Moonflower angst.

TW: mentions of suicide.

Please click off if any of that makes you uncomfortable.

This was highly requested.

"Astro.. you need to come out of your room. It's not healthy." Shelly whispered as she  opened the door, frowning at the sight of Astro curled up into his blanket – making soft sounds of discomfort while moving around a bit.

"Get out. I don't want to see anyone at the moment." Astro hissed back, rubbing the dark spots under his eyes; not daring to even spare a glance towards Shelly.

"I.. I-i know his.. death was hard.. but it was hard on everyone, I understand your pain. But please. Talk to me–" Shelly stuttered as she began to feel uneasy in Astro's presence; she felt threatened in a way.

"NO. YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. H-HE.. HE WAS EVERYTHING. HE WAS MY EVERYTHING." Astro screamed as he rode from his bed, his arms hanging at his sides while he screamed at the poor shell.

She was silent; sweat rolling down her face as she backed up; Shelly sighed and clasped her hands together – looking off to the side while she frowned.

"Okay.. fine. I'll leave you alone.. but I have one request.. please eat more, it's not healthy and–" Astro shushed her, looming over her with a frown on his face.

"Just get out." His blood shot eyes stared her down; although he seemed angry, he wasn't. His eyes only showed sorrow as Shelly stared through them.

"O-okay.. I'm sorry for bothering you." Shelly shut the door, not making a sound as she left quickly.

Astro sighed and softly plummeted on his bed, rubbing his face with his hands as he stared at the millions of pictures of Dandy on his walls.

"I was never the best artist but.. I can never seem to get his face right.." Astro let out a broken sob; staring at all the pictures of Dandy before his eyes landed on a specific picture.

This one was different. It wasn't made by his own cruel hands, no. It was an actual photograph. A photo taken by one of the toon handlers – a simple picture of them hugging; both smiling as they posed for the camera.

It was such a simple picture and yet it meant so much.

Astro closed his eyes hoping for everything to disappear, he hoped for Dandy to be in his arms again.

He wanted Dandy back.

He needed him back.

After all, what's the moon without its sun?
