Chapter 1: Planetary cleanup
Chapter Text
Lunar remembered that evening clear as day, the way it started all the way to how it ended. How it felt to have Taurus looming over him as they made love on Taurus' lavish bed. Even now as Lunar looked back on the memory of that night, he could still recall the raw love and passion of that evening. Taurus could too, though for him it was in the back of his mind as he trained. Grinning at the faint memory; huffing and shaking his head at his own behaviour as he pushed a meteor out of a crater on the planet he and Lunar were currently on.
"Last night sure was nice..you were nice..- great even" Lunar said fondly as he floated beside Taurus, a small smile on his face as he spoke to Taurus about that night. The large bull man chuckling slightly and nodding in agreement upon hearing those words; pushing the meteor into a pit of acid before looking towards Lunar "so were you Lunar, you were absolutely divine if you ask me" Taurus said with a warm look in his eyes, the glow they had being a lot less intense in this moment.
Eventually the two finished cleaning up the planet they'd been on, it didn't take as long as both had thought. It was a small planet after all; even so Lunar and Taurus were understandably exhausted from this cleanup mission. Something that didn't go unnoticed by Libra during the debrief the two had to give her upon their return to the Astral Temple. "Hm, how odd..Taurus ypu look more fatigued than usual. Was this mission physically tiring?" Libra asked, looking and sounding slightly confused as she spoke. It was understandable for Lunar to be this exhausted after a mission, not Taurus though.
"Mhm, that and I didn't get a lot of sleep last night. Thankfully Lunar was there to aid me in the cleanup mission" Taurus said with an affirmative nod, Lunar nodding along tiredly as his partner explained this to Libra. The afromentioned astral seeming to understand the situation pretty well, a small smile on her face as she listened to Taurus' explanation. "Hm. I'm well aware that you both were restless Taurus, you seemed to find a way to tire yourselves out together though" she responded, chuckling slightly as she finished speaking. Leaving both Lunar and Taurus silent and embarrassed as they left the conference room; the pair heading to their shared room to get a bit more rest.
Lunar sighed softly as he flopped onto his bed, having changed into his jester-like clothes which had been swapped from his casual wear to being his pyjamas. As they didn't do well as an outfit suitable for his missions as a destroyer alongside Taurus and Leo. Taurus simply putting a pair of silk pants on to sleep in, looking over at Lunar from his own bed with a tired smile on his face. "Hmm...sleep well Lunar" Taurus said softly, watching as Lunar started to drift off. "You too Taurus.." he said sleepily as he snuggled into his cushions, eventually falling asleep with Taurus doing the same a few minutes after Lunar had fallen into a peaceful slumber.

Chapter Text
It had been a few weeks since the mission Lunar and Taurus had went on together and Lunar wasn't feeling too good; having thrown up at least 3 times that morning alone "you alright Lunar? Is this some form of "tummy bug" as you worded it last time?" Taurus asked quietly as he watched Lunar puke into the sink once more, turning the tap on to rinse away the vomit. Lunar simply groaned in response and looked at Taurus with an exhausted look on his face "I think so..I'll ask Virgo to have a check later..- for now, let's just go see what Leo needed to talk to us about..-" he said with a slight huff. The two astrals walking out of the bathroom and down the halls together, heading towards the training grounds where Leo currently was.
Leo stopped his training to look at his fellow astrals, a stoic yet cocky look on his face "took you long enough, you been making out or something?" The lion teased, grinning as he spoke. His teasing only earning head shakes from both Lunar and Taurus. The latter being the one to respond. "No. Lunar threw up a lot, I just stayed by his side in case he was seriously unwell" Taurus said bluntly to Leo, patting Lunar's shoulder as he finished speaking. Lunar let out a small sigh and rolled his eyes "What you need to discuss Leo?" He asked in a slightly impatient manner, too exhausted to try being polite and patient with the flame powered astral. Leo didn't seem phased by this though, instead chuckling and shaking his head "calm down Cattle Transport, just wanted to ask if you both wanted to train with me" he said with a scoff; his nickname for Lunar taking the other two by surprise.
Lunar blinked before shaking his head in confusion, looking between Leo and Taurus before speaking up "wait- wait, why did you call me that-?" he asked, facing Leo as he spoke of the nickname Leo gave him just then. Taurus also seeming rather curious too "simple. I can tell you're pregnant Lunar, I currently hear multiple hearts within your body" the lion said casually as he shrugged. Once again surprising the pair with his words. Lunar especially being surprised, as he didn't know he even could get pregnant. Nor did Taurus, who had fallen silent out of sheer shock.
The two of them looked at each other and then back towards Leo in silent confusion; Lunar's eyes wide with worry and surprise whereas Taurus' were squinting from his own confusion. Trying to figure out how it was even possible for him to knock Lunar up; as it should have been impossible to even do. After a while Lunar spoke up "you're not joking-? Right?" He asked, silently hoping Leo was just joking around to get a reaction from them both. Taurus also hoping that this was the case; it wasn't like that unfortunately. "Nope! You can even ask Virgo if you both don't believe me-" Leo said with a shrug before punching a rock in half and watching the pair leave to find Virgo. Shaking his head in amusement before returning to his training, chuckling slightly from the hilarity of the whole situation.
Taurus and Lunar had in fact gone to Virgo to get confirmation on the pregnancy, the results surprising all 3 of them. The two dads-to-be not knowing how to properly react. "How will we tell the others..?" Lunar asked quietly as he looked at Taurus; who simply shrugged in response "no clue, however I do know it's not going to be easy no matter how we do it-" Taurus responded, a small hint of worry in his voice as he said this. Despite that however, Lunar did seem comforted by those words and nodded in agreement "yeah..and we'll be together when we do tell everyone.." Lunar said with a small smile, he and Taurus leaving the medical wing together afterwards. Both of them worried and prepared for when that inevitable will come.
Notes:
This feels a bit rushed, started getting sleepy midway through writing. Hope it was still good though
