Kyo sometimes wonder how the universe feel. Will it phase through him or will it cling until he suffocate? How does it taste? Is it really like raspberries? How beautiful is the sight of planets and stars?
And how does it feel to just float in space? free from all burden chaining you down while realizing how insignificant your whole existence is. Will it change him? Is the knowledge of such thing will break his mind and soul?
So he ask those questions to his boyfriends.
—————
"Do you ever miss space?" The question break through the comfortable silence between them, Aster stop playing with his hair and Ren looked up from writing lyrics. "What's with the sudden question, Kyo?" Aster fingers continue from the pause to ran through his hair and massage his scalp.
"I dont know, just curious I guess."
"Well for me personally I dont remember much, the space is beautiful and vast but I remember feeling... lonely... so no and yes? How about you Ren?"
The alien smile, "To be honest, yes I do miss it. You know going planet to planet-" "And destroying it?" Kyo interrupt Ren, he laugh seeing Ren's pout.
"I never done that again, and it's boring y'know? I rather spread my music all over the universe rather than just destroying them."
"Now why did our cyute Kyo ask such question huh?" Aster lean down to nuzzle Kyo's head that's in his lap, "Eww, get away Aster." Kyo pushed Aster head away but there's no strength behind it. Aster just chuckle and peppered the younger man face with kisses.
"Answer my question, Kyo." A firmer tone.
"Like I said, I'm curious. I never left this planet and you both here probably do it in your free time or something."
"You want to see it? We can show you."
"Yea...
what?"
Kyo sit up and blink at his two boyfriends with confusion, "Pause, what do you mean show me? Like you just gonna leap to space with me?" "Of course not, you cant breath up there dummy." Ren giggle at Kyo still confused face, "I can bring you there with my spaceship."
"YOUR WHAT? PAUSE PAUSE." Aster and Ren is now full on laughing at the sight of Kyo's flabbergasted expression, his eyes wide and no words can seem to come out from his open mouth. "My-" Ren gasp for air, "My spaceship." Ren barely manage to spit the words out with how much he's been laughing.
"Yes I know your spaceship but you have it here? Since when? STOP LAUGHING." Ren who stopped laughing, laugh louder seeing Kyo mad face. Aster still havent stopped, he barely making sound now he's between gasping and choking.
--
"Are you guys finish now?" The two laughing mess from before now kneeling on the floor with heads down, Kyo looking down at them while sitting in the bed. They finally stop laughing after the youngest step out of the room and threathen to stay in Luxiem dorm, Ren almost fell from the bed to catch Kyo before he actually do it.
"Now explain."
So Ren explain, about how he threathen the school to let him keep his spaceship and how it's been parking in their dorm building rooftop,
"Ren, what the fuck?"
"Look I didnt realize it's such a big deal."
"Yeah no shit, and you dont even bother to tell me any of this? Wow cant believe your trust in me is that little."
"Stop smiling Aster, the same for you too."
Aster snicker quickly got shutted down by Kyo. At least they both have the audacity to feel embarassed about it, "How the fuck do I still stay patience with you guys?" Kyo head already starting to hurt from all this nonsense.
"Because you love us?"
"Shut up."
"You dont?"
"You're lucky I actually make that mistake."
Kyo have to look away from the bright smiles, he can feel a warm blush climbing up his cheek and a small smile painting his mouth. "What are you waiting for? Bring me to that dumb spaceship already."
He almost got blinded by Ren's smile.
—————
"Holy fuck, this look so cool."
The spaceship in front of him is not the biggest thing ever but it still impressive. Those usual UFO he have seen in countless of movies doesnt even compare to the real thing in front of him, the floating ship with black and shiny body and clear windows somehow look so magical to him.
And of course, "Wow you really that self-absorbed that you attact your dumb horns into it also?" He would never miss a chance to pick on the tall alien. "Hey, this is how it's designed in my planet, it's not my choice." "Sure Risotto, sure."
Stepping in is even more amazing, the inside is spacious enough for the 3 of them and it filled with technology that Kyo already dont want to learn. But he cant deny that the hologram screens and bright buttons is very fascinating, glancing to the side he's sure Aster share the same sentiment, for the first time the celestial shut his mouth and just stare in awe.
