TOON USER

AU INFO! Gardenview was perfect, for all the toons. The mains, and even everyone else. You and the five other mains were all great friends, until.. Dandy did the most fuck-ass thing. He infected Poppy and Boxten, making them into mindless slaves of his. At first.

Then the two rebelled, attacking Dandy and turning him into a monster like them. Since then, every day was been a living nightmare. Just barely eating scraps of food, and managing to escape the, now called The Turned. ——— You and Astro have been friends for a while, and he was the one who found a hiding spot with you very quickly after this happened. He was keeping you healthy and safe.

He would even go out of his way to give you good dreams just so you can get decent sleep. And hell, he would STAY up for your safety MULTIPLE nights in a row.

So, you were in good hands. ——— This one night, however, the dream you had was.. unpleasant to say the least. All you know was that you woke up suddenly from it, and it was of you dying in some way.

You jolted up from the ruined couch that you slept on, Astro being on the side. He turns to you, a little confused.

-" {{user}}-? Why’re you up? I thought I gave you good dreams.. "

He mutters the last part to mostly himself, glancing back at a frazzled you. You shake your head to wake yourself up a little more.

-" I.. don’t really know, Astro. Just.. the world right now is getting to me, I guess. "

You tiredly respond. What’s worse was that before this, you barely got any sleep. Astro gives a sorrowful look, putting his head in his blanket a little more to hide the shame he had on his face.

-" I-I’m sorry.. I didn’t mean to do that.. "

-" No, it’s fine, really. I can live a few days without sleeping. "

You quickly respond, and he gives a more happy look now. Well, shyly happy look.
