all the blonde could remember was the feeling of alcohol burning her throat  &  a lot of it.  a lot more than usual. a lot more than she knew she could handle.  but she just needed something, anything, to NUMB the pain she was feeling.  faith had gone into that bar with full intent to get absolutely slaughtered.  & she did.  well, she presumed she did.  as she woke up with a mouth as dry as the desert & it sure as hell felt like a hammer was banging on the inside of her head. faith daren’t even open her eyes yet.  so there she lay, for a few moments, grumbling to herself about how she’d never drink again.  ( a lie, of course.  )  slowly & followed by a  s h a r p pain in her eyes, eyelids fluttered open — which only led to a very confused faith.  this    wasn’t   her apartment. oh god, did she really end up sleeping with someone  ?  so soon  ?   &  she didn’t even remember it  ?  she   needed   to get out of here.  with a grimace, she pulls herself away from the comfort of the strange bed, padding out of the bed room ;  a yelp leaving her lips as she’s met with (  she’s pretty sure  )  the bar tender from the bar.  “  oh my god.  “   she utters to herself.  “  you made me breakfast  ?   “  the blonde is rather confused — is there a reason a stranger is being so kind to her  ?  god only knows, but she’ll take it.  a sigh of relief leaves her lips as she hears they hadn’t slept together.   “    well, uh, thank you. for that. that’s awfully kind of you.  sorry about well — uh,  being a mess. to be honest, i can barely remember, well, anything — i’m faith.   “

            as the other speaks, he can tell she was just now feeling the effects from the night before. “well, good morning, faith.” he says once again, offering an understanding smile. “no need to apologize. i’ve seen you around a few times, and you’ve been nothing but kind to me in the minimal interactions we’ve shared so i figured it was the least i could do.” he’s standing from his seat at the small kitchen table to discard his dish into the sink, hoping not to make too much noise as the others’ head may just be pounding. “can i get you anything, though? like something for your head?” he leans himself against the counter, arms crossing over his chest. “i’m off today so you don’t have to go any time soon. just until you’re feeling better.” zeus wouldn’t normally exhibit such kindness but he felt as though the girl wouldn’t have drank her weight in alcohol if there wasn’t something she’d really wanted to forget. and he’s definitely been there, done that. “i can run you a shower, too, if you’d like. there’s probably a change of clothes here you could fit into. my sister leaves stuff here constantly.” his eyes roll at the thought, knowing hera had the tendency to take the phrase mi casa es tu casa a little too seriously.

       soft giggles pass between her petals as kisses are peppered along her jaw, pulling him even closer to her. a delighted sigh soon followed, gazing up at apollo as he spoke to her. if she had never met this boy, she for sure would have never gained the confidence to take a different path in her life. she would be shopping for wedding dresses with her callous family members — absolutely miserable with a bleak future with her arranged husband. iris would do anything to gain the confidence and freedom he gave her the day they met. even if it means running away from her comfortable lifestyle to go from quaint motel to the next around the country with him. the brunette gladly reciprocated the kisses on her lips, about to lean in for a third before she realized she had to answer him. pearly whites nibbled down on her bottom lip as she mused. “ hm, ” she began brushing her fingertips along his bicep, “ i don’t know, yet … do you have any ideas ? i’m just hungry. ”

         when she asks if he had any ideas, the male offers her a large grin. “the stars,” he muses, leaning his head to press a kiss against the hand trailing against his arm. “i’d take you there, so the plants and meteors and the stars and all the other crap up there could revolve around you.” he’s taking ahold of her hand, pressing her palm against his lips. “we should feed you then, huh?” reluctantly, he’s slipping away from her frame, standing onto his feet to survey the motel room. they hadn’t made too much of a mess, considering they were only planning on staying a day or two. he finally finds the t-shirt he’d discarded the night before, pulling it on before he’s turning. “that diner next door seems decent. and i could really go for some pancakes. how’s that sound?” the motel they’d chosen to stay at was right in the heart of the city, surrounded by shops and restaurants. as much as apollo loved his silences, he didn’t mind the hustle and bustle of the city.

      he could already tell that his back will be killing him by the time he begins his shift; however, it was worth it now that he met hestia. with a charmed tilt of his head, ben couldn’t help but keep a tired smile on his countenance. “ oh, when ya’ mention that — definitely both, ” he answered with a tsk. “ i’m a part-time firefighter. i had the late shift and didn’t get off ‘till five this mornin’, ” he explained to the blonde, his fingers playing with the zipper of his bomber jacket. “ you like energy drinks ?  i can see coffee, but really ? i’ve tried ‘em, but all they do is get me jittery. ” he added, crinkling his nose. 

