Chapter Text

Sun still didn’t know why he was brought here of all places. If Killcode wanted to keep him captive, then surely there were much better places than trapped in a small bunker with Eclipse of all people.

Eclipse seemed just as displeased, perhaps even more than Sun, which was a little odd. Sun thought that perhaps his enemy would have delighted in a chance to torment Sun. After all, he was alone, while Eclipse had Solar Flare at his command. They could easily tear Sun apart together. That fear was a huge source of distress in the first hours, leading to Sun sitting defensively in a corner, trying to look braver than he felt.

Eclipse saw right through it, smirking at Sun’s cowering. He stated that he wasn’t interested in hurting Sun. And even if he was, he wasn’t ‘allowed to’, whatever that meant. Sun assumed Killcode just didn’t want them to kill each other. If they did, then he’d have no one to hold captive. Sun groaned. He really hated that giant red-eyed creep.

Once the fear faded, boredom was quick to move in. Sun soon found himself slouching in his corner, head in hand, glaring at the far wall. Just what on earth were they expected to do! There was a small television in the room, but they were hidden so far underground that no satellite or internet connection could reach them. And there were apparently only five DVDs of old movies to choose between. Killcode never made good on his promise to bring more variety. That bastard. The movies quickly became so repetitive that Sun memorized all of the lines for each of them. It was maddening, but the noise of the tv was still preferable over the silence.

So, the days dragged by slowly. Eclipse would spend the majority of his time tinkering with his tools, messing around with wires and gadgets, muttering to himself. Solar Flare always stood nearby, ready to retrieve whatever Eclipse ordered him to. He really was like an emotionless robotic servant, and Sun wasn’t sure if he should pity him or not. All Eclipse had to do was pause for a long moment, or glance at an item, and Solar Flare would step forward with his favorite phrase.

“Do you require assistance?”

He heard it so many times it made Sun want to pull his rays out. He eventually moved over to the bed. There was only one, but Eclipse never seemed to sleep. Sun alternated between sitting and lying draped across it, boredom eating away at him. At this point he’d welcome even open malice from Eclipse. An argument or fight would be stressful, but it would be something to do! As it was, Eclipse just ignored him entirely.

Every so often, Eclipse would get up from his desk and walk off into one of the other rooms, ordering Solar Flare to follow. That particular room stayed closed at all times. At first Sun didn’t really care to question it. But as time passed, and it became a noticeable pattern, Sun couldn’t help but grow curious. Hey, he was bored!

Realizing that he’d not yet explored the bunker, Sun decided that it was high time to finally get off the bed and look around. The next time the other two disappeared, Sun got up and crept toward the doorway. He stood in it, feeling a bit awkward. The central room was Eclipse’s makeshift lab, with his desk and tables full of his various crafts and creations. It definitely looked like Eclipse had been here for a while, if the haphazard piles of papers and tools was anything to go by. Half-made gadgets and gizmos cluttered across every surface. It made Sun itch to start cleaning and organizing, but he shoved the impulse aside.

As he entered the room, the nonstop noise from the tv faded. The walls were thick metal, muffling all sounds even with the door open. Sun walked across the room, toward the door opposite the one that the others had went through. He didn’t want to just go straight there, in case they returned quickly. He didn’t want to be caught trying to eavesdrop right outside their door. So he went to the other door, opening it slowly and peeking inside. It was rather disappointing. Just what looked like a storage room, with tall shelves stacked with supplies. No wonder Eclipse never seemed to run out of metal to tinker with.

A faint noise made Sun pause. He turned back toward the lab, looking around for anything that could have made a sound. But all lay undisturbed. Aside from the television and Eclipse’s occasional talking, the bunker was always totally silent, without even the sound of pipes in the walls or the hum of electricity.

Sun shrugged it off when the silence remained. He closed the door and stood in the lab, unsure of what to do next. He glanced toward the big reinforced door that he knew led out of this prison. Eclipse had told him days ago to not bother trying to get through it. He’d already spent weeks trying.

Another sudden noise! Sun jolted in surprise. That sounded…like a voice? Like Eclipse’s voice. It sounded almost like a yelp or shout. Sun’s feet took him straight to the door. He didn’t like Eclipse. He hated him. But he couldn’t help the spike of worry at the idea that Eclipse could be hurt. What if that Solar Flare thing went crazy? He was much stronger than either solar animatronic. One malfunction and they could be trapped with a mindless murder-bot.

Now panicking a little, Sun reached out and grasped the doorknob. Without thinking this through, he swung open the door. He instantly regretted it.

This new room seemed to be a bathroom of sorts. There was a tub in one corner. And a shelf with folded up towels and blankets. And a large metal table in the middle of the room, where Eclipse was currently sitting, leaning back on his elbows.

His legs were hiked up and sitting on Solar Flare’s shoulders. Solar Flare himself stood between Eclipse’s legs. Both of them stared at Sun. Sun’s eyes darted all around, lingering on Eclipse’s pants lying rumpled on the floor. His fingers itched to grab and fold it, if just to have something to do. His face was absolutely burning, and he knew it was glowing red.

“Ever heard of knocking?” Eclipse said casually.

Sun tried to say something back, but he stuttered over his words, sentences falling apart entirely. Eclipse rolled his eyes, dropping his legs and sitting up. This change in position revealed an even more mind-melting sight. Solar Flare’s hand was between Eclipse’s legs, at his centre, and in the silence Sun could hear a low buzzing. Were Solar Flare’s fingers…vibrating? He watched those thick metal fingers gently slide against Eclipse, who twitched. He quickly grabbed Solar Flare’s wrist and pushed it away.

“Enough.” he ordered. “The party’s been crashed.”

Solar Flare stood straight, lowering his hand. The buzzing ceased. Sun felt like his entire body was on fire. He couldn’t help but stare at those fingers. A faint sheen of wetness clung to them. And god did Sun suddenly miss his room so badly. Not just the safety and privacy, but what he kept hidden there. He’d never admit to owning a vibrator, but he did, and he missed it very much. Being trapped for an untold number of days was frustrating in every kind of way, and Sun’s body and mind craved some kind of outlet.

“Do you require assistance?”

The words made him jump, and Sun’s wide eyes darted up to Solar Flare’s blank face. Those strangely piercing eyes were staring at him. Sun squeaked in response. Solar Flare tilted his head slightly at him.

“I am detecting high arousal.” he stated. “Do you require assistance?”

Eclipse laughed hard, sitting prettily on the table and looking like a haughty cat.

“Aww, poor Sunny.” he taunted. “Is someone feeling a little lonely?”

Yes. But certainly not for you! Sun wanted to yell, wanted to turn tail and run. But he was frozen. Eclipse chuckled some more.

“Is your brain broken?”

Yes. Yes it was.

“Do you require assistance?” Solar Flare asked again, turning to fully face Sun.

A devious smirk crawled across Eclipse’s face. Sun saw it and knew what was coming before he opened his mouth.

“You know what? He sure does.” Eclipse snapped his fingers at Solar Flare, and pointed at Sun.

Next thing Sun knew, he was picked up and placed right next to Eclipse in one fluid motion. He sputtered some more, and then Eclipse was sitting in his lap.

“Oh just shut up.” Eclipse said.

And then he kissed Sun, effectively silencing his stream of incoherent words. Sun still couldn’t get his body to react the way he wanted. His mind screamed to shove Eclipse off and run to the bed, curl up under the blankets and never peek out again. But he just sat there, feeling Eclipse’s tongue slide over his lips. He was pushed until he lay on his back, Eclipse gripping his shoulders tight, leaving him nowhere to turn. Sun felt Eclipse grind his crotch down onto his, and a startled whine left his lips as Eclipse pulled away. His grin was as sharp as his gaze as he stared down at Sun, clearly enjoying how flustered he'd become. He then tilted his head over his shoulder, giving a terse glance back at Solar Flare.

“Well? Get to work.” he ordered.

The tall bot didn’t hesitate. He took his previous position, reached out, and pulled Sun’s pants off of him. Sun gasped at the rush of cold air meeting his bare legs. He caught a glimpse of his clothes fluttering down to join Eclipse’s before his head was pressed back down onto the table with the force of Eclipse’s kiss.

Sun felt fingers lightly grasp both of his legs, pushing them apart and then sliding up his thighs. He shivered and whimpered, feeling Eclipse laugh into his mouth. He jolted when he felt two of those fingers start vibrating as they inched toward his pussy. Eclipse dipped his hips down onto Sun again, and this time their centres met without cloth between. Eclipse’s folds were already warm and wet, creating a slick friction against Sun’s. And those vibrating fingers continued to advance, teasingly slow. How in the hell did Solar Flare know how to do this? How was he even capable of it?

“H-how?” Sun said as he freed his mouth from Eclipse’s. “How is he d-doing that?”

“What, his little party trick?” Eclipse smirked. “It gets boring as hell in here. I had time to experiment.”

Sun didn’t know what to make of that. The idea of Eclipse programming certain, ah, features into Solar Flare was bewildering. Eclipse just leered down at him.

“Well, it can be our little secret now. Promise you won’t tell my dad.”

The brief mention of Killcode, even in jest, had a flash of distaste crossing Eclipse’s face, before it was replaced with dark glee when Solar Flare’s fingers finally met Sun’s pussy.

Sun’s mouth fell open in a gasp. Solar Flare obviously knew just where to go. His two buzzing fingers slid gently up Sun’s folds to his clit. He slowly pressed and rubbed at the sensitive nub. Sun twitched and whimpered, legs already shaking. Eclipse watched his face with a wide smug grin.

“Poor sweet little Sun.” he taunted.

Sun felt frustration spike through him. It was as if he’d just now discovered how pent up he was, and a few strokes of talented fingers just wasn’t enough. He needed more, he needed to do something.

He glared at Eclipse, and reached up to grip his arms. Eclipse blinked at him. Sun’s feet shoved Solar Flare away, and with a surprising show of strength, Sun leaned up and flipped Eclipse over. His body landed hard on the table, and Sun was now on top. He immediately aligned their hips, grinding down hard. Now it was Eclipse gasping against an unexpected shock of pleasure. His darkly glowing eyes met Sun’s, and he reached up and grabbed Sun hard by his rays, dragging him down into another kiss.

“Do you require assist-”

“Not yet.” Eclipse mumbled, mouth still sliding sloppily with Sun’s.

All sense quickly left Sun. He forgot who he was and where he was and who he was currently humping like an animal. Both of their pussies were soon dripping with slick, flowing down and over the edge of the table to drip slowly onto the floor. Sun dug his fingers into Eclipse, his hips rolling. He was drunk off the sensations, his climax closing in fast. Okay, so maybe he was very pent up. It had been a while. He came fast and hard, burying his face into Eclipse’s neck as he cried out.

He fell limp onto Eclipse, who laughed quietly. He felt fingers slide over his rays, making him shiver in his afterglow. All was quiet, aside from Sun’s heavy breaths, until Eclipse finally spoke.

“Who would’ve thought little Sunshine had it in him.” he hummed. “Now it’s my turn.”

Sun felt Eclipse’s thighs clamp down over his hips, and then he rolled them both over, once again placing himself on top. He sat grinning on Sun’s lap. He hadn’t cum yet, and was clearly still very turned on, his pussy pressing down onto Sun’s every now and then, sending little sparks through Sun’s clit.

Sun felt like his limbs had grown heavy, and so just lay there and watched Eclipse roll his head back lazily to address Solar Flare.

“Get the toys out.” he said.

Sun blinked, his foggy head finally clearing a bit. He watched the tall bot turn toward a cabinet. He dutifully opened up a drawer and pulled out some items, turning and placing them down onto the table. Sun's eyes widened. They were…silicone phallic shapes? There were three of them, each one a little bigger than the last. Eclipse lifted a hand and pointed to the smallest one.

“I’ll go easy on you, Sunny.” he said.

Solar Flare came to Eclipse’s side with a mess of black straps in hand. Eclipse took it and began buckling it around himself like a strange belt. Sun had never seen anything like it, and watched in open curiosity. Solar Flare plucked up the…object that Eclipse indicated, handing it over. Eclipse snapped it into place on the belt. Sun looked, and then realized that it was no belt. It was a harness, pulled tight around Eclipse’s waist and upper thighs. And a circular slot rest in its centre, which Eclipse had now placed the phallic object.

Holy shit it was a strap-on. Sun may not have ever seen one, but he quickly figured it out. Eclipse laughed at his expression. He rose up onto his knees, off of Sun, and grabbed him by the thighs. He shoved Sun upward and settled between his legs, holding them open.

“First time?” Eclipse asked, though his tone made it clear he knew the answer.

It was indeed Sun’s first time with…this kind of thing. Or really any sort of penetration. But like hell was he going to admit that. And thankfully he didn’t have to. Eclipse let him off the proverbial hook, drawing his keen eyes away from Sun’s and looking toward the remaining two fake dicks. He pointed to the medium-sized one, and Solar Flare immediately picked it up. A panel slid from over his crotch, and Sun saw a circular divot there. The phallic member fit perfectly into it, and Sun was now staring at Solar Flare, who stood stoically with what appeared to be a raging hard-on. It would have been hilarious if Sun wasn’t currently being pressed to the table.

Eclipse lay his body over Sun’s, closing the gap between them and capturing his mouth again. This kiss was surprisingly tender, and Sun felt his body relax a fraction. He felt Eclipse’s hands squeeze his thighs. His hips dipped, and Sun felt the slide of firm plastic slot in between his folds. Eclipse rubbed the silicone dick along Sun’s pussy, catching the slick that still coated it. Sun groaned as it glided over his clit. Eclipse broke the kiss, lifting up a bit to look down. He gripped the dick with one hand, guiding it into Sun’s opening. It pressed against his entrance, and Sun internally fought not to tense up. He winced as it entered, slowly sheathing into him. Sun was surprised, both by the fact that it didn’t hurt as much as he feared, and also the fact that Eclipse wasn’t taunting him or gloating. Sun stared at his face, marveling at the look of concentration. Eclipse looked the same way when working on his more delicate projects, when he didn’t realize Sun was watching him.

Sun hesitated, and then wrapped his legs around Eclipse, giving him a squeeze. This drew the other’s attention, and the cocky grin returned. He gave a slight cant of his hips, and Sun gasped. That was definitely a new sensation. Eclipse hummed deep in his throat, giving Sun a few shallow thrusts, letting him adjust. Sun moaned, quickly discovering that he loved this feeling. And he wanted more of it. He bucked his hips up, and heard Eclipse’s breath stutter for a second. His thighs squeezed around Eclipse, holding him in place. As Eclipse thrust down, Sun rose up to meet him. They quickly found a rhythm, and soon both were panting. Eclipse then paused, and looked over at Solar Flare. All he had to do was give a sharp tilt of his head, and the loyal bot was stepping over. With practiced ease, he took his place behind Eclipse, who remained still. The lack of movement made Sun whine impatiently, and Eclipse slid a finger over his mouth, playfully shushing him. But his grin soon fell into a scowl, and he rolled his eyes.

“I don’t need any prep. Hurry up.” he said over his shoulder.

“Understood.” Solar Flare answered.

Peering down, Sun watched those large fingers pull out of Eclipse’s opening, and then grip his newly-acquired dick. He lined it up, and slid smoothly into Eclipse. Eclipse groaned, eyes falling shut as Solar Flare hilted all the way into him. None of them moved for a moment, until Eclipse opened his eyes. He gazed down at Sun as he addressed the bot behind him.

“Move. Now.” he ordered.

And Solar Flare obeyed. His hips slid back, and then rocked forward. The force sent Eclipse grinding hard into Sun. Both solar animatronics moaned in tandem. Solar Flare set the pace, starting out slow and then picking up speed. He deepened his thrusts as he went, pushing further into Eclipse and likewise sending him deeper into Sun. Eclipse groaned at the dual sensations, looking at Sun with hungry eyes. He dove in and captured Sun in a rough kiss, their metal faces smacking against each other.

His tongue licked at Sun’s lips, and Sun opened his mouth to give access. Their tongues slid along each other, both opening their mouths to gasp as the thrusts got harder. Sun wrapped his arms around Eclipse, just like his legs, holding Eclipse flush against him entirely. Eclipse responded by grabbing one of Sun’s rays, tugging on it lightly. It made Sun whimper into Eclipse’s mouth. Suddenly, Eclipse pulled back from Sun’s face, mouth hanging open.

“Ahhh, ahh fuck.” he groaned heavily, his body beginning to twitch and writhe.

His movements caused him to brush up against something inside of Sun that made colors pop behind his eyes. Sun’s head craned back so fast he smacked hard against the table beneath. Eclipse was still getting reduced to a moaning mess, and he was dragging Sun along with him. Sun’s voice rose in pitch as that spot was hit repeatedly.

“Ahh, I- ah!” Sun lay pinned beneath the other two’s weight, trapped under an onslaught of blinding pleasure.

He felt a second climax rushing toward him, much more powerful than the first. His thighs clamped hard around Eclipse, and through hazy vision he watched him arch up. A series of raspy cries fell from his lips, eyes squeezed shut, body shaking. Sun watched him come undone, knowing that he would soon follow. The dick inside him rubbed against that spot again, and that was the final tipping point that sent him tumbling. His second orgasm swallowed him whole, and Sun wailed as he rode it out.

As he came down from the high he realized that the thrusts were still going. It quickly became overwhelming, and Sun was not ready for another round so quickly. He whimpered and cried out, unable to form words to beg it to stop! But thankfully Eclipse felt the same. And he recovered his ability to speak before Sun could. He reached behind himself to swipe at Solar Flare.

“Enough, s-stop!” he said between gasping breaths.

Solar Flare obeyed, his movements halting eerily fast. He carefully pulled out of Eclipse, who groaned in response. He relaxed down onto Sun, laying his head on Sun’s shoulder. The two lay entangled for several long seconds.

“You gonna let me out?” Eclipse eventually muttered.

Sun slowly unwrapped his arms and legs from around Eclipse, who groaned again and lifted his hips to slide out of Sun. Sun winced, feeling what would surely be the start of some soreness later. Eclipse rolled off of him and onto the table. The two lay side by side, catching their breath in the silence.

Eclipse recovered first, and sat up. He undid the strap-on quickly, setting it aside. Solar Flare could be heard moving about the room. Sun assumed he was cleaning and putting away everything. Or at least, he hoped so. This was about to be awkward enough without those things just sitting out in plain view.

