C- "YIPPEE!!! We found it!!"

F- "Hard to believe it stayed in tact with how the plex collapsed in on itself."

C- "You and I both know Mani was super thorough with his inventions and all that. Even making sure Tyr's were all up to snuff!"

F- "....Hey Chica, come take a look at this."

C- "Bawk bawk bawk?"

Chica slides over to one of the worktables, the thing being a huge mess of notes and blueprints and whatnot.

F- "There's blueprints for [REDACTED] here, even some notes on how to work...a portal??"

C- "Chirp! Oh I remember Mani mentionin' that he was working on a project to travel through dimensions. Ya know, incase they ever needed to hop through to another one. Liiike incase they wanted to leave this dimension behind. Not that I blame them, Fazbear really sucks."

F- "Me, my brother, or the company?"

C- "Company sweetie."

Chica deadpans as her and Freddy read through Mani's notes. They also read some on how to track dimensional signatures, Chica taking the time to input Mani and Sol's into her arm panel.

F- "....When???"

C- "I asked Mani if he could install it on me. He's my bestie, so ya know, I wanted to be able to do the things he did. Also it's super convenient, Fred!"

F- "....Right."

Freddy looks over the dimensional signature of Sol and Mani, inputting it into the computer. Once the portal opens up next to them, Chica pushes Freddy in first.

F- "WHY???"

C- "You're bigger than me!"

"Remember to aim for the head! ...That's how zombies usually work, right?"

"KICK! THEIR! ASSES!"

"That's what I'm talkin' about!"

"Yeesh- remind me never to get on your bad side, dude..."

"Time to send these freaks back where they came from!"

"Yeahhh! YEAHHH!"

"Get 'em! Get 'em!"

"Hey, look: more scary demons of Hell! You know what to do, Ricky."

"Sorry, I don't really speak *inhuman noises*"

"...And come back when you're ready to act like an adult!"

Titan: Hm?

Teek drags Titan on over to the small loft above the cat room. They point upwards at it then push Titan towards the ladder.

Titan: Easy, easy! Don't have to push me around just because you're taller than me.

Titan was only teasing, awkwardly patting Teek on the head once he was high enough up on the ladder. He sometimes forgot Teek struggles with tone to the point they'd cry if they thought you were being genuinely mean when you teased them.

Titan: So what's the problem this ti-

Titan freezes when he sees a mannequin having been slipped under Teek's blankets. Oh hell nononononononononono!!!! Quickly scittering back down the ladder and hiding behind Teek, he now understands why they needed help.

Titan: MI FLOR???

Sun: Wh....YEAH??

Titan: Need a little help here, please!

Sun: Whyyyy?

Titan: ManequinupintheloftpleasehelpI'llhelpmakedinner-

Sun: Oh! Man you, Teek, Moon, and Cosmos my god.

Sun struts past Titan, though not before giving his boyfriend an affectionate little headbutt. He climbs up the ladder and grabs the mannequin by the ankle, dragging it down from the loft and towards the backyard. May as well burn it outside.

Titan: ....Thank you, honey.

@lunar-disillusionment

Nico had forgotten to eat for said several hours, having had just finished off the last of his chores from the night before. He would have done it sooner if it hadn't been for spotting something shiny and blue.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Basically this episode but it's being rewritten so that Nico is the target of Solar's "love-bug". Most of the beginning parts remain the same up to a certain point.

Footnote to add later: Solar considers Jack and Nexus as family(Jack as his younger brother, Nexus as his older brother), no one else. That doesn't mean he's comfortable with the idea of being with Sun or Moon or even Terra or Cosmos. It also should be noted Solar's mentally around 19-20 years-old, same with Nico.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lunar: Why do you even let me talk to you?

Nico: It's called "my family is busy and I have nothing better to do". I could be wrapped up in my weighted blanket nest right now listening to some calming tunes, but apparently my help is needed with the computers.

Lunar: Are you even good with that stuff?

Nico: .....No-

Lunar: For real???

Nico: Might surprise you, I'm more talented with musical instruments, specifcally the drums.

Lunar: Thaaat explains why you're always showing off your muscles.

Nico: exasperated sigh No, Lunar. I have sensory issues with my arms. Can't stand having sleeves at all. ANYWAY c'mon let's go see what's up with them.

Nico scitters behind Lunar and starts ushering them towards lost and found, which was where they were being called to. Nico had been living with the Celestials for a good amount of time considering Titan, his recently officially adoptive father, was getting married to Sun soon.

While Nico is considered a "good kid", he did tend to do incredibly stupid and reckless things. Such as backflipping off of the golden Glamrock Freddy statue out in the plex's lobby. He wasn't coping well with the loss of his twin sister still, a model from a separate location in the TSAMS crew's prime dimension.

