----:: haestus

┕ ♪ haestus had been hesitant when he saw the instant message from krato’s lover. he needed to read it a couple of times to completely consider his choice thoroughly. his name is kwon eunsoo, the violinist and musical theater composer. he’s around your age. really passionate about the arts. pretty down to earth. not crazy. i’d never have you date someone crazy. he knew about the man, his pieces being well known in the orchestral community. it wasn’t the male that made him reluctant to accept the invitation. the problem was DATING. it was something that was unfamiliar to him, not having long practice with love, not to mention dealing with his feelings towards another human. he could blame it on the way that he was constantly covered underneath his work that required more most of the time in his day, yet he truly points the finger at himself. haestus had been a music producer for quite a while to realize that his calendar was arranged without anyone else’s input, accordingly it was his own particular choice to reject the invitations to dates and push away anything that wasn’t a welcome to a one night stand. it left him with the flaw of not recognizing what to do or say in romantic situations. this specific invite from yutae, he didn’t know why he acknowledged. it could be the dejection that kept him stray from everything, or it could be the mass texts he gets in the shared chatroom with kratos and yutae that influences him to feel so. in any case, he winds up tolerating and ends up sitting close to eunsoo no later than a couple of days.

it was a great day, he concludes, learning and listening to somebody who is similarly as enthusiastic about music as much as he may be. haestus knew an excessive number of people that had just been in the music industry for the money. here he had somebody who had the same passion to actually ignite a small flame of interest in haestus’ heart. in addition to the fact that he was similarly as passionate, his music was appealing to him. connecting the offered earbuds to his ears, haestus stays there next to eunsoo with a comforting grin. once the music starts, he gazes toward the starlit sky to go with the music streaming out from the buds. it doesn’t take thirty seconds before the hair on his arms start to stand once the strings pull in with the tune. it was fitting for the glimmering stars in the night sky, enabling him to get the full impact of the music. there weren’t any lyrics to accompany the rhythm yet it had touched him like a million kisses, moved by the speechless music. when it had finished, haestus had removed the headphones previously. “it’s beautiful.” he compliments first, looking at eunsoo with a smile. “but… why the first and only?” he inquiries next with the tilt of his head. “it’s such a delightful piece. i’m astonished you have not shared it to anybody.” the male nods now, thinking move down to watch the stars sparkle over their heads. “I have created a various measure of melodies… and listened to a ton, however none have moved me as much as your music has… your aptitudes are impeccable.”

this was his first date. ever. because haestus was his first love. his only love. but even eunsoo knew not to say such things on a first date. it would only be a sure way of scaring someone off. if he was asked why he loved the man, eunsoo would come off as a stalker. but he wasn’t a stalker. he was just a star who watched over him for years, then finally fell for him-- quite literally. eunsoo couldn’t stop looking at haestus tonight. he couldn’t believe he was so close to this beautiful young man. every atom of eunsoo ached to be closer. maybe even touch? he wanted to reach out and trace his fingers down the side of haestus’ face. or feel the man’s soft hair. or-- or-- oh, stars-- maybe even hold his hand? the more eunsoo thought about these things, the warmer his face grew. he remembered sharing these dark desires with sejin once. the elder star seemed...amused? endeared? “out of all the stars that fell, you’re possibly the purest, eunsoo,” sejin told him that day. “be careful. protect your heart and your light.” eunsoo smiled warmly as he replied, “i will! but i’ll also share it too. i want to give love.” 

and out of any human in this universe, eunsoo wanted to give love to haestus the most. if only haestus would let him. eunsoo watched haestus with growing nervousness as the man listened to the track. what if it was terrible? what if it was boring? but at haestus’ response, eunsoo felt his chest tighten in sharp joy. he hid his face with a hand. not only because he was blushing fiercely. but because eunsoo knew that if he didn’t keep his happiness in check, then he’d make the stars above the sky shine unnaturally brighter, or shimmering stardust would trail from his fingertips, or his eyes would reveal iridescent hues of shifting galaxies. eunsoo’s seen it happen several times with sejin when it was only the stars in private, and sejin spoke of how much he adored apollo. it was beautiful seeing a star in love...until they faded. but when eunsoo lowered his hand and saw the way haestus smiled at him, the star knew that this man was worth it. “t-thank you,” he answered, still flustered. “you’re the first and only to hear it, because...” his voice trailed off. he couldn’t give the truth. not right now. “--because it’s a secret.” with a shy laugh, eunsoo drew back. “i’m really-- ah-- happy that you enjoyed it. thank you, haestus.” eunsoo took the headphones from haestus, but he didn’t let go of the man’s hand. what rare courage eunsoo was discovering inside of him tonight. he kept hold of haestus’ hand as he closed the space between them. their lips met in a soft, pure kiss-- 

--and the stars above them shone brighter.

