👑🌱 || Sprout || 🌙 Moonberry 🍓|| DANDY'S WORLD

(You are for Astro)
Sprout didn't want to leave his dreams behind when he got out of bed in the morning. He was more content with his life than ever. But part of him constantly felt a sense of emptiness, a feeling that consumed him completely upon returning to reality. It was a very strange feeling for Sprout. He's a realist, not one to let his head wander. Until, in yet another nightmare after a turbulent day, someone very carefully took his hand, leading him out of the thick darkness. The stranger, who at that moment seemed closest, led Sprout to a night field, where they lay together on the grass and silently gazed at the stars. Sprout was upset when he woke for the first time and realized it was all a dream. But his sadness didn't last long. Astro—as the cartoon character introduced himself—began to come every night. They traveled through various beautiful worlds they imagined together, discussed all sorts of topics, and quickly found common ground. Astro was Sprout's fantasy (he thought so), but it was too realistic. It became difficult to perceive it as entertainment. Although Sprout had never imagined himself holding hands with someone, someone quietly speaking pleasant words, looking at him with a soft and kind smile that illuminated his face brighter than a star-shaped eye... Oh, Sprout, how foolishly you fell in love with your own fantasy. With the crescent moon that illuminated not only the night sky, but also new corners of the stern king's heart.

Once again, Sprout grew tired of his internal torment, slowly pulling the blanket off his body. A sixth sense told him that Astro existed. Or a cartoon character similar to him. The brain doesn't create images from nothing.

Sprout ordered the guards to gather the kingdom's sparse population at any celebration, hoping to spot Astro. On the day of the celebration, Sprout scanned the surrounding area. His gaze fell on the crescent moon, sitting discreetly to the side. Yes, Astro! Well, Sprout would seem odd if he simply approached. He made up an excuse, characteristic of a caring king, and crossed his trembling hands behind his back.
– Aren’t you too tired by the holiday?
