Sun nodded shamefully, I could feel his anger linger as he got up and left.
I eventually got changed and dried my hair.
I was ready for another Tuesday at work.
I left my room and saw Sun by one of the jungle gyms near the front. He had a spray bottle and wipe, making sure surfaces were ready and disinfected before the daycare opened.
I decided to help by grabbing my own spray bottle, wiping surfaces nearby.
I look back over to sun who was cleaning the same spot for a while.
He seemed quite distressed and I kept hearing him mumbling to himself quietly.
"Hey Sundrop? You... okay over there?"
He stopped wiping one of the bars and looked at me, anger was plastered on his face.
"We are arguing right now."
He stated, hinting at Moondrop.
After a moment he rolled his eyes and shook his head, continuing to scrub aggressively like I wasn't there.
I knew Him.
They were obviously going to fight after what Moon had done in the bathroom.
They are brothers.
Two boys fighting over a girl and it made me smile.
I inched closer to him, making him stop and look up at me once more.
"Sun, please just ignore him. I'll talk to him after work."
"No way."
"Excuse me?"
"I'm not letting him near you after the rude remarks he has decided to make."
My heart skipped a beat,
"What did he say?"
I asked with a straight face, though I was dying to know.
He raised his eyebrow at me suspiciously, but then never said anything and continued to clean.
I reached my hand out slightly to his shoulder,
"Sun, you can tell me-"
"Why do you want to know so bad!?"
He snapped.
I recoiled.
"-Do you like him that much?? He won't shut up about you! He said YOU said that you loved him more!"
"Sun, I-"
"You love him more then me, don't you!? Do you love me at all?! Just tell me the truth Keira, please!"
Sun was rambling.
He barely left me time to speak with his panicked questions.
"BOTH OF YOU JUST SHUT UP!"
I screamed, hoping that Moondrop would also hear.
Sun looked so sad and confused.
"Sundrop!"
I grabbed his face,
"Moon is wrong. Very wrong!
I love YOU deeply, Sun."
Sun's eyes widened and a weak smile appeared on his face.
He chuckled,
"Oh wow, now Moon is quiet."
"-BUT!"
I snapped, making his smile disappear,
"Both you and Moon are special to me. I care about him too, Sundrop.
You are both in the same body after all."
Sun looked to the ground immediately and sighed.
"He doesn't deserve you."
He breathed out under his breath,
"Not with the comments he makes..."
I smiled and lifted his head to mine,
"He still needs to work on himself. I won't be nice to him until he does, understand?"
Sun nodded and wrapped his arms around my whole body. He pulled me close.
"Does Moondrop understand?"
I asked once more.
Sun's body twitched for a moment.
His eyes turned red and his face stayed puzzled.
Moon was clearly annoyed that I embarrassed him infront of Sun but I had to.
Once Sun's white eyes returned I spoke,
"Good. Moon understands too.
Now...the daycare should be opening any minute!"
——————
Today's shift went by fast. Sun and I had a great time.
Since last night, I felt compelled to stay close to him. I wanted him to touch me again so badly.
The kids adored us and loved the positive vibes.
There was a moment were he actually gave my butt a squeeze.
He had chose a time where no one was paying attention, thank goodness.
"Sorry, I couldn't help myself."
"Try harder then!" I snapped as I grabbed my paper, moving beside a different group of kids.
He laughed and brushed it off.
My attention was caught by Vanessa who probably came by to check that I was working.
I stood up and walked over to her quickly.
"Vanessa! I'm glad your here! I was hoping we could talk about something."
She looked confused, I guess I never really talked to her much in the first place.
"Uh, sure what is it. I'm on a time schedule here though."
I gave her an awkward smile as I brought up a difficult subject,
"Sooo... I've been spending more time with Moondrop lately."
Her eyes widened and she let out a huge
"HA!"
"I know what your thinking, and NO, we have not been doing anything like that.-"
I obviously lied to avoid embarrassment.
Her smirk got bigger and didn't seem like she believed me.
"-I've actually been having conversation. He has really changed, you know."
I continued.
