my braincells have aligned at last, to READ!! DELICIOUSLY!! YIPPIE!!!!
ahhh!! This AU is so, so much fun! It leaves me wanting more >:3c
(spoiler-y Yaps below)
Ok I already gotchu for the first half so hold on lemme---
The IMMEDIATE tone shift once Gabe was noticed had me!! Like yea!! oh yay!! Get spun!! ^-^
I wonder if they are assigned to be on the look-out for the person who has been orchestrating the kidnappings.... (perhaps suspecting the reader...? :3c maybe that's why Sun's on edge.. hmm.. Guilty til proven innocent...)
The "guess" for his name. is so real. sir idk what if ur name is John. Be Polite (silly)
and ohh, the reader being a blacksmith, and noticing that Sun's role mightve been repurposed--thats such a neat detail!! I am Looking!! Especially if the glamrocks are the "standard" for guardbots...? (More animal-themed? Ponders)
I adore how you characterize both Moon and Sun! Their bickering is excellent, and so is Sun playing a more 'serious' role while Moon's full gremlin. Now I gotta draw Moon's outfit!! Ah!! Its over!! Perhaps a fun outfit for blacksmith!yn, too, if u have any refs... Teehee.....
The descriptions of the village & the holiday cheer is so cozy and joyous....
And oh, a gentleman's gesture from Moon at the end? Cheeky?? So silly, so coy? :3 I adore how playful he is! Absolutely charming ^-^
in summary: I am VERY normal about this. My brain has it as the 'christmas special' movie for CS, an absolute treat!! I can't wait to see where the story goes, both for the character dynamics and the overarching "whodunnit" of the missing children cases...
(I wonder whose the King...? Hm. ... Wuh, oh....)
(Unexpected) Season's Greetings
❄️❄️Midnight's DCA December Day 7❄️❄️
guhhh it's HERE, this got long, it's now going to be ch. 1 of a multi chap fic, I'm going feral over this, pom what have you done-
ahem, anywho, so this is a little something of an au of Confused Spirit (an au of an au if you will) called Holiday Spirit!
Set in a holiday village instead of the plex, reader works as an animatronic technician/blacksmith and encounters a pair of guard bots that are in the village for sceurity purposes (guess who lmao) won't explain the whole plot as this story covers most of it but something to keep in mind is this; the characters here ARE CS characters, but the story is different than CS. As in, the characterizations are the same in how they act, but certain plot points differ as well as the origins for character motivations and such. That is to say, take anything here and in the story that follows with a grain of salt in regards to Confused Spirit. Okay? Okay. Enjoy!
Prompt: I have pondered the orb for a very-super specific scenario, and I THINK!! I have cooked one up that's hopefully fun to tackle... :3c A tree lighting ceremony in a historical town, decorated to the nines as a Holiday village! Its dark, its cold, the world is blanketed in snow-- but there's hot chocolate, a crowd, and beautiful light displays. (Atmosphere, ✓) The DCA is one of the robots/animatronics stationed to interact with guests/assist security. Part of whatever company is in charge of all the lighting/special effects etc that the Town hired. (DCA, ✓) Find a lost kid, or a lost kid stumbles upon them--get them to safety. I keep thinking about hot cocoa & melting peppermint sticks in, so maybe they get the kid a cup to warm up? :3 Whether the kid is the reader's kid, sibling, etc-- they find them, frazzled. (Reader, ✓) Tree lighting, together! Fireworks, together! Could interrupt their conversation, play it all out wherever whimsy takes you (This could be an AU of confused spirit -- AU within an AU, I enjoy the inception x3 Take whatcha want outta the word salad here, dont worry about adding it all in!!)

❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
"I just don't know about this Abs." You say, huddling further into your coat as the wind blows by.
Your friend nudges your shoulder. "What? Afraid of a little light show? Come on, it's the holidays! Or holiday time, anyway. What's the harm that can come from that?"
You shake your head, dodging past another bunch of people eagerly walking through the displays. "I'm just not a fan of so many capital people in town I guess..."
Your cozy little village was on the map for one reason and one reason only, the grand evergreen tree that sat in the middle of the square, assumed to be hundreds of years old, which was always decorated extravagantly for the holidays. Tonight was the lighting ceremony that would officially kick off the holiday season.
You were, not exactly enthused about it, for the reasons you've already shared. People from everywhere came to gather in your village—which, mind you could hardly accommodate so many extra bodies—to watch the lighting ceremony and partake in the festivities.
