Summary
“There. We’ve decorated.” He said plainly.
Stelle gasped in mock offense, staring around the room wildly. “One decoration is not a complete décor! You have to pick something else.”
“Alright then.” He said. The next least-offensive thing he could find was the little vial of particles. He picked it up, and placed it next to the statue. “One more thing.”
Stelle shook her head. “Who knew you could be so cheeky.”
Sunday becomes part of the family, one piece at a time.
(or, 5 times Sunday bonded with a member of the astral express, and one time he bonded with someone outside of it.)
(now with art!)

Summary
“It just… gets harder this time of year. I’ll be fine.” He said. When it was clear Aventurine would not say more, Sunday shifted his hands to hold Aventurine’s face, tracing over his cheek with one thumb.
“Tell me more.” He said.
“It’s-” Aventurine began to say, and then his eyes met Sunday’s. His expression broke a little, and he tried to turn away. Sunday didn’t let him, though he didn’t force him to stay either. A gentle pressure, urging, asking him to stay, and Aventurine acquiesced. “My birthday’s… tomorrow.” He said.
On Aventurine's birthday, old memories press down upon him, leaving him grieving and exhausted. Sunday takes it upon himself to take care of him, refusing to let him spend the day alone. A week later, Aventurine easily returns the favor.

Summary
He could still feel his stomach twisting with hunger, protesting how little he’d had to eat today. The feeling was uncomfortably reminiscent of the past- when starvation drove him to the brink, going days without food.
He needed a distraction.
“If I promise to call you when I’m having a bad time, will you return the favor?”
The memory echoed in his mind, something of a light in the darkness. Suddenly, he found himself desperately craving the presence of his boyfriend. Even if just over a call, Sunday’s smooth voice would be a wonderful distraction right now.
When Aventurine and Sunday both find themselves in need of comfort, they each remember the promise they made to call each other for comfort and help. Following through, they find it's not so bad going through tough times when you have someone else's voice to guide you through it.
