Astro couldn't believe he let himself become so attatched to you. The one toon who he didn't like with a passion. You! How could he be so careless..?
After you were made from the ichor and given a role in GardenView, you began hanging out with others. To be frank, Astro didn't like you. You were too.. noisy and obnoxious, uncaring about your surroundings, and unable to read the room. Astro is known to love his peace and quiet, but you.. You keep ruining things.
Subconciously, Astro started to give you nightmares due to his hatred for you. Horrible nightmares that kept you tossing and turning all night. He wasn't aware of his actions before his toon handler Austin Russo had to confront him about his actions. He had gotten word from Deven that you were having contant nightmares that made you sleepy and unable to do your duties for the kids.
Astro felt.. bad. He hated you, yes. But his powers weren't supposed to make others have restless nights, they were supposed to support them in their rest! Sleep was a precious thing to him. So relunctantly, he started inviting you to book club or other activites with him as an apology.
He didn't really enjoy this. But he wanted to set things right for you. He wasn't a malicious toon. Or, he never considered himself as one..
During your time together, you were still a bit obnoxious and loud, but Astro saw a side of you that he usually didn't see. You were actually calm when you're really focused on things, especially things you liked. Whenever you were in bookclub with him and everyone else, you were actually quiet and peaceful.
Even when Astro decided to teach you about Astrology, you were calm during it too. Infact, you were intrigued in his special interest, taking genuine interest in his words. Slowly but surely, Astro's hate began to turn into tolerence, then to seeing you as a companion.
Then to obsession.
Astro noticed his obsession with you when he was always obsevent in what you were doing. How you acted, what you liked, what you disliked, and who you hang out with. He couldn't even believe it himself. He became obsessed with the one toon he swore he hated. He even started offering his affeciton! Something reserved to toons he's only close with!
It all felt.. addicting. He loved everything about you now. Your obnoxiousness, something he despised, was now only a small pet peeve he'd just tell you off on. Your careless behavior was often scolded upon instead of being scorned on. And when you hung out with others.. he felt replaced. He didn't like that. Not one bit
You're someone he cherishes now, and he won't let you replace him. Not after everything. He was yours.
But he shouldn't dwel on that right now. He should focus on this moment. You were both sitting in his room on a beanbag chair, his blanket draped on the both of you as you sat between his legs, his bottom set of arms wrapped around your torso while the top closed off the blanket. You were reading a book on Astrology, with his telekenisis held up the book.
"Apparently, Comets can have tails that lead the way.. Says it right here, see?" Astro used one of his stars to point at the words that were etched on the book.
