but i probably shouldn't have told him, because it involved you. it was unfair not to think of your feelings on the matter.
i'm sorry.
i had a very bad day when i told him. i did not think he would bring something like that up publicly.
[Actually, on that same bad day, he'd spoken to Asriel and never, ever told him about what he said to Bucky. That makes it worse, doesn't it? Haha...he was supposed to be honest.]
[Asriel doesn't know what exactly Mettaton told Bucky, but he can't help but feel a little uncomfortable. What if Chara found out? What if Chara knew what happened, and understood just how little worth their brother really had? That at some point, some people decided that his worth amounted up to nothing more than a costume for other people to try on and wear.]
well, he didn't say it about me. i don't think he knows me.
i'm sorry he brought it up, and if me responding to it made you uncomfortable
[He almost wants to ask if it's okay for him to come over if he doesn't feel safe, but that sounds like a question a big cowardly baby would ask. He decides against it.
He decides to latch onto the other thing that Mettaton says.]
[Asriel still likes pillow forts. That sounds a-okay to him.]
we'll have to make a really big one, cause you're really tall
BUT OKAY GREAT because i was thinking, i saw some pasta but it was in the shape of stars and planets?? anyway it was really neat! and there were other shapes too like animals and stuff like that
Don't worry! I have plenty of pillows! ;) I'll even buy MORE!
...oh. OH!! THAT'S ADORABLE!!! WHERE DID YOU SEE IT?! I'LL BUY SOME RIGHT AWAY!!
[Ahaha. There it is. The enthusiasm. He's...not really fronting, surprisingly. He's just throwing himself into new plans, because it's easier to feign excitement and then get into it for real!]

[He had a pretty bad breakdown over it, actually. That's not new, except for the fact that he usually only did that near Asriel.]
i don't mind that you responded to it! i'm just afraid it hurt you
i would never wish to cause you stress Asriel
[Though every single response he gives screams stress on his end. Because that's fair of him to do, shoulder it all and take the blame.]

Date: 2017-03-13 06:28 am (UTC)[Ah, there's a little more...oomph.]
Also you should come over again sometime. I can cook you dinner, or we can just talk!
It's...been a little while, hasn't it?
[Look his life for a bit there was a bit rated R. He wasn't going to include Asriel in that.]no subject
Date: 2017-03-13 06:34 am (UTC)[It's... over now. Asriel has to keep reminding himself of that. No one's going to come and get him or Mettaton ever again.]
Okay, I'd like that. You don't have to cook anything, but I'd like to come visit.
no subject
Date: 2017-03-13 06:38 am (UTC)I'm close, and I'll protect you. Please believe that.
[He almost details how he would protect Asriel with gruesome detail, but...that's probably not the best thing to do.
Even with his extra LV, he has some sense of tact.]
Oh, honey, I LIKE cooking for you!
