The daycare was a mess, toys and glitter thrown around the playgrounds and tables. I stood behind the security desk my head in my hands as I groaned. I hated this place, toddles running about all day making a fuss over everything, it was quite exhausting. I'd been working in the daycare for a little over a month and was already over it. I looked up, gazing around the room, it was a little after 10 and all the little ones were finally gone. I rolled my eyes as I picked up a cloth and cleaning spray, I began to scrub the tables, trying to wash away the paint streaks and glue from the colorful plastic. Suddenly, I heard a giggle from up above me, I turned around and looked up to see sunny falling from the balcony into the ball pit. We have been working together for awhile now and he is certainly quite the character, I like him alot. I smirked and went back to scrubbing. "YOOO-HOOO, Y/N" his voice rang out as he scrambled out of the ballpit. "Guess who's all charged up and ready to play!" He skipped over to me and draped his arms over my shoulders peering over me to the now almost clean table. I rolled my eyes again, this time smiling and spun around to look at him "sadly you just missed the last kiddo about twenty minutes ago" His expression seemed to dull as he slouched his shoulders "oh darn, I'm sorry Y/N, I should have managed my power better". I smiled and patted his shoulder, "it's all good sunny". "But you get so overwhelmed with them! I shouldn't have left you alone like that!" He seemed sincere even if his face didn't show it, it's hard to tell when a smile is the only facial expression he can manage. "Well, if you want to make it up to me, help me clean" I said, watching his face. I watch as he scanned the room relizing just how messy it is, " OH ME, OH MY, THIS PLACE IS A WRECK!" Sunny springs up and starts running around grabbing lose crayons and pencils, throwing away scrap papaer, and wiping down tables and playsets from top to bottom. He hates messes and is programmed to know how to deal with them efficiently. While he jumps around, I decide to hop up on the security desk swinging my legs, watching him work. After about fifteen minutes he hopes down from the top of one of the playstructures, landing right in front of me. "SQUEKY CLEAN!" He chimes as he puts away the cleaning supplies. I give him a chuckle, and pat the table beside me. He hops up and turns his head to me,"I'm really sorry, Y/N" his voice is quiet and gentle. I yawn and give him a smile laying my head on his shoulder. "It's okay, thanks for cleaning up" He sits up straight, seemingly startled as he glances at me, "of course Y/N..." His voice trails off as his hands begin to play with my hair, curling strands around his fingers. He has always enjoyed playing with my hair, I think to myself as I relax into his touch, this feels a little different however. I yawn, my eyes getting heavy. I decide to curl up to sunny, he is so bubbly and sweet. He is a calming presence for me. After a few minutes, I feel him shift as he stand up, picking me up in his arms, he walks me over to the movie corner and sits down with me in his lap, holding me close, the distant sound of a movie beginning to play is the last thing I hear before drifting off to sleep
"Sweet dreams Y/N..."
