[Mettaton is quiet for a moment, mulling over Sans's words. When he speaks, his tone is quieter than usual, almost hesitant in the vulnerability it shows.]

I think you still have a future back home as well. If you can advance so well here, I think with enough love and support from your friends, you can get there again. I just wish I could say I'd be one of those people.

[He winces as he says that last line, Wonderland gently pulling his feelings out into the open. The flirting, at least, seems to put him back onto his feet and he tries to shake off the depth of emotion with a quick laugh.]

I don't think I want you to defend yourself. It's cute how embarrassed you get. It encourages me more. If it ever truly is too much for you though, please let me know. I don't want to make you uncomfortable.

[He's worked too hard to try and be understanding of other people and their boundaries to ruin things now because he's swept up in the moment.

Quietly he's grateful for Sans saying nothing.]

It just feels so rude. Like an invasion of privacy by Wonderland and forcing all of us to invade everyone else's privacy on top of it.
