You're batshit insane for doing this.
You should think more often because what is this choice of yours.
"HEY!" You shout into the darkness of this hallway close to the daycare.
"New weirdo! Where are you?" You call out, your eyes darting around in the dark before grabbing the flashlight.
Prologue had been avoiding you since he managed to switch back from whoever that Moon was. "Sunny?" you try once more, your thumb sliding over the flashlight's button to flick it on.
"Moon?" You sigh as you lift the flashlight to the hall, only to feel a hand land on your shoulder. You jump and let out a surprised noise as you turn on your heel, the hand on your shoulder falling away.
You're face-to-face with a big, sharp grin and a red eye.
"Helloooo Starlight." He rasps to you, his eye flicking all over your face as if he's drinking you in. "You called?" His smile is predatory, and the light of your flashlight dances across his face.
You blush just a tad because what else can you do? "I-I did, yes."
He hums before he stands straight, hands clasped behind his back, faceplate tilted down to watch you. "A blinking little star, stuttery with its light." You furrow your brow, what?
He chuckles. "Sorry, we avoided you. Or… I did not want to avoid you, but our dear Prologue, or Sunny as you call him, didn't want me to be near you." His grin softens just a bit when your eyes meet again, and you glance down at the floor.
"Well… How come he lets you now, then?" You ask curiously, as you fiddle with the handle of your flashlight, the beam hitting the floor, why are you so nervous.
He grins at this, "Hm." -Okay, he doesn't want to answer, that's so cool.
You sigh a little and move your free hand to rub at your chin with your palm. "Listen, Moonie-" He purrs at this, this guy is so fucking weird.
"I… I want to get to know you, for… whatever reason."
Moon nods, listening eagerly. "I know everything Sunny knows." He grins. "But yes, I would love to be alone with you." He steps closer to you, and you slowly back away, flustered and just a tad nervous.
"Don't be nervous, little star." He purred, faceplate tilted to the side as he stopped stepping closer. "Would it help if I too did one of the silly dances you enjoy?"
You look up at him, surprised, eyes a little wide. "What?"
"You made your jester dance for you to gain your affection." He stated.
"No… I… I was just having a fun time with Prologue, and I wanted to see if he really just needed to see a thing once to learn it." You huff, your cheeks flushed.
Moon snorts, "Well, I too am a jester." He says with a clawed hand on his chest. "May I also dance to gain your affection, little lover?"
You feel insane. "What? Dude, you don't have to do anything like that. We can just talk-"
Moon steps closer to you. "What if I, Epilogue, want to dance to gain your affection?"
You reel a little where you stand before lighting up Moon's face with your flashlight. "Do you want to dance? Wait- Epilogue?"
He grins again, teasing. "That is my name. Doooo wear it out, my sweetheart." Your eyes widen, Jesus fucking Christ.
"Okay, you know what, sure. Why the hell not?" You hold the flashlight out to him, and he takes it in his non-clawed hand. "After this weird little thing you have going on, we are going to just talk."
He nods, not promising anything, of course, and puts the flashlight on the edge of the wall so the light spills into the hallway and lights it up just a bit more, so both of you can see each other.
You huff, amused as you pull out your phone and start to look for a song.
After a few minutes of quiet, you find one and sigh as you pick the dance practice video, then hand him the phone, which he takes in his clawed hand carefully.
If your mind wasn't spinning, you could probably tell he looked a little excited to do this for you.
After what seemed like forever, he handed the phone back to you.
"Alright." You say. "Ready to dance for me, mister weird jester?" You asked with a humorous tone.
The red eye looked you over, Moon smiled. "Yes, my majesty. I am ready to gain your affections."
You roll your eyes, good-natured. You step back against the wall so he has the floor. Your thumb reaches to hit play on the song, but you pause as you watch Moon pull out a long piece of fabric from his pocket, and he ties his hands together.
What in the world? "Uh- are you ready?" You ask.
Epilogue sinks to his knees and grins at you. "Yes, dear star."
That makes you shiver. Alright, no time to unpack all that.
You hit play, and the music fills the hall, and your eyes are locked on the bot in front of you.
He starts the dance, and my god, a bot should not be able to do all that.
Your jaw is probably on the floor.
You had to almost claw your eyes away from the view in front of you. The way he moves is so- He looks like he has always danced. His eye never leaves yours. His grin is so cocky.
Minutes pass with this, and you are counting yourself lucky to be able to lean back against the wall, because you would have crumbled by now.
When the song ends, he slides over to you, back on his knees. You're face-to-face with him.
You're breathing hard even though you were not the one dancing. Epilogue smiled, satisfied.
"Did I gain your affections, my majesty?" He purred, hands on each side of your shoulders, flat against the wall. His face is so close.
"I-I- Well- Y-Yes." God, what the hell.
He chuckles, dark and raspy. "Good."
He gets up from the floor, then moves his non-clawed hand to your chin and tilts your head up, your eyes locking. "See you later, starlight."
Your brows furrow. "Wuh-" The red eye disappears. You're locked against the wall, pinned by him.
Suddenly, the other eye flickers on, and Prologue looks confused.
Then, he finally focuses on you, and his eyes widen as he jolts back like you burned him. "Oh... Oh my, I am so sorry, dear-" he clasps his hands in front of him.
"Huh?" Is all you manage, then you swallow. "No, no, Sunny, it's okay, I- Wow. Epilogue is quite the flirt, huh?" You said, trying to lighten the mood, though your heart was beating fast, and your face was bright red.
Prologue looks at you, then at the floor, where he sees the fabric Epilogue had used to tie his hands, and sighs. "Yes. Im sorry for that." He says, looking at you again.
You shrug. "It's... It's uh, cool." You said with a small smile, Prologue chuckled just a tad.
These bots will be the end of you, you're so sure.
You grab your flashlight and pocket your phone before taking one of Prologue's hands. "Let's get out of this hall." You say with a smile, and he nods.
You hold hands for the rest of the security round.
Back on my bullshit this time with Epilogue :)
