An hour passes with Micah sitting by their bed , Warlock on it . They know it isn't sleeping as it should , but even then , the pair haven't exchanged each other a word since arriving to Micah's bedroom . Somehow , despite everything that happened , there is comfort in their shared silence instead of tension , as both of them could expect . It's almost terrifying how there can be still ease between them . Micah watches Warlock shifting , its tired gaze on the stars across the ceiling in projected lights . ❝ I'm sorry that I had left you , Micah , ❞ it whispers , its regret breaking the silence , bringing Micah's heart to ache deeply . They try to respond , forgive , but it stops them , its shaky hand raised . ❝ I'm sorry for all that I said ⅋ done that hurt you with your starmates , Astereus . ❞
Something stirs in Micah's body at it using their collective name . It is Micah's middle name , but they eventually wanted it to be also used to refer the whole Starwake System . Mixed deep emotions waver within them . Annoyance from Phobos , sympathy from Philos , nonchalance from Cryael , wariness from Phoebus . Micah holds its hand . ❝ I can't say this on the behalves of others , but please know I do forgive you entirely , Warlock , ❞ they whisper back . ❝ You did what you thought was best for us . ❞ Even though what its leaving from them hurt so much more than the severe bite or its Theoculus effects . ❝ You shouldn't have done those things to yourself , though . ❞ Micah doesn't specify . Both of them painfully know what they meant there .
Warlock clenches its teeth , gritting sounds fall before it sits up . Micah helps it rise , their hand on its back for support . It hisses , grimacing at the soreness rippling through it . Micah wonders if it travelled to Los Angeles by foot . They frown , taking its ankles to massage them , ignoring its perplexed expression . ❝ I deser ─ ❞ ❝ You deserve only benevolence , never pain , ❞ Micah firmly shoots , their chest heaving . The corners of their eyes begin to prickle . ❝ I'm willing to be most patient with you , I always have been , ❞ they remind it . ❝ I know you would never mean to hurt us , me . ❞ Warlock is always more than teeth ⅋ claws , this eternal hunger in it . They will do anything to prove the world that . ❝ Please , Lovelock , ❞ they softly plead .
Warlock stares ahead , processing their sincerity . Their gaze follows its own ⅋ see it's looking at the photo of Micah as a child , holding their parents' hands at the northern Los Angeles . There was snow , as much as there was love . ❝ I'll try to be kinder to myself , ❞ it mutters , ⅋ that is enough for Micah to hear before they embrace it . The pair remains in that position for long until Warlock slowly breaks the contact , staring at Micah's paralyzed side . ❝ How is it ? ❞ Warlock asks , quiet , almost afraid to hear the answer . Micah gently rubs their arm , remembering the strange development of their wound . ❝ It's still healing , but something happened that I think you're responsible for it . ❞ Micah removes their shirt to reveal the flowers bloomed out of their body's punctures .
A breath hitches at the back of Warlock's throat , its eyes widen . Slowly , it touches the plants , brows furrowed . ❝ I . . . I dreamt of you , ❞ Micah shares , ❝ I dreamt that I kept loving you before you kissed each puncture . ❞ Warlock tenses . ❝ I heard you , even when we were states away from each other , ❞ it mumbles more to itself , recalling their voices in the forest , the song from the sky stars ⅋ river ripples . ❝ I said that I'll return to you . ❞ Micah gasps , given a confirmation that their dream was connected to its experience . ❝ You said you will in the dream , ❞ they say , amazed , ❝ I woke up afterward , then I saw the flowers . ❞ Warlock stares in disbelief . ❝ We became each other's Soulstar . ❞
Micah blinks hard , unfamiliar with the term . Warlock lets go of a petal ⅋ stares at the soft blanket it still holds onto . ❝ It's a formed special connection between two Antigods . If their bond is strong enough , then they are able to detect each other's emotions ⅋ thoughts , even be able to share senses . Rarely , it does more than these . ❞ Micah wonders if their Love is another factor to the flower development . Likely . They understand the concept entirely , though , letting out a soft wow . When did this link built ? While they were separated from each other ? Micah isn't sure how to reply to the details , but seeing Warlock fidgeting with the soft blanket , they hold its hand tightly ⅋ kisses its cheek . ❝ I'm honored to be your Soulstar . ❞
Warlock doesn't reply to their words , only nuzzling their hair . Micah can accept that . ❝ You don't have to answer this if you don't want to , but . . . What are you , exactly ? ❞ they ask , recalling its prodigious canine form , blood shining on its sharp teeth with full moonlight above . ❝ You told me you were a sheep ⅋ wolf hybrid , but then what ? Did you got cursed into being a werewolf of some sort after you developed a human form ? ❞ Warlock heavily sighs , scratching its head . ❝ I don't remember , ❞ is its only answer . Micah stares at it , trying to understand its origin , but no longer dwell on the matter . They can't push it into opening itself regardless if it knows or not . Whatever it is , they will always love it .
