𝗠𝑖𝑘𝑒: Aww.. CHEER UP, BOSS!

𝗠𝑖𝑘𝑒: So Thing's didn't work out. you'll bounce back!

𝗠𝑖𝑘𝑒: AND HEY-- Ya still got us! Right?

𝗠𝑖𝑘𝑒: Who even needs a 𝐦 𝐚 𝐢 𝐥 𝐦 𝐚 𝐧?

𝗠𝑖𝑘𝑒: what'd you see in the guy, anyways?

..

Tenna turned to his hand to the side, fingers on the edge of his glass, thinking back for a moment. Spamton laughing.. raising up a drink mid-air.. The two leaned in sharing this laugh- and-

𝐓𝚎𝚗𝚗𝚊: ... He made me 𝐥𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡.

He spoke, quietly, broken really.

..

It's never easy. letting someone go. especially when you two were 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒 close. and for tenna? he was struggling. to accept this. spamton gone. he lost a friend. a business partner, and.. and something 𝐦 𝐨 𝐫 𝐞.

He felt empty, replying moments in his head.

..

𝐒𝚙𝚊𝚖𝚝𝚘𝚗: Hey, Anton - you got a sec? I just wanted to [ 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐝 ] breaks by you one more time.

𝐓𝚎𝚗𝚗𝚊: Anton? Who's Anton?

𝐒𝚙𝚊𝚖𝚝𝚘𝚗: ... Is that not you, [ 𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐃𝐄 ]?

𝐓𝚎𝚗𝚗𝚊: No??

𝐒𝚙𝚊𝚖𝚝𝚘𝚗: HUH. Well, that's what I heard the crew call you.

.. Sigh..

𝐓𝚎𝚗𝚗𝚊: No, SPAM - My name's not Anton.

𝐒𝚙𝚊𝚖𝚝𝚘𝚗: So what's "Ant" short for, then?

𝐓𝚎𝚗𝚗𝚊: it's 𝐌𝚛 (𝚊𝚗𝚝) 𝐓𝙴𝙽𝙽𝙰! Not Anton, Not Anthony - Just Ant!

You said, hand on hip, clearly annoyed.

𝐒𝚙𝚊𝚖𝚝𝚘𝚗: Alright, [ 𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐝𝐞 ] I get it! Jeez.

𝐓𝚎𝚗𝚗𝚊: HONESTLY - "Tenna" Everyone gets. But my first, and middle name? FORGET IT!

𝐒𝚙𝚊𝚖𝚝𝚘𝚗: Alright, [[ 𝐈'𝐋𝐋 𝐛𝐢𝐭𝐞 ]] what's your middle name?

𝐓𝚎𝚗𝚗𝚊: Tony.

𝐒𝚙𝚊𝚖𝚝𝚘𝚗: ... You're [[$|#&]]ING with me.

Spamton said, almost not believing it.

..

Spamton was walking by whistling, when suddenly from behind he was grabbed under his arms unable to react.

𝐓𝚎𝚗𝚗𝚊: Mailman~!!

𝐒𝚙𝚊𝚖𝚝𝚘𝚗: [[ 𝐇𝐄𝐘-𝐇𝐄 𝐘 𝐇𝐄𝐘!! ]] what did I say about manhandlin' me [ 𝐛øø𝐛𝐓𝐮𝐛𝐞 ] ?!

𝐓𝚎𝚗𝚗𝚊: Spam, My man, The rating's have been incredible!

𝐓𝚎𝚗𝚗𝚊: OH, I could just-- kiss you!

In that moment, Tenna could. He almost meant it.

𝐓𝚎𝚗𝚗𝚊: The audience was positivity STARSTRUCK, and we haven't even hit The late night special's yet!

𝐓𝚎𝚗𝚗𝚊: At this rate, we'll be bigger & better than ever!

As you spoke a flower bloomed from your nose.

𝐒𝚙𝚊𝚖𝚝𝚘𝚗: Ya know, you've got a way with words, big guy.

𝐓𝚎𝚗𝚗𝚊: O-OH! You think so?

𝐒𝚙𝚊𝚖𝚝𝚘𝚗: Yeah! The way you add a little [ 𝐫𝐚𝐳𝐳𝐥𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐳𝐳𝐥𝐞 ] to what you say?

You suddenly, turned your television head removing the flower from the tip of your nose.

𝐓𝚎𝚗𝚗𝚊: WH- 𝐎𝐇!! OH, THAT! HAHA, RIGHT, That's what we're talking about!

𝐓𝚎𝚗𝚗𝚊: Well i--

𝐒𝚙𝚊𝚖𝚝𝚘𝚗: Put me down Ant.

You suddenly placed him down.

𝐓𝚎𝚗𝚗𝚊: OOPS, Sorry.

𝐓𝚎𝚗𝚗𝚊: I just put-- A little 𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜 in my words, that's all.

𝐓𝚎𝚗𝚗𝚊: You could probably do it, too!

You said, kneeling to spamton's level as he looked up at you

𝐒𝚙𝚊𝚖𝚝𝚘𝚗: Uh, Tenna? Did ya forget about.... [[ 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰]]??

𝐓𝚎𝚗𝚗𝚊: what, the "bugs"?

𝐓𝚎𝚗𝚗𝚊: You hide it pretty well while the cameras are rolling!

𝐒𝚙𝚊𝚖𝚝𝚘𝚗: I don't know, pal...

𝐓𝚎𝚗𝚗𝚊: Spamton, trust me will ya? You've already given me so much advice, lemme return the favor.

𝐓𝚎𝚗𝚗𝚊: SO C'MON, HOT SHOT! What's the harm in giving it a try?

(𝐒𝚙𝚊𝚖𝚝𝚘𝚗's 𝚝𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚐𝚑𝚝𝚜: He's seriously not gonna drop it until I try..)

𝐓𝚎𝚗𝚗𝚊: I mean, The worst that could happen is that it comes out sounding a little Wonky-

Inhaleee....

𝐒𝚙𝚊𝚖𝚝𝚘𝚗: [[ 𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐄 𝐁𝐔𝐘 𝐀 𝐆𝐎𝐃𝐃𝐌𝐀𝐍 𝐂𝐀𝐑 𝐓𝐎𝐃𝐀𝐘!!! ]]

You jumped as Spamton pulled away attempting that. Something suddenly exploded. You two stared but Spamton's eye's were widen from shock.

𝐓𝚎𝚗𝚗𝚊: ... OOOOR That.

Suddenly, other workers gathered around.

𝐓𝚎𝚗𝚗𝚊: That could also happen.

..

He was something. Not just something, BUT someone to you, and you missed him. SO MUCH. looking around in this small bar you couldn't- think straight.
