Before this begins, just to clarify that the character labelled as "Karárak" is my TOH oc and is around Collector's age and of a similar species, this can be read as platonic or romantic I don't mind either way
Tw: Mentions of child abuse
Collector was scared, having awoken from a nightmare with a loud cry. Looking around they saw where he was "it..was a dream..?" The Star-child said quietly, just as two people ran into the room; one of them being King and the other was Karárak. "Collector are you okay?!" King exclaimed, looking at him with concern as Karárak walked towards his close friend "it's alright shooting star..you're safe.." he said; sitting beside Collector with a faint smile. Collector sighed softly "I had another nightmare..about them.." they said as he clung to the other god-like child beside him. King was a bit confused but kept quiet, observing the two gods to better understand how to calm Collector down. Karárak ran his fingers through Collector's hair, letting them cry into his chest "it's okay shooting star..let it out.." he whispered with a soft smile on his face. Collector looked up at Karárak, a smile on his face and tears in his eyes "thank you for nring here..." they said softly, still clinging to the 'god of death' "it really means a lot to me.." he added as Karárak wiped away their tears.
After a few minutes Collector had calmed down "Wanna talk about what happened in your nightmare..?" King asked, looking at Collector with a tiny smile. "Yeah..I think I'm ready" the star child responded with a sigh, Karárak holding onto Collector's hand so they felt more comfortable. King sat down and looked at Collector and Karárak. "Well..my family wasn't all that friendly, thry would yell at me..and sometimes hit me. In my dream my mother was yelling at me and tried to seal me away..and just before she did....I woke up" Collector explained, tears welling up in their eyes a bit, looking at Karárak and King with a tiny smile. Karárak hugged Collector and rubbed their back "you don't need to worry about those people anymore.." he said calmly, the star child looked at him and smiled "thanks Karárak" Collector said, pressing a gentle peck on Karárak's cheek "you're my hero" they said quietly Before deciding to go back to bed. "Night you two.." he said with a smile before going right back to sleep
