“.. Oh, well.. that’s kinda reasonable, I mean-, are they going to the extent of what you’ll do or..-?”

"They're planning some sort of coming-of-age ball?"

(Chapter fourrrr-The Roses are Rotting. - Chapter 4 - CrowCares1604 - Sanders Sides (Web Series) [Archive of Our Own])

“…”

Lunar fell silent at the words, almost as if he “knew” what that meant..


(heh, yayyyy! :>)

"I've never been outside the castle. And this is my last chance at going outside and if I don't leave the castle now, I'll never be able to. So... I need your help."

“…I see.. Heh, so.. you finally wanna get out of her with your brother? Good to see a change in you.. we’ll leave tonight, when they fall asleep, if what you say is true, they will fall asleep early. So do not worry..

timeskip to later in the day

Star didn't pause his reading as the door opened. He already knew who it was from the footsteps, and he could pretty much guess what his father wanted to talk to him about.

(Didya readddd it?) 

(heh, no no, not yeeet, I will though! I just can not right now as, we are about to leave, and I believe my next class with stall me from my phone -w-)


“…Father, what do you need, me and star were just about to study together.”

..-sigh-.. lunar..-

(Oki!) 

" Can you put the book down, Star?"

Star turned his head towards the sound of his father's voice. He bent his head and closed the book slowly, running his fingers over the cover once before putting it down next to him.

"What do you want, Father?" Star asked. "I think I already know, but I need to hear you say it for it to be real."

There was silence for a while and Star could see the blurry figure of his father fidgeting a little.

"Your mother and I are planning your coming-of-age ball-"

"I don't want one." Star interrupted. Phillip blinked.

"But, Roman, it's one of the most important-"

"Important events of a future king's life, I know. It's where you find a queen. But I'm not going to." 

Star turned his head to face his father. It gave him the uncanny look of looking directly into your soul. 

"What person is going to want to marry a prince who can't see? If you get married, you want your partner to be able to tell you you're beautiful or that you look wonderful. I can't do that. So who's going to want to marry me?"

This had Phillip a little stumped.

"Star, there are lots of other reasons to have a coming-of-age ball. It's a place where you meet everyone who's going to be your future advisors and-"

"Then why didn't Lunar ever have one?" 

Lunar would soon just tip his head slightly down, turning his seat to the side as if what ones words had hurt him.. that one being star, as he did not realize how much that would’ve effected him dearly..


“…We do not speak of that, you understand that he is-“


L: “An untrustworthy kid.. who can not even keep the steps in front of him steady.. j know father.. but you not need to remind me of my past.. I understand what I’ve did wrong.. and I know you shall never accept that fact.. so just leave it be..”

"But that's not fair. For him or for anyone else. You're telling me that just because my brother is sometimes a bit reckless, he doesn't have the right to come of age? He'll already be of age when you have the ball. Either Lunar and I get a coming-of-age ball together or I don't have one at all."