If you were younger and more carefree, you'd have enjoyed the commotion, you used to love people watching from the roof of your house, watching the fireworks display and cuddling up against the chill of the night air with—
You stop, the memory's gone, faded. Grown over with a bitterness and a grief you're more familiar with nowadays. Still, it does irk you that a memory from so long before the accident is so foggy. But, you let it pass you by like all the rest. It was better that way.
The only reason you were out here now was for your siblings, and really just the older of the two. Gabe was just a baby, he wouldn't remember this. Lisa on the other hand would probably be upset if you didn't uphold the family tradition of watching the ceremony and visiting the night market and lights displays.
"Oh, I think it's good for you to get out of that shop of yours every so often. Think the smoke fumes would get to your head otherwise." Abby slings her arm over your shoulder and flicks your forehead.
You rub the spot, frowning. "Gee, thanks."
"I'm just saying, you gotta a live a little more." The slightly sad smile on her face doesn't miss your gaze. "If not for yourself then for them, yeah?"
You nod, sighing, and relent, offering a small smile in return. "Yeah, you're right."
"Speaking of, where's Lisa and Jack?"
You turn forward again. "They should be over by the—oh no."
Sure enough, neither your sister nor Abby's brother are where they should be. Immediately, you panic. You start looking around for the pair, calling their names as you weave through the crowd, which thickens as you move closer to the town square. When you arrive near the tree, still waiting on the lights to be finished prepping, and the king to show up, you and Abby decide to split to cover more ground.
While she heads to the side of town towards the lake, you head in the direction of the remaining market you'd yet to explore.
Meanwhile you try to keep calm. While Lisa had a penchant of running off—especially when around a certain friend of hers by the name of Gregory—you were particularly worried because of the amount of people. Not to mention, there was always the concern of something worse happening.
Everybody was aware of the disappearances happening all across the capital. Whispers of children vanishing without a trace sent ripples throughout your quiet town, and with the king himself in your village, there were concerns that he'd bring with him whatever it was that was causing these missing cases, not unlike those that happened so many years before.
But, thinking like that wouldn't find your sister, and so you have to bury those thoughts and focus. Think logically. If you were an eight year old girl with her friend who'd follow her anywhere, where would you go?
At that moment, you hear Gabe's stomach rumble and it clicks. Somewhere with food it is then.
Along the way, you take note of the additional security that's present this year. Seems the threats that'd been directed towards the monarchy as of late weren't being taken lightly. It also didn't slip past your mind that the majority, if not all, this additional protection consisted of machines.
Many looked exactly alike, large wide eyes and blank faces, though there was the occasional difference. For example, a bear and a rabbit animatronic stationed together, the bear standing tall and resolute, while the rabbit lounged casually beside him. If you remember correctly, you recall both a wolf and a gator roaming around the square with the tree, as well.
You were half tempted to ask them if they'd seen your sister or Jack, but decided against it in the end. While you worked on animatronics and machines in general every day, you preferred not to talk with your clientele outside of work. It was better that way. Better to not mix business and pleasure. You'd learned that the hard way—
A rogue scream interrupts your train of thought. One that sounds far too familiar to not investigate. No one else seemed to hear above the chattering crowd, but when it happens again, coming from a nearby alleyway, you know it's Lisa.
You force yourself through the crowd, stumbling into the alley, and head towards where you heard the sound. But by the time you get near the end, you see no sign of your sister.
You sigh, defeated, and near the edge of tears. You run a hand through your hair, stressed. This is all your fault again, why can't you just do anything right—
There's a loud creak above you, followed by the sound of mechanical clicking. You look up in time for something to land on the ground in front of you, something else dropping down onto the railing of the fire escape just above that.
The figure on the ground rises, slow, calculated, while the one on the railing stares down at you, red eyes narrowed and head tilted.
They're wearing the same outfit as the other guards from before, red coats and blue pants, with gold and white detailing spread throughout. The one standing has shimmers of gold near the bottom edge of his coat, not unsimilar to the sky near dusk, from what you can see of the other's there's bits of purply-blue, reminiscent of twilight.
You take brief note of the hats adorning them both, but it's their faces that catch you off guard. Not because they're animatronics like all the rest, either.
Celestial bots, the two of them. The one perching has features of the moon, a bluish-white crescent for the right side of his face, and deep blue for the other. His counterpart, the one standing in-front of you, has the features of the sun, with that same crescent combination, only yellow and a softer shade of blue, instead.
None of you say anything for a moment. Simply watching, waiting. You glance briefly to the end of the alley, knowing you'd unlikely be able to make it should this turn sour. Though, you really hope not.
