Simon could sort of tell. He leaned over, hugging her gently. “It’s gonna be okay.” He reassured softly.

Mia let out a soft hum, hugging back.
"Yeah… but it'll take time." They needed to be realistic.

“Yeah I know.” He agreed, resting his chin on her shoulder.

Mia reached her hand up to rest on the back of Simon's hand, her fingers brushing over his hair.

“Do you think he meant it?” Simon asked, even though he knew Mia wouldn’t know the answer either.

"I… I hope so, Simon." She wasn't about to say she didn't trust a word that came out of Astral's mouth, and that they should just try to run away.

He nodded, not pressing the matter any further. “Me too…” he said softly.

Mia let out a soft hum, rubbing Simon's back.
"Thing's'll work out…"

“I really hope so…” he said softly. They both needed things to be okay.

Mia closed her eyes a moment, hugging Simon still.
"I wish he really will get better. I… I don't want him to hurt you anymore…"

“I don’t want to be hurt anymore either…and I don’t want him to hurt you anymore either.”

Mia nodded slowly, her eyes still closed.
"I hope he can actually change, after so long…"

“Yeah….we really need him to change. I think he can. If he really wants to.” Simon said certainly.

"If he wants to." Mia doubted he did, though. She fully believed he was just toying with them until the baby was born, and then he'd stick them on a shelf, or maybe turn them into toys for the baby.

Simon…well, let’s just say he always tried to see the best in people. Even if they didn’t deserve it. His mind would focus in on any little kindness and use it to believe that that person could be like that again. He was most definitely doing that with Astral at the moment.

(oh boy ;w;)
(I too come with terrifying idea: The complete control. But on Mia.)

Mia… Was a pessimist. Even if she saw just the smallest bit of her, she would never trust the person in case they did something to her.
Mia stayed close to Simon, eyes closed as they held each other.

((Mhmmmmm))
((Oh fuck ;-;))

Simon held on to her tightly, letting his eyes slide shut as he let out a gentle sigh.

((ANyWaY Wanna hear my random angst? I definitely didn’t cry making these up))

(Yes of course)

Mia moved to gently pat Simon's back as he let out the sigh. Things would be okay, soon enough.

“Mia?” He asked softly. “What are we gonna do? If things don’t work out?” He sounded so fragile, so scared of the answer. He really needed things to work out.

((Sooooooo for one, Simon wouldn’t just go nonverbal, he’d stop moving around and pretty much not do anything except sit, and stare at a wall, all day. He doesn’t even respond if you grab his hand or anything. For two, imagine…if the kid was old enough to remember when Simon still talked and moved around and seemed happy. So they go, and they visit Simon all the time, and talk to him even though Simon never talks back. The kid’s the only one Simon acknowledges to any degree. Sometimes he’ll squeeze their hand, or smile at them softly, but that’s really it. Also imagine, when the kid was younger, and they’d keep asking Astral what happened to Simon :) ))

"I… I don't know," Mia said softly. "I don't know what we could do…" If it was anything at all. She hug Simon tight, patting his back.

(Oh god… Astral wouldn't go anywhere near Simon, of course, except perhaps to feed him. And the kid always ends up going into the room with Simon when Astral's working and just tells him about their day, and sometimes they sit on his lap and sometimes they sit at his feet with their toys. Usually Mia will be the one to come in and get the child when it's time to leave and you very much get the sense that Mia is slowly replacing Simon as the second parental figure against her will)

“Y-Yeah I figured…” he said, expecting the answer but being disappointed by it nonetheless.

((Omg that’d be so sad. Simon would definitely ignore her too then. Simon somehow still manages to take care of himself. The most action he ever takes is making sure Astral stays the hell away from him. He hates him wholeheartedly now.))

(And it's not like Mia has a choice, since Astral's controlling her then, but Simon has no way of knowing. And Astral does visit eventually, but always under the threat that if Simon lashes out he'll go back under Astral's control)

"But we'll make this work out, one way or another," Mia assured. She hugged Simon closer, eyes opening a moment to look down at him.

((Yeah :/ and Simon of course then wouldn’t lash out but in the most annoyed way he possibly can))

“Y-yeah….” Simon hugged her tightly, hiding his face in her shoulder. He was worried, of course he was, but what could he do about it?

(One day Astral just kinda snaps and picks Simon up, and very much quotes the rp title, and then he just kinda… yeah he just does whatever the hell he wants to at that point because this obviously didn't work out and he officially isn't going to ever try to be nice to anyone but the Child)

"We'll get through this…" One way or another, even if they died trying. Mia hummed gently, trying to help Simon calm down.
