Fic summary:

But quickly stepping back as heard the now familiar sounds of springs and his boyfriend landed in front of him. And he reached out to steady him even though it was completely unnecessary

“What happened?”

Sun asked the second he got a look at his face.

“Monty happened”

He grumbled as they walked back into the living space of their room. Sun let them over to the couch where he sank into with a large sigh.

Sun had been shutting down their internal communication all day, Moon wondered why that could be. Only to get distracted by Sun himself, and then Monty. Hopefully, he can get the answer by the end of the day.

Or read it below the read more line:

He liked to claim that he knew his solar counterpart very well. Having shared a headspace will do that. But he would like to think it was simply because he knew how his boyfriend ticked. And there was definitely something going on. But he couldn’t pinpoint what.

Even though they didn’t share the same body anymore. They were still able to communicate with each other internally. He didn’t know who had made that decision as none of the other glamrocks could. But he was immensely grateful. It made running the daycare easier at the very least.

That and beating their friends during game nights. Sun might say it was cheating. But if it bothered him he would shut down communications completely. So far he had only done it once. And it was to prove he could really do it on his own.

And he did, and what a glorious night that was.

But back to the current situation. They were cleaning up after the daycare had closed. Sun was scrubbing down, the tables of any, glue, paint and marker stains. While he went through and over all the play structures. Taking out balls from the ball pit, small toys, wrappers and all sorts of other things the kids had left behind.

He didn’t know how the kids managed to take so much stuff in there. Even more impressive was what he would find on top. Like the plastic ball pit balls made sense. The kids threw them at each other all the time. No wonder some of them launched all the way to the top.

He picked up a single walkie-talkie. He turned it over a couple of times. As he walked to the edge of the play struckter calling down to Sun as he didn't respond the the internal message.

He would it found it more worrying if Sun had been doing anything else than scrubbing the table while humming the daycare’s theme. It had been like that all day. For some reason, his internal messages seemed to not get to Sun somewhere after playtime.

Sun turned it back on every time he let him know. And he seemed apologetic. Maybe he was turning it off without realising it. He wasn’t overly worried. If it kept happening he would make note of it. And maybe he should encourage Sun to go to parts and service.

But Sun could simply been making a surprise and subconsciously not want him to see. Accidentally Turned off the communication entirely. That seemed to be what it was last time. But Sun didn’t carry the same nerves around as the last time he planned a surprise. That’s why he was finding it a bit strange.

Sun finally looked up when he heard him.

“Something wrong Moony? Is there something broken up there?”

His boyfriend asked worryingly and frowning slightly. He loved the new faceplate on both of them. It certainly made Sunny as expressive as he had always sounded in their head.

“No, but do you know if one of the kids lost a walkie-talkie?”

Sun's eyes brightened with relief.

“Yes, Danny did. He only found one, did you find the other one?”

“Yeah, it was up here”

“What?! How did it get there? Oh no, you don’t think they climbed the structure do you!”

He jumped down, landing on the soft mats below and walked over to his partner. Softly grabbing his shoulders before he could worry himself into a spiral.

“We would have noticed that Sunbeam. And you most certainly would have put them in time-out. I think another kid might have taken it. And then shoved it through one of the net holes at the top”

Sun's knuckles knocked together anxiously a few times. Before taking a deep breath

“You’re right…You...are right indeed. Silly me.”

He moved one up to cup the corner of Sun's face. The rays retracted as he did.

“Hey, you are just worried about our little stars, Nothing wrong with that. I’ll just drop this off at Lost and Found when I do my security round. It will be right back with him in no time.”

Sun nodded leaning into his hand for a second, then stepping away.

“Good thinking, But I gotta clean up still. I think someone snuck in a permanent marker again”

He petted his partner's shoulder in sympathy and went to the security desk. Leaving the small toy at the edge so he wouldn’t forget it later tonight. Before hopping up on the desk to sit crosslegged on it. Staring at his boyfriend who continued to clean.

After a few minutes of just staring at his lover. Sun looked up, rays spinning for a moment as he caught his gaze and then huffed annoyed.