“Well,” Eclipse chuckled. “This was fun.”

And there it was. Sun groaned, raising his hands to hide his face. He heard Eclipse break into laughter.

“What? This beats sitting around miming the lines to Back to the goddamn Future for the hundredth time.”

And well, he did have a point.

Chapter Text

“C-Can I clean up around here?”

Eclipse paused his writing and looked up at Sun, who stood awkwardly in the doorway. Sun wondered how obvious it was that he was trying to keep a straight face and not fidget. After their…activity yesterday, Sun had wiped himself down, yanked his pants on, and then fled. He escaped into the bedroom and buried himself under the blankets, ignoring the laughter that floated out from the bathroom. He had just now dredged up the courage to crawl out of his hiding place and look Eclipse in the eye. So here he stood, valiantly not looking away or fiddling with his ribbons, awaiting an answer.

Eclipse just stared back at him with a dismissive gaze, looking bored and a little irritated at the interruption. If Sun could sweat, he would.

“I won’t touch anything you don’t want me to.” Sun added. “I just…I just need something to do.”

Eclipse sighed, letting his pen drop onto his notes. He looked exactly the same as he did before yesterday, as if nothing had actually happened. As if it was just another day in their cage. It made Sun feel crazy, like maybe he’d dreamt it all up. He wouldn’t be surprised.

“If it’ll keep you from sitting on the bed whining, then knock yourself out.” Eclipse finally answered. “Just don’t touch anything on my desk. And don’t break anything.”

Sun nodded, relieved that the moment was over and he had something to do. He got to work immediately, first by gathering all the scrap and half-made creations and carefully storing them in a box he found. He then set that aside and retrieved some rags from the bathroom. He wet them with water from the bathtub, and began scrubbing all the tables. There was a surprising amount of dust, oil and grime that had built up, and Sun wondered just how long Eclipse had been kept here. He hadn’t dared to ask. He kept feeling like he was being watched, but when he’d glance at Eclipse, the other would be staring down at his papers. Solar Flare stood in his usual spot like a statue, gazing straight ahead at nothing. But when Sun’s eyes left them, he swore he felt their gaze. It made him more and more nervous, which just caused him to clean harder. He scrubbed the tables, and then the very floor, crawling all over. He even pulled the tables away from the walls to get the spaces between.

When all the surfaces shined, he brought out the box, and organized everything as best as he could. He didn’t know what most things were, so just grouped them according to size and shape, throwing paranoid glances at the others the entire time. It was almost completely silent. The television was muffled from the bedroom, and the only other sound was the light scratch of Eclipse’s pen. Just what was he even writing? The sound was starting to irritate Sun, but he forced the feeling down with all the other negative thoughts. Eventually Sun ran out of things to clean and organize. He stood there feeling awkward again.

“Okay, I’m done.” he announced to the room.

He winced internally at his scratchy voice, sounding too loud in the quiet. Eclipse just hummed quietly in acknowledgement, eyes still on his work. Sun wanted to bash his head into the wall. Why was he acting so weird? Why was Eclipse acting so normal? Sun yearned for something else to occupy his mind. He looked around to see if he missed a spot, and caught sight of himself. In his zeal to clean, he’d made himself rather dirty. The grime he’d scrubbed from everything now coated his whole body. He felt even more anxiety. There was no way he could return to the bed like this! The sheets would get filthy! He’d have to wash himself off.

Sun rushed into the bathroom, turning the water back on. Thankfully the tub was fairly large, and had hot water. Sun got a towel and set it down nearby, neatly folded. He found himself looking forward to this. It had been a long time since he’d cleaned himself, and a nice warm soak sounded like heaven. He stood before the tub, watching the water fill up.

“You’re so easy to fuck with.”

Sun shrieked loudly, jumping into the air. An arm looped around his waist, saving him from falling into the tub. Sun scrambled to turn around, wide eyes taking in the sight of Eclipse, who was laughing hard. Sun glared at him, pushing him away. Eclipse nearly doubled over, clearly very amused by Sun’s reaction. Sun huffed, annoyed but also trying not to smile. It felt like a building tension had finally been released, and Sun felt so relieved. Eclipse gave one last chuckle, and started pulling his pants off, bouncing on one leg. Sun sputtered in surprise, and Eclipse just rolled his eyes at him.

“What? You think I’m going to let you enjoy a bubble bath on your own?” he said, unwrapping his ribbons. “Besides, your back is coated in dust. Don’t know how you managed that one.”

“Wha- wait, what bubbles?” Sun asked.

“These bubbles.” Eclipse reached into a nearby drawer and pulled out a box. “There’s not a lot left. I told Killcode to get more, but god knows when he’s coming back.”

He tipped the box, and sprinkled a bit into the tub. It was quick to foam up as the water level rose. Eclipse put the box away and gave Sun a slight push as he moved past him and into the tub. Sun watched him settle into the water, leaning against the back of the tub and stretching his legs out. He set his elbows up on the rim, reclining and then looking up at Sun.

“Well? Get in, loser.” he said.

Sun didn’t know how he felt about his bath getting commandeered. He’d been looking forward to relaxing, and now that wasn’t possible when he’d be too busy feeling awkward and nervous. But he did still need to get clean, so Sun gave in with a quiet groan. He peeled off his pants, which were also layered with dirt, and set them aside. He’d figure out how to get those cleaned later. He then unclasped his ruffled collar and pulled off his ribbons. They joined his pants. He worried over what he'd put on once he was clean.

“I’ve got some spares around here.” Eclipse said, apparently reading Sun’s thoughts.

“Oh, um, thanks?” Sun replied.

Eclipse scoffed, pointing into the water. Sun hurried up, stepping into the tub. He avoided Eclipse’s legs, which wasn’t easy, squishing himself into the opposite side, next to the faucet. He reached over and turned it off, stopping the flow. The water was already approaching the rim, and he didn’t want any overspill. Eclipse stared at him for a few seconds, before rolling his eyes again. He grabbed the little sponge from the edge of the tub, and sat up. He smirked, lifting his other hand and crooking a finger at Sun. Sun felt his face heat up. He slowly shuffled around in the water, scooting close enough for Eclipse to reach. Soon they sat facing each other, Eclipse’s legs crossed to make room. Sun sat with his own legs pulled up, practically curled into a ball. He wished he didn’t feel this awkward!

Eclipse grabbed one of Sun’s arms, holding it up and scrubbing at the metal plating. Thankfully the grime was easy enough to get off. The two sat in silence, Eclipse focused on his task, and Sun trying very hard to remain still. He hated feeling nervous. It made him want to move and do something, anything to occupy his mind.

Eclipse made quick work of Sun’s arms, and moved on to his chest. With his hands now free, Sun played a bit with the bubbles. He glanced at Eclipse, noticing once again how his face held a look of concentration, all joking set aside. It was definitely a perspective on his enemy - former enemy? - that Sun had never seen before. And he didn’t know what to think about it.

“Turn around.”

Sun blinked, realizing he’d been caught staring at Eclipse. His face heated up even more.

“W-What?”

“Turn. Around.” Eclipse replied, staring right back.

Hesitantly, Sun did as he was told. He uncurled and turned around. It felt weird to have his back to Eclipse, like some small part of his mind was still convinced that the other was just waiting to strike. Waiting for him to lower his guard. And being drowned in a bathtub was not the way Sun wanted to die.

A hand clasped his shoulder, and Sun flinched. But Eclipse only pulled him closer. His legs slid out on either side of Sun, stretching back out. Sun kept his knees drawn up, internally fighting to not glance over his shoulder. Eclipse kept one hand on his shoulder, the other cleaning his back. It felt nice, and Sun realized that he was actually pretty sleepy. He hadn’t powered down to rest since he’d gotten there, too afraid to do more than lightly doze.

As he was washed, Sun found himself relaxing more and more, slowly leaning back into Eclipse’s hold. His mind floated a bit as he felt two arms envelop him, fingers dancing along his torso. He saw Eclipse from the corner of his eye, catching a growing smirk. So he wasn’t surprised when the hands drifted lower. He watched Eclipse ‘walk’ his fingers down Sun’s stomach. He groaned quietly, not sure if he wanted to pull away or not. Once again Eclipse seemed to know what he was thinking, and his other hand came up to clasp over Sun’s chest, pressing him against Eclipse.

“Easy there.” he murmured.

Sun shivered a bit, watching the bubbles dance and pop around Eclipse’s fingers as they swirled through the water. He made tiny whirlpools with his hand, just above where Sun’s crotch lay hidden by the foam. The tension from before had returned tenfold, but this time it felt more charged and less oppressive. Eclipse’s fingers dipped under the water-

“Do you require assistance?”

“Jesus fucking Christ!” Eclipse screeched.

Sun joined in the screaming, and they both jumped nearly out of the water, landing back down with a splash. They both turned to look up at Solar Flare, who had somehow managed to walk in and stand over the tub without either of them noticing.

"Do you requir-"

“Fuck off!” Eclipse yelled. “Go back to your spot!”

Solar Flare obeyed without question, turning and leaving the bathroom. Sun felt a bit bad for him, but he also found himself laughing. It rose up out of him before he could stop it. He leaned back against Eclipse.

“You screamed so loud!” Sun giggled.

“Hey, so did you!” Eclipse retorted, laughing as well.

“You almost launched me out of the tub!” Sun replied.

“Well now I’m really gonna launch you.”

“Wha-”

Eclipse’s hand grabbed Sun right on his crotch. Sun squealed and jumped nearly out of the water again, totally unprepared. Eclipse laughed even harder. One hand on Sun’s chest kept him anchored, while the other squeezed Sun before sliding his fingers up and down the sensitive folds. And just like that, the mood had shifted wildly once more. Sun almost couldn’t keep up.

Eclipse’s laughter faded, and they fell again into silence. Sun squirmed as he felt Eclipse’s fingers run over his pussy, just barely making contact. The teasing continued, with Eclipse content to just string him along. Sun whined quietly, his legs bending up a bit, hoping Eclipse got the point.

He did, and Sun felt those fingers finally press in between his folds, finding his clit quickly. Sun twitched as Eclipse rubbed gentle circles around it. Sun quickly grew impatient, pressing back into Eclipse. Eclipse just chuckled, but his fingers then moved away from Sun’s clit and down toward his entrance. They prodded against it, as if asking for permission. Sun answered by grabbing both of Eclipse’s thighs and squeezing. He made the other jolt a bit, and felt a smirk of his own grow at the reaction.

Eclipse dipped his fingers inside of Sun, drawing a gasp from him. It stung a little, but he relaxed himself. Eclipse pressed two fingers inside, with a third joining quickly. He pumped them slowly in and out, and Sun felt heat settling over him. He whimpered, his body caught between wanting to lean back into Eclipse and forward into the hand.

Eclipse picked the pace up, thrusting in deeper. His hand covered over Sun’s pussy, the palm pressing down on his clit with each flex of his fingers. Sun was soon panting and moaning, getting lost in the sensations. His head fell back against Eclipse’s shoulder, his legs spreading as wide as the tub allowed, his hips bucking up in time with the fingers.

“That’s the spirit.” Eclipse said.

Sun could feel the teeth in Eclipse's grin slide over his cheek as he watched the little show he was orchestrating. Sun knew he wasn’t going to last much longer. His stamina was never that good to begin with, but it seemed to have depleted massively during his captivity. Or maybe he was still too pent up. Who knows. Now wasn’t the time to psychoanalyze himself.

He felt the pleasure climb up into a crescendo, his voice rising along with it. His hands squeezed down hard on Eclipse’s thighs. At last the wave crashed over him, and Sun road out his climax. He arched back into Eclipse, who kept him in place with one arm, the other still working him through his orgasm. Sun went limp, breaths falling from him with little noises, legs twitching with the aftershocks. Eclipse held him, slipping his fingers out.

Sun was pressed fully against Eclipse, and even in the water, he could feel the distinct texture of slick coming from the other’s pussy, which was pressed hard against his backside. Eclipse was definitely very turned on by Sun's little performance. Sun felt a stirring in his stomach at that thought.

He pulled away, sitting up onto his knees. He turned to face Eclipse, who looked curious at what his next move would be. It was this. Sun leaned in and kissed him, hands coming up to clasp his face briefly before returning to his thighs. He gripped Eclipse’s thighs, using them to lift him up. Eclipse broke the kiss with a surprised noise, looking down as Sun lifted him. Sun pressed in between his legs, aligning their hips. It was a little unsteady, with the tub’s walls being a bit slippery, but Eclipse quickly grabbed the rim of the tub, keeping them both steady.

Sun captured Eclipse’s mouth in another kiss, his hips grinding into Eclipse’s. He hummed happily into Sun’s mouth, his legs moving up to wrap around Sun. Their pussies rubbed together, making Sun whimper a bit at the overstimulation, but like hell was he going to stop. He’d started it this time, after all. And he couldn’t deny the heat coiling within him, driving him forward.

His hips rutted into Eclipse, getting faster and more forceful. Eclipse moaned, moving his mouth from Sun’s to scrape his teeth over Sun’s neck, spurring him on. He squeezed Eclipse harder, driving into him and pulling gasps from them both. Their bodies rocked together, Eclipse’s back hitting against the tub with the force of the thrusts. They were creating waves, both metaphorically and literally. Sun heard water splash as some of it spilled over the edge.

“Mmm, you’re making quite the mess, Sunny.” Eclipse teased.

Sun groaned, ignoring his words. He knew he’d be cleaning up the bathroom after this. But for now he focused on Eclipse’s clit pulsing against his, getting lost in the rhythm they’d created. Eclipse growled, one of his hands leaving the tub to grab Sun’s ray and pull.

“Harder.” he demanded.

Sun listened, grinding into Eclipse as hard as he was able to. He rolled his hips, feeling elated as Eclipse gasped and moaned. He could feel himself getting close, and hoped that it was the same for Eclipse.

“Harder.” Eclipse insisted, tugging more on Sun’s ray.

Sun wasn’t sure if he was just trying to boss him around for the sake of it, or if he really meant it. Either way, Sun quite literally couldn’t go harder. He was already grinding against Eclipse hard enough that he knew they’d both be sore after. With one last roll of his hips, Sun felt himself cumming. He buried his face into Eclipse’s shoulder as he cried out. One of his hands quickly left Eclipse’s thigh and squirmed in between them to press hard on Eclipse’s clit. This did the trick, and Eclipse joined Sun in bliss. His legs clamped around Sun like a vice, his head falling back as he came.

They both slowly regained their senses, sitting in the tub pressed together. Eclipse wrapped his arms loosely around Sun, and Sun was content to stay leaning into him. In a few minutes, he’d force himself to pull away and make sure he was fully clean. Then he’d get out of the bath and start mopping the floor. But for this moment, he’d just let himself be held, and hold Eclipse in return.

Chapter Text

The supply room door was staring at Sun, and he was staring right back. He leaned against the doorway of the bedroom, looking over at the closed door and feeling annoyance crawl over him.

He’d asked Eclipse if he could clean it like he did the lab, and surprisingly Eclipse had refused. That annoyed Sun too. There wasn’t anything vital in there as far as he was aware. And since when did Sun need approval to clean something? It wasn’t like Eclipse owned this place!

And yet Sun had asked for permission. And he’d been denied. So now he felt like a fool, and he wasn’t sure what to do. He scuffed his feet against the floor, looking down at himself. Eclipse’s pants felt weird on him, despite them being the exact same material as his own. His clothes were currently hanging over the rim of the bathtub, very slowly drying.

Once he’d gotten out of the tub, Eclipse had oh so graciously directed him to where his spares were kept. After teasingly suggesting that Sun just walk around nude, of course. There was no way that was happening!

After finally cleaning up the bathroom, Sun had crawled into bed and fell asleep before he could have time to feel nervous about it. When he woke up a few hours later, he’d found himself plugged in and charging, and Eclipse back at his desk tinkering with tools. Aliens was playing quietly on the television for the 38^th time in a row.

And now here stood Sun, bored and annoyed and wearing Eclipse’s pants. Staring at Eclipse’s back as he worked and trying to think of ways to demand to clean the storage room without sounding like a big baby.

But in the end he didn’t have to, because for once the universe took pity on him. Eclipse suddenly leaned back in his chair and groaned, raising a hand to rub at his eyes.

“Why are we capable of getting headaches…” he mumbled as he stood up.

Sun tried to make it seem like he hadn’t been staring at Eclipse for almost the entire runtime of Aliens. He quickly looked down at his hands, sliding his fingers over bare wrists where his ribbons once were. Eclipse shuffled over to a corner where he sat down, pulled the cord from his back, and plugged himself into an outlet.

“You don’t want the bed?” Sun couldn’t help but ask.

“I hate that thing. I’m fine here.” Eclipse replied.

He then leaned back against the wall and closed his eyes. Sun stayed rooted to his place in the doorway. He wanted to insist that Eclipse get up and take the bed. The floor was certainly uncomfortable. But he held his tongue. He didn’t want to start a fight. They’d avoided fights for this long, and Sun wouldn’t be the one to break that streak.

The silence stretched over long minutes, permeated only by the credits music. Sun watched Eclipse, a bit in awe that he was actually asleep. He’d been starting to believe that Eclipse just never got tired. He glanced at Solar Flare, still in his favorite corner. He was impassive as usual, unblinking eyes gazing ahead. It was kind of unnerving.

Everyone was absolutely still and silent, and it was driving Sun crazy! He had to do something! His eyes landed once more on the closed storage room. He glanced between Eclipse and Solar Flare, and started tip-toeing across the room. He crept toward the door, throwing looks at the others. After what seemed like a small eternity, he reached his destination. He placed his hand on the door knob, very carefully turning it. He slowly opened the door, bracing to hear a creak or something, but the door stayed silent. At last, the room was open to him! Now he just had to remain quiet and begin cleaning and organizing everything. The room itself looked the same as last time he was in there. Tall shelves lined the walls, laden with dozens of cardboard boxes. Sheets of metal could be seen peeking out from under the lowest shelves. A layer of dust coated everything.

Sun began picking up all the scrap, gently placing it all inside the boxes. As he worked, he glanced repeatedly out the room at the others. And he must have done that one too many times, because Solar Flare suddenly spoke up.

“Do you requ-”

“Shh shh shhh!” Sun frantically waved his arms at him.

Solar Flare just stared, mute once more. His expressionless face was impossible to read, but Sun swore he caught a glimpse of something behind those glowing eyes. Maybe it was just his own paranoia making him imagine things.

