Y/N got in her car, pulling her hood up a bit to try and hide the bleeding bite mark on her. She was still reeling from what just happened. She drove off to pick up Jax from school, and took him home. Once they were inside, Jax looked up at Y/N.
"Mom? What's wrong?"
Y/N blinked, looking down at him, "nothing, Jax.. Don't worry. Something happened at work, and I gotta go clean up."
Jax nodded, walking to the living room and turning on the TV.

Y/N walked up the stairs tiredly to the bathroom, where she grabbed bandages and alcohol. She pulled her shirt off, cleaning off the blood from the mark. After that, she swabbed the wound with alcohol on a cotton ball, wincing from the sting. Then she bandaged up the mark, and some red dots seeped through into the white cloth, Sun had dug his teeth in deep. Y/N put her shirt back on, walking out of the bathroom and back downstairs.

She felt on edge, and to be honest a bit cranky. She wondered what she could do to soothe herself, and then something Krystal had said a while ago popped into her mind. She couldn't go out now, though. Jax needed to be taken care of. She could run out to a gas station while he was asleep, a quick in-and-out trip.

"What do you want for dinner, bud?" Y/an asked Jax. "Can we get pizza? Please?" He begged. Y/N almost never got fast food for Jax, she always made him something fresh at home. "Sure, kiddo. I need to run out and pick something up anyway." She pulled out her phone and dialed up a local pizza joint, ordering her and Jaxs favorite toppings. "Alright, let's head out. Im gonna stop by the gas station, so you can get a treat there too."

Jaxs face lit up. "Really?"
Y/N smiled at him softly, "yep, now let's get going." She said, getting up and putting her jacket on. She helped Jax zip up his jacket too, and they headed out. Y/N pulled into a gas station parking lot, holding Jaxs hand as they went inside. "Alright, go pick something out, I gotta grab something."
She let go of his hand, and he wandered off to the candy isle. Y/N walked over and grabbed a pack or two of cigarettes and a lighter. Krystals words from years ago rang in her head, 'a good old smoke always calmed my nerves.'
'Y/N..what are you doing?' Glitchtrap asked. She shook her head, brushing him off.

Jax ended up picking out a candy bar and a bottle of orange soda. Y/N set them on the counter after she had already gotten her cigarettes and lighter payed for, so Jax didn't see them. She payed for Jaxs stuff, and walked out of the gas station. She drove off to the pizza joint, picking up the order and then drove back home. She and Jax sat down at the table and ate pizza, Jax drinking his soda as well, and talking about Jaxs day at school. Then Jax said something out of the blue.

"Mom, why do you look so tired all the time?"
Y/N did a double take, pausing.
"It's nothing, hun, just a lot going on at work lately."

"I wish I could make it better.." He looked down sadly.
"Oh, Jax.. Being able to come home and see your face makes it better. You're one of the sweetest kids I've ever seen, and that's really lucky for kids your age. Usually they're all little rascals."

Jax smiled at her, cheered up by her words. He suddenly yawned, and Y/N looked at the time. "Oh, better get you to bed, kiddo."
She got up and picked Jax up in her arms, walking upstairs and pushing Jaxs door open. She layed him down on the bed, flicking his night light on, and turning the lights off. Jax got comfy under the blankets, looking at Y/N happily, waiting for his usual goodnight song. Y/N cleared her throat, singing the song she always did, and Jax fell asleep on the final verse. She leaned down and kissed his head, walking out of the room and gently closing the door.

Y/N walked out to the balcony— she had a very big house for originally living alone. She pulled out a cigarette and lighter, lighting it up and taking a drag.
'Y/N, are you—'

"Yeah. I am. I promised myself I never would again after I graduated, but now look where I am." She cut Glitchtrap off. He was completely silent after that.
"I know self-control, Glitchtrap." She said, breaking the silence from him.
'You aren't some loser that smokes all the time.'

"Never said I was." She took another drag, but then suddenly heard a familiar voice from beside her. "So you're smoking now?" Moon asked, more of a statement than a question. Y/N choked, coughing. She dropped it to the floor and smashed it under her boot, looking back at him. "Don't sneak up on me like that!"

Moons face was serious. "I'm surprised you even know how a cigarette works, you don't look live you've smoked a day in your life."

"I used to back in college." She told him, turning back to rest her arms on the railing of the balcony. "Only, unlike most people, I knew self control. And I still do."

"Why did you decide to start again?"

"Isn't it obvious?" She cast a glance at him, then looked back into the woods that was a little beyond her, and her neighbors, backyards. "Or did you actually think I've been going through all of this with a smile on my face."

She didn't know if Moon was going to say anything, but she continued. "You would know better than anyone some of the shit I've been through, You were there for some of it. And what you don't know already, well I'd rather keep it like that. Everything that happened last night— no, everything in the past few months, has been weighing me down like a bag of bricks on my shoulders. But after carrying stuff heavier than that for most of my life, I learned to deal with it..."

"Hell, you've probably been through worse than me, I don't know why I'm talking. You probably want me to shut up—"
Moon silently wrapped his arms around her waist in a hug, laying his head on hers softly. "Y/N, you've been through so much, even more than what I know. I don't know how you've dealt with it for so long... I'm here for you. Me and Sun are always gonna be here for you."

Y/N was silent for a second, then turned around and hugged Moon, burying her face in his chest. Moon kissed her head, stroking her spiky hair. His hand landed on her shoulder, the one with the bandages on it. She winced as it stung. Moon quickly took his hand away. "I'm sorry about that.. Me and Sun were beyond mad.. Not at you though. At Eclipse and Lunar.. I'm sorry it got taken out on you.."

"It's fine.. At least he didn't cause any 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 bad damage.."

"Yeah. I guess.." He still sounded really regretful. He looked into her eyes thoughtfully, leaning in and kissing her. She kissed him back, taking his hand. They held it for a long while, before Y/N finally broke away to breathe.
"I love you, Starlight." He said.

"I love you too, Moony."
