It’s been many years since they went apart, Follower seems lonely at middle of black sky, as he was stuck on space, he sacrificed his identity for immortality, just to see his close friend again, but he doesn’t know who he is, since his memory got resetted.
eventually, he look around planets from afar, different sizes and colors, but none of them are safe to live, but since he’s immortal, he could just live there right?
well, there one thing he despised most, lonliness, he’s been alone for years, he want to find someone again, but despite everything he knows were forgotten, he still remember his close friend, he died long ago, but there some rumor about shooting star made by an celestial inphernal, Follower needs to know who is that “inphernal” everyone talking about.
no time to waste, he flies to different stars and suns, no luck, they’re not even giving any single hint of a trace, he even ask different civilians from every planets, most of them never heard it, some straight up attack him, even if they trap him, he escape in ease, despite everything, he still got no clue where is that inphernal went.
In moment of silent, he starts to cry, he’s lost, no one is trying to help him, he needed someone, someone he cared most before their disappearance, as he continue to cry, he feel something soft, really sooth for his wings, his wings flutter, not comfortable with some touchies, yet, he sense some familiarance, like, he knew, this could be someone he recognize before he forget.
he looked down, theres a giant fiery palm, not hot to touch, rather warm, like a gentle hug, he notice a huge finger which isn’t fiery but gloved, and he recognized the hands, those are none other, than his best friend, Rocket, or now.. Stargazer… he was worried at Follower, he seems sad, so he come to comfort, he doesn’t know since his reincarnation cause him to forget almost eveyrthing, but he knew Follower need comfort.
Follower looked up, seeing those huge starry eyes, he starts to ask.
Follower : do i know you?
Stargazer : i’m afraid i never heard about you.
Follower: that’s fine, you’re.. so huge… are you the “celestial inphernal” that some people talking about?
Stargazer : haha, yeah, i guess so.
Follower : i see, how come you went.. this big?
Stargazer : i’m a star, of course, stars comes out big.
Follower : your palm, your face, and your gentleness, i never feel so safe before.
Stargazer : maybe, i kind of heard about you before?
both went silence, eventually, after along quiet moment, Stargazer finally recognize Follower.
Follower : Rocket… is that you?
Stargazer : i… i remember now, i’m your close friend, Rocket, no wonder why you seems familiar, it’s been years.
Follower : so you’re the friend i’ve been missing for so long, i miss you too.
Follower hugged his huge finger, as Stargazer palms him gently, only leaving his head out, Stargazer uses his other hand to caresses his wings, the base part was very ticklish, causing him to squirm, he chuckles as he pet his head, causing him to coos like a bird, despite with Follower serious and emotionless expression, he seems enjoy affection that he misset a lot for a long time, he doesn’t know why Stargazer is huge now, but what matters is he’s still alive, not in a way how mortal live anymore, they’re both now immortal, their bond will be more stronger than ever.
as Follower become tired, Stargazer carries him to his top of his forehead, Follower purred and sleeps on his top, Stargazer chuckles as he carefully stretches himself like a cat, and starts sleeping as well, he put his head on top of planet like a pillow, but not trying to completely break it, logic make no sense, but who cares?
Now both went in deep and peaceful sleep, finally have company to each other.