Sun gave one last glance at Solar Flare before turning back to the room. He walked into the very back, picking up a heavy box and walking slowly back out, careful to avoid the screws and bolts that littered the floor. He went back into the main room and placed the box down onto one of the newly-cleaned tables. Well, he would just have to clean them again once he was done. And maybe the floor as well. Sun felt a flutter of giddiness in his stomach, and wanted to laugh at himself. He was so bored that he was excited over the prospect of having more things to clean.

He moved several more boxes, emptying a shelf and filling up the table. He now just had to clean the shelf, then the boxes, reorganize them, rinse and repeat. He went back in to the farthest shelf, now barren. But wait, it wasn’t. He’d missed one. A shoe box sat squished in between the shelves and the wall. The bigger boxes had hidden it from view. Sun grabbed it and pulled it loose, sending a cloud of dust into the air. He sat it down onto the shelf and opened it. He was caught off guard by what he found within.

It was…a bunch of colorful paper? Sun was very confused. It looked like attempts at various paper crafts. There were mangled origami shapes, as well as some that looked like kirigami. They were all mostly made from colored paper, but Sun saw a few pieces further down that looked distinctly like they’d been colored with markers. Sun wondered where these supplies had come from. He hadn’t seen so much as a single marker or pair of scissors since he’d been here. It made him feel a little frustrated. He would have loved to know these were here! He would have loved to have an activity to do that wasn’t obsessively cleaning. And he loved drawing and coloring! It was one of his favorite activities to do with kids at the daycare.

Sun went to dig deeper into the box, but he paused. He felt a sudden urge to look toward the doorway. When he did, he saw Eclipse standing there looking at him. Sun gave a surprised eep! and jumped. They stared at each other for a moment. Eclipse’s face wasn’t quite angry, nor quite panicked, but something muddled and in between. Sun didn’t get a chance to study his expression for long, before Eclipse strode in and slapped the lid back over the box, trapping Sun’s hand inside.

“Hey!” Sun squawked, glaring at him and pulling his hand free.

“What exactly are you doing?” Eclipse glared back. “Because it looks like you’re doing what I told you not to-”

“I don’t need your permission to clean things!” Sun exclaimed.

And just to be petty, he threw open the box once more. Surprisingly, Eclipse didn’t stop him, and Sun found his attention drawn once more to its contents.

“What are these?” Sun asked.

“I told you,” Eclipse sighed. “It’s boring as fuck here.”

“So…you did some arts ‘n crafts?”

Eclipse’s glare reignited.

“I don’t exactly have a lot of options for things to do!”

He reached into the box and pulled out some of the paper, and then began shredding it.

“No, wait! Don’t!” Sun grabbed Eclipse’s hands to stop him. “Don’t destroy it!”

“Why not? It’s just trash.” Eclipse said.

Up close, Sun could better see behind Eclipse’s annoyance. He looked…stressed? Or maybe worried? Sun realized that he must have hidden the box for a reason. Maybe he hated that he couldn’t do any of the crafts correctly? And so he just gave up and hid the whole box away? It was all Sun could guess, and he certainly wasn’t going to ask.

“I like them.” Sun smiled at him reassuringly.

He picked up a few pieces to look at.

“Y’know, I actually know how to do a lot of these.” Sun offered quietly. “I could teach you?”

A moment passed between them, tense and silent. Sun resisted the urge to fidget nervously. Eclipse stared down at the paper shreds in his hands, lost in thought. Eventually, he just huffed and rolled his eyes.

“Fine.” he said. “It beats working on that stupid thing.”

He tilted his head toward his desk, where the mess of metal and wires sat like always. Sun didn’t question it, too overcome with glee that his idea hadn’t been dismissed. He felt like he finally had something to offer besides cleaning and whining about how bored he was. He couldn’t contain his happy squeal as he grabbed the box and rushed over to a table. He just dumped the whole box out across it. To his surprise, a small stack of unused colored paper flopped out from the bottom. Sun pick it up and set it aside, wanting to get a better look at Eclipse’s previous work. However, Eclipse clearly felt otherwise. He grumbled under his breath and grabbed handfuls, throwing them back into the box.

“Wait, I wanna see!” Sun insisted.

“What for? I told you, it’s trash.”

“I…I don’t know. I guess I just never saw you as the artsy type?” Sun shrugged. “I mean, you’re usually all into the sciencey stuff, and it’s just…”

It’s just that Sun hadn’t thought Eclipse capable of actually wanting to do something so…childish? Silly? Fun? Something so Sun-like? He really never expected them to have anything in common, even something as small as this. And he definitely never expected to be able to actually teach Eclipse something.

They were only dumb little pieces of paper, but somehow they felt like much more to Sun. It felt like a bridge, fragile but growing, between them. It made Sun feel a little foolish, and he waited for Eclipse to scoff and call him stupid for caring this much about paper. For thinking something so insignificant could ever signify a connection between them.

But Eclipse just stood beside Sun. He reached into the box and plucked out something, pausing for a moment before setting it in front of Sun.

“Here.” he said. “Show me how to make this damn thing. It drove me crazy.”

Sun inspected the crumbled ball. As he carefully unfolded it, he recognized it as a common origami game that he would teach kids at the daycare. They would typically use it to tell each other their fortunes, or simply what kind of animal they were. It made Sun’s heart ache. He missed it all so much. His home, his daycare, his family.

He shoved the thoughts away and focused on the present moment. He turned to Eclipse and gave him a bright smile. He picked up one of the clean sheets of paper, beginning his instructions on how to make the origami game properly. Eclipse actually listened and followed Sun’s instructions as he talked him through it. Together, they assembled a properly-made game. Eclipse slotted his fingers into the little holes, folding the sides back and forth, a smile growing on his face. Sun beamed at him.

“So, what you do now is pick numbers or colors, and put those on the first section-”

“Yeah yeah yeah, I know how to do the rest.” Eclipse said, clearly distracted with his new toy.

Sun just laughed quietly, watching Eclipse walk over to his desk. He pushed his project to the side, reaching into a drawer and pulling out a handful of markers. Sun balked.

“Wh- you had those this whole time!” he said.

Eclipse just glanced up at him, still distracted. “Yeah?”

Sun huffed and stuttered, before just sighing. He was in too good a mood right now to ruin it by complaining. He’d just have to steal them later when he got bored again. For now, he went back to cleaning. He couldn’t just leave a stack of dusty boxes sitting out, after all. As he worked, he looked over at Eclipse from time to time, very amused by how obvious it was that Eclipse was actually having fun. He wondered what kind of game he was creating, but he was sure that Eclipse would share it with him once he was done. After all, there wasn’t exactly anyone else to play with.

Chapter Text

The air in the bunker was relaxed and quiet. Eclipse’s desk was empty of its usual occupant. Solar Flare stood statuesque in his corner, staring ahead in silence. If he threw a glance or two toward the bedroom, no one noticed.

Inside, Eclipse and Sun sat on the bed and watched a movie. Sun sat at the head of the bed, an elbow propped up on the metal headboard, his cheek leaning against his hand. His thoughts wandered as his attention waned. He’d already watched this movie so many times he could say each line word-for-word. Eclipse was sat in the middle of the bed, leaning back against the wall, messing with his little origami game. He’d spent nearly an hour carefully filling in each tab and coloring it. He’d refused to let Sun see what he was writing in it, leaning over his new project and glaring up at him whenever he tried to get a peek. Sun was caught between amusement and annoyance over it.

“Hey,” Sun said to break the silence. “Which kid do you think I’d be?”

Eclipse made a questioning noise, clearly pulled from his own thoughts. Sun gestured up at the movie.

“Y’know, if we were the characters.” Sun elaborated. “Which one would I be?”

“Oh that’s easy.” Eclipse answered. “You’re the pansy little nerd.”

Sun rolled his eyes. He should’ve seen that coming.

“Well which one would you be?” he asked.

“Hmm.” Eclipse considered for a moment. “I’m the weird girl.”

“Really?” Sun turned and looked at Eclipse.

“Yeah.” Eclipse shrugged. “Why?”

“Nothing, I just thought you might relate more to Bender.”

“That little shit? I am not that obnoxious.” Eclipse scoffed.

Sun just looked at him, a smile growing.

“Shut up.” Eclipse said.

He scooted forward to sit beside Sun, letting his legs fall over the edge of the bed. He held up the origami game, giving it a few shuffles with his fingers.

“Well funnyboy, let’s play a little game.” he said.

Sun nodded, sitting up straight. He’d been curious over what Eclipse had written, and now he could get answers.

“Alright, pick a color.”

Eclipse held out the game toward Sun, letting him see the four brightly colored sections that made up the outside layer. Sun looked at them, pondering for a moment.

“Pink.” he decided with a smile.

“Of course.” Eclipse said. “Maybe you’d be Claire instead of the nerd.”

He shuffled the game four times, one for each letter of the color. When he was done, he held out the opened game toward Sun again. Sun looked inside, seeing four different numbers.

“Six.” he said.

Eclipse lifted the tab, reading off the single word written underneath.

“Dick.” he smirked.

“What?” Sun balked.

“You heard me.” Eclipse said, shuffling the game six times. He held it out once more to Sun.

Sun reluctantly looked at the number options he had now, glancing up at Eclipse.

“Four.” he said slowly.

Eclipse gleefully lifted the tab, peering down at the new word.

“Mouth.” he read. “Well, looks like your mouth’s getting fucked today, Sunny. Be a doll and get my strap.”

“What! No!” Sun shouted in bewilderment.

“Hey, you picked the numbers.” Eclipse grinned at him.

“That doesn’t mean I have to do what it says!” Sun argued.

“Playing this game is signing a verbal contract. You should know that.” Eclipse stated, giving a mockingly haughty look Sun’s way.

“It’s not happening.” Sun deadpanned.

“Pfft, fine.” Eclipse said. “Be a baby. Here, now I’ll play.”

He handed the game off to Sun, who sighed and placed his fingers into the little holes. He held it out to Eclipse, who pretended to think hard over which of the four colors to choose, staring down at them intently.

“Red.” He eventually said, but only after making Sun sigh again in impatience.

Sun shuffled three times, letting Eclipse see the numbers inside.

“Two.” Eclipse said. “Now lift the tab and look at the word before you shuffle.”

Sun nodded, lifting the tab up.

“Hand.” he read, before lowering the tab and shuffling twice. He showed the numbers to Eclipse again.

“Four.” Eclipse smiled.

“Mouth.” Sun didn’t need to lift the tab, remembering what that number meant.

“Sounds easy enough.” Eclipse said.

Before Sun could reply, Eclipse reached out and captured one of his hands, bringing it up to his face and placing a kiss against the back of it. He then plucked the game away from Sun while Sun sat there frozen, staring down at his hand. The surprisingly tender display of affection caught him off guard, especially when Eclipse fell back into his “annoy Sun” mode.

“Earth to Sunshine, we're all waiting on you. Pick a color.” he said, pushing the game into Sun’s face.

“Green.” Sun said.

Eclipse shuffled, and showed the numbers to Sun.

“Five.” Sun said after a glance. He wasn’t quite sure how he felt about this little game Eclipse had concocted.

“Foot.” Eclipse said.

Sun quirked his head at that, but let Eclipse shuffle before picking a second number.

“One.”

Eclipse couldn’t keep the grin off his face as he lifted the tab and then showed Sun the word beneath. ‘Pussy’ was scrawled across the small section of paper. Eclipse laughed at Sun’s expression.

“Well, you heard the game. You can’t dodge its judgement twice in a row. Now bring me those toes.”

“No!” Sun said, fighting to keep his own grin from growing.

“You’ve got some terrible sportsmanship, Sunny. I did what the game told me to do.”

“You just had to kiss my hand!” Sun pointed at him. “And you already know what the numbers mean, so you’re cheating!”

“Look, we’ll sit down and talk this over once you bring me your toes.”

“Fuck off.” Sun laughed.

He leaned to the side and lifted a leg. He placed his foot against Eclipse’s chest and pushed him away. Eclipse flopped back across the bed. Both of them laughed for a bit before it faded back into quiet. Sun now sat half-turned inward on the bed, one leg stretched out beside Eclipse. Sun looked up at the movie, watching the chase scene for a minute, before he found his gaze drawn back over toward Eclipse.

Eclipse lay sprawled across the bed, not bothering to get up. His limbs were splayed, body relaxed. His head was turned toward the tv, a small smile still on his face. Something about it all made Sun want to keep staring. The minutes passed by, with only the sound of Bender loudly singing on screen.

When Eclipse’s eyes caught his own, Sun nearly jumped. He froze, his face warming a bit. He didn’t know if he should just look at the movie and pretend he hadn’t been caught staring. Eclipse turned his face to look back at him, his eyes drifting down to Sun’s leg. He reached out and pulled it closer. His fingers moved over Sun’s ankle, sending little shivers up Sun’s leg. He then started playing with the ruffles at the bottom of his pants.

“You know,” Eclipse said. “You look really terrible in my colors.”

Sun made an offended noise.

“My clothes are still drying!” he said.

“Still, looks ugly on you.” Eclipse clicked his tongue, shaking his head. “If only you’d taken my advice and stayed nude, you’d look way better.”

“No I would no-” Sun argued, but the words caught in his throat.

Eclipse’s hand slid up Sun’s leg, squeezing him through the material. He quickly sat up, following his hands all the way up Sun’s leg. Before Sun’s mind processed what was happening, Eclipse was grabbing both of his legs and pulling him flat onto his back. He moved up Sun’s body and lay on top of him, capturing his mouth in a kiss.

Sun’s mind swirled at the sudden mood change, but he returned the kiss. He felt Eclipse’s hands pushing his pants down his waist, and helped by kicking them off. His own hands played with the waistline of Eclipse’s pants.

“See?” Eclipse said in between kisses. “Already a vast improvement.”

“Shut up.” Sun said.

“Make me.” Eclipse replied.

And well, Sun could be stubborn too. He grabbed Eclipse by the shoulders, and rolled them both over in the bed. Now he was on top, and he captured Eclipse’s mouth again in a heated kiss. Eclipse moaned happily. They worked together to pull his pants off, and now both lay naked in the bed. They made out for a few minutes before Eclipse grew impatient, grinding his hips up into Sun’s.

“Do something already, or I will.” he complained.

Sun gave him an annoyed look before moving his kisses further down over Eclipse’s chest. The group of misfits on screen sparked a blunt together while in the bedroom Sun moved down Eclipse’s body, leaving kisses here and there. Eclipse went still and silent as Sun moved down, which only encouraged him to continue. He was still a little annoyed with Eclipse’s recent antics, and a speechless Eclipse was a good Eclipse as far as Sun was concerned.

Sun paused when he reached Eclipse’s centre. He’d never done this before, and wasn’t really sure what had come over him to try it out, but he certainly wasn’t backing out now. A wet sheen could already be seen spreading across Eclipse’s pussy, and Sun looked for a moment before tentatively leaning in and pressing kisses over his folds. Eclipse gasped, spreading his legs further apart. Sun closed his eyes and just let his desires take the wheel, not letting his mind overthink everything. His tongue moved from between his lips and licked up some of the slick. It tasted sweet but also sharp, and settled on his tongue with a subtle heat. Sun immediately knew he wanted more of it. He dipped his tongue in over Eclipse’s opening, where more slick was dripping out. He slid his tongue up the entire slit, stopping just before he touched the sensitive nub at the top. He continued like this for several seconds, basking in the red-hot taste burning into his tongue. A hand moved in and gripped his ray, tugging on it.

“Stop teasing, you dick.” Eclipse said, voice faint and rough.

Sun glanced up, annoyed at the yanking, but obliged. He took the flat of his tongue and rolled it over Eclipse’s clit.

“Shit!” Eclipse gasped, squeezing down on Sun’s captured ray.

Sun thought back to the times he’d use his fingers on himself, and tried to mimic the motions with his tongue. He used the tip to swirl circles around the clit. His own slick dribbled down his thighs. He’d thought from time to time in the past what it would be like to go down on someone, but he never imagined it would be this exciting.

“Harder.” Eclipse demanded, pulling on Sun’s ray.

Sun wanted to stop and glare at him, but he just obliged once more. He stopped with the circles and moved to just lapping at Eclipse, enjoying the shocks he could feel go through Eclipse’s legs each time.

“Fuck, harder.” Eclipse yanked on his ray again.

Sun growled in annoyance. He quickly grabbed Eclipse by the wrist, pulling his hand from his ray and pinning it down on the mattress. He closed his mouth over the clit and started sucking hard.

Curses tumbled out of Eclipse’s mouth in a never-ending stream. He dug the heels of his feet into the bed, grinding his hips up into Sun’s face. Sun let him, focusing on feeling Eclipse’s pussy start to pulse and flutter against him. Eclipse came with a loud, ragged cry. Sun looked up to see his head craning back, entire body locking up. Sun pulled away after a few more licks.

Eclipse lay limp on the bed, catching his breath, hazy eyes staring up at the ceiling. Sun sat up and wiped his chin, feeling a bit awkward. He wasn’t sure what had possessed him, but he’d be lying if he said he regretted it. Still, it was hard not to feel weird now that it was over. Not to mention his own heat pooling between his legs. Still laying back, Eclipse lifted a hand and crooked a single finger at Sun, beckoning him.

“Come ‘ere.” he said.

Sun blinked, but obeyed. He went onto hands and knees and crawled up the bed. As soon as he was hovering over Eclipse, he was grabbed and rolled. Now he was the one pinned beneath Eclipse, who dove in and attacked Sun’s mouth with his own, all teeth and tongue. The sweet-hot taste reignited, and Sun eagerly returned the kiss, chasing more of that flavor. He felt Eclipse’s legs slide in between his and push them apart. A hand trailed down, finding the wet slick that coated everything below Sun’s hips.

“Mmm, someone got really turned on.” Eclipse smirked.

And Sun couldn’t really argue when the evidence was right there, so he just whined into Eclipse’s mouth. Eclipse claimed his mouth for a little longer, before he slid down. He didn’t bother trailing kisses, he just went straight for Sun’s centre. He grabbed his wet thighs and pushed them wider. Sun’s head fell back against the pillow as he felt Eclipse’s warm tongue slide through his pussy. He copied Sun’s earlier technique of swirling his tongue around his clit. Sun whined even more, rolling his hips up. Eclipse forced them back down, using his hands to keep him in place. Sun was so worked up that he knew he wouldn’t last long at all. Just a few laps from Eclipse’s tongue and he felt very close to the edge.

