Chapter 10 Lover
Moon's P.O.V

I had just woken up when I felt a hand grip me at my waist. It was Sun. He was still sleeping next to me, not even knowing that he was holding me. I pushed him off as I slowly got up to go change. I can't believe that it's only been two days since Sun and I kissed for the first time, and we haven't since. I don't know why, though. I'll try to pull him in to kiss him, but he always does something to get out of the way of my kiss or just leave. I find it annoying that Sun leaves. Although we do still sleep in the same bed, I find it odd that he doesn't try to be romantic at all.

"Moony..?" I heard a small voice call out to me. Sun's voice, to be exact.

"Yes, Sunshine?~"

"I- wait, what did you say..?"

"Nothing. You need me?"

"Yeah, I was wondering if maybe we could close the daycare for the day... ?" He nervously laughed as I gave him a confused look. "I.. I guess so.. but why?" I tried to make myself sound genuine, but I think it came off as rude. "Oh, well... I just thought that maybe we could just hang out today.. and not really doing anything. " I didn't know how to respond. Yes, I wanted to spend time with Sun, but on the other hand, where would the kids go? If we close the daycare all of a sudden today, then there would be a lot of parents that would be mad at us.

"Sun, I don't know. Are you sure you want to close the daycare today?"

"Yes, I just want to be with you today."

"Ok, that's fine." I didn't want to seem worried because he, to be honest, didn't look so well. Maybe he has a virus or something. "Before that, though, I'm gonna call the front staff to tell them we're not opening today. Then we can go to the check-in area to put up a sign that says we're closed today. How does that sound?" I tried to sound enthusiastic to cover my worry. Maybe that's why he wouldn't kiss me; because he was sick. Whatever we can deal with later. I then called the front desk to tell them we were closed. They told us that it was fine and that we just needed to call them ahead next time this happened. I agreed and ended the call. While I was on the phone I didn't even notice until after that Sun wasn't in his room anymore. I finished changing, and went to look for him. As soon as I walked out to the balcony, I saw Sun sitting there with his legs hanging off the edge and a blanket on his shoulders. He had an expressionless face. I sat down and then pulled him into my lap with my face nuzzling his rays, "Sun, are you alright? Are you sick or something?" He continued to look down at the daycare with his blank expression.

"I think, maybe, it got worse this morning,"

"Got worse? You were sick before then? Why didn't you tell me?"

"I didn't think it would.. *sneeze* *sneeze*.. Get this bad.." He started to look sad. I felt so bad for him. I gently held his hand in mine. Sun began to sob as I rubbed his back with my hand to calm him down. "Sunny, everything is okay. I'll always be here for you. Why are you crying?" He turned around and continued to cry. He then buried his head in my neck. "Sunny.."

"I- I- I just didn't want *hic* you to *hic* worry about me."

"It's my job to worry about you, Sunny. I always want to make sure you're okay. "

"I know, it's just you take care of me so much, and I feel like I don't do anything for you."

"Sun, you already do so much for me." He stopped crying by then and just hugged me. I then picked Sun up and carried him to the entrance to put up a 'closed' sign. After we did that, I carried Sun back to his - well, our room now - and sat him on the bed, with the blanket still on him.

"Thank you, Moony."

"Of course, did you need anything else?" Sun just sat there in silence and then held out his arms. I took that as a sign that he wanted me, and I knelt down to hug him. I then sat down with him and pushed him onto the bed, causing him to fall back. Then I started to cuddle him as he was under me.

Sun's P.O.V

Moon is so sweet to me. He even takes the time to make sure he doesn't put all his weight on me so I can breathe (yes, they breathe, don't judge me). I love him so much, and I know he loves me, but I don't know if he actually wants to be in a relationship. I think he probably just likes our relationship as is. Sometimes, during the day when he's not with Monty, he will try to kiss me. I'm not a good kisser, well at least that's what my last partner said, but then again they were pretty abusive, so I try not to kiss people even if we've been in a relationship for a long time. I do feel bad that I don't kiss Moon back, but I just think it's better that way. Moon deserves so much better than me. I continue to think as Moon starts to caresse my neck with his lips. Slowly kissing it. I pull in my rays at the sudden touch. He's so kind and would always protect me, like every time the lights turn off, Moon is always next to me, holding my hand. I've slowly gotten better at being in the dark since he's there, and to be honest, I couldn't ever imagine my life without him.

"Moony, I'm sorry."

"For what?" He stopped kissing my neck and got up a little bit to look at me, admiring my face as my cheeks flushed with red.

"For not kissing you.. When you try to kiss me, I always turn away or move, so you can't. I'm sorry about that."

"You know you don't have to be sorry, I'm not the most attractive and handsome, so I get it."

"No, Moony, that's not it. I was in a.. bad relationship a long time ago, and they told me not to kiss them because I was a bad kisser, so I try to avoid kissing my partners as much as possible. It's not you, I promise.." Moon then cupped my face with his hand and held it gently.

"Trust me, you are definitely not a bad kisser." He leaned down and kissed me. I won't lie. This was even better than our first kiss. I put my arms around his neck, trapped in his warm embrace, still kissing. And to be honest, it was basically just making out at this point. I started to pull on Moon's hat without warning. I just couldn't help but grab onto something. Once Moon pulled away, he told me, "See? Not bad at all. Amazing, actually," He giggled. I laughed a little, too, still holding onto Moon.

"Sunny?"

"Yes, Moony?"

"Do you love me?"

"Of course I do, silly. What kind of question is that?"

"Sundrop, will you be my boyfriend? Of course you don't have to if you don't want to. I just thought tha-" I kissed Moon again, and when I stopped, I looked at him and saw him, looking at me stunned. "I- uh- um.." I then chuckled.

"Of course I will!"
*sneeze*

"Oh yeah, you're sick. You sneeze like a kitten! That's SO CUTE!!!"

"I DO NOT!"

"Don't lie. You do."

"I- ... Shut up"

Moon began to laugh, and I was a little mad at that, but I thought it was sweet that he called my sneeze cute. After that, we hugged and kissed a few more times before we fell asleep in each other's arms, never wanting to let go. I love him more than anyone I could ever imagine. I even forgot I was sick.

Honestly, when I made this, I kinda wanted to make this cringey, but whatever, I guess I made it better than I thought. Also, this chapter was 1423 words long. Have a lovely day/night, my little aliens 👽 😘
