Remember when astro saw all of their dreams... I'm imagining all the awkwardness and horrified look that's about to come his way when he sees reader in every single one of them
Time for that promised incorrect quote, since the tag feels a little dry lately
(was originally gonna make dream sequences for my OCs but it can wait)
(also c/c means chosen color)
I don't usually make music recommendations but it fits reader's dream vibes a little idk
WARNINGS: motm spoilers, implied yandere behavior, horror elements (emotional and body horror), author has a bias towards astro, probably OOC
________________________________________
Astro now has about 5 stars to be exact, one fading red, one blue, one green, one yellow that's slightly dark, and one (c/c)
Conflicted between the options, the yellow star seems to spark his curiosity a little, so why not see it first?
. . .
Bad idea.
Not after that thing's encounter, while he won't come back anytime soon, he does think about what he said..
Sinner: 'wandering is a terrible sin..'
He also remembers seeing a small, but recognizable figure from afar that's none other than you, a faint memory from afar before he dragged him out.
...
It does seem like he'll leave you last, he has other stars to look after
. . .
Done with the blue and green star, as they were more normal than whatever happened earlier, as he managed to give the two good dreams and memories
Yet still, there was a whiff of you around before disappearing out of nowhere, as you somehow always be part of their dreams as a background character..
One star left... the fading star.
. . .
It's funny how his first reaction to finding out he's a former celestial is being protective over you, but disturbing at the same time
For as long as he can remember from the last while, you were kinda blended in with the background, not wanting to have the spotlight of attention on you, never expecting to have this much impact on the four guys with you at that moment
... Oh well.
It's time.
As he holds the (c/c) star that resembles your subconsciousness, he eventually got in.
. . .
You were walking in a somewhat dark place, slowly walking as the "ground" below you isn't that solid, if anything it feels like mud mixed with ink, covering a part of your legs but doesn't reach your knees
It's cold, very cold, but you had to keep going regardless. Despite the injuries, despite the pain.
Where? You're.. not sure actually, but you hope there was an exit out of here
...
But the mud you were walking on slowly disappears and trees started to appear.
One tree, then three, then Eleven, then too many trees
You continue walking, getting deeper into the forest, until you stop
Finding yourself in a small secluded area that the trees surround around, with freshly cut grass, a few different sized rocks to put stuff or sit on, a few different shells lying around, and beautiful different flowers
Blue iris.. gladiolus flower.. dandelions.. tulips.. poppies.. and.. chrysanthemum? You think..?
A better question is how you managed to recognize every flower there, as you're not by any means a flower expert.
You found them pretty, making them into a flower crown or a bouquet to look after, despite how you felt this weird gut feeling in the back of your mind
But you ignored it, feeling more peaceful than any moment in the past week
You plucked out a dandelion. Seeing the pretty white bits fly away, making you feel more comfortable than ever, plucking out a gladiolus and putting it on your head as an accessory, having a poppy and a chrysanthemums on a shell and use it as a vase
Plucking a little more from the other flowers, feeling more and more at ease, from the blue iris to the tulip to the poppy, admiring the flowers on the place, maybe it's not that bad?
Admiring the chrysanthemums you have on your hands, you were about to pluck out another blue iris, but felt sudden pain on your fingers, backing away quickly as the blood rushed out, as you notice a thorn on you, growing progressively
Trying to pry it off you, no use as it grows quickly the more you wack it off, as you find even more growing thorns and plants on you, seeing an iris bloom on one of them.
"i love you."
You hear a whisper, the voice sounds familiar but distorted. More plants got larger and got out of your injuries, iris bloomed as a gladiolus flower popped out
"i love you."
An inky tendril suddenly merged out and wrapped around your core. Grabbing you towards the ground.
"i love you."
The shells are leaking ink, forming small inky scary creatures walking towards you.
"i love you."
You feel hands grabbing at you on top of the sharp thorns, suffocatingly beautiful flowers and the inky tendrils, but it is faint, only the arms are somewhat visible and are adding more pressure on you.
"i love you."
You tried your best, really, getting away from everything and having one moment of peace alone, only to be ruined.
Everything is pushing you to the ground, to drown you in ink, to suffocate you with the many thorns and flowers as they bloom on you, especially the thorn around your neck and the flowers blocking your view and breathing.
The hands didn't do any better, as they look very familiar, especially two pairs, you can't focus on them as they push you down further and further.

[NAME]:"letmegoletmegoletmegoletmegoletmegoLETMEGOLETMEGO-"
Suddenly...
There's nothing.
Nothing to force you to go down, as smoke cleared everything up, now leaving you back to point zero.
Except the ground was actually solid, making you relieved a little.
But you're still shaken up by what just happened, unable to calm down from the stress you just experienced...
...
..then you Heard it, not too far from you.
Astro: "...your dreams are really disturbing.."
Turning around fastly, you see the moon toon from earlier, also the same one who seems to hate Bendy's guts for whatever reason
[NAME]: "was... Was that all you..? Are you a celestial??"
He seemed surprised at the allegation thrown at him, but quickly resumes to resting sad face, such a fella you are
Astro: "...was, i still have control over the dream realm, as I'm here to make it better for you since you're here."
[NAME]: ".. i... See.."
As you sat down, the former celestial stood by your side, having a hand on your head and another on your shoulder, you do appreciate the small comfort he brought.
Astro: ".. do you feel like this around them?"
[NAME]: "what do you mean?"
Astro: "before i came and stopped the nightmare, does it feel like this around them? I've seen that at least one of them was with you the whole time you were here."
[NAME]: "... Very often, while I don't hate them, i wish they could leave me alone once in a while.."
He nods understandingly, after all you can see the remorse and pity on his face
Astro: "if so, if may i ask; what dream do you want to have?"
[NAME], pointing at themself: "..me?"
Astro nods in response. As you thought for a while, you came up with an idea for your wanted dream, not exactly having to verbally tell astro as he can hear your consciousness. He hopes you have a great sleep after the nightmare you just had.
. . .
Shelly: "what do you mean we can't enter??-"
Astro: "they're still asleep, they'll be with you eventually when they wake up"
Been like this for the past what? 30 to 45 minutes? While he's trying to pry the group off your back for at least after early morning. By logic they should be at the cafeteria, but instead they're crammed in front of your assigned room.
Cuphead: "c'mon! Can't you just wake them up or something?"
Boris: "you're still injured, either way we're gonna stay here for a while"
Bendy: "but- but can't i- we at least get inside and check on them? No?"
Mugman: "for once i agree with this guy.."
Astro: "my answer is solid, no."
As the currently disappointed group finally left, he took a peak to find you, just woken up by the commotion outside your door
[NAME]: "ughh.. what happened?"
Astro: "do not worry, i got them away for now."
[NAME]: "...thank you."
Astro: "no problem mx. [NAME], I'll leave you be at the moment."
Then he closed it, seemingly no one was there as he headed his way to his friends
As you stay in bed for a few more minutes, admiring the view from the window and cherishing these minutes of peaceful safe silence.
Away from everything stressing you out.
