They silently laughed and smiled brightly when they heard Astro's laughter, the laughter they hadn't heard in so long.
Breakfast was beautiful, the food was amazing the atmosphere was amazing, and the hilarious jokes were brilliant!
Theo felt at home with these people, they showed kindness he had never seen before and cared for him even when they didn't know him.
Even Edith! The scary lady was so charming and nice during the entire breakfast, Astro believed it to be the best breakfast that he had had in eons.
And just like that, 20 minutes past, and breakfast was finished.
Maria and Zachary were the first to leave the dining table since they had urgent documents to sign and more things to do since they were King and Queen.
Then Alisha parted ways with them because she wanted to play COD. She was even classed as one of the best players in the game due to her unbelievable sniping skills and ruthless killing.
And then there were 3.
Astro stayed seated in placed with his elbow on the table which holded his chin up, Theo sat next to him in silence as he stared lovingly at Astro.
Edith saw Theo making googly eyes at Astro and smirked, the teasing within her wanted to tease this cutie named Theo~
"Hehaha! I see you're already smitten by my boy Astro~" She laughed as she picked up the plates and placed them on the trolley.
"Uhem.. Who wouldn't be?" Theo commented with a slight laugh. Astro gave a small chuckle but retorted with, "Everyone." Pretty self-depracting if you ask me..
Edith rolled her eyes at Astro's comment and said, "That's because their assholes that don't even deserve to be mentioned."
She remembered when Astro was younger and would come home from school with bruises on his body, Edith almost stormed into that school herself and murdered the little shits that dared to touch the prince!
But, Astro didn't say anything, he only said he was clumsy and would fall, she believed it at first but when it became a continuous loop and more bruises appeared she put the pieces of the puzzle together and got ready for war.
Yet she held out, Astro didn't ask for help so she held out, until one day he came back with a knife in his gut.
That day Astro called for death, the day he begged someone to end his life to stop the pain and misery he felt.
Edith's rage hit its limit that day, she stormed into that trash school and had a go at the principal, she had a go at everyone!
She wouldn't even let death greet them, she stained her own hands with blood all for Astro, and she didn't regret one bit.
But none of that matters right now, because right now she was with Astro and his new boyfriend~
In her heart she had already accepted him, and she couldn't be more happy to see him smile so brightly that it affected his lifeless eyes, they sparkled like stars in the night.
Have you ever wished upon a star? Well, Edith had countless times, she didn't wish for wealth, family, fortune, or anything for herself, what she wished for was for Astro to smile, not that fake smile, but a true full blown smile.
And at breakfast today, he finally did.
She felt that those stars she wished upon finally granted her wish, and that wish came in the form of a young man named Theo.
"Oh, If they dare to say Astro is ugly then I'll beat them to the pulp! You have no idea the lengths us poor people need to go through to stay alive and I will proudly kill anyone for your family!" Theo stated with so much firmness and aggression in his voice that it would scare anyone away.
Edith silently smiled in approval, and just like that she approved of Theo.
No need of an interview, he has gained her favor and he didn't even know how.
Astro smiled inside, hearing something like that coming from Theo made him unbelievably happy.
"What? Did I say something wrong? Because I'm not taking what I said back!" Theo questioned when it was silent for too many seconds to count, he knew that he was pretty aggressive due to how he was brought up but his honesty is unmatched in this world full of lying and deceitful people.
He was so brutally honest that it would make people cry, like how he said to some bitchy mother who was trying to steal food from a young woman that she if she stopped eating she wouldn't be the hippo she was.
Or how he punched a child for trying to steal his own food which took eons upon eons of weeks to buy.
He didn't care about these assholes, and never did.
But he for once in his life cared about someone else's opinion of himself, and that was Astro. He had this urge to always do his best infront of Astro and that truly scared him.
Astro laughed at Theo's comment, he was just so touched that he had forgotten to respond so he replied to Theo with, "You said nothing wrong, I just felt so happy that you would do something like that for me even though we have only known eachother for not long."
Theo gave a light smile before saying, "Thats because I lo- like you, and I feel like I've known you for so much longer than a day, I feel like I can connect with you on a spiritual level~" Theo stuttered a first but managed to change the topic real fast.
Little did he know that Astro had heard his little 'stutter' and put together what he was going to say at first.
He smirked internally, 'Oh little Bunny~ I heard that Bunny~ I will definitely try my hardest so you can say that full sentence without a care for who hears~' He thought with a stoic expression.
But in reality he responded to Theo with, "Same~ Hehehe, anyway, Edith I think you wanted to interview my Bunny Theo here, right?" Theo froze up, HE WASN'T READY!
Theo's mind flew into chaos on everything! His heart raced as he tried to think of what Edith would ask and what he should answer with. He was overthinking like crazy, playing non-existent scenarios in his head as his eyes opened wide and a frown appeared on his face.
Edith saw all the 5 stages of grief appearing on Theo's face and laughed outloud. Theo, who was dying internally and cursing Astro as his mind kept coming up with scenarios that scared him, heard Edith laugh and turned straight to her.
Unknown tears that he didn't know he had started pouring down his face, this only made Edith laugh harder!
Astro was confused in the change in mood and questioned it, "What happened? Why are you laughing? And why isn't Theo saying anything?"
Edith laughed a little longer before replying to all his questions, "I think you scared little Theo~ His got tears down his face looking like an abandoned puppy!"
Astro imagined the scenario in his head and laughed a little at the crying puppy, " Aw~ Is Theo not ready for the interview?~" He commented in a baby voice as he reached out for Theo's hand which was luckily resting on the table where Astro could grab it easily.
His guessing skills were truly unmatched.
"Its okay lil Theo~" He hushed with a baby voice, Theo was currently dumbfounded as he looked at Astro's act.
"I will kill you after this interview." Theo stated as he death glared Astro so much that he would've died 10 times over if that were possible.
"Aw~ I'll be waiting lil Bun Bun~" He said as he blew a kiss, Theo rolled his eyes as he turned to Edith.
Edith had watched everything unfold and just wanted to laugh, she had been holding it in so Theo didn't see but when he turned to her she just burst!
Astro joined in with her on laughing and Theo felt betrayed, he had never hated and loved someone so much in his life!
"Oh but i'm sorry Astro.." Edith suddenly said, making Theo's ear perk up.
Astro stopped his laughter and turned to Edith's voice, he had a bad premonition.
"You see.. Theo already passed the interview so I don't need him, I guess your death will be soon~ Hahaha" She laughed wickedly as she walked out the door with the trolley, she winked at Theo before leaving and smiled.
Theo was stunned for a second before turning to Astro with an evil smile on his face, Astro codn't see it but he clearly felt the change in temperature and malicious air filling the room.
He leaned back, away from Theo.
"Ehh.." He stammered, he definitely regretted his baby talk.