Eclipse seemed to sense this too, because he soon moved back up Sun’s body. He brought his mouth back to Sun’s, swallowing his noises of frustration. Sun tasted himself on Eclipse’s tongue as it dipped into his mouth. Unlike Eclipse, Sun's flavor was light and warm like honey.

Eclipse quickly grew just as impatient as Sun was, because he broke the kiss to dive back down. His tongue pressed against Sun’s clit, rubbing it in heavy, firm licks. Sun’s voice rose higher and higher as cries fell from him with every gasping breath. It took only a few strokes before he felt himself coming undone. He grabbed fistfuls of the blanket beneath him, riding out an amazing orgasm.

He lay panting, his body working overtime to cool itself down. He felt the bed shift as Eclipse moved to lay down beside him. Without thinking, Sun turned onto his side, reaching out an arm and looping it around Eclipse. He snuggled in, sleep already claiming him. His face nuzzled up into Eclipse’s neck. Just before he drifted off, he felt an arm wrap around his back, pulling him in closer.

Chapter Text

Sun woke up slowly. He felt so comfy he wanted to slip back into sleep. He snuggled into the warm body beneath his, and heard a quiet laugh. He then became aware of a hand playing with his rays. Sun peeked open his eyes and looked up. Eclipse’s face was very close to his. Sun blinked. He then realized he was in bed, laying almost entirely on top of Eclipse.

“Awake at last?” Eclipse gazed down at him.

“Um, yeah.” Sun replied.

“Does that mean you’re done imprisoning me?”

Sun shot up, wincing at the slight crick in his neck. He rubbed it, watching Eclipse as he sat up as well.

“Sorry.” Sun mumbled.

Eclipse just shrugged. “I don’t mind being a pillow for a few hours.”

He slid past Sun to the end of the bed, picking up both pairs of pants. He used one to wipe the dried cum from himself before pulling on the second pair.

“Hey!” Sun protested.

Eclipse just shot him a smirk before throwing the soiled clothing onto the bed and sauntering out of the room. Sun glared at his retreating back before sighing in defeat and using the pants to clean himself as well.

He got up and went into the bathroom, kneeling before the tub and quickly scrubbing the pants clean. He threw them over the rim to dry before grabbing his own actual clothes. They were still a little damp, but it was either this or nothing, and Sun wasn’t giving Eclipse the satisfaction. He exited the bathroom, seeing Eclipse across the room sitting at his desk. He immediately turned to look at Sun, his eyes drifting down Sun’s body. He gave the pants a disgusted look, lifting a hand and giving Sun a thumbs down gesture.

“Boooo.” he said.

Sun really wanted to return a gesture of his own, but just ignored him. He walked over to the table that still held their meager art supplies. He took out the paper, mind wandering over what he wanted to do. He wanted to color or draw, but he had to admit it was a little lonely to do it alone. He looked over at Eclipse, who was scribbling in his notebook. He didn’t want to interrupt his work, and he was still annoyed with him. His eyes then landed on Solar Flare. Now that he was looking at him, Sun noticed that he was standing in a slightly different position than the last time he’d seen him. He always seemed like a statue, so it was a little startling. Did he shift around, perhaps? Did he wander around while the other two were asleep? That thought was a bit disconcerting.

Either way, Sun approached him. He tried not to back away when those intense, unblinking eyes snapped to him. Why did he have to be so tall and imposing, and his face incapable of expression?

“Hey there, uh, Solar Flare.” Sun smiled up at him. “Do you maybe wanna draw with me?”

He just stared down at Sun.

“Go over to the table, Solar Flare.” Eclipse said without looking up.

He obediently stepped past Sun and went to the table. Sun glanced between him and Eclipse before deciding to just roll with it. He walked over to Eclipse’s desk, opening the drawer that held the markers.

“Rude.” Eclipse said. “No magic word?”

Sun ignored him yet again, grabbing all of the markers before returning to the table. He then slid a piece of paper in front of Solar Flare and held up a blue marker. Solar Flare took it carefully between his fingers and stared down at it. Sun couldn’t help but be reminded of the occasional overly-shy child in his daycare. He stepped over to stand next to him, his own paper and marker in tow. He uncapped his red marker and smiled at Solar Flare.

“Do you want to copy what I draw?” he suggested. It always helped nervous kids who didn’t know what to do.

Solar Flare didn’t answer him, or even nod, but he watched every line Sun made and copied it perfectly. After only a few minutes they both had matching little cats smiling up at them.

“See? You made a kitty!” Sun said cheerfully. “Now you can color her anything you want!”

He heard a noise from Eclipse, either a laugh or a scoff. But when Sun looked at him, he was still hunched over his notes. The sound of a marker uncapping drew him back to Solar Flare. He now had an orange marker. Sun set down the red and grabbed a pink one for himself. He began to color in his cat, humming a quiet tune to himself. He missed drawing and coloring so much. It always made him feel happy and calm. After a few minutes he glanced over at Solar Flare’s paper, and did a double-take. He had been carefully filling in a striped pattern across the cat, layering over certain parts to create a darker orange.

“Wow, you’re really good!” Sun remarked.

“He’s got a keen eye for detail.” Eclipse said. “I designed him to be that way.”

Sun supposed that made sense. He wasn’t exactly sure why Solar Flare had been created, but he’d always assumed he was meant to be Eclipse’s assistant. Sun looked down at his own work. It wasn’t as impressive as Solar Flare’s, but he was still fond of his little red and pink kitty. He colored in the eyes with a pale green. He then held it up, wishing that he had some tape to pin it on a wall. This place could use some decoration. For now, he’d just store it safely in the box.

“You know, you could have joined in on the fun, Eclipse.” Sun said. “Instead of boring research or whatever it is you’re doing.”

“Oh I’m drawing, too.” Eclipse said casually.

His words made Sun pause. He walked over to the desk. Sure enough, there was a little drawing scribbled into the bottom of the page. Sun peered closer to see what it was, and…

It was a crude drawing of him and Eclipse. He was on his hands and knees, with Eclipse mounting him from behind. The little Eclipse had a cartoonishly evil smile on his face.

Sun ripped the paper from the notebook and balled it up.

“Hey, my masterpiece.” Eclipse said, clearly trying to hold back a grin. “Don’t I get a gold star?”

“You get a time out.”

“Oh really, is that all?” Eclipse’s smile now matched the cartoon version. “You don’t have one of those long yard rulers, teacher?”

Sun threw the paper ball at him. It bounced off his face. Sun then turned around and returned to Solar Flare’s side, where he cheerfully showed him how to make a paper crane. Eclipse retrieved his paper and laughed, but Sun steadfastly ignored him and focused on enjoying his time with Solar Flare. Soon there were two perfect little cranes sitting together on the table. Sun carefully picked them up and set them together on top of the box, scooting them close so it looked like they were nuzzling. He admired them until Eclipse stood up and headed for the bathroom.

“Solar Flare, follow me.” he said.

It struck Sun still for a moment, and he watched the two retreat into the other room and close the door. It was exactly like how they’d disappear before Sun found out what was happening. Sun stared at the door. Should he go in? Was he not welcome? Eclipse had been all over him the last few days, so it felt strange to suddenly go back to being ignored. Sun went back into the bedroom, looking around for something to do. He ended up making the bed, tucking in the sheets, straightening the blankets, and fluffing the pillows. The rest of the room was spotless, as always. Mostly because there wasn’t anything in there aside from the bed, the tv, and the dresser that the tv sat on.

Sun groaned in frustration, trying to think of something else to do. Looking at the blankets, he remembered that there were plenty of extras stored away. He could make a pillow fort! He always loved making pillow forts! All he had to do was go get the blankets that…were kept in the bathroom. Damn.

Of course they were kept in the bathroom. Where Eclipse and Solar Flare currently were. Where Sun hadn’t been invited. Sun huffed at his own thoughts. He didn’t have to act so childish about this! He was an adult! And he was perfectly capable of going in there, getting what he needed, and making his pillow fort!

Full of determination, Sun marched toward the bathroom. He pulled open the door. He made it only one step in before the sight halted him.

“Finally!” Eclipse said. “I was seconds away from ordering Solar Flare to go get you.”

Sun blinked at him. He felt dizzy from the strong rush of deja vu. Eclipse and Solar Flare were positioned exactly the same way they had been on that first fateful encounter. And he was damned sure Eclipse was doing it on purpose. He was once again messing with Sun.

“I’ll admit,” Eclipse continued, reclined back. “I thought you’d run in here a lot sooner.”

“You-” Sun started, before stopping himself.

Even he knew how dumb it would sound to say that Eclipse hadn’t invited him along. Especially now that he knew Eclipse was just trying to get a rise out of him, and it had worked. His face always was an open book, however, and Eclipse laughed at his expression.

“Aww, poor Sunny.” he grinned. “Why don’t you come over here and let me make it up to you?”

If Sun were a stronger person, he’d walk past the table, gather his blankets and walk back out. But he was weak. His legs led him to the table. Eclipse’s grin widened, and he beckoned him closer with a curled finger. Sun sighed, but obliged, climbing onto the metal surface. Eclipse reached out and plucked at Sun’s pants.

“Off.” Eclipse ordered.

Sun wanted to refuse just to be petty, but then he’d be the idiot sitting there with his pants still on, so he just pulled them off and let them float to the floor next to Eclipse’s. His arm was grabbed and he was pulled closer and closer, while Eclipse addressed Solar Flare.

“Go put on the medium one.”

Solar Flare stepped away to follow the order, and Eclipse pulled Sun down into a brief kiss. He then grabbed Sun’s hips and man-handled him into sitting on his torso. Sun was confused, but Eclipse just returned his questioning gaze with a cat-like grin. He insistently pulled Sun further up onto his chest while Solar Flare stepped back into position.

“Wha-ugh, can you stop and just tell me what you’re doing?” Sun asked.

“Serving my time out.” Eclipse replied.

Sun rolled his eyes, but Eclipse gave him one last hard pull, and Sun pitched forward with a yelp. His hands landed on the table, keeping him from face-planting. His knees were forced wide apart to keep from kneeling on Eclipse’s rays. Sun felt his face heat up when he realized his crotch was hovering directly over Eclipse’s head. He shifted, intending to move away, but Eclipse grabbed him by the thighs and yanked him down. Sun squeaked as he collided with Eclipse’s face, and before Sun could utter a word he felt a warm tongue roll up his slit. Sun gasped while Eclipse groaned as Solar Flare pushed into him. Sun tried to lift himself off of Eclipse, afraid he’d crush his head or something, but Eclipse had his thighs in a vice grip.

He was ensnared, on his hands and knees, forced to sit on Eclipse’s face. Solar Flare began thrusting slowly, making Eclipse moan directly into Sun’s pussy, which in turn pulled whimpers from Sun. When Eclipse started licking his clit, his body trembled and collapsed forward until all his weight was on his elbows.

Eclipse ate Sun out like he was starving, and Sun’s entire body buzzed as cries fell from his mouth with every breath. He started grinding down onto Eclipse, who returned the enthusiasm by sucking Sun’s clit into his mouth.

At this point, Solar Flare's pace had picked up in speed and force. Only his hands anchoring Eclipse’s hips down kept everyone in place. Eclipse’s body rocked from the hard thrusts, moaning and sucking on Sun and driving him quickly over the edge and into the blissful deep end. Sun wailed and gasped, laying limp across the table as his whole body twitched with aftershocks.

Sun’s breaths slowed as he came back down, only to realize he was still held fast by Eclipse, who was in turn still getting plowed. He felt Eclipse’s tongue push into him, exploring his inner walls.

“Ahh, too-too much!” Sun shakily sat back up.

He tried to pull away, but Eclipse refused to let go. Sun reached down and grabbed his head. Eclipse opened his eyes for a moment, and they blazed up at Sun in molten hot arousal. And then Eclipse’s entire body jolted and a strangled moan left him. Sun heard a low buzzing, and glanced over his shoulder to see Solar Flare’s talented fingers rubbing Eclipse’s clit in time with his thrusts. Eclipse licked Sun until he pulled away with a breathless string of curses. Sun felt him shaking underneath him as he reached his own climax.

“Enough.” he rasped out after several seconds.

Sun heard Solar Flare halt his movements and step back. He expected Eclipse to release him, but the hold on his thighs just tightened. He was yanked back down, and Sun was reminded of just how close he was to cumming for the second time. Eclipse’s fingers dug into his thighs so hard it was starting to hurt, and Sun would have complained at the rough treatment if he could speak. He still hadn’t recovered from his last orgasm, and Eclipse was dragging him back to the edge so fast it was overwhelming.

He arched up with a loud cry as bliss enveloped him once more. Eclipse suddenly made a choking noise beneath him, and finally released his iron grip. Sun quickly rolled off of him and sat down, feeling wobbly. Eclipse also sat up, coughing and wiping his face. Sun’s eyes widened at the copious amount of slick that smothered Eclipse’s mouth and dripped down his chin. Had he done that?

“I…wasn’t expecting that.” Eclipse said, looking just as surprised as Sun felt.

But he quickly regained his usual demeanor, and a smirk stretched across his wet face.

“Well well well, looks like little Sunny has his own secret party trick.” he laughed. “A little warning would have been nice, though.”

“I didn’t know!” Sun shrieked, his face burning red.

Eclipse moved onto his knees, still grinning at Sun. His hand shot out and grabbed Sun by the neck, and he yanked him forward into a kiss, cutting off Sun’s surprised noise. He thought about pulling away to glare at Eclipse over all this rough behavior, but then he felt Eclipse’s free hand touch his stomach and slide down. Eclipse continued to kiss him as his fingers rubbed Sun’s drenched pussy, teasing the opening before dipping fingers in. Eclipse pulled away just enough to speak low against Sun’s face.

“You ready for more?”

Sun couldn’t reply with words, so he responded by grabbing Eclipse’s shoulders, grinding down onto his fingers and moving in for another kiss. He could feel Eclipse’s smile against his mouth as he pumped his fingers into Sun. He then pulled away, and turned to look at Solar Flare. Sun was surprised to see him standing nearby, watching them, with the small-sized dildo already slotted into place.

“You’ve read my mind.” Eclipse said.

He then pulled Sun back into a kiss, removing his fingers and pushing him to lie flat on the table. Sun lay there with Eclipse hovering over him, getting lost in the kisses, before hands grabbed his legs and pulled. He squeaked as he was dragged from underneath Eclipse and to the edge of the table. Solar Flare looked down at him, gripping his knees and spreading them apart.

“Someone is impatient.” Eclipse laughed, moving to sit next to Sun.

Together, Eclipse and Solar Flare turned Sun onto his stomach and pushed him further to the edge, letting his legs fall over. Sun went along with it all, though his blush returned at being bent over the table.

“Remember to be gentle.” he heard Eclipse say. “Our little Sunshine is delicate.”

Sun felt a hand pull his hips up slightly, and a large finger prodded his entrance. Eclipse’s hands rubbed up and down his back. Sun shivered and whimpered as he was stretched open. It didn’t take long before the fingers left and a silicone tip pressed in. He felt it slide in, gasping when Solar Flare pushed all the way inside in one smooth motion. He heard Eclipse’s quiet laugh before he dropped a quick kiss onto his back.

Solar Flare held Sun’s hips, pressing him into the table as he pumped slowly in and out. Sun let his face lay flat on the table, slightly muffling his moans. His fingers scratched at the smooth surface, craving something to grab onto. Eclipse soon gave him that something. He heard him move from his side, crawling around to sit in front of Sun. Sun looked up to see spread thighs and a wet pussy dribbling onto the table. Sun immediately reached out and grabbed Eclipse, pulling him in. His eager tongue slipped out and licked all the way up. Eclipse gasped, spreading his legs further.

Solar Flare had found a steady rhythm now, lifting Sun’s hips a bit with each thrust. Sun whimpered onto Eclipse’s clit as he sucked, feeling himself already getting close again. He felt a hand press against the back of his head, pushing his face more into Eclipse. Solar Flare’s fingers gripping him from behind began to vibrate, sending out strong pulses. They dug into the junction between his thighs and his centre, not reaching his clit but still sending thrills up and down his body. The hands also lifted his hips up higher, and Solar Flare was now able to rub his dick across Sun’s sweet spot with every thrust. Sun squealed and wailed into Eclipse’s crotch as he came after only a few more thrusts, his body trembling all over. Solar Flare lowered him back down but continued to pump into him slowly and gently.

Sun resumed licking and sucking with fervor, enjoying the faint burn that settled on his tongue. He could tell that Eclipse was close by the nonstop curse words falling from his mouth. He let go of one of Eclipse’s thighs and slipped two fingers into him, rubbing along Eclipse’s walls as he felt him shudder beneath his hold. The hand on the back of his head pushed harder as Eclipse came, legs twitching on either side of Sun’s head.

Eclipse pulled back, leaving Sun to lay on the table. Solar Flare also stopped and pulled out of Sun, hands rubbing his hips for a moment before leaving. Sun’s feet touched down to the floor as he regained his senses. A partly-soiled rag slapped down in front of his face, and Sun scowled at Eclipse. He grabbed the rag, cringing at the wet side before he used it to wipe himself off. He then threw it into the tiny basket in the corner. There was a steadily growing pile of rags inside. Sun needed to remind himself to clean them soon.

By the time he pulled on his pants, Eclipse was back at his desk and Solar Flare was in his usual spot. Sun thought about dragging one or both of them into more crafts, but decided to follow through on his idea of making a pillow fort. Something about having a cozy little place to huddle in always helped Sun relax. He could lay the ‘roof’ over the tv and pretend he was having a movie night with his fam-

Sun scrubbed that thought away fast. He focused on gathering a few blankets and pillows off of the shelves. He then went into the bedroom, admiring the neat and tidy bed for a moment before setting his things aside. He then got to work creating his little sanctuary.

He pulled a long thin sheet over the tv, draping it down toward the bed and keeping it in place with heavy pillows. He wished he had some chairs to work with, but the only one in the entire bunker was Eclipse's desk chair. So in the end his fort looked more like a tent, but that was fine with Sun. He looked through the meager selection of movies before picking the one he’d been avoiding since he got here. He knew it was going to make him cry, and he didn’t want to risk getting mocked. But enclosed within the pillow fort, Sun felt a sense of comfort spread through him. The harsh lights on the ceiling were softened, and Sun sat down in his little nest of pillows and watched the opening credits play. He reached the part where the three animals were being left at the ranch when a head poked in, grinning at him.

