The idea of writing a fanfiction with such a plot came to me back in the summer, but due to some circumstances, I started writing it only at the beginning of winter and I was able to finish it completely only now. Yes, I've been dragging this out for a very long time. Perhaps I will write something else on this topic, but this is not for sure. But I think I have to draw at least something for this fanfiction. In general, have a nice reading!! I apologize in advance, English is not my first language:^

You didn't understand why this was happening at all. How did this happen, why exactly you and many other questions were spinning in your head. These thoughts came to you very often, especially when you saw them.

You weren't even sure when exactly the changes in your life started. When did they first start interacting with you, or did it start even earlier? What are we talking about now? So that's about the fact that creatures suddenly appeared in your calm, measured and lonely life. There were two of them. Their names were Moon and Sun.

***

It was getting dark. The sun was sinking below the horizon and evening was coming. You've been busy in the kitchen for a while now. It's just that at some point you wanted to bake cookies and it was hard to push that thought away, so you just put up with it.

Standing on the balcony of your apartment, you admired the view. A light wind added freshness and allowed you to relax from the heat in the kitchen. It was very calm; the roar of the wind, the rustle of leaves and some other distant sounds added some kind of melancholic atmosphere.

The sound of the timer on the stove distracted you from your thoughts and you returned to the kitchen without closing the balcony door. Putting on the oven mitts, you took out a baking tray with cookies and put it on the table. This pleasant sweet smell spread very quickly and you wanted to eat, but unfortunately the cookies had to cool down. To pass the time, you cleaned up the kitchen after your cooking and made yourself some tea. Just by this time, it had cooled down and you put some cookies on a saucer, took it and a mug and returned to the balcony.

All alone, you stood there eating your makeshift snack, watching the view and what was happening outside. When you finished, you washed the dishes and decided that that was enough for today and started getting ready for bed. Entering the room, you took your pajamas and went to the bathroom, closing the door behind you. Turning on the water, you undressed and went into the shower by this time the water was already heated. After a few minutes of standing underwater, something bothered you. There was a feeling that something was wrong. It took you a minute to figure out what it was. Clatter. It sounds like some kind of animal with claws walking on the floor. But you don't have any pets. In a moment, you were overwhelmed by a wave of fear and not knowing what to do.

Ohh.. You didn't close the door to the balcony, maybe it was a bird that flew in and now makes such a sound? Most likely. You didn't want to think that a bird would hardly make such clear and audible sounds with its small paws.

Turning off the water and drying off and getting dressed in a hurry, you went to the door and leaned your ear against it trying to listen to the sounds behind it. Hearing nothing, you overcame your fear and deliberately abruptly opened the door. No one. But...The door to your bedroom was open, but you were closing it. Slowly and reluctantly, you went to the doorway and forced yourself to look into the bedroom, fortunately you did not turn off the light. Again, no one.

Walking slowly around the house and looking into places where someone can hide, you made sure that no one is here except you. Apparently, because of the shower, you thought you heard it happen. But just in case, before returning to the bedroom, you closed the balcony door. In bed, after sitting on the phone for a while, you were able to calm yourself down and be able to feel sleepy. After getting comfortable, you lay down on your side, facing the wall, you tried to fall asleep and just a couple of minutes later you were already quietly snoring.

***

But your dream didn't last long. You were woken up by someone knocking. In the beginning, you didn't understand this, but the realization completely washed away your sleepy state. Something is tapping on the window. You didn't want to turn around, anything but that, even though you felt eyes on you. It's all a dream. Nightmare. You tried to calm yourself down and be quiet. You didn't move an inch, maybe you forgot to breathe at times, but that's not what you were thinking right now. You never thought that you would find yourself in a situation that you often read in various horror stories. Oh, how you wish this was really a bad dream. But the sensations were too real.

As in all such horror stories, after a couple of hours you passed out without noticing it. In the morning, when you woke up, you jumped out of bed as fast as you could and, resting your back against the wall, rolled down it, but immediately getting up, you went to the kitchen, you did not want to be in the bedroom. The morning gentle light illuminated the kitchen and here you began to feel calmer, the night began to look surreal. You sat down on a chair and raised your knees, hugging them to you, you buried your head in them, you wanted some kind of comfort. It felt like about half an hour had passed and only then did you decide that you needed to start the day. Lowering your feet to the cool floor, you wanted to return to the previous position again, but you froze when your gaze fell on the table. The baking tray that had been left standing since yesterday was empty. There were no cookies. Not a single thought explaining this situation has occurred to you.

You got up and quickly looked around the kitchen, mentally hoping that you would find nothing or no one. At the same time, you checked the door to the balcony, which was closed. You decided to go back to the bedroom.

