I want to share some romantic headcanons about my favorite ship, Mettalphys π₯°
Au Pacifist way: another story
πΈ Even back when he was a ghost, Happstablook, Mettaton fell in love with Alphys. He was captivated by that clumsy, silly lizard dork who ran around with anime posters and argued with him about some Mew Mew Kissy Cutie. She seemed to him the most beautiful soul in the entire Underground.
πΈ After getting his robotic body, Mettaton planned to win Alphys over. But star fever and his TV host career quickly pushed that beautiful feeling to the back burner. Years later, he bitterly regretted the lost time.
πΈ After reaching the Surface, Mettaton promised himself he would confess his love to Alphys. His career would no longer stand between them.
πΈ Alphys took her breakup with Undyne very hard. It was Mettaton who was there for her when she felt completely shattered. He didn't try to flirt or play the hero β he simply listened, watched anime with her, and surrounded her with care. Alphys gravitated toward him, but she felt unworthy. She believed she didn't deserve happiness and was afraid of hurting someone else, just as she had hurt Undyne. And so she pushed the robot away, even when she desperately wanted to pull him closer.
πΈ Mettaton didn't give up, even when Alphys started dating Dr. Michael β a human from the local clinic. Mettaton was jealous. Terribly. Childishly so. He even let Alphys go for a while, but after a good scolding from Undyne, he resumed fighting for his beloved. And he won.
πΈ Alphys gets genuinely upset when Mettaton fusses over her like a little child. But she understands the reason: in the first months on the Surface, when humans were clashing with monsters again, the robot almost lost his friends during one of the skirmishes. Since then, an anxiety virus has taken root in his programming: he is terrified that the beings dear to him could be erased from this world.
πΈ Mettaton and Alphys celebrate Valentine's Day following the traditions from their favorite anime: on February 14th, Alphys gives Mettaton chocolate she made with her own paws under Undyne and Asgore's guidance, and on March 14th, the robot presents his beloved with gifts in return, each time trying to outdo himself.
πΈ Mettaton collects designer scarves, but the most precious piece in his wardrobe is a crooked one, with a couple of holes and far too long β the one Alphys knitted for him with her own paws.
πΈ Mettaton loves sleeping while hugging Alphys's plump tail. He claims it's the best anti-stress pillow in the universe.
πΈ Alphys secretly (and sometimes blatantly) wears Mettaton's clothes. His t-shirts, rhinestone jackets, and even ties hang on her like a sack, filling the robot with both endearment and mild indignation that "a designer piece will get stretched out."
πΈ Exactly three years after reaching the Surface, Mettaton proposed his paw and soul to Alphys live on the news.
πΈ Undyne and Papyrus were the witnesses at their wedding. Mettaton resisted for a long time, deeming the loud skeleton's candidacy "incompatible with the image of a perfect celebration." But Alphys gave him a reproachful look, and Undyne threateningly tightened her grip on her spear. Mettaton surrendered, and Papyrus wept with happiness.
πΈ The robot and the lizard girl had their wedding in spring, when the sakura were in bloom. They spent their honeymoon in Japan. Alphys glowed with happiness, and Mettaton finally stopped playing the role of the flawless star and allowed himself to just... rest.
