Ok. This isn't the normal format because I felt it was..kinda too serious to be? Anyways, this is a string of thoughts I just had. So. Yeah. Also I guess it gives some more insight into my version of the characters too. Also, Trigger warning for unreality? Kind of?
It was currently the middle of the night. Four in the morning to be precise. All was quiet in the hideout and only one person was awake: Stain.
He was currently sat in the living room. He was sat on a big purple cushion on the floor, his knees tucked into his chest, staring out the window at the full moon. Thoughts started to flicker through his head of how much he'd loved astrology as a kid. He smiled a little to himself before sighing.
He heard the living room door creak open and quickly looked over his shoulder to see who it was. To his relief, he saw his boyfriend, Spinner, half asleep and in his pyjamas "Hey.." stain said softly, looking back to the moon. "It's four am..why are you awake..?" Spinner yawned, going to sit by his boyfriend on the floor. "I got hungry." The hero killer admits, sheepishly. Spinner laughs a little and leans against him "yeah, that sounds plenty like you." he joked and stain smiled "seriously though...it's insane." He says, "what is?" The smaller of the two asks
"The moon. I mean...it's over 380 million miles away from us, yet it still does so much for the Earth. But then..even if it was just twice as close, the gravitational pull would be all over the place. Cities like London and New York would be completely submerged in water and places that Would previously be submerged would emerge because there's only so much water in the ocean. Equally...if it was gone, we'd hardly survive 12 hours, if that. There'd be thousands of days in a year and a day would pass in the blink of an eye. But then...who's to say a day is a day anymore? Wouldn't it now just be a second or two? We'd have to reconstruct the whole time system to fit the new world. But at the same time, would it even matter? I mean, we'd just float away, and I don't mean the people off the earth though I can imagine that will happen, I mean the earth from the solar system if the moon acts as a magnet, holding it in place. At the same time, would we even notice? other than the moon not being there but then we could simply say "oh it's probably just the moon cycle" or "oh it's probably just cloudy tonight"? Then as well, how lucky are we that everything fell into place as it did? The moon, the sun, Saturn blocking the asteroids, the planet having the vegetation and water we need, how lucky are we that it all worked as well as it did? Is it 1 in a million? But then, even if it is 1 in a million, there's hundreds of billions of planets in the universe, in the Milky Way alone, then is 1 in a million even that rare of a chance anymore? Who's to say there's no other planets, exactly like this one? That have life like we do, that are completely sentient and almost human? ...what if there's someone out there, right now, on a completely different planet in a completely different galaxy, on the other side of the universe, having this exact conversation at this exact moment? Word for word? The exact same time? What if there is? Will I ever know? Will they ever know? No. ..we won't..we can only speculate. And if there are other planets like that, then does the earth really matter anymore? Do we matter? Does anything matter? What would happen if we just...died out? Would it have an effect on anything at all? Or would it just happen and nothing come of it? Would it even be for the best? I mean..if we're killing our planet, who's to say we won't kill the others if we go to them." He looks down at his hands, letting out a small sigh.
Spinner Looks at him for a minute "...i..think I get it." He finally says "yeah...Anyway, that's all I really had to say, I'm gonna go to bed now. Come on." Stain gets up and gently scoops spinner up before carrying him to their room. It wasn't long before they fell asleep, the moonlight dousing their room in a silvery glow.
And I'm done. So yeah. That's me spilling my brain matter onto my iPad keyboard. Hope you enjoyed.
