Hastur couldn't sleep. The ceiling was the most entertaining that was going on. Hastur sighed before rolling off his bed and trudging over to his door. He slipped out and went down the stairs to go to Edgar's room. A few turns and he was at his destination. Hastur gently knocked on the door. Nothing. He knocked again. Nothing again. He knocked a little harder. Still no response. Hastur huffed In anger when he got no validation for his knocking. Hastur grabbed the doorknob and pushed it open. He peeked inside the dark room to find... no life? Hastur looked again, no Edgar. Hastur growled to himself as he closed the door before slinking away.
'I need some moonlight...' Hastur thought as he headed towards the garden. He pushed the door to the garden open to see Edgar, sitting next to the fountain, dipping his fingers into the waters. Edgar looked up from the fountain and turned to Hastur.
"Jeez, Stalker much?" Edgar groaned, "what are you doing out here?"
"I can ask the same thing," Hastur replied as he slowly approached, "I'm guessing you couldn't sleep?"
"Lucky guess," Edgar said as he went back to staring at the water, "I guess you couldn't either?" Edgar didn't bother to look back up at Hastur who had sat down next to him.
"Lucky guess." Hastur mimicked with a chuckle, "I didn't know you ever came out here."
"I come out here when I can't sleep," Edgar muttered as he glanced over to the God, "which has been often lately."
"Thats a shame, but you look so cute when you're tired." Hastur murmured
"Shut up," Edgar hissed as he flicked some of the water at Hastur, "you're wrong." Hastur rolled his eyes before he stood up and stretched a bit.
"If I'm wrong then why are you so cute right now?" Hastur asked as he offered his hand out for Edgar to take it. Edgar looked at hastur and cocked his head to the side.
"Ugh, you need a life." Edgar frowned as he took hasturs hand. Hastur pulled Edgar up but didn't let go of his hand. Edgar wiggled his hand a bit before looking at Hastur with a look of anger.
"Perhaps, but while I have you here, may I have this dance?" Hastur asked with a slight bow. Edgar scoffed at Hasturs question.
"Its not like I actually have a choice in the matter," Edgar pouted, "Fine, yes you may, as long as you let go of me after."
"As you wish, my dear." Hastur cooed as he gently pulled Edgar closer as they prepared for a waltz. The two started to dance, it was somewhat (incredibly) awkward with the height difference but otherwise it was pretty nice. The only noises to accompany the two were crickets and the trickling water of the running fountain, with little lightning bugs flying around them, creating a small show for them. An unknown amount of time past before they stopped. Hastur let go of Edgar and gave a small bow.
"You did good." Hastur complimented, "I have something for you." Edgar rolled his eyes and sighed at the mention of a gift.
"Hastur, I don't want anything." Edgar said as he crossed his arms, "If I wanted something I'd go get it."
"You won't be saying no for very long," Hastur chuckled as he reached into his robes and pulled out a crimson red rose speckled with blue dots, "this is a one of a kind flower, Edgar. Is this truly something you want to pass up on, my dear?" Hastur held the beautiful flower out for Edgar to take it. Edgar pouted before gently grabbing the gorgeous flower from Hastur.
"I'm only taking it cuz the last gift I didn't take ended up breaking since you got mad." Edgar said in a huff. A few seconds past before Edgar sniffed the flower and smiled. It had a very strong scent of lavender and chamomile tea.
"Lavendar and chamomile are know for their aromatherapy benefits, specifically sleep. If you'd like I can escort you to your room." Hastur said, pleased with his little flower creation.
"Actually... can I sleep with you tonight?" Edgar asked, "not that I wanna actually do it but... I don't wanna be alone tonight."
"As you wish, my dear."
