Hii! Thank you hehe <3 Your idea was very cute, I hope you'll enjoy reading this as much as I liked writing it uwu
Happy (early) Easter! Or, egg hunting season 🧚
~
You waited patiently, trapped in plastic. Your fingers brushed the walls of your colorful cage, as you focused on your surroundings for any sound that would have revealed the TV's presence.
The rules were simple, he'd told you.
It was an egg hunt with a twist. Tenna was supposed to look for you, a special prize mixed with thousands of gatcha balls. They had been decorated to resemble eggs, and so was yours, to avoid making it stand out.
But where the others had nothing inside them, your ball had a special kind of transparent plastic that obscured the contents from the outside world. You on the other hand, were free to look around, and to roam whenever the situation called for it, simply by making the sphere roll on itself.
What fun would it have been if the win condition stayed put, ready to be found? Nope! You would have added your own spin.
"HMMMM~ I wonder where my little star has ended up!"
Whoops. You forgot to take into account that Tenna could have grown to frightening proportions only to raise the tension. And that was exactly what he'd done.
Giant steps echoed on the set that had been turned into a somewhat peaceful meadow. Carboard cutouts of bushes pathetically tried to conceal the TV's massive height from you, as you waited for the right moment to to roll away.
Tenna was looking around, and you were delightfully surprised to see him sport a light green suit, decorated by his usual accessories that were now of a pastel shade of pink. By squinting your eyes, you also spotted the painted round ends of his antennas. Both were completely white, but one was striped while the other one had colorful dots all over it. You loved how he never held himself back during the festivities, it was the reason you two were playing this game, after all.
He had a basket that housed all of the egglike-gatcha balls he managed to find, and everytime he found another one, he bent forward to pick it up.
Tenna called your name, tempting you into revealing your position.
"You can't hide forever! It's just a matter of time, sweetheart! (TV time, am I right folks?)" The host briefly whispered to no one in particular.
You waited for him to give his back to you, as he put his hands on his hips in annoyance, before you pressed your hands firmly on the plastic walls that surrounded you.
Placing them higher each time your cage rolled foward, your hands threatened to sweat when the giant TV inspected another bush that was too close to your previous hiding spot.
Once you found shelter behind another cardboard plant, you lost control of the gatcha ball, unwillingly hitting some of the eggs that had been placed next to it. You held your breath, hoping he didn't hear your accident.
Antennas straightened, exactly when he placed another gatcha ball in his giant basket.
"Oh GOLLY! They really don't wanna be found, do they?"
You couldn't help but smirk in your hand at seeing Tenna so upset over his potential loss. But right as you closed your eyes in amusement, he disappeared into thin air.
Trying not to panic, you looked around the stage. No trace of him. No sound, no smell, not even static electricity left in the air.
You tentatively moved the gatcha ball, peeking from behind the bush, exposing yourself to danger just to find where he'd gone.
Unsure whether to keep the act going, his name sat on your tongue. Was this a prank of some sort? Or did he want to play so seriously to the point of startling you to death?
You kept near your hiding spot, again looking left and right to see any sign of the previously giant television who was dead set on catching you. Your hands rested on plastic, ready for a sprint in case he started to chase you out of the blue.
"Found ya!" A whispered giggle came from behind you.
You didn't even have the time to scream before a figure gradually grew in size, catching your gatcha ball in his palm and raising you high in the air like a trophy.
Your heart fluttered in your chest, and you had to hold steady to the plastic walls of your ball to avoid jumping up because of his enthusiasm.
Your cage was held high between gloved fingers, and a screen was looking at you with pride, while the basket of eggs laid discarded on the floor with its contents had spilled all over the meadow.
"I! WIN! You shouldn't have let your guard down, little star!"
A sigh escaped your lips at being caught so easily. Tenna had probably shrunk to the size of an ant to be stealthy, and you'd fallen for it in your genuine worry.
"Alright! You win. Can you put me down now?" You smirked.
"Not yet! Not without my prize!" He lowered you into his palms, even if he really needed a single one to hold you for how big he was.
His careful digits opened the plastic with ease, and he helped you crawl out of the colorful egg that previously surrounded you. Expectantly, Tenna brought you closer to his face, and the bright glow of his screen clearly highlighted the blush on your cheeks.
"Okay. Just... don't let me fall, okay?" He nodded in agreement.
In a rush, you kissed the tip of his nose while closing your eyes.
"How is this? As a prize?"
A giant flower blinded your sight and filled your nostrils with pollen. It was so close that you were sure you got some of the yellow powder on your face, but your partner's wobbly smile was worth the trouble every, single time. You laughed tenderly at his reaction.
I’m having a pretty bad night tonight, if you’re still open for Tenna prompts I’d love one where he finds the reader crying and comforts them... I think he’d be panicking and wiping away their tears, doing his best to get them feeling not glooby again 💔
Hey anon, hope you're feeling a little better. I had a few rough days myself this week, so I hope the wait wasn't too hard <3
Since I have written (and frankly, we've also seen this prompt from other marvelously talented people here, hehe) Tenna comfort before, your request inspired me to make him a little more panicky, so I hope that you can find comfort in being glooby together.