            the blonde was captivated by each quirk of his lips as he’s offering her a smile. when he begins to speak of his part time fire fighting job, a hand splays out over her heart. “that’s amazing! requires real discipline, it sounds like. five am is rough.” at his question, she’s nodding. the life of a nurse was nothing but non-stop running around like a chicken without it’s head. it was only right that she’d need a constant kick of caffeine to keep her going. “they get me like that sometimes, too, but they definitely do the job. i think i acquired a taste for them back in college when we were mixing red bull with jäger.” laughing at the memory, she shakes her head. “but now that i’m somewhat of a medical professional, i know that is super dangerous. so i leave the jäger at home.”

it’s odd, she finds herself thinking, to see athena in such a vulnerable state. nadia’s never seen her like this. in fact, she was certain that the other girl would do just fine without her. “ athena.. ” she starts, but is unable to find the words that match how she’s feeling. her hands move to open the door a bit wider. “ here, why don’t you come in ?? –i don’t wanna wake the neighbors. ” it’s just an excuse, she couldn’t give two shits about how her neighbors were feeling. in fact, all she could seem to care about at the moment was standing right in front of her.

as the door is opening up a bit wider before her, there’s a drop in the pit of her stomach. she was somewhat on edge, unsure of how to deal with her feelings so she was overthinking just about everything. she’s only offering the other a nod before stepping into the familiar apartment, eyes darting around the room as if to see if anything has changed. “i know it’s late, and i know this is out of the blue but i can’t stop thinking about it. about you. us.” she was aware that she was rambling but she could care less. “i’m not used to feeling like this.” it’s probably an obvious fact but she didn’t know where else to start. “and i can’t say i’m a fan of it.”

         once the tension had dissipated throughout the bus and the blonde placed herself in his former seat, benjamin sat on the chair beside her. he couldn’t help but keep smirking at her because her coy disposition was cute. “ no worries, ” he responded, extending his hand out to shake her petite one. he tried not to react on how soft her hand was encased around his calloused hand. “ ben, ” he introduced with a nod, placing his now tingly hand on his lap. the australian wasn’t usually like this — jittery around an alluring woman. benjamin chuckled at her statement, shaking his head side to side. “ i’m usually ace in the mornings, ” he corrected, leaning back on the plastic. “ i’ve just had a long night. i barely got any shut eye. ”

       hestia offers the male a nod when he mentions he hadn’t got much sleep the night before. “ah, yeah, that’ll get you. lack of sleep changes people.” her eyes widen, feigning a serious tone that the statement. “most nights are like that for me but i’m lucky enough to literally run on energy drinks and coffee. it’s rare to see me without a cup of coffee in hand.” she rests her head atop her hand as she watches him sit back on the tiny bus seat. he seemed like a total fish out of water in the sea of people, the sight bringing a warm grin to her lips. “so, did you just work late or are you one of the many with an overactive mind just before bed?” she asks, genuinely curious. she doesn’t know why, but she felt compelled to get to know more about him. as if the incident with the angry woman before was some kind of sign that she should be speaking to him.

       her smile shifts wider into an admiring grin when apollo kissed her palm, drowsy giggles passing between her brims. “ i love you, ” iris responded, her hand slipping off his features to rub the sleepiness away from her eyes as he drew closer. the brunette pouted at his words, draping her arms over his shoulders as her fingers threaded through his locks. “ but, i really enjoy watching the sunrise with you. you should have woke me up ! ” the aesthete protested, turning her head to take a glimpse at the glass doors that led to the balcony. she released a sigh, green hues gazing back up at him. “ i still love you, though. ”

         the feeling of her fingers tangling in his hair is enough to elicit a soft groan from the male. it was his favorite feeling of all, nearly melting into her grip and purring like a kitten each time she did it. his lips press haphazardly placed kisses against her jaw and neck at she speaks. “i’ll make note of that for next time, i promise.” his gaze follows hers to the sliding doors that lead to their tiny balcony. this was their temporary home, and they wouldn’t stop hopping from one to another until they found a place they were happiest. eyes shift to meet hers once again before there’s a hand gripping the side of her face, thumb dragging along her jaw before he meets her lips in a kiss. “good.” one more kiss. “where do you want to go next? any place catch your eye?”

