Astral let out a soft breath as Simon hugged the god in turn, gently patting the other's back.
"You're welcome, Simon…"

Simon smiled contently, giving Astral another quick squeeze, but not making any move to leave the god’s arms.

"Comfortable?" There was no agitation in Astral's voice. If anything, he sounded content himself with Simon in his arms. He relaxed a bit, patting Simon's back again.

“Mhm…thanks.” He mumbled back in response, letting out a happy sigh. To be fair, the god was pretty comfortable.

Astral chuckled softly, moving his hand to be resting on Simon's head. He hummed some, relaxing more. He had to admit, this was nice. To be holding someone who wasn't terrified of him.

At this point, Simon could fall right back asleep, tucked away in the god’s arms. He was just really feeling safe and secure at the moment and he loved it.

Astral, after the night on the couch, would be more than happy for a quick nap. He looked down at Simon, smiling softly as he moved his hand over Simon's head once. He'd be good to this human, then.

Simon liked that, leaning into the god’s touch with a soft hum. He was glad Astral was being so nice to him.

Astral held back a small chuckle at how Simon reacted to the head rubbing, repeating the motion with a smile. Mia was watching all of this, of course, surprised nothing had happened yet.

Simon’s small, soft smile widened as Astral repeated the motion, continuing to hum happily at the attention.

Astral smiled in turn, beginning to properly massage Simon's head with a gentle touch, playing with his hair some.
"Like it?" he inquired, still smiling as he held Simon close.

“Mhm!” He replied enthusiastically, looking like he was absolutely in heaven. Which we know is a place he will never go so that can’t be it.

Well, in this world, the palace would be as close to heaven as Simon would ever get.
"Okay!" Astral laughed softly, pulling Simon a bit closer as he continued. He looked happy with their current situation. He going to end up massaging Simon a lot, wasn't he?

If it always made Simon this happy, then yes, Astral would probably end up doing it for him a lot. Simon relaxed into Astral’s chest, just letting the god keep doing his thing.

Soon, Astral's hands had lowered to Simon's shoulders, massaging them in turn. He chuckled softly, holding Simon close. So cute… The god looked content as he worked on the knots in Simon's shoulders, humming softly.

Simon was very glad, he definitely needed it. He felt like his body hadn’t been fully relaxed in months.

Astral continued, only pausing to open the desk drawer and pull out a small vial. He dabbed a bit of its contents onto his fingertip, rubbing it between a few of his fingers on both hands before going back to massaging Simon.
Whatever it was, it'd work wonders on his body. One of the perks of being a god was having access to the best of the best.

Whatever it was, it definitely felt like it was working. At this point Simon could literally die and he probably wouldn’t notice, he was just that content.

Astral smiled at the look on Simon's face as he worked the mortal's shoulders, humming some. Soon, he pulled his hands away with a gentle pat to let Simon know he'd gotten all the knots out.
"Feeling better?" He asked, bringing Simon back into a proper hug.

“Yes, lots better.” He reassured, practically melting into the god’s arms. “Thank you so much.”

"You're welcome," Astral said. He smiled, moving to be resting more o the bed. Even god's tired after giving someone a good, thorough massage. He hummed some, patting Simon's back. If this was what life here with Simon was going to be like, Astral was surprised he found himself liking the idea.

((I like how every time Mia’s like “be careful” Simon just doesn’t do it at all omg XD))

Simon let his eyes slide shut, perfectly happy in the god’s arms. He was trying not to fall asleep but it didn’t help that Astral was just so warm.

(Mia: Be careful)
(Simon: Okay!)
(Simon, five seconds later: hhhnghf massage oil go brrrrrrrrrrr)

Astral blinked some himself, eventually just closing them in defeat. His heartbeat slowed some, a deep, steady lullaby Simon's head just so happened to be resting right over. The god shifted a bit on the bed, holding Simon close.

((Simon: but have you considered that my weakness is men-))

After a few more minutes, Simon drifted off to sleep again, still clinging tightly to the god, his body perfectly relaxed now. He was so comfortable that he’d forgotten he hadn’t even gotten to put his binder on this morning. Simon’s lungs get to live for another few hours.

(XD)

Astral was close to sleep himself, but he managed to lay down completely without disturbing Simon and pulled the blanket over them both. So, with his arms still holding Simon to his chest, the god snoozed off as well. Yes, his bed was much more comfortable than the couch. It helped to have Simon in his arms, too. It was… confusing, but nice.
