Prompt: Fumus/Elux [Orbits]
Days passed, as then did weeks – by all the times Fumus had gotten a visit from his fellow god. He hadn't bothered to leave his own world, it was just them who always showed up every once in a while no matter what he was in the middle of doing - let it be paperwork or just kicking around his useless head angel – they apparently came just to say "hi", proceeded to obnoxiously and shamelessly flirt, then get blown off in the end anyway – the cycle repeated itself.
"Fummy~" came a familiar sing-song voice. Just the one he'd been thinking about. It annoyed him, but their presence was memorable each time, to say the least.
It didn't seem all that different when they came over again – their self-proclaimed glorious self and all, with a mischievous grin - this time with some kind of an orb tucked away in their hands, though he did little in paying attention to it, he still couldn't help but be curious as to what tricks Elux had up in their sleeve this time, as if he hadn't seem them all already (apparently not, he guessed).
"It's you." he spat out the second word in bitter acknowledgment. There was probably some dried blood on his knuckles from before that he'd forgotten about, but what did that matter, really.
They came closer to him, like someone would with a close friend (as if), "Don't be like that. Aren't you glad to see me?"
"You don't exactly fit into the category of those I would." Fumus grunted, couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Meanie," said Elux, in a mock-offended tone, "Anyway, there's something which I require about – of utmost importance, Fumus!"
"…Which is…?"
"There's someplace I would like to take you." they continued.
"…Where?" he nonchalantly pressed on.
"I think you'll like this one. After all, I only expect and provide the best." they boasted with such glee.
He wasn't about to ask another question, even if he wanted to.
"Tch, alright… I'll let you entertain me." he said after a moment of consideration, to which the other god seemed pleased with.
He supposed it wasn't too much of an annoyance, he could always just tell them to get lost the next time if their efforts to pursue him would prove to be futile and just a complete bore in the end. Though he still preferred to try and not stir up too much trouble with them, if even possible.
They formed a portal for the two of them, for easy world-jumping – to their own, he only assumed. As he followed in after them, and just as quickly - from his workplace, he ended up in a foreign location. It was dark all around, presumably nighttime, the beneath of it felt soft like grass – but as for the eyes, there wasn't much to see. He knew this wasn't primarily what their world looked like, it must've been a specific kind of spot.
"Allow me to show you…" Elux began, with the same orb still in hand as they raised it, hovering above at the tip of their fingers. It illuminated a light golden glow, creating a pattern of swirls in all shapes and directions, similar to the ones on their own wild mess of hair. The orb now slowly raised itself way above their heads, as the gleam began to fade away alongside the round object – until it disappeared into the night sky and was no longer in their sight.
In it's place, dozens of other similar to it began to appear in the dull, dark blue void – all circular, some bigger, some shining brighter than others, but all of them distinct in various color and design. They rotated and moved slowly around eachother in similar motion.
As Fumus watched the birth of dozens of new lifeforms, his only thought was to mumble in response; "…Planet-watching, really?"
"What do you think?" they wondered, awaiting for his reaction.
"…Sounds like a waste of time." he shuffled around in his pocket, wondering if he brought a cigarette. Elux could sense his growing irritation, so they aimed to distract him in any way.
"No, no, most only get to look at them from afar, as mere specs of tiny stars, all of them looking the exact same in their eyes. This… is a more grandiose feeling, don't you think?"
He stopped searching momentarily, thinking of a reply to that statement, "I think that I probably don't have time to look at other beings of life. I have my own world already… as do you."
"So, all the more reason for you to step out of your comfort zone, no?" Elux opted to sit down on the warm grass.
"…What 'comfort zone' exactly?" he inquired suspiciously, finally finding a cigarette, as he light it, placing it between his teeth.
"Which one do you think is the most brilliant of them? I know it's tempting to say your own, but…"
He grunted and shrugged in response, not even bothering to inspect them, as he decided on sitting down alongside the other god, "I don't care, they all look the same to me." he could sit this one out, as long as his last smoke would last.
Elux couldn't help but smugly smirk again at their own success – it seemed they were a step closer to their object of affections – at least they weren't being told off and Fumus wasn't actively trying to leave either, so that was a plus!
