Grasping both sides of the slide I slowly made my way down. Keeping as quiet as possible, once at the end I quietly stepped into the pit of colorful balls.
Keeping quiet moving through this was going to be a challenge. I made my way to the edge of the pit and lifted myself into the play area.
I quickly crept through the play scape trying to get a better view into the napping area where I saw the figure. I crouched down behind an exterior slide trying to hid. After some time my thighs began to burn from being squatted down so low for such a long time. I breathed through the pain but when nothing happened I gave up figuring I need to get closer if I was going figure out what was going on.
I pulled my self up using the slide for a support. I cautiously walked to the entrance of the napping room. Nervousness settled into my stomach I chewed lightly on my finger nail trying to build courage.
With a deep breath and with all the courage I could muster I took the final step in. The room was very dim but just light enough to make out the children's sleeping mats on the floor. The smell of sweet lavender filled my nose, relaxing my tense muscles as I adventured deeper into the room.
Scanning the room for anything unusual it was still and quiet. The rooms walls were painted with wispy clouds and the ceiling littered with glowing stars. It felt warm and inviting. A bundle of pillows and blankets were shoved into a corner and a small toppled book case opposite of it. Just above it there was what seemed to be a sitting swing. I assumed it was for the attendant to get a better view of the room to watch over the children who slept.
Which in it self wouldn't have been an issue but it still swung back and forth slowly as who whoever was sitting had just left. My heart fluttered a bit in fear. Uneasy I began to slowly back out of the room. But before I could make my leave, I back into something with a hard THUD.
Chills jolted down my spine as I spun around, a yell escaped pass my lips, but it was quick to cover my mouth. I was only faced with a blue vested chest as the tall figure bent over to my ear.
"Naughty girl, you're not supposed to be in here." The voice was deep and husky, almost melodic.
Whoever it was their breath tickled my neck sending goose bumps down my body. My knees feeling a bit weak hardly able to hold my weight. It's light chuckle tickled my neck further. My head was screaming at me to move but my body wanted nothing more to do than to stay.
"Seven thousand two hundred! Ready or not here I come." A loud voice echoing through the entire day care, the sound of impact and rustling in the ball pit followed the excited voice.
Arms wrapped around my waist as the person dove into the piled pillows and blankets with me in tow. I landed hard against their chest almost knocking the breath out of me.
"Shush or he will find us." the deep voice whispered.
My eye brows furrowed but I listened staying a quiet as possible, my pulse ringing loudly in my ears and my face felt warm.
We were in quite the position.
His arm still wrapped around my waist pinned me against his broad chest and my legs straddling his waist. Unnecessary lewd thoughts flooded my brain, I felt a familiar heat begin to pool deep down in my stomach. Oh god, this is not the time to be having those thoughts. Pushing them out of my brain the best I could, I took the opportunity to arch my neck up and see just who I was sitting on top of.
Part of me wished I didn't because I just could not understand why the hell anyone make an animatronic this damn attractive and human.
His dark hair showed from under his night cap, his eyes were a soft red color and seemed to softly illuminated the very intimate area between us. The bridge of his long nose had a natural red tint that crossed over to the tops of his cheeks. His face was so close to mine, so close any movement would cause our noses to bump together.
His lips, God those lips, they curved into a sly knowing smile. Slowly he lifted a single long finger onto his lips. I hadn't notice how shaky my breath had gotten or hot scorching warm it was like my skin was about to melt. I wanted to blame it on the mountain of fabric covering us but my body trembled in his arms gave away the truth to the matter.
As on a que' soft ting of bells rang from the entrance of the nap room. A mischievous laugh rang through the air. My body froze and my eyes widened but before I could even get a breath, I was ripped away from Moon's grasp and spun in the air.
"I found ... You? You, you are not Moon!" I instinctively squeezed my eye close trying to ward off the dizziness.
"Oh, how wonderful! A new friend! Are you here to play? The daycare isn't open but I have paint, glitter glue, googly eyes! Oh, even better you help me find moon!" Who I had assumed was Sun rambled on while swinging me. I felt like a rag doll being helicoptered in the air.
"Sun, stop swinging them they are not a toy." said Moon as he rose from the pile of strewn blankets and pillows. Annoyance laced his voice making it sharp.
Sun abruptly stopped swinging my limp body and gently placed me back down to the floor. I cupped my head trying to slow my fuzzed brain and reached out with other for some stability before I toppled over.
"I am so sorry, new friend I - I just got excited." Sun bounced from one foot to another Concern clear in his golden eyes. Moon bend down to my level, holding my out reached hand. As I was finally able to clear my spinning head.
"Are you ok?" Moon lifted his large slender hand cupping my face, the small bells on is his ringing as he moved. He stroked my cheek gently with his thumb. He was breathtaking and smelled so sweet like candied Lavender. My body unconsciously wanting to step further into him his sweet smell seemed to lure me in.
"Uh, yeah just a bit dizzy, I'm ok." I smiled taking a small step back concerned with my bodies reaction.
Something flashed through Sun's face but I was still busy recovering to full grasp exactly what it was. But Sun seemed to fix his face and all evidence of concern dissipated by excitement.
"Well, I found you Moon so I win!" Sun exclaimed throwing his hands onto his hips and nose into the air.
