Astral could see he'd have to get this man to open up a bit to him before he made his offer. He held up his hands a bit to show he meant no harm.
"I'm not gonna hurt you," he said softly. "This bruises look pretty bad, though…"
He shrugged. “They’re healing..” was really all he could think of to offer in response. Normally whenever people would encounter him on the streets, they’d just look the other way. So this was a nice change for him, or at least that was what he thought.
"Still," Astral said softly, "it's pretty bad you got them in the first place." Astral wanted to be the one to give this man bruises, to make him scream until he couldn't anymore.
"Are you really sure everything's okay?"
He opened his mouth to give his usual response that everything was fine…but he just couldn’t, not when this stranger was being so nice to him. He silently shook his head in response to the question.
Astral let out a soft breath.
"It's bad, isn't it?" He asked sadly. In reality, he was elated. He was so, so close to getting this man to fall into his trap, he could already imagine how it would feel to have his hands covering in this man's blood, his fingers tearing him apart and putting him back together.
He hesitated before nodding. He didn’t know what this stranger could do about it but for once he just wanted help, wanted someone to save him.
Astral waited a moment, then put his hand out. He let his facade fall, revealing his true form just to this man.
"I can offer you a new life," he said. He was excited knowing he was so, so close to having a new toy.
Simon fell backwards a few steps just out of pure surprise. But Astral could tell by the look in his eyes that Simon had fallen into his trap. Whatever this man really was, Simon was sure he could help. He needed to be saved. Slowly, he reached his hand out, taking Astral’s offered hand.
Gotcha. Astral stood fully now. The man wouldn't be able to see yet, but Astral's symbol had appeared on his wrist, a stylized sun.
"Come," he said softly. "Let's us leave this place." Astral's was going to have so much fun with this man.
He nodded, keeping his gaze downcast as he stood. He looked back over to where a stray cat was now peeking out from behind the dumpster. Simon smiled, waving at it and mumbling a quick ‘goodbye’ under his breath.
This human was cute. Astral would have fun breaking him.
"What is your name?" Astral's asked. He still held the man's hand in his own, lightly raising one hand to cup the human's cheek. He'd get rid of those bruises- he wanted his own to litter the man's face, not someone else's.
“Simon..” he replied quietly. He was still kind of in awe over the other man. He was just so…well beautiful was the best way for Simon to describe it.
Astral nodded a bit. He leaned forward, kissing Simon's forehead. He let a bit of his power out, the bruises on Simon's face fading away to nothing.
"Do you know who I am?" Astral's asked, offering a sweet smile as he thought of everything he could do to torture his new toy.
Simon blushed softly at the contact, but grew even more surprised as he felt his bruises heal and fade away. He brought his other hand up to his face, double checking that they were gone. He looked up at Astral’s question, practically openly gaping now. He shook his head. He really had no clue who Astral was or what he was going to do to him.
((Dang…I just realized that Simon wouldn’t even be on testosterone or anything, so he’d still completely a biological woman…do whatever you want with that information ig))
(Oh jeez I feel for him so much, we on the same boat ;-;)
Astral smiled a bit, but on the inside he was irked. This this human know nothing of the gods, of the most worshipped one even in this time and age?
"My name is Astral," the God said softly. "And I am the God of the Sun." He left his hand against Simon's cheek, still smiling down at him.
(stalking because I love this idea)
(Oh nice! I'm also totally stalking the demon one, I like your ideas for how to do things like this)
(Lol cool!)
((For real, being trans sucks ;-; I just wanna be a shapeshifter and be happyyyyy))
“Oh my god really?” He’d heard a bit about the Sun God but he’d never really looked much into it, he didn’t really like religion, it was sort of a thing with him. And now he was feeling like a massive idiot. “I-I’m so sorry I didn’t recognize you!”
(exactlyyyyyyyyy)
Astral smiled softly.
"It's alright," he said gently. He'd punish Simon later. He turned, taking the human's hand in his again. He could see this man was fragile, and if he went in find ablaze he'd break him in a instant. Still, he had an idea that would draw things out considerably…
"Come, I think it is time we leave."
“Where are we going?” Simon asked out of curiosity. It didn’t really matter to him, he just wanted to know. He felt comforted by Astral’s presence, having no idea of his true intentions.
"To my home." He stayed by Simon's side, even if he himself had a much larger stride. He lightly placed one hand on the human's head. He was quite cute, he'd give them that. He'd probably fuck him eventually.
"You can stay with me for a while."
“Okay..Thank you.” He smiled softly up at the other. Maybe this would be a good thing for him. Or at the very least, it couldn’t possibly get much worse than the rest of his life.
(Narrator: He was wrong. Also I'm totally not stalking this okay byyyeee!)
