(It'll take a long, long time, but it can happen if Simon gives Astral the chance)
(Ofc, he's been hurt so much)
Astral looked down at Simon playing with the tips of the human's hair in turn.
"Enjoying yourself?"
((Ye ye))
((Yes the poor babi))
He looked up, giggling softly and nodding. “Mhm!” He exclaimed, very content. He pushed some more of Astral’s hair out of the way, gasping dramatically. “Astral did you know you have a forehead under all this hair?”
group
Astral gasped some.
"Really??" He lifted his hand up, smacking his forehead. "I do!! Thank you so much for pointing that out to me~"
Simon snorted before he burst out laughing. “Y-you’re so welcome” he managed to get out in between laughter.
group
Astral tried to keep a serious face, but he cracked up to, laughing heartily. He hugged Simon again, grinning. This was so nice, why couldn't they just have this!
Simon smiled widely, never having heard Astral laugh like this before. It made him happy. He really really wanted to do anything he could to make Astral happy. He knew that was probably crazy but…he didn’t care.
group
Astral eventually managed to stop laughing, still smiling with a metaphorically glowing blush, ruffling Simon's hair lightly.
"Well, that was a hearty bout of laughter," the god said, chuckling again.
“It was.” He agreed, leaning into the god’s touch. “I’ve never heard you laugh that much before…it was really nice.”
group
"Well, you are the one who let me. I'm glad I was able to, it'd been a while!" Astral grinned.
He smiled up at the other. “I’m glad I could help you out then.” He said, really meaning it. He liked Astral’s laugh, and it made him sad that the other didn’t do it as much.
group
Astral nodded, resting his head on Simon a moment.
"Me too…"
Simon fell silent, just letting Astral hold him. After a minute or two he yawned quietly, letting his eyes slide shut.
((Oh also forgot to mention this earlier but Simon will probably get closer to Astral again after whatever stuff happens with Astral’s mother))
group
(Ooh boi, it's gonna be a lot… like, think how Astral used to be but with zero ability to make her feel for Simon…)
(Yeah that'd make sense XD)
Astral looked down at Simon when he yawned, smiling softly and holding back the sadness. He didn't say a word, standing with Simon in his arms as he headed towards the bedroom.
((F Simon’s gonna die))
Simon wasn’t really sure if he even wanted to go to sleep. Astral was just so warm and comfy…it put him at ease in such a way where he couldn’t help but begin to feel tired. He still clung tightly onto the god, not wanting to be separated from his source of warmth.
group
(I mean,,, yeah, lol)
Astral wasn't going to let go of Simon, not while he was like that. So, the god laid down with Simon still in his arms, snuggling close.
Simon snuggled into Astral’s arms. “I don’t wanna go to bed…” he protested softly, even as he yawned again. He was having such a good time with Astral and he didn’t want it to end.
group
'I'll be right here with you when you wake up," Astral promised. God, Simon was reminding Astral of a kid again, and it made what he had done seem so much worse…
“You promise? You won’t leave me behind?” He asked, which seemed an odd way of phrasing it but the guy was tired, he was kind of out of it, so maybe it was nothing. But still…the way he looked at Astral, he looked so vulnerable, and trusting.
group
"I won't, I promise." Astral smiled some in assurance, screaming on the inside. Don't trust me, Simon, please! Still, nothing looked wrong.
He nodded, not looking entirely like he believed him but resting his head on the other man’s chest nonetheless. “I don’t like that I’m getting tired so much now….you’ve softened me up I guess. Forced me to actually take care of myself.” He teased, chuckling softly.
group
"Yeah, I guess so. But it's a good thing to take care of yourself, you know. There's only so much I can do for you." Astral cupped Simon's head, sighing some with a soft chuckle.
“I know I just…never did it a lot. Never had the opportunity, never had the motivation. So yeah…it’s good that I can now though…” he smiled faintly, his eyes drooping a bit.
group
"It is," Astral agreed. The god pulled the blankets up around them, smiling sweetly.
"Here, we can take the nap together…"
“Thanks…..” he mumbled, pressing his face into Astral’s chest, taking a slow deep breath, breathing in Astral’s scent. It was a very comforting smell for him now, as he associated it with so many good things.
group
Astral ran his fingers through Simon's hair again, settling down for the time. Astral's breathing slowed, and he started to fall asleep with Simon in his arms.
((Baby boyyyyys. How long should we have them sleep for??))
group
(A few hours should be good. Their sleep schedules are just,,, whenever they want to lol, there is no rhyme or reason)
((There really isn’t lol but then again they are on the sun. Anything we want them to do before the next day rolls around or should they just v i b e?))
group
(v i b e)
