Do you have any Lee!moon crumbs to share? There’s a disappointingly small amount of him getting wrecked for his sassy behavior where I’ve looked (apologies if this seems rude or pushy in any way, you absolutely do not even have to acknowledge this, just curious)
Here’s a short fic I worked on today!! Hope ya like it!
Sass Attack
Summary:
When Moon has a rough day, he accidentally lets it out on his family. His brothers realize this needs to be fixed and quickly, so they alert the expert.
There’s only one way to chase away the grumps and sassiness.
The kids had only just gone home and the day wasn’t quite over yet, but Moondrop felt run down and ragged.
There was still a daycare to clean and patrols to do.
Moon didn’t feel like any of it. He just wanted to lay down and maybe even sleep.
“AAAAAALRIGHTY!” Sun declared getting Moon to jump from the sudden loud proclamation.
“Rrrgh…must you be so loud..” Moon hissed lowly while Eclipse joined them, the eldest tilted his head at Moon while Sun didn’t seem to quite hear him.
“We’ve got a lot of cleaning up to do and we’ll need all hands on deck! Clipsey, I need you to wipe down the craft tables, make sure all supplies are back in their place, and all paint brushes are cleaned!”
“On it~” Eclipse giggled while Moon tiredly shook his head
“Moon! As usual, you’re in charge of cleaning the naptime area! All blankets and pillows in their proper place, wipe down and stack the cots-“
“Want me to get the feather duster out? Put on an apron and sing for the pigeons in the alley to help?”
Sun froze and blinked trying to process what he heard. He looked at his twin, confused.
“What?”
“I didn’t stutter.”
Sun clicked his rays but shook his head a moment later to get the ridiculous statement out of his head.
“Moon this isn’t a time to be silly!”
Moon crossed his arms, raising one hand to mimic the talking motion.
“Moon, meh meh meh meh..”
Sun stared a moment, before placing a hand on his hip.
“Are you making fun of me?”
“I dunno, am I?”
“Moonie!”
“Sunny!”
“Alright alright!” Eclipse stepped between the twins, holding his arms out before they could be nose to nose.
“That’s enough, there’s too much to do for you two to be arguing.”
Moon huffed. “Who said I was arguing?”
Eclipse gave his younger brother a look before sighing.
“Moon, why don’t you go ahead and get your patrols done early. Sun and I can handle things here.”
“But-!” Sun tried to speak but a quiet calm look from Eclipse stopped him.
“Oh..um yeah! You get your patrols done.”
Moon glanced between his brothers but huffed.
“Fine. I’ll be back later.”
While Moon left the daycare, Eclipse watched for a moment to make sure he was gone before taking Sun’s hand.
“Eep! Hey! Clipsey we gotta clean!”
“In a minute, Sunny.” Eclipse promised, waiting for the wire to come down. As he hooked it on, he wrapped his arms around Sun’s torso.
“I wanna tell Mom about Moon’s behavior…I don’t think he’s in the best of moods.”
Sun blinked. “Huh…well, that explains the attitude…”
“Sassier than you.”
“H-Hey!”
Eclipse giggled as they reached the balcony, entering to find the large mass of cream and orange colored fur.
The dragon hound lifted her head and smiled.
“You boys done with yer work already? It’s barely 7 now.”
Sun hurried to greet their mother with a hug, grunting with effort as he tried to give her a big squeeze without much success since he couldn’t get his arms around her.
“Actually we needed to talk to you mom.” Eclipse smiled softly.
Ana leaned down to lick Sun’s rays, earning a squeak and a giggle.
“Everything okay?” Ana asked then, leaning over to nuzzle Eclipse.
“It’s Moon.” Sun frowned lightly while Eclipse hugged her snout.
“He’s not in the best mood today. Acting rather…” Eclipse trailed off to find the right word. Though Sun seemed to have the perfect one.
“Bratty.”
Ana raised a brow.
“That so?”