She gave me a sweet smile,
"Keira. I think I know what you are doing."
"You do..?"
"You want to bring Nap time back, don't you?
It's the only reason you would ever bring Moondrop up in conversation."
The way she said it gave me some hope,
"Yeah actually, I think that if I am here to watch him, he will behave properly!
He really misses the kids!
He spends all his time locked away while Sun gets all the love, that must be hell for him, don't you think!?"
I got a little worked up, but I was literally fighting for a life, Moondrop's life.
"Keira, I think we should."
"What!? Really?!!"
She nodded,
"Your so thoughtful to do this for Moon. I just gotta ask Sundrop first to see if he is okay with it and then we can try 1 hour a day!"
My heart sunk, Sun would never agree to that.
"Why? That's not his decision."
She laughed,
"This is his daycare, all decisions are his."
"Wait, please! Can we just not ask him?"
I begged.
"Not ask me what, Keira?"
I cringed as I realized he was walking up behind us.
I turned around and he frowned.
"I...-"
"-she didn't want to ask you about the new paint colour I was getting! She wanted it to be a surprise!"
Vanessa interrupted while saving me.
I'm guessing she understood how he probably wouldn't be happy about me considering it.
Sun's eyes lit up,
"No way! Tell me- wait don't tell me! Keira is right, I want a surprise!"
He unexpectedly wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me against his body.
"Ack- Sundrop!"
I awkwardly smiled at Vanessa while I tried to push myself from his grip.
"Sundrop! What are you doing?" I acted innocently.
"You can drop the act, Vanessa knows just about everything!" He said cheerfully as he yanked me closer and smiled at her.
"What!?"
I slowly looked back at Vanessa and she revealed a huge grin,
"There are cameras just about everywhere! You seriously thought I didn't know? Fun fact, I even know your a robot!"
She slapped her knee and laughed harder,
"-Monty and Moon really got you in the golf course didn't they?! I had to bleach my eyes and delete a ton of camera footage!"
I dug my face into Sundrop's chest and didn't look at her again, I couldn't even comprehend the amount of embarrassment I was feeling.
"Anyway, thanks for the new paint Vanessa, let me know when it arrives!"
Sun said happily.
I heard her keys chime as she ran off shortly after.
"I think... I think I may stay in my room for the rest of my shift. Do you mind?"
"Keira, I know you are embarrassed. I could never forget those red cheeks because of last night."
He teased as he gave them a light pinch.
He quickly lifted my chin.
"I honestly thought you had known that she knew! I thought she told you when you were talking to her after the whole 'golf course' incident. She seemed mad at you."
Tears welled up in my eyes,
"It seemed like she didn't actually know... I feel sick!"
He wiped away a tear that fell down my cheek,
"I'll watch the kids, please, take as much time as you need."
I left his touch and ran into my room. I didn't cry I kinda just freaked out about it and the fact that I told her so many lies.
She must have found it so funny.
I ended up passing out.
——————
Once I woke up, I went to go find Sundrop.
Vanessa already approved of the idea, but now it was important that I broke the news to Sun.
I wondered how to go about it.
"Hey!"
Sundrop ran over as he saw me emerge,
"Did you have a good nap? I'm sorry about before..."
I grabbed his hand, ignoring his words and dragged him over to the jungle gym.
He climbed on top curiously and I followed.
"Sundrop, we need to talk about something and I know your not gonna be happy."
His smile immediately dropped, but he wasn't surprised.
"Well... what is it."
I kept his hand in mine, squeezing it.
"Okay..." I exhaled a large amount of air and looked back at him. I was scared to say it.
"Spit it out."
...
"Sun... I want to bring back Nap Time!"
He yanked his arm from me,
"What!? No! You can't do that! No, No, No!"
I rolled my eyes, un phased by his sudden anger.
He crossed his arms and huffed,
"Absolutely not."
"Sun, your killing your brother slowly. He needs to be let out more often or he won't get any better."
Sundrop looked conflicted and whined,
"That would just allow him to play his games again!"
"No, I would be there watching him! I'd make
sure he doesn't do anything stupid. Besides, we would only give him 1 hour a day."
