Chapter 12: To Lure a Human

Sun jumped on the bed excitedly, jostling Moon. Moon yelped, hurriedly protecting his origami collection he started.

"Sun! What the fuck?" Moon snapped, glaring at his brother.

"What if, what if, what if we invited the human here???" Sun babbled excitedly, jumping up and down on the bed. Moon sighed, collecting all the little origami things he made and dumping them onto his bedside table.

"I doubt she will willingly walk into our living area. We may be friends, but do you think a rabbit would enter a wolves den if invited?" Moon asked, and Sun paused.

"But WE aren't wolves, and she isn't a rabbit!" Sun said proudly.

Moon stood quickly and smacked the back of Sun's head, sending him tumbling onto the bed as Moon said, "It's a figure of speech, numbnuts."

Sun pouted up at his brother, rubbing the back of his neck. "Well, yeah, but like.... She would if we invited her." Moon frowned, crossing his arms. Sun thought for a moment before adding, "We should offer sweets. She wouldn't say no to sweets."

Moon groaned, sitting back down. "Sun, I love you, but you can be a real dumbass sometimes." Moon said.

"Just you watch, I'm going to go bake an organic cake and lure Cadence here with it." Sun huffed, jumping up and leaving their shared bedroom.

Moon rolled his eyes, laying back on the bed and resuming his origami.

Around half an hour later, Moon could smell the sweet smell of a lemon cake being baked, and he smiled.

And around 2 hours after Sun had left, he came back into the room. "Heads up!" Sun exclaimed, and Moon heard a surprised yelp before something heavy landed on him. Moon looked up in surprise to see Cadence laying on top of him, both of them looking surprised.

"Sorry! Sor-sorry!" She stuttered as she scrambled off.

"Oh shit, it actually worked?" Moon stammered as he crawled back, both of them staring at each other awkwardly.

"I'm so smart!" Sun said boastfully, flopping onto the bed and jostling Moon and Cadence. Sun smiling happily, his rays poofing out as he reached over and wrapped his arm around Cadence's waist, pulling her close with a happy hum.

She blinked in surprise as he snuggled her like one would a dog, Sun nuzzling the top of her head with happy giggles.

"Alright, I guess I owe you an apology. I didn't think it would actually work." Moon said begrudgingly, crossing his arms and pouting.

"Don't beat yourself up about it. I love food and jump on the opportunity to get some." She chuckled, looking embarrassed.

"You remind me of chilli and, and, and gummy worms!" Sun exclaimed, aggressively nuzzling the top of her head.

"That's... a good thing, right?" She asked, and Sun nodded in the affirmative.

Sun got up, holding her like a teddy bear and leaving the room for a moment before coming back, still holding her and also now bringing in a little cake with white buttercream. Sun plopped down onto the bed, situating her onto his lap before picking up a fork and getting a bite.

He nudged the bite against her lips as he cooed, "Nom nom, eat the nom nom, tasty nom nom."

She chuckled, reaching for the fork as she said, "I can feed myself, thank you very much."

Sun moved the fork out of her reach as he whined, "But I want to feed you! I want to feed you the cake I made specifically for you!"

She growled softly, frowning. "You aren't gonna budge on this, are you?" She asked.

Sun shook his head as he said happily, "Nope!"

She groaned, rolling her eyes as she opened her mouth and took the bite. Sun perked up, happily getting her another bite.

"Sun, you are so pathetic sometimes." Moon chuckled, and Sun threw a pillow at him.

"Shut up. Nobody asked you." Sun said, not looking up from feeding the human.

Moon rolled his eyes as he caught the pillow, chuckling as he replied, "Alright, alright. Have fun, loser."

Sun huffed, shaking his head but not deigning a response.
