You tapped your fingers along your desk, eyes scanning your phone screen. Your bank account has, in fact, received ten thousand pounds. Your eyes simply couldn't believe the sheer amount of money you were seeing.

"Ten thousand..? Just for a trip to Italy?" You quietly mumbled to yourself, still wondering how and why Achilles felt the need to deposit such a large amount into your account.

"Well, thanks for the free rent. And chips... And primogems." You wondered, mind going places thinking about how you could save up as much as possible.

...Though, the idea of pampering yourself for a little sounds like a marvelous idea. Maybe you could get your nails done with Minnie!

Asterios has once again fallen asleep in the comfort of the balcony chair, tired and exhausted from his hectic work.

While asleep, he dreamt of you.

It was a simple dream; you were laying down on the couch, with him cuddling into your chest. You played with his hair, and everything was quiet and peaceful.

He was hugging you so close, he practically fused into you. Nuzzling his head into your chest, listening to your heartbeat... It was like therapy to him. All he needed was the comfort of your warmth.

You have, once again, found your boss sleeping outside like a puppy. He looked cold, and you still couldn't believe that he was able to fall asleep in such a rough environment. It wasn't raining, but the air was icy.

You sighed like a disappointed mother, and brought him the beige blanket once more. You slid open the balcony door, and wrapped the blanket around Achilles' body. Almost instantly, he nuzzled into the warm fabric. He let out a sigh of contentment, obviously very happy with the added warmth.

"..Sunshine..." He mumbled, still fully unconscious. Your head snapped towards him.

A warm memory filled your mind.

Asteri- No, Star always called you that...

You blinked, surprised. You could see resemblance between the two, though that is impossible.

Star, though you never truly believed he died, has disappeared more than ten years ago, it's not possible...

You sighed, 'What am I thinking? He's just dreaming of swimming through the Solar System, obviously...' you thought.

In the back of your mind, you were reminded of the day the universe took your best friend from you.

"Do tell me more." Achilles said, continuing to munch on the strawberry tart you've given him this morning. You were comfortably sprawled out in front of him, in one of his office chairs.

"Girl, let me tell you about the most insane thing. It was, like, the biggest scandal of that year. So, our finals were coming near..." As you continued to babble on about the latest scoops of drama, your memories or simply topics you were interested in, Asterios listened.

One hand holding the sweet treat, and the other holding up his cheek, he gazed lovingly upon your excited expressions as you continued to talk.

He wondered back to when you two were kids; it was exactly like this.

You talked, and he listened.

"Our professor was insanely strict, and almost a fourth of our class dropped out. And then we found out that..."

He loved how you talked to him like he was your girlfriend. No fake politeness, no fronts, just you.

A soft smile upon his gorgeous face, you just realized how much you talked, "I- I'm sorry, I just talked your ear off..." Your shoulders tensed nervously, hoping your boss wouldn't mind.