“If you are done, you can just help you know”

He dragged his eyes down his partner's body, giving away exactly what he had been staring at before.

“And miss the show. Why would I?”

He let his voicebox drop to its lowest setting. Just to see the beautiful pink blush graze Sunny’s face plate. It was very fun to fluster his partner.

Sun turned the rag in his hands over a couple of times. As he looked away. He saw it slowly morph into a mischievous little smirk.

"If you really want a show…"

Sun rose to his full height, slowly making his way towards him. And he let out a deep breath so that his fans wouldn't start up.

Sun's fingers were trailing along all the plastic tables as he walked closer.

"I could give you one if you want. "

There was likely a small blush on his face. He could reach inside himself and find the manual overrides. But what fun was in that? Sun was allowed to know if he did a good job riling him up.

"When have you known me to say no to that?"

Sun chuckled at his statement and came closer. Planting his hands next to his hips. Caging him in. He leaned back a little bit to keep his whole faceplate in his view. Surprised, but not unwelcomed.

"Well. If I was finished. I could start now…" Sun bends forward. Leaving a lingering kiss on his burning cheek.

"But since you don't want to help"

He growled, warping his arms around his partner's middle. Preventing him from moving back as he intended

"That's a dirty trick Sunbeam, you mischievous little shit"

Sun tutted.

"Language "

And then leaned forward. Closing the gap between their faceplates. Their silicone mouths slid together perfectly. Feeling the warmth of Sun's body beneath his own hands was one of his favourite sensations. Sun’s hands went from beside him to holding his hips, pressing in further and making him lean backwards.

He let out a soft groan extending his claws and teasing across the seam of the two coloured halfs of Sun’s bare waist before slipping beneath his shirt. Sun’s mouth left his own bending down future to mouth at his neck beam instead.

He let out a soft laugh, trying to not get too distracted. Sun had an ace up his sleeve somewhere. He just knows it. It wasn’t like him to drop the cleaning in its entirety for some hot making out. He’d tried that before and failed miserably.

it ended with Sun not kissing him for the rest of the day which sucked. Even if the next day more than made up for it. He was convinced Sun just loved riling him up sometimes. He couldn’t blame him. He did the same thing.

He was yanked from his thoughts when the hands around his hips shifted up to his waist. Sun's fingers felt hot against his bare endo. He wanted to look down and see. He loved seeing their colours contrast against each other. But Sun being at his neck prevented him from doing that.

He let his claws scratch lightly at his lover's back. Grinning he felt his lover shiver but Sun didn’t pull away. Then the hold on his hips changed, till it was teasing, and light. Fluttering quickly, he wasn’t able to scramble away before the Laugh escaped his voice box.

His boyfriend grinned against his neck as he continued to mercilessly tickle him. He tried to squirm away but his legs had locked up.

“I’ll stop if you’ll help me Moony~”

He shook his head, his laughter not dying down. He managed to open an eye between his shaky breaths to see his partner's cat-like grin. Sun was enjoying himself quite a lot with this.

He threw his head back with another round of laughter.

He saw their tether called for it, and it quickly came down, Trying to make a getaway. He didn’t account for Sun to grab the hook as it came down. Stopping it from attaching. While the hand that had been poking and his side went up towards the newly summoned attachment ring on his back.

The finger traced around the ring. It was way more sensitive than he had realised. The old ones had been sturdy. Annoying if someone pulled on it, it’s why he was glad that these new ones now stayed hidden when not using them. But he hadn’t noticed the increased sensitivity.

But Sun clearly had and was using it to his advantage. As he let out wheezes of laughter.

“Okay…okay. I surrender. Fuck..stop!”

The hand immediately dropped and he heard the cable fly back to the ceiling. Sun pulled away. But he hopped off after him, keeping close as he brought him down into another kiss. It was very awkward because he was still wheezing. But as he let go Sun looked happily dazed. And still too smug for his own good.

“Fuck you”

Sun rolled his eyes at his words, hand raising to his face, then tugging his cap over his eyes

“Get to cleaning Moony~”

His partner said in a sing-songy voice as he rightened his hat, Then noticed Sun leaning in close enough to whisper.

