Our Passion For You (Completed)

Chapter 20

Sans watched as his younger brother rushed through the house with something in his arms. Just as he stood and opened his mouth to ask what he was doing, Papyrus had ran upstairs to the  bathroom and slammed the door behind him. Sans stood there puzzled. What the hell was the skeleton doing up there? He hadn't even greeted his sibling like he usually did when he came home and what the hell was that he was carrying?

 Papyrus gently laid Mettaton on the bathroom floor whilst he started the bath before he woke. He didn't want the bot to wake up with the evidence of what happened to him back there. He was panicing a bit as he slowly but respectfully unraveled his cape from Mettaton's delicate body. He ignored the exposed skin of the star and used his strength to place him in the warm water. He looked at him as he started to wash off every part of his body, trying desperately to rid of those bastard's marks, fluids and whatever else they left on the small robot.

To Papyrus' surprise his crush didn't wake as he carefully lifted him out the tub and dried him off. Once again the skeleton laid him on the floor where he left him to throw his clothes in the wash down in the basement. He tried to hurry but as he stuffed them in the wash Sans called out. "Paps? Hey, mind telling me what the hell you're doing? Everything alright?" 

His brother turned to look at him after pressing the start button on the machine. "I can't talk right now. You need to leave me alone for a few. Just hold on alright? Don't come upstairs." He spoke so fast that he was losing oxygen, struggling to stop and take in a deep breath. "Woah. Wait paps, are you in trouble? Just tell me if you're in any trouble. You're really scaring me alright? You okay?" He raised a hand to block his sibling from going anywhere. He took notice of the scratches and bruising spread across the other skeleton's face. The taller of the two blew air out of his nose in annoyance. "Just let me fix this. I need to get past!" He quickly rushed passed him again and ran back to the bathroom, leaving Sans even more confused. His heart raced as he went after him despite his words not to.

Papyrus looked down to see Mettaton still unconscious. He picked him up once again and screamed as soon as he saw his short brother blocking his exit. He hadn't even heard him following after him. "What the hell? What's going on?" There was no hiding Mettaton from his view now. He became slightly angered as his brother did what he wanted despite his warning not to come upstairs. It was just like him to do that so why the hell was he surprised? "Just move! I'm sorry brother but he needs help. Call Alphys please. Help me...." His facial expression changed as he frowned and locked eyes with the other. Sans glanced at the bot again and then at his brother. "Alright." Was all he said before descending down the stairs to call the doctor on the house phone. 

Papyrus smiled a bit as Sans did what he was told for once. He carried Mettaton to his room, laying him on the bed. He finished drying him off and rummaged in his closet to get Mettaton anything to cover himself with. He didn't think that the star would appreciate being naked in an unknown room. 

The skeleton found a shirt that he was sure Mettaton could wear although it would be long on him. He also found a pair of boxers that wasn't too skimpy for the poor bot. It had two hearts on either side of the black material but that's all. Papyrus definitely had worse in his draws. He moved the machine's dark hair away from his eyes and rubbed his cheek. "You'll be al-" He stopped as he drew in a sharp breath, rubbing his ribs. He hadn't tended to his own wounds as he was too busy looking after Mettaton. He sat on the floor and breathed steadily, tring to calm himself before Alphys got here.

Sometime the doctor had arrived, asking Sans what was going on exactly. But the only thing that he could share was that Papyrus was worried about her creation and the other skeleton came back hurt but it seemed that Mettaton wasn't responding. The dinosaur asked him to take her to her friend and he did so as quickly as he could. He carefully knocked on his brother's bedroom door. "paps? She's here." He said in a low but sad voice. 

Papyrus perked up and opened the door, moving aside so Alphys could come in and tend to the robot. With tears blocking her vision, she raised a shaky hand and laid it on his cheek. "M-M-" She stopped to clear her throat. "Mettaton?" She rubbed the soft skin under her fingertips and shook him a bit. "Wake up." The dinosaur glanced at the two brothers watching from the doorway. They too looked worried for the bot. "Uh...um. Could you boys leave me with him for a minute? I don't want him to be overwhelmed when he wakes." She let out softly. Sans nodded and tried pushing his sibling out the way so Alphys could do her thing. But the skeleton didn't budge. "Will you tell me if he's alright?" She nodded and shooed them away but stopped once she caught sight of Papyrus' wounds. "Actually....Papyrus I would like you to stay so I can also tend to you. Come sit next to me." He did as told and closed the door after Sans. 

Alphys turned to her other friend and spoke. "What...what the hell happened?" The tall skeleton wasted no time in telling her what took place at the waterfalls. He wasn't sure how to describe why he had stepped in to save Mettaton from the monsters who were just doing what everyone does in the underground. But as soon as the bot had called him out for help, he swooped into action and wasted no time in saving the poor thing. "It....It's strange. I mean I've walked in on other monster's but this was different. It was almost like he didn't enjoy it? Is that even possible for anyone here?" The scientist looked at her best friend on the bed and then back at the skeleton. 

"I....that's not my place to tell you anything about that. Here, I packed an ice pack. Use it for your injuries and then I'll clean them for you. Just let me wake him first." He didn't sat anything else as he watched her place both her hands on either side of her creation's face and speak. "Mettaton. Please wake up?"

It took a few seconds until the robot opened his beautiful pink eyes, locking them imeddiately with her's. "Alphys?" He said slowly while sitting up. "What....where are we?" He quickly looked over at the familiar face in the strange and unknown room. "Papyrus? What are we doing here? What happened?"