“Got room for a king in your castle, princess?” Eclipse said.

He didn’t wait for an answer before letting himself in. He settled down beside Sun, the two nearly squished together in the small space. He then looked up at the movie.

“Huh, what’s this?” he asked.

“Homeward Bound.” Sun replied. “You’ve never seen it?”

“Nope.” Eclipse shrugged. “It looked stupid.”

Sun wanted to be insulted and argue, but he instead let it go with a quiet sigh, and got lost in the movie. It’d been a few years since he last watched it. He usually didn’t put it on for kids at the daycare, since certain scenes could upset them. And maybe upset him as well. Maybe.

For the most part Sun held it together, even when poor little Sassy fell into the river. Even when they got locked up in that pound. But he couldn’t stop a sniffle when Shadow collapsed and couldn’t go on, even when he knew how the story would end. He internally braced himself for Eclipse to notice and sneer at him, but he instead jumped a bit when Eclipse suddenly shouted.

“Now that’s bullshit!” he said, glaring at the television screen. “He’s come through all of that hell and now he stumbles at the finish line? This movie sucks!”

It was so unexpected to see the genuine outrage from Eclipse, over something as silly as a movie, that it made Sun feel better somehow. He smiled at Eclipse, looping an arm through his and leaning against him.

“Just keep watching.” Sun said, not wanting to spoil the ending.

“Why bother?” Eclipse replied. “The only good character just died. The stupid mutt and whiny cat get to survive off the back of Shadow, and he just gets to die alone?”

“Shhh.” Sun put a finger against Eclipse’s mouth, trying not to laugh.

“I’ll bite you.” Eclipse gave him a deadpan expression.

Sun giggled a bit before tuning back to the movie. Thankfully Eclipse did as well, though he grumbled under his breath. Sun waited with growing excitement for the moment when Shadow limped over the horizon and reunited with his family. It did bring tears to Sun’s eyes, as he knew it would, but he found himself feeling more happy than sad. And dare he say Eclipse looked relieved for the smallest second before he frowned at Sun.

“You could have told me.” he said. “Instead of stringing me along and letting me rant like an idiot.”

“Aww but it was funny.” Sun laughed.

Eclipse put his hand on Sun’s face and pushed him away before getting up and changing the movie to something else. Aliens was soon filling the pillow fort with its moody sounds and colors. Eclipse lay on his back, legs stretching out until his feet poked outside of the blankets. He fluffed up a pillow to lay his head on so he could still watch the movie. Sun soon joined him, laying down as well. He wanted to scoot closer, maybe lay his head on Eclipse’s shoulder or chest, but he still felt awkward about sleeping on him earlier. So he just stayed where he was, watching the movie and getting lost in his thoughts. His smile returned when he heard Eclipse muttering some of the lines, and he joined in here and there.

Sun was warm all over, surrounded by soft feelings on all sides. Eclipse lay on top of him, capturing his mouth in slow gentle kisses. Sun moaned quietly. He wanted to reach up and touch Eclipse. He wanted to spread his legs and encourage Eclipse to grind into him. But Eclipse just lay over him like a heavy blanket, only kissing him and nothing else. And Sun couldn’t seem to move. He whimpered and whined as he found himself completely immobile. His frustration grew stronger and stronger. Why wasn’t Eclipse doing anything? Why couldn’t he move? He tried to roll his hips up, and yet felt nothing but cold air-

Sun’s eyes opened. He was laying in his pillow fort. Eclipse was asleep beside him. Not on top of him. Not kissing him and murmuring sweet things to him. Not…

Sun groaned, rubbing his eyes hard. Why did his brain cook up that as a dream? His mind was buzzing and his body was frustrated. He lay there and tried to push it all away and slip back into sleep. The minutes dragged by, second by second, and Sun’s body squirmed. He just couldn’t stay still! One of his hands drifted down and rubbed himself through his pants. Maybe he could…take care of this little problem quickly and go back to sleep?

But Sun quickly found that he just couldn’t keep quiet. His hand slapped over his mouth, but it did little to muffle his whines as his fingers rubbed. He also realized that he should take off his pants, or risk needing to clean them again. Sun stopped and just lay there in frustration. Now he really couldn’t just go back to sleep.

With a sigh, Sun sat up. He crawled out of the pillow fort, throwing glances back at Eclipse. He left his tiny sanctuary and squinted in the harsh light. He definitely wished they could just turn them off, but he never saw a switch anywhere. He walked quickly out of the bedroom, looking around. His eyes landed on the chair, and he bee-lined to it. Sun glanced quickly toward Solar Flare, who was staring off toward a wall. He then slipped off his pants, shivering in the cold air. He breathed in deep, closing his eyes.

In the past, whenever Sun would touch himself, his mind always conjured up vague blurry visions to get him going. It was never anything or anyone specifically. But now, it was anything but vague. His mind was all too eager to create a little fantasy for him to get lost in. It brought up memories of watching Eclipse sit at his desk, focusing on his work. His face would always make this certain expression that Sun couldn’t help but stare at.

Now Sun was included in the scene, sitting in the chair with Eclipse. Sitting on Eclipse’s lap. Eclipse’s intense focus was turned toward him now, instead of his projects. His fingertips ghosted down Sun’s chest and stomach, sending flutters across Sun’s skin. A hand nudged his knees apart, while the other trailed toward his centre, teasing him. Sun shivered and whimpered, so lost in his imaginings that when a third hand touched him, he nearly shrieked. He jolted in the chair, eyes flying open. Solar Flare stood in front of him, leaning in close, a hand on Sun’s shoulder.

“Do you require assistance?”

There were those familiar words, but this time they made Sun pause. Solar Flare hadn’t used his normal loud monotone voice, but instead spoke in a near-whisper. It was almost bewildering. Sun had never heard him speak with any kind of emotion or volume control. His hazy mind couldn’t catch up fast enough before Solar Flare seemed to make his own decision.

His hand joined Sun’s between his legs, and pressed down. Sun squeaked before looking over his shoulder toward the bedroom doorway. As he did, Solar Flare continued. He knelt down in front of Sun, grabbing his legs and pushing them up onto the arms of the chair. He leaned in close, and Sun felt his face heat up as he watched those intensely glowing eyes move down his body. He never expected Solar Flare to take the initiative like this. He hadn’t even thought he was capable of it. And yet here he was, doing things without needing to be ordered or directed. It left Sun feeling a mixture of flustered, nervous, and really turned on.

Solar Flare took Sun’s hand gently and moved it away from his already wet pussy. He then ran his fingers over the folds. Sun whimpered quietly, trying to keep his volume down. He’d die from embarrassment if Eclipse woke up and saw this.

When those large fingers brushed over his clit, Sun tensed up, waiting for the vibrations. But Solar Flare was apparently trying to keep things quiet, too, because he just rubbed circles instead. It still did the trick, and Sun’s hands squeezed down on the arms of the chair. He was very quickly slicked up enough for a finger to push into him. Whimpers and moans left Sun’s mouth beyond his control, despite his attempts to stifle them. It only got more difficult as the first finger was joined by a second. They stretched him open while the other hand worked circles around his clit.

Sun drew in fast breaths, practically squished down into the chair, his legs bent up almost to his chest. He jumped and shrieked when Solar Flare curled his fingers. Both of them stopped and listened. Sun sighed when no Eclipse came bursting into the room. He looked up into Solar Flare’s expressionless face.

“S-Sorry.” he mumbled, his face warming up even more.

Solar Flare just looked at him for a moment, before returning to his previous ministrations, without curling his fingers again. Sun whined, wanting Solar Flare to repeat the action but also knowing that he wouldn’t be able to shut up.

But as the seconds crawled by, Sun felt his frustration mounting yet again. He needed more than what Solar Flare was giving him. He shoved a hand down between them and tried to rub his clit himself, but Solar Flare grabbed his wrist and placed his hand back on the arm rest. Sun wasn’t sure if the coil of heat in his stomach was from agitation or arousal. It was getting difficult to swallow down all the noises that wanted to escape his mouth. And yet he craved more, squirming impatiently at the achingly light touches.

To his relief, the other seemed to understand his frustration. He started rubbing Sun’s clit in firm strokes, no longer teasing him with slow circles. But of course, Sun had to ruin it. He moaned loudly. Too loud. And everything paused once again. Sun groaned, wanting to disappear.

“Sorry. I’m sorry.” he said, breathing fast.

Oh why did he get himself into this situation? He should have just stayed in the pillow fort and forced himself back to sleep.

Fingers were suddenly pressing over the exposed circuits in the back of his head, and Sun looked up at Solar Flare in confusion and slight panic. He felt him somehow enter a command into his code, and when Sun tried to ask what he was doing, he found that his voicebox was muted! His eyes widened, and he stared up into the fiery gaze.

The fact that Solar Flare could actually mute him, could hack into his system and give commands, was terrifying. Sun should feel very unsafe and scared right now.

But all he could feel were Solar Flare’s hands. One resumed rubbing his clit, while the other pumped fingers in and out, flexing them right into Sun’s sweet spot. When Sun arched back against the chair, gasping and crying out, no sound left his lips. Solar Flare worked him over quickly, his well-practiced hands knowing exactly where and how to touch in just the right way to send Sun’s thoughts scattering. Sun saw lights crackle and spark behind his eyes as he came, shaking so hard the chair nearly rattled.

He panted silently, slowly coming down from the intense high. Solar Flare stood up and walked away, leaving Sun’s wobbly legs to flop down toward the floor. He nearly slid out of the chair. He watched through half-lidded eyes as the taller bot quickly returned, a rag in his hands. Sun really, really needed to clean all of those. They were going to run out at this rate.

Solar Flare resumed his kneeling position and gently dabbed at Sun to clean away the evidence of their little encounter. Sun could only sit and watch, still feeling a turmoil of emotions stirring within him. Solar Flare proceeded to surprise him even more when he picked up Sun’s pants and slid them up his legs for him. Sun was completely confused. He’d never seen the other act like this at all, even when Eclipse ordered him around. Either way, he appreciated the help, as embarrassing as it was, because his body still felt weak and limp.

Solar Flare then scooped Sun into his arms, picking him up and carrying him toward the bedroom. Sun’s indignant squeak was of course muted. Solar Flare carefully pulled open one of the blankets and placed Sun back into the pillow nest. He then touched the back of Sun’s head, for only a second, and Sun felt that same sensation from before move through his code. He still didn’t know what to even think about that. But Solar Flare just looked at him for a moment longer before letting the blanket fall back into place. Sun heard his footsteps retreat. He inhaled a deep breath and let it out slowly, before laying down. Exhaustion settled over him, and he found himself plunging down into sleep almost immediately.

Chapter Text

The large metal door’s intricate lock clicked a few times as it disengaged. The heavy door slowly opened, letting a figure step through and into the bunker. A pair of red eyes were immediately locked onto an unexpected sight.

“Get away from her you bitch.” Eclipse said dramatically.

He was hanging onto the back of Solar Flare, riding him as the taller bot stepped forward silently, approaching Sun. The yellow animatronic stood hunched over a pillow that lay on the ground, with a…paper face on it? Sun glared up at Eclipse and hissed loudly.

Sun was having a lot of fun. This had all escalated from speaking the lines to each other, to miming the scenes, to just deciding to fully act them out while the movie played in the background. He’d been all too happy to play as the alien when Eclipse demanded to be Ripley.

He was having such a good time that when he caught sight of a familiar figure in his periphery, his mind leapt with joy at seeing his brother. But the flame of hope was snuffed as quickly as it was kindled, and Sun remembered exactly where he was, and exactly who was staring at him. And all at once he felt like he’d been dropped into ice water. His body locked up, his systems and circuitry ground to a halt.

Eclipse noticed his sudden change and turned. He too noticed their new visitor, and immediately fell off of Solar Flare. It would have been a prime moment for Sun to tease him, if he wasn’t too busy feeling like the floor was opening up beneath his feet.

Moon’s frame stood tall, looking between them all, but there was no mistaking the presence behind those eyes. Killcode had finally come to visit. He held a cardboard box in his arms, and after a silent pause, he moved to set it down on one of the tables.

“Playing games, I see?” his deep voice reached out toward them.

Eclipse scoffed, crossing his arms and glaring at KC.

“As if there’s much to do in this pit besides stare at the walls.” he said in a venomous tone.

Sun had nearly forgotten what Eclipse sounded like when he spoke with genuine contempt. It felt like almost a lifetime ago that he would speak to Sun in that way, despite it really not being that long ago. Time seemed to stretch out into forever here. And Sun let it. He let himself get wrapped up in this little bubble where time and the world outside didn’t exist. Where he and Eclipse and Solar Flare could talk and play games and watch movies forevermore. And now that bubble had been burst. KC walked over to Eclipse’s desk, picking up the notebook and flipping through its pages.

“Hmm, not as full as your last.” he said, glancing toward Eclipse. “Getting lost in distractions?”

Eclipse just glared in simmering silence, his hands gripping his arms to hard Sun worried there might be dents. And then KC’s eyes turned onto Solar Flare. With a small gesture of his hand, the stoic bot was obediently walking over. KC’s calculating gaze moved over him, reaching out and resting a hand lightly on his arm.

“I’m impressed, my child.” KC addressed Eclipse. “I half-expected you to have dismantled it by now.”

“Pfft,” Eclipse scoffed. “It’s more useful as an assistant than as scrap.”

“Indeed.” KC replied.

Sun watched this all in tense silence as Killcode looked around each room, as if he was inspecting everything. He internally fought not to press against the wall as KC passed by to briefly glance into the bedroom before moving on. Sun wondered if he was expecting to find something. Did he think they had some kind of weapon hidden somewhere? Sun doubted it, given that Eclipse already told him he’d tried to escape several times before Sun arrived.

Sun couldn’t take his eyes off KC. His body remained tense, waiting for the other to lash out at him. He also couldn’t help but wonder if Moon was awake behind those eyes. Was he watching everything right now? Was he struggling and shouting inside? It made Sun feel weak. Weak and pathetic. He couldn’t do a single thing to free himself or his twin from their prisons. They were all held captive underneath Killcode’s thumb.

And Sun had forgotten this. He forgot he was trapped, with no way out. Would KC keep them here forever? Sun felt the pit in his stomach hollow out, leaving him empty. He was so caught up in his thoughts that he didn’t pay attention to the conversation around him. KC’s deep rumble and Eclipse’s snipped tone passed over his head. He only snapped out of it when he saw KC heading toward the door.

“W-Wait!” he called out, stepping forward.

Killcode paused, and turned to regard him. His face was impassive, his posture relaxed. But Sun remembered. He remembered the rage. The growled threats. The harsh hands. Sun nearly lost his nerve, but he had to ask. He had to know.

“Is…is Bloodmoon okay?” he asked quietly.

He instantly regretted opening his stupid mouth. He flinched back from KC’s low growl and his red eyes that narrowed in distaste.

“They still live, despite your best effort.” came the reply.

Sun didn’t know how to respond, so he just shut back up and watched KC turned around and reach for the door. No one moved at all as he opened the door and stepped through it. He left, taking Sun’s brother with him. They’d been so close to each other, and yet still so far apart.

As soon as the big lock clicked back into place, Eclipse whirled around to glare at Solar Flare.

“Why the hell didn’t you warn me that he was here?”

Solar Flare’s blank gaze turned toward Eclipse, and he spoke in his usual calm monotone.

“You told me, quote ‘Stop talking and shut up. You’re ruining the scene.’ End quote.”

For a second Sun braced himself, expecting Eclipse to march over and strike Solar Flare. But he didn’t. Instead he sighed long and hard, bringing a hand up to rub his eyes. Sun recalled Solar Flare starting to speak at some point. But Eclipse shushed him as he climbed up onto the taller bot’s back. Sun had been too busy giggling at how silly Eclipse looked to pay Solar Flare any attention. And now Killcode probably thought they were a pair of stupid children. Eclipse huffed once more before walking over to the new box. He began to rifle through it while Sun scooped up the pillow. He lay it back on the bed and removed the little paper face he’d created earlier that day. Eclipse came up behind him and dumped a small pile of DVDs onto the mattress.

“Huzzah.” he said in a deadpan.

Sun glanced over them, still feeling too wrapped up in his thoughts to really look.

“Why’d you ask about Bloodmoon?” Eclipse asked.

“Huh?” Sun looked at him.

“Why did you ask about Bloodmoon?” Eclipse repeated slower.

“Oh, K- ah, he didn’t tell you?”

“He never tells me anything.” Eclipse rolled his eyes.

“I…Bloodmoon, he…” Sun hated saying it. “I…kind of blew him up.”

Eclipse’s eyes widened, and he blinked at Sun for a moment.

“You blew up Bloodmoon?”

“With your barrel cannon.” Sun mumbled, fidgeting with his hands.

“Well, color me impressed.” a grin slid across Eclipse’s face. “Who knew little Sunny had it in him.”

“I didn’t mean it!” Sun insisted. “Or, I mean I did, but…”

He didn’t know how to explain himself. Explain the mix of satisfaction and regret as he scorched the red animatronic to pieces. The confusing mess of relief and guilt as Moon rushed upon the scene. Sun pushed the memory away. He left Eclipse’s side and walked over to the box, more out of a need to do something than real curiosity. Within he found more scrap metal, wires, and tools. There was also a blank notebook with new pens and pencils. Sun wondered what it was that KC had Eclipse writing down. Most likely sciencey stuff that would sail over Sun’s head.

“Why are you in here?” Sun asked Eclipse.

He’d been curious about that since he got here. Before, he’d been under the impression that Eclipse was willingly allied with Killcode. But that was obviously not the case.

Eclipse made a dismissive noise, coming over to retrieve the new notebook and sit at his desk.

“Long story short, I tried to possess that hunk of junk over there,” he pointed at Solar Flare. “and take out dear old dad. Solar Flare resisted, ratted me out, and now I’m here.”

Sun didn’t expect that answer.

“But, then how are you…” Sun gestured at Eclipse.

“How do I have my own body?” Eclipse smirked. “Killcode oh so graciously put me in it. And then he locked me away in here.”

