((Yay another chapter from meeeeeeeeヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ! Well, I hope you enjoy ;P Woooo 1120 words!))

~^^~

Gaster sat at his desk, starring at his paper work. He wasn't really doing anything...just starring at his work, as if it was going to do itself. It was like this for a while until-

"DAMMIT!", the scientist yelled, slamming his fists on his desk. He wasn't getting anywhere with his new coming, and possibly greatest, project so far. The CORE.

It had been a few months since he and his workers had started with the project, but now they've hit a road block on how to find a proper power source. It had been driving him mad.

He had been losing sleep working late hours in his lab. He barely even went home anymore, making his sons, Sans and Papyrus, worry.

"seriously, you need to take a day 'er two off Dings. losin' this much sleep is bad for 'ya and pap's is starting to worry; askin' me where you've been an' stuff."

" I don't have time to sleep, Sans. Not when the entire underground is depending on me."

"Aawwww, you can't stay a little longer?? I need someone to play with and Sans is always asleep!"

"I'm sorry Papyrus, but I need to get back to work. I promise as soon as I get back I'll play with you."

"If you say so..."

Gaster remember the conversations all too well. He didn't like having to put time for his sons on hold so he could stay in a stuffy old lab, doing nothing but coming up with useless ideas, but it was for the greater good of the underground, or so he thought...

He was so lost in thought he didn't hear the door to his lab open along large foot steps coming towards him.

By the time he came to, he realized that the one and only king of the underground was peering over his shoulder.

Gaster jumped when he saw him. "Gah!", he yelped and fell out of his chair. "Your majesty! You mustn't sneak up on me like like that!", he said as he gripped the edge of the desk, pulling himself up.

The king just laughed. "Oh Gaster, you always know how to make me laugh!", he bellowed holding a hand on his huge belly.
When Gaster finally steadied his self he didn't know how to feel. On one hand he was still surprised about how he didn't hear the king come in. One the other hand he wasn't too happy with the him laughing at his pain. But on the magical third hand he felt a little warm inside knowing that he could make the king laugh.

Lost once again in his mixed up mind he didn't notice the king staring at his features. Asgore had noticed he bags under his eyes and the several coffee cups on his desk.

"Gaster...", the king's soft voice broke the scientist out of his daze, "when was the last time you slept...?", he asked, his face riddled with concern.

"...", Gaster couldn't answer, for he did not know either. A very bad sign.

Finally, he spoke, "I'm sorry you majesty, but there's just no time for sleeping when I supposed to be coming up with more ideas for the CORE.", Gaster explained to the king, one of the very many monsters that have asked.

Asgore was silent for awhile, most likely processing what Gaster had said. Then without a word being said, he grabbed Gaster's hand, pulled him closer, and put a hand on his hip.

Gaster, not being filled in on the plan, he was A: Extremely confused and B: Extremely fluster, as it was clearly shown by his cheek bones turning a light purple.

'Omg, omg, omg, omg, omg, omg-', Gaster kept thing in his head over and over.

"You've been spending too much time on work Gaster and you need a break, so...", the king said, Gaster still in his hold, "will you dance with me?" Asgore wore a soft smile with a glint of hope in his eyes. Who could say no to that?

"I-if you wish, s-sire", Gaster replied, nodding his head. "No Gaster", the goat monster said, using a hand to tilt the scientist's
chin, "only if you wish to."

Gaster nodded, his blush deepening.

"Very well then", Asgore said, his smile growing. He lead Gaster to the middle of the room, and they began to dance.

It took a while for Gaster to get used to the waltz as he kept accidentally stepping on Asgore's feet or almost stumbling over his own. Each time he would apologize and curse to himself but Asgore only chuckled in response.

"You're getting better.", the king pointed out.
"Th-thank you, Sire." Gaster replied, his blush getting deeper, if that was even possible.

Asgore then lifted one of Gaster's arms and spun him around like a princess in a ball and ended it with a dip.

Gaster's eyes widened as he realized how close their faces were. Asgore only smiled and stood up, helping Gaster stand too.

"Well I think that's enough...for today", he mumbled the rest to himself and began to leave.

"Ah, I almost forgot", Asgore said , turning to Gaster and lifting his chin up, leaning down and planting a sweet kiss on his forehead. Walking back to the door, Asgore stopped.

"Oh and Gaster", he said over his shoulder, "I hope to see new ideas on the CORE concerning the power source.", he said with a sly smile. Gaster could only nod, his brain trying to process what the hell just happened.

"Good. I'll see you tomorrow." And with that, Asgore was gone.

Gaster stumbled back to his desk still dizzy from all the turning. He sat down and just...stared. He stared at the papers strewn across his desk. Then he looked back and stared at where the king stood, just a few seconds ago.

He then reached a boney hand to his forehead where to king had placed his soft lips.

Thinking back, he swore on his life when the king leaned down to kiss him, Gaster saw a pink tinting his cheeks.

Then he did something he hasn't done since he had started working on the CORE...

He smiled...
