#a daydream away

[simstomaggie]

Grantbury, Castle Swanburg, Evening, Royal Dinner

Happy chatter fills the room.

...: ...and just when I thought all hope was lost, a letter reached me that had just gotten lost...

...: The King of Escon will probably not be in power for much longer, I presume, this useless war has done too much damage...

...: Yes, there is still room on my dance card, but only further down...

Prince Henry: It is so lovely to have you here, Marie, it has been too long.

Queen Marie: I am also glad to be here. I only wish my Fitzwilliam was still here, he always loved the balls here in Grantbury. Is this your first ball, Lily?

Lady Lilian: Yes, Aunt Marie. I was allowed to participate in smaller gatherings at Stark, but never anything like this.

King James: Once you are presented next year, everything will be permitted, little one.

Prince Christian: Psst. Lily. Will you let me have the first dance?

King James: I heard that, Christian. Nothing against the lovely Lilian, but it would not be suitable for you to open the ball with a lady that is not officially in society yet. Please find someone else. I'm sorry, Lily.

Lady Lilian: I understand, uncle.

Queen Marie: There will not be a lack of men who wish to dance with you, Lilian. You should ask one of your cousins to chaperone you so that they do not crowd you...

At the other end of the table.

Prince Alexander: Charlotte, I have known you my entire life, and I don't think I have ever seen you look so cross.

Princess Charlotte: Shut up, Alexander.

Prince Alexander: I am only concerned for you!

Princess Charlotte: Shut. Up.

Lord Ashford: ... and so the Anish south should increase the wheat production for the next year, wouldn't you agree? ... Princess Juliet?

Princess Juliet: ...

Lord Ashford: Your Royal Highness?

Princess Juliet: I'm sorry, Lord Ashford, what were you saying?

Princess Charlotte: (quietly) Stop staring at her, Charles.

Prince Charles: What is going on with all of you? I thought women loved balls and being dressed up?

Princess Charlotte: You clearly have a lot to learn about the female sex, brother.

Princess Valeria: I am so sorry, Adrian, but my dance card is entirely full already. I was accosted by several people during the reception in the hall, so no places are left.

Lord Cambruy: Then I shall look forward to seeing you on the dance floor, Princess.

Princess Valeria: Oh, I don't think you will see me, I shall be dancing in some corner to cover up my horrible dance figures... my governess almost beat me several times...

Lord Cambruy: I certainly doubt that...

To days I was happy and you ruined it with your logical arguments.

Let me elude myself into the moment and absorb the happiness of now. I wouldn’t want to be enlightened about the tomorrows as I am walking through the today’s saffron glow of sunsets.

moon was being more irate than usual.

well... 'irate' wasn't exactly the right word. he was just... quieter and tended to grumble more to himself when he thought you weren't listening or around. at first you figured he was just going through one of those phases of his where he preferred to observe the things around him for extended periods of time. or maybe he was thinking back to his time at the plex, the memories tinged at the edges by the fire that had consumed it whole. either way, you didn't press him and decided to just... leave him be.

you thought giving him some space would help him and eventually let him snap out of whatever funk he was in. but it only seemed to make him worse, and you had no idea why.

you didn't want to invade into his space and demand him to let you know what was wrong. it would only drive him further away, and you were all too familiar with how easy it was for him to avoid you in your own home. you didn't want to ask sun what was wrong either, as moon would definitely immediately know of your prying and would probably get upset.

so you just... continued on as normal. after all, chores needed to be done and bills needed to be paid.

and maybe that was the wrong thing to do. maybe it just made things build up and up and up until moon was overflowing in whatever had plagued him all this time.

you were woken up, one night, by a bright red light that shined directly onto your face.

you squinted up, blinking slowly as the light coalesced into two eyes with white pupils that stared down at you from above. moon's face was directly over yours, hovering not too close, but not too far either. you lifted a hand to rub at your right eye, mind sluggishly trying to catch up with what had just occurred.

"moon," you sleepily mumbled, still trying to adjust to the light, "wuzz wrong? why'd you wake me up?"

he didn't say anything, just continued to stand crouched over your figure laying in bed. you could barely make out his figure, with how dark it was. his nightcap dangled from the side of his faceplate, the bell at the end brushing lightly against your cheek. you waited a few seconds, then pulled up your blanket further to bury yourself into it. "moon, c'mon, you know i have work in th'mornin'."

you had full intentions to go back to sleep, but he didn't let you get comfortable. as soon as you'd closed back your eyes, he reached out a hand and gently shook your shoulder. you jerked back awake and gave him a look that you're not sure translated well through your sleepiness. it got him to finally speak, though.

