“Woah.” Simon gaped for a second before a smile appeared on his face. He clapped his hands together once. “That’s so cool!!” He exclaimed. Of course Simon being Simon, automatically wanted to pet the leopard, but he kept his distance, just to be safe.
Astral scratched down the leopard's back, grinning some. He chuckled some, looking up at Simon.
"I'm glad you liked it!" The god stood, the leopard staying by his side.
"What do you think we should call him?"
“I’m not really sure, I’m kind of bad with names. Do you have any ideas?” Simon asked, looking back at Astral. It was true that he was bad at choosing names. It’d taken him ages to be sure about his own name.
(
well then after the scene that's coming up that won't be a problem! <3)
((still thinking about this and still nervous))
((random as hell but if they do end up low key dating for a bit before Simon finds out about…ya know, and if they fuckin like- sLoW dAnCe tOgeThEr I will c r y))
(good, you should be <3)
(if they start dating, they definitely will, but also Astral would probably feel horrible about what he did and confess to Simon–)
Astral thought a moment.
"Michael," Astral finally said. It was cheesy, sure, but it worked. Astral made his way back over to Simon's side and took his hand, the leopard following after.
((Astral?? :0 feeling…r e g r e t???))
He nodded, “I like it.” He smiled when Astral took his hand. “Well should we head back?” He asked.
((also Simon would just fuckin stop talking to Astral completely sooooo, but that’ll happen either way))
((You thought it impossible, but Astral can actually feel things!! He absolutely hates it!))
"Yes, let's." Astral looked between Simon and Michael, wrapping his arm fulling around the mortal and holding him close as he set the other hand on the leopard's head. Once he was sure both had their eyes closed, he pulled them all back to the palace with a grin.
((Yeah, pretty much lol, but this will be worse because Astral would be guilty as f u c k and do anything he could to get Simon to at least talk to him again, if not care for him))
((:000000000))
Simon leaned gently into Astral’s side, a content smile as he closed his eyes. Even once he knew they were in the palace, he took a second to pull away.
((well that’ll be a fun struggle for Astral to have to deal with :) because Simon will just start to completely hate him))
Astral left his arm around Simon in turn, reaching up the hand that had been on the leopard's hand to rest on Simon's for now. He was smiling some, content to be holding the human.
(understandable lol)
(I just had a horrible idea that I hate wanna hear it?)
(yes and no)
(Astral)
(Starts caring for Simon more than the child)
(And)
(Makes Simon… ah… the not pregnant before he finds out)
((But then we can’t have a n g s t))
Simon was admittedly, hesitant to pull away, but he did after a few more moments. He smiled up at Astral again. “Thanks for today…I had a lot of fun.” He said, trying his gosh darn hardest not to blush but most likely failing.
(But what if Simon found out and was double upset at Astral doing it then getting rid of the child?? And Astral uber distraught because he killed his likely only chance to have a child??)
Astral left his hand on Simon's head.
"I'm glad you enjoyed it," the god said softly. He smiled, so sweet, when he saw the soft blush on Simon.
"Let's do it again soon sometime, hm?"
((Okay you’re right that’d be angsty too))
((Astral hella upset as if there aren’t a lot of depressed trans guys who are pre-op and aren’t on T lmao))
He nodded a bit, of course only blushing more at that. “S-sounds nice.” He said, looking away as if that would hide it. And then it actually hit him what an idiot he was being. He couldn’t feel like this. No, nope, absolutely not. He wouldn’t let himself.
(Astral can have me! I really don’t mind torture and I am also a depressed trans guy pre-op and unable to attain man juice, torture is fine because I’m a kinky bastard lol)
(Mhmmmmmm)
(But Simon is speciaaaaaal)
Astral let out a soft chuckle at Simon's actions. He was just so precious… he didn't want this to end. He knew it would, though, once the pregnancy began to show…
The god moved a bit closer to Simon, hugging him a moment.
"It'll be your turn to pick where we go next time, then," Astral said, smiling.
(I— oh geez XD damn me too XD)
(Oh lawd what have I started-)
(What you've started, my dear friend, is me wondering how Astral would react to meeting you–)
((”Man juice” I- XD))
(I would just Straight Up Cry in his arms. I would not mind having his kid if we like, actually planned it out because on the one hand gender dysphoria but on the other hand super hot god husband who will keep me safe and provide for me for all my days and might just give me Man Body after I have his prophecy-popper.)
((
”Man juice” I- XD))
(It is-)
He nodded, hugging the god in response. “Okay…I’m looking forward to it.” He said, staying for a few seconds longer than necessary before pulling away.
((ig Mia just be vibing lol))
((
”Man juice” I- XD))(It is-)
((I mean yeah-))
