Notes/HCs (I forgot them at first, whoops. Some do not appear in this story, I just want to share!)
- Mettaton doesn't mine what pronouns you use on him. He will also defend you and your pronouns in a heartbeat!
- Mettaton enjoys romcoms and will use nicknames from your favorite romcoms for you
- dear/darling is a term he uses for everyone, when he uses it for his love interest he uses My dear or My darling.

Ever since the monsters came to the surface, you have been a huge fan of the underground superstar known as Mettaton. The confident and charming robot wasted no time establishing his name on the surface. You had made it an effort to try and help him when you could.

Since you worked for the local news, it was easy to convince both the star on the rise and your fellow reporters to set up a way to introduce Mettaton to the world, or at least the town. He was grateful for your offer and after a few interviews and questionnaire specials, MTT was on his feet and on his way to surface celebrity.

Not long after his name got out there, he was cleared for a talk show, and he knew exactly what he wanted to do next.

Your phone began to ring as you were getting ready to make dinner. You answered, "Hello, (Y/N) speaking," without looking at the caller Id.

"No need to be so formal, Darling," A familiar voice responded.

You smiled, adjusting your phone a little so you could start to cook, "Oh, Hey Mettaton. How's it going? I haven't heard from you in a hot minute."

"It's been well. You'll never guess what happened." He began, sounding like a gossiping teen.

You hummed in thought, "I can imagine it's good news. Did you get a callback for that commercial?"

Mettaton chuckled a little, "Not quite. You are close though. I got a call about that talk show request, and I've been approved. I'm getting my own talk show!"

He was right, you never would have guessed that. After all, it is rare that a new guy gets a talk show. Nonetheless, you were ecstatic, "Wow really? That's great! Have you met your co-host yet?"

"Actually, that's the reason for my call. The studio told me since a lot of people they'd ask are still unsure of monsters, I can pick my own co-host. As long as they are willing of course."

"Oh wow, that's huge. Who did you have in mind?"

"Well, I was hoping you would co-host with me? You're the reason I'm in this position and we have a lot of good chemistry on and off camera." Mettaton stated nervously. You almost dropped your phone at this. Your silence raised his concern, "Uh, (Y/N)? Darling?"

You shook your head to collect yourself, "Sorry, Sorry, I'm still here. I'd love to help out, but I need to get approved to leave my current job first."

A sigh of relief came from the other end of the line, "Take your time. Sorry to drop this no you so suddenly."

"It's okay, I'll give my boss a call right now. I'll get back in touch with his answer as soon as possible."

"Alrighty. Thanks, Darling. You're the best!"

Mettaton hangs up, and just like you promised you contacted your boss while you waited for your food to finish cooking. He didn't respond as quickly as you would have hoped, in fact, he didn't answer until the following day. Just as you had hoped, he was glad you had received such an opportunity and told you to take it, if that's what you really wanted.

And you did.

It didn't take long to get yourself moved into the big city where the studio was, Mettaton was a huge help with getting you settled in. He introduced you to the crew, the directors, and your other co-workers. Even though he was the star of the show, he always got your input on how the stage looked, things to discuss, and all sorts of things.