Enjoy!
~
His little star had been missing for the entire evening. Peeking through the light world had been useless, and the many employees that he had sent only came back empty handed.
Tenna was pacing frantically from corridor to corridor, and the doors to the various offices and rooms mixed into a blur with every passing second.
You were missing, but it wasn't of your own volition, right? Surely you wanted to be found.
It was way past closing hours when his heels echoed in the corridor that led to the Z rank room. Tenna never went there, as horrible memories plagued him everytime he stepped back in there, but, it was the last place he needed to check. If you weren't there, that meant that there was no trace of you in TV World, and Tenna dreaded that possibility. He would have probably had a nightmare later, because of that room, but if it meant finding you, Tenna would have done it without hesitation.
The door creaked and whined as he slowly pushed it open. Glass under his shoes and dust into his nose assaulted his senses, but... in a lone corner, he spotted a lone, huddled figure.
Tenna desperately called out your name, to try and get your attention.
"Hey! We've been looking everywhere for you! Wha-"
As Tenna towered over you, he met your frightened, teary-eyed stare. You sniffled, and then hid your face into your knees again.
He immediately crouched, reaching out to your trembling form. Your pain almost made him reconsider touching you, as if he was afraid to break the finest glass figure. Almost.
"What happened? Can you talk to me?"
No, your mind screamed, stuck between the desire to hide and the relief you felt at seeing Tenna's screen. That same screen that was agonizing over you, and that made your heart split in two out of guilt.
You would have kept the origin of your tears secret, whatever the cost.
Hiccups took hold of your lungs and body, before you heard Tenna coo to you.
"Awww, star. Come here."
He pulled you into the softest hug in both worlds, and if you weren't struck by grief in that moment, you would have even felt lucky. Buf unfortunately, tears stained his jacket, right as you sensed his hands gently stroking your back in reassurance.
Thorns pricked in your chest, and they had no intention of letting you go any time soon. The more you cried, the worse you felt, as you wondered when Tenna would have gotten bored of your whining. Someone normal would have at least asked for an explanation.
"What can I do to help you, sweetheart?"
That jarring question only worsened your tears, making you unable to answer him once more. You clutched the fabric on his back like an anchor threatening to pull away.
Tenna shifting and pushing on both your shoulders confirmed your fears, but your trembling subsided when you saw some very familiar characters happily chatting on his screen at a low volume.
You knew this show, he knew your preferences, after all, such was the nature of a darkner like him.
The tears kept falling, even if you'd stopped sobbing. Someone being considerate towards you just tugged at your heartstrings in a way that didn't go unnoticed.
Tenna didn't know this, however, so you felt his hands start to faintly tremble on your shoulders. The footage became blurry, as magical tears reflected the rainbow of his screen into your eyes.
"H-Hey... your, *sob*, your favorite show is on! Haha... look! Please... please stop crying... please."
His kind soul felt your suffering as if it were his own. Even if your breath still quivered, you silently pressed your face onto his shoulder and kept weeping.
Listening to Tenna sob beside you brought you some sense of strange comfort. You weren't alone, not like before, when you'd tried to hide.
His own tears fell on your clothes, but they were nothing compared to how much you'd cried. You began rubbing your gentle hands on his back, in an effort to soothe him.
Tenna held you even tighter against him, and you both waited for your grief to subside.
At one point, your eyes blinked open again, taking in your surroundings. The mechanical body around you was quiet now, as he gently rocked back and forth while stroking your back affectionately.
It almost seemed like he was doing it to calm the both of you down, hugging you like a little treasure in his arms.
"Ten...ten...?" You managed to utter with your dry throat.
You looked into his screen, trying not to startle him as you loosened the hug.
His face was dark, but you could still see the dried tear streaks on his glass.
"Hey, sweetheart..." He answered back, cupping one of your cheeks.
"Did- did you get it all out?" Tenna timidly asked.
You nodded, pressing one of your hands over his.
"Thank you for finding me... and putting up with me."
His head shook violently.
"I'm- I'm not putting up with you, star. I just-- I... I was worried. You were crying so much! I felt like a fai-"
You pressed your entire palm over his smooth screen, hoping to distract him enough from finishing the sentence.
"No, don't even think about it. I'm sorry for making you worry, but I'm alright now. I'm glad that you stayed."
As soon as you took your hand off, Tenna's face materialized again, making the streaks on his cheeks more prominent. Not that you were one to judge anyway, considering that you were probably in the same state.
He smiled so sweetly at you, while you breathed in relief.
"I thought that you would have started to shrink."
Tenna lowered his screen in what looked like embarrassment.
"I-- I, didn't want to... I wanted to be there for you. You just seemed so vulnerable, I...... wanted to hold onto you as much as I could. I was glooby, sure, but you were in my mind, in that moment. I wanted to make you feel better."
You coughed to push back against your renewed tears. They weren't out of sadness, but out of love for the television that had you as one of his priorities.
