Simon had never heard the god stuttering this much. It made him worried. “Is it dangerous?” He asked quietly.

"I– You see… G-gods are just souls with no bodies, yeah? Well, we still need a physical tie to this world, a-and… that's mine. All the gods have one, even the minor ones, b-but… it, it shouldn't be here, Marcos is supposed to watch over all of them…" Astral had frozen, not taking another step closer to the flower.

Simon was curious of how it had gotten here but he knew that right now he needed to get Astral to calm down. “Well then you can just let Marcos know that it ended up here somehow. Everything will be okay, nothing’s going to happen to it right now.”

Astral nodded just a bit.
"I-I… yeah…" Astral turned so he wasn't facing the flower, shaking his head some.
"Is… are you good with staying here? It'll… be best if I tell him as soon as possible."

“Yeah! Yeah…I’m fine with that. I’ll stay wherever you want me to.” He reassured, keeping his voice calm.

Astral carefully set Simon down, letting out a shaky sigh.
"Y-you can go wherever you want, of course, I just- it might not be a good idea for you to come with me." Astral gave Simon a quick hug, then pulled away.

“O-okay I’ll probably just go back to the living room then or something.” He said, hugging Astral back tightly before letting go of him. “How long do you think you’ll be gone?” He asked.

_{((Why do I feel like Mother will be hella transphobic towards Simon .-.))}

"I… less than half an hour, I'm sure," Astral promised. Would Simon do okay on his own..? Astral was starting to doubt that. Still, he couldn't let the human see how he treated his 'boyfriend.'

He nodded. “Okay go ahead then. I’ll be okay, promise.” He reassured, stepping away from Astral.

"Alright… I'll be back soon," Astral promised. He glanced at the flower one last time, then took off out of the room.

Simon watched the god go, his brow still furrowed with concern. He’d never seen Astral freak out like that. He still didn’t even understand why this was a matter of such concern besides the fact that the flower just wasn’t where it was supposed to be. He turned, looking at the flower, curious. Not curious enough to approach it, but curious enough to stay for a moment.

The flower was a golden orange color, the five pointed petals all leaning slightly downward. There was something… Off, about it, but it wasn't easy to pin down what it was. Astral had already said it was his physical tie to the world, but perhaps that wasn't all.

Simon was now of course, deeply curious. If it was something that could hurt him…Astral would’ve made sure he left the room….right? ‘Yeah..yeah that makes sense. I’m not doing anything wrong.’ He reassured himself, taking a small step closer.

Astral had also been shaken up by the mere sight of it. He might have forgotten something…
The flower seemed to tilt towards Simon, but it was very hard to tell. It would be so, so easy to step closer, and it was very pretty…
The flower cast it's spell over Simon, pulling the man closer.

((Welp there goes Simon. F in the chat ig XD))

Simon of course, couldn’t help it now, taking a few more steps closer to the flower. Some part of his mind was trying to scream at him to stop, that he shouldn’t be doing this but…that just didn’t seem too important right now.

((Okay why am I actually really scared thoooooo))

(You'll see <3)

The petals of the flower seemed to open more now that Simon was closer, a shining object to be found there. It was hard to tell what it was, but it seemed so pretty…
Touch it. Touch it.
Touch it

((Bruh I’m about to have a heart attack jyduytduilg))

Simon’s real conscience got through enough for him to be able to stop his hand from moving, just for a second. But it wasn’t enough. The conscious part of his mind kept fighting, slowing his hand as it stretched out to touch the flower, delaying the inevitable, even as the desire to touch it grew and grew.

Now, the petals reached up towards Simon's hands, there was no denying it. Closer, closer, come closer child! There's no way I could hurt you, how could any part of Astral ever hurt you? He loves you! Come, come, I'll show you, just touch my center child, and everything will be okay.

So of course Simon was mentally freaking the fuck out but he was no longer in control of his body whatsoever as he reached out and finally touched that fucking flower.
