tune

Astral moved to cup Simon's cheek, holding him close.
"I… Simon…" he said softly, holding the man closer. "It isn't…" The god let out a soft sigh, letting it go. Simon wasn't ready for it, it seemed, and that was okay.

“I just….” he was trying to find the right words to explain. “It’s just been what I’ve had to deal with to survive I guess.”

Astral nodded, holding Simon close.
"Well, you won't have to, ever again," he promised, voice soft.

He nodded. “Thank you….really thank you so much.” He said softly.

"You're welcome, Simon… it's the least I can do for you." The god pulled Simon into a hug, falling silent as he did.

Simon hugged Astral tightly, not wanting the god to pull away any time soon. He felt safe like this.

Astral didn't plan on pulling away any time soon.
"I've got you, Simon…" The god moved to gently rub Simon's back, grip tightening some to hold him closer.

Simon relaxed against Astral, content to let the god hold him for as long as he wanted to.

Astral was content to hold Simon as long as he was allowed, which settled them neatly into the situation of neither of them wanting to get up. The god moved to lay down, Simon held protectively to his chest.

Simon let out a content sigh, closing his eyes. He was basically huddled as close to the god as he could be, enjoying the other’s warmth.

Astral hummed softly, rubbing Simon's back. He tucked Simon's head under his chin, arms secure.
"Mm…"

Simon stayed quiet, just letting his mind drift wherever. Which of course, led to him almost drifting off to sleep.

Astral glanced down when he realized Simon was drifting off, slowly beginning to hum a soft tune. An old lullaby, from his… Mother. The god held Simon close, his own eyes closing.

Simon didn’t feel as bad about falling asleep then, and let himself relax completely. Within only a few minutes he was out.

Astral continued to hum as Simon fell asleep, looking to Mia when he was sure Simon was out.
"You take good care of him while I can't, you hear?" He asked softly, no threat in his tone. Mia was silent, but Astral knew she would.

((Awwwww ;w;))

Simon was sleeping peacefully, knowing he was safe as long as he was in the god’s arms. He was really beginning to like this life he’d found for himself.

Astral fell silent, not falling asleep but still holding Simon to himself. He hoped Simon really would be safe and happy here. He closed his eyes, just letting himself rest with Simon.

Simon seemed like he would stay asleep until woken up, which was good. He really did need the rest.

Astral eventually fell asleep himself, and would stay that way until morning. He hummed some as he did, head tucked against Simon's hair.

Simon would end up waking up early the next morning, considering they both did fall asleep rather early. But even as he woke up he didn’t make any moves to get up. It was just….he was comfy, okay?

Astral woke up a few minutes after Simon, looking down with a small smile.
"Morning…" The god yawned some, hugging Simon a touch closer.

“M-morning.” He stammered out, a bit surprised, not knowing that Astral was up. He looked up at the other, smiling softly.

Astral chuckled faintly as Simon stuttered, hugging him.
"Did you sleep well?"

“Mhm…how about you?” He asked. “I wasn’t too uncomfortable was I?”

Astral smiled softly, his head moving closer.
"I slept wonderfully, with you in my arms…" the god hummed some, setting his chin back on top of Simon's head.