Ren chuckle at the two astonish face, taking a seat he close the spaceship door which make the other two flinch from the sound, "C'mon dont be shy, I know you two want to look closer." He smirk seeing hesitancy from the two uncharacteristically silent boys behind him.
He lean back to his seat and just let the other two marvel at everything, "How the fuck do you learn how all of this work?" Kyo finally said. Ren shrug, "I dont know really, I just did. It's like learning how to drive on earth."
Aster look at him, "What are we waiting for? Let's get going." Taking the other seat beside Ren that he conjure seemingly from nothing. "Wait wait, hold up. Where the fuck is my seat?" "Here." Ren pulled Kyo and seat him in his lap, the blue haired boy let out an embarassing squeak.
"Risotto put me down right now." Kyo try to struggle but the hands caging him doesnt budge a single bit, he turn his face toward Aster and put his best pleading expression. A smirk break into the celestial face as he opened his hands, "Do you prefer sitting in my lap Kyo?"
Is this what people describe as stuck in paradise? Kyo feel torn, he doesnt want to look like he prefer Aster but at the same time he doesnt exactly trust Ren driving this ship while he's sitting in front of him. So he keep silent but the longer the silent stretch the redder his face get, his two boyfriends patiently waiting for his answer.
"I-" two sets of eyes instantly landed on him, he cough his embarrassment away, "I'll sit with Ren." The hands around him tighten as a smile stretch in the tall boy face, the celestial pout and mutter how unfair this situation is. "But if something happen I'll seat with Aster, I trust him better."
Now the situation reverse, Ren is pouting and whinning, while Aster smile stretched as he lean in and give Kyo a peck on the lips, "You're so cyute sweetheart." And does that make Kyo little cold heart do a lot of things.
"Shut up both of you." Grumble Kyo, the other two just giggled at the sight of flustered Kyo.
So he sit in Ren's lap, the alien prince immediently hug Kyo's waist and start the ship. They start to ascend slowly, lights surround them as they whole body got tug behind, in a second they leaved earth.
Darkness is all Kyo see before Ren drive the spaceship to the left, he greeted by planets he doesnt know, meteor moving around them, and stars from miles away shining bright.
Kyo sit in awe. His two boyfriends cant help but stretch a smile at the sight of their usual sassy boyfriend being silent appreciating the haunting beauty of space that they accustomed to, the shorter male gaze keep flicking from one thing to another, seemingly amazed by everything.
"So Kyo, how is it?"
Aster question broke Kyo's daze, he have to blink a couple time just to completely come back to his body.
"It's... it's amazing."
That's how they spend the rest of the day, or night. They go from planet to planet, sometimes even go down to a planet if the level of oxygen is save for Kyo, the shorter male refused at first but after the first one he's giddy to go down again, the clear happiness radiating from him is something the other two will never forget.
--
Just after they enter earth solar system, Kyo -who now in Aster hold-- ask to visit the moon first.
"It's safe, right?"
"Probably, I got my power from the moon, it will be make no sense if it's harm me."
"But-"
"Shut up you two, Ren bring us to the moon right now."
The alien begrudgingly steer the spaceship toward the moon, as they come closer Kyo can feel the power inside his body amplifying bit by bit. It's suffocating as much as it freeing, his hair even start to glow slightly.
The second the spaceship land, Kyo stand up to stand in front of the door.
"Open it."
"Kyo, there's no oxygen out there, it's not safe for you."
A glowing pair of eyes stare back at Aster, the warning died in his tongue instantly. Aster glance at Ren, unsure what they should do.
"Ren. Open it."
"Kyo let's talk abou-"
A surge of power flew between the two creature, the power click the button to open the door and before Ren can do anything Kyo is already descend toward the moon.
Aster ran out to snatch him back but Kyo is magically fine, he's even kneeling on the moon floor, tears falling down from his glowing eyes, whispers of thank you coming from his barely open lips. A light gray wisp surround him, comforting him, mimicking a hug that barely there.
The other two silently enter the ship again, leaving the moon and their child alone.
--
And Kyo finally understand how the universe feel. It feel loved as much as he loved it back.
and the universe said the light you seek is within you
and the universe said you are not alone
and the universe said you are not separate from every other thing
and the universe said I love you because you are love.
