Chapter Text
It all started by accident, I swear.
I had been working at the Pizzaplex for a little over a year now, learning the ins and outs of the facility. The job I ~originally~ applied for was animatronic interaction assistant. I was hired to hang around the animatronics and make sure they functioned correctly when interacting with children, but due to short staffing, I had been thrown into everything from animatronic maintenance to janitorial duties to security.
Through this job, I had gotten to know each of the animatronics extremely well. I loved seeing the main 4 in action, hanging out with the kids and feeding off the energy. The DJ was extremely overwhelming at first, but a really nice guy with impeccable music tastes. However, I absolutely loved spending time with Sundrop, he was like a ball of utter joy and happiness. He tended to treat me extremely well making him my personal favorite (not that’d I’d tell anyone that). All of this was no accident.
No, the accident happened when I walked into the daycare in the middle of nap time.
I was told by my boss to aid Sundrop with afternoon activities until close, so I was walking onto the overhang of the daycare area.
That was when I heard the most beautiful lullaby.
I looked over hang railing and down to the play mats only to see all the toddlers fast asleep in a ring around Moondrop. He was the one animatronics that I had yet to meet in my entire time here. Slowly, I approached the main doors and entered as quietly as to not disturb the calm vibes. I sat down at the security desk, eyes and ears trained on Moondrop. He looked so peaceful and still while sitting in the middle of the ring. This shocked me with how much Sunny would not. Stop. Moving.
That was when I rested my head on my hand, and dreamily (audibly) sighed. Now THAT was the accident.
Moondrops faceplate WHIPPED towards my direction causing my eyes to widen. Then, quietly as possible, he stood from his position and walked towards me. Leaning over the desk, he softly stated
“Hello little miss doll, I believe this is our first time really meeting and you decided to SIGH at my singing? That is very rude… very naughty. How should I punish such ruuuuude behavior, hmmm~“
Eyes still wide, suddenly extremely sweaty, I stammer out “NO— I mean— I’m so sorry. Oh my gosh I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to upset you. Oh god, I was just thinking that your singing was so nice and I didn’t mean to interrupt—“ Great, now I wouldn’t SHUT. UP. And my face felt SO red!
He cocks his faceplate, red eyes bearing down on my face. He looks like he’s slightly taken aback by my blabbering.
“—Actually, I’m so glad to finally meet you! I’ve met Sundrop multiple times, but I have not been able to meet you. Which you know… of course you know. Anyways, you have a lovely singing voice, so soft! So different from Sunny’s—” I continue to ramble because when nervous I tend to word vomit.
Moondrop listens patiently but suddenly reaches an arm out, bells on his wrist jingling, and puts his hand on my mouth. then mutters
“Enough.”
I go completely still.
“I would rather not hear about Sun while I have my very ~rare~ time in the spot light. I get enough of that from the kids. But I understand, everyone loves Sun.”
He all but rolls his eyes, growling and completely skipping over my praises, takes his hand off my face and starts to stalk off. Unthinking, I snatch his arm and say “I’m sorry, please don’t be mad, I was just trying to complement you!”
He goes absolutely rigid and then faster than I could blink, his face was inches from my face.
“Keep this up little lamb, and I’ll think you actually WANT to be punished.”
He says this while ripping his arm away from my grasp only to place his hand on my shoulder, giving a tight squeeze. This causes me to flinch and give a small whimper, heat curling in my lower stomach at the contact.
Moon startles at the noise and quickly let’s go. His voice box glitches slightly, almost like a huff and then proceeds to walks off.
————————————————————————
About half an hour later, they lights are back on and nap time is over. There are only a couple of hours left before pick up time and I now have to actually do my job.
I definitely, totally didn’t spend the last half hour replaying my interaction with the huge animatronic. I tend to make an effort to be friends with all animatronics and treat them with respect, so I can’t help but over think every word I said. What I was not prepared for how the interaction made me feel. His pet names kinda made me feel hot? Why did I feel like everywhere Moondrop touch burned.
Looking up, I notice Sundrop walking towards me. Shoving my interaction with Moon to the back of my mind, I quickly stand and smile at Sun.
“HELLLLLOOO!!! HOW ARE YOU TODAY?? IT FEELS LIKE SO LONG SINCE I’VE SEEN YOU, DAFFODIL!!”
“Hey Sundrop! It is wonderful to see you, are you ready to finish the day with tons of play with the little kiddos? Also, how are you feeling, any problems?” I was ready to start working, but also needed to check in on him.
“I’M FIT AS A FIDDLE, SO EXCITED TO PLAY WITH YOU AND THE LITTLE ONES. ILL GO GET THE GLITTER GLUE!”
We then spent the next few hours playing many games and creating tons of crafts. Before I knew it, the last kid was picked up and now all that was left is to clean up.
“Alright Sunny, are you ready to clean up for the day?”
“OH YES! SHOULD WE MAKE IT A GAME? WHO CAN PICK UP THEIR AREA THE FASTEST?”
“Sounds like a good idea, would definitely make the clean up go faster. Just be warned, I am ~very~ competitive” I say giggling and give him a wink and blow him a kiss. then run off shouting “IVE GOT THE PLAY STRUCTURES!”
What I didn’t see is how Sunny seemed to stall out for a second before reaching into the air to catch my kiss.
After an hour of our game, we had finally picked everything up and cleaned all the messes. Sun seemed really pleased with his hard work, so I sweetly said “you did wonderful cleaning up Sun, I’d say you win our game!”
“WHHAAAAAT! I WON! WOOHOOOOOOO! WELL SINCE I WIN, CAN I GET A PRIZE??”
I place a hand on my hip and bring the other up to my face in a thinking pose and stroke my chin. “Hmmmm, I think that would be a good idea!” I said while beckoning him over. When he is close enough to me, bouncing in his excitement, I gently grab one of his sun rays so that he leans down close to my face. I give him a giant hug and press my cheek against his, rubbing them together. I like how warm he is… I hear a slight whirrrrr start up.
I let go and turn around stretching slightly. Unknowingly, my shirt had come untucked from pants, showing a bit of the tattoo on my lower back. Sundrop zeros in on it, looking closely to see what it is but cannot get a good enough view.
I start walking towards the security desk to grab my stuff and say “Alright, I had a lot of fun today but I need to head out for the night!”
He seems to take a minute to process what you said, hand going up to his cheek before screeching
“WAIT, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DON’T GO! LETS HAVE A SLUMBER PARTY, PRETTY PLEASE!”
“Sorry Sunbeam, but I really do have to go—” I say before pausing. I spin around and face Sundrop. “Hey, I do want to ask if you will apologize to Moondrop for me. I think I hurt his feelings. I just think he has a beautiful singing voice, different from yours. But don’t get me wrong, you have a beautiful singing voice as well! Anyways, if you wouldn’t mind telling him, I’d really appreciate it! Have a wonderful night Sunny!!” I quickly pick up my things and head to the door, calling it quits for the night.

Sundrop watches her walk away, eyes following every movement until she is fully gone.
He thinks to Moon.
“MOON, DID YOU HEAR ALL OF THAT?”
“Yes Sun.”
“I LIKE HER! SOOOOOOO PRETTY AND SHE COMPLIMENTED US!! NOT JUST ME, BUT YOU TOO!!”
“Yes Sun, she is very… interesting. Soft too.”
“MOON! NO INAPPROPRIATE THOUGHTS IN THE DAYCARE!!!”
“Whatever.”