"wake up," he whispered, giving your shoulder another small shake. you groggily blinked at him, confused. "...spend time with me."

"wuh?" you eloquently asked, then slowly blinked yourself awake once you realized how unhappy he looked. you slowly sat up. he leaned away to give you some space and you turned your body so you could face him better as he crouched down by the side of your bed. "what's wrong?" you asked again softly, as though any louder might scare him away or cause him to lock up.

he didn't answer, just reached out a metallic hand so he could hold onto your much warmer one in a tight grip. you gently used your other hand to touch the edge of his faceplate, tilting it up so he could meet your gaze.

"hey," you said gently, "tell me what's wrong. i can't help you if you don't say anything."

moon watched you for a moment, then directed his gaze back to your hand and let his thumb swipe across your skin. you let your hand fall from his face to rest in your lap. you waited, and your patience was eventually rewarded.

"you go to work," he started in a low voice tinged with static from his voice box. "you come back. you hang out with sun for hours. you get ready for bed." you tilted your head as he spoke, wondering where he was going with this. he paused for a second, as though collecting his thoughts, then continued. "you take off the lights. you go to sleep after an hour. and i am alone."

you considered his words, then his expression as he focused on avoiding your gaze. the corners of your lips downturned as it slowly clicked together in your mind what he was implying.

"oh," you breathed and moved your free hand so that it rested on top of his. you clutched at it. "i haven't been spending much time with you, huh?"

he grumbled a little and closed his eyes. "sun gets all the awake time with you." his words were no louder than a whisper—an admission he'd been ruminating on for weeks.

"i'm sorry," you said, the realization making something melancholy line your voice. with you being active for most of the day and sleeping for practically all of the night, it never really occurred to you that there would be an imbalance with sun and moon's time spent with you in their individual forms. "i didn't realize... i..." you frowned, then tugged at his wrist. "come here."

you scooted over in bed and lifted up the blanket—an open invitation. he stared at you for a moment, the light of his eyes swathing your bed sheets in shades of ruby. then carefully, so very carefully, he slipped in beside you and lay there stiffly as you covered the both of you with the blanket and cozied up closer to him.

you rested your head on his metal shoulder. it was hard, but it didn't bother you for now. you let out a deep breath and wrapped one of your arms across his chest. "i promise i'll spend more time with you, okay?" you told him quietly, eyes already closed as you readied yourself to sleep again. you were tired, and there wasn't anything you could do at the moment other than reassure him. "we'll turn the lights off early and close the curtains. how's that sound?"

moon hummed and seemed to accept his fate for the night as he used one of his arms to pull you closer. "okay..." he'd been sated, it seemed, and he finally relaxed into the softness of your mattress. something cold pressed to the top of your head. "...good night, love."

you smiled. "good night, moon."

I don't make the rules but - if you don't get excited at the thought of going back and re-reading the story you wrote then you're writing the wrong story.

You are your first and most important reader.

#the way I got into my bed one night and was awake and anxious at 2 AM and decided to open my story on my phone and read it from ch 1 #I was having a blast and didn't want to tear myself away to go to sleep #also been daydreaming about the scenes in this chapter I'm currently writing that may or may not make its way into the actual story #but every day or so I begrudgingly write a few hundred words to get it on paper #and I go back and reread it voraciously until I get to the point where I left off and am like WHERE IS THE REST #so yeah #what is the point of putting words to paper if not to finally indulge in the pleasure of reading and enjoying the scenes we daydream about?

I spent my whole adolescence dreaming about a hot woman aggressively stalking up to me, grabbing me by the front of my shirt and kissing me like a feral animal in a desperate display of passionate love but when Aziraphale had that happen to him in real life HE FUCKING FUMBLED IT.

Royal Ball, Castle Swanburg, Great Hall outside of Ballroom, Evening

(happy murmuring)

Queen Marie: I hope you do not expect me to open the ball with your old sister, James?

King James: Oh yes, I do! I am older than you, so I dare say, you are not too old if I am not. ... But all eyes will hopefully be on Christian.

...: Juliet! Wait. Wait!

Prince Charles: Juliet, my dear! Please, wait for just a moment.

Princess Juliet: Forgive me, Charles. But I am in haste, as you see, my Papa is all the way at the front, and I am sure I, or both of us, as a matter of fact, are needed there.

