Summary
Oh my star, if only I could make you mine once again – If only I could smother my face on the crease of your shoulder even with as awkward of a fit that always was, and even if for only a second be able to mask how uneasy everything feels all the time, how I’m not sure about anything, and just tell you how much I love, love, love you, a million times over until I’ve said enough to surpass the fact that I didn’t have the guts to say it not even once while I could. Forgive me Heaven for I have sinned, I let the love of my life slip from my hands.

Summary
— Besides, if it means anything, I think the glasses looked good on you. Gives you a pop of color along all that black and white… A Retro charm.
Samuel chuckled at the comment, raising his eyebrows and flashing his teeth, looking at his reflection in the mirror. Anthony loves his smile, he can’t help but laugh along and feel relieved that he could finally brighten up his lover’s mood. He plants a kiss to the top of his head.
— If you think those glasses match m-my style you must not know me that well a-at all!!
Both men cackled at the remark, Anthony slipped his hands onto Samuel’s waist, pulling him closer to himself. Mouth close to his ear,
— I’d like to think I know you pretty well, Mister Samuel…

Summary
The heels of his leather shoes tapped against the hardwood floor with wariness. Being careful and collected wasn’t much like him – not much like the version of him that he built himself to be, anyway, but he had accepted that he had lost the battle; he would never get back to being “a big shot”, he would never get back to his prime and he couldn’t even live the prestige of inhabiting someone’s loving memories. Tenna doesn’t remember him. His forever partner doesn’t remember him and it caves a hollow feeling in his chest in a way that, back when he felt the high of being at the top of the world, he swore he wouldn’t feel again. But there it was.
So when he escaped and decided to walk aimlessly through the empty backrooms of this enormous studio, he set himself on the search for something unattainable. He wants to see him again, he wants to hear his voice again even if that’s the last thing he listens to before turning to stone. Even if this last thing is him being reminded once again of how irrelevant he has become.
Somewhere else, Kris taps their pocket and doesn’t feel the outline of a pair of glasses anymore. -

Summary
Perhaps this was a good sign. A step in the right direction and away from his downwards spiral of uuuggghhhh. Because the way Mettaton saw it, he now had one of two options.
One: retreat to the lukewarm comforts of a lumpy couch until he became one with the cushions and waited until the inevitable heat death of the universe collapsed onto him to finally end the soul-crushing boredom.
Or two: watch whatever the hell was on his newly acquired TV.
Alone and bored to death, Mettaton looks for a way to pass the time while the Internet is down. Good news, he does. Bad news... uh, it’s totally normal to want to kiss your recently acquired TV, right? (asking for a friend, haha...)

Summary
“It wasn’t a big deal or anything, if you’re worried about that. We were just kind of friend-kissing.”
“Susie, I don’t know what friend-kissing is supposed to be,” Noelle said.
“It’s like. You know,” Susie stumbled, “like if you need to figure out how to kiss or whatever and you got somebody to help you out—and that guy helps you get better at it, it’s like—you know!”
“I-I do?”
“Yeah,” she stressed, “you and Kris used to do it all the time!”
Or, Kris decides flirting lessons aren’t all that bad of an idea. Consequences? What consequences?
