Just One Night

Quarrel

Undyne stormed after her lover as they made their way out of New Home. The fish monster was confused as to what had gotten into her dinosaur. She had never acted so furious or hostile like that, especially not towards her friends. It was quite the sight to see and quite frankly she was even intimidated for a moment. Even now as the dinosaur was bustling down the unbearably hot path to her laboratory, her lover could do little more than keep her eyes trained on the miffed monster.

When they finally made their way inside of the cool laboratory, Undyne let out a breath of relief. No matter how long she lived in Hotland, you know since her house had gone up in flames, she would never get over the sweltering heat. She quickly shrugged off her leather jacket, tossing it on the table next to the giant screen that broadcasted her image as she shuffled around the lab. The fish peeled off her white t-shirt and black jeans until she was clad in a pair of black boy shorts and matching sports bra. Finally, she was starting to cool off, but unfortunately she ended up losing sight of the yellow monster. Huffing in annoyance, she walked to the escalators at the opposite end to see if Alphys was working up on the second floor.

As she was slowly carried up the second floor, she heard angry muttering and the sound of rather heavy pacing. Undyne gave a small chuckle, knowing that her lover was merely sulking like a child. It shouldn't take too long to calm the raging monster, but she had to be careful since this was basically uncharted territory. When the upper lab was finally before the fish, she stepped off the escalator and softly padded up behind the angrily typing dino. Undyne wrapped her arms gently around Alphys' waist, having to hunch over to hold her lover. The monster let out a startled squeak and jumped in fright. Undyne gave a swift kiss to her cheek and squeezed her gently, "Relax. It's just me."

Her lover merely let out a soft grunt before turning back to the computer screen, "I thought you'd stay back at New Home, you know, since you spent the majority of the time bashing me in favor of the king."

Now Undyne was a bit shocked and fairly annoyed. How could she think that she was picking sides? The whole reason she was trying to drag her lover out of the home was to prevent her from starting a fight. The situation was stressful for everyone, but a fight would have only left everyone more frazzled than they already were. She loved the sweet, gentle Alphys, but she couldn't sit back and watch her best friends get into an actual brawl. The fish monster huffed before unlocking her arms from the dinosaur and stepping back a few feet.

"So now it's my fault?"

"You weren't exactly stepping in to defend your girlfriend. In fact, you were awfully quick to reprimand me in front of everyone," The doctor bit out a bit harshly.

Undyne let out a little growl, "What's your deal?"

At this, the dinosaur swiveled around in her computer chair to cast an angry glare up at the taller monster, "I don't know, Undyne. What do you think?"

"I think that you're acting like a straight up brat." She replied almost instantly.

The dinosaur growled, but judging by the tears in her eyes, it seemed half hearted.

Undyne leveled her a hard glare, stalking towards the chair where she promptly yanked her love by the collar of her lab coat up into the air. The fish crashed her lips roughly onto her lover's, putting all her emotion into their kiss. All her anger, hurt, and even sadness. Alphys' eyes widened in shock, her girlfriend had never treated her harshly like this, but before she could return the kiss or push her away, she found herself plopped back into the chair with a tearful Undyne stalking away towards the escalator, ready to leave. No matter what, Undyne held her head high and refused to let the tears fall. She wouldn't give her the satisfaction.

The kiss left Alphys so completely shocked and confused that her anger was instantly forgotten, her thoughts now focused on an upset fish. Alphys hurried out of the chair and rushed after her departing lover calling out for her. Undyne gave no inclination that she even heard her pleas to stay, not paying her any attention. It was only when the fish redressed that Alphys knew she was serious about leaving, yet she didn't even understand what was happening.

The dinosaur rushed after her girlfriend and grasped her wrist gently, "W-wait, wh-where are you going?"

Undyne yanked her wrist free, "Out."

"O-out where?" She practically begged while looking up at the fish monster.

"None of your business. Until you can get whatever this," She gestured towards her lover, "is under control, I'm not coming back. You can be angry all you want, but I'm not going to sit here and put up with this fighting. Especially when I haven't done anything wrong. So when you decide to calm down and speak like rational adults, give me a call."

And with that Undyne stormed out of the lab, leaving behind a thoroughly ashamed and upset Alphys.
