Chapter 14: Getting off on the Wrong Foot

Sun giggled happily, nuzzling Cadence's head as he fed her some mashed potatoes. Moon smiled, leaning against Sun's side.

The two large brothers were sitting on their couch, Cadence sitting between them. It has become almost a tradition for Cadence to come over to their house once a week, and Sun would feed her something.

Usually he baked sweets, but not always.

"Ya know, I've been thinking. I've known ya both for maybe half a year, give or take." She started, taking a sip of her water, "And strangely enough, I don't feel scared of you two anymore. Not really. I feel comfortable enough to get close enough. I feel comfortable enough to let you give me food without suspicion."

Sun and Moon glanced at each other with a hum. She continued, "I'm actually happy that I was able to get over my initial fear. You two are pretty awesome. While the start with Sun was rocky," She smiled at Sun, who grinned, "I'm glad we were able to get past that. I'm going to be real, I... never actually thought I would get comfortable enough with you two that I would actually like, cuddle with y'all? Would snuggle or cuddle be more accurate?" She chuckled, shrugging as she leaned back more into the couch.

"Well I am very glad that you trust us." Sun said happily, nuzzling the top of her head.

Sun and Moon looked up as a click resonated through the room, meaning the first of two doors to enter was opened. A moment later, the door they could see opened, and their big brother Eclipse walked in.

12 feet tall and in shades of black and orange, with four eyes and arms, and two layers of firey red and black frills adorning his round head, he was intimidating. His orange eyes alit on the two brothers snuggling the human woman on their couch, and his eyes narrowed.

"Who. Is. This." He growled, his voice deep and rumbling.

"You're here! A week early...." Sun said with a nervous smile, feeling Cadence become stiff in his arms.

Eclipse stomped over, snarling as he demanded, "Why is this blasted human here? Has she brainwashed you? What has she done?" One of his four arms grabbed her upper right arm and wrenched her up.

"Ouch dude!" She exclaimed as he dragged her out, throwing her out. "Fuck you!" She cursed as he slammed the door in her face, proceeding to close the second door as he looked at his brothers worriedly.

"My sweet Sunny, are you alright? She didn't hurt you did she? You remember your name?" Eclipse said worriedly, cupping Sun's face and turning it this way and that.

"Clipsie, I'm fine! She didn't hurt me! Look, she's not like other humans, she's actually nice!" Sun exclaimed, trying to pull back but Eclipse engulfed him in a hug.

"No no no, I would believe that if the human were a male, but that was a female, no doubt about it. Human females are dangerous, using their charms and looks to get whatever they want!" Eclipse said, gently patting Sun's back, "I know Moon wouldn't fall for such tricks so easily. You were always the hopeless romantic of the two."

"I'm fine, I swear! Look, she isn't trying to get anything from us, she avoided us at first!" Sun replied, sighing as he hugged his brother back.

"As she should." Eclipse said with a sniff.

"She's actually very nice, you know. At first, she avoided us. But SOMEONE wouldn't leave her alone. And.... well.... she's kind of cute." Moon said, not looking up from his tablet, starting to blush slightly.

"Don't worry, I'll protect you. I'm your big brother, I need to ensure that neither of you fall for any dirty tricks." Eclipse cooed, gently stroking the top of Sun's head.

"She's not evil! She's actually really nice." Sun exclaimed, pouting.

"Nonsense, that is exactly what she wants you to believe. Everyone knows all female humans are biologically designed to be cute and desirable, it helps them with their tricks. Poison is a woman's weapon, combat is a man's." Eclipse said, letting go of Sun and walking into their kitchen, starting to cook something.

Sun huffed, pouting as he crossed his arms and plopped onto the couch.

"Don't worry, he'll see eventually." Moon said, sipping his drink as he continued working on his tablet.

"He better...." Sun muttered.
