I'll Be Better For You [Montyx Sun/Moon]

Chapter 1 Reaching out

Monty was pulled into a meeting after work. He sat whit the oh so familiar guard, Vanessa and some other staff. The bassist sat down, the guard put down their papers, facing him in the not so well lit office. Whit them other for people, some from costuming, other's from maintenance and few from the guards, it was closing time so guards being there wasn't the greatest idea. She opened the file, clearing her throat and finally speaking up.

Vanessa: Were you briefed on why you're here?

Monty: Not really, I was all day in birthday parties.- the alligator stated, starting to get uneasy. It's not everyday the chief guard, people of very important departments come together for a meeting.

Vanessa: That explains why you're so anxious. We aren't here to speak of you, rather about Sun and Moon.

Monty: Really? I haven't seen them in a while, what is this about?

Vanessa: They had to leave for a while and their leave of absence is almost up so, were getting things ready to get things running so by the end of the week, we need you to go talk to him. You see their situation is rather complicated, I can't say the details of it, but we would really appreciate if a fellow performer helped them get back on track.

Monty: Alright, why me?

Vanessa: You both started working here the same time and I remember you having a big absence a while back.

Monty: Yeah, I got pretty sick didn't I?

Vanessa: Exactly. We figured that you're the best person to help him, thanks to those factor's.

Monty: So what do I have to do?

Vanessa: Well, at first, just go by their apartment. Talk to them. They've been isolated since they came back, for my understanding. Afterwards, come whit him to the different meeting's. Help him get back on his feet.

Monty: Alright, does this mean I'll be resigned to the daycare until then?

Vanessa: If needed. If today you have time to, we would like for you to go to his apartment, it's in the same building has all of our performer's, it's a floor up yours. If they don't go to the door- she started, going over to Monty, putting down some keys- Here's the keys. He knows that someone is coming by today. Be kind to them alright?

Monty: Of course. Is that all?

Vanessa: For now, you're free to leave.

Monty: See ya.- he said before getting up and leaving the pizza plex, he now walked to his car, driving home.

He parked his car, going over to the familiar building, it wasn't that far from the pizza plex, just enough to garantee the safety of the performers. This apartment complex wasn't that big, it had three floors, in each two apartments. The alligator moved to the elevator, going to the highest floor, not caring to change before going to speak whit the daycare attendant. Once there, it was easy to figure out which apartment was theirs, the door was blue, filed whit stars. He knocked, taking quite a while for the door to be open. In front of him, Moon, the house was dark, it was hard for him to see inside. All he could see was Moon, in a dark blue hoodie and mustard flowy pants. He noticed how tired he looked, how his eyes had huge bags, how the skin around his fingers was utterly destroyed. He squinted from the light outside.

Monty: Hi!

Moon: Hi?

Monty: I wanted to talk to you and Sun, see, Vanessa said I was supposed to help you back to work, I believe you've been sick or something like that?

Moon: Oh she sent help... Great. I'm not the one that needs it tho. I'm ready to get back to work, Sunny isn't.

Monty: Why not?- the taller sighed,before replying.

Moon: It's best if you see it... Come in.- they said before moving away from the door, the other going inside the apartment, Moon closing the door, grabbing his hand and guided him through the the pitch dark, they were now in the kitchen, that the alligator could tell, but he couldn't see much- I'm sorry sunny.- he muttered to himself, going to the light turning it on.

Monty couldn't focus on the messy kitchen, whit the trash overfilling the plates pilled up everywhere and whit empty bottles of soda in the ground, all he could focus was on them. How their face changed and contorted, how he digged into it and groaned.

Sun?: no! No! Don't let me out!!- it came out of their mouth, distorted. Now he stood there immidiatly taking his fingers to his mouth, destroying even more the skin around his fingers, he looked anxious.

Monty: Are you alright?- he asked, going to put his hands on the side of his arms, but before they rested there, the other took a deep breath.

Sun: Ah! No! No! Don't touch me!!- the alligator raised his hands up, in front of the other.

Monty: I'm not touching you, see?

Sun: Right... Right... What are you doing in my house?? Why did you force me out?!

Monty: Vanessa told me to come by.

Sun: No! Vanessa would know better then to send a man here!- the older stood back, thinking of the mess he got himself in.

Monty: I'm non binary.- he let out defeated, once again they were missgendered, it started to get to him a lot.

Sun: Oh.- they let out, clearly something of the kind and old Sun was still inside of them- Sorry.... Still you're very.. threatening. What are you doing here?

Monty: I'm inside because Moon let me in and Vanessa sent me to help you. I've also had a big absence and she wants to be sure that you're ok.

Sun: Why? Why did you have that absence?- they asked, scratching his left arm.

Monty: I got really sick, spent sometime in the hospital.

Sun: Me too...- he said, suddenly they both heard his stomach rumbling.

Monty: Hey if you're hungry, I can cook for you. Just go downstairs.

Sun: N-no! I'm not leaving the house! It's not safe outside.

Monty: Are you fine having Moon going downstairs?- he nodded- Alright, let's go.- the other nodded, turning off the light, rummaging through stuff, getting his sunglasses and then taking the other's hand and going downstairs. Once inside the apartment, they sat on the living room, it had purple walls, a tv and a black couch, by the window was a small table. Moon sat there, Monty fixing some pancakes and tea for him to eat- Are you sure that's all you want?

Moon: Yes. Thank you.- he said grabbing the tea and taking a sip- You understand that is going to be very hard to get him back to work right? I can't work whitout him either.

Monty: Yeah... What even happened?

Moon: It's not my place to tell, but it was traumatizing enough that Sun doesn't want to leave the house. This is my first time out since we came back home...

Monty: We have a big road up ahead don't we?

Moon: Yeah. We really need to work too, the money is begining to not cover all expenses.. just the meds are so expensive.

Monty: Well, I'm gonna be here to help you two all along the way, so anything and I mean anything, I'm here for you two.

Moon: Thank you Monty... Sun can use someone to talk and be around. Bettwen everything our connection has suffered. They can't hear me when he's out... His mind is in ruins.

Monty: How are you holding up? You two do share a mind.- the other's eyes got teary.

Moon: Very, very badly...

Monty: Do you want a hug.- the other nodded whipping off the tears whit the back of  their hands, they both got up, Moon loosing his coolness in the other's arms, crying has the other rubbed his back- Everything is fine, you don't need to deal whit this alone any more.

Moon: Thanks.
