✨ Hey…. Luna…?
🌕 Yes Celestial? What is it?
He hesitated… swallowing his fear swiftly.
✨ Have you ever… had… mmmm…
Luna’s smile faltered, for she realizes a serious topic is about to rise above the surface.
✨ Have you ever had someone… who was always… there.. for you? 🌕 What do you mean?
Celestial bit his finger…
✨ Like…Like a parent almost… 🌕 Ah….
Luna shifted around in thought. She had sister and brother moons, but no memory of a figure who posed as a parent.
🌕 Mmmm… Not that I remember. I have my sisters and brothers but.. that’s all we had.. each other.
Luna motioned towards Celestial.
🌕 Why do you ask? Do you have a parent?
Celestial froze violently.
🌕 Oh dear! I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have asked that- ✨ No no- I’m…. I’m fine, I just-
…
✨ Ever since I first opened my eyes. A bright light was all I could see. Everywhere I went.. whenever something was wrong… She…would be there. Mother.
Celestial’s cute little dot eyes turned glassy, yet he continued.
✨ She was the kindest, most brilliant figure in my world. She took care of me, when no one else would…I couldn’t help but think of her as my… as my mom. But….
Celestial choked, tears threatening to run down his warm, fiery cheeks. Luna, concern welling up inside but unreadable on her face, placed her hand on his. He failed to notice as he went on.
✨ One day… I went to see her, in her chambers. But… But… and then she had to send me away… she was trying to pro-… protect me and I…
Celestial’s breath quickened as he further unveiled the nightmare.
✨ I… I couldn’t do anything. I….I DIDN’T KNOW HOW TO HELP HER, AND THEN EVERYTHING JUST-… AND NOW SHE’S.. SHE’S..
Celestial ripped his hand away from Luna’s, only to clutch himself tightly as the tear began to rapidly flow. He struggled to ground himself and began to float. Luna grabbed a hold of his foot before he could drift too far, and yanked him back to her.
🌕 Celestial! Celestial hey!!!!!
Her soft voice couldn’t be heard over his pained screams and wails.
🌕 HEY!!!!!! HEY….. its okay!!!! I’m here!!! It’s okay!!!
Luna strained her voice and was able to grasp Celestial’s attention, snapping him out of his frenzy. Luna breathed slowly, gesturing Celestial to follow suite. In…. and out……. In…. and out…….. The tears, that seemed to resembled stars, trailed down Celestial’s face at a slower pace, drifting away once they left the surface of his chin. Celestial fluttered his eyes, gazing into Luna’s beautifully painted face.
✨ h…h-huh..?
Luna’s hand came up to cuff Celestial’s cheek.
🌕 It’s okay…