"Thank you, Tens. Really, thank you."
"Remember that you can tell me what made you glooby, okay? Don't ever feel like you can't, please. I want to help, if I can." Tenna said after sniffling.
You nodded again, before you held onto his neck once more, letting yourself be carried away, back into the bright light of the studios that were so dear to your heart.
Tenna/Reader and cuteness aggression? whether it's Reader having it towards him, or vice versa, or even both! I just think it'd be an adorable or funny moment no matter what 🥺❤️
Hewwo friend, hope you're feeling better <3 I couldn't resist and I made them have a little cuteness aggression battle, hope you enjoy it! Thank you for your request uwu
~
Tenna had asked you to bring him a cup of nice, steaming coffee.
There were various coffee machines around the studios, but the host's favorite variant was available only at the cafeteria, where it was served hot and rich. The sight of the black, clean liquid dripping from the filter left you mesmerized, as the beverage got sweetened by warm, fluffy cream, just how Tenna liked it.
With the mug warming your fingertips, you made your way back to the host's office, but a familiar sound almost made you halt to a stop in the middle of the hallway.
It was the TV Time theme song, and a deep voice was humming it while clearly being busy with something else. Whoever it was, they were in high spirits, because the melody was unexpectedly loud, noncaring of being trapped by closed lips.
You knocked on Tenna's office with one hand, and a smile reached your lips the moment you realized that the humming only got louder as you came closer to the door.
"Tenten? I brought your coffee!"
Even if the song stopped abruptly, you were soon relieved to see his bright screen meeting your face right after the door opened.
"Sweetheart! Come in! Come in!"
As you thanked him for letting you inside, he closed the door again, and you calmly walked up to his desk to place the still steaming mug near his golden name plate.
"It's still hot, be careful."
Tenna sneaked at you from behind, only to place a loud kiss on the back of your head. The feeling of the static from his screen made you giggle instantly.
"Thank you!"
A pile of documents rested on the dark wood of his desk, and since a pen had been left right next to one of said papers, you imagined that he had just started his break.
"Is there something I can help you with?"
Tenna sat on his office chair, as he pondered your question by pointing at his chin with his finger, letting out a loud hum.
"Nope! I just have to revise the board you'll play next week, star. Thank you for offering, but I can't have you peeking at the script! What if you get more points because you already know the quiz answers? Nope! Nossiree!"
You chuckled and sat on the couch.
"Come on, you know I wouldn't do that."
"Nuh-uh! Not even your special privilege will help you with this!"
Your eyes thinned in amusement.
"And what would that be?"
"Well! Being close to yours truly, obviously!"
You snickered loudly, and after a content sigh, you stared at his focused screen, already back to work.
"I promise I have only this bunch of papers left, then we can go home."
"Okay~"
That did sound nice, yeah. And so you let him finish.
Soon, you started to notice that your television was much more... cheerful, than usual. Every turn of a document didn't bother to hide the excitement in his mechanisms, he occasionally swayed side to side on his seat, and at a closer inspection, you could spot his legs kicking at the empty space under his desk.
If you hadn't known him by now, you could have sworn that Tenna was just a smidge older than you. And yet here he was, an old cathode ray television, happily revising a document that probably expressed in high detail what you would have played, which made him unable to suppress his happiness.
You stared in silence, your lips faintly curving into a smile, until your composure was shattered by the comeback of his delighted humming.
It was the TV Time theme song again, and you wondered how he could concentrate on his work if he was stimming in at least three different ways. He was utterly and incredibly adorable. In these moments, you almost forgot that he was a CEO that often yelled at his employees, not when he was so carefree and happy to just exist.
No, you'd had enough. This couldn't have gone any further. Not under your nose.
Tenna tilted his screen at you the moment he heard your laugh increase in intensity.
"What? Do I have something on my face?" You hoped he didn't get startled by your figure approaching his desk at suddenly increasing speed.
"Oh, nothing. Just..."
You leaned forward, reaching for his lips and keeping your balance with both the desk and one of the armrests of his chair. You giggled when Tenna accepted your kiss without hesitation.
"Your nose." Your smirk anticipated your plans.
"Oh! Uhh... heh, haha. You--"
"You're so cuteee!!!! It's not fair! I just want to squeeze you!!"
You squealed as you threw your entire weight on him, hugging his neck. You felt Tenna's hands on your back, but you only kept nuzzling into his staticky face, uncaring of the possibility of someone finding you two like this.
His giggles only spurred you on, as you even pushed your forehead onto him, not unlike a cat brushing its head over friends and furniture, and you barely saw his screen turn pink beyond your closed eyelids.
"Oh, you little stinker! Come here!"
Suddenly, his grip on you got stronger, as he now blew constant raspberries all over your face and neck. You barely had the time to register his antennas curling into a coil, before you had to close your eyes in reflex. You weakly tried to push him back, but Tenna was determined to get every snicker he could out of you. The dork even shut off his screen at some point, nuzzling back into your face without a care in the world.
He turned you around with ease, and with those giant hands of his he immediately reached for your armpits.
