Simon began to eat, of course rather slowly and only taking small amounts, but he was happier now. He hummed softly as he ate.

Astral had a healthy appetite, eating quietly. He looked up to see Simon picking at his food. He worried a moment- what about the baby?
"Not hungry?" He asked after a moment.

He flushed with embarrassment, nodding a bit. “I’m sorry…” he said quietly.

"No, no, it's alright. I just want to make sure you get enough to eat. It's important to take care of yourself." Astral let his empty plate to the side, reaching over to lightly rest his hand on Simon's.

He smiled softly at the other. “That’s very kind of you…” he said quietly, trying to eat a bit more for Astral’s sake.

Astral let out a soft sigh. He was glad Simon was trying, but if he forced himself he wouldn't be about to take much more.
"We can eat again later, when you actually have an appetite," he said softly. "It's okay."

“O-okay.” He said, stopping, looking up at the other.

Astral stood, taking Simon's plate. He smiled gently. To be quite frank, if Simon kept this up Astral would strap him to a chair and force feed him until the child was born. But, for now, he let it slide. He hummed softly, going to the sink to deal with their plates.

((Noooo it’s not his fault ;-;))

“Do you need help?” He asked when Astral started doing the dishes. He didn’t want to cause more problems for the other today than he already had.

Astral looked down when Simon came over.
"You can if you want to!" He set a plate down in the drainer, offering Simon a towel.

He smiled a bit at that. “Thank you.” He said, taking the towel from Astral and starting to dry the dishes.

"You're welcome!" Astral hummed as they worked together, still in a good mood. He wasn't sure there was anything that could happen this day that would change that, and that was okay. He was almost giddy at the thought of raising his own child- maybe Simon would even get to help, too.

Simon enjoyed the feeling of actually doing something for once. He moved rather quickly, and they were both done in no time.

Astral noticed the change in Simon, smiling some. Perhaps it wouldn't be too bad to let the man help around. Still, he needed to keep the work to a minimum.
"So, ready to go?"

He nodded excitedly, smiling widely at the other. “Mhm!” He was glad Astral was letting them go.

"Let's go, then!" Arien offered his hand to Simon, just like he had that very first time. He was grinning back at Simon.
"Don't forget to close your eyes."

He took Astral’s hand and did as he was told, closing his eyes, excited to get going.

Astral pulled Simon close, wrapping both arms around him to make sure the human was secure. In a flash of light, they were in the human world. Astral had taken on his more human form, grinning down at Simon.
"We're here!"

He smiled, opening his eyes. It was nice to be back. “So what do we want to do?” He asked, looking up at the other.

Astral looked around, shrugging just a touch.
"You did say you'd like to get some things. Perhaps we could go shopping?"

“That might be nice if you wouldn’t mind too much.” He said, still staying close to the other.

"Not at all! Though, I might have to stop by a temple to get some money." Astral laughed lightly.
"The priestesses will be quite surprised." Astral held Simon's hand in his, beginning to lead him down the road.

He laughed softly at that, already enjoying spending time with Astral. Maybe the other wasn’t as bad as he sometimes feared.

Astral was smiling, and he was in a good mood as he led Simon down the road. He glanced down at the man, offering him a grin. The perfect breeding mate, right here by his side.

Simon blushed faintly at Astral’s smile. Simon looked around as they walked. It was weird to see other people again, just going throughout their normal lives without a care in the world. “I didn’t know you had temples.” He commented as they walked. He sometimes forgot that Astral was a god that people actually worshipped. That just felt weird to him.
