#digtaleclipse ship

Lightly kicking his legs eclipse looked down over the edge he had sat himself with a smile. The Glamrocks had managed to get Bonnie's body comfortably resting against the pillows and DJ’s arm. Everyone slowly finding a way to lie down and snuggle together for a nap.

It had been….a long day. A very long day indeed. He was very happy they had been found. For now, Vanessa and Gregory were bringing Cassie to safety. And they all stay another night in the Pizzaplex. They had some generators to charge them overnight and everyone was tired.

Chica looked up at him and waved at him to join. He smiled back gently at her. Signing back that he’d join in a bit. But Sun and Moon were still talking and didn't wanna interrupt them.

She nodded back and joined the others and the growing cuddle pile. Helping proto settle down, between one of DJ’s hands and Monty. Who was making sure that none of the micros that had gotten out of proto to stretch their little legs would get crushed.

He sighed. Moon and Sun had actually stopped talking a while ago. It had been needed. The reboot had fixed them, but they had barely time to talk about any of it. Except that of course they both had missed each other so very much.

He heard bits and pieces of the conversation, as them being in his head he couldn't entirely tune them out. But he ignored them as best he could to be polite. This was a moment for them that was surely needed

But what he heard had made him ache in his chest. The loneliness Sun had felt. The way the virus had corrupted Moon's thinking. Being able to tell something had been wrong. But not strong enough to fight it.

The fights it had caused between them. Well both knowing it was the virus, the insults and actions taken had still cut deep

Tears had been shed, kissed away along with long hugs and reassurances. He occasionally hugged themselves to let all of them know they were okay now. And he felt the sentiment returned

And now both of them were soundly asleep. Laying on either side of him. The pixels of their faces dug into his hips. Their hands clasped together across his lap. And the other holding onto his back. His own hands rested on where their shoulders would be.

It was a cute sight, and he hadn't felt this calm In all the hours he had been awake. And he just needed a moment to just be.

It felt like he was thinking of a million things and nothing all at once. The thoughts glided through his mind without grasping them. As he stared through a gap in the ceiling into the night sky. Playing the words of wonder the duo holding him had uttered at first seeing them. It was truly a beautiful sight.

After their talk, before they fell asleep, the celestial duo had asked him a bit more about MXES. The one that had warned them Cassie was in danger. And he had told them about his friend.

They both had gotten a teasing glint in their eyes. That made him suspicious. But it had also become clear no one else but him was able to see his friend.

And that thought made him upset. He wished that when everyone had rested. He could at least introduce them. But that seemed almost impossible now

He thought that MXES would need time to recharge as well. So he was surprised when he appeared in front of him once more.

“MXES..”

The giant bunny glitch stared at one of the generators seemingly giving it a small nod of approval before turning back to face him

“You look comfy”

He beamed up. Gently increasing his grip on the two in his grasp.

“I am. I don't think I have been hugged this long….ever really”

His friend gave a smile back. Looking at the pile of animatronics nesting below that were one by one slowly powering down.

“Everyone else all right?”

He nodded,

“As right as they can be”

“And you?”

He tilted his head to the side at the question.

“You seemed sad before I appeared “

He could feel the heat rising to his cheeks slowly. Looking down at the pixelated forms of Sun and Moon gently tracing over their arms. Both of them trying to come closer.

“I wanted and try and introduce you all properly…but…it seems they can’t…or anyone here…can hear you”

MXES nodded. An odd expression came over his face.

“Part of the design…you’re special”

He felt the heat rising.

“Still wish you could…they’d absolutely love you “

MXES turned his face to the side, and he was sure he saw a small flush appear.

The sight made him smile and it made him determined to overwhelm him with all the compliments he deserved in the future.

“I would love to talk to them properly someday”

He beamed up at his friend. Already feeling a bit calmer. He hesitated for a moment. Before letting go of his partners’s shoulders. And reaching toward the giant bunny.

Gently coaxing him back to face him by the cheek. Before leaning forward and pressing a short kiss against his nose.

He pulled back gently stroking the base of one ear.

“As thanks for earlier”

The little face boop from earlier was one of the sweetest interactions he had ever had. And he hoped this small kiss was bringing the same kind of happiness to the giant bunny.

MXES's hands were hovering beside them. Clearly startles by his actions. But those wide eyes gentled and the giant bunny glitch leaned closer. And pressed a soft kiss on his forehead. Just below the rim of his head.

