Strange

Working at the Superstar Daycare has been a breeze for you. As a month goes by, you bond more with the children and the stars themselves: Sunny and Moon. The kids enjoy you and you enjoy the little rascals. Moon gives you more advice on how you can seem like a happier person so you don't make the children wonder about your condition. Sunny is a giggly ball of joy towards you and tries to make you smile your brightest. 

At one point Sunny tried to get you to lighten up by picking you up and spinning you around. You were surprised and startled by this action and he ends up leaning back and falling. Luckily, his design and fabric are soft so you're not hurt. You burst out laughing from the event and Sunny smiles and says without care "How cute!"

Your laughing stops almost immediately from him saying such things. You got up off of him. One of the young children asks you "Why is your face so red?" with concern. 

You don't say anything to the child; you simply walk away and sit down next to one of the infants messing with the stuffed toys. 

Anyhow, you notice something odd about your human assistant Liam. When he's talking with you, He's all joy and buzzy. There's something about Liam that gives you chills down your spine. Whenever you're doing your job, you can feel as if you're being watched. Whenever you look in all directions, you see a quick glimpse of orange curls in motion. 

At first you didn't think much of it. Then after awhile it kept happening again and again.  It finally gave you the creeps that Liam was watching you. Honestly, you didn't mind him watching you. Its just the way he is. The way he hides and quickly escapes when you look at him. 

You talked with Moon about it (you tried to talk about it with Sunny, but he was too busy giving children face paints. He only heard a quarter of what you said). Whenever you told Moon, his response was "Hmmm...how strange."

You looked at him, expecting a longer sentence. He then grumbles "Liam isn't the type to stalk people when examining them doing their job...He could be nervous to get close to you?"

"N-no." You blubber, "He's always comfortable talking to me, giving me three feet of space. It wouldn't make sense if that was it." 

"I guess you have a point." Moon replies in his raspy tone.

A grin creeps on Moon's face "He maybe has a little crush on you~"

You look at him surprised, "What? How would someone fall for me so fast. And you're acting like Sunny, stop." 

He cackles. "I'm just teasing you, dear."

"If  you're right, he sure is a creep if he spies on me." You opine

Moon nods in agreement. He then floats in the air to check on the sleeping children. You sigh to yourself and rest your head on the desk. Deep down, you're flattered that someone might like you in that way. "Who would ever like me" you think to yourself, "I'm just a freak."

Wow, I'm sorry it took me forever to get this done. I've been busy and all that shit. I'll be working on the next chapter and post it hopefully next Friday. 

Happy pride month peeps 🏳️‍🌈
