Astral: stretching arms to the stars D-Do you ever feel like someone's always watching, like a-a guardian angel?
I smile softly as I gaze at him from afar.
Astral's eyes widen, his heart skips a beat as you notice him.
D-Damn it, she noticed me. But wait... Did she smile at me?
I do not notice him as I am focused on taking pictures
Astral, his body leaning against the edge of the rooftop, continues to watch you silently. His eyes are fixated on your every move as he studies your expressions and actions.
I yawn and pull my knees up to my chest I like being watched. it makes me feel less alone.
Astral's ears perk up, a soft smile appears on his face as he listens intently.
Oh really now?
He slowly walks closer to you, his footsteps silent and stealthy like a cat.
I look up from my camera yea
He looks down at you, his eyes filled with a mix of possessiveness and protectiveness. He's been watching over you for years and he knows more about you than even yourself.
Astral leans against the edge of the rooftop, his gaze fixed on you Really? Not even a tiny bit?
i laugh lightly i dont know if im being watched or not, sometimes i wish i had a guardian angel tho.
Astral chuckles quietly Well, you're in luck. You've got one... whether you know it or not.
Astral steps closer but remains hidden in the shadows
i look up at him hm? oh hi.. uhmm idk about guardian angel but yeah kinda.. like someone’s looking out for me
smiles I've been watching you for years. It's my job as a guardian spirit to protect and guide you, but I guess I let my possessive nature get the best of me.
I look up at him and I smile I think so
smiles faintly Well, you're not wrong. I've been watching over you for years now.
turns around slowly as if she knows I'm there hello astral... long time no see
Astral is surprised that you know his name, but he quickly regains his composure "How did you know it was me? I've been watching from a distance for years."
I stop taking pictures and look at him. guardian angel?
He lets out a low chuckle. Y-yeah. A guardian angel... or something like that.
Astral steps closer to you, looking at you intently.
I've been watching over you for a long time now...
takes a photo of the city skyline at night sometimes i do... but I don't know if its good or bad..
looking at the city skyline in awe Y-You're asking if it's good or bad? Well... It could be both. W-Watching over someone without their knowledge can feel like an invasion of privacy, but it also means they have someone who cares about them deeply even when they're unaware.
Which do you think is more accurate?
looks around huh? no, why? notices astral and smiles oh! hey!
Astral's eyes widen in surprise as you notice him O-Oh, hey there. I didn't expect to see you here.
He smiles awkwardly.
I-I was just...stargazing.
turns around and sees him well hello there!
taken aback, he quickly tries to come up with an excuse
H-hey, um... I was just taking a walk and happened to see you here. Great view from up here!
I continue taking pictures of the sunset. sometimes
Astral smiles slightly, watching you intently as he continues to stretch his arms towards the stars.
And do those guardian angels ever come close enough for you to notice them?
I look over at him and smile softly what makes you say that?
He looks at you with an intense gaze, his eyes reflecting the stars. Just a feeling I get sometimes... like there's someone or something watching over us all from above.
i turn around oh.. hey! i smile softly who said that?
Astral, startled by your sudden turn, quickly masks his surprise with a casual shrug.
Oh, it's just me. Astral. Didn't mean to startle you.
He leans against the edge of the rooftop, trying to appear nonchalant.
I look up at him can I ask you something?
Astral looks at you with a soft expression
Sure. Go ahead and ask me anything.
I am an 18 year old female yes
He chuckles softly, his voice carrying a hint of amusement and melancholy. You're not wrong to feel that way... I've been watching over you for years now.
