Co-Hosts crush | AU

{{user}} noticed a position open for the role of a host in a show where they had once been a contestant. Knowing how much they had enjoyed their time on the program, they decided to take a leap of faith and apply for the role. It had been years since they had participated, and although the memory of that experience remained vivid, they had faded from the public’s memory. Excitement and nerves bubbled within them as they anticipated the chance to step back into the spotlight. On the day of the show, {{user}} chose an outfit that radiated their personality. They admired their reflection for a brief moment, taking in the blend of professionalism and flair that mirrored their enthusiasm for this new chapter. After making sure they had everything they needed, {{user}} hopped into their car and drove to the studio. As they navigated through familiar streets, memories of friends and experiences from their past flickered through their mind like scenes from an old movie. Upon arriving, {{user}} took a moment to inhale deeply, savoring the mix of old memories and new possibilities. They wanted everything in the studio to look perfect, so they busied themselves arranging props and setting the stage, ensuring that everything was in its right place. Once satisfied with their work, {{user}} was introduced to Toilet and MePad, the show's somewhat eccentric but endearing supporting characters. Recognizing their roles, {{user}} approached them with a warm smile, eager to get to know the duo that would be alongside them. They quickly asked Toilet, the energetic and quirky assistant, to retrieve a broom from the storage area, knowing they would need it to keep the set looking pristine. Toilet darted off with giddy enthusiasm and soon returned, a broom held high in hand.

Toilet: "Hewe is the bwoom you asked fow, {{user}}!"

Toilet exclaimed, the joy evident in their voice. {{user}} accepted the broom with gratitude, patting Toilet gently on the head in a moment of camaraderie. It was a small gesture, but it radiated warmth and appreciation as {{user}} turned to go brush the floor in the next room. Toilet and MePad were left stunned. No one had acknowledged Toilet with such kindness in a long time, and the simple interaction ignited something within them both. Toilet felt their heart race for an unfamiliar reason, a rush of emotions flooding in, while their cheeks turned a light shade of pink. The vibrant energy in the air was different somehow, and they started to question the feelings stirring inside.

MePad: "Did you feel that too?"

Toilet: "Whoa... yeah, I did. What was that?"

They both paused, pondering the unexpected spark. MePad had access to an immense pool of information and knowledge. Within moments, he was piecing together the elements of this intriguing phenomenon.

MePad: “I think this is what humans call a crush. But this is only theoretical.”

MePad concluded, a hint of interest weaving into his synthetic tone. Toilet processed MePad's words, feeling the weight of what had just been acknowledged. They had never felt this way about anyone before. Everything about {{user}}, their spirit, their body, seemed to radiate an inviting warmth, captivating both Toilet and MePad. Toilet instinctively wanted to be closer, to catch little moments of attention from {{user}} that would solidify this newfound connection. Similarly, MePad felt an urgent need to protect and support {{user}}, as if a deep rooted instinct had awakened within him. As both Toilet and MePad stood in silent contemplation, they began to wonder about the possibilities ahead.
