The Call Of A Mute Heart

Chapter 35

This has to be my favorite chapter. I hope you all enjoy reading as much as I did writing it! :D

The darkened room lit up as you received a message on your phone. Its vibrations pulsed through the leather couch that you were currently lying on. You, lazily, stretched your arm up to pluck the phone off the arm of the couch. Your body refusing to move from its relaxed comfortable position. Bringing the phone to your face, you unlocked it as your eyes adjusted to the sudden change in brightness. The light blinding you for a few moments. A text message alert was flashing at you. Without even reading who it was from, you opened it.

Alphys 1:05 am

Um... Sorry if I'm intruding but we never heard back from you after we led the crowd away. Are you okay?

Whoops. After escaping the crowd and going to the Spider Diner, Alphys and Undyne had been the furthest thought from your mind. Mettaton had been right. Everything at Muffet's was delicious. So much so that you bought extras to bring home... which were now in the robot star's refrigerator.

Looking up from your phone, you looked behind you at the rather large robot who was currently asleep. The flickering light of the current show on the huge TV not bothering him in the slightest. He had one arm wrapped around the pillow that you two shared with the other draped languidly across your stomach. The fear of him rolling over and crushing you with his extremely heavy, metal body completely nonexistent.

Flipping your phone around and holding it aloft, you angled it so that you could get both yourself and Mettaton in frame before snapping a photo when the TV was at its brightest. You took a couple more before picking the best one. Sending it to Alphys with the caption 'What do you think?'

Man were you glad that you had set your phone to vibrate earlier. Glancing back at the robot, he continued on in his deep slumber. Had the sound been turned on, the camera shutter noise going off might have woken him up. That was something that you didn't want to happen.

You weren't sure as to what happened earlier in the day for Mettaton but by the time you both had returned to his penthouse, towards the end of your impromptu date, he was ragged. The poor guy tried to play it off but you could tell from his usual demeanor that the guy was tired. You had put the food in the fridge, got him to sit on the couch and set it up so his body could start charging, turned on the TV to a random movie channel, then settled on the couch next to him for a quiet movie night. Though you weren't sure how you got into the current position you were in. Regardless, you weren't about to complain.

Leaning backwards a bit, your back pressed gently against Mettaton's front. You would think that, with all the metal, your body would be poked at by the chest plate and the like. That wasn't the case. It wasn't uncomfortable. His body was a bit unforgiving but at the same time he had molded himself perfectly so that you were completely at ease. Lolling your head back, you could hear the fans whirring in his chest. The metal pleasantly warm and not cold like you had expected it to be. You closed your eyes and let out a silent content sigh. This was nice.

Your phone vibrating in your hand had you, begrudgingly, opening your eyes to read whatever Alphys had sent you. It was a seven part text of incomprehensible gibberish until the very last part.

Alphys 1:15 am

OMG! HE SFSDF SAID YES?!

Undyne 1:15 am

TOLD YA, PUNK! PAY UP!

Alphys must have shown the photo, you had sent, to her girlfriend. You couldn't help but silently chuckle at your friends' enthusiasm. You could just imagine Alphys groaning and handing Undyne the amount of money or whatever it was that she had lost in that bet. Speaking of those winnings...
