In the bustling world of television, there was a show that had captured the hearts of viewers for generations.

And at the center of it all was a puppet. Who had a striking blue pompadour and his lavender eyes.

Reboot was a character from the famous TV show 𝒲𝑒𝓁𝒸𝑜𝓂𝑒 𝐻𝑜𝓂𝑒 a show set in a cozy house filled with a diverse cast of puppets.

But it was a bit different from the original version, as this was the late '90s rebooted version.

The current main star was rather particular about that distinction. 𝙃𝙚 𝙙𝙞𝙙 𝙉𝙊𝙏 𝙚𝙣𝙟𝙤𝙮 𝙗𝙚𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩

Any mention of it would instantly sour his mood.

But in his own mind, he considered himself the superior and better character.

And it showed in his attitude, he was very well... overconfident and a bit full of himself.

Life on the set of 𝒲𝑒𝓁𝒸𝑜𝓂𝑒 𝐻𝑜𝓂𝑒 was about to take an unexpected turn as an actor was introduced to the show.

Y/n and their character were intended to be the love interest of Reboot, something they both hadn't initially signed up for, but the producers had other plans.

Since romance is very popular and profitable.

Their first introduction went somewhat like this...

Reboot hadn't been able too resist the urge to turn on his smug charm as soon as he met his supposed love interest.

Reboot placed himself confidently into their path. "Are you a magician? Because whenever I look at you, everyone else disappears."

Y/n raised an eyebrow, unamused by his theatrics. "Nice try." They replied with a hint of sarcasm. "But I've heard better pick-up lines before."

Undeterred, he leaned in closer. "Well then, how about this one? Are you made of copper and tellurium? Because you're Cu-Te."

A faint blush graced their cheeks but they quickly tried to hide it. "You have to try harder than that."

And he took that as a personal challenge.

"Darling, they say the camera adds ten pounds but trust me, it's done wonders for my charisma."

"Charisma, huh? I guess I'll be the judge of that."

Y/n scoffed as Reboot made the confident claim. They gave him a playful nudge in his sides.

"You know, I thought puppets were supposed to be cute and cuddly, not cocky and charming."

"Trust me, I can do cute and cuddly too, just wait and see."

Y/n was getting a flustered again as Reboot took their hands placing it against his cheeks.

It was quite the adorable action so they instinctively cooed.

"Your so squishy!"

"Mhmhm~"

He was letting out a content sigh as his felt his face being caressed by them. It was heavenly.

.

Y/n did discover that there was more to Reboot than met the eye.

He was not just a bundle of energy and narcissism; he had depth and warmth hidden beneath that bright exterior.

And he, for the first time in a long time, found himself forming a true connection.

One evening, under the studio lights, he looked at them with vulnerability.

"You know, you're not too bad for a human and I guess I'm not such a bad puppet either."

They chuckled, their initial annoyance already long replaced by genuine fondness.

"I suppose you're right. Maybe we're both better versions of ourselves when we're together."

In the darkness of the light, they slowly leaned in to share a kiss.
