#I see Sun later convincing the vigilante to take him to find eclipse while he's still recovering but can move around better

[naffeclipse]

Pssst, hey Naff! Last Pearl Eye ask before I scamper off to read CS's newest chapter hehe X3 (Not a super long one this time)

Ok, ok, so! I cannot stop wondering how the next full conversation between Sun and Eclipse goes, after Sun is strong enough for it. After all, it seems like Sun here is the one with the final word after what happened and Eclipse knows it.

Since this Eclipse is so much closer to the OG in how far he went would he even consider apologizing? Or would he fully expect Sun, now in his right mind, to (rightfully) glare at him just like Moon does and send him away. Now that he is lucid, for Sun to turn him away and sever that last thin-as-a-hair thread that is left of their relationship as family?

Or would Eclipse stay long enough to even have a talk, after it's clear Sun is indeed going to make it? You said he does disappear to lay low for a while, but ough my heart hurts thinking of a scenario in which he just goes off without Sun himself, the one most affected, unable to tell Eclipse his thoughts on the situation when Moon and the vigilante had plenty of time for it ;-;

kjfdhgkljhdg This world just has me in a grip and I'm mentally shaking Eclipse by the shoulders (let's pretend I would even be strong enough XD) and screaming at him "What are you gonna do to make this right, huh?! HUH?!"



Oh man, I just imagine the one time that Eclipse slips into the room where Sun has been recovering for several days now, he sees that he's finally awake and the medicine isn't so heavy right now, either. The uncertainty has passed—Sun will make a full recovery. Sun immediately calls for Eclipse. His older brother is frozen in the doorway. He could be at Sun's side when he was sleeping, unaware of his presence, but now facing him, it petrifies Eclipse. But, he answers. Sun asks Y/N and Moon to give them a moment, and they do, despite glares and silent warnings.

They don't speak for a long time. Eclipse watches Sun's chest weakly rise and fall under all the aquatic plant bandages. Sun weakly looks to Eclipse. The quiet stretches on for so long that Eclipse starts to lose his patience but before he can demand that Sun yell at him and curse him out, Sun says "You stayed."

Eclipse is caught off guard, then reminds that he almost killed him. Sun nods, acknowledges that, and says he's glad he stayed, but Eclipse hurt him. Sun never thought he would.

Silence. Eclipse says that he didn't want that. He didn't want any of this. He wanted Sun and Moon to see the vigilante for what they did and realize that they are no better than him, and Eclipse is so furious and boiling because they love the vigilante and they never wanted him to stay before—but that's when Sun stops him.

Sun repeats what he did at the hydrothermal vents—they always wanted Eclipse to come home. The difference between him and the vigilante is that they are atoning, they are doing better, and he and Moon love them for their change of heart, not despite it.

He wishes that Eclipse would stay, permanently. He would stay and stop doing what he's always done, causing harm and wreaking havoc. Look at what giving in to his bloodlust led to? Sun admits that Eclipse scared him, and he will never forget what Eclipse did to him and all the pain he caused, but he knows that Eclipse regrets it. Eclipse still loves him and Moon. Eclipse wouldn't have stayed if he didn't.

Eclipse is furious. He's not sure why, he just can't stand to hear this and he does the only thing he can do—leave.

He slips away to go sulk in the sea caves and figure out what exactly that all means, but he's never too far away that he can't check on Sun, Moon, and the vigilante from afar.
