The trinket was genuinely confused by this.
I've never seen him act like this before… It was so strange. Just what did he do??

“Really?” He didn’t think about it too much, his mind already on to the next question. He felt himself getting excited all over again. “Ooh! Look, look!” He took his shirt back off, actually happy to do so. “I’m all flat now!”

Oh! So Simon was biologically female, then? This really was out of character for Astral, to do something so positive for once.
Oh my goodness, that's so good!!

He nodded, beaming. “And I mean, he hasn’t asked me for anything in return yet but if he does, I’ll be happy to give it to him, no matter what it is.” All his words kind of came out in a hurry. He went over to the bed, flopping down onto it. That was one thing he’d have to get used to now, not feeling that jiggle whenever he sat down, even with his binder it had never gone away completely.

Anything? Really? Those words could be dangerous. The trinket was on the bed,bounced a bit by Simon's actions with a small squeak of fear.

(oh god, to be jiggle free–)

“Oh shoot, sorry!” He said, picking up the trinket. He nodded. “Yeah anything I think…” he knew that was stupid, but he still said it anyway. “Astral’s done more for me then anyone else has done for me in my entire life. Even with people that I’ve been in relationships with, people have publicly misgendered me and harassed me in front of them all, and they never did a thing about it, never corrected them, never stood up for me.” It made him sad to think about. “So I don’t care what Astral will want in return, I owe him a lot.”

The trinket let out a soft breath of relief when they were picked up.
I… he will demand a lot of you, They finally warned. But if it really does mean this much to you… I have a feeling he'll still treat you kindly in this manner, even if it is only just this one way. Astral would need something to hold over Simon's head, after all.

“I figured he would, but that’s okay. If that’s the only way I’ll be able to repay him for this, then so be it.” Knowing that he was pretty much homeless, he’d just accepted that he’d never have enough money to ever get top surgery. So being able to be given this sensation of freedom and comfort meant a lot to him.

The trinket fell quiet for just a moment.
Do you want to know what he'll ask of you? They finally said. It might help- but it would be terrifying, too.

“No not really. If that’s okay…” He knew whatever it was, it would be bad, and he just wanted to feel happy right now for a bit.

I understand. The trinket fell quiet a moment. To be honest, they didn't know what to say at this point. They knew just want Simon has in store for him…

“I should probably head to bed now…it is really late. We can always talk more in the morning though!” He smiled softly, gently setting the trinket on the nightstand so he wouldn’t crush it in his sleep.

Alright then. Good night. The trinket was glad there was no risk of them getting crossed, but they did miss the warmth.

Simon closed his eyes, leaning over and turning off the lights. He felt safer knowing that the trinket was there, it was sort of a friend to him now, at least he thought so. He didn’t have time to think anymore as he felt himself drift off.

((Time skip??))

(Ye!)

Astral woke up relatively early, considering how late they were both up; he was used to it, after all. He hummed softly, making his way towards the bedroom to check on Simon. He knocked once, then let himself in.
"Good morning," he said softly, going to wake the other man.

Simon was still fast asleep, the only part of him that was really visible being his hair. However, on the nightstand, his phone was buzzing, it was on vibrate so it wouldn’t inevitably end up waking Simon up. The phone stopped buzzing, a notification on the screen saying that he now had 15 missed calls, all of them from the same person.

Astral smiled some when he saw hw Simon was sleeping. He was about to shake the man lightly awake, but he was stopped by the phone buzzing.
First off, how did this man's phone have service? Astral raised an eyebrow, picking the phone up to look at it. Who was this person trying to call his toy? They were insistent, it seemed, but it was too late now. Simon was his. Astral set the phone down, letting out a soft sigh. He sat down on the bed, lightly placing his hand on Simon's shoulder.

Apparently that was enough to wake Simon up. He rolled over, yawning softly. He looked up at Astral, smiling a bit. “Good morning..” he said quietly.

"Good morning," Astral said with a soft smile.
"How did you sleep last night? I know it was a while before you actually got to go to sleep."

“Mm pretty well…I didn’t sleep in too late did I?” He asked worriedly, sitting up a bit in bed and attempting to comb through the mess that was his hair with his fingers.

"No, not at all." Astral chuckled just a bit.
"How are you feeling? There haven't been an complications, have there?"

“As far as I’m aware, no. Everything’s fine.” He said, his smile widening. He winced a bit as his hand got stuck on a tangle in his hair. “Ow, ow, ow!” He mumbled softly, finally managing to pull his hand free.

Astral nodded some, smiling a bit. He held back a laugh when Simon got his hand stuck in his hair, pulling open the drawer to the bedside table to pull out a brush. He offered it to Simon.
"I think this might hurt less then your fingers," he said.

He smiled sheepishly. “Thanks.” He said, taking it from Astral and gently beginning to brush through his hair.
