Chapter Text
“Easy…… You know we can stop any time you want, right? You don’t have to push yourself to do this all at once….” said Moon, looking up at his partner and meeting his garnet eyes. Dark Sun nodded, shifting slightly. He was currently sitting in Moon’s lap, partially straddling the lunar bot’s waist. He had asked Moon to help him get used to being in a proper relationship, but just sitting in their current position was making him somewhat uncomfortable despite it being his idea. Moon gently kissed his cheek, frowning when the sun model flinched away.
“I…. I-I think I’m done for now….” Dark Sun said, looking away. Moon sighed, but nodded as he gently kissed the back of one of his boyfriend’s hands.
“Hey… look at me….” he said, smiling softly when Dark Sun turned to face him again. “It’s ok…. This is still new to both of us…. It’s only been a month after all…. We’ll get there, I promise….” Moon reassured him, nuzzling him gently.
“R-Right…… i-it’s late, we s-should rest….” Dark Sun said, taking note of his internal clock telling him it was about 10:30 PM. Moon nodded, slowly laying down with him and holding him close before entering sleep mode. Dark Sun, however, didn’t go to sleep right away. He waited a few minutes, then carefully untangled himself from Moon and sat up on the edge of the bed.
“Just….. need a minute….” Dark Sun said to himself, grabbing his cane and slowly standing, leaving their bedroom. He quietly made his way out to the balcony that overlooked the backyard, sighing as he set his cane against the railing and leaned on said railing, looking up at the stars.
“….. Why me? I don’t deserve his love…. I don’t deserve love at all…. Not after….. him….” Dark Sun told himself, hugging himself as he closed his eyes. The minute he did he could hear them, all of the things he had been told by the others.
“Ew, get away from me you freak!”
His Roxanne….
“You just mess every thing you touch up, don’t you?!”
His Monty….
“Why did they even make you? We have Moonbeam… we don’t need two Daycare attendants…”
His Chica….
“_____, maybe it would be best if you just left…”
His Freddy….
“Why would anyone love the likes of you?! YOU WILL NEVER BE LOVED, so get used to it!”
Moonbeam-
“Dark Sun?” Dark Sun jumped, his eyes snapping open as he turned around. Ruin stood in the doorway to the house, one hand on their slightly swollen stomach. They carefully approached him, their mismatched eyes full of worry.
“R-Ruin? Did I wake you? I-I apologize if I did-” Dark Sun started saying, but frowned when Ruin gently cut him off.
“You didn’t wake me, the baby did…. They wanted a late night snack….” Ruin chuckled, rubbing their stomach. They very carefully took his hands in their own, as if making any sudden movements would scare him off. “I’m more worried about you…. Are you alright darling? You’re crying….” they said softly, gently using their sleeve to wipe his face. Dark Sun hesitantly reached up, feeling his cheek was wet with coolant tears.
“I-I’m fine…. Just….. just bad memories…..” Dark Sun answered, turning away slightly. “I’m…. g-gonna h-head back to Moon…. D-Don’t want him to worry if I’m n-not there when he wakes up…. D-Do you need anything before I go?” Dark Sun asked, trying to change the subject.
“I’m fine Dark Sun, thank you….. are you sure you’re alright? You know you can talk to us about anything, right?” Ruin asked, concern clear on their face. Dark Sun hated that they were concerned about him; he didn’t deserve it.
“I-I know….. G-Goodnight Ruin…..” Said Sun said quickly, grabbing his cane and slowly making his way back inside while wiping away his stray tears. Ruin sighed as they watched him go, rubbing their stomach again.
“Goodnight Dark Sun….. I hope you’ll open up to us soon, especially to Moon….. We all care about you so much…...”
