Chapter Text
Sol floats in his place staring into the dark (so alone). “I won’t be like this forever,” Sol muttered to himself, turning to one of the rocks forming a little ways away. (A little planet all his to care for, his to protect, his to befriend, ḥ̸̉i̷̤͔̜͉̿̄s̴͓̻͖̒̈́͘ ̸̤̳̺͔̽t̵̛̺͋̐o̷̮̎͒̚ ̴͚̊̉̐ḱ̵͔̏̚e̶̝̰͙̗͐̇e̵͍̯͖̯͋̄͂̃p̸͖̪̈͗). Sol is so excited for them to wake up, for them to hear the names Sol picked for them, and to meet the other stars.

==================================================================
A soft coo behind Sol draws his attention, turning carefully not to disturb the forming rocks. A planet floats there staring (One was awake!) “a planet, my first planet!” Sol squealed, scooping the baby planet up in his hand (his first planet! So small and perfect with their puffy hair, orangey surface, and big eyes). The planet starts to tremble, but Sol doesn’t notice too fixated on the fact that he has a planet until the planet starts to cry. The cry rings through space, snapping Sol out of his excitement.(Is that my planet?), Sol starts to panic (no no no no my only planet is scared of me).
“Hey hey, it’s ok little one don’t cry” Sol tried to keep his voice as soft as possible, gently brushing the planet's hair with his finger (please calm down). The young planet stutters for a second and the fear changes to wonder. Sol holds his hand still as the planet reaches up grabbing his finger babbling happily. (they are so cute but they haven't spoken please Sagittarius A* let nothing be wrong) “I guess you can’t talk yet that's ok I have a name picked out for you already” Sol wispered as he lifts the baby planet close to his face “your name will be Jupiter” Sol boops Jupiter on the head as he names them making the planet giggle uncontrollably. Sol smiles at them (his perfect planet deserves a perfect star) and as Jupiter starts to fall asleep in his hand Sol makes a silent promise to be just that.
==================================================================
Jupiter was refusing to go back to their orbit screaming any time Sol tried to put them back. (What should he do) Sol wondered staring at the planet clinging to his hand (he need to get used to his orbit ṣ̶͗ͅǫ̷͂͜ ̵̰͕̹͓̒ẖ̶̘̹́̈́̕e̶̳͇̺̒͌̈́͜ ̴̤͗n̴̹̚e̸̛̜͐̎v̵̧̖͕́͘ė̶̞̟̙͑͌r̶̗̩̋̀ ̶̧̼͉̜̏l̷̺͒̏̎̀e̶͎̩̮̳͑̇͘a̷̳̚v̷̼̕ḛ̷̏̌̀s̶̮̭̃ ̷̮͉̩̗̀̅ḯ̸̘̿̎t̴͉̕). “Jupiter” Sol tries to stop his face from melting into a smile at the curious look Jupiter gives him “you need to go to your orbit”. Jupiter's eyes start to tear up (why was he so weak to his planet’s pouty face) Jupiter starts to sob “no orbit no” clinging tighter to his hand. (Why can’t he ever be strict to Jupiter) “ok Jupiter we will just braid your hair” Sol sighs as Jupiter perks up tears drying quickly “Yay!’ Jupiter yelled.
“But you will go to your orbit eventually” but Jupiter was not paying attention, tuning around so that Sol could brush his hair (he has no clue why Jupiter loves Sol brushing his hair so much). “I think another planet will wake up soon Jupiter, maybe they will be a gas giant like you” Sol told Jupiter as he ran his hand through Jupiter's tangled hair. “Nother friend?” Jupiter said excitedly (aww his planet was so excited for new friend) “yes Jupiter someone else for us to talk to” Sol said smiling.
==================================================================
“Hey hey” Sol opens his eyes to Jupiter poking him, jumping slightly at the fact Jupiter was floating right up in his face. “Jupiter why are you awake?” Sol asked (was something wrong with him). “Pulling, like you do” Jupiter said tapping his chest “pulling like another gravity” Sol questioned instantly awake (had another planet formed) “yes over there” Jupiter pointed to a spot just over Sol’s shoulder. Sol turned to where Jupiter was pointing, quickly spotting the new baby planet. (Another planet he had two now!) pulling the little planet close they were far quieter than Jupiter simply blinking up at him.
