Love me, Love me not? (A AstroXDandy Fanfic)

SHORT #1: Finn

TW: MILD VIOLENCE AND GORE

DANDY'S POV

I was going to Delilah's house. Luckily, i didn't forget its location. Hope she didn't move out or something...
She's the one who made the Ichor in the first place, and made us. She had the answers i was looking for.
Our relationship broke quite a lot over time... Hope she'll let me in.

I knocked on her door, hoping that she wasn't asleep this late. Luckily, the door opened and a familiar voice spoke to me:

"Who's the...- Dandy?!" She exclaimed.

"Uh.... Yeah. I... I have questions." I said while avoiding her gaze. She only knew me when i was a tape addicted beast. Hopefully i can prove that I've changed.

"Come... In..." She said hesitantly.

It sure was awkward seeing her after such a long time. Her house was warm and inviting, just as i remember it. When i was created, before she sent me to Gardenview, we hung out together and she got to know me. We drank hot chocolate with marshmallows during winters and got lemonade and ice cream in summer. Ever since i went to Gardenview and we broke contact, all Delilah ever heard of me was bad news about my behavior from Arthur.

She invited me to sit on a couch next to her in front of the lit fireplace.

"So... You may have heard... Gardenview burnt down." I said, not really knowing where to begin.

"Yeah... I've heard so." She spoke silently.

"And the Ichor got exorcised. We can't use it anymore. We also lost Finn forever because of this." I explained.

"...Finn? Oh no..."

"First of all... Is there any way to fix it?"

"I think i could try producing more Ichor, and maybe recreate him. However it can take a few hours."

"That's fine by me! I'm so glad i came to the right person." I said happily, feeling more comfortable.

"While i do this, why won't you tell me a little about how it's going for you? You seem different." Asked Delilah.

"Oh... Well..." I stuttered.

"Do you still twist into a beast of unimaginable horror and strike fear into my poor Toons?" She said coldly, not even looking at me.

I sighed. Her concern was valid.

"I know that was wrong. Now I can't do it anymore, even if i want to. I'd never do it to harm anybody anymore though." I spoke silently.

"Oh... You really have changed, if this isn't all your gaslighting... How's it going with Astro? Still fooling him into trusting you while you hurt all of his friends?"

I felt angry. Not at Delilah, but at myself, because i knew all she said about me was true. At least for my past self.

"No. I've grown as a person. I'd never fool him anymore. He knows everything i do and did now. I told him everything." I spoke with as much honesty as i could.

"Hm. Good. It's interesting how you managed to fix yourself from going insane though. How many gallons of Ichor have you drank again?"

"Too many to count... Hah. I prefer ice cream now." I sat next to Delilah while she continued to crank the ichor-making machine.

We talked for hours, feeling nice to catch up with Delilah. Seeing her proud of my evolution meant a lot to me.
After a while, Delilah stopped.

"I have good news and... Interpretable news."