Tenna was definitely too good at this.
Your laughters combined together, his now a subdued chuckle, while yours was constantly amplified the harsher his tickling became. Not even your little spasms could help you escape him, and you were happier for it.
After what had felt like an infinity, he let your lungs and stomach rest, as his hands joined on your front to hug you better. Tenna screen rested on your smaller shoulder as much as it could, and he blew one final raspberry into your clothes, before sighing in satisfaction.
"You don't know how many times I wanted to do this to you."
Still catching your breath, you humored him.
"What? Tickling me until I become a puddle on the floor?"
He nodded, gently shifting your clothes.
"You're cute too. It should be illegal. I'd hug you all day if I could."
Your hands found his on your torso, softly holding his gloved fingers.
"A double edged sword, I'm afraid. Being cute doesn't make me win cuteness aggression contests. I'm clearly no match for you." You sighed theatrically.
Tenna now nuzzled his screen on the back of your head once more.
"I wouldn't have it any other way."
You both giggled, and your body followed his own swaying motion on his chair, as he finally enjoyed his cute little star in his gentle grasp.
Tenna with a reader that feels like they don't deserve him? they're not as bubbly or energetic as he usually is, so they feel as though they're not able to put as much joy or effort into the relationship as he can.
The clicking of the buttons you pressed on the controller felt relaxing, as you tried your best to defeat Tenna in the fighting game he'd asked you to play together. Whereas he commented every bit he could, how he would fall off the stage, get an unlucky object, or complimented you for besting him, you barely reciprocated his excitement.
Soon your thoughts started to seep into your playing style, as visions of him in front of you and on stage flashed through your mind.
Tenna, as the host he was born to be, liked to be over the top in everything he did, and that meant that his personality was pleasantly joyful and cheerful. If that was also to compensate for his insecurities, you weren't exactly sure, but you figured that his bubbly demeanor couldn't absolutely be a lie, if it brought him and others so much happiness.
Tenna cheered when he managed to push you off the stage with a well charged hit.
"Ha-Ha! See? Still got my charm! This is what I learned from watching Kris and Asriel play, how'dja like that?"
You barely registered the loss of one of your character's lives, that Tenna, being player one as he always insisted when you played on console, paused the game.
"Star are you okay? You're... quiet."
You bit your lip. Of course you were quiet compared to him. He was like the sun, while you paled like a little asteroid in comparison.
"Aren't I quiet all the time though?"
"What do you mean?" His cheerful exterior was gone, replaced by worry.
"I..." You left your controller on your lap, before you brought your hands to your face.
"You don't have to fake it for me...... I'm not as positive, as you are, I don't, react as much as you do. I just... do the bare minimum. I can't... be that energetic, Tenna. You don't have to play with me out of pity, I know it's not enjoyable."
Tenna's breath hitched, as if you'd struck a nerve, or wire in this case.
"Heck, I don't even know why you're still my-"
He pulled you in a tender, strong hug before you could finish the sentence. You felt the fabric of his jacket softly cuddle your cheeks, embracing you with warmth.
"Don't say that, sweetheart. You know that I've never cared about that."
Tears pushed through your stubborness.
"I called you here because I want to spend time with you, okay? And I like you for you! You don't have to feel bad for not being as someone else wished you were." His calm tone made you embrace his broad back in return.
"You're quiet, or you aren't on cloud 9 all the time like me, so what? I don't feel like you aren't enough! Don't you ever feel like you're not trying hard enough, because that is not the case!" Tenna now brushed your nape with his thumb.
"Are you sure?" You craned your neck towards his screen.
"Of course! Where would I find anyone else like you in the world, huh? I call you back here because I enjoy your company. Just the way you are."
You sniffled, wiping away your tears with your sleeves before Tenna tried to help you.
"Hm. That goes for you too then."
His antennas stilled, petrified.
"What... uh, goes, star?"
"That I spend time with you because I like you. You don't have to feel like you're too much, okay?"
Tenna sighed, as if your simple reasoning sounded too far fetched for his mind to handle.
"Alright, but my point still stands. You're doing enough just by being yourself. You don't have to change. Got it?"
"Okay, Tens." You laughed, finally reassured, as Tenna booted the game back up.
Your skill again surpassed his, and you quietly chuckled against his flamboyant complains of defeat by your hand.
Maybe you were an asteroid. A simple, silent, celestial body that creeped around space, hidden by most. But you knew that, around the sun, you would have started to shine, being worthy of its light just by floating near it.
~
Here you go anon! The asteroid metaphor hit me in a sudden wave of inspiration, if you know how their "tail" works. Hope you like it! Remember that Tenna loves you just the way you are uwu
Hello guys! After a comically long wait (I had a few rough weeks unfortunately 🙇) here is a request made by @zzz-keystuck , who asked for a ficlet with an autistic reader with chronic pain x Tenna! I really hope you enjoy uwu <3
(reader is a darkner in this one!)
~
Hours seemed minutes while you were dealing with your paperwork at your work station. To avoid being more of a burden than an asset, you had asked for a desk job in your contract, right when Tenna started building his studios from scratch in the middle of the purple cliffs.
