Finding Love Again (Mettaton X Reader 2)

Chapter 3; Over For Dinner

Your POV~

There was a hesitant knock on your door. Zach had just got home from work. You got up from the couch and opened the door to see that stupid robot.

“What the heck are you doing here?” You crossed your arms.

“I…I, uh, I…” He stuttered nervously. You noticed black oil-like tears were starting to form in his eyes. “I-I wanted to…say-”

“Babe, who- oh…it's him,” Zach stood next to you and wrapped an arm around your shoulder.

“Hi, Zachary…um, I'm sorry for, uh, w-what happened t-two weeks ago,” he stammered and seemed to be backing away shyly.

“Whatever, robot.”

“Um…so, I-I'm just gonna-”

“Wait,” you said touching his metal arm.

Mettaton looked at your hand and you removed it while blushing.

“Um, look, I should apologize too,” you said. “I've been kinda hard on you for the past couple weeks.”

“What?” Both Zach and Mettaton asked.

You didn’t notice Frisk peeked his head in through his bedroom door.

“But…he coulda killed me! He attacked me!” Zach yelled.

“Yeah, but he seems truly sorry about what he’s done,” you said to Zach. “I mean, look at him.”

“I am sorry, I was panicked about what happened and where I was,” Mettaton said shyly.

“Ugh, fine!”

“Why don’t you want me to forgive him?” you asked confused.

“Because I don’t trust him, (y/n),” Zach stated.

You looked at the robot, who was wiping his tear.

“Sorry, I'm a little emotional,” Mettaton looked away.

“It’s alright,” you smiled kindly as you finished wiping a tear. “Is this oil?”

“Yeah, it is, being a robot and all, I’m not that waterproof,” Mettaton giggled quietly. “That’s why I don’t cry tears…but you’re smart enough to know that.”

“Would you like to come in? We were just about to eat dinner,” you offered.

“Are you sure I won’t intrude?” he asked unsurely.

“Nonsense, right, Zachy?” you nudged your boyfriend.

“Of course you won’t intrude,” he said through gritted teeth.

“Excellent! Come on,” you walked off to the kitchen to finish making dinner.

Mettaton placed one foot in the room and Zach stopped him with a hand on his chest.

“This doesn’t mean she’s yours,” he smirked.

“I never said she was mine,” Mettaton replied.

“You’re trying to get back together with her, I know you are. Just be careful. She’s my girlfriend, you lost your chance,” Zach smirked proudly.

“Yeah, because of this…stupid RESET thing you did, and do you even know what you did?” Mettaton asked with rage, but sadness boiling inside as well.

“Got back the girl of my dreams, bonded more with my son, and now, I’m constantly watching you suffer from heartbreak.”

“I was going to be a father,” Mettaton stated. “Me and (y/n) were going to have a little girl. We were going to name her Payton. We were gonna have our own family, and you ruined that.”
