SLEEP-BRINGER.

Pasithea: Wait — did you just flirt with me?

Hypnos: Have been for the past year but thanks for noticing.

Sleep tries to seduce me by promising a more reasonable tomorrow.

       ❝ This has to be the first time you’ve ever sounded as pessimistic as HIM, ❞ and it couldn’t help but humor her, knowing how different they always were. ❝ Come on, he’s literally obsessed with you — more than me even, if possible. ❞ His head was welcomed, prompting fingers to idly toy with ruffled locks. These moments would most likely change in the nearest future, which made her want to savor them as much as possible; them, just talking and indulging in each other’s humble presence was how everything started, after all. ❝ His pride will serve him no good, I’m sure he’ll come to a similar conclusion. ❞ Whatever excuse Thana might construct when crawling back to his dearest brother, it would hardly matter what had him regretting his own petulance — moving forward would be his ONLY choice.

            ❝ ONE DAY, PERHAPS, but will it be soon?  Not at all. ❞  Hypnos feared the amount of time that would pass without his brother at his side, even if years were like minutes to the gods; they’d always been an INSEPARABLE pair, since their conception, and now it was like having half of himself ripped away, leaving the edges of his soul sharp and rigid and begging for REPARATION. Still, he had her, a bright light to break through the darkness that sought to drape him in its somber veil — she softened him, helped to fill in the missing pieces. Sweet Pasithea — Did she know her love was a cure, the only ANTIDOTE to mend his poisoned heart?

            Sighing, fingers clutching her shirt tightly, wistful musing shattered the silence,  ❝ Will you STAY with me for eternity?  Or will you get sick of me? — Now I really DO sound like him… He’d be impressed. ❞

            ❝   Sleep, you are lord of all the blessed gods and mortal men, and of every living creature the broad earth nurtures, for you alone are master of all and you visit all, binding their bodies with fetters unforged. You free us of cares, and, offering sweet respite from toil, you grant holy solace to our every sorrow. You save souls by easing them into the thought of death, since to Death and Oblivion you are a true brother.   ❞

When your heart is sad, sometimes the only appealing thing left is sleep.

           ❝ Maybe you two deserve each other after all. ❞  To witness his twin become so enamored at first sight is enough to summon a relinquished sigh, the mouth of his bottle meeting his lips on cue.  ❝ Don’t you think I’ve learned how much of a prying family we are? If something happened between you and Pas, would you really come talk to me about it? ❞  Whether his point was proven or not, Thana leaned back in his seat in silent reverie; truth was, there was not much he had to say about anything, unsure what to make of his own reaction.

            ❝ DEFINITELY, although you’d probably just tell me to get divorced… ❞  What better solution than to free himself of that ‘MISERABLE HARPY,’ right?  He could see the vision clear as day, hear the words coming straight out of his brother’s mouth, riddled with cynical bias. Absolutely predictable. Sighing, Hypnos maneuvered LANGUIDLY and plopped himself next to Thanatos’ side.  ❝ Whether you want to talk or not, I hope you’re alright and I’m here if you need me — like always. ❞  A perpetual pillar of SUPPORT, one that would never break or fall.  ❝ Just wanted to remind you, in case you forgot. ❞

            EYES WIDE, HEART RACING, the young deity took several minutes to calm his erratic nerves before he could answer with clarity, voice remaining PANIC-STRICKEN despite the comfort found in her arms.  ❝ Μαμά, ❞  Hypnos began, head turned to look past white wings, wondering how long he had before a mighty bolt ZAPPED him into dust,  ❝ He’s coming for me — the king of the gods. At Hera’s behest, I lulled him to sleep… I didn’t think he would ever find out it was my doing. She promised me so many GIFTS, but no immunity to Zeus’ wrath. I’m… I’m so sorry for being naïve. ❞

           ❝ You’re wasting your time. ❞  How ceremonial of him to believe anything else as of now; Thana rarely spoke of his relations to anyone, yet Hypnos refused to take his word for it. Perhaps that was why he shied away from the pressure to begin with. ❝ I’m keeping him for now, yeah. I’ve yet to come up with a permanent solution — I’d leave him with you in Cimmeria if it wasn’t for him being stupid enough to end up in the Lethe at some point. ❞ 

            ❝ I have nothing else to do — And if you think about it, when you’re immortal… that’s impossible. ❞  Shrugging nonchalantly, he knelt down to pet the dejected pup; not even a gentle touch could cheer him up, like he knew what events had taken place. Poor thing.  ❝ Well, we wouldn’t want that to happen, now would we? ❞  Hypnos cooed, scratching Taphos behind his rounded ears, leaning over to press his temple to the canine’s forehead.  ❝ Don’t get rid of him, Thana. You’d end up regretting the choice. ❞  How could he dream of parting with something so adorable?  

            ❝ — So… are you really, honestly doing alright?  I know you’re… you, all proud and hardened, but come on; if you want to put up a front to other people, fine, I get that, it’s just… you know you can tell me anything. ❞

                    ❝ YOU were close to her — I’d reckon that’s a very good reason. ❞  Intuition arose from their unique bond, Hypnos abundantly aware of his brother’s desire for solitude; he could hear it in Thanatos’ voice, see it in dismissive motion, but wasn’t so quick to abandon him just yet, not when he thought there was more to the presented apathy.  ❝ Morpheus hasn’t left his room in days and he didn’t nearly spend as much time with her as you did. Plus, you kept her dog. ❞  A hand gestured to the mopey corgi curled up on a cushion set on the dark floor as if to say ‘How do you explain that?’

Sometimes you just need a good weep and a good sleep.

Not death, but his brother, sleep.

    “ I HAVE NO DOUBTS about that, dearest Hypnos. ”  It amuses her to think of Thanatos as kind. He may have been the god of peaceful death but it was a little strange to think of the perpetually crotchety being as kind.  “ I can’t imagine Thanatos being more than polite, actually. But I will take your word for it. ”

      ❝ IT’S a side he rarely shows — very few have been able to witness it, and some never will. But, my Queen, I do believe YOU could coax it out of him. ❞  As for her husband, he more than likely fell into the second category; if anyone could be the president of the ANTI-HADES CLUB, it was Thanatos. Being painted in the green of envy didn’t exactly do wonders for the drearier twin, but Hypnos could understand his acrimony.  ❝ It’d definitely be easier if he were several thousand years YOUNGER… and if I weren’t married. ❞
