Tw: Philip/Belos being a manipulative piece of crap
Also in this AU of sorts, Collector wasn't trapped in a tile but chained up in a cage/prison. The tile being the key in a way
Collector looked at the walls of their cell, hearing footsteps approaching him. "Huh..? Who's t-there-!?" The star-child exclaimed, looking towards the bars, trying to run to them but unfortunately his chains prevented Collector from getting closer to the bone-looking bars. A figure approached the cage and caught sight of Collector "so you're the Collector..?" The person said, taking the glass key out of their coat pocket. Collector nodded, looking at this strange man "yes! Yes! I am..! Are you here to free me?!" They responded with a desperate tone in his voice. The man simply nodded as he unlocked the cell door and walked inside. "How rude of me not to introduce myself, I'm Philip Whittebane" he said, walking towards Collector with an unseen grin. The godly child smiled at Philip, sitting as patiently as they could as the human man unchained them. "I'm free! I'm free! Thank you Philip! Thank you so so much!" Collector exclaimed happily; wrapping their tiny arms around Philip in an attempt to hug the mortal. "You're welcome Collector.." Philip responded, kneeling in front of the childish deity "since I freed you, would you like to help me with this plan of mine..?" He then asked, sounding caring and making it seem like Collector could trust him. Collector looked at Philip, a smile still on their face "hmm..okay! As long as you promise you'll always be my friend!" He responded, not knowing the grave mistake they had just made.
Philip explained his plan to Collector, saying how he wanted to eradicate all life on the Boiling Isles. However this didn't really sit well with Collector as what Philip had in mind went against their personal morals. "Um..Are you sure..? That sounds kinda violent.." he said, looking up at Philip with a tiny frown. Philip pulled the key out of his pocket "would you rather I lock you back up Collector?" He asked, the meer thought of being alone and neglected again was enough to trick the star-child into compliance. "F..Fine..." Collector mumbled "...I'll help you.." they added, looking away from Philip. The human grinned maliciously and looked at Collector "good..and don't worry Collector, you'll get a great reward for helping me.." he said, holding out his hand for them. With no other clear option, Collector took Philip's hand and walked away with the human; wondering if what he's getting themself into would be truly worth whatever the reward will be. "Um..Philip..?" Collector soon said, breaking the silence "I'm kinda hungry..please can we get some food?" They asked, looking up at Philip with tired eyes. "Of Course, what type of friend would I be if I wasn't to feed you?" Philip responded "I'll cook something once we're back at my house" he added calmly, knowing that once Collector was inside the house they wouldn't have any choice but to stay there.
A.N: I feel like making this AU into a full fanfic of it's own now lol. If I do would you guys read it?