When you entered the bedroom, the first thing you did was look at the window and the memories from the night instantly returned to you. You went to the window and pulled back the curtains. There were footprints on the window. The fear has returned to you again. Not understanding what you were doing, you touched the trail. The trail is blurred. That meant only one thing. What was knocking on your window was in the bedroom, not outside.

***

It was from that day that changes began in your life. Immediately after you realized that everything that happened could not be fully explained, you wanted to leave as soon as possible, but there was a problem. You had no place to go. There would not be enough finances to rent at least some housing for a while, your relatives live too far away, and here in this city you have no one to turn to for help. And then you felt helpless.

All you could do was live like you used to. And at first it worked because nothing happened after that day, but as soon as a week passed, something frightening started happening again. You woke up in the middle of the night with the realization that someone was knocking on the window again and feeling a gaze burning through your skin. There were always some extraneous sounds, some of them could be explained, but not a quiet laugh when you hit your head because of your clumsiness and when you turned to the source of the sound, it seemed to you that something flashed in the doorway.

All this scared you and harassed you. Searches on the Internet about similar situations did not lead to anything; all you found were some kind of horror stories. Maybe everything that happens to you is a punishment for your love of horror? The only thing that made you happy was that you were still alive. There was no doubt that something was living in your apartment anymore, but you didn't know for what purpose this something came to you and the first thing that came to mind was that his goal was to lime you and eat you. With each passing day, this something grew bolder and bolder, and at some point you realized that this was not one thing, there were two of them.

***

It was already, to some extent, the norm for you that something was constantly flashing in front of you. Then a clawed hand will turn into the room, then some silhouette will slip right in front of you, then pupils will be visible from the darkness that look directly at you without blinking. But that day, or rather at night, you woke up because you were scared. In the beginning, you didn't even understand why, especially since no one was knocking on the window, but rising up on your elbows, you saw the open door to your bedroom and two creatures were looking at you from a dark gloomy opening.

You froze in a stupor, you didn't know what to do, it seemed to you that this was the end. This time, the curtains on the window were not closed because of this, the moonlight did not block anything from which you could see the heads of these creatures. One of them had white eyes and around his head were some kind of appendages resembling the rays of the sun. The second one had red eyes and a hat with stars on his head. But the first thing you noticed was their sharp teeth, which they showed in their wide smile.

After a moment, the creatures realized that you were looking at them and even saw them, they abruptly recoiled back into the darkness, making a sound like surprise. Not knowing what to do, you stayed in one position and stared at the door for a while. Having plucked up the courage, you abruptly jumped up, closed the door and very quickly returned to bed. After that, the night was calm.

***

You thought maybe they were scared off by the realization that you saw them because nothing unusual happened after that night. Your life has become normal again. You even started to be happy about it, but it was too early and after a couple of weeks they came back and became even bolder. They weren't afraid to show you even a glimpse. You were able to see them completely past their faces. They were very tall and thin, their appearance resembled the sun and moon, and their clothes looked like they were jesters.

You started to hear them. They could laugh at anything, hiss, growl, and sometimes they even talked. One of them, whom you called Sun in your head because of his resemblance to him, was the first to say the word and it was your name. It no longer surprised you that he somehow recognized him. After a while, you learned to distinguish which one of them is speaking. They allowed themselves to touch you. You could wake up to someone slowly running their claws over your skin and it gave you goose bumps. You pretended to be asleep at times like this, but they seemed to realize that you were awake anyway, they started giggling and then left.

After a while, you noticed that they changed their behavior. In the beginning, they scared you and did everything to make you tense, but now they're just bullying you a little bit. No one else knocked on the window, pretended to be running down the corridor after you, turned off the lights and much more that they had done before, all this stopped or decreased. But there were other actions on their part. You felt their eyes on you almost constantly. Previously, this feeling was not so much, but now it was as if you were under close supervision. This feeling especially appeared when you were doing something; you were doing your hobby, cooking or cleaning. Maybe they liked studying you?

One day you fell asleep on the couch watching a movie that was very boring, but you wanted to distract yourself somehow, so you just kept watching it. And when you woke up in the afternoon, you noticed that you were wearing a blanket that was clearly from your bed and you didn't bring it. You understood who did it, but you didn't understand why. Their behavior changes didn't end, they started talking to you purposefully. A little short, but to talk. And it started with the fact that you no longer understood absolutely what was happening right now and asked the question out loud. "What the hell do you want from me??". Sun laughed at your question and, after being silent for a couple of minutes, replied, "You, silly."

***

Well, maybe at least the fact that they didn't hurt you or try to kill you is already good? Despite this, you were still scared, but not so much anymore, but still. After all this time, they have become a part of your life. Once, at your own risk, you asked if they would mind that you would address them as "Sun" and "Moon" and in response you found out that that's their name. Well, now you can consider yourself a fortune teller.