Moon stepped back away from me, cheeks still tingled from his hands absence. Part of me would have been more then happy to stay right there with his hands on my face.
"No, you didn't find me!" Moon crossed his arms leaning against the frame of the room, "You found her, and I had to come out to stop you from accidentally killing her."
"That's cheating Moon, I would've found you anyway!" huffed Sun. Moon rolled his eyes and waved him off. I couldn't help but chuckle as they continued the back and forth bickering.
They both dress nearly identical. Both work the same style jester outfit. Moon was dressed in blue. His pants were decorated with small yellow stars matching his night cap. Both had matching red ruffle accents and curved slippers with tiny bells on the tip. On the other hand Sun was decorated in mostly yellow his even had cute little suns lining it his vest. His pants were vertically red and yellow stripes, making his already extremely tall figure appear even larger.
Moon smirked at me, I hadn't noticed I was staring and a blush threatened to expose me even further. Sun was still rambling when my watch chirped alive. I completely forgot about the orientation had it really been that long. Hours seemed to pass like minutes in here.
"Shoot, uh I actually show be going now." Sun seemed to deflate in response, Even Moons sly smirk dropped. Their response yanked on my heart.
"Oh, don't be sad, I will be coming back!" I didn't even notice at some point I had crossed the distance and grabbed Sun's hand to reassure him. I felt an need to protect him even though he could break my bones if he wanted something about him seemed fragile.
"Really friend?" Sun bounced in his spot excitedly "Do you promise?"
"I promise, My name is Y/N. I was hired as the new live in attendee you for two. So, we will be seeing each other a lot from now on starting Monday." I couldn't help but to chuckle at Sun's excitement he practically began dancing at this point. It warmed my heart knowing something so small could make him so happy.
I felt Moon staring into the side of my face, I peered to the side only to see a soft expression, not quite smiling but just warmth. Moon gingerly took my hand leading me to the large wooden doors of the daycare.
Pulling me into a hug Sun said his farewell and skipped off. Leaving Moon and me alone. I really only realized how tall they were. They towered over me by a few feet. Moon seemed completely comfortable in the silence Sun felt us in. I on the other hand became more and more uneasy. Not being able to handle it any longer I swallowed the lump in my throat and broke the silence.
"Well, I suppose I'll see you Monday then." I said hardly able to even say the words out. Smooth. I couldn't even bring myself to look at him, I felt so flustered and embarrassed for no reason.
Moon took the break in silence as an opportunity. He crossed the distance between us in a single step the jingle of bells on his slippers tinged again. The smell of sweet of candied lavender filled my nose again as I stared down at the small silver bell of his slippers.
He lent over, his slender hand slowly but confidently bushed the hair off my shoulder exposing my neck. The spot his fingers grazed my open skin burned.
"I suppose .... you will." He breathed, his nose softly grazing the nook of my neck sending visible shivers down my body. I could hear the smile in his voice. "But in the mean time, you may want button that shirt back up if you don't others getting the wrong idea."
My wide eyes shot up to meet his humored filled ones. my fingers flew up to my chest fumbling with my shirt trying to button it back up. Stupid shirt. I turned on my heel and darted away without even a goodbye to Moon. He made me so damn flustered, I almost forget how to function. I zoomed up the stairs collecting my belongings as his deep chuckles followed me.
"Bye Y/N!" exclaimed Sun waving from the platform above the ball pit. Once I reached the top of the stairs and squeezing through the locked gates. I gave him a quick wave and almost ran out of day care.
Moon seemed to provoke responses out of me that I have never experience. I have never met a single person who could do this to me. I've always been able to control my self but it was just something about him, I couldn't put my finger on it and maybe that is what frustrated me the most.
Still a bit flustered I attempted to pull myself together the best I could in the reflection of doors glass. I managed to find the orientation group thanks to Stephen and joined them just as they had begun. Samari shot me a quizzed look when I jogged up, I gave her a small apologizing smile for being late.
The group was huge, I guess they just took all of us newly hires and shoved us into a single tour group. I glanced around not recognizing any faces so far when a small tap on my shoulder startled me. I swung around to find Marcus beaming down at me. I almost had to bite my tongue to stop myself from verbally say ugh.
"Hey so you got hired too Y/N that's awesome. Looks like we will being seeing each other a lot more!" he halved whispered to me as not to interrupt the tour. I politely nodded my head not bothering to respond as not to encourage him to talk. But he still did.
"Yeah, it sucks I didn't get into Daycare with you, but they hired me for the float live -in position instead." I almost pitied him a bit. Poor kid had no idea what work he was in for. "So let me know if you ever need anything since I'll be all over the place anyway."
"Thanks." I whispered back not taking my eyes off the group in front of us.
That seemed to be enough for him. He beamed another smile at me excitedly almost like the way Sun did when I told him I'd be back. But Marcus could never even hold a candle anywhere near the level of cuteness of Sun or raw attractiveness of Moon.
The image of my body pressed against Moon, crawled its way back in I felt heat on the back of my neck. The tingles of his breath on my neck made it the heat pool into my stomach again.
My eyes widen at the thoughts running through my head. I should not think like that about them like this. It was wrong and never going to happen, it was not only impossible but I could guarantee against the rules.
I sighed to myself, If this was how it was going to be on a daily basis, I was surely going to get myself into deep trouble.
