((Here we go!!! I'm hoping to wrap up this book pretty soon and start on a Sans X Reader or a Fire Emblem One Shot book!! Mature language warning (I'll try to cover it up!)))

I could literally feel the steam coming off my head. I was boiling with rage, and if I were in a cartoon, I'm pretty sure steam would be coming out of my ears.

There was no way Mary was serious, right?! Grillby would never kiss such a horrible creature! Plus, Mary is practically known for being a filthy liar!

But then again, that's just me trying to get myself to process the fact that there might be that possibility that Grillby actually did do the unthinkable.

I realized I was breathing heavily, and I hadn't responded to Mary. But you know what? There's really no need to respond to such a b*tch at this point.

I stood up and shoved everything and everyone in my path aside in a hurry to get home. My head was spinning, and I wasn't sure all this stress was good for my health. I could feel myself become cold.

As soon as I got home I practically threw myself in front on the fridge in search of some water. The second I spotted a bottle of water, I reached for it and gulped in down in seconds.

Then I called up Grillby for the second time today.

"(Y/N)? It's really late...*yawn*...what's up?" Grillby asked, his cute, sleepy voice softening my heart for just a second before my mind told my heart to not give in after what I had just heard.

So my heart harden ended and I scowled. "This is important. Did you kiss Mary?" I asked firmly. Grillby only responded with silence, and the more time that passed with nothing said, the more nervous and angry I began to get.

"...figures she would tell...look, I'd love to explain, but I really really really am tired...."

"Can you please try to explain?"

He let out a sigh and grumbled to himself. I tapped my foot against the kitchen tile impatiently.

"Okay, yes...me and Mary kissed, twice." Grillby admitted. I didn't know why I was so surprised, and all I could choke out was, "what...?" And it was a pretty weak one, too.

"She forced herself onto me right after our date, then when I was out and hanging out with Sans, she pretended to be my girlfriend and kissed me again before I told her to not kiss me ever again...please don't be mad...I'll be honest, I hate her guts too!" He sighed again and sounded really glum about this.

"Are you mad at me...? Please stay with me (Y/N)....I didn't mean to let her kiss me...I'm...*yawn* sorry...." He sounded so cute and so sad, I really couldn't help myself from forgiving him. He sounded like a sleepy puppy who was begging to have me stay with them, despite them almost falling asleep.

My heart told me to forgive and forget, and my brain seemed to consent with my heart and told me this: Love is war at this point. You want Grillby to yourself? You better learn to protect him, or Mary will get him.

And that was that. My head had made up its mind and it was settled. "I'm so glad you hate her too....I was hoping you'd say that..." I said, relieved, "Have a good rest! I'll talk to you more in the morning." I chimed sweetly.

"Mhm...thank you (Y/N)...I love you...~" He cooed and hung up. I curled my hand into a fist and jumped into my bed. "Get ready Mary. I'm not going easy on you anymore. You should've enjoyed the day when I was still nice."

((TIME SKIP))

Today was a school day, so I had to force myself early out of bed and decided to catch up with Undyne and Alphys today.

I wanted to keep our friendship strong and make sure it wasn't awkward between us now that I had a boyfriend Besides, they third wheel me all the time since they're dating!

"Hey!" I called out to them and did a little jog over to them. They smiled at me, but Undyne seemed a little upset. I decided to brush it off and acted normal.

"So, how are you all?" I asked. "I'm good!" Alphys said happily. "How about you, Undyne?" I asked, but she only looked at her feet. "Undyne...?" I asked, a bit worried this time.

"(Y/N)..." Undyne mumbled and let out a small sigh. Alphys seemed as confused as me. I waited for her to say something else. I had never seen her like this before.

"I...I think we should stop hanging out together." She mustered out, making sure not to look me in the eyes. I felt my heart skip a beat and suddenly my face went pale.

Undyne acted quickly. I had never felt someone leave so fast in my entire life. Time moved too fast, as I saw Undyne quickly reach for Alphys hand and give her a sad look.

Alphys looked so confused... Undyne hurried off and dragged Alphys away with her. I could feel my heart sink as I watched them walk out of my life.

They walked so fast...why? I had reached my limit, but I had to get to school.

My head was dizzy and my heart was beating fast. My body hurt all over from the pain and confusion I was dealing with. Why was Undyne acting like this? Why was she leaving? If she knows my times are tough, then why is she leaving?!

I sat down in my seat and looked at Mary with her group of friends. She angered me even more. Seeing her smug smile...she was winning.

What did I do wrong?! Did she feel replaced by Grillby? Did she feel third wheeled? Maybe she was upset cause she wasn't there to hang out with me and Alphys! Or maybe I bored her to death....

Oh noooo.....she was my best friend...my only friend...

Just when I was ready to drop dead on the floor, I found a light of hope. "Grillby..." I whispered under my breath, my eyelids fluttering open.

(TIME SKIP)

When Grillby saw me after school, his face lit up and he wrapped me up in a hug, filling heart with light. "Hello my princess~!"

"Hey kiddo." Sans commented and waved at me. He was always hanging out with Grillby nowadays. I giggled and smiled at Grillby. "Hello my prince~" I cooed into his ear as he released me from the hug.