Sun definitely didn’t know what to say to that. But Eclipse just turned in his chair, setting his elbows on the desk and staring into nothing.

“Told me that he found this old thing stored away in the back of the plex. It was apparently a sun-model prototype. Lucky me. You know, he could’ve just left me in a computer. Plugged me up in here and told me to get to work. But he gave me a body first. And then he caged me up all over again. He loves cruel irony, I suppose.”

Before Sun could open his mouth, Eclipse changed the subject. He turned to look at Sun.

“I left a list of things to get in the old notebook, by the way.” he said. “He’ll look it over and see to our requests. Within reason, of course. Apparently requesting that he kindly go fuck himself is both impossible and crass.”

Eclipse gave a self-satisfied laugh, his hands idly flipping through the blank pages of his notebook.

“I added art supplies to the bottom of the list. You’re welcome.”

Sun inhaled to give a snarky comeback, but hesitated. He found himself actually feeling touched that Eclipse did that. He didn’t have to. Sun never expected him to. And yet he did. It was a small thing, with no real effort involved. But still.

“Thank you.” Sun ended up saying.

Apparently Eclipse wasn’t expecting the sincerity, because his smirk dropped and he hunched over his notebook, pen in hand.

“Don’t mention it.” he said before scribbling on the page.

Not sure what else to do, Sun slowly returned to the bedroom. He was feeling more clear-headed, and looked through the new DVDs. He felt a stir of excitement, and wanted to have a movie marathon in the pillow fort. He turned back toward Eclipse, but was reluctant to pull him from his work. KC had sounded vaguely disappointed over the last notebook, and he didn’t want to indirectly get Eclipse in trouble or something. But he didn’t want to sit alone, with just his own thoughts. His eyes turned toward Solar Flare, now occupying his usual corner.

Sun had to admit, Solar Flare was full of surprises. He couldn’t imagine the impassive bot actually defying Eclipse, and then telling on him. It added to the mixed up emotions he felt since last night. Sun’s face heated a bit at the memory. Best not to think about that. At all. Nope, just be normal.

Sun nearly scoffed out loud at himself. As if normal was ever something he was capable of being. So, resigning himself to the awkwardness, Sun approached Solar Flare. It was still just as unnerving as always when the other’s unblinking eyes snapped to him. But Sun knew there was more behind those eyes, and that was both worrying and somehow reassuring.

“Hey, Solar Flare.” Sun smiled at him. “Do you want to maybe watch a movie? You’ve probably never seen these before.”

As before, Solar Flare simply stared. Sun’s smile faded. Did Solar Flare not want to watch a movie? Or did he not like him or something? Was he being annoying?

“I’ll let you pick the movie.” Sun couldn't help but tack on.

He hated how needy he sounded. He just didn’t want to sit alone right now. Eclipse sighed and sat up, looking over his shoulder at them.

“Just go watch a damn movie, Solar Flare.” he said.

And that was all it took. Solar Flare obeyed Eclipse’s order and went into the bedroom. Sun followed behind and observed as the other looked over the pile of DVDs.

“So which one do you wanna watch first?” Sun asked.

He watched Solar Flare’s eyes read over each title, happy to see that he did seem to be actually thinking over his choice. After a minute, he tapped a finger on one of the movies. Sun grinned and picked it up. He practically hopped over to the pillow fort, excitement bubbling up. He ducked inside the little fort to access the tv and insert the new disc. He then poked his head back out, looking up at Solar Flare.

“Wait, can you actually fit in here?” he asked.

It suddenly occurred to him how cramped this space was, and how tall and broad Solar Flare’s body was. Instead of replying verbally, Solar Flare stooped down. He grabbed the sheet, keeping it open while Sun let go and moved back. He sat on the floor against the bed frame, watching with concern as Solar Flare slowly crawled inside of the fort. He sat toward the front, close to the tv. He settled on the pillows, and Sun smiled at how the canopy blanket tented over his head. But it would do. Sun scooted forward, closer to the other. There wasn’t enough room for them to sit side by side, but Sun was content to be a little bit behind the other. Solar Flare leaned forward and carefully pressed the play button to begin the movie. Soothing orchestral music played, and Sun felt himself relax, shifting a bit on the pillows to get more comfortable. This was another movie that caused strong feelings for Sun, but he didn’t mind. He was kind of looking forward to seeing if Solar Flare had any reactions to certain moments. Sun smiled at the scene of newborn Little Foot.

“Awww.” he couldn’t help but gush.

He pulled up a pillow and hugged it close, grinning. Solar Flare gave no outward reaction to the cuteness overload happening. But his attention did seem glued to the screen, so Sun took that as a good sign.

But all too soon came the part that Sun dreaded. He squeezed the pillow tight as he watched Little Foot’s mother fight to protect her son. Her fate was already set in stone, though, and Little Foot got one final moment with her before she passed. Sun sniffled, blinking away tears that tried to well up. He hated that he could never get through this scene without crying. Even Lunar had gently teased him when they watched it together-

Oh no. Sun shoved that memory away as if it burned him. He couldn’t think about that. He couldn’t think about his home and his siblings and…

He’d clutched a pillow then, too, pressing his mouth against it in a feeble attempt to muffle his sad noises. The large theatre screen cast the whole room in moody grey as heavy rain came down over Little Foot and his mother. Lunar sat beside him, currently at the wheel of Moon’s body while the other slept within. He poked fun at Sun for being upset. After all, Sun told him he’d watched this movie a thousand times already. But he still scooted closer and leaned against Sun.

Sun curled in on himself in his little blanket fort, shoving his face into the pillow as a sob hitched his shoulders. Oh no, oh no. The tears that spilled over had nothing to do with the movie. He had to stop thinking, and just focus on the present. Just focus on what was happening now, not in the past. He practically bit down on his tongue to swallow the whimpers pushing against his chest. He focused all of his attention on listening to the old dinosaur give words of wisdom to Little Foot. He was so focused on focusing that he jolted when hands wrapped around him.

Sun gave a startled squeak as he was pulled up and into Solar Flare’s lap. The taller bot said nothing, just settled Sun down and wrapped his arms loosely around him. Sun glanced up at him. His glowing gaze stared ahead at the television, face unreadable as always. Sun slowly relaxed into the comforting hold. He still felt conflicted about before, and he wondered for the millionth time if he should bring it up to Eclipse. But he just wasn’t sure! It would certainly be humiliating, and part of him worried that Eclipse might get mad at him. Was he even allowed to…um, spend alone time with Solar Flare without Eclipse being involved? He had no idea, and he was reluctant to find out.

So he just decided to worry about it later, shoving it down with all the other things he refused to think about. He jumped a bit when fingers traced over his rays. Sun felt his face heat up as he realized Solar Flare was carefully petting his rays. He didn’t say or do anything else, and Sun could only sit in the silence for a few minutes before it became unbearable.

“Um, do you like the movie so far?” he asked.

“There are many inaccuracies.” came the monotone reply.

“Oh.” Sun deflated a little.

He didn’t know much about dinosaurs, so it made sense that an old children’s movie wouldn’t exactly be a bastion of scientific merit.

“The art is pretty.” Solar Flare added on after a moment.

Sun perked back up, smiling.

“Yeah, it’s really cute.” he agreed.

Another silence settled over them, but Sun couldn’t let it linger for long. A prolonged silence invited thoughts and memories to flood back in.

“So…do you have a favorite character?”

“Favorite?” Solar Flare asked.

“Yeah.” Sun nodded. “Which one do you like the most?”

Solar Flare didn’t give an answer, so Sun decided to keep talking.

“This always surprises people, but my favorite is Cera.” Sun said. “She’s a bit of a jerk, but there’s just something about her. Or maybe I just like toxic people.”

Sun laughed a bit, then forced himself to be quiet. He watched the movie, sadness tugging at him when Little Foot was still in denial about his mother being gone. He wondered how many times he’d watch this movie before he stopped being affected by the emotional scenes. He didn’t really want to find out.

Solar Flare played with his rays, and Sun relaxed back against him. He let the pillow fall onto his legs as he snuggled into Solar Flare’s lap. His eyes grew heavy. The gentle attention being given to his rays was practically his kryptonite, and Sun didn’t bother to fight its effect. He fell steadily into a foggy, comfortable haze. His body drooped to the side, but Solar Flare acted before he could right himself. His free arm wrapped securely over Sun’s front, pulling him firmly against his chest. Sun’s eyes blinked slowly, his vision blurring as darkness closed in. Sun let himself drift away into a dreamless sleep.

Sun slowly became aware of a soft touch. It traced lightly over his torso, running along the seams of his plating. He sighed in contentment, melting further into the soft nest beneath him. He heard a quiet laugh above him, and realized that it wasn’t Solar Flare’s voice. His eyes blinked open to see Eclipse’s face hovering near his. For a moment, Sun thought he must be having that dream again. Eclipse was touching him so softly, and any second now he’d open his mouth and murmur sweet nothings.

“You sleep too much.” Eclipse said in a teasing tone, smirking down at Sun.

Sun realized he wasn’t dreaming. He glanced around but didn’t see Solar Flare. Just Eclipse, who lay on his stomach beside Sun, one hand propping his head up and the other drifting across Sun’s body.

“What else is there to do except sleep?” Sun griped, a little annoyed that his nice nap had been interrupted. “I either sleep or stand around watching you write.”

“What else indeed?” Eclipse’s smirk grew into a grin. “So you like watching me, huh?”

Sun blinked some more, waking up fully. He realized that he’d just admitted to watching Eclipse when he worked, which was something he did not want Eclipse knowing about.

“Don’t worry, princess,” Eclipse said. “I won’t tell on you.”

His voice was low and smooth, and Sun could already tell where this was going. A flame fluttered to life within him, warming his face. His hands reached up of their own volition and wrapped around Eclipse’s shoulders, pulling him down into a kiss, more than ready to start whatever Eclipse had planned. Eclipse hummed into his mouth, sliding over to lay on top of Sun. Now Sun truly felt like he’d slipped into the dream from before. He slid his hands from Eclipse’s shoulder down his back, pulling him closer. Eclipse got the hint and settled his full weight onto Sun, who moaned happily and spread his legs. Eclipse pulled back from the kiss and grinned down at Sun.

“Someone’s eager.” he said, amusement coloring his tone.

He then got to work, kissing Sun while his hands dragged Sun’s pants off his hips and down his legs. Sun was quick to push Eclipse’s pants down as well, and they both kicked the clothing off. Eclipse lay back down on Sun and pressed another kiss to his mouth. His hands ran up Sun’s sides, leaving shivers in their wake. He then took hold of Sun’s wrists, pulling his arms up over his head, until Sun felt them bump into the metal leg of the bed. Eclipse’s hands covered over Sun’s, and he wrapped them around the leg.

He let go and moved his own hands back down Sun’s body, gripping his hips and grinding himself down. Sun gasped, hands squeezing onto the metal leg. Having his hands held up, even if nothing was actually binding them, was fueling the fire in his belly. He whimpered as Eclipse rubbed their wet pussies together, spreading his legs wider apart to invite him deeper. When Eclipse stopped and lifted off of Sun, he let out a petulant whine. Eclipse chuckled as he pulled one of Sun’s legs up a bit, putting it between his own. He settled down onto it, rubbing himself against Sun’s thigh. Before Sun could complain, he felt Eclipse’s fingers trace over his folds. He dipped down for more kisses while his fingers rubbing slowly from Sun’s opening to his clit. Sun moaned into Eclipse’s mouth as he rubbed the tiny bud with two fingers, rocking himself against Sun’s thigh.

Sun rolled his hips up, causing his thigh to grind up into Eclipse’s pussy. He gasped, and Sun felt warm slick trailing down his thigh. Eclipse responded by moving his fingers from Sun’s clit down to his wet centre. He pushed one digit inside, drawing a happy sigh from Sun.

Eclipse set a steady pace on Sun’s thigh, while he pumped two fingers into Sun. Sun wanted to let go of the metal leg and grab Eclipse’s hips, maybe help pull him along, but he kept his arms raised. Eclipse’s tongue rolled down Sun’s face, licking a ray before moving to his neck. Sun’s breathy cries grew louder when Eclipse rubbed against his sweet spot. Eclipse kissed along Sun’s body as he rutted against him. He worked in a third finger and Sun arched his head back into the pillows.

“Ahh, please please more.” he panted.

Eclipse growled, and Sun felt the scrape of his teeth across his neck. He put his whole wrist into it now, curling his fingers into Sun’s sweet spot repeatedly. Sun’s cries pitched higher and higher as his climax washed over him. His hips bucked up and his hands clamped down so hard on the metal leg he feared it might break. Eclipse kept pumping his fingers as Sun twitched and whimpered, rubbing his pussy hard on Sun’s thigh. Sun distantly wondered if he’d end up rubbing the paint off. That would be hilarious and humiliating for both of them. Eclipse's tongue and teeth lathed over Sun’s chest before he shoved his face into Sun’s shoulder.

“Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck.” came his muffled voice.

His hips snapped forward, and Sun felt a rush of liquid drip down. Eclipse breathed heavily, relaxing down on top of him. Sun let himself fall back completely under the weight, legs going limp, hands hesitating.

“Can I lower my arms now?” he asked in a light tone.

Eclipse lifted his face to look at him, grinning before playfully rolling his eyes.

“I suppose.”

Sun giggled, letting go of the bed and bringing his hands down to cup Eclipse’s face and pull him in for another kiss. Sun’s fingers drifted from Eclipse’s cheeks to his rays, rubbing lightly. He felt them shiver under his touch, and felt the vibration of Eclipse’s growl against his mouth.

Sun broke the kiss and lay back. He felt sleep reaching out to hold him again, and he welcomed it. He felt content beneath Eclipse, in their warm and soft little fort. He looked past Eclipse and finally noticed what was now playing on the television. It was Aliens. Again.

“Is this your favorite movie?” Sun asked quietly, his eyes drifting closed.

“It’s the only one that hasn’t driven me crazy yet.” Eclipse replied.

He then resumed pressing kisses to Sun’s mouth and face. Sun practically purred, feeling like he was floating away on a cloud. He heard Eclipse laugh and mumble something, but was too far gone now, sinking into sleep once more.

Sun was so comfy, and so tired from the long day. He’d had to deal with a huge crowd of kids, and then Bloodmoon of all people decided to slink inside and taunt him. He’d warned them to back off. To just leave and never return, but they didn’t listen.

He’d meant to kill them when it happened. Meant to erase this glaring problem from his already long list of problems. But as he looked down on the shattered remains, he couldn’t keep regret from closing in. It didn’t help matters when Moon rushed over, bewildered and alarmed. He hadn't been exactly pleased with Sun, but he thankfully only yelled a little. He hastily pulled Sun to his bedroom, promising to take care of things and ordering Sun to stay put. And then Sun was left alone. He sat alone with his thoughts for a while until stress exhausted him enough to burrow underneath the blankets.

He wasn’t sure how much time passed until he heard his door open, and peeked out. Moon entered and strode toward him, and Sun braced for more yelling. He wasn’t ready for Moon to shoot out a hand and grab his arm, dragging him out of bed. Sun’s limbs flailed a bit as he squeaked in surprise and fear.

“M-Moon, wha-”

“Shut. Up.” came the deep hissing voice.

His other hand squeezed around Sun’s neck, and he yanked him up to glare in his face. Sun recognized that voice, and he was sure Moon wouldn’t look at him like this, even when he was pissed. This wasn’t his brother. This was Killcode.

Sun’s struggling doubled. He kicked and grabbed onto anything he could as he was dragged out of his bedroom. He managed to grab the doorway and clung onto it desperately. Killcode snarled and bashed his full weight into Sun, smashing him into the door frame before wrenching him free. Sun caught sight of Moon’s tunnel as they headed for the ladder, and his panic fully claimed him.

“Stop! Let go! Moon! Moon help!”

He knew that Moon wasn’t in his room. He was trapped behind the eyes of this maniac. But he couldn’t help but cry out for his twin to save him. He was going to die! Surely Killcode was going to tear him apart for what he did. Sun grabbed hold of the ladder and held on for dear life. Killcode growled at him, his claws digging painfully into Sun as he yanked at him.

“Pitiful little-” he gave a brutal pull and dragged Sun up the ladder.

Sun screamed and fought, tears blurring his vision. He didn’t want to die! He didn’t want to be killed! He was sorry! He was so sorry!

Hands wrapped around his arms and shook him, and Sun shrank away, begging just to be left alone. Something smothering fell over him. His frantic breaths came faster.

“Sun, stop! Wake up!”

That was Eclipse’s voice, not Killcode’s. Eclipse hadn’t been there when Sun was stolen from his home. Sun finally started waking up, his flailing limbs slowing to a stop. He opened his eyes, and saw only a thin blanket pressed over his face. It was pulled away, and he winced under the bright lights. He felt cold tear trails on his face. His body was shaking. He could only sit on the floor and stare dumbly over at Eclipse, who knelt nearby.

“Are you done destroying the castle?” he asked, his tone caught between joking and sincere.

Sun took notice of the mess all around him.

“Oh no.” he said quietly.

He’d pulled the fort apart. Blankets and pillows lay scattered across the floor. Sun shambled up to his feet quickly, and gasped when he saw the tv lying on its front, likely toppled when Sun yanked the blankets down.

“Don’t panic.” Eclipse stood as well. “I’m pretty sure it’s still fine. Solar Flare dropped it when we first got here.”

Sun couldn’t react to that. Couldn’t laugh or cry or glare. He just stared down at his trembling hands.

“Sun?”

“Huh, what?” Sun blinked and looked up at him.

The concern on Eclipse’s face looked so strange that Sun was half-convinced he hadn't actually stopped dreaming since the night before. Or maybe all of this was one big dream. He’d snapped from the guilt of almost killing Bloodmoon, and was lying unconscious in his bedroom.

“Did you hear me?” Eclipse’s voice breached the fog around his head once more.

Sun just silently shook his head, because he had no idea what Eclipse was talking about. He then bent down and started picking up the pillows and blankets. He came across his pants, and realized he and Eclipse were still naked. He quickly pulled them on, and saw Eclipse fish out his own pair from the corner of his eye.

Sun carried an armful into the bathroom, dropping them into a pile before returning for the rest. He stripped the bed of its blankets and pillow cases, and grabbed the soiled rags while he was at it. He’d been procrastinating on getting them clean, so he might as well start now.