Prince Charles: I am certain our papas will survive without us for just a small moment.

Prince Charles: Whatever is the matter with you? You have been in a trance all evening. Are you quite well?

Princess Juliet: I am not. Perhaps I should excuse myself and retire, perhaps I will feel better in the morning.

Prince Charles: I had hoped you would celebrate the end of the war with me. Will you not let me have the first dance? Perhaps some music and dancing will make you feel better?

Princess Juliet: Perhaps...

Princess Juliet: Perhaps we should enjoy each other's company while we can.

Prince Charles: Whatever does that mean?

Princess Juliet: That is something I need to speak to you about.

Prince Charles: I also have something I wish to discuss with you. Dance with me. And afterwards, we will step onto the balcony, and we will speak what is in our hearts.

Princess Juliet: As you wish.

Prince Charles: It will be my honor to be accompanied by the most beautiful woman in the kingdom.

Princess Juliet: (sighs and laughs) Do not flatter me, Charles.

(Christian hums nervously.)

Prince Christian: (to himself) No, no, no, no... not her... not her...

... : Are you quite well, my Prince?

Prince Christian: I am, thank you, Lady...

... : Lady Sibyl, Your Royal Highness. We have met at my Father's estate, he is the Marquis of Greyson.

Prince Christian: Of course, Lady Sibyl. I remember, you and your sisters were kind enough to show me the gardens.

Lady Sibyl: That is right, Your Royal Highness.

Prince Christian: Where are your sisters and father, Lady Sibyl? Surely, you are not here by yourself?

Lady Sibyl: Well, my sisters were taken ill, and my brother and father stepped outside after dinner, and have not yet returned, so... I am afraid I will have to enter the ballroom by myself.

Prince Christian: Well, perhaps this is rather a lucky coincidence. You are in need of someone to accompany you into the ballroom, and I am looking for someone to open the ball with me. There could be nobody better suited to this role than you. Will you accept my daring proposal, Lady Sibyl?

Lady Sibyl: (smiles) It would not be proper to deny my prince's request now, would it?

mentions: some predator/prey dynamics dont look at me

“is there a reason why you're following me around?” you asked in amusement as you paused in your trek and glanced up from your phone. with the daycare closed for the night, you had to take inventory to prepare for tomorrow—a simple enough task. only, it was made ever more complicated by a certain lanky shadow that trailed closely after you.

sun's rays spun slightly around his head as he regarded you with upturned eyes and clasped hands. he swayed back and forth on his heels. “none in particular! why?"

“you just seem more energetic than usual.” you shrugged as you fully turned around to eye him. indeed, he was fidgeting more than you'd expected after a long day of dealing with children—a pent up sort of terseness to his limbs.

sun let out a dramatic sigh and held a hand up to his forehead. “you've caught me, dear friend! it seems i simply have not run myself down to the bone today! whatever shall i do to get rid of all this pent up power?” to demonstrate, he did a few cartwheels around you before ending with a one-handed handstand. his free arm waved at you, rays spinning around fast enough that you could feel a small breeze from them.

you huffed and gave him a small push on his chassis. with a little exclamation, he toppled backwards into a flip and righted himself with a jump. “first of all," you said shortly, "you don't have bones.”

sun made a sound like a pssht. “ah, semantics! down to my endoskeleton! is that better?” he skipped around you in that cartoon-like way of his. you followed him, slowly spinning yourself around in a circle to keep him in sight.

“better." you nodded in approval. "secondly—i dunno. i have some time before i need to clock out. we could do something to help you get rid of those extra jitters?”

sun stopped next to you and spun his upper body in a circle, then released a loud hMmm. he lingered close, a hand up to the bottom of his face plate as though in thought. "we could, you're right! let's seeee..." he trailed off, tapping a finger against his face with a clink clink clink as he pondered. "how aboouuttt... tag!" quick as a blink, his hand darted out to tap your shoulder before he skipped off deeper into the daycare with a giddy giggle.

you stared off at him slack-jawed for a moment, then processed his actions as he got further and further away. "hey! at least give a little warning?!"

"where's the fun in that?" sun's voice called out to you from beside one of the large jungle gyms. he had stopped his skipping and waved at you eagerly—impishly. "i don't see you chasing, friend!"

"oh you little—" you growled playfully under your breath, then took off in a jog after him. he watched you encroach with a mischievous grin, and just when you were close enough to reach out and touch his arm, he spun himself fluidly away and skipped off elsewhere.

