And the lights turned off, painting the daycare in a dark blue overlay. Hideous timing, am I right?

You felt "Suns" grip tighten. And not only a second later, you were dropped, landing on your ass. There goes that moment of calm.
Oh wait-
You immediately scurry back on your feet, taking a few steps back, you just remembered the issue here. Doing this, seemed to make Moons smile wider, metaphorically.

"Aww Sun actually did it? Pathetic...." You heard Moons voice, it was mocking. Either you or Sun? You couldn't tell.
No wonder Sun was so adamant on his Moon distaste, the poor thing's getting made fun of for being friendly.
"Fucking..-" You mumbled, about to say something, but you got interrupted, good thing too; you had no idea what you planned to say.
"Hmm? Are you mad at me for the lights turning off? Tsk, tsk. You know that isn't my fault Darling."
You would've been at least a little flattered by the nickname if it didn't sound so condescending.

You were about to say something in response, but you were really running out of material here. You couldn't let your pride down, and kiss ass, but at the same time saying anything could've gotten you beat.

"What's that expression for? You wouldn't mind me being here if you weren't so. . ." Moon trailed off slowly, dragging along the final word, and you felt his stare directly at your forehead, though it would've been more embarrassing for you if he finished the sentence.

"Me?" You asked in disbelief, the hypocrisy was hurdling irk waves at you, "-Nobody turns the lights off purposely because they don't like you." You hissed, before your expression cringed a bit, you'd wish you didn't say that.
"That's the point."
.Β  .Β  . Uh? You eyed him carefully, as best you could in the dark at least.
"Not being liked?" You paraphrased, it was either the absurdity of it all, or the fact that you didn't quite think he was completely sincere.
"Yes..! Shame. . Thought you would've caught on." Yeah that was bullshit, no hidden undertones there. Every glow opacity change in his eyes always told you that he was messing with you, it's so often now that it's just offensive.
"I... I just don't expect many people to enjoy other's distaste."

His face plate swayed slowly, your suddenly cowering voice wasn't expected, you weren't the best at keeping a constant emotion or personality, maybe he could use that later. You looked up from the floor, and he let out a hum, he wasn't going to let you catch him in thought."I love it."

"A-ha. So, I'm that case, you're saying you aren't misunderstood?" You were a little sarcastic, but you did think about it before.
You jumped a little when Moon hissed, as in offended you would even think about saying that.
"Misunderstood?" He repeated, with more venom and unbelief than you could've spat. "-No. I'm exactly what they say I am." He took a strange pride in saying this, like all the titles were a compliment. An award.
"Well you didn't seem fully-"
Deranged. You were going to say deranged; you didn't, you shut yourself up the second you saw him shift towards you, you instinctively took a step back.

"I'm a monster Y/n. And trust me when I say, I love that title." Moon sounded defensive if anything, like anyone was daring to combat the statement, well in a way...
"It just seems a little..." You trailed off, your expression cringing as you almost ran your mouth.
A sharp static sound ran through his voice box, distaste maybe?
In one swift motion he lifts you by the collar on your shirt, your hands instinctively holding onto his wrists, your feet tried to plant on ground, feeling nothing gave you a shiver of panic.
"I have no reason to hurt you Y/n. But if I ever do, You're dead." His voice was hasty, but low, a slight whisper.
"Do you hear me Y/n? I'll fΜΆΜŒΝ„Μ£uΜ·Μ‰ΝŠΜ«Μ¦c̢̘̚kΜ΅Ν€Μ¦Μ§i̸̯̺͊nΜ·Ν€Μ‰ΜΌgΜΈΜŽΜ’Ν“ kill you."

He let go of your shirt, pushing you back, causing you to stumble, and almost fall. "Yeah- I do, kinda hard to not... you're, the... only one talking." Were you coping-? Or trying to do that 'bigger animal' 'fake confidence' tactic? Cause it. . . Wow, it was failing.
"If Sun didn't . . ." His eyes brightened, he cut himself off, a squeaky squeal leaving his voice box, as if something was trying to block him out.
". . . I was.. sorry." You apologized, you couldn't tell if it didn't anything.