Sun started the warm water in the tub and retrieved the soap. He caught glimpses of Eclipse, standing in the doorway and watching him. Neither said anything, and eventually he left. Once the tub was filled enough, Sun shut the water off. In the quiet he could hear Eclipse’s low mumbling and the fast scratch of his pen.

Sun focused on that noise, and when that wasn’t enough he hummed a quiet tune to himself, dumping the rags in first and scrubbing them clean.

Chapter Text

The bunker hadn’t looked this clean and shiny since the day it was created.

Sun never actually saw it when it was brand new, but he’d bet he was right. What he wasn’t sure of was how much time had passed by as he cleaned and cleaned and cleaned.

He’d taken all of the blankets and rags and pillow cases and washed them in the tub with soap. He asked Eclipse if there were actual cleaning solutions anywhere but got a head shake. Oh well, soap was better than nothing.

And now everything was draped across every single surface in the bathroom, slowly drying. Sun wondered to himself if Killcode would be willing to haul down a dryer for him to use. Probably not.

The boxes in the storage room had been sorted through again, even more thoroughly than last time, and placed neatly upon freshly-cleaned shelves. And then he’d resorted to going over the floors, scrubbing them despite the fact that he’d already cleaned them a few days ago.

The only place he didn’t touch was Eclipse’s desk, and that was mostly because Eclipse sat planted in his chair, tinkering with wires or something. Sun looked at Solar Flare, and his eyes scanned over the various nicks and grooves in his frame. The chipped paint and stains covering him. Sun didn’t realize the object of his attention was staring back until he spoke, making him jump.

“Do you require assistance?”

“Oh! No, no! I’m fine, thanks.” Sun quickly replied, his face heating up at being caught staring.

He quickly diverted his gaze elsewhere. He walked to a table and ran a finger over it, looking closely. Was the dust on his finger from the table? Or were his hands just dirty from all the cleaning? Maybe he should-

“Alright, that’s it.” Eclipse stood from his chair. “You’re driving me up the damn wall.”

Sun turned to glare at him, but Eclipse was faster. Next thing Sun knew, he was being dragged to the desk and pushed down into the chair. Eclipse gave him a stern “sit” and then walked into the supply room. Sun blinked in confusion, and the feeling grew as Eclipse reappeared before he could stand up. Eclipse set a small toolbox down on the desk and started pulling vaguely familiar tools out.

“Um, what’s happening?” Sun questioned.

“Maintenance check.” Eclipse replied. “You haven’t been looked over since you got here. And I’m willing to bet it’s been much longer than that.”

He was right. Sun hated maintenance for many reasons, one of which being that he just couldn’t sit still long enough, especially when he felt anxious. And maintenance checks always made him extra anxious. And while Sun knew logically that there was nothing to be worried about, it didn’t stop his body from squirming.

Eclipse walked around behind him, and began carefully examining the wires and circuits on the back of Sun’s head. The feeling of fingers there was nerve-wracking, especially when Sun remembered how Solar Flare had managed to access his code. That was still something Sun wanted answers about, but wasn’t sure how to bring up. He didn’t know what the hell he’d do if Eclipse wasn’t aware of Solar Flare’s little ability. He shifted even more in his chair and Eclipse chuckled behind him.

“Poor Sunny.” he said. “Only a week into your prison sentence and already the cabin fever is setting in. You should have seen me after a month.”

Sun’s eyes widened. A month! He missed his house and job and family so much already. He couldn’t imagine being kept away from them for an entire month! He’d never complain about any of them ever again! The only thing keeping him grounded was the ever-present feeling of Eclipse’s fingers. They moved on from his wires to his rays, testing the springs and making sure nothing felt loose.

“W-When did you have a check done?” Sun asked to fill the silence.

“Oh I’ve been a good boy, Sunny. I had one done a few months ago. Let me guess, your last checkup was sometime last year?”

He was right on the mark, but Sun didn’t confirm it. Thankfully Eclipse seemed to be in a talkative mood and continued on.

“Y’know, I used to have a lot of cleaning supplies. And I mean real supplies, not just soap.”

He leaned a bit over Sun’s shoulder, smirking at him from the corner of Sun’s eye.

“Wanna know why we don’t have them anymore?”

“Why?”

“Two words. Highly flammable.”

And then he straightened back up, and Sun was left feeling partly curious for more details. But mostly he just felt grateful that Eclipse had mellowed out by the time he was thrown in here. Eclipse just laughed quietly and kept talking.

“That’s what happens when you trap someone and then expect them to just play nice about it.”

His tone turned bitter, and then two hands came down on Sun’s shoulders, making him jump a bit. Eclipse moved on to testing the joints in Sun’s arms, lifting his arms and rotating his shoulders.

“Anything hurt?” Eclipse asked, his voice quiet and calm once more.

“Um, no.” Sun answered. “I haven’t had any problems.”

He shivered when fingertips dug into his joints and touched the bolts buried deep, nudging them to test if they were loose. Thankfully none of them had any give, and Eclipse moved on. He walked around to Sun’s front.

“Stand.” he said.

And Sun did, standing up and moving his legs in rotations just as he’d done so the last time he had to do this. He tried not to remember the last time he’d done calibration checks, with Moon instructing him and watching for any sign of malfunction. He couldn’t take picturing Moon right now so soon after…

Fingers snapped in his face, and Sun blinked rapidly as he was brought back to the present.

“I said sit.” Eclipse firmly pushed Sun back into the chair.

Sun glared at him, but it fell away when Eclipse dropped down to his knees, moving to kneel close between Sun’s legs. He reached for some of the tools on the desk.

“I’m gonna open you up.” Eclipse said, and Sun would have assumed he was teasing him if not for the look of concentration on his face.

The bolts keeping his chest plate in place, covering all of his vital insides, was loosened and then popped off. Sun managed to keep from wincing. He never got used to the brief pain. Eclipse carefully set the plating aside on the desk before leaning in and inspecting everything. Sun tried to keep breathing normally, thought it felt very weird to do so when someone was looking directly at his fans. He could hear them spinning fast. Eclipse ran a finger gently across the filters before giving a low whistle.

“I’m shocked, Sunny.” he said. “With how much cleaning you do I expected your filters to be coated in grime. Not to mention all the kids sneezing directly into your face every day.”

Sun just rolled his eyes and didn’t rise to the bait.

“Tanks are pretty full, surprisingly. Good thing we have plenty of water down here.” Eclipse commented with a smirk.

Sun huffed, staying silent. It felt too weird talking when he was exposed like this. Especially with Eclipse’s face practically pressed up against his internal hardware. It was so incredibly anxiety-inducing and also a bit…exciting. And Sun didn’t know which feeling to fight down harder. His mind kept swinging between being terrified that he would twitch and make Eclipse pull or nick something, and the other half was thinking back to that pesky little fantasy he’d had the other night. He really hoped this particular moment didn’t appear in his dreams. At this rate he was going to develop a damn complex involving this chair.

His chest plate being fit back into place made Sun realize he’d zoned out again, and he held in a sigh of relief as his front was covered overly safely once more. Eclipse screwed in the bolts and stood, gathering his tools and putting them away. He shoved the toolbox to the back of his desk and then looked at Sun.

“You’re all done. You were a good boy, but unfortunately I’m all out of lollipops and stickers.” he said. “Now get out of my chair, I’ve got work to do. Unless you want me to sit in your lap?”

And now Sun had one more image living in his mind forever. Just great. He shot up and stepped aside quickly. Eclipse looked entirely too smug as he sat down and scooted up to the desk, like he knew exactly where Sun’s mind was wallowing.

Sun stood there watching Eclipse write while trying not to look like he was watching Eclipse write. To his surprise, he found that he felt a lot better than he did just minutes ago. The nervous energy twitching down his limbs was released, and his mind wasn’t so clouded over. Huh, maybe he really did just need a good distraction to reset himself, so to speak.

Eclipse leaned heavily on his elbows, his messy scrawl filling the pages of the notebook. The words were barely legible gibberish. The few that Sun could make out were far too sciency for him to understand. Not to mention the occasional symbols and equations. He wondered how Killcode interpreted whatever it was he had Eclipse doing.

Sun couldn’t help but feel bad. Eclipse’s teasing expression had fallen away leaving behind a tense posture, and Sun longed to help him feel better the way he’d just done for Sun. But he wasn’t sure how to go about that, especially since he didn’t want to irriate Eclipse by pulling him away from his work.

“I know you like watching me, but it’s getting a little creepy.” Eclipse said without looking up.

Sun sputtered. “I was lost in thought!”

“Yeah I bet you were.”

Well, Sun had walked into that one. He could only huff and turn away. He still felt a desire to do something, but knew if he went back to cleaning then Eclipse would blow a circuit. So he decided to go into the storage room and retrieve their box of meager art supplies, carrying it into the bedroom. He set it on the bed before looking through the stack of DVDs for something to put on. He decided to pick another new one and popped it into the player. As he stood back and waited for the menu to show, he caught sight of a certain someone’s gaze on him.

Through the open doorway and on the other side of the room, Solar Flare stood tall and silent as always. But his bright fiery pinpoints were turned toward Sun. Had he been watching Sun this whole time? The thought made Sun a little flustered, but he pushed that aside. He smiled and waved at Solar Flare, wondering if maybe he wanted to watch a movie and do some crafts. Surely even he had to get bored just standing there all day.

Sun pulled out a sheet of brightly colored paper, carefully folding it and then tearing it into neat strips. It wasn’t very easy to do without scissors, but he made it work. As he finished, he looked back up to find Solar Flare still watching. He smiled at him again.

“Do you wanna learn how to make lucky stars?” Sun asked, gesturing for Solar Flare to walk over. “Come on, I’ll show you!”

“Go over there and make stars before he starts scrubbing the walls again.” Sun heard Eclipse say.

Solar Flare left his corner and walked into the bedroom. Sun pat the space beside him on the bed.

“C’mon and sit!” he said when the other didn’t move. “You can’t make stars while standing up, silly.”

Technically they could, but Sun wanted Solar Flare to at least attempt to relax. He watched those eyes move from him to the empty space on the bed, and after a moment, Solar Flare walked to it and sat. The old mattress groaned under his weight, but thankfully nothing broke. Sun grinned up at him and handed him a single strip.

“Alright, now watch what I do and follow my steps.” he said, his cheery daycare attendant voice out in full force.

As exhausting as his job was, Sun really did miss it. And being able to step into that role for a bit helped ease that longing inside of him.

Solar Flare’s observant eyes were glued to Sun’s hands, and he copied each step perfectly. Soon the both of them had matching little paper stars. Sun held his up and smiled at it. He didn’t normally get to make these. They were a bit overly complicated for young children.

A hand reached over his lap, and Sun watched Solar Flare pick up another strip of paper and start making a second star. Within mere seconds he’d completed it just as precisely as the first, and held it out to Sun.

“Aww, thank you!” Sun accepted the gift. “You know, if we had some string we could make little bracelets with these.”

He pictured it. Sitting in the daycare after hours with his extensive art supply at his disposal. He couldn’t help the flutter of giddiness in his chest at the mental image of Solar Flare sitting beside him at the craft tables and making all sorts of things. He wanted Solar Flare to be able to explore artistically and expand his imagination.

Sun then realized Solar Flare was going through all the strips at a rapid pace. It was genuinely impressive how quickly he was able to make the stars after seeing Sun do it once. His fingers were practically a blur as they folded the paper, careful not to crumple or rip any part of the delicate origami piece. Sun grabbed another sheet of paper and started making more strips while watching.

Time was weird in here. It was impossible to keep track of the days or even the hours. It might as well have been a hundred years since he woke up in here.

He remembered being woken up by voices. Moon yelling all sorts of things, his words echoing from all around, and Sun’s fearful cries occasionally bleeding through from somewhere farther away.

And then they faded, and there was silence. It felt like an eternity and a few minutes all at once. And it was starting to drive him crazy! He just wanted to find a way out of here.

But no matter how much he called out, no one seemed to hear him. The few times he heard Moon again, always yelling and cursing, his brother could never hear him back.

So he stopped shouting and started moving. He walked and walked and walked and felt like he was going in circles. He was exhausted and frustrated, and still couldn’t see a way out of this place.

So now he sat here, hopelessness closing into the edges of his mind as he tried to think of what to do. He was just so confused! His last memory before this was going to sleep within Moon’s headspace like he always did. He was trying not to get scared but it was becoming difficult to keep the fear at bay when he was alone in this never-ending darkness.

A voice bled into his range of hearing, and he perked up, expecting to hear more of Moon’s angry words. But instead it was a voice he didn’t expect to hear. It was muddled at first, but as he listened harder, he could make out what they were saying.

“Lunar!” Monty’s voice came from nowhere and everywhere. “Lunar, can you hear me?”

“I can hear you!” he called out in reply, standing up. “I’m in here! I can’t get out!”

“Can you hear me!” Monty continued. “Look, if you can hear me, just hold on! I’m gonna figure something out to help you, I swear! Just hold on!”

The voice began to fade, and Lunar couldn’t contain his panic.

“Wait! Don’t leave! I’m in here!”

He ran through the black world he was stuck in, blind and frantic. He just wanted to go home! He wanted to know what the heck was happening!

Eventually he exhausted himself once again, and collapsed onto the ground. He pulled his knees up and buried his face into them. He trusted Monty. Surely they would be able to get him out of here. He just…he just had to sit here and wait. In the silence and darkness. All alone.

Waiting sucked a big one.

Sun watched the little pig on screen talk to a herd of sheep. In his arms he cradled a whole pile of little stars. Solar Flare couldn’t emote, but Sun was sure he had fun making them all. He’d spent the past several minutes making stars like it was his new job. Eventually Sun had to stop making paper strips. He didn’t want to use their whole supply, as fun as it was to watch Solar Flare.

So he gathered up all of Solar Flare’s hard work in his lap, mindful not to crush any of the delicate little stars. They sat in comfortable silence and watched the movie. Sun smiled as he watched all the little animals on screen talking and going about their day.

“I’ve always kind of wanted to live on a farm.” Sun said idly. “It would be hard work, but living out in the country with animals sounds peaceful.”

He glanced at Solar Flare, whose eyes were on the tv screen. A single lucky star was being rolled between his fingers, careful not to crush it.

“Where would you like to live?” Sun asked. “If you could choose anywhere.”

Solar Flare didn’t answer for a moment, then his eyes moved to look at Sun.

“The facilities in Killcode’s main bunker were much more efficient than here.” he stated.

“Um, no…” Sun said with a slight frown. “I meant anywhere in the world. Like, imagine you could magically go anywhere. Where would that be?”

Solar Flare just stared down at Sun in silence. Sun looked back, waiting to see if he’d come up with an answer. Maybe he didn’t understand the question? Sun opened his mouth to explain, when Eclipse swung into view in the doorway. Sun jumped in surprise, making a few stars fall from his lap to the floor. Eclipse’s grin widened.

“I would live in a castle.” he declared. “You two can be my loyal servants.”

Sun leveled him with an unimpressed expression, but Eclipse just turned his gaze to Solar Flare.

“Hey you, I’m bored. Time to make yourself useful for your king.”

And then he flourished away and walked to the bathroom. Solar Flare stood and followed after him. Sun watched them go, uncertainty closing in again, just like last time-

“You too, chambermaid!” came Eclipse’s voice.

Sun blinked, his face heating a bit at being called out. He gathered the stars up and placed them safely into the box. He then walked over and peered into the bathroom. Solar Flare was busy peeling off the still wet blankets from the table, folding them up, and neatly placing them into the bathtub. Sun groaned quietly, wishing for the hundredth time for a washer and dryer. Eclipse stood nearby, silicone phalluses already set out. He was fast at work buckling the harness around his thighs and waist.

“You’ve done your chores well, servant.” Eclipse grinned at him. “But your king requires your personal services.”

Sun rolled his eyes at the antics and walked over, his attention drawn to the dicks just hanging out on the table, specifically the huge one.

“Why do you even have that thing?” he asked, pointing at it.

“Eh, it was funny when I made it.” Eclipse shrugged.

“You made these?”

“Impressed?” Eclipse replied. “I had a lot of free time on my idle hands, Sunny. It was easy enough to ask for a few silicone blocks. The real trick was figuring out how to carve the shapes.”

Sun tried to imagine Eclipse spending hours at his desk carving dicks. Eclipse picked up the big one and ran his fingers over it.

“This one was the last I made. I decided to get a little fancy and made these ridges and bumps on it. Took me ages.”

“So…have you ever used it?” Sun couldn’t help but ask. That thing was intimidating!

“Hell no.” Eclipse answered, putting it back down. “I was too worried about tearing something to test it out.”

And then he turned back to Sun and stared at him. Sun stared back for a moment in confusion. And then he let out a squawk of protest.

“No! No way!” he glared as Eclipse burst into laughter.

“Calm down, princess. Your king will have mercy on you.”

Sun rolled his eyes again. Eclipse could be so weird with the little ‘games’ he liked to play. And it seemed that the goal was always to annoy Sun as much as possible. Eclipse grabbed the small sized dick and popped it into place, and Sun felt uncertainty stir in his chest. He wasn’t sure if he was in the mood for this right now, but before he could speak Eclipse reached out and cradled his face in his hands. He pulled Sun close and captured his mouth in a surprisingly soft kiss. And Sun couldn’t help but melt into it. Part of him was annoyed at himself for still being so starved for tender affection that he was immediately going weak at the knees for a simple kiss.

Sun quickly found himself being pressed back into the table, with Eclipse in between his legs. Sun felt firm silicone rubbing against his clothed crotch. Eclipse trailed a few kisses down Sun’s chin before pulling back a bit.

“You know, you should try this out sometime.” he murmured. “It’s a lot of fun.”

Sun tried to imagine himself wearing the strap, and immediately shook his head.

“N-No thanks!” he squeaked out.

He was definitely not ready for that! He just knew he’d screw it up somehow. Eclipse laughed a bit before moving in for more sweet kisses. He was being so affectionate and tender about it that Sun forgot all about his annoyance and uncertainty. He relaxed against the slightly wet table and enjoyed the attention.

When Eclipse leaned up Sun nearly whined at the loss of contact, but Eclipse grabbed his hips and turned him around. Sun was now chest down on the table, Eclipse laying over his back. His hand reached between Sun’s legs and squeezed before yanking his pants down to his ankles. Sun moaned quietly as he felt the prodding silicone slide up against his bare folds while Eclipse’s mouth kissed along Sun’s back. Between the kisses and hands touching in all the best ways, Sun got lost in the sensations. He very nearly pouted when Eclipse stopped and pulled away again. He glanced over his should just in time to see Eclipse gesture at Solar Flare, but the moment passed too quickly for him to decipher.