“But if you keep up the language you won’t get a show at all”

Sun moved away, and he wasn’t giving his partner the satisfaction of seeing his blushing face. Grabbing the rag Sun had left with some sanitiser and went to the table he had been scrubbing before.

There was still a little bit of a green washed-out stain on the table. The kind that looked like you went over it with cleaning product a dozen times. And just….stays. But he started scrubbing at it anyway. It did fade a bit more. Enough that he was happy with it. So when he stood back up to see if Sun was finished.

Only to see him sitting on the desk like he hand. Smirk high on his face, and giving a little wave. Eyelights changed to the white of their old faceplate so he couldn’t tell where he was looking

“You little…”

He stalked back over to his boyfriend, who didn’t even flinch as he slammed his hands on the desk, in an exact mirror of their previous position. No, he seemed pretty content with the lazy spin of his rays.

“ what is it Moony~? You can take a break but I can’t?”

Sun straightened his spine, making him still have to look up. Instead of caging sun in like he wanted to, and as his glare increased sun’s smile only grew. Was this what he had been planning? Had his counterpart tried to think of different ways to rile him up?

He leaned closer as he squinted his eyes. Barely an inch between their faceplates. But Sun kept his faceplate static, not giving anything away except for amusement.

“I should watch you clean more often Moonbeam, Maybe then I understand why you can’t take your gaze off me.”

It looked like Sun was gonna say more, but he covered his faceplate with his own and tugged at the other’s hips. Sun let out a squeak instead. And he slipped a tongue past his partner's surprised open mouth. Hopefully distracting him enough so that he would just forget he could speak with just his voicebox.

Hands quickly warped around his waist, making the large hands almost completely circle the thin frame. And it made his fans make an embarrassing loud sound. Sun let out an interested hum in response

But then with a loud bang, the doors of the daycare flew open.

“Hey! Moonman you ready for patrol my dude!”

The gator stared at both of them, still by the desks warped up in each other. He was pretty sure some fluids that came from Sun’s tongue were dripping over his faceplate.

“Uh…did I interrupt something, what is with the death glares”

Monty asked sheepishly.

“Yes”

Both of them growled. And he quickly spun his head back to face Sun who was still glaring at the gator. Sun was the first to step back if their PDA went on slightly too long. Never shying away from giving and receiving kisses. But it was clear that some parts of their relationship he wanted to keep private.

He didn’t mind, but it made Sun agreeing with him all the more perplexing. Add that to the list of odd things happening today.

Monty huffed angrily before pointing at him

“You said it was fine I would come along, so don’t back out now. I thought you told the kids it aint cool to break promises”

He sighed deeply, finally wiping his mouth with his wrist. He had indeed promised. The gator had wanted to see what his job was like. Arguing that it’s the one job he never got to see. Also, Monty could handle himself if a threat showed up. He hadn’t been too fond of the idea at first.

But the green giant had shown genuine interest. And he eventually relented and promised that he could come along during one of his patrols. Can’t believe he forgot, but Sun could be very distracting. So with a sigh, he said

“I did promise…”

He trailed off as he caught Sun’s expression falling. Still has his lights set to white. He wondered if he wasn’t turning them back to blue on purpose.

He placed a quick kiss on his partner's cheek and whispered a soft apology before stepping back.

“Chin up Sunshine, I’ll be back before you know it”

There was a soft chuckle and even without the lights turned on he could tell his boyfriend rolled his eyes at him.

“Yeah, yeah. Love you Moonbeam, see ya soon. I’ll finish cleaning”

He swiped the almost forgotten walkie-talkie off the desk and passed the gator out the still-open doors

“Let’s go, “

Monty’s tail thumped happily and his heavy footsteps trailed behind him.

“Bye Sunman! Thank you for letting me borrow your boyfriend. See you at games night Friday”

He could hear the chimes from the bells from Sun’s wrist as they were waved out. With an excited shout of.

“Have fun you two!”

“We will, this is gonna be awesome!”

Monty shouted back, and he shook his head with a fond smile.

