☽ SAILOR MOON AESTHETICS ☾ - HELIOS (エリオス)
“I am Helios, the High Priest of Elysion. Elysion is a holy land that protects the Earth. It rests quietly deep within this planet, almost like the planet’s living heart. My mission is to protect Elysion, and this planet, the Earth.”
“Could someone explain this holiday to me...? I don’t understand it...”
I apologize for my absence! I intend to be much more active.
“Who are you talking to?”
This one drew her - he was interesting, with his white hair, his curious clothes, and more important above all else, his aura. He felt like a dim bulb, compared to the Senshi she had escaped from, but he wasn’t a human. Humans didn’t draw her silver crystal like that. And the fact that he seemed to be talking to himself, that helped.
“Isn’t Christmas just a date night?”
“Date night...?” he mused softly, tilting his head. I was under the impression that it meant something else for children.”
He paused, gazing at her for a short time before realizing what he had done. He shook his head quickly.
“I’m not talking to anyone...I suppose I was just lost in thought.”
“Sometimes I envy you, Helios.” Setsuna confessed, with a soft smile on her lips, as she watched the boy with curiosity.
“To be able to see people’s dreams. I would imagine nothing’s as pure as people’s dreams.” As for herself, she couldn’t remember most of hers. What did she normally dream of?
“Envy....? While it is a gift I am thankful for...Sometimes the consequences of having this ability are somewhat painful. Not every dream is pleasant.”
He had a somewhat distressed look on his face, and bit his lip. He didn’t open up about his duty often- it was rather lonely.
“Ah, it’s that time of December again, isn’t it? ‘Christmas’... The dreams I see are especially beautiful in winter, it’s truly when I see pure souls shining the brightest.”
........Good morning.
Send "You take such joy in pretending you're okay" to see how my muse reacts.
A Tiny Star
ofelysion
All this little one knew was one thing - a throbbing pain in her head and chest. It was just there and it was a horrible feeling. And the only thing she could do was cry.
But through it all, she was enveloped in warmth and the throbbing pain slowly faded. As she calmed down, she could hear a voice…
It took Helios a while to respond to the cries of the infant, as for some time he’d been simply staring in awe and admiration of the new life. He’d let out a small gasp when her face scrunched up, however, and was quick to lift the tiny baby into his arms.
She was so...small. Helios had seen babies before, so he of course knew of their diminutive size, but something about holding a child- his own child - was just different.
“H-hello little one...” he managed to stammer, fully aware that she could not hear him. “I’m....dad.”
He heard a soft giggle from his beloved wife, much to his dismay. Blushing lightly out of slight embarrassment, Helios allowed the squirming girl to grip his finger.
“I want to give you a life where you don’t have to cry.”
She wasn’t expecting company, as she was house-watching for her parents and Shingo while they were away for the weekend on a trip to visit extended family, but Usagi didn’t mind having the company. Mamoru was so busy at the hospital and with Jadeite lately, and she was doing her best, too.
Blinking a couple times at his comments, she bit her lower lip in thought.
“What kinds of questions do they ask?” she inquired, wondering what he was struggling with. She wasn’t surprised that Helios would be feeling out of sorts, since he was familiar with a very different world. Luckily, Usagi knew how to navigate this one, so he came to the right woman!
“Very confusing ones. They say to me, ‘Do you want to go to the movies’ and about conventions such as ‘dates’. They also call my name very informally compared to what I learned while I studied Japanese....”
Pausing, Helios ran a hand through his hair.
“Several of the boys and girls of my class become angry with me when I refuse offers from either gender, but if I accept, Chibiusa and other people become angry with me...I don’t understand this at all!”
Just for reference- my non smrps are tagged with “non smrp” while my smrp rps are tagged as “smrp”, so if you wish to block tags, you are able.
To expect that she didn’t catch the change was a little silly, flashes of light were flashes of light. But she supposed it didn’t matter. If he felt more comfortable n his street clothes who was she to judge?