It was where you could put your energy to use... exception made for when your body tried to work against you.
Not happy that you were always sitting, it made sure to tell you when your arms were supposed to be resting, sending shockwave after shockwave of incessant pain, especially to your joints.
You couldn't help but grit your teeth while you waited for the medication to get into your system. You honestly wished you could do more, but there wasn't much you could do when your legs and back protested all the way to your workplace.
Someone could have asked you why. Why subject yourself to all this trouble just to work under a whiny workaholic who always pushed others to their limits?
And the truth was that you just admired him, besides your probably unrequited crush.
All that weight on his shoulders, carrying the family's happiness on his back, despite the fights and the cries of the children. How he hadn't broken down from all the pressure was beyond your understanding. So if you could lift even a little bit of that weight for him, it would have been enough for you.
Lost in your thoughts, and in the words mixing into black ink on the paper, you barely noticed your boss looming over your desk. Over your head.
"Did you hear me?"
You jolted on your seat when you registered Tenna looking down on you with an evident scowl on his screen.
"BOSS! I'm sorry, I didn't... I was... lost in thought."
Terrified of having provided such a poor explanation, even if it was the truth, you feared looking into his face once more. Your hands gripped the documents on your desk in an effort to ground you, preparing you for... a concerned frown instead, right on your boss's features.
"I came here to ask you something about one of the last reports you sent to my office, but... you don't look great. Are you feeling alright?"
Now that he mentioned it, your back was giving its early tells, warning you of the pain that would have joined you soon, and your dominant hand ached, another sign of an incoming flare-up.
You had all the intention of notifying the head of the department of your early break, because ignoring it now meant not being able to work at all for something that you deemed way longer than necessary.
"Not really, Mr. Tenna, I'm sorry. I'm probably going to take it easy for now." You tilted your head to meet his screen.
"Oh! Uh... sorry to hear that! Are you tired?"
He was being awfully sweet for someone who easily bossed others around.
"I'm alright, it's just... one of my flare-ups." Tenna leaned backwards in confusion. So much for reading the contracts of all his employees.
"I... have chronic pain. Especially in my arms, legs and back. It always comes back at the worst moments." Your fingers started to intertwine, in an effort to make your vulnerability easier to disclose. You always felt lost without something to fidget with.
"So... even standing hurts after a while?" Your boss inquired.
"Yes. I thought that a desk job would have been easier to handle, but... I'm sorry, Mr. Tenna, I'm really sorry for all this."
An invisible gaze was upon you, as the longer he stared, the more you wanted to crawl back to your apartment in shame. How could you ever be useful to him like this? It was a lost cause, and reality was showing its ugly face to you in this very moment.
Until a hum echoed in your office, and Tenna quickly crouched near your chair, reaching out to you.
His antennas gently brushed your face as you felt a giant blush cover your cheeks, and his hands on your body. Careful to avoid your aching spots, your boss lifted you into the air with no effort whatsoever, while you clutched at his suit for stability, almost forgetting not to put too much strength into your arms.
The shock was simply too big. He did this near your own desk, no less! Under the eyes of all your coworkers! You would have hidden your face in his suit had it been literally anyone else.
"Are you okay?" Tenna asked as he let you sit on the crook of his elbow, supporting your back with his other hand.
You had never made direct contact with him before, because your reports were delivered to his office by another employee, but his hands were pleasantly warm against your uniform.
"P-Probably."
He chuckled.
"I'm not gonna drop you! Don't worry!" His antennas sparkled with light electricity as if to support his promise.
"O-Okay."
Once he saw that your grip on him had gotten weaker, he gently positioned you on his shoulder, right next to his screen. Tenna had shrunk a bit to get into the office, but he was still big enough to be a comfortable enough seat for you, even if you held onto the side of his casing for stability.
"Is this alright?" His nose turned to you.
"It... should be. But boss! I should be asking you if this is appropriate or n-"
Without giving too much attention to your complaints, Tenna stood, moving towards the exit. His pace wasn't rushed, but it had still caught you off guard. It was kind of high up for your tastes.
"Of course it is! It's not a problem for me! Why would it be for you?"
With a prominent blush still covering your face, you mentally wondered why he was being so nice to you specifically.
You didn't dislike this treatment, obviously, but you barely saw your boss being so forgiving during work hours, why did he suddenly change his mind?
"Mr. Tenna, sir, I... just... don't see how I can be helpful to you like this."
"Oh but that's SIMPLE! You're going to work on my documents by being the angel on my shoulder! LITERALLY!"
You mentally caught fire at the petname.
"Did you know that I used to have four arms in my prime? I mean-- I still do! But... no use trying to juggle so many things at once if they could fall at any moment! They just, don't work as they used to! But who needs another pair of arms with a smile like mine, and a cutie like you?"
Now he had just unleashed an swarm of butterflies in your stomach, leaving you unable to respond.
"So... as soon as your arms are doing better, I'm going to handle you a little pile of papers, so that I only have to check them, skipping the delivery entirely! And you won't have to move an inch! How does that sound?"