Once they were out of the daycare area, his eyes flickered to a darker red as he started his security protocol.

“You know…I thought you two would have more unique nicknames for each other”

He stilled and turned his neck 180 degrees to look at the gator, who stumbled back for a second.

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

He asked slowly, and the giant crocodile made a swallowing sound

“Just…Sunshine? Moonbeam? Seem pretty standard nicknames. I think most of us even have called you two a variant of those. Dunno you two seem like the type to have a more unique nickname for each other with how you two are always hanging over each other”

He was taken aback by the honest answer. He hadn’t really thought about it much. But now that Monty had brought it up. Well..he was right. He had heard Chica use Sunbeam at least once or twice. And everyone had called Sun, Sunshine at least once.

The girls used Moonpie for him to tease him. And of course Moonman with the gator. Even Moony and Sunny weren’t unique as the kids used those often.

He wrecked his brain but couldn’t find a single one that one of the others hadn’t also called them. Monty must have noticed the shift in his expression

“Shit sorry man, I didn’t mean…Like it’s fine if you two like those nicknames…You don’t have to...And I am sure Sun doesn’t “

It was clear the gator was struggling to find the words, he held up his hand and Monty fell silent

“It's…okay, I know you didn’t mean anything by it….just something to think about I suppose…thank you”

Monty awkwardly scratched the back of his head

“Yeah…no problem Moonman…So where do we go first?”

It was clear Monty wanted to try and steer away from what he had just done. And so he went with it. He pushed the thoughts aside for later. This night was just getting started.

A few hours later. He just stomped through the hallway to their rooms. He had to find Sun and explain all this utter ridiculousness.

He wasn’t in their living space, and he checked their bedroom surprised he wasn’t there either.

“Moon?! That you?!”

The sound came from the daycare still, and he furrowed his brows. What was Sun still doing out on the floor? And he stepped out onto the balcony.

But quickly stepping back as heard the now familiar sounds of springs and his boyfriend landed in front of him. And he reached out to steady him even though it was completely unnecessary

“What happened?”

Sun asked the second he got a look at his face

“Monty happened”

He grumbled as they walked back into the living space of their room. Sun let them over to the couch where he sank into with a large sigh.

“Did he not behave himself during parol? “

Sun asked as he settled beside him. One hand came up to gently rub at his shoulder and arm. Making him relax more.

“Uugh No. It wasn't that. He just managed to send my protocols into a frenzy”

Sun hummed placing a kiss to the side of his head. Protocol going into overdrive was never fun. Everyone knew that, it could leave you exhausted on many levels.

“Didn't you two go over the protocols? He was always listening so intently. I am kinda surprised he would make a mistake like that.”

He sighed deeply tipping his head to the side and dropping it to Sun’s shoulder. Who shifted to wrap his arm around his shoulders, and he fell further into his boyfriend's warm hold.

“It wasn't my security protocols…..it was the naptime protocols he activated”

Suns fans stopped for a second. And beneath him, his lover's chest started moving with suppressed giggles.

“What did he do?”

Sun asked voice filled with curiosity and mirth. He felt some of his servos heating up again as he thought back on it.

“Apparently he decided to join me while being on 17% power. But didn't tell me until he dropped to 12% when I noticed him becoming slower and sluggish “

Sun's free hand came up to his mouth to hide his growing grin.

“Oh…oh no that IS bad. But I feel like it's not the end. Is it Moonbeam”

He sighed dramatically tipping his head back to look up at his boyfriend.

“Of course not. First I just send him to his green room. With firm instructions to stay put”

The shaky laughter beneath him became harse and he felt his foul mood slipping away slowly.

“Let me guess he didn't stay put”

He rolled out of Sun's arm. And started to move his arms around to emphasise the craziness of the next part

“Of course not. First, he decided to follow me. Then tried to hide from me when I noticed and I had to give chase until he nearly fell into one of the ponds at Gator Golf. That I had to drag the struggle idiot all the way back to rockstar row. Where my protocols drove up into an even higher frenzy cause he dropped to 3%”

Sun was laughing unabashedly. Wiping non-existent tears from his eyes

“Oh. Oh please tell me. You had to swaddle him like a burrito to stay put”

He felt a proud grin grow on his face. Struggling with the big gator hadn't been fun at the moment. But the result surely was, and he sent a picture he made through their internal systems to Sun. Who doubled over in laughter once he got it.

