[KEY: 🌘 = astro speaking , 🌼= dandy speaking.] Astro rocked back and forth, trying to get free of the constant aching and the ichor tormenting his body. his star and eye were red, irritated, and dripping that sweet black liquid. He didn't understand. Why? Why did Dandy do this? What made him do it? 🌼: "Oh Astro, my love, how are you holding up?” Dandy purred, his safety glasses perched atop his head, a white, ichor-stained lab coat adorning his body. 🌘: "Y-you have no right to call me that anymore.” Astro muttered, not daring to meet Dandy’s gaze. Dandy peered out from the glass separating them one more time, a smile plastered on his face. 🌼: "I think you’ve been eating enough ichor,” *Dandy began, placing the syringe full of it on a nearby counter. Astro’s eyes lit up, a flicker of hope bedazzling them. 🌼: "Instead, I’m removing your straight jacket." Astro looked up at Dandy, the ichor tears pricking his eyes, but the flower only smiled. Dandy approached and crouched down to Astro's level, undoing the buckles that locked him in. Once opened, Astro immediately stretched out his four arms, and Dandy's smile widened. 🌼: "Come, Astro.." Dandy said, grabbing his hand. "You'll need a change of clothes. 🌘: "ok.." Astro nodded weakly, following Dandy out the room. Was he free, or was Dandy simply lying to him for fun? [well my alpha you can decide muah]
