Alex stared blankly at Hades when he introduced himself. Obviously, Alex knew who Hades was. Anyone who was here… at a place where the children of greek gods gathered, would know who Hades was. Even though he kept a blank expression, he was still surprised that this was Hades. Definitely didn’t see him looking like that. “Doesn’t seem like you’re a dick though, even though the world sees you as one.”

He waited for the demigod’s response, and was actually a bit surprised by what he said. His brows scrunched together as if Alex had just given him the nicest compliment he’d ever heard. “Aw, thank you!” Hades beamed, bringing his hands to his chest. “That means so much! What’s your name?”

“Wait. For real?!” Evian took the god’s hand, shaking it rapidly in his excitement. “Hades is a TikToker?! Who’d have thought! Is social media big in the underworld?” He had just about a million questions for the god, but when he was reminded of the video they were about to shoot, he grinned. “Listen. I think I got it. Let’s try it with an eight-count!” Evian started a count and he seemed to get it right for the most part, but halfway through, a mistake in timing causes him to accidentally kick the god in the shin. His eyes widened in horror and he went off on a mortified ramble. “Ohmygodsohmygodsohmygods, I did not just kick a god. I’m so sorry. You can vaporize me where I stand. I–”

“For real! Although, I only have like forty-seven followers,” he laughed, and a child-like smile spread on his face, his eyes crinkling as well. He always got a kick out of the demigods’ reactions to finding out who he was. Some got terrifyingly intimidated, some treated him like a celebrity-- which he had to admit, he loved. Evian, however, seemed pretty psyched, and Hades couldn’t help but want to match his energy. “Let’s do it!” he nodded excitedly, and the record button was pressed, got super into the dance. When Evian’s foot collided with him, he faltered and grabbed his leg, but erupted into laughter at the demigod’s rambling. “Don’t worry, dude, I’m not gonna vaporize you.”

         𝐖𝐎𝐖, 𝐇𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐒 𝐖𝐀𝐒     so much cooler than elijah had imagined. and, the son of eros instantly perked up when the god offered to follow him.   ❝  oh man, really ??   ❞   he asks brightly, giving the god his phone back as he went to grab for his own. ❝   it’s , juzt eli. but like, all one words . i’ll follow you back !! we should make a tiktok together one day.  ❞  

“Definitely! I kind of need all the follow-backs I can get,” he admitted, giving an awkward chuckle as he ran a hand through his hair. Hades opened up the app, about to type in what he’d heard, but paused. “Wait, is it just ‘Eli’ or is it ‘just-Eli’?” He probably sounded like an idiot, but the god couldn’t tell.

           even if she didn’t understand what he was saying she still gave him a knowing nod,   ❝ ohh, gotcha.  it isn’t stupid!  live your best immortal life and like whatever you want. ❞   she wasn’t able to hide her bewilderment at his question. in her nine hundred years of life, she’s never been asked if she was a god.   ❝ nah, i wish.  i’m a phoenix, though!  so we have the whole rebirth thing goin’ on.  i haven’t died yet, though, so i could visit the underworld while i heal.  have you met another phoenix before? ❞

“I have binged so much television in the Underworld, you have no idea,” the god laughed, a breathy and friendly sound. “Ohhhhh,” he said, drawing out the word like a child who had just learned how to spell onomatopoeia and smacking his forehead. “I should have guessed! That’s pretty sick, though. I’ve met a few, but it’s been a couple decades-- you mind if I ask how old you are?”

               ❝  𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐊 𝐒𝐎 ??  well, i’d say i’m decent . enough to where the camera won’t be shakey .  ❞    he laughs, while preparing the camera settings so he can catch the god in slow motion whenever he was ready. ❝ yeah !!  i actually make tiktoks all the time, so i’m usually taping myself.   ❞  

“That’s so key,” he nodded, remembering all his old failed attempts at videos when he’d first started trying to get into it. Persephone had made fun of him, and she was sort of in the right. But now he’d gotten the hang of things. “You’re on TikTok? What’s your username, I’ll totally follow you!” he beamed.

           ❝ ohh, do they every say girls in the house?  i should start saying that when i see my friends come in our apartment.  how do you like the pics, by the way? ❞   she asked, as she watching him scroll through the gallery. she was fairly proud of them and could tell by his expression he liked them too but she still wanted the validation.   ❝ nah, we would have a never appointment?  like i can’t die so we would’ve never met if it weren’t for this place. ❞

“Well, no, because the girls have always been in the house, it’s-- it’s stupid,” he rambled, wondering how he’d ended up on this topic. “They’re great, Margo, thanks! Wait, woah, no way. What are you, cursed? Oh shit, you’re not a minor god I’m forgetting about, right?” he asked wincing, trying to think of a proper reason as to why she might never be doomed to the Underworld.