That... actually sounded genius, coming from him. Even if the two of you would have looked like a pirate and his trusted parrot.
"It sounds g-great, boss! I'm willing to try!" You answered, regaining your high spirits.
"Perfect! Tell me if I ever need to slow down, okay?"
"I-I will! Thank you, Mr. Tenna, sir!"
With your strange agreement, the two of you began handling all the work that was required of the boss of TV World. But you hoped that with his understanding, and with your help, things between you could have progressed into something more, something that could have helped the showman's aching, mechanical heart.
can we please get Tenna comforting a afab reader through period cramps please please please cherry on top
Every month, it was the same story. The bleeding, needles stabbing through your abdomen without mercy and that ever present pain that ate away at your energies.
It came at the most unexpected times, too. Right after one of Tenna's physical challenges, you hugged your midsection, recognizing that familiar grip in your guts.
You always had tampons on hand, to avoid making a mess if your period came unannounced, but it was the pain that worried you the most right now.
You ran straight towards the bathroom without waiting for the challenge's results, catching a glimpse of Tenna's worried expression.
When you came out, you were met by his looming figure right outside the door.
"You could have at least told someone before running off like that! I wanted to congratulate you myself, star!"
"For... the results?"
"Yes! A marvelous T rank!"
"Oh," You hissed quietly when you felt a punch in your stomach. "... I thought it would have been an A, honestly."
"Nope! The T rank room is waiting just for you! You've never been there, right? Do you want to go together?"
"It's okay, Te-" Another cramp brought your arm to your abdomen, as you were now unable to hide your pained state.
"Oh, Fountain!!! Are you alright??"
You gritted your teeth.
"Yeah, it's just... my period came early."
His antennas straightened in worry.
"So it was a bathroom emergency?"
"Of course, why would I run off without knowing how well I did on the board?" You managed to make Tenna chuckle, trying to avert his attention from your issue.
"Okay, but... do you need something for the pain? You honestly don't look great, sweetheart."
You started to rub your stomach soothingly to distract you from the usual gripping sensation.
"I'm okay. The first day is usually the worst, but I'll be fine."
"Are you sure there's nothing I can do?"
Considering his offer, you came up with something that would have undoubtedly helped with your aching midsection.
"I... usually have a heating pad back in the light world if I need it.
He looked at you, tilting his screen in a puzzled way.
"What I wanted to ask is... would you mind massaging me a bit? Warmth usually makes it better."
"OH! Star, why didn't you say so sooner??"
Tenna immediately picked you up, giving you another cramp involuntarily as you pushed your fingers into your flesh to find some relief.
"Sorry. I just wanted to go somewhere more private."
This usually meant his office.
When he reached the aforementioned room, he sat down, placing you in his lap.
"Is this comfortable?"
You groaned in response, trying to relax your muscles and unclenching your abdomen.
"Perfect, okay, uhm. Tell me... what I need to do, star. Please."
You wordlessly took one of his gloved hands to guide it to where your body ached most. His warmth immediately seeped into your clothes and flesh, prompting you to sigh contently.
"Is it better? Am I helping?"
The relaxation took over your mind, since the cramps had taken away most of the strength you still had after the physical challenge. You held his hand, in an effort to entertwine your fingers with his massive ones.
"Can... you move it in circles, please?"
Tenna did as he was asked, slightly pressing onto your flesh in gentle movements.
"Like this?"
"Yeah...... it doesn't hurt now."
You leaned your back against him, breathing deeply and letting your midsection stretch under his glove, to check if the needles would have tried to prick you again. Thankfully, the worst seemed to have passed, but being in Tenna's lap like this felt too heavenly for you to get up.
"Thank the Fountain. I'm so glad, star."
You hummed happily.
"It gets this bad every month?"
"Only the first few days, then it calms down."
His screen settled near your shoulder, as he dutifully kept massaging your abdomen.
"Can we stay like this for a little while longer?" You tentatively asked.
"The board's over, star, so I'm free for the time being."
"Okay, thank you."
You sighed, turning your head toward his and giving it a little kiss.
"No worries, I'm just happy to help."
You ended up taking not even a single painkiller for the entirety of your period.

Hope you like it anon! To be honest, I'm on the pill, so I don't get surprise periods anymore, but considering that before that I got them fucking twice a month I'd take the pill over literally anything else. So this for me means that I don't have many cramps, luckily, but I remember how weak I felt before I was on the pill, so I send good vibes and hugs your way! Remember to take it easy and to stay hydrated! Periods suck!
since you're still doing requests, may you write Tenna x f!reader fic about their morning after first time, yn what I mean😌 you can write it a bit suggestive if you want to!
[SUGGESTIVE CONTENT WARNING]
Here you go anon! Hope you like it! It sure helped me get back into the mood for my wip, considering that my brain held me back from working on it. I'm not really sure what you meant with f!, so I kept the genitals vague, hope you don't mind. There is a penetrative sex mention though, just so you know.

