"Hey uh Moon... Do you know where the toolbox is..?" Eclipse asked as he walked into Moons doorway. Moon was sitting on his bed half naked. He looked Tired.
"No. I don't." Moon said in his usual aggressive tone. He huffed and glared at him. Moon was panting softly on his bed.
"You alright? You look kinda... Disheveled." Eclipse asked as he walked in.
"Go work on getting my brother back. Im busy." Moon deflected as he let out a soft grunting sound and shifted on the bed.
"I- alright..." Eclipse gripped his arm and walked off. He was worried about Moon but he knew better to not push too much. It could set Moon off easily. And when he was angry there was no going back.
Eclipse walked over to Suns lifeless body and gripped his hand gently. Eclipses rays drooped as he stared at the shell of the person Sun used to be. He was gone. He'd been gone for months. But Moon was still trying and forcing Eclipse to keep going. Moon rarely gave him any breaks on trying to fix him either. He knew Sun was gone but Moon refused to think so.
"Don't touch him asshole." Moon slapped Eclipses hand and pushed him away. Moon had snuck up behind Eclipse and growled as his face twisted in anger. "Nobody gave you permission to touch him. I highly doubt he'd want to touch you anyways. You piece of shit."
Eclipse backed up and gripped his own hand. "Moon... You know he's gone... He has been for months... There's no use in trying to fix him..." Moon snapped his head towards Eclipse. "No hes not! Now get over here and keep trying! Im going to go talk to Monty don't bother me." Moon stormed out and slammed the door.
"God damn it..." Eclipse looked at sun and sighed as he walked over to his old body. "Im sorry sunny..." Eclipse reached out and caressed Sun's head gently before pulling back.
Eclipse walked out into the living room and sat down on the couch. He shifted until he found a comfortable spot to sit. He gripped his kness as he pulled them up to his chest and buried his face in them.

"Solar?" Solar jerked up to find Moon at his door. Moon had woken up because he heard Solar make a sound in his sleep and he wanted to check on him.
"Huh..? Oh hey Moon... You need anything?" Solar tilted his head at Moon who walked forwards.
"Nah I was just checking on you. Also you kinda slept like 6 hours more than usual so I just wanted to see if you were alright. Its like 11am right now by the way." Moon glanced away before looking at Solar.
"Uh yeah. Im fine." Solar quickly got out of bed and threw his usual shirt on and slid his feet into his boots as he grabbed his goggles. Solar stood up and went to leave but was stopped by moon.
"Whoa dude whats the rush. I know you have a few projects but give yourself a break for a bit. I wanna talk to you." Moon walked over and stopped Solar where he was standing."
"Oh- I sure. What do you wanna talk about?" Solar asked while he stopped and glanced down at the smaller model.
"You actually. I know we check up on you frequently but for the past few months you've been distant. Especially when we got Jack back. Is there anything you'd wanna talk about? I know this is more of a Earth thing but we can still talk if you want." Moon asked as he reached out and placed a hand on Solar's shoulder. Solars lower ray near Moons hand retracted slightly as he sighed and made eye contact with Moon.
"I don't really know what to talk about to be honest. There's so much right now. I keep having dreams about my old world." Solar spoke out after a few moments.
"Dreams? What kind of dreams Solar? Are you having nightmares or is it just dreams?" Moon pulled his hand back when he felt Solar tense a bit.
"Just dreams. I haven't had any nightmares. But it feels weird to dream about my old world. I haven't been there in a long time. My Moon, My Sun, and my entire dimension is gone. Everything is gone. But I still miss it." Solar paused trying to get his words together. "Sorry if im rambling."
"No it's fine Solar. I want you to talk." Moon replied as he gave Solar a small smile.
"I dunno Moon. It's been stressful lately... I mean Jack got taken over, Dazzle won't forgive him for what he said even though it wasn't him, the whole Nexus and Dark Sun bullshit what happened a few months ago, the creator working with the two, and more. I don't know why im remembering stuff from the past when its gone and over with. Most of my memories I've shoved back behind a fire wall but it seems like they're coming back. " Solar continued after a small sigh. "I can't get my emotions together right now. I don't know what to do about this or how to feel."
"Solar it's okay to be unsure of yourself and your feelings. But don't neglect them like you did when you first got here." Moon reassured. Solar gave Moon a small smile however it seemed a bit forced.
"Alright I won't. But I seriously need to start on my projects today. Im late by hours on them." Solar put a hand on the back of his neck as Moon chuckled and moved out of his way.
Solar made his way to the basement trying to avoid the others as to not get distracted. He was already late enough to begin with. Solar walked down the stairs to the basement and was met with a monotone "Hello" as Nebula suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Gah- holy shit. Hey Nebula." Solar stopped abruptly startled by the astral being in front of him.
"Solar. I would like to talk to you." Nebula looked up at Solar. Solar sighed softly. He paused his advancements and sat his toolbox down. He figured today would just be one of those days where he wouldn't get much done.
"About what exactly?" Solar looked at his girlfriend. It was a weird feeling to have romantic interest in anyone since these were emotions he had never experienced before.
"Would you like to play a game?" She tilted her head a bit.
(I work on these books over a long period of time so this probably won't be finished until a few weeks or few months later)
