THE KIDDOS HAD a busy day of painting, arts and crafts, and all sorts of other fun activities for the day. Sun and I had chased them all over the daycare, and I even caught a couple kids in the play-structures, for hide and seek. It took a long time trying to find some of them - - those tunnels seemed to go on forever.
But now that another day of work is done and behind us, I focus on my newest tasks. Cleaning, and of course, accompanying Sun.
I felt a pair of eyes on me, as I continued to clean off the kids' tables, scooping all the used paper into the trash.
I look over my shoulder and see Sun admiring me from behind. I smirk and stand up. "What? See something you like?" I tease him.
Sun laughs nervously, clasping his hands together in an awkward manner. "Maybe?"
I giggle, placing a hand to my hip. "Only maybe?"
He inches his way closer to me, and wraps an arm around my waist. His body feels hot, but I try to ignore it. "Well," he looks away, "okay, allot more than just maybe." Sun brushes a lock of H/C hair behind my ear. "Y/N, can we . . just maybe spend the rest of the shift together?" His head tilts quizzically down at me.
I furrow a brow. "Like, what do you mean?"
"Not cleaning. You know, just hanging out? Maybe we can just relax a little, and enjoy each other's company!" He beams.
I laugh lightly, nodding my head. "Oh! yeah~ we can do that."
"You've been working so hard lately, I feel like you deserve a little break anyway." Sun's voice laces with worry.
I know he's been worried about me. All I do is work these days, and being on the night shifts so much, it hasn't been helping with my shitty sleep schedule.
"Alright, alright." I smile.
Sun takes my hand, and pulls me over to the side of the room, leaning his back against the wall. I sit beside him on the floor, and rest my head over his lap.
He gazes down at me, hand softly tracing my jaw and face. I smile awkwardly up at him.
I've never had somebody admire me as much as Sun does. No human I've ever been with, had loved me as much as Sun shows me he does.
It feels . . nice, to be appreciated. Sun allows me to let my tough guard down. I don't have to worry about anything when I'm with him.
"Y/N, you're so pretty." Sunrise mumbles softly down at me. I feel myself blushing as he tells me that.
"Stop, you're making me nervous." A fit of giggles leave my lips. My hand pulls up and I scratch the side of my temple, sheepishly.
He takes my hands and pulls them down from my face. "Don't be nervous, sunshine! You should feel lucky to be as pretty as you are~" he grins. I roll my eyes, the smile never leaving my face. "You're boosting me."
"No I'm not!" He beams.
"Whatever you say." I huff playfully.
"I'm sorry, but I just can't help it. I've never gotten to experience this type of feeling before. I like it." He continues to trace my face, fingers soon running their way into my H/L locks of hair.
I laugh a little up at him. It was sort of cute how inexperienced Sun was with his feelings.
He sure knew how to make a girl blush, though.
"Really." I giggle. I sit up, and pull out my phone.
We've taken pictures together over the course of me starting to work here, I've even gotten a few with Moon, but I figured a few more keepsakes would be good. You never know what can happen.
"Come on, let's take a picture." I smile at him. He nods, obliging.
After a little while, we continue to just sit and talk. Sure, maybe I was going against my manager's orders, but I didn't care. I'd finish those tasks, later.
I would get my work done before I had to clock out, so really, it was no big deal.
Spending time with Sun was what I loved most about this job, anyway.
"Sun?" I ask him. He tilts his head down at me. "Yes?"
"Can I ask you something?" The thought in the back of my mind was making me need to know.
Why me? Why not somebody else. Why anybody at all? How did he know he felt infatuated with a human? How was that even possible?
"I'm an open book."
"Why do you like me?" I feel nervous asking him that. I didn't want him to think I was self conscious, or angsty, but . . It was a legitimate question I often wondered to myself.
"Why not?" He pokes the tip of my nose with a cold finger.
"Well, okay, what is it about me that you like so much?" I ask him. My brow perks curiously as I continue to lay my head across his lap.
"What's not to love about you? I like everything! I don't know if I could find something that I don't like." He chuckles nervously.
I find myself smiling. "Really?"
He nods, his body making little sounds of clinking mechanics as he does so. "Yes, Sugar!"
I look away and keep smiling. "Thanks."
"Anytime." He pats my head.
"I promise to run that antivirus on you guys this week. It's been long enough now, I really need to get that done." I bite my nail anxiously.
I've been putting it off for a while because of how bad Moon has been to me.
Sun even scares me to be around, sometimes . . I just don't want him to flip on me, heaven forbid the lights go out, on some sort of odd occasion.
"It'll be okay. I understand you're nervous about it." He tells me. I nod, looking down to his chest plate. His body was really warm.
I'm surprised he hasn't had any malfunctions yet.
"Yeah . . I just don't want Moon to bug out." I sigh softly.
"I'll do my best to keep him sane." He tells me. I try and smile up at him. "Thank you."
"SYSTEM OVER HEATING"
I roll my eyes, sitting up. There is was.
"Oh, Sun~ what are we gonna do with you?" I smirk. "How are we supposed to spend time together, if you keep over heating?"
He grabs his head, rays retracting a little as he lets out a nervous yelp. "Don't say anything cute, I'll break down-" His voice shakes.
I start laughing, sitting on my knees beside him. "Okay, I just won't talk then."
"SYSTEM HEATING WARNING"
I can't help but laugh a little more. It was so funny how nervous he got.
Sun stands up and begins pacing in small circles. I watch him curiously. "What are you . . doing?"
"Trying to cool my system down!" He speaks nervously. "I-I don't want to burn you. Or shut down."
"I don't want you to go up in flames, either." I comment. His face plate turned a slight shade darker. "I won't."
"Sure looks like you will." I raise a brow at him.
"Y/N, everything will be fine!" He lets out a metallic sigh, gripping his head again. I stand and reach for his hand. He stares at it before complying. His hand starts to burn my skin, but I just try and ignore it.
We will our way over to the security desk, taking one of the chairs, I bring it over to him.
"Sit." I tell him. He does so, looking at me with confusion. "What are you doing?" He asks.
"Trying to calm you down." I smirk a little, standing in front of him. "Now try to think of something cold. Like, ice or water."
He frowns up at me. "Y/N, I don't think we can do that sort of thing."
I groan. "Try."
He rolls his eyes and does so. "Fine,"
"Now think of something that isn't me." I tell him.
"Well that's a little hard,"
"Try to do it anyway." I place my hand on top of his.
He looks down at it and frowns again. "How am I supposed to do that, when you're touching me?!"
"It's the only way you're going to learn how to control your heating system. Unless, you want to overheat and shut down . ." I tease.
He huffs, shaking his head. "No, I don't."
"Then keep trying." I hush him.
He stares ahead at the wall and thinks of whatever I tell him to think about.
After a few attempts and tries, his body had finally started to cool itself, his fans finally kicking on to ease the process.
"Better?" I ask.
He looks back up at me and nods. "How did you know how to do that?"
I shrug. "I helped Liz try to calm Monty down one day. He has temper tantrums allot, and needs to find a distraction." A laugh leaves me.
Suns head tilts, eyeing me curiously. "You were in Monty's room?" He asks.
I smirk. "Why, you jealous~?"
He frowns, crossing his arms. "Maybe a little."
More fits of giggles leave my chest, and I lean against the desk beside him. Sun gives me a look of confusion, before leaning back a bit in the chair. "Don't worry, Sun," I lean forward, and wrap my arms around his neck. He glances at me curiously with wide eyes, his body warming up again.
"There's nobody that can replace you."