In the dark world there was no sun for you to wake up to, but mechanisms gently whirring beside you, and strong hands holding you affectionately, were all you needed to take in your surroundings.
The bedroom was quiet, dark and peaceful, as you tried to touch the fingertips on your torso. They were bare, plastic covered by external tendons that slightly shifted under your caress.
Your body, too, was naked, but it was kept warm by the many bedsheets enveloping you, and by your partner's tender embrace.
Suddenly, a screen lit up behind you and hands turned you around to face it. You were met with Tenna's warm, adoring smile, and you couldn't help but reciprocate.
"Good morning, star."
"Good morning to you, Tens."
"How are you feeling?"
In the blink of an eye, that question sent you back to the night you'd just spent together. Cuddling, touching, kissing, wandering fingers and cries of pleasure. The way Tenna had been so gentle with you, how he'd reassured you and how you'd consoled him, reminding that his body wasn't ugly but was instead worthy of praise and desire.
He'd done the same for you, kissing every inch of you and holding you so tenderly that it made lust blossom deep into you. Wires and dials were twisted and pressed, while your flesh was squeezed and marked.
You blushed involuntarily, trying to use your fingers under the covers to check the drawings on your body, and the state your hips were in. Being your first time together, they were moderately sore, but only because you'd asked Tenna not to hold himself back. You couldn't stand the pained look on his face as he gently thrust into you, never quite reaching the pace he needed, while every movement for you felt like a blissful electric shock.
"I'm fine. My hips ache a bit, but nothing unmanageable. What about you?"
"I've never felt better, sweetheart. Waking up next to you...... I'm so happy to see you here." Tenna cradled your cheek in his palm, and you turned around to kiss it.
"I'm happy too, Tenten. Tonight was breathtaking. I love you."
His hand shook under your face, and his screen quickly turned pink, accompanied by a playful smirk.
"Ohh, you brought this on yourself, little star!"
Tenna lowered his palm to hold your sides with both hands, pressing his black screen against you while he showered you in kisses and affection.
The spots he liked the most were your chest, neck and face, since the lack of nose gave him more freedom of movement. Even though the kisses were chaste, you loved them regardless, letting them draw out your laughter.
Only when Tenna paused to nuzzle his face into your naked chest, you softly kissed the edge of his plastic frame, as your hands moved to trace the lines where his components fit together.
His antennas gently bumped into your forehead, so you freed one hand to play with one of the rods, pressing your fingers at the base and straightening it across its length. Tenna's form trembled violently against you.
"Tenna? Are you okay? Did I hurt you?" You asked worriedly, considering that you hadn't done this last night and you weren't sure that it would have felt nice for him.
He chuckled in response.
"No, sweetheart. You didn't hurt me, it's the opposite."
"What do y- Ah!"
Tenna had started rubbing between your legs, as if in retaliation of you stimulating his antennas.
"Now you know how it feels when you touch my antennas. It's very pleasant, especially when you do it."
You found yourself again, just to look at his now bright white face. You could have gotten used to this, you thought to yourself.
"You don't mind going another round?" You asked him.
"Not at all. What about you?"
"Why not? It's still early after all."
Tenna smiled, before your fingers found his bare plastic shoulder, trying to tug him closer.
"I love you, star. So much."
"I love you too."
Your lips locked again in a devoted kiss, that promised tender words and warm caresses.

You woke up that morning with an uncomfortable sensation shaping your thoughts. Warmth spread into your body and limbs, flushing your cheeks and quickening your breath. You should have known what it was, judging by the dream you just broke free from.
It was Tenna, pounding into you without rest, connecting your hips together and giving you the release your body was desperately asking for.
You were in heat.
Your monster parents had explained you several times that it was best for you to either ride it out, taking your time to rest, or to suppress it with some medicine. Of course, this was when you still didn't have a partner.
You pushed yourself off the bed, searching for the bathroom cabinet, where you kept your suppressants. Unfortunately, your legs gave out on you, making you collapse on the floor, barely holding on thanks to your arm gripping firmly onto the sink.
You couldn't stay like this, you could have hurt yourself in much more serious ways. But all you could think about was Tenna. The mirror looked like him, the cabinet was shaped like him, and your mind was focused only on asking him to... to...
You shut your eyes in vain, hoping to drive away the titillating thoughts that plagued you. You couldn't ask that of him, even if you did have sex already in the past. It would have been mortifying.
You would have just laid down on the bed, where at least you were free to let your hands wander over your form, aiding you... hands that had claws that were so careful with you while he stretched you open for him to--
No! Stop it! You're just making it worse!
Your eyes shot open, showing you a familiar ceiling decorated by shining cables. Were you so lost in lust and heat that you barely even realized that not only you had laid back down on your bed, but you'd fallen asleep too? Thinking about him.
No! He can't see you like this! You have to go back to the light world as soon as possible!
You weakly pushed yourself off the couch in the green room, straining your muscles and feeling the sickly warmth turn your head to mush.
You wished you could have used some aid to move, but the couch would have had to suffice, as you held onto it to help you walk. Soon, an enthusiastic voice traveled in the air, making your heartbeat skyrocket.