It was a good picture. You could still clearly see Monty struggling to get out of the tight blankets. Only able to see his head and one claw in the sea of blankets. And a cord ran back to his wall so he could charge.

“Had to stick Freddy and Bonnie on him to make sure he wouldn't leave again.”

Sun's laughter was finally dying down.

“The group chat is gonna be full of pictures tomorrow morning I bet”

He chuckled as well.

“Most likely”

Sun got up and stretched himself. He followed his partner's movement as he walked through their space

“Well…serves him right for interrupting us“

He felt his cheeks heat slightly. But Sun continued without missing a beat.

“But did something else happen? You seem a bit more out of sorts than just the protocols and Monty acting up”

He chuckled weakly

“Nothing slips past you. Does it Sunshine”

Sun's smile got wider at the praise.

“Nope. So you wanna tell me what's wrong”

He shrugged.

“Nothing wrong Monty just mentioned something as the shift started, and I can't stop thinking about it.”

Sun hummed,

“Still talking around it I see”

He rolled his eyes and crossed his arms.

“You are one to talk, our internal communication is closed off again”

He informed his partner and Sun who had kept moving around unable to keep still. Seemed to lock up for a brief second. Before turning his body back around to face him with a little too-wide smile

“You got me there Moony”

Both of them stared each other down. For a few seconds. Before Sun raised his hands as if surrendering.

“Well…fair is fair I suppose”

he said with a smile but he noticed a slight Nervous twitch in his hands.

“Remember little Claire? I noticed her sitting alone during playtime today. So I wondered if she was okay. Luckily she had just gotten absorbed into this flower book she had gotten from her grandmother.”

He smiled, knowing the small girl well

“Of course I do, she always wants to look at the pictures of flowers we have in the story books if there are any”

Suns smile grew

“She does! And she wanted to tell me about the latest flower she read before playing. And I realised it sounded very familiar”

Sun's eyes narrowed and suddenly it felt like he was pinned in place.

“H-how so?”

He asked nervously, eyes stuck looking at his partner. Who only smiled wider.

The bells on his boyfriend's wrist made a soft jingle. But it felt incredibly loud.

“Well…This flower is quite sturdy. Seeing it would certainly spark a smile to anyone. “

Sun was stepping closer with every word spoken. The words getting buttery smooth. A tremble went through him, Sun rarely got so intense and he desperately tried to figure out what flower he was being compared to, to warrant such an action.

Moonflower was out, it was quite too delicate. Probably not a rose either.

Another step closer, still keeping up with that warm smile.

“Its seeds can be used for many things. Just like you are more than just a daycare bot. And it's known for following the sun around. Always trying to face it.”

His cheeks were incredibly warm at the small call out. He knew that he always kept looking towards his lover, trying not to let him out of his gaze for too long if they were in the same room. It still was so unreal to him, that he just could do that now, just look over and there he was. No longer confined to his head. The other Glamrocks had teased him about it. But he hadn’t thought Sunny had noticed.

Sun was just a step away. His fans were getting louder. Not knowing what to do is compared to something as soft and approachable as a flower.

He was the scary one, the creepy one. The one that caused all the problems in the past, …not the Pretty approachable one like Sunny.

His mind was quickly Deleting flowers from his list of what it could be. Even if he grew slightly scared of the answer.

Which answer deemed Sun good enough for him? He is t sure he could handle the answer.

Sun's hands placed themselves next to his hips. Caging him in for a second time that day. Voice dropping to a hushed whisper.

“It's also known for being so very tall”

His eyes widened. It could only be one thing. But no…no Sun wouldn't compare him to…

He wouldn't.

His blush was bright enough that it almost reflected of Sun's cheeks as he leaned closer. Their foreheads almost touching.

His boyfriend's smile was fond of a little teasing.

“Yeah…I see you have figured it out.”

