[Papyrus can't help grinning. He's used to his many messages getting a polite reply or none at all, and to hear that Mettaton got them and wasn't annoyed...
Well.
It just feels nice, like a warmth that blossoms deep in his bones. Mettaton cares about him. Missed him when he was gone. It was okay that he did something foolish while he was upset, Sans did that sort of thing too sometimes. And he'd be a poor morale officer if he didn't know how to help people discover the good even in the worst of what was happening, right?
Somehow, the last bit has him grinning even more. He liked to imagine his greatness being noticed by Mettaton, back when he lived in the Underground and watched all his movies and bought everything with MTT on the label, but everything that's happened on the ship has felt like dreams coming true. He and Mettaton really are cool friends. They hang out and cheer each other on and it's just...
It's been great. Having friends is even better than he imagined.]
