Love is Complicated (papyton)

brother issues

 Sans walked up behind Mettaton as he started to move for his car door. "Hey," he said darkly. Mettaton jumped and turned around abruptly, slapping sans in the face by accident. "WHO ARE YOU?!" he yelled. Sans covered his mouth with his hand to silence him. "I'm pap's bro. And if you have any ill intentions for him, I swear to god, I WILL risk going to jail." his eyes narrowed as he glared at Mettaton, who stared at him and looked as if he was going to cry. "I... I have no intentions with him. I love him, and I care for him." he pushed Sans' hand away from his face as he spoke. "I would NEVER do anything to papyrus. He's too good for that." he looked at the ground, then strait at sans. "You. stay. Away. from. My. brother." and with that, sans walked off into the darkness.

The next day, Mettaton was quieter than usual. Papyrus sat down quietly next to him outside his home after school. Mettaton jumped, and scooted over away from papy a little. He looked down at his feet and said nothing. "Are you ok?" papy asked sadly. Mettaton hated to see him like this, but he continued to stare at his feet, avoiding his eye contact. "I-is it... something I did?" mettaton could feel his heart sink in his chest. He turned and looked at him, and smiled. "No, dear. It's nothing you did. It's... someone else." he stared into his eyes, water starting to fill his own. "Who?!" papyrus looked angry. "Who would make you so upset?" he looked about ready to cry himself. "Y-" mettaton started. He realized what would happen if he told papyrus about what his brother had said. It would kill papyrus inside to know that his brother would say such a thing. "It was myself. I've just been really busy, that's all." he once again stared at the ground, ashamed that he would lie to papyrus like that. "You're lying." papyrus said bluntly, with a tinge of sadness in his voice. He seemed, hurt. "What's really going on?"

"If i told you, you'd be very unhappy..." mettaton was unsure of what to do. "Tell me. I want to know."

"IT WAS YOUR BROTHER!" mettaton yelled. Papyrus gasped and covered his mouth. Rage started to fill his eyes. "P-please don't d-do anything!" Mettaton hugged papy. "Don't get angry at him." papyrus slowly relaxed, and hugged mettaton back. "At least tell me what he did," he said flatly. "H-he... he told me to stay away from you. That i was a bad influence..." mettaton trailed off into a rambling of nonsense. "A-and i-it's true, c-ca-cause-e i-i'm a t-trible p-person a-and imsosorryitoldyoui-ishouldnthavenowyourupsetlikeiamand-" mettaton was cut off by papyrus' lips colliding with his own. They stayed their in an embrace for minutes, until mettaton stopped shaking. They pulled away, and papyrus gave mettaton another hug. "You are not a bad influence. I love you and I care for you. And you with me. We love each other. And my brother was an idiot to try and break us apart. Remember that, ok?"

"Ok."
