It was another quiet night, lunar was laying on the couch in the small shack monty made for him, thoughts running in his mind.

What if he were to try?

What if he were to use his powers on his own wires?

What if he were too try and destroy his motherboard?

It was an overwhelming amount of question that he had, even if some weren't about harming himself, they still gave him a migraine. He turned the pillow to it's cold side and laid his head on it, hoping for the pain to go away. It wasn't working as planned.

He raised his head once again, standing up from the couch and making his way to the river with slow steps, he felt tired and heavy. It was normal for people to have bad days sometimes, but he didn't know why today was particularly nerve-wracking and hurtful. He had been just fine the past days!

As he sat on the edge of the river, his head began feeling more heavy, his body felt like it was leaning to the side as his eyes fluttered shut.
Before his small body hit the floor he felt a pair of arms scoop him up as a comforting heat wrapped around him. No words needed to be spoken to know who was carrying him so gently.
Soon he felt a soft blanket ontop of him his mind relaxing as he felt sleep overtake him.

Gemini gently held lunar as he laid on their chest, his small form a beautiful sight to see. The silence which was usually deafening felt like a soft lullaby at the moment. They could help but let their fingers gently trace over the feature of his face and fiddle with his hood. He was their most priced treasure, the only light that wasn't their own. The universe itself couldn't pull them away from him, they wouldn't let it, never would that be an option.

Everyone knows the feeling of shock, when time stops for a moment and can't get yout thoughts together.

Lunar knew it all to well.

He hadn't expected today to end like that.
But when he found himself with the feeling of his neck being squeezed tighter and tighter, darkness surrounding his vision, it was purely his body that reacted, a zap of power coming from him before he felt the tightness dissappear

Then he ran

And ran

And ran

He didn't know where to

But he just needed to be as far away as he could. He didn't notice that he was damaged, he could only feel the need to find a safe place

Home

Where was home?

He needed home right now

How far away from home was he?

Has it been long?

Did he still need to run? Was he even being chased to begin with?

...

...

Oh.

He wasn't running anymore

Since when has he stopped?

His knees felt weak. How long has he been standing?

It was so cold

Was he shivering?

He felt so tired

But this wasn't a safe space. He wanted home.

He had to keep going

Small steps

The only thing he could take now

Running was to tiring

He had to reach home

He took very small steps

Why was there ringing in his ears?

Where was he even? Why was his sight still so taken over by the darkness?

He couldn't see alot- Oh! A house.

Was it home?

It seemed familiar..

There was someone. They were talking to him. Long snout, green skin..

He ouldn't make out the words. Wait- a second person?

A woman- Earth.

Yes, he knew that was Earth. His sister's voice was comforting, but worss where still indistinguishable.

Oh, where was he know?

Room. A familiar one. He slept here, right..

Earth and...

...

oh! Ofcourse! The other person was monty.

The both of them where there, earth had a blanket.

The blanket looked soft.

It felt soft.

Monty was gone already.

When did he leave?

Why was time speeding up and slowing down?

There was a need

Why did he suddenly want something?

His star

Where was his star?

His warm, comforting star

That was what he needed

He loved his star

...

...

...

Sleep.

Sleep sounded nice.

Yes he should sleep.

They held his hand gently as he slept, their touch as gentle as it could be, lighter than a feather. How could one not appreciate such beauty of a person? He was the most perfectly imperfect being they knew. The small bot was such a valuable thing to them. They wished to hold him forever, to be with him during any situation. They wished they could be sitting in space together, going through the stars. They wished to explore the planet earth more, to find more things to spend time with him.
Anything that brought them closer to him.
But right now they had to wait.
Wait for the hallucinations thay plagued their love to be gone. Wait for him to be approved by the other astrals. As much as they would've just taken him now and ignore the other constellations, that would lead to heavy consequences.

For now they could only watch as he slept and hold his hand for the small sense of comfort.

They hadn't expected things to take such a turn.

At first they thought they were just friendly acquaintances with lunar. Nothing more. Just pupil and mentor. But as the time passed, their chest grew warmer and warmer and lunar's presence became a want, then a need.
They went from simply being interested in the way he was, to finding adoration in everything about him. His hat that seemed perfect to fiddle with his eyes that could be so gentle but also so gleeful
And the size comparison, they couldn't help but let out a chuckle whenever they thought about how small he was compared to them. It was so endearing.

But confusion came into the mix too. Since when were they be able to feel such things? Where they even supposed to feel like this? They didn't know if it would give them a hindrance from doing their job.
But how could they just ignore it?
It made them so happy.

Sadly tho, lunar didn't seem to have noticed. Sure he was always very oblivious.
But it hurt.

They talked with his sister, earth. She was as helpful as lunar had always said she was when it comes to feelings.
They liked the suggestion of giving gifts.
What did lunar like?

Perhaps small things like flowers or a pendant. They gave him a lot of stuff over the course of multiple weeks, lunar was always very excited whenever he got a knew thing.

But eventually they couldn't keep it a secret much longer.

