another papyton one shot because i cant sleep and im desperate.
prompt: "what made you choose me" "Have you met yourself???" type convo
warning: papyrus has anxiety and self esteem issues in this. humans are cruel and this is set in the above world after a few years. Mettaton has issues too but they don't show here
The question had caught Mettaton off guard. They had just been on tons couch watching Gordan Ramsey when papyrus spring up the question that has his jaw on the ground.
"Ton? Did i say something wrong? Mettaton?" Papyrus was starting to sound concerned, scared even. Hearing the change in his boyfriends voice shakes ton out of his little stupor. He laughs lightly shaking his head.
" No, No darling you didn't say anything wrong i just wasn't prepared for that. What do you mean what do I see in you?" People would assume mettaton's self-centered attitude and confidence would follow him into the home life but he really is attentive to his partner. He always makes it a point to hear what papyrus has to say even if papyrus doesn't know it.
Papyrus starts to fidget in his seat sitting up from their previous cuddle position. "well I mean, I know you love me, you say it often, but I don't understand why. What's so special around me? You work with so many amazing people in the movie and music scene so I just.... cant help but wonder..."
"Oh papyrus sweetie, you are the kindest soul I've ever met. Everything you do you put your all into, you were the first person in a long time who saw me. You treated me like I was just another person in the family despite being my biggest fan. In all the time I've known you I have never once seen you judge which form I take. Mettaton, EX, the ghost you've loved me the same every time. That's why, and just maybe I love the sweet a dorky skeleton who wooed me so confidently with homemade spaghetti just because he is who he is unashamedly. I just love you, all you are flaws and all, and I will do everything in my not so limited power to remind you of that every day." Ton goes on a ramble sitting up with papyrus taking a light but genuine tone. He gently takes one of pap's hands while he's talking grinning when he manages to make the skeleton flustered.
" Wowie i uh- nyeheh "
"Aww your so cute when you get flustered, will a kiss help?"
The answer was no but who is papyrus to deny a kiss, He will never deny affection from ton. Not when those cuddles and kisses make all those bad thoughts magically disappear.
"You know i think you are right mettaton! i am the great papyrus after all!" That mantra he uses when he doubts it. Ton knows it well and smiles softly pulling papyrus into a hug kissing the top of his skull.
"There you go! You are the best, I love you papyrus.."
"i love you too mettaton..... thank you."