"Can we help you, friend?" The sunny one asks, head clicking to the side, white eyes narrowing.
You're too surprised to speak for a moment. But you're not entirely sure as to why. Finally, you shake your head, coming out of your daze. "I, maybe. I'm, looking for someone. Well, someones. Two kids, boy and a girl. Have they come through here by any chance?"
"And we should tell you because...?"
His tone catches you off guard, but you're hopeful. "I, the girl's my sister. She ran off with her friend, my friend's brother and we've been looking everywhere for them. Please, if you've seen them, I, I need to know."
You take note of the way the sun bot is examining his hands, paying special attention to the way he taps the gold, claw-tipped finger on his left hand. You swallow, you're not stupid, you know a threat when you see one. You want to instinctively reach back for Gabe, but resist.
After a moment, the yellow animatronic laughs. Looking back over to you. He takes a quick stride, looming over you suddenly. "Sounds like a bit too coincidental of a story, don't you think, friend?"
The one on the railing tsks. "Careful."
The sun relents, stepping back with a grumble, smile faltering.
Your shoulders relax for a moment, though only for a moment.
The moon rests his chin in his hand. Red eyes narrowed cheekily. "But not too careful."
They turn to each other then, speaking in hushed tones. You strain to make out what they're saying.
"—They do look similar, though only slightly. But what—"
"I think you're being paranoid. Not to mention a bit..."
"I believe cautious is the word you're searching for." A pause. "And I'm not..."
"It's not. But I certainly—what else could that twitch in your eye mean?"
Once the whispering becomes harsher and harder to discern is when you realize they're just bickering now. But before you can interrupt, a sneeze emits from the bundle strapped to your back, followed by the sound of giggling.
Both bots cease their fighting and whip to face you. You see your opportunity.
You turn around, pointing both thumbs down at your brother. "Look, she looks a lot more like him than me. If that's not enough I don't know what is."
Before you can face the two again, you find yourself being picked up by your shoulders and spun around.
You understand what's happening when you hear the yellow bot speak, in a much lighter tone than before. "Well hello there little friend! Aren't you just the cutest little bundle of joy I've ever seen? Are you warm enough? Should I get you another hat, another scarf maybe?"
You continue to be spun around, Gabe giggling and squealing with delight. Finally you have to say something as your world grows dizzy.
"Hey! I'm also here you know!"
As if on cue, you're set down again. Nearly stumbling before a hand rests on your shoulder.
Glancing up, you see the sun animatronic cough into his gloved hand. "Well then, I suppose that will do." He turns and nods to his partner. "Go get them."
"A please would be nice."
He tilts his head, grin as wide as ever. "It would, wouldn't it?"
A moment's pause, the moon's eyes narrowing. Then, with a snicker, he rises, balancing on the railing before leaping up, disappearing over the edge of the roof. Leaving you alone.
It takes you a moment to notice his counterpart is back to fawning over your brother. Cooing at him while Gabe delights in the attention.
"And what's your name, little friend?" He asks.
You answer. "Gabriel. And yours?"
Quiet for a moment. A long moment. Then—
"Take a guess."
You tsk, but figured as much. "Not going to ask mine then?"
"No need. I've heard all about you already."
You twist slightly. "What's that supposed to—"
You're stopped by the sound of that same shriek from earlier, but now you realize that it wasn't one of fear, but of pure unhindered joy.
The moon bot—or Moon, you suppose—lands on the ground not far from you. In his arms is your sister and Jack.
"Lisa! Jack! Thank god." You rush over to them both, scooping them up in your own arms once they've been set down. "What in the world were you two thinking running off like that?"
You release them again, and they both mutter apologies.
Your sister kicks her foot against the ground. "We just wanted to get a better look at the tree..."
"But then we got lost." Jack continues.
You sigh, ruffling the hair on both their heads. "Next time, wait for me and Abby, yeah? If you wanted to get a closer look we could've walked faster."
"Sorry..." Lisa shakes her head, "But it's okay! Mr. Sun, and Mr. Moon took good care of us in the meantime!"
"Yeah! We got hot chocolate, and Mr. Moon took us for a ride!"
You smile. "Well if that's the case, what do we say then?"
Both kids turn to the bots. "Thank you!"
"Of course!"
"Our pleasure."
You stand up again, nodding once. "We better get going, or we're going to miss the ceremony." You glance between the two animatronics. "Thank you both again. I, don't know what I would've done if you hadn't found them." You lower your voice to speak more to yourself. "Probably sock someone... to be honest."
