Part 10 of 19: Photoshoot

(About a week later)

"How's Papyrus's pet doing?" Alphys texted to Fell. She had been a little anxious to see him again.

"He's a lot better now." Fell texted back.

F: "Actually, Boss even did a mini photo shoot for him today."

A: "Rlly!?"

F: "Yeah. He was not happy about it though, lol."

F: "Wanna see the photos? Paps said only one of them was good because he kept pouting the entire time."

A: "Sure, I'm curious now. :P"

A large file began to download onto Alphys's phone. Once it was finished, she opened up the album.

"Oh wow." She snickered to herself. Sans wasn't lying when he said Lust was not happy with the photo shoot.

Papyrus had set him in front of a white backdrop, sitting on top of a pile of pillows. He was outfitted in new clothes: a plain light grey t-shirt, black shorts, and socks held up by garters.

Lust's face was anything but excited. There were about 20 photos overall, but he looked unhappy in almost all of them. There was a good majority that only showed his back. Evidently, he had not cooperated with Papyrus.

Even though he wasn't smiling in most of the pictures, Alphys had to admit that he still looked very attractive. In one of them, his eyelights were caught in mid eye-roll, his hand supporting the side of his face as he laid on his ribcage. His legs were crossed behind him as his tail swayed in the air.

In another, he had his back to the camera, his head half turned to the right. His eye-sockets were narrowed in annoyance, his arms in his lap as his ears flattened down unhappily.

Alphys's phone dinged.

F: "The last photo was the only one that Boss really liked. Probably because he looked the most "sexy" in it. 😂"

Alphys rolled her eyes, smiling to herself. Fell obviously thought that his brother's opinion wasn't warranted in his book. She scrolled to the back of the album, clicking on the last photo.

Lust was sitting with a pillow between his legs. One hand reached down to grip the surface of the pillow while the other hand teased the side of his mouth. A flash of his purple tongue could be seen. His head was tilted slightly, his eye-sockets half-lidded as he looked off to the side.

"O-Oh God, I think I'm g-getting a nosebleed." Alphys muttered to herself, her face becoming bright red.
"What are you looking at, Alphys dear?" A metallic voice called from the doorway.

Alphys jumped in surprise, automatically hiding her phone to her chest. "U-uhh.. nothing?"

Mettaton raised an eyebrow at her. "You look like you've just watched something naughty." Alphys's face reddened even more. "I-I don't watch stuff like that!"

Mettaton shrugged. "Whatever you say, darling. So what were you doing then?"

"I was just texting Sans." Mettaton's eyes narrowed. "Those skeleton brothers aren't anything but trouble." He snapped.

"They just got a new pet, and Sans was showing me some photos of him. Wanna see?" She held out her phone.

Mettaton raised his eyebrows. "The skeletons aren't really ones to get pets.. It's really out of character for them." He took Alphys's phone, looking at the photos. His eyes widened as he took in Lust.

"Oh my." He breathed. "Who is that?" He had never seen anyone like that before. "That's their pet." Alphys replied, smiling at Mettaton's reaction. "Isn't he beautiful?"

"He's gorgeous." Mettaton replied, staring wide-eyed at the photos.

Alphys giggled. "I know right? Maybe I can take you with me next time I do a check up for him." Mettaton pried his eyes away from the phone to look at Alphys uncertainly. "I don't think the skeletons would like me over there."

"Oh pish. I'll just make up an excuse about you wanting to learn some medical practices. Don't you want to meet him?" Mettaton's face flushed. "I don't know.."

"It'll be fine, Mettaton." Alphys smiled reassuringly at him.

Mettaton sighed. "Fine, but I dislike the skeleton brothers just as much as they dislike me. It's not going to end well." Alphys ignored Mettaton's pessimistic remark, already texting Sans about going over to do a check up to make sure Lust was fully healed.
