D’awwww, you’re gonna make me blush ...

As for your request, Mercury and Sun already have a ship name!

They are 88 Days or Silver Compass, and I can most certainly give you something for that!

RWBY Ship Summary #147: 88 Days/Silver Compass

*record scratch* Yep, that’s me. Mercury Black. You’re probably wondering why I’m being carried under the arm of an attractive Faunus man who shares his brain cell with literal water. It’s a very long story.

They’d be chaotic and thief-y together, as all thieves should be.

88 Days/Silver Compass headcanon on how Sun helps with Mercury's redemption?

RWBY Ship Headcannons #72: 88 Days, Redemption Edition!

In the days after Salem's defeat, people are lost on both sides - the villains mostly, Mercury being one of them. Merc gets knocked out and his legs short-circuit, so he's stranded and abandoned by his own side out in the desert.

Scout teams (composed of CVFY, SSSNN, JNPR and NDGO) go out regularly looking for stragglers for weeks after the battle, and it's on SSSNN's outreach that Merc is found! Specifically by Neptune and Sun. Neptune is not keen on helping him out too much - just escort back to Vacuo, minimal medical help, then prison - but Sun's more willing. He offers to carry Merc back to the city himself.

While in the set-up medbays, Merc complains about needing extra food. It's no lie; he's hungry as hell, especially after almost eating sand before the guys found him. He considers stealing some himself but the leg situation makes that complicated. But, next time he wakes up, there's a couple more plates of servings for him at his bedside, with a little note from Sun saying he overheard and pulled a string or two.

They start talking while Coco and a couple of other mechanics start on Merc's legs. Mostly for distraction, also for company.

Sun is massively sympathetic learning about Merc's semblance getting stolen and what he did to his father. He tries to cheer him up with jokes and party tricks. The only one that gets a laugh out of Merc is one where Sun somehow manages to replace a banana with a note without disturbing the peel.

After that, it's much easier going. Merc loosens up a little. He lets himself laugh more, only a little, and he opens up about his likes. Of which he has few, but Sun can elaborate! He's great at that! Just ask his teammates!

The linchpin is when Merc is finally able to walk around a bit. For exactly ten minutes, Sun gets to give Merc a tour of the rest of the recovery camp. It's late and cool so his legs don't overheat. Mercury thanks him for helping him get around and keeping him company. Sun smiles, full teeth and all sunshine, and tells him he's a good guy. And something about the way he says it...yeah. Mercury can believe that.

Once he's all fixed up, Merc expects to be sent off to prison for...y'know, war crimes. Imagine his surprise when a bashful Sun Wukong hooks an arm around his neck and says he's taking on his rehabilitation case himself.

(Emerald also put in a good word. They're still besties, after everything.)