He wanted to shake his head but he felt locked in place as a gentle kiss was placed in the middle of his faceplate. As Sun's smile winded.

“Yeah…I quite enjoy having my own beautiful sunflower ”

His fans started blasting at the frenzy that left him in. He had been correct but it still left him utterly unprepared for actually hearing the word pass his lover’s mouth. The pumps in his chest were making worrying clicks with how hard they were going.

He scrambled up and pressed his faceplate against his partners. It wasn't gentle or sweet. Just a mad dash forward to try and expel everything he felt.

Because….that was a nickname used for Sun. He was sure he heard it being used by one of the kids. He had never used it. It was one that he just didn't feel like it fit.

But now Sun was calling him that. Comparing him to something that beautiful. So closely resembling himself. Something delicate and sweet. Yet strong and unyielding in it’s own way

It was doing things to his feelings. As his hands scrambled for purpose against Sun's shoulders, who was trying to steady himself.

Clearly caught off guard by his actions.

Sun pulled back looking at him worringly. And he dipped his head low. So he couldn't see his lover's face feeling embarrassed for reacting like that over some simple teasing nickname.

“Moony?”

He trembled lightly. And he heard a worrying coo. Hands rubbing up and down his arms.

“What’s wrong…Moon? Did I?...” Sun trailed off.

He shook his head. Trying to get his voicebox back under control as it felt filled with static Blinking hard when soft silicone-covered fingers brushed against the bottom of his faceplate gently encouraging him to look back up.

And slowly he did. When he saw his boyfriend's worried gaze all he wanted to do was apologise and make it go away.

Sun’s rays moved slowly…left to right. Then the solar animatronics eyes widened. And he leaned closer and softly. So very softly he whispered.

“You like that….don't you…Sunflower? “

He reached up and tugged his hat over his eyes. But didn't pull away and he could hear

Sun's relieved laugh. He was tugged off the couch into Sun's warm embrace, as they sank to the floor.

“You do!? Oh, Moony! That's so cute!! “

He let out a suffering groan still not looking at his boyfriend. Hiding in the darkness of his hat as he was pulled against his lover's chest.

Several kisses were placed against the side of his faceplate.

“No… no Moony don't hide. You are allowed to like it”

He let out another groan. And Sun chuckled sweetly kissing whatever part of his faceplate he could reach.

Long fingers were running gente patterns across his back making him slowly melt into putty in his arms.

Sun's face nudges against his own right where his audio receivers were.

“My Sunflower “

He let out another suffering sigh and buried his burning face more into his lover's chest. Sun chuckled softly but let him hide. One hand continuing the comforting patterns on his back. While the other gently scratched the back of his faceplate.

They sat like that for a few minutes. Slowly his raging fans slowed down. But it still felt like his blushing feature was turned to its highest setting. And he was desperately searching for the manual controls.

“Hey…Moon?”

He glanced up from where he was hiding but Sun was staring straight ahead looking thoughtfully. He let out a hum to let him know he heard him

“ I was kinda afraid of calling you a silly nickname…but just…it fits you so well. The best I hoped for was maybe a surprised laugh. And a thank you.. so the fact you like it so much.”

Sun slowly turned his head down. The smile on his face was fond and genuine.

“Makes me really happy. “

It felt like he just got shot with electricity in the best kind of way.

“You like just seeing me embarrassed for once”

Two hands grabbed his face and forced him to look up. The grip turned gentle like he was holding something precious

“No, not at all Moon. I like how happy it makes you. Your face has been stuck in this happy smile since I first uttered it”

His eyes flickered and he realised Sun was right. It had been. He went to tug at his hat once more but Sun stopped him. Gently holding his wrist. Bringing his hand over to kiss it gently as if to soothe him.

Fuck he was flustered. Cause even that simple action was making his insides stir like crazy

“If you don't want me to call you tha-”

“No!”

He cut him off. Sun's face went from surprise to a gentle smile as his own mouth shut with a click. Embarrassed by his small outburst.

Sun's thumb started tracing patterns along his cheek.