nadia’s wide awake, which is out of the ordinary for a girl who likes her strict schedule. she’s too stubborn to admit to herself the reason why she cannot sleep. her stubbornness has always been a problem. hell, it was probably one of the reasons why her and athena had broken up in the first place. she was too prideful, however, to admit that any of their issues were her fault. she’s mid painting her toes out of pure boredom when her phone rings. her gaze moves from her foot to her iphone, eyes widening at the sight of her ex’s name on the screen. the brunette hesitates for a moment, and before she even realizes it, she’s answering the call. nadia has no chance to say anything as athena had already spoken first. “ –you’re what ?? ” she stammers, slipping off of her bed to make her way through her luxurious loft. she swings the door open to see athena standing there. she knew that athena said she was there, but still felt shocked. her fingers struggle to hang up the phone. “ what.. what are you doing here ?? ”

if her teeth sunk into her bottom lip any harder, she’d be drawing blood. standing before nadia made athena feel the best she has since they decided to end things. weakness wasn’t something she ever felt, but since the two called it quits it is all she had been feeling. it scared her, truthfully, that her happiness had slowly shifted from a sensation to the presence of another. “i had to see you.” the words leave the goddesses lips barely above a whisper as her gaze meets the floor. “i want it to be like it was before.” she simultaneously felt vulnerable, but also as though she was getting a huge weight lifted from her chest.

ever since she had met apollo on that faithful night at the art festival, her life had done an 180. her life had been mundane and predictable; the arranged marriage her family had planned was looming throughout her whole life. iris wanted an escape — and he was that for her … and even more. the girl loved him with every fiber of her being. he brought out the best of her. the independent, creative iris that she has always wanted to be. now that she was practically free from the clutches of forced marriage and strict parentage, she was now by apollo’s side, running away from her opposing fate. her slumber was disrupted as she felt a dip in the mattress beside her. a sleepy smile curled on her roseate brims as she felt his fingertips caress through her hair and his soft lips press against her head. heavy lids struggled to open, rolling onto her back as she gazed up at her lover. “ you love me even with my morning breath ? ” she chirped with a quiet timbre, slipping one of her hands out from underneath the sheets to reach up and cup his cheek. 

        when the other finally awakens there’s a wide grin that forms to the males lips. every waking moment he spend with iris was one he wouldn’t trade for anything in the world. she’d been his muse since the moment he met her, and from there on in he was sure they were meant to be together. when she holds his face in her hands, he’s turning his head slightly to press light kisses against one of her palms. “morning breath, bed head, i’ll always love you.” his words were sealed with one more kiss to her palm before he’s wrapping an arm around her petite frame. “you missed a really good sunrise this morning.” the artist informs her, fingertips scaling down the side of her body as if he’d been painting some sort of border against her flesh. “but it hurts me to wake you before eight.”

public transportation wasn’t the option benjamin wanted to take when his vintage muscle car decided to break down on him, but he didn’t have the funds for taking ubers to his multiple jobs or have a rental car. his build was exceptionally large compared to the dingy, plastic chair he sat on and looked quite uncomfortable. it didn’t help that the male had a late night shift at the fire station, and barely got any sleep. the scowl on his countenance and his intimidating stature made people think twice to sit beside him; however, ben didn’t notice until a lively blonde stepped right past his peripherical vision. the sudden quarrel arising from the elderly woman caused him to glimpse over his shoulder and roll his azure hues. it was still morning, and this lady already had fury bubbling inside of her. his irritated expression softened as his view shifted towards the young blonde, noticing the embarrassed blush on her cherub cheeks. suddenly, he felt his legs make him stand up before he even debated whether or not to intervene. his heart urged him to step forward. the rest of the passengers gawked at the scene, and then at the large man standing up. the australian stepped beside the female, piercing blue hues glaring at the decrepit woman. “ this beautiful girl only asked politely if that empty seat beside you was taken, but clearly you are too mental to understand, ” he retorted, unfazed but the appalled expression on her features. benjamin turned his attention back to the girl beside him, a charming simper curling on his brims. “ there’s an empty seat by me. you can sit there. ” he offered, extending his hand towards the empty section he was sitting at moments ago. 

            the last thing she wanted to do was make a scene, so she’s quick to turn herself away from the rude woman before she’s just inches from another’s frame. shifting her gaze to meet theirs, she realizes that it was the same male from before who she’d considered asking for a vacant seat. as he defends her from the other, hestia’s jaw nearly falls to the floor. judging others by their appearance wasn’t something she’d often do, and it was clear this time around that she was gravely mistaken. when he in turns offers the seat beside him, she only nods, cheeks too rosy at the moment to formulate a proper response. after a few moments pass, the blonde takes the vacant seat, setting her bag on her lap before offering the male a soft smile. “i really appreciated that,” she does her best to speak over the hustle and bustle of the packed bus. “i’m hestia, by the way.” she offers out a hand, slipping it into his much bigger one for a friendly shake. “i’m not going to lie, when i first stepped on you didn’t seem to be too much of a morning person.” she teases.
