Chapter Text
“Darling!” A robotic voice called to you from across the room.
Looking up from your laptop as you were seated on one of his couches, Mettaton was smiling sweetly as he strutted over. His arms were holding what looked like a bunch of magazines. “What?”
“Where do you want to go?” He asked, plopping himself on the couch beside you. Releasing the stacks onto the coffee table, you glanced over; travel magazines.
“What are you talking about? We’re going somewhere?” You asked, furrowing your brow bone.
Mettaton chuckled. “Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten your very own birthday. You know, two weeks from now? It’s hearted and starred on my calendar, I can’t even see the days of the week surrounding it.”
“Oh, I mean, yeah. I know it’s my birthday, but what does that have to do with going somewhere?”
“Oh don’t play dumb, darling. But, if you want me to play along, I will. We’re going on a birthday vacation.” He smiled.
You pursed your lips and paused a moment. This was the first time you were hearing any of this. “I don’t need that.”
“What are you talking about, dear?” He chuckled. “Of course you do! We have to celebrate in style, it’s not every day you have a birthday.”
“But it is every year.” you retorted. “But, I don’t want to go anywhere. I’m fine with just a little party or something.”
Mettaton gave you a look, you know, the look he gave you when you said something that he completely disagreed with. “But, sweetheart. You shouldn’t settle for just a little party, we have to go big! You deserve the world! I want to give you everything you could ever want!”
You shut your laptop as a weak laugh escaped your lips. “Oh, Mettaton~” Setting your laptop down on the table with the slew of magazines, you scooted closer to your metal boyfriend. Leaning against him, you rested your head against his arm. “I have everything - I have you! I don’t need anything extravagant or fancy. As long as you’re by my side, I have everything I could want.”
It took a moment to hear anything from Mettaton in response. The first thing you heard tho, was the hum of his internal fans grow in volume. “Oh, darling.” He said in a soft, sweet tone, pausing before proceeding.
“You’re my little everything.”
