You and Eclipse planned a little arcade day, he had found the arcade a couple weeks ago and thought it would be fun to visit! So the two of you planned a day to check it out. There were old-school games, and new ones too, along with some food and drinks you could order when you weren't gaming.

So the two of you planned a day and made your way there. The entire walk over you both talked about your favourites and the ideas you had for what to do first. You share the games you want to play... However, you note Eclipse is strangely silent as you go. He makes no mention of what he wants to do first, instead adding onto whatever you want to do.

Upon arriving you and Eclipse make your way in and find a small booth to sit at, food first. You decide on some Pizza and your favourite drink, meanwhile, Eclipse fidgets across from you. Two arms click a fidget cube under the table while one holds your hand.

"You could go play some games while we wait for the food."

You shake your head, "Nah, I can wait! Plus we can chat some more."

Eclipse's fidgeting stops for a moment, his expression dropping with a swift change to something else. You can't get a read on it.

"Actually, uhm... I'm getting a phone call, I need to take this!"

Eclipse smiles and excuses himself from the table, you watch him slink away to the front room and shrug. You might not have heard his phone ring, but maybe he put it on silent. You continue waiting at the table and the food arrives, you begin eating. As you read the end of the pizza the lingering thought of where Eclipse is claws away at you.

He would have come back by now, right? Right... It wouldn't hurt to go check on him. Getting up you head where Eclipse went and take a look around, a 8ft tall animatronic should be easy to find... Right?

You would be wrong.

You don't find him anywhere in the room. His head doesn't appear over the tops of arcade machines, it doesn't show in the back of the room, so you continue a little further and nearly trip as you pass a claw machine. Two hands quickly grab your own and keep you upright, you thankfully don't hit the ground.

"Eclipse??" You look down and find him on the ground with two arms crammed up the price collection area of a claw machine. The sight is truly something to behold. His long arms somehow got themselves stuck in there all the while not even being able to reach any of the prizes.

"Why... Why are you? snrk-" You can't hold back your snickering and it only gets worse as he practically melts further into the floor.

"I put a coin in but the machine got stuck, so I thought I could just grab one."

You can barely answer him as you get down on your knees and start to weasel his arms out of the prize collection slot, "no, no. Here- snrk- let- let me help and I'll show you how it's done."

His eyes widen a bit with strong intrigue, the same look he has when he's made a new discovery about something in the lab. You get his arms free and he patiently waits for you to show him your tricks. You maneuver yourself in a way that your arm goes in the prize collection and grab a little egg plushy. It has a derpy little smile and holds a fluffy heart in it's little arms.

"Ta-da!~ for you!"

"I was trying to get you something."

You wrap your arms around him in a tight hug, looking up at him with the biggest smile.

"We can share it!~ Keep it at your place for cuddles when I sleep over?"

"Of course."

He shares your large smile and wraps all four arms around you, sharing the comforting tightness all the while lifting you off the floor.

"Let's go play some games- Oh, did the food arrive? Have you eaten?"

You nod, "I ate some, yeah, but I wouldn't mind going for dessert. Other than you, you're too sweet to eat just yet."

Eclipse's face lifts with all the delightful fluster and joy you so craved. He spins the both of you and plants a kiss on your forehead, "You're better than any claw prize~ Might just have to take my prize home with me after this."
