Equus looked between both of his friends nervously. He had never expected them both to actually like him, much less than confess their feelings to him. The sun looked at him expectantly, her whole body burning brightly, partly in hope but mostly in fear of rejection. The moon or Lua as she had recently started making him call her, just sat their in silence, too scared to make any further comment.
It kind of made sense now that he thought about it. It would explain why they were always hanging around him but it only made things more difficult. They were his friends. How could he love them like... that. To top it off he already liked another planet so he would have to not only reject both of his friends feeling but reveal his own feelings in order to explain his choice. It was at times like this he wished the universe hadn't decided to create the asteroid that he evolved from. This was going to be awkward.
"Um, girls, I don't really know how to tell you this." He swallowed nervously. There was no way this was going to end well. "I kinda like someone."
"...Someone else?" The moon shuddered. If she had eyes they would have been tears. "Who?"
"Seda Ina Hivasa" Equus sighed. "We've been talking for a while and I was thinking of asking her-"
"That hussy!?" The sun screamed. "Why her?! She hasn't done anything for you. I've been here for you since the beginning. I've kept you warm for centuries. Without me you would be covered in ice!" She roared, her surface growing brighter as her flames grew in power. Already he could feel the water on his surface begin to steam.
"You don't have to be jealous, Sun." Equus attempted to calm her down. "I've known her for a long time. If you just talk to her you'll see that she's a nice planet."
"Oh, I bet you think she's nice!" She yelled. "She probably lets you see all of her mountains up close. Is that why you like her, huh!? Maybe if I showed more you would like me." The sun grew unstable, spewing fire at passing comets, reducing them to ash. "Is that it?!"
"No, it's nothing like that." Equus realized he'd messed up. He turned to the moon for help but she'd backed away from him, sulking a few thousand extra hundred kilometers away. "We just have a lot in common, that's all."
"You want to be with here, huh? You don't care if you hurt Lua or I?! Well screw you!" The sun screamed. "You can be with her in hell!"
With that the sun exploded, engulfing the solar system in a torrent of rage and fire. Across the galaxy many other planets saw the commotion and one planet in particular made note of the situation. He would definitely have to make sure the sun and his crush were friends before revealing his feelings.
Another planet took another message from their argument. Screw love, he wanted to live. If his sun wanted to date him, so be it, she could have him. Anything to avoid being burnt to a crisp. Especially when the star he orbited was a hypergiant that could destroy not only his solar system but probably most of the neighboring ones as well. Screw that.
