A little Moon comfort drabble, for anyone who just wishes to be held and comforted and appreciated.
Moon doesnβt understand how anyone would decide to hurt you, of all people.
You, their bestest friend in the whole plex. Who didnβt judge or find them weird; accepting them with all your heart could offer.
You, the best assistant they could have ever asked for. Who listened to the rules, who followed directions, and finished their tasks with excellent results.
You, the silliest little playmate for the kids. Who would squeeze themself into the tight play structures, unbefitting for someone so much bigger, just to play hide and seek and see those precious smiles once more.
You, their love. Who had opened their optics and made them realize that yes, they could love, and it was you they wished to.
He really couldnβt understand why life could be so cruel to you and why it had hurt you. But as you kneeled there, sobbing into his chest while he held you oh so gently, he felt his non-existent heart squeeze. Something hurt you, terribly, and it made his gears churn.
Moon wished you would stop crying. It was so unfair to you. Those eyes, puffy and red. Cheeks tinted and stained. Hiccups that broke free without your permission no matter how desperately you tried to keep them to yourself.
He wanted to squirrel you away. Hide you from the world, keep you safe. But that couldnβt happen. No, you had things you needed to do, and Moon nor Sun could be by your side outside the Plex. No matter how much they wanted to be. There was nothing they could do.
Moon shushed you quietly, placing his hands on your cheeks to lift your face up to his. He peppered kisses over your face. Little βmwahsβ with every one. The onslaught makes you giggle and Moon feels warm inside at the sound. Pleased to know heβs doing something right.
Your small hands find their way on top his larger ones, resting there, rubbing along the smooth, cold metal and you let out a sigh. Moon nuzzles you once more before pulling away, looking into your teary eyes.
βMy Starlight, so, so precious. Iβm sorry the world has been so cruel to youβ¦itβs not fair at all to you,β His hands shift to the small of your back, cradling you gently in his hold. βWe are here for you, little star. Do not forget that. We cherish you deeply, more than you may ever know.β
βIn the dark of the night, please remember to follow our guiding light.β
