Dandy's World Stuff (Mostly One-Shots) (Hiatus)

Sunset (Fluffyshrimp)

A/N: This is an allegory for being a lesser known and often considered invalid sexuality. It's not really about the sunset. I just got discriminated against and wanted to write smth to get it out. It was either this or blood wrenching angst so take ya pick /silly

Also: No Goob isn't homophobic here. He's genuinely asking these questions with the intent to learn more. He's well meaning! He's also not based on my Boyfriend. My bf was always supportive and beautiful and amazing and gorgeous and perfect and

I forgot what I was saying /j /silly

This is horrifically short but idgaf))

Shrimpo always liked the Sunset.

It was harder to catch than the Sunrise. Since Shrimpo was always an early bird.

But the Sunrise wasn't the same to him.

It didn't have those dazzling rays of purple

Or that beautiful shade of pink.

It just wasn't the same.

He remembered some passing comments about it.

Mostly Toons asking why he didn't just catch the Sunrise.

He would leave the Museum as the sun was setting. Usually incredibly groggy and on the verge of falling asleep.

But the Sunrise wasn't the same.

Lord knows he wished it was. It would be so much easier on him.

On everyone.

But it just wasn't.

It'd never be the same to him.

~~~

It was just another night. Watching the Sunset.

As the sun hit the horizon. Those beautiful purple, orange and pink hues scattered across the sky. Making a gorgeous show.

One that felt hopeful, beautiful, magical, almost.

As the sun continued shutting. Those gorgeous hues slowly faded to darkness.

But before the show was fully over. Dandy heard the squeak of someone sitting on the bench beside him.

He glanced over. And saw Goob. He looked tired.

"Hey..." Goob smiled at him. "Hey."

Shrimpo leaned against Goob subconsciously. "Whatcha doing out here?"

Goob yawned before replying. "I wanted to watch the Sunset with you. You never care to catch the Sunrise with me."

Shrimpo's tail flicked. "It isn't the same."

"How so? They seem the same to me."

'The Sunrise and the Sunset are the same thing. Stop pretending they're different.'

Shrimpo growled under his breath. He was used to hearing that line. But not from Goob.

Shrimpo glared at him. "I thought of all people you'd be the last to say that to me."

Goobs tail and ears perked up "Wh- Wait! I didn't mean it like that!"

Shrimpo stood up. "Uh-huh. Sure." His tail drooping as he started walking off.

Goob stood up and followed behind "Shrimpo! Wait! I'm sorry!"

He stopped him. Putting a hand on his shoulder. "I swear I wasn't trying to be mean! I was genuinely asking!"

Shrimpo looked back at Goob. He had sincerity in his eyes.

Shrimpo sighed "S... Sorry... I just... I'm used to having to assume the worst when people talk like that."

Goob smiled. "It's fine. If you don't mind me asking, how are they different to you? I've always thought they looked the same. But I really want to see your point of view."

Shrimpo thought. "Well... The Sunset has more purple in it. For starters. The colors are more vibrant too. And the colors are spread a lot more beautifully."

Goob thought. "Hey, could I maybe see it with you tomorrow?"

Shrimpo smiled. His tail wagging a bit. Happy Goob was genuinely putting in the effort to understand.

"Of course."

~~~

Shrimpo had Goob's hand. Leading him out of Gardenview and out of the Subway.

As they walked up the stairs, Goob could catch a glance of the sky. It was pink and purple.

Upon arriving outside. They sat on the bench and watched the sunset.

Goob looked up at the sky. The beautiful shades of purple and pink dipping into the orange sky.

Goob looked over at Shrimpo. The purple and pink hitting his eyes made them sparkle and glow like he had never seen.

It never looked like his eyes glew in the sunrise's light.

It hit him.

Why it was different.

He turned his attention back to the sky. Though it was hard to keep his eyes off Shrimpo.

When the sun finally dipped below the horizon. And those beautiful, vibrant hues turned dark and muddled. Shrimpo stood up.

Goob stood up too. Following behind him.

Goob smiled. "I think I get it now."

A/N: Hey wowie exclusive A/N for Wattpad because AO3 is homophobic /hj
This is about being a Lesboy specifically (Hence the Sunset being compared to the Sunrise (Being a lesbian) constantly)))