“The amount of sass exceeds even Sun’s” Eclipse sighed, earning another playful glare from the smaller star.
“I see…well good news is, I know exactly how to cure that.” Ana smirked sitting up then. She gently nudged her two boys.
“You go on and get yer work done. I’ll handle yer brother.”
“Thanks mom, knew you could.”
“See you soon mama!!”
As they went back to clean and finish their nightly chores, Ana got up and stretched before heading out to wait by the doors to the daycare for Moon to return.
The hour passed, Moon didn’t hurry back either. He was in no rush to help clean and he was sure his brothers hadn’t quite finished.
“Alright Sun, I’m ba-AAAACK!” Moon yelped out as he was scooped up the moment he walked past the threshold to the daycare.
“H-hey!” He turned his head seeing Ana holding him by the neck collar like a kitten. “Mom! Put me down!!”
Ana hummed lightly as she carried her screeching bat back up to the loft.
Sun and Eclipse watched for a moment.
“How much trouble do you think he’s in?” Eclipse asked to which Sun giggled.
“You know mom, when she knows any of us needs cheering up, she goes aaaall out!”
“Well, that is true…” Eclipse sighed amused.
Meanwhile in the loft, Ana made her way to her nest and plopped herself down. She kept Moon in her jaws while he squirmed and whined.
“Moooooom! Come on!”
He got a chuckle from her as she laid him in her arms and began licking his face.
“H-hehehey!” He snickered, trying to push her away and suppress the ticklish giggles bubbling up. “What are you doing, I gotta work mom!”
“Nah, yer patrols are done for now and yer brothers are handling things. For now, I heard someone had a case of sassinitis grumptitus~” Ana chuffed.
Moon froze as soon as the end of that sentence left her lips. That’s what their mother called it whenever Sun was being overly sassy. And for some reason, the silly fake disease always got each of them shy and giddy. That reason really being cause they knew what comes next.
“N-no I don’t…” Moon muttered, crossing his arms and looking away. “I don’t know what Sun and Eclipse told you but they’re wrong”
“You don’t?” Ana smirked moving her head so he had to look at her. “You mind if I run some tests to check that?”
Moon looked at her in confusion. “Tests?”
Ana nodded as she gently moved him to lay him comfortably. She hummed as she scanned over him.
“Let’s see…eyes aint nearly as bright as they usually are. This pointy cute lil nose…” she gently grabbed the tip of said appendage between two fingers and wiggled it, Moon snorting lightly.
“Mhm, still cute as ever. Moving on.”
Her paws moved to squeeze his cheeks and stroke the crescent under his jaw, getting a few giggles out of him.
“Myehahaha! Mahaham!”
“That smile isn’t nearly as big as it usually is.”
“Ihihit is toohoohoo!”
“No, it can get so much bigger than this.” Ana smiled as she took Moon’s arms and lifted them above his head to keep them there with one paw.
“But the real telling symptom?” She lowered her head to whisper dramatically.
“Is saying you don’t have it~ and there’s only one cure for it~”
Moon snorted, feeling the anxiety of anticipation bubbling up in his belly. Part of him wanted to give in but the other part…
“Where did you get your medical degree?” He shot with a snicker.
Ana grinned down at him.
“I’ll have you know that I’ve worked hard to be able to spot this sort of thing out just so I can chase it away~”
“Nice dodging the question moAHAHAM AHAHAA H-HEHEY!”
Moon’s snark was cut off when he felt claws scribbling along his left side.
“Hold still now, Moonberry~ gotta get that nasty lil infection out of ya!” The dragon teased as her claws jumped from his left side to his right and back again.
Moon squealed out, squirming side to side in an attempt to avoid the paw to no avail.
“Moon…that’s not staying still baby. I can’t help you if you don’t~”
Ana chuffed holding her paw just above him in a tease
Moon giggle whined, trying to move his torso away, eyes stuck on that menacing paw.
“I-ihihi khkhkhkhcan’t hehehelp ihihit!”
