[Mettaton listens to Papyrus regale his list of exploits, and while he might normally react in an enthusiastic manner, this time he just...can't. It's not as complicated as he's making it out to be in his head; he's just intimidated by those dead things. He, Mettaton, was anxious in a situation. Frightened, even.
So when Papyrus asks him if he finds this exciting, his reaction is a little...aggressive.]
It's NOT!! This isn't exciting at all, it's unfair, and undignified, and I didn't ask for this kind of harassment!!!
[He isn't necessarily angry at Papyrus...but neither is he expressing it correctly. And almost immediately after he says it, he regrets it. But he's proud, and doesn't immediately apologize. He probably doesn't have to; Mettaton's always been expressive, and now's no exception, especially considering he's in his EX form and has a face. He actually looks as if he regrets shouting.]
