Angry Cuddles

Summary:

Only one bed is a classic trope in romance media, but what if it wasn’t romance? What if it was between two touch starved bots?

Notes:

This is before the Eclipse and Puppet show so when Sun and Moon didn’t trust Eclipse.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

“Are you fucking kidding me!?”

When Sun agreed to go on this trip he’d immediately tried to back out when Moon told him who’d be joining. This was meant to be a vacation, why in the world did he have to bring along the egotistical asshole?

And Sun said as such.

“Look, look, I know this isn’t ideal but we can’t keep an eye on him and it’s too important to cancel, I don’t like it either but sometimes we just gotta work with it.”

Is what Moon said.

Sun understood but he was still peeved, and for some reason the Hotel refused to let him reschedule. Something about things being too tight with the rooms, Sun really didn’t want to wait 3 months for a vacation so taking Eclipse with it was.

Eclipse was annoyed, not as much as Sun but still. Neither was happy, at least ignoring each other in the flight was easybenough. But of course that didn’t last.

Directions were a nightmare, the airport was beyond crowded, no taxi or uber was available, the Hotel was an hour away from the airport, they ended up having to walk it all, the check in line was out the door, and once they finally got into their room. Of
course.

There was only one bed.

Which is where Sun is now, standing silently just staring at that cursed bed as Eclipse muttered every swear he knew and threatened to rip his face off with how hard he was rubbing it.

Sun tuned back in when he realized Eclipse was snapping in his face.

“C-could you not.” Sun snapped up at Eclipse before shoving his hand away.

“Maybe when you actually answer my question.” Eclipse gritted out through clenched teeth.

“W-wait wha?” Sun stammered and Eclipse unnecessarily squatted down, speaking to him like he was a child.

“Could you be a good little boy and answer my question? Please?” Eclipse mocked before flicking Sun’s forehead.

Sun shoved Eclipse off and snapped back. “I didn’t hear what you said! I’m not a child you need to talk down to!”

A snicker slipped out of Eclipse’s lips. “How can I talk up to you when you're so short?”

“You are a foot taller than me!” Sun snapped as Eclipse mockingly made a placating gesture.

“No need to get your pampers in a twist, since you’re so helpless I'll ask again.” He put pauses in between every word, "Where's.” “The.” “Help.” “Desk.” Eclipse went right back to leaning down to Sun’s only slightly shorter height.

Sun would’ve rolled his eyes if he wasn’t so confused. “The h-help desk?”

Eclipse glared at Sun like he was the stupidest thing in the multiverse. “The help desk. So we can get another room.”

Sun scoffed. “And you call me an idiot? I told you three times there are no other rooms! We were lucky to even get this one!”

Eclipse quickly bit back with: “At least I’m trying to find a solution, and not standing there helpless.” Venom laced his tone.

“I’m coping you para-” Sun sighed. He was too tired to keep fighting. “You know what? You take the bed, I’ll sleep on the f-floor.”

“And have Moon murder me when we get back?” Eclipse scoffed. “Hell no, we’ll just have to sleep in the same one..”

Eclipse flopped down on the left side of the bed as Sun stared at him like he just grew two heads.

“What?” Eclipse growled and Sun flinched, “Ugh.. Nothing.” he muttered before flopping down on the opposite side of the thankfully king sized bed.

They ended up shoving a wall of pillows in between them, Sun knocked back the elixir that Moon gave him to prevent moving in his sleep. Sun was incredibly relieved, he didn’t want another fight to break out all because he accidentally kicked Eclipse in his sleep.

As Sun drifted off he wondered if Eclipse had inherited the same sleeping issue.

.·:*¨¨* ≈☆≈ *¨¨*:·.

Now he was certain he had the worst luck in the multiverse.

Sun wondered how it was even possible that Eclipse kicked down the pillow wall, rolled all the way over, and spooned Sun in his sleep. Sun wanted to scream at the top of his lungs, but he wanted to live and there was no doubt that Eclipse would murder him. He tried to pull away.

He froze when Eclipse growled and pulled him in closer.

The canary colored bot tensed when his rays were nuzzled. He could hear Eclipse vaguely muttering about something in his sleep.

“Little brother…”

Sun’s face immediately flared up with amber blush, there was no way Eclipse thought of him like that. The more he thought about it the more he denied that Eclipse was talking about him. It wasn’t possible.

“Sunny…”

And just like that any chance of denial was ripped away from him. Eclipse nipped at his shoulders and the back of his neck. Sun was reminded of the way his cats would bite him and each other as an act of affection.

He snuggled closer to Eclipse. Moon wasn't too big on physical touch and he didn’t know how to ask the others. Eclipse started to purr, Sun quietly purred back. It was so nice until Eclipse bit down on his shoulder full force.

“OW!”

Eclipse sat blot awake, Sun couldn’t move away fast enough.

“What are you doing.”

It wasn’t a question, it was a warning, but Sun didn’t feel like backing down.

“What am I doing!? You were the one snuggling up to me in your sleep!”

Eclipse’s face flared with orange blush, he looked absolutely humiliated. Yet not a moment later he pulled Sun close again.

“Wha-”

“Just shut up and hug me dammit, we’re both cold.”

Sun paused for a moment before hugging back and burying his face in Eclipse’s shoulder. He purred softly and Eclipse purred back. A charcoal hand rubbed at the bite mark scarring his shoulder. It would be there until he got some new casing.

He didn’t mind so much.

They both knew that being cold wasn’t the problem it never was. But it was much easier to say than the truth. They would never say it.

Never admit they were lonely.

Notes:

Yes they do purr like cats, I don’t make the rules
