28 | Uranus + Miranda - "Mockingbird"

A/N: Dedicated to all those people who share the similar headcanon of Miranda and Uranus being close friends. I see them as like, older brother-little sister dynamic :]

No specific timeline! I would say this takes place after the Moon Revolution, though! This one is a little short, sorry! I just wanted to get this lil thing finished.

CONTENT WARNING:
- Momentary violence. It isn't too bad though.

"I'll give you the world. I'll buy a diamond ring for you, I'll sing for you, I'll do anything for you to see you smile." - Mockingbird (slightly altered lyrics)

"...And 28. Yup, all of the moons are where they should be." Titania checked off something off of a clipboard. Uranus let out a sigh of relief. Around them, the smaller moons were wrestling about and violently slamming each other into the ground. For once, there were more than six moons in one place at a time; Umbriel, Ariel, and Oberon were filtering back in from a group 'hangout session'.

Titania looked at the latest painting Uranus made. It was of the minor Uranian moons, since he thought that'd be something they'd like. "Can I show that to them?" she asked, cocking her head. "I think they'd stop trying to murder each other then." Uranus nodded, handing it over to her.

Uranus opened his mouth like he was about to speak, then awkwardly dipped his head and scuffed his shoe in the space-dirt for a second. "Um..." he started, sounding oddly embarrassed. "Never mind. Just tell me if they like it or not." Titania smiled, flicking his shoulder before walking towards the others.

Luckily for him, they took the gift gratefully, some of the moons clustering around it and watching with interest. Uranus stopped himself from overthinking all of this, his fretting could melt the sparkle under their eyes. He looked down, trying to fight back a smile.

"Now will you all stop trying to murder each other? I'm gonna get gray hairs a couple billion years early," Titania huffed, sounding amused at their antics.

He didn't really remember what it was like it be young. He had some memories, but they couldn't be visualized. It was just warmth and daylight. It was more of a feeling than anything that had stuck with Uranus for billions of years. He didn't think he had the words to describe it. Happiness? No, it was something greater than that. It gave him hope, joy, and every other positive emotion all in one. His mood was quickly uplifted remembering that little memory in the depths of his mind. Not only that, it was nice to build a better relationship with his moons again.

No sooner than he could begin to relax, the sound of startled protests followed by a furious shriek split the air, sending everyone bristling and some of his moons squeaking in alarm. Of course, because the Milky Way loved Uranus so much, something had to happen the moment he was in a good mood. "Hold on, just.. stay with the others, Titania—" Uranus instructed quickly, whirling around and dashing towards the scene. Titania nodded sharply.

While running, he recognized the harsh voice of one of Saturn's moons- Enceladus- and he pictured him and some other moon at each other's throats again. But when he reached the source of the outburst, there was no spilt blood (yet) and two small figures being forced apart. Instead the small white moon was looming over Miranda, who was hugging herself and trembling violently, with a crowd watching them wide-eyed. Uranus stood there in shock, watching tears pool in his sister's eyes as she let out choked sobs. Only then did he actually begin to process what Enceladus was saying.

"How could you be so STUPID!?" Enceladus snarled, tone thick with anger as he glared down at Miranda. Whatever words Miranda had tried to reply with were drowned out by him shouting over her. "You nearly KILLED ME with that asteroid!"
