“Aster!”
No response.
“Asteeerrrr!”
Still, no response.
“Asteeeeeerrrrrrr!”
“OH MY GOD, what????” Aster relented, turning in his gaming chair to face his sister who was sitting on his bed. “C’monnnn, talk to me! You’re always streaming, so we never have time to be together anymore!” Astra whined. “Astra, I’m really busy, I seriously can’t right n-“
“I’ll tell Ren about your secret thennn!”
“You wouldn’t.”
“Wanna bet?”

Before he knew it, Aster was sitting on his bed with his sister, contemplating his life choices while she giggled with a sinister look in her eyes. “Sooo Asterrr, how’s your day been?” Astra asked. “Other than you threatening me? Pretty good.” Aster replied. “Good, good! I just got some green apples, wanna share with me?” “Green apples?! Say no more!” Aster then got up and ran to the kitchen, with his sister right behind. There they saw the most beautiful display on Earth, a fruit bowl full to the brim with glossy, green apples. “Oh my gosh, Astra! You even got the good brand! You’re so amazing!” Aster hugged Astra tight, then ran and started to eat an apple. “mm mh MMMH” he hummed in delight. “Hey, toss me one” Astra asked as she walked over and leaned on the kitchen counter. Aster threw an apple to her, while still eating his.
“So, how’s it been since you’ve joined Niji?” Astra questioned. “Itz beun weally gwood!” “Eww, I know you like the apples, but don’t talk with your mouth full, silly.” Astra half-jokingly cringed at his speech. Aster chewed his food, swallowed, took a deep breath in and said “Ah, sorry! What I said was: ‘it’s been good’. I’ve met so many nice people because of my new job! And I get to get payed for playing League! How awesome is that?!” Aster exclaims. “Oh yeah, that’s so cool! I’ve streamed a few times, and my favorite part is the fans! I just looove how down bad my pets are!”Astra takes a big bite of her apple. “They.. aren’t your pets. They have a name, y’know.” Aster said, sounding very disappointed, but not surprised. “Right, right, the asterbaters, yeah.” Astra said with a smirk. “THEY ARE NOT ASTERBATERS! They are wholesome and seiso!” Aster explained not-so-calmly. “Oh sure, they’re sooo seiso. Please Aster, you should hear the things they say to me. ‘You can do whatever you want to me my queen!,’ ‘will you marry me, I’ll do anything!,’ ‘oh pleaseee Astra, please step on me and call me a-“ “OKAY! Okay! I get it; that’s enough.” Aster says, not being able to handle what she would of said next. Astra only giggles, almost sadistically. “But yeah, I love Nijisanji! Will you ever join?” Aster asks, trying to change the topic. Astra sees through what he’s doing, but lets it go for his sake. “Hm, I’d have to think about it. But right now, my answer would probably be no. I think it’s fun, but I wouldn’t want to make it my only source of income. Plus, it’s fun surprising my pets-” “Arcadians.” “my *Arcadians* whenever I just pop on stream.” “I mean, you’re practically already a liver, do you know how much art work I see of you everyday? It’s insane! And let’s just say that some of it isn’t E for everyone..” Aster says looking away and blushing lightly. “Whaaat? Don’t act like I’m the only one unseiso! You literally did a stream where you wore thigh-highs and squished the asterbaters-“ “Ar. Ca. Di. Ans.” “With your thighs! You call that seiso?” Astra asked, ignoring Aster’s comment. “That is perfectly seiso, mind you! I was only helping soothe the arcadians with some ASMR! Your AMSRs are way worse than mine!” Aster defended. “Worse? My pets-“ “ARCADIANS.” “Yeah, yeah, sure. They love whenever I do ASMR.” “Yeah, ‘cause it’s just you saying ‘oh, chat, you’re so disgusting and gross and down bad! But, I secretly love that chat!’”
“Yeah? What about it?
“I.. you’re something else Astra.”
“Yes I am, but so are you!”
“Ah, fine, fine; you got me there.”
Aster and Astra stay quiet for a bit, just eating their more than half gone apples. “Y’know, you’re insane, and crazy, and really sus sometimes” “uh huh..” Astra said, not really knowing where this was headed. “But, I’m glad that out of all the stars you were the one who materialized with me. I wouldn’t want anyone other than you to be my sibling.” Aster said, seemingly out of the blue. “Aww, Aster, I love you too!” Astra runs up and give Aster a big, tight hug. Aster, after a moment of surprise, hugs her back. They stay like that, seemingly forever, with nothing being able to- EHK EHK EHK EHK EHK goes Aster’s alarm on his phone. Aster lets go of Astra and reads the alarm “Ah, sorry Astra, let me just read this. ‘Time to start stream…’”. Astra’s eyes light up. “‘Stream’ you say?” “Yeah, I have a zatsudan with the Arcadians. Let’s give this a rain check and-“ “NOT IF I GET THERE FIRST!” Astra starts to run to Aster’s room, apple still in hand. “HEY! IT’S MY STREAM!” Aster yells and runs after her.
And that is how both Astra and Aster ended up streaming together, all while eating green apples.