You start to usher the kids out of the alley, but don't miss the gaze exchanged between the guards. Just as you've turned around, you're startled to find Sun has slipped his arm to intertwine with yours.
"We'll accompany you back to the square. It's the least we can do after such a scare!" He nods to the kids, already starting to get ahead again. "Moon will watch the children. Won't you?"
There's a sound, similar to grinding gears, behind you. Then a chuckle. "Of course."
He walks ahead, and plucks the two off the ground, raising them to ride on his shoulders.
"Oh, I couldn't ask that of you—"
Sun's claw-tipped finger taps against your arm, head tilting as he looks down to you. "I insist." Then, cheery again. "We'd really be more than happy to!"
"I, okay."
The three of you make your way back to the square, Moon slightly ahead of you with the kids.
"So, friend, are you excited?"
You chuckle. "For what part?"
"Any of it, I suppose. It's quite the spectacle!" Sun says, looking around.
You can't deny it, it is lovely tonight. The chattering villagers and capital citizens, everyone in nothing but high spirits. The warm lights of the street lamps and string bulbs put up especially for the event. Children run and play amongst the crowed, going stall to stall. A small bit of snow falls from the sky, not quite coating or adding to the current piles that litter the streets.
Your smile is small, soft. "Yeah. It is. Can I be honest with you though?"
Sun nods.
"I just, I guess it just, hasn't done much for me in quite a few years." You shake your head. "Used to, don't get me wrong. Used to love all of it. But now it's just, well, I'm here for them more than me, you know?"
You notice that you've made it just in time for the tree lighting. The king's already begun his spiel. You wouldn't be paying attention anyway. Hell, you don't even think his kids are.
Additionally, Abby must've spotted you, rushing over to where Moon stands with your siblings, looking relieved.
"Is there any particular reason for that?" His face snaps down to yours. "Do you think?"
The tone shift catches you off guard. "I, um—" You pause, noticing something. Particularly, Sun's rays. They're patterned in a way you wouldn't expect for a guard animatronic. And the baubles at the points of each remind you of bells. Kind of like—"Were you always programmed to be guard bot?"
The tables turn. His eyes widen, wide grin faltering. Instinctively, your hand reaches up to inspect further. "These remind me of something."
"I—"
Suddenly, the crowd erupts into a cheer. Immediately the two of you break apart, and you turn just in time to watch the tree burst with lights. Starting from the bottom and rapidly climbing the tree in a spiral that ends with a flash of light from the star at the top. Seconds after, fireworks start to burst in the sky.
Despite the lack of joy the festival has given you the past several years, in that moment you can't help the smile that slips across your face.
A soft chuckle from beside you. "Pretty as ever, isn't it?"
"Yeah. It is."
A hand rests on your shoulder. Glancing up you see it's Moon. "Lovely meeting you, Star. But we should get back to our posts. Right, Sun?"
A pause. Then. "Of course! Our job here is done." Sun releases your arm, turning to face you. "Until next time, friend."
Sun bows, and Moon does the same, but takes your hand, pressing the back of it to his face plate. It makes you laugh, the edges of your ears burning, and not just from the cold.
Before you can say anything more, Sun takes Moon by his padded shoulders and marches him back in the direction they came.
You don't get to think on the encounter further, as your preoccupied once more with wrangling your sister and—trying—to enjoy the evening with your friend. Though, given this was only the beginning of the month's celebrations, you expected you'd be seeing them again potentially.
And if they had anything to say about it, you would.

For example, a bear and a rabbit animatronic stationed together, the bear standing tall and resolute, while the rabbit lounged casually beside him. If you remember correctly, you recall both a wolf and a gator roaming around the square with the tree, as well.
You were half tempted to ask them if they'd seen your sister or Jack, but decided against it in the end. While you worked on animatronics and machines in general every day, you preferred not to talk with your clientele outside of work. It was better that way. Better to not mix business and pleasure. You'd learned that the hard way—
A rogue scream interrupts your train of thought. One that sounds far too familiar to not investigate. No one else seemed to hear above the chattering crowd, but when it happens again, coming from a nearby alleyway, you know it's Lisa.
You force yourself through the crowd, stumbling into the alley, and head towards where you heard the sound. But by the time you get near the end, you see no sign of your sister.
You sigh, defeated, and near the edge of tears. You run a hand through your hair, stressed. This is all your fault again, why can't you just do anything right—
There's a loud creak above you, followed by the sound of mechanical clicking. You look up in time for something to land on the ground in front of you, something else dropping down onto the railing of the fire escape just above that.