"My little star! How are you doing? You're very early. What-"
Tenna stopped dead in his tracks when he saw your form barely holding itself together, trying to scuttle away from him with the few energies you had.
"Hey! Hey, sweetheart, what's going on? Did you catch a fever?" He was immediately by your side, turning your body to make you face him and putting his massive hand over your forehead.
Your mind did the work in your stead, and since he wasn't excessively tall, you uncontrollably leaned onto him, pushing your hips against his. Tenna only gasped, before his screen molded into a frown. You wanted to hide yourself away from the world in this moment, instead of giving into your desires, but his grip wouldn't let you.
"Hold on a second." For the first time ever since you've known him, Tenna started to sniff at you, pulling you further against him. It only made sense, with his nose, but after inspecting you for a few moments, he settled on your neck, where the smell was the strongest. Could he smell your pheromones?
"Did you put a perfume on or something? This is really nice."
"No. I'm--" You bit your lip.
Too late, because you registered just now the pleasant relief that his leg gave you against your clothed arousal. You'd started rubbing yourself on him without thinking.
"Star! Not now! Someone could see us!"
"Sorry! Tenna, I'm sorry, I didn't want..."
You started crying out of embarrassment. Beyond your foggy vision, you barely saw the bulge in Tenna's pants getting bigger. You were affecting him too and it was all your fault.
"Star......are you in heat?" He asked quietly, afraid of someone barging unexpectedly in the room.
You nodded as tear streaks ran along your cheeks, and it was then that Tenna made up his mind.
You were promptly swept off your feet and carried to what you imagined was Tenna's office. You desperately started screaming while tugging on his jacket.
"You don't have to do this! You're busy and I didn't mean to come in here. I'd just bother you! Tenna!"
He didn't even give you the time to finish when he closed the door of his office and the lock clicked louder than you expected. You were immediately placed on the couch, before the sight of Tenna hastily undressing caught you off guard. Your sobs echoed again through the walls, right until a warm thumb on your cheek wiped your tears away.
Through your blurred vision and the uncomfortable heat weighing on your mind, you saw him, as his screen cut through the darkness.
"Sweetheart, you couldn't possibly bother me even if you tried. Of course I want to help you if it makes you feel better. It'll calm you down for a few days, right?"
"Yeah, but-"
"Then I'll be with you for as long as it takes. I don't want to see you in that state when I could just... give you some relief." He had thrown his clothes on the floor, probably worried about soiling them if he'd left them on the couch. His white, silicone shaft twitched, now completely erect and eager.
"Then please... please, fuck me, Tenna. You're all I can think about right now and... I can't-"
"Okay, okay. Don't worry, I got you."
Since your arms were too tired, he started undressing you as quickly as possible, leaving your clothes on the ground alongside his.
You started panting more and more heavily, when Tenna licked one of his digits carefully, only to use it to start opening you up. The relief didn't hesitate to arrive. You moaned and puffed, as your entrance sucked on his finger, trying to hold him in.
"You're... very warm. Oh, you poor little thing." His digit pressed and curled, deeper and deeper, hoping to make the next step less painful for you.
"You're okay. You'll feel better in no time, trust me, just let me take care of you." Arousal hugged his finger, almost overflowing, as your body seemed to focus on one single thing.
Before you knew it, he pulled out, only to use your fluids to coat his dick as a substitute for a lubricant. Tenna's pleasured heaving turned you on even more, as he hovered over you and placed his shaft right next to your dripping hole.
"Breathe in, okay? I'll go slow." You meekly nodded before the head spread you open with ease. Suddenly, that heat and arousal felt right, the right state for your mind to be in, when he gently pushed to reach your deepest place. When Tenna loomed over your small frame, you just embraced him weakly with your small hands, to keep him from escaping, to intertwine him to you until your body would have been satisfied.
"Don't worry, star. Hah... hahh, I'm here, I'm not going anywhere." He hunched over you, caging you in, with his elbows next to your head.
When you squeezed his dick in appreciation, Tenna started thrusting, filling you up with his flesh and making you scream in delight. He, too, started audibly moaning, enjoying how slick your arousal had become due to your heatened state. His screen grazed the top of your head to reassure you, as your cries joined together to compose a rapid ballad.
Deeper, faster, and deeper he went, chasing his peak, while you gladly took the pleasure that your mind had been craving ever since this morning.
Except that this was no dream of yours.
Your coil snapped faster than you'd expected, probably heightened by your aroused state, but your hole clenched around Tenna while your body tensed and sang, calling out to him.
He came soon after you, hunching over even more before his shaft buried deep inside you to release his cum. Your body hugged him in response, happily taking what it was seeking, only for Tenna to slouch over you tenderly, with his dick still inside you.
You already felt way better, even if tiredness as the first thing in the morning would have never been welcome in your mind.
"Thank you." You muttered between breaths as your stroked his back.
"Don't mention it, star. Ask me everytime you need, okay?"
Your arousal hugged him to show your appreciation.
