Another commission, this time for Eroshiyda on Tumblr. Some Alphyne fluff for the soul!


"Okay, I'm off now." Undyne's feet clatter against the stairs. She moves through the living room at such a high speed, Alphys needs to lay one claw on her papers to keep them from flying their way off the table.

"A-Alright," She says, talking to Undyne's turned back since her girlfriend is busy pillaging the fridge. "How long will you be again?"

Undyne rubs one hand along her mouth before responding. "Not sure yet. You know how it gets."

Alphys opens her mouth to muster a response, but before she can, the whirlwind that is Undyne flies by her again, giving her a quick kiss in passing before slamming the door behind her.

She sighs into the empty room, and stands up to retrieve her papers from the floor.


The outside of the window is a pitch-black when she hears the sound of the lock clicking open.

"You're home late..." Alphys mumbles, sitting up until the fuzzy blanket covering her slides off her shoulders to bunch in her lap instead.

Undyne freezes by the door, for a second looking as if she's been caught sneaking in like an unobedient teenager. Then she grins. "Yeah, I'm sorry. I hope you didn't stay up on purpose?"

Alphys shakes her head as her girlfriend tiptoes her way over, dropping down beside her with a satisfied sigh. Undyne looks at her and the smile falters.

"What's wrong?" Her voice sounds guilty, as if she already expects that whatever it is, it's her fault. Alphys doesn't like it when she sounds like that.

"It's nothing," she says quickly, fidgeting with the edges of the blanket and ignoring how her claws poke small holes in it. She swallows and it tastes bitter.

For a second, Undyne doesn't say anything. She lays a hand against the back of the Alphys' head and suddenly leans in real close.

Even after months of dating, Alphys can still feel her entire face heat up at the physical contact.

"Don't lie to me," Undyne whispers, and her voice is soft, fragile, nothing like what she sounds like normally. A sound only Alphys is ever allowed to hear. "Remember to talk to me."

She swallows, thinking of how hard it was, back when they just reached the surface, how much pain she caused them all. How much forgiveness they granted her. How much love she found.

"I'm sorry." It almost doesn't come out. "It's just that..." She pauses and worries at the edges of the blanket some more, watching it fray beneath her fingers.

Undyne waits patiently for her to continue.

"Aren't you getting bored of me?"

At first, Undyne can only blink at her before bursting out in laughter.

Alphys is pretty sure her face is brighter than a tomato by now.

Undyne crushes her so hard against her chest it's impeding her breathing a little bit. "Why would you even think that, you nerd?"

It's difficult to talk through the crushing of her lungs and the doubt relenting in her head. "I don't know, you're always ou-out and doing exciting things. Things I'm uh... not so good with. I thought that maybe you-"

Undyne laughs again and this time she sounds a lot surer of herself, something giddy and excited. "Oh, is that all."

Alphys isn't sure how to respond to that, so she doesn't. She's just able to crane her neck up and gaze into her girlfriend's golden eyes, the most beautiful eyes she has ever seen, feeling Undyne's soulbeat against her skin.

"You really don't need to worry about that, Al. You really don't," she says, one sharp fang barely peeking over the edge of her parted lips.

"How are you so sure?" Alphys hates the skepticism clouding her own voice, the thin layer of self-hate that always coats everything for her.

Undyne smiles against her skin, against her forehead. It's warm and nice and she wants it to never stop. "Because I love you, silly."

She exhales, shakily almost. "I love you too."

"I know, you dork." Undyne releases her and pushes both of them against the cushions instead, finding the discarded blanket and covering themselves with it. "But since we're both awake anyway, how about we watch another episode of that thing with the blades and the giant naked people."

"When you say it like that it sounds really stupid, you know," Alphys complains meekly, but she leans into her girlfriend and reaches for the remote anyway.


As always, thank you for the lovely comments.