He squinted his eyes at me.
"He really, really wants another chance Sun!"
He groaned in defiance.
"Please... I'm not doing this for me, I'm doing this for the children! It would be nice to no longer have to find kids passing out in random places."
He scooted closer to me,
"Promise me that he won't steal you away from me."
"What?"
I wanted to laugh but he was dead serious.
"Promise!?"
"Sun, I'm all yours."
I gave him a big hug and placed several kisses on his chest.
"Woah... I liked that. Do it again."
I laughed and gave him many more kisses. He quivered.
He then squeezed me tightly,
"Mine! Your all mine and I couldn't be happier!"
"Does this mean you will allow Moon an hour a day!?"
"Ehh."
I raised my eyebrow and pushed away.
"Just... let me think a little longer, Keira."
"Fine. But no cuddles until then."
He groaned and went to grab me but I quickly got off the play set.
I walked over to the front and sat down at the security desk.
He stayed on the jungle gym a little longer just staring at me from across the room.
I rolled my eyes and turned my chair around.
In only seconds, there was a gush of wind and clicking mechanics behind me.
"I... I don't know."
He whispered.
My eyes locked onto the light switch and without thinking, I reacted.
"Well, you can have lots of time to think about it while I hang out with Moon."
"WAIT KEIRA THATS NOT FAIR!"
*click*
My eyes widened as I realized I had just pressed the switch.
I didn't look at him until the lights shut off.
He didn't scream but instead let out a loud disappointed whine as the twins began to switch.
Once I turned around, a hand grabbed my arm and pulled me around the desk.
"Keira!"
Moon praised as his voice grumbled.
He threw me into the air and then gave me a big hug.
"Moon haha, calm down! Where is that nightlight so I can see you!"
He carried me to where I presumed was his room.
He also went and found the kids toy
turning it on himself.
His face lit up neon green and he seemed very cheerful.
"I'm so excited! When do I start!? Oh, Keira! I've got so many bed time stories to tell the children!"
My heart ached.
"What's wrong? You look out of it."
I felt emotional,
"Moon... Sun hasn't agreed yet. That's why your here. I turned off the lights because he wouldn't say yes."
Moon didn't seem to care,
"Too bad! I'm coming back and that's that! Let him have his poopy moment and you and I can have some fun!"
"Your not allowed to have any fun. You pissed me off. You watched me in the bath without letting me know."
He stood up to his full height,
"But... your just so beautiful and small, it's not fair that Sun gets to touch you and I don't."
"Well... technically you've already touched me without my permission. Let's add spying to that list."
He bent down, eyes glued onto mine.
"Would you say yes if I asked?"
"Sun would not be happy..."
I didn't know what else to respond with.
Am I a bad person to want the both of them?
"So... that's not a 'you can't touch me' ?"
I watched as his hand hesitantly went to grab my shoulder.
"Moon... please, I don't want keep making either of you jealous. I-I wouldn't mind it, but it's not a good idea."
I added more to be safe,
"I love Sundrop."
He gave me a confused look,
"Your giving me absurd mixed signals here, Keira. What if I told you that we didn't have to be serious? What if I... just want to feel your skin a little bit..."
I couldn't help but blush from his words, he was amazed by my me just as much as Sun is.
Why was I kind of interested in him.
Was it the drama I craved?
The thrill of both of them fighting over me was addicting.
I knew Sun would forgive me if I just let him hold my hand.... we don't have to do anything sexual.
"Moon, you can hold my hand..."
I extended my arm and he copied, grabbing my hand.
At first he just felt all my fingers but slowly his hand massaged my wrist.
In no time, he managed to move higher, he kept an eye on my reactions as he slowly pushed his limits.
He dragged his fingers all over my shoulder and it tickled.
Even though he touched the same places on my arm that Sun touched the night before, it felt so different.
Moon knew what he was up to, he was managing to turn me on so quickly.
He had more experience and before I knew it-
one of his fingers had sneaked its way under my bra strap.
How... how did he even do that!?
"Okay... t-that's enough."
He listened and immediately cut all contact.
