BB x Marionette

Rain

(1:00 AM) nobody's POV

Another night. Night of doing nothing. Boss still didn't hire anybody, to watch over the place in the night. Maybe people are just too scared to go here? Considering all of the disappearances, it might be possible. This night, the weather was mostly fine at first. But the the ominous clouds started to cover the moon, making it more dark. Soon, the rain stated to dizzle. As the time went on, the rain got stronger and stronger. When the hour passed, it was already poring, complete with lightning and thunder.

Marionette's POV

I slept in my box, like I usually do. The music box stopped its melody a long time ago, but I could not care less. There is nobody to wind it, after all, so I enjoeyd the silence. But then I heard somebody slightly knock on the lid of my box. I woke up and sighed angrily. I opened the box, and popped my head out of it, ready to give an angry rant, but then I saw Balloon Boy standing in front of it.
"Oh, hi." - I murmured sleepely. I could not be angry with someone as cute as him. - "What brings you here? It's so late too.."
"Um... Well... I saw a lightning out of the window and..."
"Are you scared?" - I went silent for a moment, thinking on what I can do - "Do you want to come in?"
His eyes lit up - "I would love to!" - And without any warning he crawled into my box. Not that I was complaining.
I closed the lid and lied on the floor. BB was already sitting and looking at me.
"Good night" - I yawned, while trying to make myself comfortable, which was an uneasy task.
"What?" - he blinked - "Oh, yeah, good night"
The last thing I saw, before falling asleep was his blue, like the sky eyes.

BB's POV

I still cannot belive that he let me in his box! That's very big step, I think. Maybe the next step will be... No. I should not think about it. We are just friends.

 I look at him. His chest is going up and down with his breath. His eyes are closed and... Is he smiling in his sleep? "Interesting, what is he dreaming about?" I sit next to him. Then I move closer. And closer. And again a little closer. And then I lay down. His face is so close to mine. I get this wierd feeling in my chest, that I cannot describe. Suddenly, the idea came to my head. I think about it for a bit. "He would not know if I..." I move my face close to his and give a fast kiss on his cheek. After that I move away from him, as fast and quiet, as I possibly can. But he doesn't wake up. I sigh with relief and lie down close to him again. I close my eyes and drift off to sleep.

(6:05 am) Marionette's POV

I wake up, and the first thing I see is Balloon Boy's face. It was way to close. I move away from him. "I might have shifted closer to him in my sleep.." That  made me really uncomfortable. What if he woke up before me? What would he think of me? I shake this thought off and pop out of the box to look at the time. "6:05? Nice. Children won't come in until 7. I think I can sleep some more"

~Time skip to 11:30 pm~

There are still no kids.  I wonder why is it like this. I look out of my box and gaze into a window nerby. It is still rainig. No wonder, that there is noone here. I hear a sound of shifting behind me. BB woke up. I turn around and greet him with a smile
"Good morning, sleepyhead"
"Wha.. What's the time" - he yawns.
I look on the clock.
"11:30" - I said casually, and decided to play a joke on him. - "Kids are looking for you everywhere now.  And also, Bon Bon wondered where were you..."
"Wh-why didn't you wake me up?!" He jumped up and ran off. I laugh a bit, and wait for him to come back. As I expected, he soon came back. His cheeks were red with anger
"You lied to me!" - he puffed his cheeks.
"Oh, I didn't lie. It was just a joke" - I shrug and smile
"Please don't do this again. I  thought, that I would get scrapped."
"Oh, I'm sorry" - I pet him on his head - "I promise, I'll never scare you like that..." - and added in a whisper - "Maybe"
"Heyy!" - he laughs as he starts to playfully fight my hand

~Time skip to 7:00 am~

The day and night flew by so fast, wo lost the track of time. As we looked at the clock, it showed that it was seven in the morning
"Oh, look at the time" - I sigh - "Got to go back in my box"
"I wish that the night was longer" - BB stomps his foot angrily.
"Now-now. There is no need to get angry about this. We can always talk more after the day shift" - I pet him on the head.
"Alright, but no petting!" -he grabs me by the hand. Suddenly I feel warmth spreading on my face. I notice his cheeks getting red too.
He quickly lets go of my hand - "S-so.. See you later!" - he runs off, embarresed.
 In surprize I hold my hand, that he held a second ago close to my chest. I shake my head and make my way to the prize corner. "This is.. Strange" - I think - "He.. I.. Why can't I get my thoughts straight?" - I fly into my box and close the lid. After a moment of silence I murmur. "I think I'm in love"