He backed up, plopping on the floor, stting down crisscross, you 'inspected' his design from afar for a few seconds, he glared at you, his face-plate idly swaying as he tried figuring you out, at least a bit.
"Are those claws?" You blurted out, refraining a smile from creeping up on your face.

Going up to him, you sat infront, staring at his hand for a little while.
Before you tentatively traced a finger down one of his nails

"Don't touch me." Moon hissed, not bothering to move. You glanced up at him, "Holy shit dude. That's pretty cool. Are these retractable?" You say, poking the top of a nail, there was the same sound of static distaste, but it was much quieter.
"No."
"Oh- That's pretty sharp.." You whisper retracting a hand.

You heard him scoff, and you glided a thumb over his hand, you've been way pushing your social limits today."Can I paint your nails?"
"Y/n." He interjected, which was definitely a 'no'.
"A nice hot pink? Or, we could do black. Black is fine, it'll match you!"

"...No."
"Blue! You would even know it's there! Until... It starts peeling off... We don't have to paint your nails today I have any nail polish right now... But I can get some!"

"No."
"Geez- is that the only thing you're about to say?-" Quoting at a time like this, how shameful. "-Well, How about Sunny? I should paint his nails.. Does Sun have claws?" A smile stretched on your face, now that would be fun. And less risk.

"No. Sun doesn't." There was hardly a distinguishable tone besides irritation, which finally snapped you out of it.
"Oh. Sorry-" You cringed a bit, the switch up was embarrassing as hell.
You heard a small electrical sound from above.

Click.

. . .
You watched fascinated, as different plates on their body flipped and shifted, Moon's faceplate folding out, and folding behind Suns, the hat retracting with a jingle, and the idyllic bright orange rays popped out.
"Y/n! I'm SO sorry! I must've lost track of...?" Sun went quiet, his voice switching quickly from worry to confusion, you made eye-contact with him for a second, before letting go of his hand, and pulling your hand back to your side.
"Uhhh- Nothing."

The problem wasn't that you were holding his hand, no, not really. It was the fact that you looked like you were about kiss his hand. You know, out of context, It's kinda weird.

You exhaled through your teeth.
'I suddenly don't want to be here.'
Sun gave you a stare, then looking down at his hand, And rubbing his wrist. "UhKay... Then I'm guessing nothing bad happened?"
"No, I'm fine." At least one thing you could say confidently.

"That's good to hear. At least Moon doesn't seem violent to you for now.."
"For now?" You raised a brow, you thought things weren't going too badly.
He sighed. "I can't make any promises. Either you'll be able to befriend him, which..." He trailed off, waiting a few beats before just moving to the next sentence, "Or, Moon will slowly start to hate you. And that would be terrible... Moon likes to.. act on whatever he's feeling."

"Hm.." You pouted out a bit, mainly in thought. Act on whatever he's feeling? Explains the static, chances are he probably just does anything on his mind, though that doesn't mean being irritated would make him fist fight you right away.
"I'm not saying there isn't a chance of him warming up to you! Even I wouldn't know... Moon doesn't really.. Talk to any adults." Sun really isn't good at comfort.
"What about... Kids?" This is just another daycare attendant if you think about it,
"I doubt he would ever hurt a child... Maybe. Buut-"

You paused. "This may sound bad- But- Why isn't he out of commission?" This would be hell if Moon somehow heard that.
"Hm... If they put one of us out of commission, both of us may be. And... We are 'relatively' New animatronics, So they wouldn't replace us just yet... Money issues and all!"
"Ah... Alright."
He shrank back a bit. "I guess if they do get enough money..." Sun stopped himself from saying anymore.
"Oh." You frowned a bit, if this tall goofy animatronic started overthinking just like you, because of you, you'd feel hella guilty.

"BUT! You know Y/n... IF you manage to get him to warm up to you... you could calm him down way more than I!" Sun clapped his hands together, always the brighter side of the sky, huh?
You puffed out an exhale, crossing your arms, "That'll never happen." You said blankly, after all, people already didn't like you, imagine how judgy robots would get?

Sun gave you a smile. And a few seconds later, he pounced on you, wrapping his arms around your neck, but it was light. There was a pause as you felt him go still, quickly pulling away with a large smile.
"Sorry! Sorry... Just to.. make up for the last hug."