“It's appreciated, but you should go rest little spark”

He let out a flustered giggle. He tried to suppress it so as not to wake the other two still in his lap. As he looked away

“I…I know”

One of MXES's hands came to his chin pulling it back up to face him

“What's….wrong?”

The flush on his face grew and he averted his eyes. Leaning back a little. He had a feeling his emotions had been clear as day, another reason why he hadn't gone down just yet.

“...I…it’s…”

He ducked his head further. It felt very silly, to worry about this now. After everything, he couldn't help it. The thought had entered his mind when the talk about resting started and it wasn't leaving him alone.

The giant hand moved to gently rub at one of his rays and it made the pleasant tingle in his chest increase.

“...what if I don't wake back up…”

It was barely more than a whisper. And he couldn't meet MXES eyes. Staring down at his two other halfs

It had been so long since his last activation. Their internal clock had broken long ago. But he was sure it was years, he could see Sun’s logs continue on for years since the last day he was active.

And what if he went to sleep and it be decades later again? He didn't wanna lose this. He had made promises, he wanted to keep Sun and Moon safe after everything.

They had the Mimic to find as well before it tried to hurt someone else! And the Glamrocks seemed nice. He would like to get to know them more. Would love to make more friends

But what if today was all he got? The reset had worked…but would it keep him around?

MXES had let him go and he curled further In himself. Then one of those warm hands pulled him back, his friend having moved behind him, into the other's larger chest. Being slowly filled with the unexpected comfort of being held. Sun and Moon doing it inside their head was one thing. But he was trying to think of a time he had actually ever been held like this and came up empty.

“They aren't gonna let you go that easily, they've got you. You have nothing to fear. And if you are gonna be there for me. I'll be there for you as well. It's okay to be scared…but don't be alone. They…everyone is here for you”

He nodded, raising a trembling hand over the hand holding him. Tipping his head back to find MXES gaze. He whispered softly.

“Thank you”

They sat there for several moments. Just breathing gently. With some gentle words being whispered to him every now and then. He whispered compliments back. Made sure to gently pay attention to the two in his lap as well. Every time he felt them twitch in their sleep

Suddenly he saw a large hand appear before him. He snapped out of his daze looking at DJ.

“You coming little comet? you should get tucked in as well. “

“Oh. Sorry DJ, yes. Just…give me a sec”

He glanced behind him apologetically. And MXES let him go with a gentle press of his nose against his cheek.

And he curled his arms around the pixelated forms of his partners lifting up with him. Both of them let out sweet little grunts and mrrps as they blinked awake.

“Sorry you two, just getting ready for bed myself. “

He hopped onto DJ’s hand and was lowered down. Chica was still up and sat up from where she was in Roxy's lap who was already out. Pulling him into the cuddle pile before he could protest, a blanket was thrown over him trapping him as was held against her and Roxy's side.

He glanced over to the others. Monty had moved to lie on Bonnie's chest, with one of the cleanbots that held Bonnie's consciousness trapped in his hold. Freddy was gently muttering things to his prototype. And complementing all the micros for helping him out. On their other side.

Moon had shifted his pixelated form to lie more across his chest now. While Sun had cuddled fully into his free side holding onto them both their hands finding each other again. While their other hand was gently tracing over his body trying to lull him into rest.

MXES was hovering off to the side again. And seeing him apart from everyone else made his chest feel cold. So he reached out a hand. The giant bunny grabbed it with no hesitation and he used it to pull him down landing close to Moon.

The bunny's eyes were wide, and before he could protest he mouthed at him.

“Please stay”

He got a short nod as MXES shifted to find a comfortable spot, so as not to phase through Moon, despite neither being able to see each other. DJ fully warped his arms around the group creating a barrier no one could pass.

He plucked in the cable handed to him by Chica and settled down. Eyes dropping slowly

“Go get some rest, sweet cheeks. You and the Bois certainly earned it after everything you’ve done for us”

He gave a light nod

“Thank you”

There was a soft nuzzle against his head. But he could hardly keep his eyes open. A soft melody started from his chest. Moon music box, it was missing a few notes. But the sound was comforting. And as he slowly started drifting off into rest mode.

He swore he could hear Sun say

“We've got you”

Followed by Moon.

“You've got nothing to fear”

A second later felt like MXES was stroking his rays again. Along with his staticy voice

“Told you, rest now”