Earth had been urging them to confess, saying that she's sure that lunar will feel the same way, that he had been talking about them too. But it seemed to be more in a fascinated way than anything.

But they had to do it.

So here they were in the same field they've been training him at, kneeled down infront of him.
They made sure to be as straightforward as possible yet still keeping lunar comfortable.

"Lunar..."

They gently held the small bots hand in their own, seeing how small it was in comparison. They saw how lunar looked up at them, they couldn't tell if he was puzzled or nervous.
Those beautiful big eyes, they made Gemini's breath hitch for a second. It was harder than expected, atleast for the quiet one of the twins.

"We adore the way you keep improving.. but.. there's a lot more that we adore about you too..."

They gave themselves a second to take a deep breath.

"We... love you.. very much."

The silence was deafening as they waited for a response, unsure of what reaction they'd get.

Lunar was quiet for a few moments before a light dust of red appeared on his face. He had not expected this today.
But if he was honest? They were kinda, really pretty. So maybe he did feel the same?

"Well- i suppose we could...try?"

Hearing that response a burst of happiness coursed through gemini as they subconsciously hugged him, a small giggle escaping them.

"Thank you."

Lunar was laying miserably on the couch in his room, curled up, clutching his chest as he let out hitched breaths. His throat burned as a purple liquid dripped from his mouth, staining anything it touches. Why was it always him? He thought that he was slowly reconciling with eclipse– but no.
That godforsaken excuse of an animatronic turned out to be working with rez.
And the consequences of that? Not only were the astral in even more stress now, but those two pests had to poison him. How did they do it? By fucking stabbing him.

So here was lunar now, suffering in silence as the poison attacked his voice box and the stab wound remained not properly treated, because no one in his family knew how to treat it properly. Just great.
In an attempt to distract himself he looked at the colorful pictures on the wall. Sadly, his ADHD wasn't on his side though.
He let out a little whimper as his chest stung with dark star power burning away at his metal frame.

A gentle shift of the cushions he was laying on made him look up a bit, his gaze meeting Gemini's.
The astral silently sat beside him, looking down at him with a masked worry.

"Are you... okay?"
Gemini knew it was a stupid question, ofcourse he wasn't alright. But they still felt the need to ask.

"No."
Lunar replied with a bold tone, not exactly caring if it sounded rude. He just wanted to slip into unconsciousness and not feel the pain.

Gemini felt a sting in their heart but decided not to pry further, sitting down and observing him.

After a few moments of awkward silence, Gemini gently reached out, taking one of his hands in their own. It felt way to cold and shaky for their liking. Hesitantly, they pressed a kiss on the back of his hand, watching as a light red dusted his face.

Neither of them spoke, unsure what to say or do without seeming awkward. Every now and then when lunar let out a pained noise, gemini squeezed his hand. They didn't know how to properly comfort him but seeing that this was somewhat working they stayed with it.

Glancing at lunar's face again, they could see the pain that taunted him so ruthlessly.
Their face shifted to a more concerned expression, the feeling of guilt crawling up their back. This wouldn't have happened if they haven't left. They did evertime lunar's done something stupid and he always waited for them. Sure, he's got some things to work out out, but so do they.

His oh-so-beautiful body got ruined because of their absence and they can't even fix it properly. The only way to make things fair was if they were equal..

Their gaze fixated on his face, gently squeezing his hand as a thought came to them. There is a possibility to make things somewhat equal, besides lunar deserves to get the affection from them he's been yearning for.

Slowly they moved their hand from his hand to his face, carefully pulling him into a sitting position. They waited, letting him adjust before continuing.

The other hand came up to cup his face, their touch gentle. How was he so soft for being made of metal? Everything was admirable, from the small frame down to the adorable reactions. The red blush that every so slightly came out of hiding was irresistible. How could one not enjoy looking at such a gift?

One of Gemini's thumbs traced over his lips, feeling the way his breath hitched. The tension was unbearable. They have never done this before and messing up would be humiliating.

Eventually they shut their eyes, pressing their lips against his. They could feel lunar tense up, one of their arms wrapping around his waist. The taste of the poison was unpleasant but it didn't bother them. Why should it, this was something they should've done a long time ago. It lasted long enough for them to be out of breath, despite not needing to breath.

Once they pulled back, they could see his flustered expression, drawing a small chuckle from them. Once lunar raised a hand to their face to wipe something away, did they realise that their plan did seem to work. They tasted the poison, so they must have ingested it too.

"Why would you do that..?"
The worry and annoyance in his voice was evident, but they could only give him a smile as their hand rested on his cheek, holding him ever so gently.

"Why would we not? Besides, it won't harm us as much"
They answered with a soft tone, hoping to ease his nerves. Sure, it wasn't the best decision they've made but it also wasn't one they've regretted. This way they could stay with him, recover with him and be close. What a way to bond.

Lunar huffed, but didn't pry further, resting his head in their chest. If they were to stay then he'd make the best out of it. Having someone to cuddle at night didn't seem that bad.
