Long requested and finally had time to do that but here we are
It's been a year since our first ever collaboration wih @shygirl4991 had started with The chains of fragile soul, and what had started our friendship too
It's been fun working on this and i love drawing my beloved Aster (im still the number 1 fan dhdhdhd)
So as an honor of that, I redrew the coverart!
Heres the old and the new next to each other for comparison:
How would Aster and Sophie interact with each other?
Hmmm if there'd be a universe where they both exist and aster34 is real then id say They'd be a cool dad who spoils the heck out of her. They make sure they get away with everything if its about small silly troubles. And probably theyd undestand her better given they both are not what it seems
Aster belongs to @shygirl4991 (and tagging @b-r-i-n-g-x because they are the #1 Aster Fan and made their ref sheet)
It was a regular day at the Showgrounds, or regular enough for the SMG4 crew that was. It was actually rather boring to say the least.
Two people sat on the couch within the castle. One was an enby with blonde hair and purple eyes who wore an orange plaid flannel with a black t-shirt underneath, a nonbinary pin, and jeans. Their nails, which were currently being run through raven black hair, were painted a dark black. The other was a man with black hair and blue eyes and wore a blue turtleneck sweater and white overalls.
SMG4 was currently lying with his head in Aster's lap as they ran their fingers through his hair. Both were scrolling through their phones aimlessly, sharing different things they found that they thought the other would like.
Really they were both just biding their time until their boyfriend, SMG3, was finished with work. Because it was a very boring day so far.
Aster sighed, setting down their phone and looking at one of their two boyfriends before getting an idea. An evil smirk appeared on their face as they tapped 4's forehead.
"Hey 4," they said, "wanna do something fun?"
"Hm?" 4 asked, barely looking up at them from his phone. "Yeah. Sure. Whatcha got in mind?"
"Well," Aster laughed, leaning an arm on the couch and leaning their hand against their fist, "since we both seem to be bored and SMG3 is currently at work, why don't we play a little game~"
4 put down his phone, giving his partner a confused glance. "What's the game?"
"We go over to 3's cafe, and whoever can make him the most flustered, wins."
"What's the prize?"
"Making 3 extremely flustered."
4 laughed. "Sure. Be ready to lose though," he said, sitting up and stretching.
"I was going to say the same thing to you, Dear," Aster said, grabbing 4's chin and planting a kiss on his cheek before standing up and heading towards the door.
SMG4 huffed as he stood, face going red. "Dammit," he mumbled to himself as he followed them out, "they're gonna win aren't they?"
Meanwhile, inside 3's Coffee N Bombs, SMG3 stood at the counter, taking orders from customers as Eggdog bounced around the cafe entertaining people.
The bell above the door rang, earning 3's attention. His red eyes looked up before seeing two very familiar faces.
Aster waved at the man, SMG4 standing beside them with a large smile on his face.
Clearly they were up to something...
The two walked up to the counter as the most recent customer grabbed their coffee and took a seat.
"Hey Darling~" Aster said, leaning an arm against the counter and giving 3 a flirtatious wink.
"What do you two want?" 3 asked, getting the feeling that his two lovers didn't have any good intentions related to their visit.
"We can't stop by and pay you a visit?" 4 asked, pouting at the man in purple.
"Oh, you two are definitely up to something," 3 said, looking between the two. "Spit it out. What do you want?"
Aster gave a fake scoff, turning away but keeping their purple eyes locked on SMG3. "How rude. We can't come and see our boyfriend while he's at work?"
Oh, they were definitely up to something.
"Or come over for coffee either?" 4 added.
"Exactly!" Aster shouted. "Our intentions are pure, I promise, Darling."
“Somehow, I doubt it,” 3 mumbled under his breath. “Do you want coffee or are you both just here to bother me?”
“Both,” 4 admitted with a shrug.
3 glared at the two. “… so…?”
“My usual, please,” 4 said before giving Aster a side eye. He then reached over the counter, grabbing 3’s hand as he jotted down the order. “But can I take you to go?” He asked with a wink.
3’s face went red as he stared at his fellow meme guardian. “I… um…”
Aster smirked at 4, but quickly turned their attention back to 3. “Darling, are you feeling ok? Your face is all red~” They reached out and gently touched 3’s cheek. “And you’re burning up!”
