Love is Complicated (papyton)

years later...

A few years had passed since the incident with Sans, and Mettaton and Papyrus were living happily together. They had graduated high school four years before now and moved in together about a month after graduation. Papyrus woke up to someone calling him. "Papy, dear, breakfast," Mettaton whispered. Papyrus rolled over and groaned. "Good morning, dear," he said, exhausted. He worked as head chef at the snowdinn restaurant and worked until the afternoon when the rush hour ended. Mettaton started his career in fine arts and was a famous actor, known for his wondrous roles in plays and movies.

Papyrus looked at the clock: 5:30. Time to get up. Slowly, he got out of bed, walked down the stairs and past the foyer, into the kitchen. "I made Pancakes," Mettaton said sweetly. Papy grabbed a plate and joined Mettaton at the table. As they ate, a small figure peered out from the door. Mettaton turned and smiled. "Come on, Impact, I made your favorite." at these words, the little boy jumped and ran into the kitchen, piling his plate high with pancakes. The couple had adopted the child 2 years before, and had found that he was a lot like his Fathers'. He loved to dress up and wear makeup like Mettaton, but had hyperness of Papyrus. Metta and Papy had married only three years ago, but it felt like it had been forever. "So, what going on with your brother?"his husband asked. Papyrus flinched. "He... he's supposed to be released today." Papyrus looked down. "Wow... five years goes by so fast..." Mettaton put his other, working hand on the table. They stood in silence for a moment, until Impact piped up. " so, mamaton, do you have anything to do today?" he asked excitedly. "Why, no, i don't! Do YOU know what we could do?" mettaton laughed. "SHOPPING!!!!!" Impact jumped up and almost screamed. "Not if you keep screaming like that, darling. It still echoes." Mettaton scolded. The trio had just recently moved to a new estate with all the money mettaton and papy were earning. It was a whopping 7 acre building, with about 12 extra acres around it. They had barely seen the entire house, and moved in only a couple of weeks before. They still hadn't fully unpacked. "Sorry Momaton. Hey! After we go shopping, can jake come over?! It IS New years! And mandy, two!" jake was Undyne and Alphy's oldest son, and Mandy was Nick and Bill's daughter. "I suppose! Why not?" Papy spoke up. "OOOOH! And we could invite tori and asgore and the not-so-much-kids!" frisk, asriel, and Chara were now adults, fresh out of high school. And azzie was going to be the mayor, or at least that's what he thinks. His father was the current mayor last year and pursued his dream to be a judge, and he wanted to follow in his footsteps. "Oh! And maybe aunt Shy-Shy and uncleBlook!?" Impact asked excitedly. Napstablook was mettaton's cousin, but Impact insisted that he should be called "uncleblook" like how he called Mettaton his "momaton." he didn't have a cool nickname for papyrus, though. "Well, i've got to go the the courthouse." papyrus stated. "I'm trying to keep Sans in jail." Mettaton gasped. "Really?! He's served his time! Shouldn't you be happy to see him again?!" papyrus shook his head. He grabbed mettaton's robotic arm. "How could I be happy to see the person who did this to you?" he had tears in his eyes. Mettaton's missing arm was a permanent reminder of what his brother did. But there was another reason he didn't want him free. They had sold the skelebro's house when they moved. He'd have to stay with them, and he couldn't let his brother near his husband. He didn't wasn't IT happening again. "Well... tell him I said hello." Mettaton kissed his husband and walked him out the door, with Impact running swiftly alongside them. Mettaton grabbed papys brown jacket and draped it onto his shoulders. "I love you, dear," Papy said as he ran to his car. "I love you too..." he whispered. He was perfectly fine with sans being let loose, but he was unhappy that papy still wasn't. He had been the one to get attacked, yet Papy was the one to hold a grudge. Mettaton understood what it felt like to protect a loved one. It is tough to try NOT to do something like what Sans did. He didn't want Papy to hate Sans forever. "Come on, dear, let's go!" Mettaton hugged his little boy. "YAY!" Impact whisper-shouted. The two walked out into the cold weather of Alaska.
