(I'm baaaaack! And with a vengeance and a new story! I don't think I will be continuing my old ones, at least not anytime soon, but for now please feel free to enjoy this one!)
A Metta-TON of Trouble
Chapter 1: Uh-oh…
Mettaton always thought of Alphys as a mom. She cared for him and his body whenever it malfunctioned, she was there for him when he needed it, and what did he do in return? Jack squat. Nil. Nothing. Unless you counted berating her and her love of anime. That was something. Recently the bot was in one of his moods again, where he just acted like a total brat to everyone, especially those he liked to take it out on. Which included Burgerpants and Alphys to an extent.
It didn't help that Undyne had been visiting often, ever since Alphys made her a custom helmet to wear out in Hotland's weather. It resembled a fishbowl and was filled with water, and could attach to a water tank for Undyne to carry on her back so it was easy to remove when she was inside the lab. Seeing Undyne made the bot especially bad-tempered, like a child becoming jealous of a sibling. So of course Undyne was not spared Metta's sass.
"M-Mettaton! What is w-wrong with you!?" Alphys had scolded when the bot knocked over a ceramic pot in a cry for attention.
"You always spend time with Undyne! It's always Undyne, Undyne, Undyne! I need some love too!" He stomped a heeled foot.
"You're behaving like a little brat in need of a spanking. No wonder she doesn't want to deal with you right now." Undyne piped up, scowling at the bot.
"And I'm surprised Alphys even stands being around your sweaty, non-sexy sushi ass! At least SHE was able to tell the truth about the Amalga-whatevers! YOU can't even tell that tall skeleton he can't join the guard! You'd rather LIE to him like a little COWARD!"
Undyne's expression by the end of his tirade was both hurt and furious. Swiftly she glanced at her girlfriend, then the bot before stomping over to him and grabbing his wrist. "You shouldn't have said that, metal-head." She growled, and something about the way she said it made the bot's oil run cold with fear. He was so taken aback that ANYONE talked to him like that that he couldn't object to being dragged to his room, the door slamming behind the duo.
Alphys sighed, her palm slapping her face as she let Undyne do what she needed and went to work, intent on getting her mind off of this.
