What's This?
❄️❄️Midnight's DCA December Day 4❄️❄️
Sorry for the lateness! Busy few days and then realized I needed to take some time for myself and make something I enjoy, so finished this finally.
Prompt: Maybe someone teaching Moon what christmas is? My moon just recently became 'sentient' and so doesn't understand alot of things yet! So he'd have no idea what christmas is! I think it'd be cute. Doesn't have to be my Moon, of course. Just the idea that Sun hasn't told him for some reason, so someone else has to!

"And put the tinsel here, here, and here!" Sun directs, point to various locations around the Daycare.
You chuckle, but follow his orders. 
The two of you were decorating for the holidays, and having found a box of decorations in the back of the Daycare's supply closet, Sun had gotten to work immediately. And had put you to work as well. Additionally, he had asked for you to order more supplies, wanting to spiff the place up as much as possible for the kids. He also mentioned wanting crafting materials for Christmas and holiday themed projects, so that was piled on to this order. 
You think his request for 30 boxes of candy canes was a little excessive, but the rest had all been reasonable and within budget. So, using what you had, and what you now had, to really go all out. 
You cut into another box, opening it to find fake holly and mistletoe, as well as a couple of wreaths. 
"So, any particular reason for this excess cheer this year?" You ask, taking the supplies out and setting them in a pile on a nearby table. 
At this, he clamps up for a moment, but then shakes his head. "Nothing specifically, it just seemed like a good opportunity! I needed ideas for the next few weeks for activities, why not do something to lift the holiday cheer!"
You think the answer was odd in its wording, but can't think of anything to say in response beyond, "Fair enough."
You're mid-decorating when the lights cut, as is usual for this time in the day. 
Without looking up from organizing colored paper and pipe cleaners, you wave in Moon's direction, "Hey, bud. You also in the Christmas spirit?"
No answer. 
You look up, and find Moon is entirely motionless. You would think he was powered off if not for the muted clicks and whirls you hear still emitting from him. 
You frown. "Moon, you alright?"
"I, what..." He tilts his head, and looks around. "What is all of this? Is something happening? Is there some, odd, birthday party occurring today?"
Your brows furrow, "Well, no. This is, these are Christmas decorations. I mean, holidays overall, but mainly for Christmas." 
He takes a step over to where tinsel is hung, picking it up between two fingers. His faceplate twists to the left, then the right. Then, he turns to you. 
"...Christmas?"
Now you're the one who's confused. 
"I, you mean, how do you—" You stop. "Moon, you don't know what Christmas is?"
He shakes his head slow. 
You clasp your hands in front of your mouth, eyes wide at the news. 
When you don't say anything, Moon seems to become apprehensive, chuckling awkwardly, "Should, should I?"
Realizing yourself, you shake your head slightly. Taking a deep breath, you break out into a grin, clapping your hands. 
"Oh, this is so fun! I can show you so many things and all the traditions. We can put up decorations together, watch movies, do some crafts, oh! We can bake cookies too! Though maybe that's not a good idea to do in the dark and—" You pause, noticing he's just staring at you completely lost. You clear your throat, speaking more slowly now. "Sorry, to answer your question, no not at all. I know you don't get a lot of exposure to everything, so it makes sense, though I don't know why Sun wouldn't—but ah, I'm so excited to tell you! If, if that's alright of course."
Moon tilts his head, and you're afraid you may have just overwhelmed him. You're about to apologize again when he laughs softly.
"I think I would like that, Star." There's a fondness to his words you can't place, it's gone when he seems to notice it himself. "If, you don't mind, that is."
You nod, eager, and can't help yourself as you rush over and take his hand, "I would be honored."
As you turn and lead him towards your grand pile of boxes and decorations, you don't know how fast his faceplate spins the moment after your hands make contact. 
You sit down and pat the spot next to you with your free hand, Moon following your lead after a moment. 
You shift so that you're sitting cross-legged across from him, and he does the same.
"Okay so..."
You start by explaining the origins of the holiday, what it means for different people, and how people celebrate depending on where they're from and such. You tell him all about every tradition you can think of, including the ones you personally do. 
Along the way, you notice Moon's body language shift from apprehensive and confused, to curious, to invested in what you say. It in turn fuels your own excitement as he asks you polite questions every so often, and you deliver every answer with as much detail as you can. 
You worry that you may be doing too much again though, so you mention such. "Sorry, I know this is a lot and I'm going super fast, I just, the holidays are really important to me you know?" Your voice grows soft and you look away, laughing shyly. "I um, I don't really get to spend them with many people anymore so I guess I just got super excited since we're friends and all. I'm probably boring you at this point aren't I? I can stop if this is a bit too much."
You start to feel embarrassment creep in. You'd been talking for ages now without stop, save for when he interjected every so often. For all you know Moon could be actually exhausted by how much you've had to say, it's kind of impossible to tell with that immobile faceplate of his. 
Color you surprised you feel a hand under your chin, turning your face back up to look at his. 
His eyes are narrowed gleefully, and his tone is soft as he gazes down at you. 
"You could never bore me, Star." He tilts his head. "You know that, right?"
Your eyes dart to the side, "I, um, I guess not, but still you must be—"
You suddenly find his face taking up your entire field of vision. And, after a moment's hesitation, he quickly plants his grin to your lips, then pulls back. "Whatever you may be thinking, it's quite the opposite. Seeing you so passionate it, it's contagious, and if I could I would ask you to never stop." 
Then, he looks away and folding his hands into his lap, making a sound similar to a cough. "Apologies I, I suppose I didn't know a better way to tell you then that. If you that was a step too far please, forgive me."
You however, are too busy trying to ignore the heat creeping up your neck onto your face. 
You clear your throat. "Moon?"
"Hm?"
"If that's your way of explaining things, I wish you'd have started it sooner." Before you can think on it further, you reach up and grab his collar, pulling him back down to kiss him again. 
After a—much longer this time—kiss, you pull away, breathless. 
For a moment, Moon doesn't say anything. 
Then, "Perhaps now would be the time to ask you about hanging mistletoe around the Daycare?"
"I can think of a few good spots for it."
He chuckles, leaning in once more, "So can I."