The figure on the ground rises, slow, calculated, while the one on the railing stares down at you, red eyes narrowed and head tilted.
They're wearing the same outfit as the other guards from before, red coats and blue pants, with gold and white detailing spread throughout. The one standing has shimmers of gold near the bottom edge of his coat, not unsimilar to the sky near dusk, from what you can see of the other's there's bits of purply-blue, reminiscent of twilight.
You take brief note of the hats adorning them both, but it's their faces that catch you off guard. Not because they're animatronics like all the rest, either.
Celestial bots, the two of them. The one perching has features of the moon, a bluish-white crescent for the right side of his face, and deep blue for the other. His counterpart, the one standing in-front of you, has the features of the sun, with that same crescent combination, only yellow and a softer shade of blue, instead.
None of you say anything for a moment. Simply watching, waiting. You glance briefly to the end of the alley, knowing you'd unlikely be able to make it should this turn sour. Though, you really hope not.
"Can we help you, friend?" The sunny one asks, head clicking to the side, white eyes narrowing.
You're too surprised to speak for a moment. But you're not entirely sure as to why. Finally, you shake your head, coming out of your daze. "I, maybe. I'm, looking for someone. Well, someones. Two kids, boy and a girl. Have they come through here by any chance?"
"And we should tell you because...?"
His tone catches you off guard, but you're hopeful. "I, the girl's my sister. She ran off with her friend, my friend's brother and we've been looking everywhere for them. Please, if you've seen them, I, I need to know."
You take note of the way the sun bot is examining his hands, paying special attention to the way he taps the gold, claw-tipped finger on his left hand. You swallow, you're not stupid, you know a threat when you see one. You want to instinctively reach back for Gabe, but resist.
After a moment, the yellow animatronic laughs. Looking back over to you. He takes a quick stride, looming over you suddenly. "Sounds like a bit too coincidental of a story, don't you think, friend?"
The one on the railing tsks. "Careful."
The sun relents, stepping back with a grumble, smile faltering.
Your shoulders relax for a moment, though only for a moment.
The moon rests his chin in his hand. Red eyes narrowed cheekily. "But not too careful."
They turn to each other then, speaking in hushed tones. You strain to make out what they're saying.
"—They do look similar, though only slightly. But what—"
"I think you're being paranoid. Not to mention a bit..."
"I believe cautious is the word you're searching for." A pause. "And I'm not..."
"It's not. But I certainly—what else could that twitch in your eye mean?"
Once the whispering becomes harsher and harder to discern is when you realize they're just bickering now. But before you can interrupt, a sneeze emits from the bundle strapped to your back, followed by the sound of giggling.
Both bots cease their fighting and whip to face you. You see your opportunity.
You turn around, pointing both thumbs down at your brother. "Look, she looks a lot more like him than me. If that's not enough I don't know what is."
Before you can face the two again, you find yourself being picked up by your shoulders and spun around.
You understand what's happening when you hear the yellow bot speak, in a much lighter tone than before. "Well hello there little friend! Aren't you just the cutest little bundle of joy I've ever seen? Are you warm enough? Should I get you another hat, another scarf maybe?"
You continue to be spun around, Gabe giggling and squealing with delight. Finally you have to say something as your world grows dizzy.
"Hey! I'm also here you know!"
As if on cue, you're set down again. Nearly stumbling before a hand rests on your shoulder.
Glancing up, you see the sun animatronic cough into his gloved hand. "Well then, I suppose that will do." He turns and nods to his partner. "Go get them."
"A please would be nice."
He tilts his head, grin as wide as ever. "It would, wouldn't it?"
A moment's pause, the moon's eyes narrowing. Then, with a snicker, he rises, balancing on the railing before leaping up, disappearing over the edge of the roof. Leaving you alone.
It takes you a moment to notice his counterpart is back to fawning over your brother. Cooing at him while Gabe delights in the attention.
"And what's your name, little friend?" He asks.
You answer. "Gabriel. And yours?"
Quiet for a moment. A long moment. Then—
"Take a guess."
You tsk, but figured as much. "Not going to ask mine then?"
"No need. I've heard all about you already."
You twist slightly. "What's that supposed to—"
You're stopped by the sound of that same shriek from earlier, but now you realize that it wasn't one of fear, but of pure unhindered joy.
The moon bot—or Moon, you suppose—lands on the ground not far from you. In his arms is your sister and Jack.
