Chapter 15

What the frick frack paddy whack, almost 850 reads? :0

On advice from a concerned Undyne, Papyrus decided to give it a few hours before confronting the upset Mettaton.

In the meantime though, he hung out with Undyne while she closed up the resteraunt, and caught her up on his life.

"Mhm." She wiped off dishes with amazing speed. "Welp, you screwed up Papyrus. I'd say if it was damaging to Sans, it's gonna be damaging to Mettaton. You were walking into a sensitive area, Paps." She threw a knife in the air and it landed perfectly in the sink.

Papyrus fiddled with his sprite can. "I was just curious....I want to know why he lied to me!"

"Agressively bringing it up and demanding he tell you ain't gonna do it."

"Like you should talk," He snorted in response.

She chuckled and kept drying the dishes. After a while she glanced up at the clock. "I'm supposed to meet Alphys in a few, you should get going." She hung up her apron and ushered him out.

"Thanks Undyne..." Papyrus sighed and walked out.

He took his time journeying to Mettatons apartment and even hesitated a little before knocking on his door. "Metta?" He said softly. He shuffled around on the landing.

"Excuse me..." A very quiet voice said from behind him. Papyrus whipped around and saw Blooky standing there with groceries.

"Hello Napstablook, you live here too?" Papyrus said kindly.

"No, but my cousin needed me." He answered stiffly.

"He told you about this afternoon?" Papyrus said, not surprised.

"Again, no...but I took one look at him and knew he needed Ben and Jerry's." Napstablook pushed past him and knocked on the door. "Mettaton I'm back, and I brought your favorite..."

There was a bit of shuffling and a thump and a very strained voice called: "It's open!"

Napstablook opened the door and started to step in, before looking over at Papyrus. "Would you like to come in too?"

Papyrus nodded sadly and walked in after him. The apartment hadn't really changed since last time Papyrus had been here, except that there was a framed photo of them hugging, sitting on the counter. Mettaton's bed room door was shut.

"Papyrus, right? He's told me a lot about you." Napstablook set down the bags and started to take out the groceries, ice cream, chocolate milk, fruit loops. Papyrus knew from experience that although Mettaton was a great cook, he was often to lazy to cook anything.

"Yes. Listen, this afternoon something happened and I wanted to apologize." Papyrus started forward to help put away the groceries.

Napstablook held up his hand to stop him. "Then go do it." He pointed to the bedroom door.

Papyrus took a deep breath and knocked on it. There was shuffling from inside it and Mettaton threw open the door. "Blooky did you remember to ge-." He stopped short when he saw Papyrus.

Papyrus smiled at him awkwardly before rushing out the words, "MettatonImsorrypleaseforgivemeimsorryididntknowitwasasensitivetopic." And stopped to catch his breath. "I beg of you to forgive me-"

Mettaton held up his hand, identical to the wait Napstablook had seconds before. "You need to hear my side of the story before we continue any further." His voice fell. This would mean revealing his most guarded secret. Was he really ready to tell Papyrus? Sure they were close, but...

"Come on in, we need to talk."