Warlock analyzes the room , admiring the space theme . Micah knows what it will ask them . ❝ Did you find any evidences to your origin since our separation ? Did you ever get to find Ílios or Fengári ? ❞ The Sun ⅋ Moon themselves . They shake their head . ❝ No , but I do plan to ask my parents , ❞ they say , ❝ How I was like in the beginning . ❞ If their parents have any answers , maybe Micah can be able to connect them to what they already have with their features ⅋ abilities . Their endless love in the sky ⅋ sky , the cosmos . ❝ I hope you'll get your answers eventually , ❞ Warlock mutters , respecting their determination to discover the grand truths about themself . Micah kisses its head in gratitude . ❝ Will you be celebrating with us ? ❞
Its lips twitch at this inquiry , head tilting to the side , but doesn't hesitate to answer , ❝ I think I disturbed your family with my presence well enough already . ❞ Micah immediately shakes their head at its words , frowning . ❝ As I told you this before , my family always follow the value of not judging another despite what the circumstance may be . Believe me , they're more worried for you . ❞ Warlock huffs in doubt . Micah nods again , having complete faith in their family's good hearts . ❝ I won't force you to . No one will question you if you don't , but . . . ❞ Micah gestures at the door . ❝ My family can still be happy to have you here at least . My parents really were expecting you to come . ❞
Large amount of time is taken for Warlock to consider its choice . Micah patiently waits , playing with the lines on its calloused palm . Their head perks up at its defeated sigh . ❝ Sure . . . Did they at least make the food for me as I asked ? ❞ Micah giggles loudly at its whispered question , fondly amused . They leave their chair to climb over their bed , constantly kissing Warlock . They missed it so much . ❝ Of course ! ❞ they answer cheerfully , taking the space beside it , ❝ You're our special guest , so those food is aaallll for you . ❞ A sharp chuckle leaves Warlock , kissing them as many times more . ❝ I'll join later , then . Right now , I just want you , all for me . ❞ No longer feeling the tension their body have from their watching starmates , vanishing to the mental back , Micah squeaks at a light bite on their lower lip . They grin along with Warlock before they let their Soulstar love them whole in the end .

oh as a bonus, i feel like depressed toxic! suguru isn't the type of person who would actively seek to cheat on his partner, but if someone flirted with him, he wouldn't put a stop to it and let things escalate.
He would be the type of person who uses his depression as an excuse to hurt others and not take responsibility for his actions and when you decide to confront him he just gets defensive and plays the victim, like this:
-I didn't want this to happen! I'm tired of everything and you only make everything worse with your complaints and insecurities!
i don’t think he’d use his depression but i do think he’d use a lot of gaslighting/manipulation even if it’s unintentional like i genuinely think suguru is just sooooo delusional sometimes 😭😭😭 he ends up believing his own words as he speaks and convinces himself that he’s right (when deep down he knows he’s wrong) BUT ALSO i heavily agree that he’d be like “i didn’t mean for it to happen…” “i’m just so tired… it doesn’t help that you always cling to me and ask me what’s wrong all the time y’know?” -> said w sad face like omfg don’t make me punch you in your mouth rn 😹 him using reader being Genuinely Kind and twisting it into something ugly… whew i hate this man rn omg i love it
in this scenario i agree w you! i think he wouldn’t actively make the first move to cheat but he WOULD entertain someone else and things would escalate (and it would be delicious of him wallowing in guilt afterwards… maybe he’s in bed w the person and while they’re asleep he lights up a cigarette with a very shaky hand and is almost numb… i think he wishes that the bed would swallow him whole bc he can’t undo what he just did, and he just feels utterly disgusting all over his body…)
AND THIS IS ANOTHER REASON WHY I NEED MORE FIRECRACKER!READERS 🗣️🗣️🗣️ don’t let him speak to you like that @ reader!!!!! destroy his life and his self-confidence & make him regret ever being alive my queen <333 can you tell i love it when ppl get their comeuppance like omfg KARMA bitch!!!!!!
