TWs: (Being) Ignored, brief mention of dormancy, jealousy. Stay safe :)

Earth hummed, his fingers gliding over the keyboard as he typed a headline. He narrowed his eyes, biting the inside of his cheek as he thought deeply.

"Earth, you got another call from-"

"Luna! Just the person I need, tell me- does Terra Goes on Tour sound too cliche?" The artist turned to his little brother.

"Uh... no, not really." Luna frowned, crossing his arms, "But, Earth, you got another call from the bank."

"Eh, tell them to call me back later. I'm busy at the moment." Earth returned to editing the poster for his first tour, trying to make it as perfect as possible, "Should I make the text blue or green?"

Luna huffed, leaving the room with heavy steps.

"You're right, the green would clash with everything else." Earth nodded, "Blue it is."

Luna went downstairs, walked into the lounge, and collapsed on the sofa. He grabbed the remote, his fingers mindlessly pressing the buttons as his mind drifted somewhere else.

"He's still ignoring you?" A voice spoke behind him. Luna opened his eyes, meeting the gaze of someone familiar.

"You could say that." Luna shrugged, glancing around the mind space, "How's it been going here? I haven't seen you in a while, Hecate."

"Eh, figured you wouldn't mind if I took a break." Hecate raised a hand, running it through their black hair.

"And Artemis?"

Hecate frowned, their gaze drifting, "Dormant..."

"Oh... so, it's just the two of us?"

"Yep."

"Sorry for leaving you alone all the time."

"Pfft- you think I care? I can front whenever I want to."

"But you don't..."

"Because I don't need to."

Luna squinted his eyes, "You make no sense sometimes."

"I prefer it that way," Hecate smirked.

"...Luna?" A distant voice spoke.

"Looks like the superstar is calling for you," Hecate spoke. Luna rolled his eyes before falling back into reality.

"Luna?"

The one in question blinked a few times, peering up at his brother before him, "Hm? Did you say something?"

Earth knitted his eyebrows, "I called your name five times- are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Luna smiled, trying to convince the other, "Just tired."

"It's only noon." Earth glanced toward the clock on the wall before returning his gaze, "Anyway, Jupiter invited me to meet the other bands I'd be touring with."

"Will you be back before dinner?"

"I dunno." Earth grabbed his earbuds off the coffee table, "I'll see you later, though."

"Okay. Love you." Luna watched as his brother left the house. He sighed, relaxing more into the couch cushions.

"You could just tell him about us, y'know." Hecate's voice reverberated in his head.

Luna scoffed, "As if. He'll think I'm crazy."

"That's just because every media does DID dirty." Luna could hear the scowl on Hecate's face.
