Work Text:
Sun was humming along to one of the Freddy Fazbear Christmas SongsTM. A Great way to get into the holiday spirit after all!
He was working away at one of the many, many, MANY gifts he had planned for allllllll their friends! Yes, yes, yes! And everywhere else but the daycare had Christmas carols looping sooooo...he thought he'd join in as well.
Completely absorbed into all his little ideas for his project and simply enjoying the tune of 'Map bot the red-nosed STAFF bot' it took Sun a good bit to realize he hadn't heard anything from Moony in a bit.
Moon wasn't asleep in their headspace, he could still feel in waaaaaaayyyyyy, way, way in the far recesses of the shared space, they were active but not actively watching or keen on engaging with Sun.
Hmm...
Maybe Moony just wanted some time to himself, and that's ok!
They can be so secretive around any kind of holiday where gifts are exchanged, wanting to keep Sun from finding out prematurely or...getting too excited about gifts for others and spoiling surprises on accident occasionally.
Not thinking much of it, he continues humming and working away.
He eventually starts quietly saying the words to the carols aloud, not exactly singing them just saying them with a tune as he is...a terrible singer, not that it stops him from having fun when he does try anyways!
As he gets to the song 'Carol of the Pizza' He hears a drawn-out tired groan of despair.
Pausing his work, searching their headspace for the other, still tucked away deep in 'solitude'. “Moony...?” He calls into the digital space.
” ...no more...please Sun, no more...“ Moon rasps pleadingly in a whisper.
A bit alarmed, Sun focus is completely pulled into making sure Moon is ok.
”A-are you ok Moony? Is something wrong? No more what?“ Sun questions, words becoming more and more anxious
“...the carols.” Moon answers.
All the anxiety that was growing in Sun comes to a halt from how thrown off he is by that answer.
“The...carols?” Sun questions, baffled.
“Yessssssss...” Moon hisses out.
”I hate the company carols, they're just so...“ Moon trails off making a few vague noises of frustration at not finding the words to express WHY they hate the companies carols so much.
”Oh.“ Sun pauses, thinking over what Moon said. ”But...I thought you liked Carols Moony?“
”Yesssss...the classssssics...not the...cheap imitationsssss“ He drawls in mild annoyance as they pull themselves from the depths of their mindscape.
Moon plays a recorded file of the song 'Carol of the Bells'.
Sun immediately perks up swaying with the music.
”Ohhhh, hoh-ho! It really is different! Hmm...I still like the companies Carols because they include our friends! But I can play this instead for now Moony!“ Sun chirps.
”But you sounded like a bit of a 'grinch' there Moony!“ Sun giggles.
Moon grumbles he's not a grinch as they relax back into their headspace, watching Sun work as 'Carol of the bells' plays on loop in their head.
