A "Human" That Likes A Skeleton

A Christmas Party Invite

"Why, hello papy darling~" Mettaton hummed, returning the hug. The sound of rapid footsteps caught your attention and you drifted your eyes to upstairs only to see Sans rush downstairs with Gaster hot his tail-bone

"Why are you here, bucket of bolts?!" Sans accused, pointing a finger at Mettaton, it was then you got a good look. Sans looked down-right tired, but he also looked very angry, you could see it in his tightened smile, and down-cast sockets.

At Sans' words, Mettaton and Papyrus unlatched themselves from each other, Papyrus having a tint of orange coating his cheekbones, Mettaton looking a tidge bit annoyed but hiding it very well with a well-rehearsed smile

"Sans! What has happened to your manners?" Gaster exclaimed, finishing the rest of the stairs. Sans lowered his arm, but his sockets continued to stare at Mettaton. Mettaton, however, laughed softly "It's fine, Gaster, he's just a little paranoid" Sans seethed "And for good reason" you completely relaxed your posture and placed a hand on Sans' coat sleeve, snapping him from his deadly stare and directed his attention to you. Sans calmed down upon seeing your serene smile and breathed out roughly, turning to Mettaton, while sitting down

You did too and realized that she was looking at you two intently, you smiled up at the monster star and said patiently "If you could Mettaton, may you tell us why you are here?" Mettaton beamed at your words "Why, certainly darling. Although I always love to stop by to see you Papyrus~" Pap turned slightly more orange, and Sans tensed from his place beside you on the couch but loosened when you placed a hand on his knee "The real reason I came was because I wanted to invite all of you to a party that I will be hosting~!" Sans scoffed "Why didn't you just send one of your lackeys?" Gaster looked exasperated "Sans!" but Mettaton waved him off "Again, it is alright Gaster, like I had said before, I enjoy to stop by when I have a chance. So, I took coming here as an opportunity" Sans huffed and folded his arms leaning back on the couch

The muskets finally snapped out of their stupor, and Rose slowly walked up to Mettaton. Tapping her leg gently to try and get her attention, Mettaton looked down and gasped "Oh My! What is a cutie like you doing here~?" Rose blushed and smiled signing 'My name is Rose, it's wonderful to finally meet you Mettaton' Mettaton seemed taken aback, but smiled warmly, crouching down to Rose's level "And polite too~! It is an absolute pleasure to meet you as well young Rose, where do you get your manners from?" Rose pointed at you and you chuckled, smiling timidly, and raised a hand "Guilty as charged" you said

Mettaton smirked "Well, then I supposed a certain someone should get some lessons~" she said pointedly looking at Sans. Sans narrowed his sockets Mettaton smirked and straightened "Well, it's been fun but I've got to go~" Elijah stepped forward "Wait, what kind of outfits do we have to wear?" Mettaton thought a bit "I would think formal~" you paled slightly. You didn't own any dresses or suits unless you counted the too-small one that you gave to Rose that was more of a sundress than anything

"Oh, that could be a problem..." you mumbled Mettaton caught on and turned to you "And why is that darling~?" you placed your hands in your lap silently wringing them "Well, we don't really own any formal clothes" you gestured to your siblings, blushing out of embarrassment. They nodded and when you heard the dramatic gasp you nearly jumped out of your skin

"Well, this is a travesty~!! We need to get you proper clothes, c'mon darling, I'll take you shopping~" you were confused by this sudden offer, Sans shifted uncomfortably beside you "N-Now?" you asked and Mettaton nodded decidedly "Yes, now, is that a problem?" you shook your head and Mettaton clapped her hands together "Wonderful~ I will be waiting in the car~"

The next thing you know Metta's gone and the musket's look just as confused as you feel, however, Sans looks like he's trying to keep his cool. You blow out a puff of air and say "Welp, I guess we're going shopping" agrian groaned "do we have to go?" you laughed, standing up "No, you don't if you don't want to. Is that okay Gaster?" Gaster chuckled "Of course, (Y/n)" you smiled and rushed upstairs to get slightly a bit more ready to go outside

Apparently Sans followed you for when you pulled out a warmer coat he was standing in the doorway "I don't think you should go" you smiled "Why not? It's just a little shopping" Sans sighed, looking tired "I just don't want somethin' to happen to you" you laughed "What, with the training you gave me last night? I'll be fine, Sans, I promise" Sans sighed again and suddenly hugged you.

You took an intake of breath and blushed slightly, hugging him back. When you pulled away you found that Sans' sockets were filled with something you couldn't place, but you smiled at him and told him to take a nap cause he looked like a teenager that woke up by an alarm clock for school

After that, you rushed down the stairs to find the muskets finishing the tree and decorating the rest of the house, saying goodbye you ran to the sleek black limo that was supposedly Mettaton's car, when you entered you found it was lined by a pink interior "Ah there you are darling, I think our first stop will be to get you a dress~!" and with that the driver drove down the road.

Later, Mettaton decided to ask you a question "So, darling, what do you think of Sans~?" you blinked at the sudden question, sadly resulting in you blushing a bit. trying in vain to calm down your face you said as calmly as possible "I think he's a pretty punny guy and I like him as a friend"

Ok, that was a lie and you knew it, it even hurt you to say those words, in the time you got to know him, it's safe to say you've fallen, and you've fallen Hard for the skeleton.

Mettaton hummed a small smile playing on her metallic face. Before she could ask another question however you fired one of your own, your blush slightly worse "S-So! When is this party anyway?" Mettaton looked like she didn't wasn't to let the subject go but she answered anyway "It's going to start a week from today~"

you nodded and felt the limo come to a stop. Mettaton clapped her hands to together "Oh~! We're here~" she opened the door and got out, you followed her and looked at the shop in front of you "Forever 21..." you murmured

Welp. I guess this just got exciting