“OK!” 3 shouted, quickly pulling away from both of them, mind swirling in pansexual panic. “One Cyanide Supreme Latte. Aster, you getting any coffee or a bomb or… something?” He didn’t dare make eye contact with the two.
4 and Aster smirked at one another. It was far too easy to get under 3’s skin.
“Well, I guess I can have one of those too,” the enby said with a shrug. “But one question remains. What’s the price?”
“Huh?” 3 asked, cautiously looking towards them.
“How much do I owe such a beautiful creature like yourself?” They asked, placing their chin on the back of their hand. “I mean, I already know you’re priceless. But how much for the coffee?”
“Oh. Uh… well…” 3 attempted to come up with a coherent sentence, red eyes darting back to the notepad in his hands he was using to take orders on.
4 glared at Aster. There was no way he was going to let them win this. He had to pull out the big guns if he was going to stand a chance against them.
3 went about making the coffee, keeping a wary eye on the other two with a face redder than Mario’s hat.
“I’m winning~” Aster laughed quietly, smiling at 4.
“Stupid… high rizz…” 4 mumbled, crossing his arms as he attempted to come up with a plan to outdo them.
They laughed, placing both hands on his shoulders as they leaned into 4’s ear. “Well, how else did I pull two handsome meme guardians~?” They whispered.
A shiver went down 4’s spine as he glared at Aster, cheeks becoming a faint red. “Asshole.”
“You love me~”
“Sadly…”
3 rolled his eyes as he watched the two before placing their coffee on the counter. “There. On the house. Now go away.”
“Aww, Darling, trying to get rid of us so soon?” Aster asked with a playful pout.
“Yes.”
“Damn. Tell us how you really feel,” 4 laughed, grabbing his coffee and leaning against the counter. “But seriously though, what’s wrong with wanting to hang out with our handsome boyfriend?”
“When you two start nonstop flirting with me?” 3 asked, looking between them. “It’s fine whenever we’re alone or with friends, but seriously? I am working here.”
“Exactly,” Aster said, leaning over the counter and kissing 3’s cheek. “That’s the fun part.”
3 huffed, crossing his arms and looking away, earning giggles from his partners. “Bakas… both of you…”
“Aww, SMG3,” 4 cooed, walking behind the counter and putting an arm around 3’s waist. “You’d be bored without us.”
“My life would be so much more peaceful,” 3 laughed, avoiding the blue and purple eyes looking him over.
“Oh, Darling,” Aster said, looking behind them to see no one paying any mind to their antics. They walked behind the counter with the other two, lifting 3’s chin. “You know we love you.”
If 3’s face could have gotten any redder, it would have.
Whatever braincells were left within 3’s brain finally kicked into gear. “Ok,” he said, pushing the two away from him, “I love you too, but…” He pointed towards the door. “I have a business to run. So… out.”
“But Darling, we’re bored,” Aster whined, grabbing 3’s hand and placing a kiss on his knuckles. “Just a few more minutes?”
“We won’t bother you too much,” 4 agreed, wrapping his arms tightly around 3 and placing his chin on his shoulder, pouting up at him.
Aster joined in, placing their head on his other shoulder and pouted, continuing to hold his hand as they wrapped their free arm around his waist as well.
SMG3 shook his head. “Nope. Out.”
“But-” the two tried to protest before 3 pushed them out of the cafe.
“Out!” He shouted before slamming the door shut behind them.
Aster crossed his arms. “Rude.”
4 sighed. “Dammit… who even won that?”
“Me, obviously,” Aster laughed.
“Damn. I don’t even get a chance in that one?” 4 asked, crossing his arms.
“Nope. Sorry, Dear, but I’ve just got more rizz than you.”
“You saying I can’t rizz you up?” 4 joked, standing up and holding out a hand to help the other.
“Oh, I never said that,” they said, smiling up at him as they took his hand.
It’s shorter than what I usually write, but hope people liked this short oneshot! Go check out The Chains of a Fragile Soul on WattPad and AO3! Highly recommend it!
Been having a bit of a rough day today so I drew my new comfort ship.
Was also debating about writing a oneshot of 4 and Aster flirting with 3 while he’s working at the cafe and they’re kinda having a friendly competition to see who can fluster 3 more, but idk (but only if you’re ok with it Shay ^-^)
But yeah, SMG4 is very amused by his partners’ attitudes.
They’re my new comfort ship. I love these three sm.
And if there are any people out there hating on this ship, cry harder ig /silly
