Being forgotten already?

*Few months after everything happened*

Astra decided to keep living near Branch since he had been begging him to do it, even begging him to move into his huge underground tunnels. Astra refused that offer due to him not wanting to take away all the attention from his real brothers and queen Poppy.

Astra and Poppy had gotten quite close since it was technically Branch's girlfriend, but his jealousy could be shown at times whenever Poppy asked Astra for help instead of Branch, he would sit on the sit and pout like a kid, Astra just laughed it off and would pat his younger brother's head whenever it happened.

However one day..

Branch: Why do you always Astra to help you!?

Poppy: Branch, calm down, i just didn't want to bother you-

Branch: What is it he can do and i don't!?

Hearing the commotion Astra went up to Branch and put his hand on his shoulder, WRONG choice, as soon as he did, Branch turned around and punched him in the face, making Astra fall back but luckily in time he caught himself, regaining his balance.

Astra was just as shocked as Branch and Poppy, he brought his fingers to touch his lips, yep, that was blood running from his lips and mouth, damn he could punch hard-

Branch: A-astra, i'm so s-sorry- I didn't mean to-

Astra: It's okay Branch, I'm fine. I understand and if it makes you feel better i'll stay away for a bit.

Astra said as he walked up to Branch, petting his head as he headed back to his home to clean up.

Branch: N-no wait Astra-

His words unheard, Poppy scolding Branch who was clearly sorry and was actually feeling really bad about it. Astra didn't knew Branch felt the way he did so he kept helping Poppy whenever he was asked to, of course he couldn't always tell her no, she is the QUEEN after all.

After arriving his home, he went straight to the bathroom to clean up the somewhat big cut on his bottom lip, dang it hurt but he managed to clean it up as good as he possibly could, going to the hospitroll (YALL SEE WHAT I DID THERE) was too much of a bother and he just wanted to lay down for a while, he got quite dizzy from the impact.

Trying to rest, there was a sudden knock on his door, he groaned and got up to open the door. Seeing Floyd, John Dory, Clay, Viva and Branch on the other side, he moved aside to let them in, probably was something important if all of them came just after some time Branch punched him in the mouth.

Branch looked ashamed and mumbled a quiet "sorry" to Astra as he looked confused as heck, waiting for them to speak up so he started.

Astra: So.. Um What's up?

Floyd: So Branch came to us after he told us what happened..

John Dory: I'm disappointed in you Astra.

Astra looked confused and turned his head to look at Branch who avoided eye contact

Astra: Wait what? What's going on..

Viva: Branch told us you've been hitting on Poppy for a while and even that is a low blow from you!

Astra: W-what?

Floyd: I agree, that is a low blow Astra, how could you do that to Branch?

John Dory: Astra i know you just got better in these past months but really?

Astra: Guys.. no, i didn't-

Floyd: It's kinda hard to believe you didn't when we see you with Poppy all the time when Branch is on the side..

Astra's mouth was left open as no words came out, why would he lie about it? Where was Poppy- She could tell them the truth-

He tried to explain his side over and over again, even trying to make Branch admit he was lying but went basically nowhere but Astra being called heartless and a liar.

The door slammed in his face as they all left, he could barely hold his tears.. After all he's done for these trolls? and this is the thanks he gets? Wow

*Le time skip a few days later*

Poppy would come to Astra's house from time to time to make sure he was okay, some days he would open up and other days just ignore her. He didn't want to make Branch and his brothers more mad at him. Poppy tried to tell them that Branch might have twisted the story a bit but no one seemed to listen to her.

Growing more depressed day by day. Astra finally decided to leave but this time he had gotten some scent remover so it would be harder for Rhonda, to be honest it was just some goo and flowers he and some other trolls worked on for the future.

Masking his scent, he left in the dead of night, but he still had to be careful, some trolls was still awake and did random stuff.

Managing to get a few miles away from the village he took a deep breath and went on his way. It was gonna be hard to leave those who he considered family. He still wasn't mad at Branch, he could never hate him, disappointed yes but the others was just too much and didn't even let him get a chance to explain himself.

He was done being forgotten and pushed around with those who doesn't care for him.