Sun: You got us a what????

Nico trilled in curiosity, now rushing ahead of Lunar and pushing the door open.

Solar: Well...yeah. We got you and Titan a house, made sure it was under your name and everything. Also made sure it had enough room for Dazzle, Nico, Elena, and Terry too.

Sun: But on an island?? Are you sure about the....oh heyyyy Nico...nice to see you.

Nico: What's this I'm hearin' about an island house??

Sun: I wouldn't worry about it till me and your dad are married, ANYWAY!!! How much did that even cost??

Solar: Well if you really wanna know, go ask Monty, they're the one that deals with all the math and paperwork and whatever....

Nico: I still can't get over the fact your Monty's older than mine was-

Moon: Weren't you guys twins with you being the older one?

Nico: By like....five minutes. We were built and finished at the same time, I was activated before her.

Sun: ....I'm gonna go ask Monty how much money they spent on that island house I swear to fucking god they'll be considered LUCKY if it's just me asking about it!

Moon: Lemme come with I'ma make sure you don't rip his optics out.

Sun: long exasperated sigh Fine, don't expect not to get burned if I use my magic on them. God fucking damnit, Monty....

Sun and Moon make their exit, leaving Lunar and Nico alone with Solar. Solar keeps himself occupied on the computer for a few seconds longer before turning to Lunar.

Solar: What are you still doing here?

Lunar: I am....so bored in the daycare. I ain't got nothing to do.

Nico: Pretty much same boat as Lunar...except, you know, I was called here.

Solar: Cool, cool....yeah anyway. Computer stuff. I just, uh, I just need to finish up a thing here-ACH-!!!

Solar jumps back from the computer, their rays shrinking in as they clutch their hands together. What the hell was that, he's not supposed to feel that!

Lunar: Uh...you okay dude?

Solar: I'm fine, just....fine. I just have a....

Solar's looking straight at Nico, feeling a tingling sensation get sent throughout his entire systems. Did Nico always look that cute when he seemed confused? Concerned? How strange....

Solar: ....Hey. What are you up to...?

Nico: Oh you know, I was gonna, uh, help with the computer stuff.

Nico started inching back, his glow clicking on. He got a sense that something was wrong with Solar. He was used to Solar not reciprocating the fond stares he gave them. Was used to Solar being more closed off, less interested in what he was doing in the moment.

Lunar: I'm sorry, excuse me?

Lunar looks back and forth between Solar and Nico as there's a long, pregnant pause shared between the two of them. He didn't know what the hell was going on with both new adults, but he could get the sense this was about to go sideways in three different directions.

Solar: Your name's....Nico, right?

Lunar: Yeah he works here. Lives with you guys...I think??

Solar: ...Mm...yeah I-I knew that.

Nico: Lunar speak for me again and I'll punt you through the window. Don't test me!

Solar muffles his giggling at hearing Nico threaten Lunar like that. Oh they really were meant to be~!

Lunar: Hey hey, I'm sorry but what the hell is going on?? Hello?? Solar, you were gonna teach him some computer stuff or something like that! Hello??

Lunar waves a hand in front of Solar, earning a low growl from the New Eclipse model.

Solar: Get. Out. Of the way.

Nico takes that as his cue to back away more, only to find himself in a corner. Aaaand now Solar had pushed past Lunar to practically pin him to the wall. Kinda walked right into that one, didn't he?

And now Lunar was trying to block Solar from going any further. Not like he didn't appreciate the effort, but still. Nico sort of liked getting noticed this much by Solar, it sent a familiar tingling sensation throughout his systems. Though he was oblivious to how deeply Solar must've been effected by that shock that came from the computer.

Solar: You think you're gonna get in the way? Hm?

Nico: L-Lunar, maybe you should get out of the way.

Lunar: ....Oh don't fucking tell me you actually like what he's doing!

Nico: I mean....I kind of like that he's paying more attention to me. He's usually so closed off, even when I try to...you know...

Lunar: Or maybe we should get Sun or Moon or-

Solar: Get out of the way, Lunar!

Speaking of, Moon comes back in the background, staring owlishly at the sight before him. Lunar has to practically drag Nico away from the corner, which earns roars of protest from the gator model. Lunar plants Nico beside Moon, glaring at him.

Lunar: Hey so, need your help here!

Moon: ....So what's happening??

Solar's smaller black rays come out, evidently agitated by Lunar dragging Nico away. The fact he wasn't imagining the way Nico looked at him, all flustered and giving him a nervous yet hopeful fanged smile. Nico was into him, the feelings were mutual! Why couldn't Lunar see that?!

Solar came storming over, his head constantly twitching side to side. Almost like it wanted to rotate completely but couldn't do the motion correctly.