"gotta be faster than that!" he called cheekily. you huffed and picked up the pace. he peeked over his shoulder at you and squawked out something as he dodged a swipe from your hand. "wOAhahah! close one!"

"suunn," you called out warningly, a grin splayed on your face despite your tone. "get back here!" he only laughed and tossed you a playful wink.

you knew you had no way of actually managing to catch sun, being that he was a robot and you were, well, a human. but it was still fun attempting to. he didn't run, exactly. he just skipped and frolicked about. it was almost annoying how you couldn't catch up. he'd slow down, then speed up right as you were about to reach him. sometimes he'd jump up onto the jungle gyms to fling himself over your head or crawl out of your reach in a manner reminiscent of moon. you hoped it was helping him more than it was helping you—you certainly were starting to feel sweaty with all the running around. eugh.

finally, finally, after what felt like ages of sprinting after him, you managed to tag him with a clever feint to the side.

"tag!" you exclaimed in triumph, then abruptly turned on your heel and bolted away. you didn't bother to linger and see his expression—you knew he'd be able to catch you rather easily. might as well at least try to evade him.

"good job, my dear!" he called after you with a tinge of pride. "here i come!"

you could feel yourself starting to get tired as you ran around one of the larger jungle gyms. but the adrenaline of having sun skipping after you kept you going. you grinned as you glanced behind you to see him merrily making his way over. not too fast, not too slow. just enough that you could slow down a bit and catch your breath.

"are you still feeling pent up?" you yelled over your shoulder as you ran past the ball pit. when he didn't respond, you dared a look behind you. he wasn't there. it made you blink and slow down slightly. "...sun?"

"eyes up front!" a voice hollered and you automatically yelped as you jerked your head back around and just barely dodged his hand. you caught a brief glimmer of white from his eyes before you sprinted off to the side. "ooh! close!" there was something tinging his voice that you couldn't quite make out.

"gotta be faster than that!" you echoed his words from earlier. perspiration was starting to mat your hairline and run down the side of your face. you huffed and looked behind you to see if you could pause for a bit, only to flinch at the sight of sun picking up the pace to run faster after you. something sharp gleamed in the curve of his smile, but you weren't able to get a proper look as you practically flung yourself away.

"frieendd," sun suddenly crooned out in a way that made your stomach drop. a chill ran down your spine. "come heere."

"no thanks!" you panted out and made a sharp turn around a slide. you swallowed heavily, a dryness coating your throat. a stitch was starting to form in your side. "hey, can we take a break? i feel like i'm dying."

no response. you slowed to a stop and looked around you. your heart thrummed a steady beat in your ears, your chest rising and falling rapidly as you attempted to gain control of your breathing. you spun slowly in a circle, trying to see where sun was. nothing. you peered out behind you at the rest of the daycare, but you didn't see a flash of yellow anywhere.

...he could be very quiet when he wanted to. you didn't think you heard a single footstep nor jingle of his bells the entire time you were playing with him. you wiped at your forehead and tried to calm yourself down. the daycare's theme song played merrily through the speakers surrounding the area. it almost made you uneasy.

trepidation lined your figure. you had the urge to call out to him again, but for some reason, you hesitated. there was an odd feeling to the air that hadn't been there before. you swallowed again and decided that maybe— maybe you should... make your way over to the security desk. just in case.

as soon as you took a single step in the direction of it, there was a prickle of the hairs on your nape standing erect. you had just enough time to look above you at one of the jungle gyms before you saw a sharp flash of grey. a shriek left your lips as you ducked down with your hands covering your head, something lunging over your figure and skidding a distance away.

for a moment, you stayed curled up in a crouch, hands trembling over your head as you gazed distantly at the floor. a few strands of your hair drifted gently down, landing lightly on the blue play mat you stood on. you blinked at them blankly. then you looked up.

sun was hunched forward with his hands bracing against the floor, back towards you. there was a twitchiness to his limbs, his head jerking minutely left then right. his torso shifted and moved up and down like he was breathing heavily.

you slowly, very slowly, raised yourself to stand. it felt like you were standing on the edge of a precipice—unsteady and uneasy. sun paused, rays twitching slightly. then he turned around, flexing sharp fingers.

your breath got caught in your throat.

"hello my dear." sun grinned at you with teeth that were sharpened like a razor. pinprick white eyes were zeroed in on you on a backdrop of grey. you took a small step back. "you should run now."
