Chapter Text
Once he reached his room, he placed the phone in his pocket and reached for his keys. He twists the door and drops his chain, creating a loud thud noise.
On the bed was Astro, a singular star lifting the blanket away to reveal his black clothing that stuck to his skin. The shape of his collar bone was transparent to Dyle. His ears swung back and as if waiting eagerly for something. Another star hovered over him like it’s trying to invite him into the bed with him.
“A-A Astro?!?” Dyle stammered, his eyes trailing Astro’s entire body. His own body seemingly unable to move.
“Dyle,” Astro called out his name, “You had a long day at work. Let me help you out like yesterday?”
“Well,” Dyle rubbed the back of his head, “You already helped me a lot so I don’t think it’s fair to the other toons if you help me first. Besides, you already posted a video so I think I’m okay with just watching it.” Dyle really didn’t want to admit it, but he really enjoyed yesterday’s events. However, he didn’t want to trouble Astro.
“Oh…” Astro muttered, covering his body back up with his blanket, “If you insist.” Astro rolled over and was ready to just fall onto the floor, before Dyle scurried over to block Astro from falling off.
“If you don’t mind, I’ll gladly do it.” Dyle whispered, his whole face already heating up.
“Okay!” Astro chirped, with more energy than ever. Dyle rests his head on Astro’s lap like before. Astro looked down at Dyle and smiled, “Isn’t it better to have the real toon here right in front of you than some video?”
Dyle turned to the side, averting Astro’s eyes. Oh god he’s so pathetic in front of him.
