"I… I'm not sure…" Astral had no idea what had just happened to Simon, not at all. He held the mortal close to himself, already carrying Simon out of the garden.

((Well okay thennnnnnn umm gay fear))

He fell silent, just clinging onto Astral. He was grateful the god showed up when he did. He didn’t know what would’ve happened otherwise.

(I know exactly what would have happened but we can't really do it while he's prego~)

"I've got you," Astral said softly, holding Simon to himself. He brought Simon back to the living room, sitting down with him and keeping him so close.

((f e a r))

He curled up against Astral’s chest, closing his eyes tightly. Frankly, not much had happened to make Simon freak out like this. It was just weird and disturbing and he hadn’t liked it. And he knew it was his fault which made him feel extremely stupid.

Astral carefully ran his fingers through Simon's hair, holding still. He wasn't going to focus on anything else but helping Simon calm down until the man was okay.

Simon would stay still in Astral’s arms for a solid 10 minutes until he finally sat up, sniffling softly. “Well that was stupid.” He said, trying to make light of the situation. “I don’t know I just…couldn’t get away…”

Astral nodded some, cupping the back of Simon's head.
"I… I'm sorry that this happened," the god said softly.

“N-no it’s okay!” He quickly reassured. “It was my fault anyway.” He said, smiling quickly up at the god.

"Still…" Astral held Simon close, shaking his head some.

He nuzzled his head into the crook of Astral’s neck. “Well I’m okay now. At least I think so. I feel okay. Sooo..yeah!” He said, just kind of rambling.

Astral let out a sigh of relief.
"Promise you're not lying?" Astral asked.

“Promise!” He reassured. “Or at least I think so. It was just weird and I needed a few minutes to freak out over it.”

Astral nodded.
"There are many weird things in my world," Astral admitted. He hugged Simon, sighing again.
"But I am glad you're doing better."

“I bet there are.” Simon agreed, smiling softly as he felt Astral’s arms wrap around him. “Me too….” he then remembered something. “So is Marcos coming to take it away, the plant?” He asked curiously.

"Ah…" Astral was quiet a moment. "No, unfortunately.. Our creator, she decided reach god needed to take care of their own flowers, and the ones of the gods under them. Those will be coming soon…" Astral shook his head some.
"I'll section them off from the rest of the garden…"

“Well that sucks…sorry you’re gonna have to deal with that.” He said, recalling how bothered Astral had been by just the sight of the flower. “Hopefully though, I won’t be making that same mistake twice.”

"Hopefully…" Astral closed his eyes a moment.
"And I'll be fine. I just… Got caught off guard." The god laughed some at himself.

“Yeah that’s for sure. I’ve never seen you freak out like that.” Simon chuckled softly, flicking Astral’s forehead teasingly.

"Well, I obviously had a good reason to it seems!" Astral laughed weakly. Anyone else would have hand their hand crushed for daring to treat him like this, but Simon could always get away with so much.

((s o f t))

He laughed as well, resting his head back on Astral’s chest again, humming contently.

(v e r y)

Astral reached up to play with Simon's hair, smiling some.
"I feel like I'm going to have to keep a closer eye on you from now on," the god teased.

((;w;))

“Maybe you should.” He replied back, leaning into Astral’s touch, a wide smile on his face.

((Also do you want the general idea of what I have planned or should I just surprise you?))

"Well, I'm definitely going to know with that answer!" Astral laughed some, cupping Simon's head.

(a general idea would be good, I don't want our plot points conflicting lol, and I love to plan out reactions before it happens)

He giggled softly, a gentle blush forming on his face. He was just so…so happy. He felt loved and understood and appreciated and he was so scared he might lose it all at any moment. But he tried not to think about that, and just enjoyed the moment.

((Soooo basically Simon is going to visit someone’s grave. But Simon’s not going to want to tell Astral why he wants to go down to earth and even once they’re there he won’t want to let Astral come with him so the only way Astral will really find anything out is if he follows Simon or stops him from going.))

Astral moved his hand some, cupping Simon's cheek now and gently brushing a thumb over his cheek.
"Silly man," he said softly. It was clear it was a term of endearment, just from how Astral said it.

(oooo)
(Astral would totally secretly follow Simon just to make sure he was okay)

((THE WAY THIS MESSAGE WARMED MY HEART A H))

His breath caught in his throat and he couldn’t help but just smile. He wouldn’t mind at all staying here forever, just in this moment for the rest of his life.

((Aww <3 he gets to see Simon crying his eyes out then <3))

(<3)

It was so easy for Astral to return the smile. He chuckled softly, moving to hug Simon gently. He didn't want to leave this moment either.

(Oh noooooo it'll be so hard for him not to reveal himself and comfort Simon)

((Also you better believe this moment will haunt Simon forever once he finds out.))

Simon wrapped his arms around Astral in return, hugging the god tightly. He plopped his head back onto Astral’s chest, letting his eyes slide shut.

((Ooooooof))

(Oh yeah… _{maybe they'll be able to pull their relationship back together vvy slowly once we have the scene with Astral crying in the bathroom and it won't be so bad anymore?})

Astral smiled, holding Simon close to himself. This was what he wanted. He wanted Simon to be happy, for the two of them to be so close…

((_{yeah probablyyyyy hopefullyyyyy))}

((He just needs to prove to Simon that he actually does care and wasn’t just manipulating him.))
((But Simon will be hurt for a vvy long time))

Simon began to hum softly, reaching up and running his fingers through Astral’s hair, just playing with it. He smiled, liking the feeling.