“They're small” Jupiter grumbled, wrinkling his nose, “how they play with me if they're small”. “You were this small when you formed Jupiter” Sol giggled (they were both so cute). “What will their name be?” Jupiter asks Sol hums looking at them “Saturn that will be their name”. “Can I hold them please” Jupiter beged Sol gently hands Saturn over (h̵̡̼̦̞͛͊͘ẻ̸͈͝ ̶̛̭̥̓d̷̪̖̜̭̈́́̈́͘i̷̡̝̾͝ḑ̴̠̣̄͑͗n̵͙͝'̴̜̃t̵͍͛̋̄ ̵̦͚͎͙̂̾̈́͠ẉ̵̻̫̙̓͆̏a̷͚̦̗͔̔̀n̶̬̳͗́t̵͇͛̐ ̵͖̃ț̸̟͋̾͘ơ̸̡͓͛̽͘)Jupiter held Saturn close “we are going to be best frends” Jupiter whispered. Saturn giggled the first sound either of them heard from the baby (his two planets so cute he wants to hold them close, braid their hair, and never let them be sad)
==================================================================
Sol was watching the still forming rocky planets, almost 15 of them suddenly CRASH!! (NO not again please). Sol turned, seeing the crushed bits to the two poor planets “No no why does this keep happening” Sol yelled and felt tears prick at his eyes. “Sol is there any thing I can” (ẅ̴̛̮̪͎́͘h̸͚̍̅ỵ̵̨̺̎ ̸̝̬̅į̷̜̀͌ŝ̵̜͌ ̷̡̺̓̃̓ḩ̵̖̾̑e̷̯̒ͅ ̵̡͙̭͗̄̊o̵͕͆͜ư̴̢̙͔̊̅ṱ̵̩̬́̾̕ ̶͔͊̀ö̵̢̜̹́̔f̸̨̿̚ ̸͓̳̤̃ḣ̸̡̿͆î̴͎̼͈ş̴̼͓̋̀ ̴͚͗̿͘o̸̼̣͔͂̕̚ṛ̴̢̩́̒̅b̵͔̀̀̂͜ḯ̵͔͕͠t̶̤̗͈̄̄) “NO” Sol lashes out “N̸O̴ ̵J̵U̸S̷T̷ ̷G̶E̶T̶ ̶B̷A̸C̵K̵ ̷T̵O̶ ̵Y̵O̵U̴R̸ ̶O̷R̶B̷I̶T̶”. Jupiter’s eyes widen and he flies back to his orbit as fast as he can.(Why did he do that?) Sol curls in on himself.
(I lost planets and yelled at the ones I have I’m a bad star) “maybe I can apologize" Sol whispered to himself. “Jupiter can you come here please” Sol said softly trying to keep his voice from trembling. “Yes Sol” Jupiter said floating over slowly (Jupiter was scared of him why why did he yell). “I wanted to apologize to you, I shouldn't have yelled at you, it was not your fault and I’m sorry" Sol said, tearing up. “It’s ok,” Jupiter said, hugging Sol. Sol hugs him back (he doesn’t hate me, I have to be better).
==================================================================
“Soool” Sol turned from the laurels he was making to see Saturn and Jupiter flouting a little way away. “What's wrong guys, what are you holding?” squinting at the bundle Saturn was holding (Did they find a shiny asteroid or something?). “Pull” Saturn said lifting the bundle to him “Saturn means we found another planet” Jupiter elaborates. Sol leaned over to look at the bundle, blue eyes blinked up at him (eeee another little planet).
Sol lifts the planet close “your name will be Erebus little one”. “Where did you two find them?” Sol turns back to Saturn and Jupiter “out by me” Saturn chirped. “Oh I have something for you” reaching into his pocket for the second laurels, nestling one in Jupiter’s hair and the other one in Saturn. (Now he has to make one for Erebus so they all match). “Thank you Sol” Jupiter said tapping the laurels “Thanks Thanks” Saturn nods excitedly. Sol beams happy his planets liked his gift.