"Lisa! Jack! Thank god." You rush over to them both, scooping them up in your own arms once they've been set down. "What in the world were you two thinking running off like that?"
You release them again, and they both mutter apologies.
Your sister kicks her foot against the ground. "We just wanted to get a better look at the tree..."
"But then we got lost." Jack continues.
You sigh, ruffling the hair on both their heads. "Next time, wait for me and Abby, yeah? If you wanted to get a closer look we could've walked faster."
"Sorry..." Lisa shakes her head, "But it's okay! Mr. Sun, and Mr. Moon took good care of us in the meantime!"
"Yeah! We got hot chocolate, and Mr. Moon took us for a ride!"
You smile. "Well if that's the case, what do we say then?"
Both kids turn to the bots. "Thank you!"
"Of course!"
"Our pleasure."
You stand up again, nodding once. "We better get going, or we're going to miss the ceremony." You glance between the two animatronics. "Thank you both again. I, don't know what I would've done if you hadn't found them." You lower your voice to speak more to yourself. "Probably sock someone... to be honest."
You start to usher the kids out of the alley, but don't miss the gaze exchanged between the guards. Just as you've turned around, you're startled to find Sun has slipped his arm to intertwine with yours.
"We'll accompany you back to the square. It's the least we can do after such a scare!" He nods to the kids, already starting to get ahead again. "Moon will watch the children. Won't you?"
There's a sound, similar to grinding gears, behind you. Then a chuckle. "Of course."
He walks ahead, and plucks the two off the ground, raising them to ride on his shoulders.
"Oh, I couldn't ask that of you—"
Sun's claw-tipped finger taps against your arm, head tilting as he looks down to you. "I insist." Then, cheery again. "We'd really be more than happy to!"
"I, okay."
The three of you make your way back to the square, Moon slightly ahead of you with the kids.
"So, friend, are you excited?"
You chuckle. "For what part?"
"Any of it, I suppose. It's quite the spectacle!" Sun says, looking around.
You can't deny it, it is lovely tonight. The chattering villagers and capital citizens, everyone in nothing but high spirits. The warm lights of the street lamps and string bulbs put up especially for the event. Children run and play amongst the crowed, going stall to stall. A small bit of snow falls from the sky, not quite coating or adding to the current piles that litter the streets.
Your smile is small, soft. "Yeah. It is. Can I be honest with you though?"
Sun nods.
"I just, I guess it just, hasn't done much for me in quite a few years." You shake your head. "Used to, don't get me wrong. Used to love all of it. But now it's just, well, I'm here for them more than me, you know?"
You notice that you've made it just in time for the tree lighting. The king's already begun his spiel. You wouldn't be paying attention anyway. Hell, you don't even think his kids are.
Additionally, Abby must've spotted you, rushing over to where Moon stands with your siblings, looking relieved.
"Is there any particular reason for that?" His face snaps down to yours. "Do you think?"
The tone shift catches you off guard. "I, um—" You pause, noticing something. Particularly, Sun's rays. They're patterned in a way you wouldn't expect for a guard animatronic. And the baubles at the points of each remind you of bells. Kind of like—"Were you always programmed to be guard bot?"
The tables turn. His eyes widen, wide grin faltering. Instinctively, your hand reaches up to inspect further. "These remind me of something."
"I—"
Suddenly, the crowd erupts into a cheer. Immediately the two of you break apart, and you turn just in time to watch the tree burst with lights. Starting from the bottom and rapidly climbing the tree in a spiral that ends with a flash of light from the star at the top. Seconds after, fireworks start to burst in the sky.
Despite the lack of joy the festival has given you the past several years, in that moment you can't help the smile that slips across your face.
A soft chuckle from beside you. "Pretty as ever, isn't it?"
"Yeah. It is."
A hand rests on your shoulder. Glancing up you see it's Moon. "Lovely meeting you, Star. But we should get back to our posts. Right, Sun?"
A pause. Then. "Of course! Our job here is done." Sun releases your arm, turning to face you. "Until next time, friend."
Sun bows, and Moon does the same, but takes your hand, pressing the back of it to his face plate. It makes you laugh, the edges of your ears burning, and not just from the cold.
Before you can say anything more, Sun takes Moon by his padded shoulders and marches him back in the direction they came.
You don't get to think on the encounter further, as your preoccupied once more with wrangling your sister and—trying—to enjoy the evening with your friend. Though, given this was only the beginning of the month's celebrations, you expected you'd be seeing them again potentially.
And if they had anything to say about it, you would.