You noticed that sometimes some food could go missing and putting two and two together, you guessed who was doing it and began to buy something specifically for them and leave it in a prominent place in the kitchen. Later, you even heard words of gratitude from them. Sometimes you could find something that didn't belong to you and when you were about to throw it away, Sun stopped you saying that these were gifts for you. Out of tact, you decided not to ask where they got them.

You might have noticed from sleep that someone lay down on your bed next to you, occasionally it was felt from both sides. When you bathed for a long time, one of them, more often Moon did this, scratched at your locked door. You felt them touching you when you couldn't look at them. They also took care of you.

You had a migraine and the pill didn't help at all. You didn't know what to do at all. It's impossible to fall asleep, it's impossible to do anything, it's impossible to distract yourself, and so you lay curled up in a ball in the dark hoping that you would either fall asleep or the pain would pass, but through all this you felt a cold hand touching your head very uncertainly at first and without receiving your negative reaction it completely covered and began massaging and stroking your crown. A few minutes later, you heard the singing of a lullaby, or something remotely similar to it. It was Moon. It was his voice. You mentally thanked him and tried not to move so as not to scare him off.

After a long day, you returned home terribly tired, but knowing that you needed to clean up the kitchen was a mess and it infuriated you and it was already impossible to tolerate it. Having taken off your shoes and changed your clothes, you went into the kitchen and stood in the doorway in a stupor. The kitchen was clean. The dishes are washed, everything is in its place, the floor is not dirty, there is not even dust. Still in some confusion, you mumbled a short thank you, to which you heard the joyful Sun’s laughter.

Maybe having monsters in your house isn't so bad.

Surprisingly, they answer your questions quite willingly, there are some that they do not want to touch on and ignore them or answer dryly, but there are not that many of them.

So you found out that they wandered for a long time before becoming your "neighbors", that they did not want to kill you or harm you in any way, that they were not demons and what happened in the beginning was their jokes and a little mockery of you. It was very funny (no).

But you didn't get any answers to your questions about their nutrition, why they stayed in your house and who they are in general. Well, okay, you didn't want to insist on their answers for your own good.

But one incident introduced you to them more closely and made you understand what kind of situation you are in.

***

It was weird. Getting ready for a date. This is not a common thing for you. It felt like it wasn't happening to you. Here you are choosing an outfit for yourself, here you are thinking about whether it is worth wearing makeup at least a little or maybe not at all, doing something with your hairstyle and the like. One person met you once and after a while suggested that you go on a date and then, being in a good mood, you agreed, thinking that it was worth trying because nothing bad would happen to you from this.

It was difficult or maybe impossible to find out exactly when your "neighbors" were not at home. But when you started your gathering, you didn't hear any sounds, questions or anything else, and you decided that they weren't there and you were glad because it was somehow awkward to do this in front of them. And when you were spinning in front of the mirror to see yourself, you heard a surprised sigh and the question "And why are you dressed up like that?". You didn't expect someone to show up, jumped up and tried to recover from the fright, "Me decided that it wouldn't hurt to go on a date". Silence. Very loud silent. "Guys?" you were puzzled by this reaction. "And who are they?" Moon's question has strained you a little. "My friend with whom we've been talking for a while, why you ask?" You really didn't understand why they were so interested in it. "And do you like them?" they kept asking questions. "I do not know, they are cute in terms and may like them later. Why are you asking me questions like this?" You didn't like these questions. "What if we say you're not going anywhere?" There was a threat in Moon's tone. “What? Why? This is my life and I do what I want." Already fully assembled, you headed for the door, but right in front of your face it slammed shut, which made you jump back and fall to the floor. "Because you are ours," they said in unison and the lights went out all over the house.

Oh, how you didn't like it and made you experience that old fear that you felt at the very beginning when you met them. The door opened with a nasty creak and you saw Moon standing there, for the first time you saw him completely hiding behind something.

