Take Initiative.

[trustharder]

It seems things have been resolved - peacefully, if more than a little awkwardly for most parties involved. However, there's still work to do here, isn't there? Ryuunosuke shrugs after a long moment; tips his head up a bit. "Hey, Glory? Let everyone up." And apparently that's all it takes, though what that actually does isn't something that happens all at once - rather, panels slide out from the wall, forming a staircase up to that balcony they've been standing on. Mettaton doesn't really wait for the others to join them; he just leaves back through that section of wall they entered from, calling something back over his shoulder. "We've got another room to work from back here, darlings, this shouldn't take too long to work out." >Follow?

I do, don't worry.

...I'm kinda glad we're not dying. I'm definitely glad that you're not dying and I get to spend more time with you.

[ratingspoint]

You're not allowed to die until I do, you know.

[greatestcool]

Don't worry. I'll do everything I can to stay safe for you. But that's something you've gotta keep in mind too! You can't die until I do.

[ratingspoint]

...I'm not planning on dying anytime soon, don't worry.

[greatestcool]

Good! I'd be really upset if you did! You mean so much to me, so you'd better stay safe!

[ratingspoint]

Well, I did mean what I said about not making you lose anyone else...I don't actually know what my lifespan looks like when compared to a human's, but I hear monsters are usually pretty long-lived by comparison. So you don't have to worry about me, all right?

[greatestcool]

Oh don't worry, I'll be shocked if I hit thirty, so.

[ALSO SIGRUN IS GOING TO TRY TO WHIP HIM INTO SHAPE, HE'LL BE LUCKY IF HE HITS TWENTY-SIX]

But that's good. I really don't like worrying, you know.

[ratingspoint]

Oh, don't start with that.

[He means it, asshole, don't.]

[greatestcool]

Ahh, sorry... Old habits die really hard.

[HE ACTUALLY DOES LOOK BOTHERED BY THAT, OKAY...]

I really will do everything I can to stick around. I'm not going to leave you either, Mettaton. Not after everything we've been through.

[ratingspoint]

...Good.

[He does seem to relax a bit at that; it's...look, he managed to lose someone he's close to twice, once to suicide and once to murder, he's not going to take that well.]

That's...good, sweetheart.

[greatestcool]

I promise, alright? You know I try to keep my promises. I'll stay safe for you.

[...]

And I really am glad I'm not dying now. I get to spend more time with you and we get to go somewhere that's not here and see and do some new stuff. That's great! So... We'll eventually be okay. We've still got each other.

[He's not entirely sure they'll be okay, but at the very least they'll be less of a mess. That's something to celebrate, isn't it?]

[ratingspoint]

This is what we wanted, isn't it? To leave this place, to go somewhere else entirely... It's what we kept talking about.

I'm looking forward to it. All of it.

[greatestcool]

Yeah, it is. I didn't think it'd be like this, but I'm not going to complain. I really am excited! We get to spend more time together and it's going to be really cool!

[He will probably regret this the second he has to exercise, but until then it sounds fun!]

[ratingspoint]

I won't ever be far from you - we can spend all the time you want.

[greatestcool]

Thanks. I want to spend a lot of time with you! But you already knew that. You mean so much to me, Mettaton. I really am happy I got to meet you.

[ratingspoint]

Likewise, darling.

[...]

I understand if it's just a matter of not wanting to be alone, too, you know.

[greatestcool]

Well yeah, that's definitely part of it. I don't ever want to be alone again. But you're important to me and it's not like I'd replace you with anyone.

[He misses Silver. He'll always miss Silver. But Mettaton is important to him too, regardless of what happened.]