And then Eclipse pressed against Sun once more, hands guiding the tip of the dildo into Sun’s wet opening. Sun groaned as it stretched him open, slowly pushing inside all the way. Eclipse squeezed his hips, face pushed into Sun’s back as he ground his pelvis into Sun’s. Sun felt his tongue slide over the hoop on his back. Quiet gasps and moans filled the room. Eclipse rutted into Sun a few times, and then an extra pair of hands was on them both.

Sun jolted as he was pulled upright. It felt weird to stand straight with that thing inside of him, but thankfully it didn’t last long. Eclipse wrapped his arms around Sun’s middle to keep them flush together as Solar Flare lifted them both easily and set them on the table. Now Sun was sitting on Eclipse’s lap, blinking up at Solar Flare.

“You ready for The Big One?” Eclipse asked over his shoulder.

“Huh?” It took Sun a full second to catch on, and then he let out a loud squeak.

Solar Flare had the monster cock slotted into place! Sun gaped down at it as Eclipse laughed hard against his back.

“Holy shit, relax! I swear I could hear you clench up tight.”

“Bu-But-what-”

“Relax. I won’t actually make him shove that thing in you. I don’t have the tech necessary to repair you.”

Eclipse rubbed circles into Sun’s shoulders. He leaned his face close and lowered his voice.

“But we can still have some fun with it.”

His hands moved down and pushed Sun’s thighs apart, one hand pressing against his centre and playing with his clit. He was clearly trying to be nice and get Sun back in the mood after scaring him. He peppered more kisses along Sun’s neck and shoulders. Despite Sun’s spike of annoyance, he let himself relax under the doting attention.

He still eyed the monster dick as it slid in between his legs. Solar Flare’s hands went to his thighs, squeezing lightly. He gently pressed the huge chunk of silicone against Sun’s slit, rubbing in short slow strokes. The slide was smooth with how wet Sun still was, and he gasped at the dual sensations both inside and out. He soon forgot all about his reservations regarding its size as it glided up and down. Its girth was so large it parted his folds wide with each thrust. He could feel each and every bump Eclipse had carved into it, and could now appreciate the genius behind them.

Solar Flare moved in closer and put more of his weight into it, leaning over the other two. His thrusts pushed Sun down onto Eclipse, who moaned and lay back on the table. Sun reached up and grabbed Solar Flare’s shoulders, pulling him even closer. The taller bot paused for a second before letting himself be tugged almost fully on top of them. Eclipse’s fingers dug into Sun’s hips as he thrust up into him.

Sun was quickly being reduced to a moaning mess. He was snug in between both bodies, feeling Eclipse grinding into him while staring up at Solar Flare’s intensely burning eyes. Caught in the moment, he wrapped his arms more around Solar Flare’s broad shoulders and pulled him closer still. The huge dick was pressed almost painfully hard against Sun. He wanted so badly to wrap his legs around Solar Flare’s waist, but they were still being held apart by those strong hands. Sun blamed his next action on how turned on he was.

He reached up and grabbed Solar Flare’s head and yanked it down. Sun’s mouth pressed a heated kiss against where the other’s mouth would be. His lips slid along the plating, feeling each seam and scratch in the metal. He pressed kisses anywhere he could reach, his hand wrapping around one of the large static rays on Solar Flare’s head.

A whine left his throat when he realized Solar Flare wasn’t moving anymore. All he could feel was Eclipse, who was too lost in biting Sun’s back to notice what was happening above. Sun pulled away and looked up at Solar Flare, worried that maybe he’d done something wrong. His eyes widened when they met the other’s. Solar Flare’s pinpoint pupils had blown wide into rings of fire. They looked like two tiny eclipsed suns, aimed directly at him.

“What’s wrong?” Sun asked, concerned over Solar Flare’s frozen state.

“Huh, wha’?” Eclipse mumbled beneath him.

But Sun didn’t have time to reply before Solar Flare began moving again. He pulled Sun’s legs wider and lifted them, pressing Sun further back against Eclipse. He then picked up the pace, and Sun moaned with every fast breath, his hands squeezing Solar Flare as his head fell back onto Eclipse.

The tip of the monster dick caught just a bit as it swept past Sun’s opening, and in his haze Sun wished it could fit inside of him. The idea of them both buried inside him at once tipped Sun over the edge, and he came with a gasping wail. He felt his fingers chip away some of the paint on Solar Flare, and he would have apologized if he wasn’t so busy coming down from his high.

Through the aftershocks he felt Solar Flare lift him up and off Eclipse. He was set down nearby and left to catch his breath. He heard Eclipse still moaning and turned onto his side to watch. Eclipse was definitely close, judging by how he cursed like a sailor in a storm. Solar Flare stood over him, one hand gripping the strap and grinding its base down onto Eclipse’s clit. His other hand was further down, and Sun watched him pump two fingers in as he brought Eclipse closer and closer to completion.

“Goddam fuck ahh harder fuck holy shit!”

Sun had to admit it was becoming almost endearing to hear the endless stream of swears and demands that rushed past Eclipse’s lips in moments like this. Sun then looked up at Solar Flare’s eyes, and noted his normal pupils were back. But the way he stared intently down at Eclipse caught Sun’s attention. Despite his blank expression, Sun swore there was something burning in that gaze. Something that made Sun almost feel like he was intruding on something he shouldn’t be seeing, something that made heat rush back over him. If Sun wasn’t already worn out, he’d be ready for a second round from that stare alone. Sun never really thought about Solar Flare’s personal feelings toward Eclipse, but he was suddenly very inspired to think on it more.

Eclipse was too lost in bliss to see any of this, head thrown back and eyes clenched shut as he reached his peak. Sun crawled over to him and pressed kisses on the corner of his mouth as he rode it out. He was quick to recover enough to catch Sun’s mouth in a full kiss, reaching up and pulling Sun closer.

As they lay there, limp and exchanging slow kisses, Sun felt a hand slide up the back of his thigh. But when he broke away to glance behind him, he saw Solar Flare standing straight with both arms at his sides. Eclipse sat up and raised his arms in a stretch.

“Well that certainly does wonders for clearing the mind.” he said.

And then he slipped off the table and snapped a finger at Solar Flare with a haughty flourish.

“You, manservant, get those blankets back on the table. Sunny and me need the tub.”

“We do?” Sun asked as he stood on legs that still felt wobbly.

Eclipse just shot him a glance while he unbuckled the strap and set it aside. Solar Flare did the same before dutifully walking to the tub. Sun darted after him to help.

“Here, give me some.” he said, holding his arms out.

“That is not necessary.” Solar Flare replied in his usual dull tone.

He leaned down and scooped up the entire folded stack with ease and turned back to the table. Sun felt both impressed and guilty, watching him carry that entire heavy burden on his own. Sun then saw a few noticeably wet spots on the table, that definitely weren’t from the drying blankets. He grabbed a nearby rag and rushed over to quickly wipe that part of the table down. Eclipse was at the tub, running hot water while the other two cleaned. Sun finished wiping the table and smiled at Solar Flare.

“There! All clean.”

Solar Flare began unfolding the blankets and draping them across the table. Sun started to walk over to help out.

“Hey, get your grimy ass over here.” Eclipse called.

“I’m not grimy.” Sun huffed.

Eclipse got into the tub and leaned back, and it gave Sun a strong feeling of deja vu. His face warmed a little at the memory of their second time together, and first time being just the two of them. Eclipse certainly wasn’t helping things with the way he smirked at Sun and beckoned him over, looking every bit the part of a decadent ruler. Sun just gave him an unimpressed look as he walked over and stepped into the tub. He then stood there, trying to figure out where he could fit in with Eclipse stretched out and taking up all the space.

“Not that this view isn’t spectacular,” Eclipse said. “but you’ve got to actually get in the water.”

Sun made an annoyed sound and lowered himself down, kneeling with both knees on either side of Eclipse’s legs. He couldn’t keep the heat from his face, and he was sure it was red. Eclipse gave a short laugh.

“We were literally just fucking, you can stop acting like a shy virgin.”

Before Sun could reply, Eclipse reached out and grabbed his arm, pulling him closer until he was settled on Eclipse lap once more. Close up like this, Sun could plainly see the amused glint in Eclipse’s eyes, and hated how easily the other was able to get a reaction out of him. He hoped his withering glare was enough to make Eclipse back down a little so he could actually relax. He looked over his shoulder at Solar Flare, who was still finishing up with the blankets. Eclipse grabbed the wash rag and dipped it into the water.

“You’ve got smudges all over your rays. Did you know that?” he said.

“I do?” Sun reached up, but Eclipse grabbed the hand and lowered it down.

“You do. Almost as if your grimy little hands kept grabbing them while you were cleaning.”

He started scrubbing them with the rag while Sun sat in thought. His hands did get a bit dirty while cleaning everything, but Sun washed them multiple times throughout. He didn’t even remember grabbing his rays at any point, and that worried him. It was several months since the last time he’d damaged his rays, and he really didn’t want to break his clean streak. Especially not in front of anyone.

“Turn around.” Eclipse’s voice floated in.

Still lost in thought, Sun wordlessly did as he was told. He turned and sat back on Eclipse’s lap. He felt the cold wet cloth running over his rays again. Solar Flare finished his task and looked at them.

“Do you require assistance?” he asked.

“Nah, go away.” Eclipse waved a hand at him, still focused on Sun.

Sun watched Solar Flare leave the room, most likely to go stand in his corner again. It made Sun feel bad. He once more wondered if Solar Flare got bored. If he ever felt restless or anxious like Sun did sometimes when he felt like he was standing too still. He then thought back to the tall bot’s eyes, blown wide and staring intensely down at him. Sun couldn’t help but wonder if Solar Flare felt the kisses he pressed to his face, even without a mouth of his own. Could he feel any part of their…activities together? That thought made Sun feel even worse, and he couldn’t keep his curiosity to himself anymore.

“So, he cant feel any of the, uh, stuff we do?” Sun asked.

“Hmm?” Eclipse paused for a second. “Oh, you mean can he feel himself fucking us? Why d’you ask?”

“I don’t know,” Sun shrugged. “It just feels…wrong? That he’s basically being used and-”

Eclipse laughed without humor, sounding almost exasperated by what Sun was saying.

“That’s what he was made for, Sun. To be used. At first, he was going to be used for my new body. Then he became my assistant. And then, I got very bored.”

“But…” Sun hesitated. “But what if he could be more than that? What if he wants more?”

Eclipse sighed and sat back. “You’re feeling guilty. Guess I shouldn’t be surprised. You feel guilty about everything, even the good things you do.”

Sun paused for a long moment, not sure how to feel about what Eclipse said.

“Like what?” he quietly asked.

“Like shooting Bloodmoon.”

Sun felt a jolt run through him, not expecting that answer. He definitely didn’t know how he felt about the unexpected validation for his past actions.

“What, too soon?” Eclipse said, his tone edging between caution and playfulness.

“I don’t want to talk about that.” Sun replied, his voice going even quieter.

“Pfft, fine.” Eclipse huffed behind him. “You’re all sparkly clean now. Either lay back and relax or get out.”

Part of Sun wanted to take the offer and soak in the warm water with Eclipse. But instead he stood and stepped out of the tub, retrieving a towel and drying off. He got his pants and pulled them back on before exiting the room. He returned to the box on the bed, looking in at all the bright little stars. He wondered if Eclipse was right. Maybe when he looked into Solar Flare’s eyes he was just seeing what he wanted to see. Maybe there were no depths behind those bright pupils. Maybe he only made so many stars because he thought that was what Sun wanted him to do, rather than something he was doing freely for fun.

Sun frowned and turned to look at Solar Flare, doing his statue routine and staring ahead. He was such a mystery that it frustrated Sun. He wished he had the ability to hack into the other’s head and see his thoughts. Maybe he really didn’t want for more, or maybe he just didn’t know he could want for more? Well, Sun wanted to give him the opportunity to decide.

He marched back into the bathroom and over to the tub. Eclipse was reclined back and looked truly peaceful, like he was slipping into a light doze. It made Sun feel bad for intruding, but if he didn’t ask now he would lose his nerve.

“You never answered my question.” he said.

“You need more hobbies.” Eclipse grumbled, peeking an eye open at him.

Sun crossed his arms and waited, and Eclipse sighed heavily before sitting up a bit.

“Technically, he can feel most things. He has the most sensation in his hands, for obvious reasons. I wanted him able to handle delicate lab equipment, and you can’t do that when you can’t feel what you’re doing.”

“But wh-”

“And no, he can’t feel anything between his legs. There’s your answer.”

“Wh-Why not?” Sun felt awkward asking but he wanted to know.

“Honestly, because when I built him, that was the last thing on my mind.” Eclipse said. “And then when I made his alterations, I didn’t see that extra detail as necessary. It already took weeks to make those things.” he waved toward the drawer where the dildos were kept. “And getting his fingers to vibrate was tricky. I just didn’t bother with anything else after that.”

“Is it…possible though?”

Eclipse hummed thoughtfully. “It should be. He’s a very basic machine, but he does have all the right wiring inside. It just isn’t connected to anything.”

Sun wanted to ask Eclipse why he didn’t give Solar Flare sensation down there. It felt so unfair and selfish. Solar Flare wasn’t just a sentient sex doll! It made Sun angry, but before he could open his mouth Eclipse flicked water at him.

“Now go away and let me have some peace ‘n quiet.”

Sun sighed and left him alone. He picked out another movie to keep the silence at bay, and sat on the bed. He looked through the box again, admiring some of the old pieces Eclipse had made before Sun arrived. Sun still found this secret creative side cute, even though the other tried to deny liking such things. Solar Flare didn’t deny it. He openly showed his curiosity and enjoyment of such silly useless things like drawing cats or making stars. And Sun wanted to see more of that. He wanted to watch Solar Flare open up and become more reactive, instead of always remaining so stoic.

And of course because Sun’s mind hated him, it brought back up the image of those eyes like rings of burning fire. Sun admitted to himself that maybe he wanted to see that again. He wondered what it would be like to have Solar Flare be more…receptive, during intimate activities together. His face heated a little, and he pushed those particular thoughts back before they got him flustered. He closed the box and put it on the floor, and focused on watching the movie while purposefully not looking out to where Solar Flare stood. He felt like he was being watched but didn’t want to look and see if he was right.

Eventually Eclipse emerged, dry and dressed. Instead of going to his desk, he walked into the bedroom. He scoffed at the movie playing.

“You and your cartoons.” he said with an air of disgust.

“It’s not like we have many options.” Sun replied. “Don’t you dare put on Aliens. I’ll snap that disc if you do.”

Thankfully Eclipse didn’t call his bluff. He just sat beside Sun, bouncing a bit on the mattress and listening to it creak and groan.

“I hate this thing.” he said. “It feels like laying on a lumpy rock. The floor is better.”

And he wasn’t wrong. The bed was obviously very old. Some of its metal springs had collapsed, creating little dips here and there. But Sun didn’t want to open his mouth and admit that it was pretty similar to his own bed back home. He had a thin mattress that lay on an old metal bed frame a lot like this one. It didn’t creak and shift like this one, but it was close enough that Sun could rest easily on the familiar surface.

He was pulled from his thoughts when Eclipse pushed him onto his back. He lay flat on the bed, one leg hanging over the edge. Eclipse then lay on top of him, his metal head clacking lightly as it settled against Sun’s chest.

“Much better.” Eclipse said.

“I’m pretty sure I’m more uncomfortable to lay on than the bed.”

“Shut up.”

Sun just smiled and went back to watching the movie. His hands idly roamed across Eclipse’s back, moving up toward the other’s head. He started playing with the rays that were close to poking him in the eyes. It felt kind of strange to touch rays that weren’t his own. None of his siblings had them, and he was always the one who had his rays touched and fidgeted with by everyone. It was always slightly annoying but now he could see the appeal. There was something oddly soothing about it.

He half-expected Eclipse to bat away his hands, but instead Eclipse slowly settled over him. He could feel the other’s hands down by his waist, picking at his ruffled skirt. They lay in quiet for several minutes before Eclipse let out a long sigh.

“Alright, fine.” he said. “I’ll start working on letting Solar Flare really join in on the fun. But only because you implied I couldn’t do it.”

“I really didn’t-”

“Yes you did. And I took it personally.”

Eclipse then pushed up onto his elbows. One arm came up, and in Eclipse’s hand was a crumpled star. Sun must have missed it earlier. Eclipse let it fall flat onto Sun’s chest, watching it slide down and go over the edge.

“Are those actually supposed to be for luck?” Eclipse asked.

“Um, some people think so.” Sun answered.

“Well, we’ll be needing all the luck we can get.” Eclipse said, his voice going quiet.

“Why?”

Eclipse looked at Sun, and then moved further up his body. He laid back down, his face now laying in the crook between Sun’s neck and shoulder.

“Don’t react to what I say.” Eclipse said, barely audible.

Sun blinked and forced himself to keep staring at the tv like normal.

“I’m gonna start working on Solar Flare, and a secret little side project. The thing with Solar Flare actually works as a great cover. Good thinking on your part, Sunshine. I can’t explain things in detail yet. For now, you’ll have to trust me. We’re not staying in this fucking cage forever.”

Sun kept breathing and blinking.

“Don’t tell Solar Flare any of this. As far as he knows, I’m working on something for him, and nothing else.”

Sun was filled with so many questions. What was Eclipse planning? Why couldn’t they tell Solar Flare about it? Surely he didn’t want to be trapped either. Earlier he’d even admitted to wanting to go back to the main bunker. Surely that meant he wasn’t happy here.

But Sun didn’t voice anything, he didn’t make any motion. He just watched the movie and silently went back to playing with Eclipse’s rays. Eclipse slowly relaxed again under his touch, the tenseness in his frame melting away until he was laying his full weight over Sun. He didn’t move, and after a while Sun realized he must have fallen asleep. He smiled a bit at that. Eclipse must be pretty tired.

Sun watched the credits roll up the screen and thought about quietly asking Solar Flare to put on another movie. But instead he just closed his eyes and listened to the credits music play, floating in a sea of so many thoughts and questions and uncertainties.
