I've wanted to write a fanfiction like this for a while, so I guess I found the right opportunity here! Enjoy!

You were practically buzzing with excitement today, because you had recovered something to that your Soft One ancestors used: a radio player. Or, a Stereo, to be precise. What mattered was that it played music that wasn't just programmed into a box, it used CDs, a rare commodity in this world. So, obviously, you had to show Zbaltazar.

"Zbaltazar!!!" You called from the very bottom of AntVillage, trying to make your way up. Unfortunately, because it was so heavy, the Stereo weighed you down and pulled on your joints horribly. But, your determination dragged you through, until you finally reached your boyfriend's meditating room.

"Ughh... Y/n, as much as I love you, I cant stand it if you bellow my name and bring strange Soft One objects into my room."

"But I know you'll love this! You know how its been one of your dreams to hear Human music? From ages ago??"

"Wait, it can do that?"

"Yup!! With these!" You held up 3 CD cases from ages ago, the... 1980s, maybe? Nevermind that, you wanted to hear how they sounded! You carefully took one out of the case and placed it into the CD slot. It was called 'I'm Still Standing', made by someone called Elton John and it was loud, motivation and gave you the impression "the world is cruel, but you have to go through that go come out smiling". As you and Zbalt were dancing to the beat, the whole of AntVillage was sprung into joy and wonder, the music spreading to the furthest, unreachable corners of the sewers.

As the music came to a close, you took the CD out and replaced it with an second, called 'Uptown Girl' by Billy Joel. It began abruptly, startling you, but soon enough, you were back to dancing, but by the time it was over, your joints were tired from moving so much, so you had a little rest. Zbalt stood next to you, exhausted too.

You put the next CD in, a song called 'I Wanna Know What Love Is' by Foreigner. As the song started, slowly, Zbaltazar slipped his arm around your waist, and placed your hands on his shoulders. Soon, you two were gracefully dancing, slowly to the music. Through all this, your screens didn't leave eachother, affectionately smiling. At one another. As the chorus started again, you two pressed your screens together, pulling you both into a tender and passionate kiss. You moved slowly to the music, the tops of your front panels connected to one another, his TVs all showed hearts on their screens.

"I love you, Zbaltazar."

"I love you too, y/n."