"So, have either of you noticed Undyne acting weird? She suddenly told me she wasn't going to be hanging out with me anymore..." I muttered and Grillby shrugged.

We began to walk home together since we all lived somewhat nearby to each other. "No idea. That's really strange of her." Grillby said with a sigh.

"I'm sorry that happened to you...sorry about Mary as well. I should've told you about the kiss." Grillby apologized and looked at his feet. "It's all fine." I reassured and held his gloved hand.

He was always wearing gloves since he liked to hold my hand.

"Hey, have any of you noticed that guy staring at (Y/N)?" Sans asked and nudged his head in the direction of a guy I recognized. He was an old friend of mine, and always told me how he had a huge crush on Mary. I guess after me and Mary stopped being friends he began to ignore me.

"Oh, that's just an old friend." I reassured again and shrugged it off. Grillby wasn't about to let it go though. His flames lit up bright and he shot my old friend a death glare. After that he looked away and walked off.

It used to be fun talking to that guy, but nowadays all he does is talk about how wonderful Mary is and how I should get them together since at the time I was her friend.

It got really annoying.

Well, It doesn't matter since he left me. I felt hurt when he did leave me, though. Like he was using me as some sort of tool to get him with Mary, and now that I was of no use to him, he had a reason to toss me away. I was hurt.

I continued to walk side by side with Grillby and ignored the glare he gave that guy, though I was secretly happy that he was being very protective over me.

In a way, it reassured me that he would be staying with me, not that stupid b*tch Mary.

I felt Grillby hold my hand. The sudden warmth caused me to look up at Grillby just in time to see his eyes gleam with happiness as he looked at me and gave me a small chuckle.

"Get a room you two," Sans said with a small laugh. I blushed and laughed a bit, looking at Sans and shaking my head. "Sorry for third wheeling you." I apologized and he grinned.

"It's fine, don't stress about it." He reassured.

Me and Grillby separated ways and I walked over to my house. I let out a sigh of relief as I walked over to my living room.

I heard laughter as I got closer and closer to the living room. And with a house that has as dark as an aroma as mine and the only sound to ever be heard is the sound of arguing, you know that something is up.

Confused, I walked into my living room to see Mary sitting on my couch and laughing with my mother. I dropped my backpack and stared at my mother, since my eyes couldn't bear to look at the pure ugliness of Mary.

My mother looked at me and smiled. "Oh, impeccable timing! Your friend is here! She's just the life of our little party over here!"

"She's not my friend." Is what I wanted to say. But I kept my mouth shut. "Ah, of course. She'll only be over for a bit. I'll make this quick, mom." I said with a forced smile, walking to my room and expecting Mary to follow me.

She followed me over to my room and my smile dropped instantly. "Care to explain why the actual hell your in my house?" I asked, my tone harsh and rude.

She made a stupid puppy face that only made me want to punch her more than I did before. "Aw, why are you so mean to me?"

"You mean besides you kissing my date, pretending to be his girlfriend, and ruining my first date with him?" I asked and gave an obviously forced smile that practically screamed, "Hey, I hate your guts. Take a hint and get out of here."

She wasn't feeling as threatened as I wanted her to. Mary dropped the puppy dog face and sat on my bed, making me grit my teeth in frustration knowing that my enemies butt had been on my bed.

I didn't sit next to her. "I'm about to offer you a deal. How about you stop dating Grillby, and I get you back to being friends with Undyne?" Mary asked, and when I finally made eye contact with her I was greeted with her smile of insanity.

I caught wind as to what had gone on. I was being played. Mary was more clever than I thought, making me chose between Undyne and Grillby. But I'm not letting her win without a fight.

I told myself again and again that I'm stronger than this. I'm not weak anymore. I love Grillby...I love him so dearly! So I can't let this person take him from me!

Once I was filled with determination I stood up to the challenging look on her face by replying to her crazy smile with a smirk.

"I'm done playing these games, Mary," I said, dragging out the name as if it sounded disgusting, "If you think it'll be that easy, think again. Your stupid tricks don't work on me. You can't lay a hit on me and Grillby's love. Me and Undyne can work things out, I don't need your help."

I surprised myself even. My mouth spoke all the words I had wanted to say, minus the really bad cussing I had stored up.

Mary frowned, more angry and pissed off than ever. She stood up and gave me the meanest look. I was afraid for a moment, but I had gotten myself into this.

I'm finishing what I started.

"Undyne won't come back to you without my help, so good luck living a life without friends. I can watch your every move, I can sabotage you in every way! I've got mountains of people who would do anything for me! And if you think you can stop me, your wrong. Grillby is my love. You can't take him away!"

Mary barked at me angrily, and began to leave the room. My mother was waiting, so if either of us exploded when the door was open, my mother would know we weren't really friends.

But I couldn't help it.

The words spilled out of my mouth. Seeing her walk away like that. I chuckled and looked at her with full confidence. "Oh, Mary...I already have."

She looked over her shoulder at me, gave me a look of hate, and then walked off. Instead of feeling scared and feeling panicked, I instead felt a wave of relief wash over me.

I was proud of myself. I was proud of what I had said. I was more...confident.

Things are looking bad right now, but I can do it. I can fix these problems!

Or so I thought.
