(FOUR TIMES FUCKERS I WANNA DIEEEE)

"Okay, then," Astral said, letting out a breath then. He didn't want to upset Simon. Mia was frowning herself, her hand slipping into Simon's.

Derlik gently kissed Kye's forehead, pulling the boy close to his chest.
"You know I can feel when you're upset," the god said softly. "What's wrong?" The god tucked Kye under his chin, beginning to rub his back.

Kye couldn't hold back the gentle sobs that overcame him. "I… I can't get these… scary thoughts out of my head…" he whispered, words coming out in between him trying to regain his regular breathing pattern. "T-that almost everyone I love… almost died today…"

Simon instantly felt bad when he felt Mia’s hand slip into his. He should’ve checked with her first before replying to Astral. He squeezed her hand, and sent her a quick apologetic smile.

"I… I'm sorry," Derlik said softly. He hugged Kye close as he sat up, holding his son in his lap. "I'm so, so sorry I scared you so much today…" Derlik felt tears pricking at his own eyes, and he kissed son's head again.
"We're okay, everyone is gonna be okay. This will never happen again, okay?"

Mia didn't say a word, just resting her head on Simon's shoulder. Astral watched, until finally he stood.
"I think I should be leaving, anyway," he said, turning from the two.

Kye shook his head. "Don't say sorry. It's not your fault. I… it's not anyone's fault…? I don't know…" he said, hands gripping the fabric of Derlik's clothes. "O-okay… I… I asked Marcos if I could go see Wren when he feels better. I… really miss him."

“Okay. I’ll see you later then.” Simon said, waiting for him to leave before turning to Mia. “You okay?”

"Then we'll go see him as soon as he's okay, then," Derlik promised. "I know it's been a long while since you've seen him…" Derlik kissed Kye's head, taking a hold of one of Kye's hands.
"I love you…"

Mia closed her eyes until Simon spoke, looking up at him.
"Yeah… I think so."

“I’m sorry I should’ve checked with you first to see if it was okay. I forget he upsets you a lot more than he upsets me.” Simon sighed, hugging her tightly.

Kye snuggled closer to Derlik, giving him a small hum in reply at first. His breathing eventually slowed, tears falling quietly. He let his hands be taken into his fatherly patron's and he gave a weak smile at the kiss.
"I love you too…"

"It's… it's okay," Mia said softly. "I'm glad, that you don't get as upset anymore. Even if it would be better if we just left."

Derlik ran his fingers through Kye's hair, smiling back a little.
"Things are going to be okay. I'm sure Wren will be soon, too." The god of chaos kissed Kye's head again, glad to see Kye had calmed down.

"Dad…?" he asked quietly, voice slightly muffled as his face was half against Derlik's shirt. "Why did you never tell me about you visiting Wren. He told us you went there a lot…"

“Yeah…I still wish we could just leave. I think it’d be really nice.” Simon sighed softly, looking down at the bed. “Hey Mia? Would you be mad? If I forgave Astral? I mean if he actually does get better?”

(It really would be so nice :0)
(Mia in the background: angy protective fren noises)

"I…" Damnit, he'd never thought he'd have to explain this. "Well, I'd visit him occasionally to make sure he didn't get too lonely." Derlik didn't look away, but he wanted to.

"I… no, I wouldn't be," Mia finally admitted. "I'd be… worried."

Despite the fact that Kye could feel every emotion his father felt, he could never tell if Derlik was lying. The boy stopped trying a long time ago, but more recently he didn't feel the need to. The god who had become his father hadn't had the need to lie in a long time. So he trusted him.
"Oh. Well that's good. He said he was kind of annoyed with certain things you woke him up for, but you did it to be nice," he replied. The last part wasn't phrased like a question. Despite living for so long, he was still too naive.

Simon sighed softly. “Yeah that makes sense. I just- it might work out better for all of us in the long run if I do.” Plus he did miss the way things used to be. But there was no way he’d tell Mia that.

(Astral: is slowly slipping back into old habits on accident)
(Kye, getting dropped off with a suitcase: See you later dad!)
(Astral: W h a t-)

"Yes, well… you know how I can go a bit overboard sometimes on some things…" Derlik had never thought Wren would ever be able to come out of stasis for real, that Marcos would always keep him locked away. It… was strange to see Marcos actually doing things to fix their relationship.

"Hopefully…" Mia let out a soft breath, snuggling close to Simon's side. "For all of us." It was a good thing Simon didn't tell Mia- she'd think he was brainwashed, and would never let Astral near him again.

((That’d be hilarious omg))

“I just hope things actually work out. He seems like he’s trying right? At least right now.”

((Simon like “no Mia I haven’t been brainwashed I’m just desperate for a relationship”))