Solar: Moon. I just....I need to talk to him.

Solar went to walk past Moon, only for Moon to step in front of him. Nico backs away to get some space. There was also the fact he sort of enjoyed being chased after. Kinda thrilling!

Solar: Move! Aside!

Solar pushes Moon aside while his best friend tries to get him to stop in his pursuit in a relatively calm manner.

Moon: Solar. Solar. Solar-

Moon follows after Solar outside the room where Nico seems to have waited for him. Nico's tail is swishing back and forth, going faster as Solar manages to catch up with him.

Solar's fingers are gently brushing through Nico's valentine red hair, leaning over him as Nico practically melts into his touch. Nico's giggling in a lovesick way, one that Lunar loses color from. All the while, Sun finally comes back.

Solar: You know...I could treat you pretty good, right?

Nico: Mmmmaybe I want you to.

Lunar: Oh HURL-!!

Moon: SOLAR, what are you doing?

Solar huffs and rolls his optics, turning his faceplate to face Moon while keeping Nico close to himself. His fingers stopped running through Nico's hair to pull his head close to chassis.

Solar: What could you possibly want? To keep him away from me?

Moon: Solar, buddy, I just asked what you're doing.

Sun: Okay, WHAT IS HAPPENING?? I just got here!

Moon: I really don't know-hey!!

Solar and Nico had almost gotten away with sneaking off, but then Moon dragged Nico away from Solar.

Moon: No! No! points at Solar You especially! NO!! BAD!!!

Nico: Why not??

Moon: Pretty sure your dad would kill me!

Lunar: Speaking of! We definitely need more muscle than these twinks. So maybe go get your dad and Monty?

Moon: How about YOU do something?!

Nico winced from how loud Moon suddenly got, bolting out into the lobby. Needed to get away from the noise! Needed space to turn down his audio receptors!

Monty: Okay so we just-! Oh, heyyyy kid.

Nico: !!! ....Not a kid, Monty.

Monty: Same age as Solar, you're a kid.

DJ: Whaaaat's happenin'?

Solar managed to get away from Sun, Moon, and Lunar. He's already approaching Nico and fast.

Solar: Come back here....

Moon: Solar! Solar! Freddy stop Solar!

Glamrock Freddy: Wh-?? Okay??

Nico: No! Don't stop him!

DJ: What in the AO3 fanfic??

Solar: He loves me like how I love him! Don't you see that?? So stay out of my way!!!

Glamrock Freddy is a little confused, but he ultimately ends up holding Solar back. This earns him a sweeping kick from Nico to the back of his knees, causing him to fall over.

DJ: OKAY WOAH WHAT IS HAPPENING??

Nico: Stay out of it!!!!

Lunar: I....have never seen Nico this upset before. I have no idea what the hell is going on with BOTH OF THEM!

Nico: Solarrrrr!!

Nico's giggling manically as he whisks Solar in his arms. He's significantly shorter than Solar is, around the same height as Sun and Moon in fact. This gives Solar enough leeway to bury his faceplate into Nico's cap.

Moon lets out a groan, facepalming himself. He then turns to Lunar to look for some answers.

Moon: Lunar....what happened when we left?

Lunar: Bro was messing around with the computer, he-they-Solar! Solar was messing with it then got shocked or somethin'! And then they started acting crazy! And what's worse is that Nico seems REALLY into it! Like, in a lovesick kind of way!

Sun: inhales I'm sorry, shocked?

Moon: Eeee okay you guys keep an eye on those two I'ma go check the computer real quick.

Solar and Nico are already trying to get away.....AGAIN! They both end up having to be surrounded to keep the both of them from running off.

Solar: Don't you dare take him from me! He's mine!

Nico's staring at Solar with hearts in his optics and his tail wagging like crazy. Monty tries to keep the both of them from bolting by standing at the front of the group.

Monty: We're not gonna take him, we just need you kids to stay in one spot. Just...stay here. Where we can keep an eye on you.

Nico: You're acting like he's gonna hurt me, Monty.

Monty: Nick-

Nico: I trust him!

Solar can be heard purring with delight, squeezing Nico closer to his body. Yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes!!!!!

Moon: Heyyy I'm back....so....

Sun: So what??

Moon: My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. Um....

Another pregnant pause as Solar and Nico get super lovey dovey in the background. Nico melting into Solar's touch again while obsessively clinging to him. He didn't want to be taken away from this fantasy. Just a little bit longer, that's all he asks for!

Moon: So Solar must've been using that computer to.....cope....with being single.

Sun: What are you talking about???

Moon: And a virus ended up being on that website. Ended up making Solar a yandere.

Lunar: Jeebus didn't think a virus like that existed!

Moon: ....Love-bug, ever heard of it?

