Somnolent

CHAPTER 2

Moon let the child finish his snack before beginning his questions. Take it slow, Moonie. Of course, he'd say that. For good reason, he looks irritated!

"Can you tell me your name, little star?" The attendant asked, leading the boy to a table. Once seated, Moon leaned against a play structure. The boy seemed to be even more tense than before. Moon was surprised that the boy followed him to the table to eat his snack.

"I'm not little. " The boy snapped, before attempting to leave the chair he was in, but that was short-lived because Moon just pushed him back down. He'd rather keep him seated. He is little! Like Vivian and Luck. He's not that small.

"Alright, Alright." Moon held up his hands in fake surrender. "Little kids are usually the ones who won't tell me their names." Moonie...Well played. It took everything in Moon not to burst into laughter at his brother's response.

He refocused his attention on the child and awaited his answer. After a few moments of silence, the boy sighed.

"Gregory." The child mumbled, and Moon gave him a satisfied hum. Gregory was a nice name for a boy. A cute name!

"Can you tell me how old you are?" He asked, tilting his head in a questioning manner and watching the boy hold up 8 fingers. His assumption was right! Take that Sunbutt. Real mature Moonie. Sun was just upset Moon was right. I'm not, you just have an ego.

"Are you in any pain?" Gregory shook his head.

"Would you object to me checking for any cuts or bruises?" Gregory glared at Moon before sliding his chair a couple of inches away. "I'll wait then."

"Where are you living?" Gregory didn't answer, but that was all Moon needed to confirm his assumption. The moon animatronic moved away from his spot against the play structures and began to walk towards his little nap area.

"Follow me, Starlight" The nap time attendant led Gregory to his little room and pulled the curtain to reveal the interior. Gregory's eyes widened in surprise, but only for a moment before he frowned once more. Moon chuckled at that and, to easily lead him past the sleeping children, took the boy's hand in his. Gregory flinched at the touch, but did his best to tough it out. He wasn't a baby after all. The attendant led the boy to a cot closest to the room's center and to where Moon would be sitting.

"Rest Starlight." He encouraged and made his way to his stool to watch all the children. Gregory stood as stiff as a board for a few moments. Was this a trick? He didn't know, but what he did know was that he was tired. Fuck it. Gregory climbed onto the cot and pulled the blanket over his head.

"Sweet dreams, little star," Moon cooed from where he sat. Now would be a great time to run a wellness check and fill in Gregory's information, but first.
