Moondrop and Sundrop

"Well shit.."

something to remember about eclipse, he has 2 pairs of arms and is british. he has red eyes but his body's color scheme (i have no clue on how to spell that)you is more similar to suns. he is also there when the lights are dimmed.

    You had recently been hired as a daycare attendee. Right now, your task was to go collect 5 spare parts from the back room, which would be the door standing right in front of you. If only you could just step in, but the clingy daycare animatronic isn't allowing you to do so at the moment. "Nonono! Starbite, you mustn't go in there! It's forbidden! The daycare rules say so!" and yada yada yada.

    But you couldn't listen to him right now because you had a job to do, that if you didn't complete, you'd be fired. "Sunny, I really wish that I could listen to you, but my boss specifically told me to go in there. I can't just disobey a direct order, or else I'll be fired!" You countered his bickery. "And if I get fired, I can't see you anymore! We won't be able to hang out! At all!" And with that, he finally let go. "But promise me that you will come back with only the scraps and don't touch anything else, alright Sunbeam?"

    You agreed and went through the door. Inside the room, you collected 3 spare parts before noticing an abnormally large box. Now, considering your promise you made to Sundrop, you had to leave it alone, but.. in the end, curiosity got the better of you and you put the scraps down next to the door. You carefully yet curiously made your way over to the abnormally big box, and saw an animatronic of some sort. It sort of reminded you of Sunny, but Moony at the same time. It had this weird uncanny feeling wired around it, like you couldn't shake it off.

    You shut the box, grabbed the spare parts, found the other 2 parts you had to get, and left. You entered the room to see Sunny deep in thought. He was sitting on the edge of the bed, his leg shaking to show his anxiety. "Hey Sunny, I'm alright. No need to be so scared for nothing." you smiled. As soon as those words had left your mouth, his head turned towards you and perked up. "Sunbeam! You're back!" He said it with such excitement that you giggled, he reminded you of a lost puppy whenever he did that.

    Sundrop picked you up and brought you close to his chest, making your feet leave the ground since he was standing to his full height. He twirled around with you still close, near his chest. After a few more turns, he put you down. Still as giddy as he was before, he asked if you wanted to zip line with him, despite him being not so good at it.

    "Uhm.. y' know Sunny, i have this really big fear of heights and" you didn't even get to finish as he picked you up, and held you firmly against his chest once more. "As long as you don't look down its gonna be so fun!" he said as he was connecting his wire to the zip line. You just stuffed your face into his chest. Surprised that it was soft, you cuddled into it more. It relaxed you a little considering it smelled like pineapples and passion fruit.

    You could've fallen asleep if it wasn't for the wind that started to blow on you and the height dropping at an alarmingly decreasing rate. You wrapped your arms and firmly against Sunny's body as you could and almost shed a tear if it weren't for Sundrop putting one of his hands on your bottom to keep you stable and one on your back, rubbing circles.

    He could sense that you were stressed when you came out of the room so he thought that this would calm you down but it only stressed you more. "I'm sorry star, I thought that this would calm you down, and distract you for a little.." he said. You stayed frozen for a while until you finally looked down, then up and kissed his faceplate.

"It's alright, as long as they were good intentions, then I don't mind too much!" you murmured, still a little flustered from kissing his faceplate.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Later that day, you completed all your tasks and returned to the daycare. You still couldn't shake off that feeling. The one from earlier.. about the box.. And before you knew it, you were back in that room staring at the box. If the animatronic was still there, you had been worried for nothing, but if it wasn't..  And you were this close to actually going limp in your spot because Sunny had crept up behind you and hugged you. "Sunny, that scared me so much. What are you doing here? I thought you hated this room?" You questioned him. He didn't respond, only kept breathing on your neck. You slowly turn your head and you were met with the same faceplate as before.. from the box...

    Your legs were starting to give out, they were about to collapse but then the animatronic picked you up, cradling you in his arms like a small, little baby. "My my, what a pretty little thing we have here.." He paused. "so fragile.." He muttered the last part but you still got it. His thick British accent doing something to your body.

"now, what to do with you.." he seemed to be thinking aloud, and with what he said so far, you were petrified. he kept observing you and your every move. It felt sickening knowing that at any moment, he could just snap something of yours right then and there. "why isn't sun here yet.." you whispered under your breath, which he caught. "oh hunny, baby.. I am him." That sentence left you shocked. Your mind was racing with something that could answer any of your questions, but nothing came to mind. "You see.. I am him. It's the same logic as with Moondrop and Sundrop. All they did was shut me down and separate me, but now I can simply join back, how fun is that!"

Your eyes were collecting tears, ready to drop. "Oh no hunny, don't cry.." He said trying to soothe you. "They aren't dead after all." You broke. It was a waterfall. You were balling, sobbing, all of the above.

He switched your position, you were now facing his chest and his arm was on your bottom, keeping you up. You felt another arm rubbing circles on your back. And strangely enough there were 2 more hands, one playing with your hair. "Shh.. don't cry now.." He carries you to the nap room and sits down, with you still in his arms. He never let go of you, not even once.

Eventually you fell asleep, still crying. Once you awoke, you were still on his lap. He seemed to be in rest mode so you took your chances and ran. You carefully one by one put his hands down and RAN. You didn't care for anything but to run and turn the lights fully on. If he was here when the lights were dimmed, and Moon when the lights are completely off, and Sun was here when the lights were on, then you were gonna do it.

Once you were in the middle of the daycare, you were starting to hear metal moving around. You panicked and ran towards the light switch. Once it was in view, you ran faster than you thought you could, and managed to turn on the light. You heard Sunny's familiar voice and cried while running towards it. Sunny also ran towards the weeping.

You have never been more happy to see a childish, yellow animatronic. "Sunny!" You yelled through your tears. He quickly ran and was by your side in no time. He picked you up and hugged you close. "Hello my little sunbeam" Sunny soothed you as he picked you up in his arms and held you close to your chest. You hugged him with all your might and kept on muttering about how much you missed him and how you love him. He eventually perched himself up against a wall, sitting down, and rubbed your back while whispering praises into your ears about how brave you were.

You calmed down and just clinged onto him occasionally, using him as a stuffed animal. He didn't mind, as long as you were safe and next to him. You both knew that wouldn't be the last time you saw him, but for now, that didn't matter.
