Sprout POV:
(idk how to start this lol)
*BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP*
"WUHH?!!- Oh.." Sprout yelps, clearly startled due to his alarm, to which he owned for quite a while now.
"Ughh... What time is it..?" The clock reads 6:33.
He sighs. "At least my alarm decides to work today..?" He then flops out of his bed and shuffles to his bathroom to get ready.
*time skip *
He sighs, questioning all of his decisions that led up to this point.
*knock knock*
The door then swings open, catching Sprout by surprise.
"Heya buddy! How ya doin' today? I'm having a pretty fin-omenal day, if I do say so myself!"
"..."
"..Heh.. Get it?"
"...Yeah."
"..Why so seal-rious?"
"..Erm..Finn, I have a quesition.."
"Oh reel-y? I'm all gills!"
A bead of sweat glides down his forehead.
"Hypothetically..." When did we bring out hypotheticals? "If you were asking someone whose head was shaped like a cresent moon...to...uh.." Sprout trails off.
"I'm listenin'!" Finn replies to the sudden ending of the others sentence.
"Uhhh...Ifyouhadalikingtowardsthatpersoninquestionwhatwouldbeapickuplinetotelltothem?.." Sprout sputters out.
"OHH!!!! I know what you're gettin' at! You gotts c-"
"SHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" Sprout hurridly puts a finger towards Finn's lips.
"O-kay then...Let me ink on that!" Finn shuts his door with a soft click.
"..." Okay then..
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
After what seems like forever standing outside Finn's door, he finally opened it again.
"I've reel-ed in a fin—tastic pick-up line for your beloved!"
Unnecessary choice of words but okay.. "Alright! What do you have?" Sprout says, rather quickly.
"Alright, 'Are you the moon? Because I feel pulled towards your gravitational pull!'" Pretty sweet, amirite?"
"...Erm..it'll have to do." Sprout says under his breath.
"Thanks for the help Finn!" Sprout says before speedwalking towards the elevator.
"No problemo! Hit my shell phone anytime!"
"..What?"
time skip..................................yea..................ok
Astro's POV:
"Hmm..." Astro hums. "Today was quiet...a bit too quiet.. I wonder why..." His attention returns back to the astrology book he's read far too many times.
*DING!*
"Ah, there's the toon of the hour!" Sprout calls out.
Astro turns his attention to the toon beside him.
"Just who I was looking for."
"Mm, hello Sprout.." Astro responds cooly.
"Are you well..?"
"Eh, well enough now that..now that you're..here.."
A pang of nervousness taints Sprout's confident voice.
"That's good.."
"..."
"..."
Awkward silence...
"Um, did you want anything..?"
"No!" Sprout responds way too quickly. "No.."
"Uhm, do you..mind if I..sit next to you..?"
Astro moves over, allowing him to take a seat.
Sprout's eyes flick between the floor and Astro, his face becoming flushed.
"Uhm.. Are you the moon?"
"..."
"Because I can't help but be drawn to your gravitational pull!"
Sprout nudges Astro with his elbow.
"Sprout I...I am..a moon.."
"Yes! Yes..yes you are..!"
"Mhm..?" Astro watches the strawberry with a hint of amusement in his gaze.
"..Well I just feel pulled towards your bright smile..! It lights up my entire night.."
Astro's eyes light up, his cheeks turning a faint blue.
"...Can you at least tell me off for the corny lines..?"
"Sprout. I don't think they're corny. They're just.. Did you ask Finn for help?"
"..Maybe? I don't know why I did that actually...Please forget this I'm gonna go-"
"Wait!.." Astro grips Sprout's wrist tightly to prevent him from leaving.
"I thought it was cute.. I'm very flattered. Thank you."
"...Y'know what I was trying to do.. Right? Or do you want to watch me humiliate myself further.."
"No, No! I get it! Sprout! I get it. I like you too, it's just.. I didn't expect pick-up lines from you.."
Sprout spins around, face flushed.
"Ugh, don't rub salt in the wound, Astro!!" Astro has a content smile placed across his face. Astro then rises, him and Sprout having varying heights, Astro leans down and places a soft kiss on Sprout's cheek.
Astro breaks the silence.
"Thank you, I really appreciate it. We'll talk later, the book club is stating soon. Unless you want to join this once?"
Sprout stands completely frozen with a stunned look across his face.
Finally, Sprout replies, "Nah! Still a no, Astro. But uhm.. We'll talk..?"
"We'll talk." Astro assures him.
"Right, cool!" Sprout rushes out into the hallway. "I'll see you later, very busy! Haha..!"
Astro lets out a laugh at Sprout's behavior. He tilts his head slightly with a content smile, looking as Sprout rushes into the eleator, back turned.