“Then I won't stop. But if you want it to be more private…no questions asked”

He gave a nod. He wasn't sure if he could handle himself if Sun called him that in front of anyone.

He got a gentle kiss and then. Got pulled into a hug. Two arms warping around his torso as Sun tugged his chin over his shoulder and squeezed him gently

“Thank you, Sunshine”

He muttered still feeling embarrassed of getting so worked up over a silly little nickname.

“No problem. Moonbeam”

He gently warped his own arms around his lover. Holding him gently. As all his systems slowly calmed down. Once it felt like static wasn't running through all his wires he asked softly.

“Have you been planning on trying to find a way to call me his nickname the whole day?”

Sun laughed sounding embarrassed himself.

“Yeah….I really didn't notice I kept shutting our communication off. I swear. I just…I didn't wanna blurt it out at random and make you think I was making fun of you or something”

He gently moved his hands up and down the exposed endo of Sun's back.

“I don't think I would have thought that”

He muttered and Sun let out a little whine

“I just didn't wanna risk it. And then after cleaning, I had such a good set up and then Monty had to come in and ruin it”

If they hadn't been sitting on the floor he is sure Sun would have stomped his foot a little in frustration. Now only his rays made a fast annoyed whirl as he huffed.

He thought back on their little interaction. Remember that he cut Sun off with a kiss at the end. Did he plan on calling him the new name then?

“Kinda glad he did…dunno how I would react if he came in after you would have called me that”

Sun's arms squeezed him gently.

“Yeah….this is much better.”

He laughed in response. Placing a soft kiss against Sun’s shoulder.

“Were you really worried I would react badly”

Sun shifted beneath him, voice dropping to a whisper.

“You don't like it when people underestimate you and treat you as if you're delicate. And I thought that comparing you to a flower…even A strong one..might insult you somehow”

He gently squeezed his boyfriend. Turning his head to kiss one of his rays gently.

“I think if it was anyone else I would hate it. “

He muttered earnestly He let out a large gust of air through his fans. Voice box straining with barely contained static and continued.

“I like it when YOU see me as soft. Especially after everything I did to you with the virus.”

He buried his face further into Sun's shoulder. Who had fallen silent, panic was setting in fearing he said a bit too much. But he kept going.

“I like being your sunflower”

It kinda felt weird to say. But Sun's fans started blasting beneath him and the gentle hold turned crushing. Sun's voicebox let out a sound of overwhelming static. Before a cracking whisper came out

“You are”

The panic fell away with relief. And Sun slowly pulled back to look at him with eyes shining with unshed tears. He gently rubbed at his rays and his boyfriend just laughed helplessly.

Tipping his face plate forward their foreheads brushed gently. As they looked deeply into each other's eyes.

“My Sunflower”

Sun breathed it out. And as his face started to flush once more. He tried to parse through all the layered feelings. But the only way he could return it was to tip his head further up into a soft kiss.

Their eyes held contact for a moment longer before they both closed them. And just enjoyed the soft kiss. Letting time pass by them without a worry. As hands gently pressed them as close as they could get.

After several minutes they pulled apart. And he glanced aside for a second trying to fight to embarrassment trying to claw its way back.

But it was fine. Sun didn't mind his sappier side. He knew that. Still sometimes hard to fight against it.

“So you gonna tell me, what Monty said that had you so out of sorts,”

Sun asked, clearly trying to give him a way out. So his overheating servos could cool down a little. He couldn't help but laugh.

Sun looked surprised and he couldn't blame him. And he could feel his own grin settle on his faceplate

“He mentioned he was surprised that we didn't really have unique nicknames for each other. And while it didn't bother me at first. It just kinda stuck with me. Cause you’re special to me…and I wanted to call you a name that reflects that And for you to do the same in return. But now”

He indicated his hand around and Sun started laughing softly.

“Okay….that's funny timing-wise. “

He chuckled again. Gently kissed his partner’s nose just because he could.

“It is.”

They locked eyes again, and his voice dropped to a whisper.

“Now I just have to find a name for you, that makes you feel even half of the things. This new one does for me. “Sun's cheeks dusted a soft pink.

“I’ll look forward to what you'll come up with “
