"U-umm.." She stuttered, her vocal cords not really working under Lust's smoldering gaze. Wow, he was so beautiful. "I'll just g-give him a checkup."

She pulled a stethoscope out of her bag, approaching Papyrus. Papyrus continued to rub Lust's arms in reassurance, but it was obvious from Lust's face and stiff posture that he did not want Papyrus to touch him.

"Here, you're shaking." Lust suddenly said quietly. He reached out to hold Alphys's outstretched hand in his, guiding it to his sternum with practiced hands.

Alphys froze as Lust's melodic voice rolled over her. It was deep, but not overly so, and very rhythmic. His hand was gentle, and he guided the hand holding the stethoscope right to the correct place to hear his soulbeat.

Blushing profusely, she looked up at Lust as she listened to his soul pulse softly in her ear. Lust had an amused smile playing on his face. That only made her blush more.

"H-How did you know where to place the chestpiece? Most people get it wrong the first time." Alphys stuttered.

Lust smirked playfully. "Just as how you know to put the eartips, not the binaurals, into your ears." He replied jokingly, raising an eyebrow ridge.

Alphys's eyes widened, unsuccessfully holding back a snort. He was good. Obviously much smarter than the average monster. Maybe he had been into science at one time or another?

She awkwardly turned back to the task at hand. Lust's soulbeat was a little weak, but other than that, it sounded pretty stable. She put up the stethoscope, taking out a temporal thermometer and measuring Lust's temperature.

He did have a dangerously high fever. Alphys looked up at Papyrus. "His fever is really high. Do you have any idea how it got this bad?"

Papyrus looked down, stroking Lust's ears. Lust's eye-socket twitched, but other than that, he didn't give any indication that he felt it. "Well, he was out in the snow for a few hours with barely any clothes on one day." Papyrus mused.

Alphys's eyebrows scrunched together in concern. "Well, that's obviously the reason. Why was he even out without proper clothes?" She looked at Lust's oversized black and red sweater.

Papyrus followed her gaze. "I don't really have any clothes for him. He's actually wearing my sweater right now."

"What!? Is he wearing anything else?"
"No." Papyrus replied bluntly.

Alphys's face heated up as she realised that Lust was practically naked. "Th-That's your problem right there! You really should give him more clothes, or he'll get cold easily."

As if on cue, Lust shivered. Papyrus wrapped his arms around him, looking down in concern. "Alright. I'll get him new clothes soon. What else should I do?"

"Umm, give him hot soup and wrap him in blankets. You'll have to monitor his temperature, because he'll fluctuate between extreme cold and hot. When he's hot, let him cool off, but when he's cold, make sure he has proper layers around him."

"Ok." Papyrus hugged Lust to his ribcage. He didn't want that yellow lizard to be here any longer than she had to. "That'll be all. Sans, lead Dr. Alphys to the door. I think she's finished."

Fell, who had been standing silently on the side watching, looked up. He walked out the door, motioning for Alphys to follow.

Alphys picked up her bag, scurrying out the door. She paused at the door frame, staring back at Lust. He caught her eye, smiling gently at her. She blushed, then hurried to leave.