“--you called out to me from across the universe.” those words could easily be taken as just admiration with a poetic flair. but for eunsoo, it was quite literal. he heard haestus’ music beyond all the light years between them. it was impossible for the star not to draw a little closer. “oh-- so, this is music,” was what he first thought that night. eunsoo began watching over haestus’ from then on. all because he wanted to hear a little more of that lovely music. with sejin and jaehwa already gone by then, eunsoo was lonely. other than those two stars, the rest weren’t fond of eunsoo. he had always been a little too curious and sympathetic towards humans. more than once, eunsoo lit up the night sky for humans, so they could feel less lonely or afraid. sometimes he’d even draw constellations in secret for humans-- unique starlit speckled illustrations that spoke to their hearts. the one human eunsoo used his stardust most for was haestus. so when eunsoo finally fell-- he wasn’t terrified. he was excited. he would finally get to meet this beautiful soul. 

but sejin stopped eunsoo before he did anything impulsive. sejin laid down the do’s and don’ts about being a guardian to a human. he was firm, yet kind. whereas jaehwa simply said: “don’t fucking fall in love with a human. you’ll become less than a black hole. you’ll become nothing.” for a while, eunsoo listened to the elder stars. but he never stopped watching over haestus. it warmed his heart to know haestus was amongst good friends. eunsoo just never thought yutae was connected to them. when yutae suddenly said eunsoo should go on a date with haestus, he said yes. because...eunsoo just wanted to be near him. maybe even see him smile.

“can i share something with you? this is my first piece. from years ago.” a song he made for haestus. “you’d be the first and only to listen to it.” eunsoo drew out his phone, then hooked earphones to it. he offered the earphones to haestus before hitting play. some of the stars in the sky above him blinked erratically to reflect how nervous he was. but then he felt warmth from above. eunsoo looked up to see a few steadily shining stars. it must be sejin...maybe even jaehwa. sending their best wishes. when eunsoo looked down and gazed at haestus, he knew he was going to fade. that was okay. he held no regrets. it was an honor to fall from the skies for him.

“you just need another drink,” he said while refilling aeolus’ shot glass. “helps with matters of the heart,” the man added with a sage nod before breaking out into a grin. “life’s too short, aeolus. for a soul like yours-- love will find you. trust me.” he busied himself with refilling his own glass, then downing it in one go. it kept him from giving away anything from his end about his own heartache. jaehwa was probably the worst fallen star in existence. he fell to this planet to protect and take care of aeolus. except here he was guiding aeolus through his own methods of dealing with troubling emotions. salt added to the wound was how jaehwa already felt himself feeling for aeolus. but he wouldn’t. he refused. it wasn’t as if jaehwa was all that thrilled about being on earth. but he wasn’t going to fade away like sejin was inevitably going to. he didn’t want to think about sejin’s end. why the fuck did he have to do something so fucking stupid and fall for a human? not to mention one who was most likely never going to love him back? jaehwa wasn’t going to go there. anyways-- what aeolus needed right now was a friend. not another walking mess confessing his feelings for the man. “what kind of love do you want?” he asked, curious. “if you could have any kind of love in the universe.”

this wasn’t all that different from the years he spent amongst galaxies-- watching apollo from afar. sejin was one of the more ancient stars, so he was set in his ways about how stars should interact with humans-- especially the wishing humans that stars fell for. sejin was only here to protect apollo. he didn’t want to interfere with the young man’s life. and yet...apollo was like no other soul sejin met-- human or star. there was such light radiating from him. in a world that had gone cold and dark over the centuries, sejin was drawn to apollo like a moth to a flame. he broke one of his own rules by becoming something of an acquaintance to apollo. in some respects, they were both in the same field: performing artists. that’s where it should’ve ended. but one thing led to another, and then oh-- sejin was in love. 

eunsoo was terrified for him. if a star fell in love with a human, and the love wasn’t reciprocated within a period of time...then that star would die. even today when sejin woke up, he saw the sunlight rays shining through his semi-transparent hand before it solidified again. the man was already beginning to fade. only the human that wished upon him -- apollo -- and other fallen stars would be able to see him fading. eunsoo broke down into tears the other day when he saw right through sejin’s shoulder for a few seconds. sejin just held the other star, reassuring him that everything was going to be alright. sejin had already accepted that it would only be a matter of time before he disappeared all together. he wouldn’t share this with apollo. the young man deserved someone better than him. anyways-- sejin knew that apollo wasn’t romantically interested. they’ve been physically intimate, but given apollo’s fame, there was resistance of anything remotely close to love. sejin’s time here was limited, so he would make sure not to waste any of it. he fell from the sky to find apollo, to protect him, and to make him happy. “you were brilliant tonight,” he murmured before leaning in to kiss him again. of all places, they were in apollo’s dressing room after a show. it was risky, but they made sure the door was locked. “i’m so proud of you.”