Lunar: ....Oh that's so dumb. That's so stupid. Oh my god....WAIT doesn't that mean Nico also has it?? He's really into Solar acting like this there's no way he doesn't have it!

Moon: ....You know what? Lemme check real quick his dad should know that.

Moon types in Titan's phone number before calling it. It takes a few seconds for Titan to pick up.

Titan: What do you need Moon, little busy here.

Moon: Hey Titan when's the last time Nico got a full systems check?

Titan: Funny you say that, I've been trying to get him on the table since a month after he gained sentience. Unfortunately shit kept happening and I haven't gotten a chance since we moved in with you guys. ....Why...?

Moon: Just needed to know so I could maybe do it-

Titan: Yeah good luck with that.

Titan hangs up on Moon right as a loud crash can be heard in the background. Sounded like Terry had gotten into Moon's office again.

Moon: ....Okay I'm gonna go find an anti-virus and make a copy of it to use on Nico later if Nico DOES have a love-bug in his systems.

While Moon goes off to nab an anti-virus, Solar and Nico manage to get away from the group. All it took was another kick from Nico, this time to Monty's shins, and another kick from Solar to DJ's knees.

The pair of them run right on up to the Fazpad where they hope to get some privacy. Going all the way by the pool tables where Solar pins Nico right to the wall. Nico giggles manically again, feeling his entire body heat up with his cheeks burning bright sky blue.

It's not even five seconds later when Moon sneaks up into the Fazpad with the antivirus. Since Nico's in a love-drunk state, Moon knew he was gonna have to rely on Solar being distracted with Nico to inject it into Solar's systems. Moon was honestly glad he kept the needles under his fingertip casings for a scenario like this.

Moon: Okay Nico....just keep being a love-drunk idiot for me....

Moon sneaks right up on Solar, taking the moment of Solar and Nico kissing as his opportunity to inject the anti-virus into Solar's systems.

Solar: Gh-!!!

Nico: !!! Solar!?

Nico squeaks and slides to the floor upon seeing Moon behind Solar. His fantasy was over....it was all over! And Moon had witnessed the full extent of how deeply he crushed on Solar!

Solar held his head and stepped away from Nico for a moment. Moon waited with bated breath as Solar went quiet. Once Solar started lifting his head, they turned to look at Moon and then back at Nico.

Solar: Um....hey....guys. I, uh....

Moon: Welcome back, Solar.

Solar: ....I'm gonna try and....erase my memories of what just happened-

Nico: Why?

Solar: ....You weren't actually into that, right?

Nico: Well, um, uh....

Nico awkwardly gets back up, his glow still very much prevalent.

Nico: ImeanIalreadyhadacrushonyoubeforeyouendeduplikethatandIstilldoso-

Solar: ....Let's....wait a couple days before we go on an actual date, Nico. I need to process all of this....and that.

Nico can feel his metaphorical heart beating faster the moment Solar mentions going on a date.

Nico: O-Okay yeah I can wait a couple days!!!!

Moon: Nico.

Nico: A-! Y-Yeah Moon?

Moon: You and me are going to Parts and Service. We're getting your systems checked.

Nico: I swear I don't need one!

Moon: ...I'll throw in ice cream afterwards.

Nico: ....What flavor?

Moon: Uuuh blueberry?

Nico: ....Fiiiiine.

Moon: Awesome to parts and service we go.

Day 10: Sincere

Characters: Isha R. Ghafa/Martijn Mollen

Fandom: Grishaverse

Summary: Isha and Martijn tell each other one secret about their names.

“Did I ever tell you my name?”

“Of course you did. It’s Martij–”

“My real name.”

Isha paused for a second and looked over at him. They were both sitting by the fire place in her room, having conversations about anything that popped up in their heads. He had distant look in his eyes, one where someone was remembering something bad or tried to forget every happened. “No,” she replied, “I suppose you haven’t.”

The silence lingered for a short while before he said, “Jitejen Yul-Yomaar. That’s my name.”

He looked over at her, the distant look in his eyes more clear. Marti– no, Jitejen– didn’t seem to be the type to be open up about his past. In fact, the only thing she knew about it up until this point was the fact that he grew up in a orphanage in Keramzin.

“Do you want me to call you that for now?”

He waited for a bit, then whispered, “only when it’s just us. If you don’t mind.”

“Why would I mind, Jitejen?”

The name, to him, sounded lovely when it came out of her mouth. He hadn’t heard it in a long time, having to give it up to blend in to Ketterdam the best he could. “No reason.”

The silence came back, but it was a good kind of good silence. A moment passed before Isha muttered, “…Rietveld. My middle name is Rietveld.” Jitejen smiled at that name, “that sounds like a nice middle name,” which made her smile back at him.

“So does your name.”
