so my phone broke lmao, I can't post dick unless i'm on my elderly chromebook that doesn't work unless it's plugged in and my backup phone can't open Tumblr or docs, so.... whoops for not posting. I quite literally can't.
Hopefully I can just dump some finished drafts? idk
warnings - none but inaccurate Greek imagery lmao + random Bakugo dig lol
a/n - don't ask me about my Christmas masterlist, okay, I literally have had no wifi for weeks now. This has been sitting in my notes for like months now. I'm talking 2024 so take it and stop looking at me.
The fields were quieter at dusk. A time between times you thought, when the sun and moon slowly passed each other as they change shifts. You always loved this time of day, the critters and creatures settled down for the night and the more mystical creatures took their place.
And for you, it meant that you could see him again.
Fireflies blinked to life in the grass, illuminating your face with a soft glow. You smiled as they flew around your head and landed in your hair. A particularly small firefly landed on your nose, and you chuckled softly as it crawled around, preparing to fly off again.
"Goodbye, little one..." you murmured, the bug flying back to its friends in the grass.
"You know, I don't know many who laugh at the feeling of bugs on their skin. I know a few that would shiver at the thought, god and mortal. You truly are an odd one."
You roll your eyes at the voice, turning your head to see its owner.
Hades, Adonis, God of the Underworld, Keeper of Souls, Ruler of Damnation. A name mortals dare not say in fear of invoking his attention. And yet you had the pleasure of knowing his true name and he yours.
"You're not funny Hitoshi..." you huffed, biting your lip to hide your smile. An impossible feat for as soon as he sits next to you and places his arm around your shoulder, you melt into his side with a sigh.
"And yet you smile when I am near, how strange," he quips, smiling a tired smile down at you, your name sliding across his tongue like silk on skin. You huffed and poked his cheek, your soothing warmth a welcome contrast to his brisk cold.
"I shouldn’t be smiling. You’re late after all," you said with a raised eyebrow.
"I beg your forgiveness my bloom, the Underworld has been hectic lately. A certain war god has had my psychopomps working overtime for weeks now." He groaned, a slight tick in his jaw.
You hummed in acknowledgement. It was quite like Ares to cause such problems with his...explosive personality. Hopefully, Hermes could divert his attention eventually.
A peaceful silence stretched between the two of you. You liked it that way, a calm brought on by the two of you. Oftentimes, your days were filled with chaos, ceaseless squabbling of nymphs and endless decisions to make for the coming of spring - it drained you completely. You hardly had the energy to keep going most days, but from the day you met Hades under this very hill, you felt a peace you hadn't felt in centuries.
"My offer still stands. I can take you away from this life, away from this prison your mother has you shackled in." He said, breaking the peaceful silence. You sighed knowingly, lying down in the grass. He lay with you, drawn to your very movements. Most could say that they had a god captivated by their very movements but you knew your relationship was different.
There was no lust or obsession in the way he held you, no malice or manipulation. There was just a man in complete and utter infatuation. A man of power will bring himself down to earth if just for the opportunity to hold your gaze for a moment. You consumed his every waking thought and any dreams he could have in his eternal life.
Every time you met, he gave you the same offer. To take you from the mortal realm and let you live in the Underworld. You lived a less-than-desirable life in this realm, constantly working to prove yourself to your mother's idea of perfection. You never seemed to do enough in her eyes; you often felt alienated from your mother and her followers.
"I...I can not accept." You reply, as you do every night he visits. Your brows furrow, and the words taste like ash, and yet your answer never changes. He never gets upset, regardless, only gives you a patient smile and a quiet nod, understanding something that you do not.
"The day retreats and I must with it." You said, sitting up slowly. Hitoshi watched you closely, his sharp eyes tracking your movements.
"I will convince you one day. I promise you that." He declared, a knowing smile on his lips.
You smiled and leaned down, pressing a soft kiss to his hairline - so light that you could argue that you hadn't kissed him at all. Hitoshi could all but beg with his eyes for your warmth again as you pulled away.
"I will consider it. Don't stare at me like that." You chuckled, brushing a few stray purple locks from his forehead as his eyes burned with a thousand unspoken promises.
His cool hand gripped yours and brushed his lips against your knuckles. His breath was cold, so cold that frost briefly kissed your knuckles.
"The Underworld waits with bated breath for your arrival, Persephone." He murmured, smirking as your breath hitched just faintly. And with that, he faded with the last glimmer of sunlight in a plume of smoke and shadow into the grass beneath you.
A glittering amethyst sat where he once resided and you sighed as you picked it up with trembling fingers.
One day, you'd truly claim that name. For now, you dusted yourself off and went back to your temple, a secret smile on your face the whole way.