He looked at you and didn't move, and when you tried to get up, he abruptly appeared next to you and sat you back down next to him. At that moment, you felt the feeling of cold hands on your shoulders and turned around and saw Sun smiling broadly at you. "Ohh..starshine, we finally met in a normal way, and not hiding" from Sun’s words were so full of joy, but when you felt his hands squeeze your shoulders so hard that you could already feel his claws digging into your skin, it wasn't so fun, but actually it wasn't at all, he continued to speak "it's a pity that under such circumstances.." his venomous words rang right in your ear, from which you would have recoiled if not for his grip. The hand that appeared on your leg made you look at its owner, who grinned at your action, his red eyes are staring at you. He squeezed harder, "I imagined our meeting differently, but circumstances forced us to act like this." You turned your head to the side hoping that it was a nightmare, you squeezed your eyes shut. "Oh? Is Starlight afraid of us? And we tried so hard for you to stop doing it, it's a pity that you have to do everything from the beginning." you didn't understand whether you felt sincere pity or sarcasm in Sun’s voice, maybe both at once. "Starshine.." he stretched out the word. "Come on, look at us.."with his free hand, he took you by the chin and turned you around to face him. Deciding not to annoy him, you opened your eyes, which already had tears welling up. "Starlight, we don't want you to cry because of us," Sun said with genuine sadness and changed his position, no longer holding your shoulders, but hugging them, clinging to you with his whole body. You took a chance and asked them, "Then what are you doing?". They were silent for a while and Moon replied, "We decided to remind you that we are monsters, that we will not tolerate anyone else but you. We have claimed you and that means that you are ours." You felt like Sun was literally barely sitting in place from behind, and apparently unable to restrain himself, he began stroking your head with one hand in a barely audible whisper, he said "finally.." Trying to control yourself, you asked "What does yours mean?". Moon, as if annoyed by this question, replied, "Ours is what it means that ours is. Do you think we didn't just eat you? We knew you even before we started showing ourselves in your house." His words shocked you. "Did you think that we were kind monsters? Oh no starlight, we often went out to find someone to satisfy our hunger and came back to you. And we protect both your home and yourself." More and more information received made you feel so much fear that it seemed that you would lose consciousness. "Just get over it, we won't get rid of you. You just can't have any close relationships with people, that's all. We don't ask too much." Sun immediately after Moon’s words added, "more precisely, we don't ask, this is what you have to do." Everything couldn't be good and here it is your payback for being "friends" with monsters.

This situation ended with you being forced to change your clothes and be ready for bed. All this time, they no longer hid, they seemed to like it very much. You did everything automatically, but adrenaline in your blood did not want to leave, you were still very scared. When you came out of the bathroom, you were picked up in arms, which made you squeal briefly. Sun laughing went into your bedroom where Moon was already lying on your bed and laid you down and lay down himself. They both hugged you from both sides and wished you good night. You were silent and afraid to move, you didn't think you'd fall asleep, you felt them looking at you and it was unnerving. But despite this, after a while the feeling of fear went away and fatigue came to replace it, from which you turned off.

After that day, they didn't stop hiding completely, but they still showed up periodically. But now you were afraid of them. You couldn't react positively to their actions. It was difficult when you paid attention to the fact that Sun still had blood on his teeth, and the smell of iron came from Moon.

***

One day you decided to make some kind of attempt to get rid of them. How did they get here? Through the open balcony door. Periodically they go hunting. So when they're gone, you just have to close everything, right? You decided to give it a try.

You made sure they weren't there by calling them by name while walking around the apartment. It was night now and apparently they had gone out, especially since the window and door were open. With quick movements, you closed everything and drew the curtains. And deciding to wait for what would happen, she returned to the bedroom and climbed into bed.

A few hours later, you heard a knock on the window on the balcony. Immediately after cleaning up what you were doing, you lay down and tried to pretend to be asleep, just in case. The knocking did not stop, but only increased. After a few minutes, you could tell that the window was being hit very hard, but not too hard to break it. And suddenly there was a lull.

The knock came already at your window, which you also closed with curtains. After knocking for a while, the sound faded again.

Thinking that maybe it was finally over, there was a crash on the balcony. Apparently, the window was broken and now they are trying to break the balcony door.

In order not to cause trouble for yourself, you jumped out of bed and went to the door to open it, it's better that way than it gets broken, so you'll get it too, because it's unlikely that they would believe that you didn't wake up from such a roar.

As soon as you appeared in the hallway, the sounds stopped. Trying to hide your fear, you turned on all your acting skills to show that you had just woken up and walked to the door. After opening it, you were literally nailed to the wall, from which you squeezed your eyes shut and turned your head away. "And what do you think you're doing?" Moon's reproachful voice rang out. "Sleeping?" trying not to betray your fear, you replied. "Why did you close everything?" he said, still angry. "I don't know? I didn't even pay attention to it. It got cooler, so I closed it without thinking about the fact that you are not in the house." You tried to deceive him. Moon calmed down at the same moment and loosened his grip on you, apparently remembering that you do not know how to understand that they are here or not. "Don't do that anymore, if the window and door are open, then one of us is hunting," he explained. You were still tense, but the fact that you were able to outwit him made you happy, which allowed you to start breathing calmly.

Moon, without saying anything, took your hand stroking it with his thumb and led you into the bedroom. You did not resist away from trouble and followed him, mentally thinking about how much a broken window would cost you and how Sun would react to this situation.

***

Despite their bad sides and many other problems, you liked their care for you, their good deeds done for you, their company. The choice to accept them or continue to try to expel them is yours. Good luck:)
