The living room was quiet, Moon working on his tablet quietly as Sun was zonked out on the couch. Sun was sitting straight on the couch, head resting back as he sat manspread, Cadence sitting on his lap as she ate some Cup of Noodles.
The human was silent as she ate, consuming a single noodle at a time. She had said it was because then it felt like there was more food that way, which Sun and Moon both found very cute. She always loved to eat healthy.
It had been about a week since she had cut her hair, and Sun had been ecstatic when he saw her new hairdo, claiming she looked so cute and tough. Then proceeded to dog-pile her as he cooed.
A click resonated through the room, and Moon and Cadence looked up as Eclipse entered, looking tired.
He stopped, however, as he saw Cadence.
"You." He growled, eyes glowing brighter with his rage, "I know where I recognize you." He stormed closer, and she scrambled back, setting her food on the table as she quickly wiggled behind Sun. "You're the little cunt who distracted me and made me lose the bounty on Snagged Hunter years ago." He growled, stopping as she used Sun like a shield.
"And you left a nasty scar when I was trying to escape! SO, I guess we're even." She replied, crossing her arms with a frown.
"You little bitch, I've been trying to remember for WEEKS where I recognized you! Get out NOW!" Eclipse growled, all four hands curling into fists.
She waved at Moon as she got up, darting over to the door and narrowly avoiding Eclipse's swipe at her.
Silence fell over the room after she left, and Eclipse sighed as he went over and sat next to Sun, who was still asleep. He is quite the heavy sleeper, after all.
"What happened?" Moon asked softly, setting his tablet down as he looked at Eclipse worriedly.
Eclipse sighed, setting his head in his upper hands. "Years ago, I was on an especially valuable bounty, the bounty in question being Snagged Hunter. Snagged Hunter was an alpha Snaggletooth who killed its own kind for fun, pushing its species to near extinction in some areas." Eclipse started to explain, "Me and that human had encountered each other when we were outside of its cave. She was dressed in camo tactical gear, and she looked surprised to see me. 'Who are you?' She had asked. 'I'm Eclipse, who are you?' I had replied, and she had smiled and simply told me to call her Melodic Angel."
Eclipse sighed, dragging his hands down his face, "We had started to argue, as we both were going after that bounty. We couldn't agree, and she kept saying we should divide it up based on contribution. I wanted it split evenly. Snagged Hunter came out, and we killed it. Well, she killed it. Some kind of food she shot into its mouth, and it died quickly. We started to fight over the head... She got the head, but as she was making an escape, I... gave her a memento of sorts, on her back...."
The room fell into silence, and Moon got up, walked over and hugged Eclipse.
"Thank you for telling me." Moon said softly, and Eclipse hugged him back, tightly.
"For years, I kept thinking about it... I have slight regret over my actions but... I don't think I would change anything except getting there earlier." Eclipse said softly.
"The one who got away." Moon joked, and Eclipse groaned.