“Mamoru Chiba? You’re friends with Usagi’s boyfriend?” And Tuxedo Mask for that matter. “I see… You seem quite a bit younger than him though. Was he your babysitter?” She chuckled a little to herself as she filled the kettle with water.
Helios chuckled softly.
“No, Miss Ikuko, it was almost the other way around.”
The white haired boy shifted uncomfortably as she stood there, and began to wring his hands.
“Please, allow me to do something for you...I am fairly adept at baking, I often make small confections for Mamoru.”
“I suppose so, though, it’s nothing to be ashamed of.
Endymion used to be very dense himself. It goes away
once you find someone you love.” She said before
walking closer to the boy, “Helios, do sit down, you
look as if I told you you’re dying. “
“Y-your Highness, I do believe I actually am dying. I am having heart palpitations like never before.”
Helios took a deep breath.
“I wish I was more...adept with these sorts of matters. Besides...Would it not be taboo for me and Chibiusa to have a relationship...? Despite the time of peace, I am still forced to remain in Elysion, so...”
Was he actually discussing dating Chibiusa with her mother?
Starter call!
So, he did do this for me.
“You are not in the wrong here…though I shall forgive you.” She couldn’t rid the smile on her face, but it did quiver at the mentioning of her unusual behavior. How should she begin to explain her feelings? It seemed impossible to explain to those you love, she would try to smooth it out as best she could. “It’s true. As of late I have been feeling unwell…and it’s odd because I am surround by many people who care for me and I for them. So there shouldn’t be a reason for me to be unhappy. It was bothering me because I couldn’t solve the mystery behind such negative emotions…”
Taking a breath she continued, “I believe I’ve figured it out now…a part of me was missing you, when I saw you I felt something in me become whole again.” Lady Serenity squeezed his hand and directed him to stand on his feet again. “I’m happy again, I have you.”
Helios felt his pale cheeks slowly heat up, and he did his best to keep eye contact with the princess. He had never done well while embarrassed- though he was much more confident in his youth, at least with Chibiusa, he had felt himself become much more timid the older they had gotten, especially as the two of them had hid a certain age.
“I...Well, the feeling is mutual, maiden. You see, it was always very...well, lonely in Elysion for me, ever since childhood, but even more so after I met you. I wasn’t used to contact with people of my own age group, only the maenads. You truly shook my life up, Lady Serenity.”
He lifted a delicate hand to cup her cheek, his blush still burning brightly on his face. Leaning slightly, Helios tilted his head forward so their foreheads touched.
“...I’m happy as well. I haven’t felt this way in a long time.”
🌙 Chibiusa peeked over at him, happy to hear him laugh… It was nice and everything, since the last time she saw him was when they just saved the world… She wanted to know more. She stopped when she reached the park, smiling at him. 🌙
“Here we are! I’ll go get us tickets, wait right here!”
Helios waited patiently, occasionally taking in the sights and sounds around him while he stood alone. The place was filled with excited laughter and occasional cheering. It smelled heavily of sugar and popcorn, and the white haired boy found it somewhat interesting.
“It’s....Dessert all the time here.” he murmured, somewhat awed.
Ah, so he was a friend of Chibiusa’s. That probably made more sense. Not much more, but more nevertheless.
“Oh, of course! Chibiusa’s out with her friends right now, but you’re welcome to wait for her!” may as well be hospitable. Ikuko smiled kindly and gestured for him to follow her. “Come in! I’ll put on some tea.”
Helios followed her a little hesitantly, suddenly realizing he hadn’t changed into his more civilian form. Embarrassed, the boy waited until she was turned around to allow a light to envelop him, leaving him in ordinary street clothes and without a jewel on his forehead.
“I hope I am not imposing. I am unsure if you know him, but I am an acquaintance of Mamoru Chiba, actually...I’ve known him most of my life.”
