Phantom of the Daycare
Anyone wanna read me putting Moon through a sweet moment broken by angst? What am I saying. Of course you do! (This is sadly non-canon to 404: Personal Space Not Found because Moon can’t sing copyrighted songs and “Music of the Night” is not public domain yet.)
~~~~~~~~~
“Moon? You still here?” you call into the Daycare as the wooden doors close behind you. Silent darkness is the only response. Furrowing your eyebrows, you plop your laptop bag on the security desk and walk further in, squinting at the now muted mats. “We’re still up for movie night, yeah? Or should I turn on the light and let Sun have another turn?”
A growl. From somewhere above you. It sends a chill down your spine and a laugh out your lips. Shrugging your arms, you address the grumpy nothingness around you.
“Is that a yes? Use your words, buddy. The night is louder than you.”
Teasing the previously violent animatronic? Not bright, but so worth it, if your cheeky smirk is anything to go by.
Before another snide comment can escape your mouth, though, a distant melody echoes through the still darkness. Soft, somber, and familiar. You suck in a stuttering inhale as the Daycare is enveloped by the sweet crooning of Moon’s music box.
Moon intends to use his words in his favorite way.
“Nighttime sharpens, heightens each sensation
Darkness stirs and wakes imagination
Silently the senses abandon their defenses.”
His voice washes over you, but Moon himself makes no appearance. There is just the music and the emotions he wields. A spell of the purest kind. You sigh and close your eyes, happily falling under his sway.
“Slowly, gently night unfurls its splendor
Grasp it; sense it, tremulous and tender
Turn your face away from the garish light of day
Turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light
And listen to the music of the night.”
There’s rhythmic clicking above you. A near silent dance. You join in, following your invisible shadow through the pitch-black Daycare. Each step is a measure of trust; no obstacles will block your way with Moon guiding.
Is it any wonder why this is one of his favorite songs? The lyrics were practically written with him in mind.
“Open up your mind, let your fantasies unwind
In this darkness which you know you cannot fight
The darkness of the music of the night.”
Air whooshes behind you. Your breath hitches in your throat as you open your eyes and turn around, broken from the trance. Warm red light dances on your skin, masking the flush across your cheeks. Before you can even speak, gentle hands take yours into a twirl. The music box inside Moon never stops, even as you let a few giggles escape.
You think this may be one of the few times Moon’s grin looks genuine. He guides you around a jungle gym, his eyes the only light. They are all you can look at.
“Let your mind start a journey through a strange new world
Leave all thoughts of the life you knew before
Let your soul take you where you long to be.”
A pause. You find yourself at the edge of the ball pit, Moon loosening his hold hesitantly. Slowly, his hands drag along your arms, eliciting goosebumps, until only the fingertips of one of you two’s hands are still touching. Your fingers barely make it to the first joint of his.
“Only then… can you…”
He doesn’t finish. There’s no sudden cut in music or croak of his voice. The sound just… slowly dies out. As you wait in confusion, mouth open in a silent question, Moon pulls the rest of his hand away. You stare for several moments before he slinks back towards the front of the Daycare.
You don’t think you have ever felt his fingers tremble so hard.

For the WIP game: dance
Oh, that's a good choice:
Mason thinks he should get some kind of medal for not dragging Connor back to their room right then and there.
“Sure,” he says, his voice low; he drops his stick and shakes off his gloves, waiting for Connor to do the same. “Come on, Bedsy, you gotta take your gear off if you want to dance.”

Thanks for asking!!! (wip meme)
