here is a snippet of it
♡♡♡
somewhere at the exterior of Mariette's home, there was a secret garden where most of the echo flowers remain, but they were smaller and much quieter than the rest in Waterfall. there were glowing mushrooms and magical plants & flowers all around the garden. the place was dark but dim, peacefully quiet, a bit cold, but also wet; it is exactly how Mariette likes it. a perfect atmosphere. Mariette had been sitting on her knees in front of a pond and stared at her reflection in the water for a moment. she was tearing up. "why you are so stupid!!!" she cursed as she splashed the water where she saw her face and started to cry. Mettaton overheard this and said from behind, "darling..?"
Mariette gasped and whispered, "h-how did you get here!?"
"you left the gate open..... and from then on i faintly heard your sounds.." Mettaton blushed as he scratched the back of his head.
"oh."
they were both quiet for a while until Mettaton broke the silence, "whats wrong..? please talk to me, sweetie, you seem to be troubling yourself. unless...i did something wrong. im sorry."
Mariette reassured him, "n-no it's not you!! i promise! it's just....me." she said the last part very quietly.
"what do you mean?"
"what do you mean "what do i mean"?"
Mettaton stopped to think. and said, "well for one.. i recently noticed you have been putting yourself down lately.. you often don't give yourself a chance to speak or express your thoughts but i know you have something in your heart that you are keeping.. from mine. i have.. noticed you sometimes grow distant from me. so please.. talk to me heart-to-heart, angel."
those words. hearing Mettaton call Mariette 'angel' and such loving nicknames always makes Mariette's heart flutter and fill her insides with butterflies. she knows Mettaton calls everyone 'darling', but for some reason she can't help but wonder if she's the only person he used other nicknames on. to her, it seemed rare. thinking about this, Mariette slowly shifted closer to Mettaton as he sat next to her on the ground. he wrapped his arm around her and moved her body closer to his. he could feel her heartbeat, racing fast like a prey animal in shock. he can't blame her. Mariette is very much like a rabbit, and a very anxious person. he could imagine she feels this way almost all the time. she's scared.. Mettaton thought, and he gently pulled her into a close hug.
Mariette feels Mettaton's heartbeat as well, the visible heart on his robot body. it doesn't feel human, as his body is artificial and robotic, but it does beat very similarly to a human. it must have been the wonders of metal and magic done by Alphys. his heartbeat is rather slow. i love him so much, i wish i could tell him... Mariette thought and sighed softly. she hesitantly, but slowly, took Mettaton's hand in a shy manner. "Mettaton, i..." she paused,
"i am in love with you."
those six words slipped out of Mariette's mouth raw and clear, it's too late to go back, and she had finally expressed the biggest feeling in her heart for an undying long time. "i have felt so nervous around you and unsure of myself because. every time i see you i just do not know what to do or say. my heart is filled with so much thoughts of you. and i mean so much... but i also hate myself.. you have so many friends, everyone loves you and respects you. me..? im just a nobody who keeps to herself! im unloveable. but you.. you always make my heart skip a beat. i want to be closer to you i want to spend time with you and i want to do things for you and i know i sound crazy but i am. just so.. deeply..." Mariette has trailed off so much by now that before she could try to finish her sentence, she froze again, and Mettaton suddenly kissed her on the lips. he was cold, but his lips felt surprisingly a bit warm. Mariette was startled at the gesture at first but since Mettaton initiated, she calmed her nerves to wrap her arms around him and enjoy the kiss.