“You caaaan’t~?” Ana sang lowering her paw slightly. “Well guess I’ll just have to keep a good hold of you huh my lil bat?”
Moon let out a squeak, bringing his legs up to try and protect his belly. Ana chuckled.
“Ohh I think that Sass and grumps is trying to stop me. Don’t worry sugastar, I don’t give in so easily!”
Her free paw went right under his right underarm, tickling at the ball joints.
“GYAHEHEHEHE! M-Mahahahaaam!! N-NYAHAHAT theheheheHERE! EEP! Gehehet NYAHAHAHAA PFFFKHKHKHEEGEE GEHEHET AHAHOOHOOUT!”
Moon kicked his legs out, now trying to yank his arms down. Ana had them in a good hold however, her little star being able to only wiggle in place while claws wiggled against the ball joints, every now again grazing the even more sensitive wires that stuck out.
“There we go! Now yer not so curled up! Just what I wanted!”
Moon hiccuped as the tickles slowed, he opened an eye at her.
“Wh-whahat are hic you-youhoohoo hic planning..?” He
Ana’s lips pulled into a playful grin.
“Oh I just needed an opening to chase away that infection…you know what scares it the most?”
Moon snickered and shook his head, the bell in the little star slightly jingling.
“Just a little of….THIS!”
She took a breath and blew a raspberry directly in the middle of Moon’s belly. The naptime attendant’s eyes went wide as a squeal escaped his voice box. He tried arching away from the evil tactic but there was no escape.
“NYAAAAAAHAHAHAHAAA! MAHAHAHAM MAHAHAM NOHOHOHO GYAHAHA ST-STAHAHARZ NAHAHAT THAHAHAT!”
Moon kicked his legs and squirmed as much as he could. He jolted again when Ana released his hands and suddenly began lightly scratching his sides, all while another raspberry was planted over his dent.
Moon couldn’t decide whether or not he wanted to push her paws away or her snout, switching between trying to shove both away while he laughed freely.
“NONONONAHAHAOHOHOHO!! MAHAHAHAMAHAHAAA! GYEEHEEHEEHEE! OHOHOKAY OHOHOKAY PFFTHAHAHA! IM SAHAHARRY IM SAHAHARRIHIHIII! KHHHKHKHKHKHEEE R-RED! REHEHED! IHIHIM FUHUHUHULL!!”
Hearing their go to code, she stopped and let him breathe, chuckling as she nuzzled him.
“Did I get it all~?”
Moon hiccuped and nodded, lifting his arms to hug around her head and nuzzling back.
“Eehehee..hic hehehehee…y-yehehes…you ehehe dihihid…”
Ana smiled and licked the top of his crescent.
“What was up with ya today hm?”
Moon moved to lay against her chest, nuzzling into the soft fur while he gathered his thoughts into words.
“I…don’t know. I don’t have much of an excuse. It was just a really long day, I’ve been tired and just…didn’t feel like it today, I guess.”
Ana nodded.
“That seems to be a common thing with you and yer brother.” She wrapped her paw around him to hold him. Her boys had their moments, their flaws, things that made them more alive than just any other robot.
Moon sighed. “Sorry.”
“I ain’t the one to apologize to hun. That would be yer brothers.”
Moon nodded in understanding. He did give Sun a bit of bite after all.
“Right…I will.”
Then he shrunk back a little shyly.
“This uh…doesn’t replace our bedtime games does it..?”
The dragon hound raised a brow playfully and chortled a bit.
“Not if you don’t want it to. I’m happy to play with you boys whenever you’d like.”
Moon smiled at that and hugged around her face.
“Thanks mom..”
“Of course. Now, go see if yer brothers need anymore help, then we can relax and play. Deal?”
“Deal.” Moon grinned, standing up and heading back toward the balcony.
“See you in a few mom, love you.”
“Love you too sugastar, see ya in a bit.”
Ana smiled and laid her head back down to wait for all three of her boys to return for the night
