I don't need no light to see you SHINE

TWs: Torture, lying, non-con body modification/touching, and implied masochism. Stay safe :)

Life is constantly fleeting. Draining. It drags and pulls you down until you can no longer move.

"How does it feel, Helios...?"

Life hurts you in more ways than one. It rips you in half and tears you apart limb from limb.

"Do you enjoy making others suffer...?"

Helios had found himself used to the feeling of pain. He also found himself liking it, wanting more each time. Both Celestial entities were similar in that regard; the pain fueled them. It made him sick to his core of how similar he was to It.

"How you're being torn from the inside out... do you enjoy it?"

Helios held back a gasp as he felt sharp edges piercing into him. His eyes widened, watching the world around him with stars in his vision.

It held him tighter, "You fail to realize what I am capable of..."

Helios felt burning tears pricking his eyes. He squirmed in its grasp, trying to break free.

"Allow me to show you."

"Augh-!" The dwarf star yelled, eyes rolling to the back of his head as a loud hissing was heard. Everything faded to black despite his senses screaming at him to stay awake.

Sun laughed off the other's comment, "Hahaha, I have no idea what you're talking about, Nine!"

Nine raised an eyebrow, "So a black hole isn't going to destroy our home?"

"Yes," Sun nodded before his eyes widened as he quickly realized what he said, "Wait- I mean, no!"

'Gotcha...' Nine smirked, crossing his arms.

Sun glared at the Celestial, "Nibiru-!"

Nine raised a finger, "Ah-ah-ah, you can't get mad at me when you're the one keeping this from everyone else, but I would like an explanation..."

Sun growled, "Is this your way of getting me back, Nibiru? All those times that I tortured you and the others..."

"Has it all led up to this? I dunno. I'll leave it for you to decide." Nine shrugged, "But if you don't tell me, then I'll end up telling Neptune, who we both know will blab to everyone else."

Sun eyed him with a piercing stare. He sighed, scowling, "I hate that you're right."

"I always am."

"I'll tell you, but don't even think about telling the others," Sun uttered.

"I wouldn't dream of it." Nine placed a hand over his chest.

'I'm going to regret this...' The Guardian huffed, "First things first, Sagittarius A* is not to be taken lightly."

"Oh, I know- I was just wondering if you were working with him."

"'With'...? Hehah, teamwork is not a thing when it comes to black holes... they don't take 'no' for an answer." Sun grinned before humming, "Wait, you know? How would you know what Sagittarius A* is like...?"

Nine didn't respond, his eyes pointedly looking away.

Sun furrowed his eyebrows, "You know it..."

"It was only one time." Nine uttered, "And I'll never forget it for the rest of my existence..."

"What did it make you do? It wouldn't approach a planet unless it were desperate."
