapter I'll make a Q and A section ^_^
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You open the door to Mettaton's office. Peering around, only to find that the robot monster wasn't there. Where was he? You were told this is where he would be. It has been about a week since the after party incident and he had asked that you take some time to heal from it. He had checked up on you by stopping at your house. So did the skeleton brothers. Actually, at this point you were pretty sure they lived in your house more than theirs. Not that you were complaining. It was nice to have other people in the house other than you. Each day had been crazy with them yet a lot of fun. But you didn't let that free time go to waste.

So instead, you had revamped the music for your song but that could only keep you occupied for so long. Now you were done getting stir crazy in your house, so you asked Sans to drop you off so that you could turn in the music for review. Only the robot wasn't here. Maybe he was in the studio? You pulled out your temporary phone to ask BP.

"Oh! Hello, Songbird!"

Putting your temp phone in your pocket, you look up at the tall robot while flashing him a smile. "Hello, Mettaton."

"Darling, it's wonderful to see you! It was just awful here without your presence! Are you sure your okay with being here?" He asked while pulling you into a dramatic hug that made you chuckle. "You can take as much time as you need. Everyone copes differently."

"Are you sure you want me hanging around Sans more than I already am?" You signed to him while cocking an eyebrow at him playfully when he released you.

"You bring up a good point..." Mettaton rubbed his chin thoughtfully before giving you another hug. "I'm glad your back, my dear. But unfortunately, I cannot stay."

"Aw, why not? I brought the revised sheet music we talked about." you signed to him before opening you music notebook to the designated page.

This peeked his interest and he seemed to be debating something in his head. You watched as he weighed the pros and cons. His facial features exaggerating when he thought of a pro or a con, much to your amusement. The pros seemed to be winning. Then without a word, he moved you aside and walked into his office, only to emerge a few seconds later.

"Alright, darling, you are coming with me." He said after locking his office door and leading you down the hallway out of the studio. "I'll be waiting for a bit so we can go over the music revisions during that time."

"Where are we going?" You asked while speeding up a bit to keep up with his long strides.

He led you outside where a limo was waiting. With grace and grandeur, Mettaton swept open the door for you. Ending the movement with a small bow. "After you, Milady." You playfully rolled your eyes at him before accepting his offer. Crouching down, you slide into the back seat of the limo with Mettaton joining you a few seconds later. "Well, to answer your question. To put this simply... I'm getting a much needed upgrade."

Upgrade? What would he need an upgrade for? Your hands signed the questions to him while you gave him a curious look. You knew he was a robot but he acted so... Normal that it was easy to forget. Mettaton leaned back into the seat of the limo with a grateful sigh.

"Oh, it's just wonderful, Songbird. I'm finally getting this energy output issue fixed. I will no longer be almost missing concerts for just working a few extra hours." Mettaton said as he seemed to look off into space. The way he spoke about it made it seem like he has had to deal with this issue for a very long time. If that was so it was great that it was finally getting fixed.
