    Summary

    It's date night for the most heinous couple in the Circus, and date night means only one thing.

    Playing a game neither can truly win.

    Tldr: Evil Pomni and Evil Ragatha have... Unique ways of showing the other some love. Playing chicken with deadly toxins is their favorite.

    Bonding over their sh[%$!#]y lives in the circus, Ragatha and Zooble find an unexpected camaraderie in each other.

    Summary

    Tenna sat on his heels, balling fists into his lap. Thank god the backstage shadows worked in his favor. Also worked against him, too, because he couldn’t tell if Mettaton glanced back. To thank him, to ask if he was okay. Maybe offer another smile, just because. In a matter of seconds, Mettaton marched off, flanked by crew members for final preparations. Talkback reached Tenna: sixty seconds until Mettaton went live.

    Of course. Almost showtime. No reason to pull his star performer aside and... ugh, do something dumber than whatever bullshit he pulled off. Snarling past a mouthful of static, Tenna rose and excused himself. Needed to make the rounds backstage and ensure everything ran without a hitch. You know, do his damn job in the Dark World. And not fixate on the fresh memories branded in his circuits.

    Easier said than done. Fucking hell, it always was.

    An unfortunate accident occurs before Mettaton’s debut performance, leaving two possible outcomes once the curtain falls: he’ll leave TV World and Tenna for good or he’ll ask to pick up where they left off. Luck’s never been on his side, but Tenna hopes it’s the latter. He really, really, really does.

    Summary

    “Toriel.”

    “Carol.”

    It’s all the acknowledgement that they need for one another. There’s no ‘Good Evenings’ – no questions about how their days had been. They don’t need that, not with what Toriel is likely about to propose.

    “What, pray tell, are you doing in my office?” Carol interrogates, flicking her head to one side with a stubborn showcase of her attitude.

    And yet Toriel doesn’t falter. She never does.

    “You invited me in,” she retorts. “You tell me.”

    Toriel shows up at Carol's office late into the evening. This is not unusual for them.

    Summary

    He didn’t know why it was there. Also didn’t know who precisely made it, but something about the hint of warmth still lingering in it, like a nighttime fire smoldering at twilight, reminded Tenna of the Lightners who once adored him.

    It felt like home.

    After being donated to the library, and despite all warnings to avoid the mansion’s basement, Tenna finds solace in something that was also discarded.

    Summary

    “Easy there,” he murmured. “No need to rush it. Baby steps. Take it a night at a time.”

    Mettaton clutched Tenna’s hand like his life depended on it. The pink in his cheeks deepened in saturation. “What if it takes me forever to get it right?”

    “Then I guess I’ll be working forever and a day, huh?”

    After acquiring a corporeal body in the Dark World, Mettaton yearns to put his new legs to good use. Quite the tall order, considering he doesn’t know how, but Tenna is more happy to teach him, no matter how long it takes.

    Or 5 times Mettaton is swept off his feet and 1 time Tenna is instead.

    Summary

    Each night, he awaited his king’s return. Mettaton always came back, always retreated to his bedroom after a tedious day of ruling the Underground. Tenna wrung his hands and bounced on his heels, eager to begin. No need to rush anything, though. Be calm, take it easy. Mettaton would let him know when he was ready. So Tenna waited as he shrugged off his royal garb. Definitely never tired of that show.

    “Alright, handsome,” he said upon settling into bed. “What do you have for me tonight?”

    Tenna watches the one who saved him rise to fame, then power. The least he can do in return is keep the king thoroughly entertained.

    Summary

    “I don’t know what to do, he didn’t even seem like.. upset, when I told him I was leaving for a month. A month! Does he even care?” He continued to ramble into his phone, pacing around his hotel room. It was a nice enough room, it had an amazing view, a large flatscreen and even a small kitchen (not that Mettaton was one to do any cooking). But he just couldn’t get into it. He hadn’t even unpacked into the luxurious walk in closet, instead choosing to keep his clothes in his multiple suitcases. The bed was too big, it just made him feel more alone, like someone was meant to share it with him.

    If Mettaton was here filming a few months ago, he probably would have filled the gargantuan bed with an attractive Parisian fling immediately. But now, after the Anthony Tenna swept him off his feet (literally), he hadn’t sought out anyone besides the older man.

     

    - - -

     

    Or Mettaton goes to France to film, shenanigans ensue, they fuck anyway.

    You need to read Summerboy (previous fic in the series) to understand this!!

    Summary

    Anthony used to have people scream for him. Maybe not for a display as vulgar as this, but didn’t that prove how much better he was? He didn’t need to parade around a perfect body with ample curves to garner attention like Mettaton did. Anthony used his wit to draw in a crowd, while Mettaton abused the power of long legs, amplified by a dramatic pair of pumps.

    He found himself drifting toward the makeshift stage that Mettaton had commandeered. For what reason? His brain didn’t supply an answer to that.

    He just.. needed to be closer.

    - - -

    Or Tenna is a jealous prick but they fuck anyway.

    Summary

    Between set schedules, filming, script readings, proof-editing, dress rehearsals, and his own hang-ups about those star-studded events, Tenna rarely makes a public appearance. This time, though, there was no saying 'no' to the offer of a lifetime: an extravagant, exclusive invitation to an all-expenses-paid gathering of high-profile award winners.

    Mettaton and Tenna find themselves in the same limousine, where their first meeting takes a sharp left turn as they find themselves caught dead in the middle of an assassination attempt.

    Real drama! Real bloodshed! Real Pippins! Real... Feelings?! Scrap that last part.
