Chapter Text
Darkners from all over TV World, Cyber City, and Card Castle were attending a Christmas party hosted in the Green Room. Tenna soon arrived and spotted Spamton chatting to some folk from across the room and walked over to greet him.
“Hey Spam! How’s it going? Do you like the decorations? I coordinated them myself!”
Spamton, who had been lazily chatting ( and possibly flirting ) with a couple of female fans of his, perked up when he heard Tenna’s voice.
“‘Ey Tens! I’m doin’ alright- how about you?”
“Oh I’m doing fine thank you! Who are your um, friends?”
“Oh these ladies are uh just some fans of mine, that’s all.”
Without warning, Spamton pushed his fans, who had been extremely close to him, to the side as he walked closer towards Tenna.
“So what brings you here?”
“Eh, I really just wanted to see my ol’ pal!”
Spamton jokingly punched Tenna’s arm.
“Heh, well I’m glad you came!”
“Yeah, me too…”
Something had distracted Spamton; he was looking up. Tenna went to see what had caught his attention when suddenly-!
Spamton pulled Tenna down to his level by his tie with one hand, latched onto the side of his screen with the other, and kissed him quite deeply and passionately for a few seconds before letting go and walking off without a word.
Tenna stood there in complete shock…before he looked up and realized there was mistletoe hanging right above his head.
Of course. Of course. Why would Spamton actually want to kiss him just because? The Spamton G. Spamton? Falling for him?! Tenna should’ve known better, after all, he had put up the mistletoe for Angel’s sake! Still…
Tenna kinda hung around at the party for a bit, too nervous to talk to anyone. He mainly just ate some of the complimentary party food and watched Spamton ( in a non-creepy way of course. ), to pass the time. He actually noticed that Spamton got caught under mistletoe quite a few times ( Tenna did put up a lot ), but that it was only ladies and he would only let them kiss him on the hand.
Huh…weird…
After a bit, Spamton walked over to Tenna again, seemingly having grown bored of all the attention he had been getting from fans and such.
“‘Eyyy Tens!”
“Uh- hi again…?”
“What’s wrong? You seem… off.”
“It’s just uh- something’s been bothering me…”
“I’m all ears Tens.”
“Well uh, about a little bit ago, when you uh,”Tenna lowered his voice and his screen turned slightly pink, “kissed me- I uh-“
“If you had such a problem with me kissing you, maybe you shouldn’t have stood under that mistletoe.”
“Oh- no! No, not at all- I uh didn’t have a problem with it at all- I mean not in a weird way!”, Tenna added, “It’s just uh, I saw other people uhm cone up to you when you were under mistletoe and uh, you uh- didn’t kiss them l-like you did me…”
“Well yeah, ‘cause I know you, duh.”
“S-So you would do the same if it was like Queen o-or King?”
“Well first off, I don’t know them as well, And second off, King’s a dude.”
“I’m a dude…?”
“That’s not the point. The point is that you’re my best friend and as my best friend, I feel more comfortable being affectionate towards you…in a platonic way, of course.”
“Oh okay, so if you had a really close friend, that wasn’t me, would you a-also uh make out, with them?”
“No.”
“Why not…?”
“Because you’re different.”
“But like if you were as close to them as you are to me-“ “Nuh uh.”
“Why???”
“Like I said, you’re different.”
“Uh, different how, exactly?”
“You’re just different, okay? Now stop pestering me about it.”
“Uhm, okay…”
“Now, is there anything else you wanna sa-“ “So if I kissed you right now that would be fine?”
“Uh- well not exactly.”
“Why???”
“Because…because…uh, because you just can’t, that’s why?”
“So in other words, I have to have an excuse to kiss you?”
“Well- when you word it like that- uh- no? Yes? I- I don’t know…”
“No- no I think I get it. Stay here, will ‘ya?”
Tenna walked away, leaving Spamton very confused before he came back, a smirk on his face.
“What are you so happy about?”
Tenna pointed to one of his antennae, where he had tied a bushel of mistletoe. It was heavy enough that it weighed the antennae down, which led the mistletoe to be in the exact spot you would need it to be regularly if you were to kiss someone.
While Spamton was looking at his new embellishment, Tenna pulled the same trick he did and bent over and kissed him sweetly.
When he pulled away, however, Spamton looked more determined than surprised and grabbed Tenna’s face back to kiss him again. They actually stood there making out for quite a while until-
Snap! Snap!
The two pulled apart, surprised by the sudden noise, which had come from a Shuttah taking pictures of them.
“H-HEY!! I DIDN’T TELL YOU TO TAKE PHOTOS AT THE PARTY!!”
“Uh, boss? Yes you did. You also told me very explicitly to make sure to take pictures of Spa-“ “SHUSH- Yeah okay I get it, now scram!…Please.”
Tenna turned back to Spamton, “Now where were we-“, Spamton was gone.
“Spam?”
Tenna stood up straight again and looked around the room for him…
“Spamton?”
…but he was gone.
It was fun while it lasted. Tenna ripped off the mistletoe and threw it to the ground before returning to nibbling on snacks while trying to ignore the lingering feeling of loneliness.
