Summary: Wonderland’s musical duo goes caroling door to door!
The Story:

Not long after the sun slips under Wonderland’s horizon, anyone who is in their room will hear a sharp rapping at their bedroom door. Upon opening, they will see two Monsters: a robot dressed quite sexily and a ghost dressed quite cutely.

“uh…. hi….. um….. Merry gyft-uh-Christmas!” The ghost gives a shy smile. “we were, uh, wondering if you’d like to hear some carols? it’s okay if you don’t, haha”

Mettaton in turn gives a bombastic grin, reaching out a hand to keep the door open. “We know you want to; you don’t need to say anything.”

“oh uh….” Napstablook looks hurriedly between the robot and the room’s occupant(s), going a shade transparent, the antlers sinking a bit before they remember to stay corporeal. “uhm… okay well… the first song we have is, um…. Carol of the Bells? we, uh, only learned it last week so-“

“You’ll be sure to enjoy our musical genius! Now, let’s get started, shall we?”

He looks to his fellow caroling companion, waiting for the beginning cue. The ghost gathers themself for a moment, and begins to sing, their voice starting out soft and gradually gaining volume.

”Hark how the bells, sweet silver bells, all seem to say ‘throw cares away…’”

Mettaton chimes in with the next part, and as he sings it quickly becomes apparent that his voice is covering the other three parts of the song. Napstablook’s somewhat eerie soprano floats easily over the robot’s almost-too-perfect harmony as the song swells to its climax, with all four parts singing together.

“Gaily they ring, while people sing songs of good cheer, Christmas is here”

The song’s intensity lessens, unwinding back to just Napstablook’s voice, the beat slowing down. Both monsters seem to take a breath together even though neither of them actually breathe, and they chime in together for the last tones of the bells, Mettaton singing the final, solemn note.

There’s a moment after the song ends where it seems to still hang in the air, and then that moment is broken when the pair breaks into smiles.

[[Note- Please specify if you want one or both of the cousins to reply to your post! If it’s just a thread with Napstablook, Mettaton will say something about it being time for their solo and leave a very nervous ghost at your doorstep.]]

Something about the pointed way Napstablook's eyes are fixed on Mettaton, the expectantly peevish tone of their voice, tells Coraline that they're trying to have an adult conversation that sails right over her head.

Well Coraline Jones ain't having none of that!

She twirls her holiday hat in her hands as they walk (see: float) on toward the next door to carol at, eyeing the two suspiciusly

"Sooooo did both of you know this waffle-guy, or what?"

Mettaton laughs a little. He figured Coraline would catch on eventually since she's a very perceptive girl.

"Napstablook has talked about him a lot in the past so I know more about him than what most people find usual."

Which isn't technically a lie. It's just a creative stretching of the truth.