“I…” Trailing off as the other put a hand on his shoulder, he looked at it for a brief moment before returning his eye contact to meet his. Did Alex thank him without realizing? What the hell was going on? “…yeah.” He trailed off. “I have a question.” He stated. “What are you talking about?”

“Oh, I should backtrack. I’m Hades. Like, the god. Like, the Greek gods?” he said, his smile casual and pleasant. He visited often, and he always forgot that a new influx of kids would arrive, or perhaps some had missed it when he last showed up, but not everyone knew his disgruntled mop of blonde hair as the god of the Underworld. “I’m just saying, gods can be dicks sometimes.”

“Ooh, well! Keep one so you’ll remember me. I’m Evian, by the way.” Watching the short video, it was clear that he enjoyed himself, grin widening and head bobbing to the beat. “Yo! This is so cool! It’s the first time I’ve seen it!” He did a few hops and some small kicks, trying to replicate what he just saw. “Let’s do it, let’s do it!”

“Alright, bud, just for you,” he smiled, giving a little laugh before extending his hand. “Nice to meet you, Evian. I’m Hades, God of the Underworld.” The god brought his attention back to the video on his screen. “I know! We can so do this, we just gotta practice the steps a couple times. Can you dance, at all?”

           ❝ boys in the house? ❞   the phrase was so strange to her, she had to repeat it.   ❝ what does that mean?  ❞   once they were one with their mini photo shoot, she handed him his phone back.   ❝ oh, i know who you are!  it’s nice to officially meet you, though.  honestly, i thought we’d never meet.  i’m margo! ❞   

“It’s what they said when the boys were intro-- nevermind, it’s not important,” Hades cut himself off, realizing belatedly how absurd he sounded. He started scrolling through his phone, looking at all the shots Margo had taken of him with a grin. “I would hope most people would know,” he chuckled, then tilted his head in thought. “Margo? Did we have an appointment, or something?”

Hades, always pretty quick to accept a compliment, simply threw a grin Eli’s way, adding a couple finger guns to the gesture. A short gasp escaped the god, before his smile grew wider and he nodded with excitement at the boy before him. “Yes, that sounds so cool! You’re pretty good at this, you know! I bet you take great videos of yourself, too,” he winked.

listening to the other’s advice, alex knew he was right but he also didn’t care. he never cared about hierarchy. his thought process was simple: if he didn’t want to do it then he wouldn’t. “i didn’t realize being honest was blowing someone off.” he commented. “is that why people don’t know how to say no these days?”

“Bro, I just mean the gods, you know? They’re not, like, the most reasonable people. Like, Zeus? Fuck that guy. But only I can say that, because otherwise one of you guys would get hit by lightning or something.” He put a gentle hand on his shoulder, offering a smile as if encouraging a kid to believe in himself on get back out on the baseball field. “You’re welcome.”

“Aw, why! People love my selfies!” he says, but he does finally remember that the phone belonged to someone else, so he hands it back with the most charming smile he could put on. “Ooh! What TikTok dance? I’m already sold. Let’s do it.”

“I’m running out of space on my phone, and I refuse to pay for bigger storage-- it’s a scam,” he grumbled, though the best solution would probably have been to clean out his saved photos, but, oh well. Hades scrolled through his phone, then showed the other his screen. “This one!”

           𝐆𝐑𝐄𝐄𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐇𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐒 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇   a small wave and a simple nod, he took the other’s phone. instantly agreeing with him,  ❝   woah , the lighting is pretty bomb . ❞  he exclaimed. admiring his own visuals for a second before turning the camera around, more than ready to oblige with the god’s request to help him film.  ❝  i got you,  ❞  eli reassured, making sure to get the hades’ best angles, but being a god, it wasn’t really hard to do.  ❝  oh, what are you shooting ??  ❞   he asks, backing up to get the other’s body in the frame. focusing on his camera work.

Trusting the demigod, he pulled out a much more cool and suave persona, wanting the photos to appear ‘effortless’. “Just a quick outfit-of-the-day,” he replied with a wink. “I feel like this fit is just too good, you know? Thanks, by the way!” Hades was pretty grateful Eli was so willing to humor him.

           ❝ oh, for sure! ❞   she knew who tyra banks was but had never seen an episode of america’s next top model, and decided not to disclose that information with him.   ❝ booch?  love that!  i’m gonna start using it too.  anyways, pop that booch for your lady! ❞   this time she crouched down since it was the best way to get booty shots.

“Same, I’ve watched every single episode of ANTM,” he said proudly, before posing again and quoting the show, “Boys in the house!” After a couple more shots, the god threw a thumbs up and reach for his phone again. “Thanks! What’s your name, by the way? I’m Hades.”

[dirtymoneyhades]

phvsphene‌:

           she definitely wasn’t a youth, but she waved nonetheless.   ❝ yeah, dude! ❞   she easily took his phone and began taking various photos of him in different angles while giving various complements such as, the camera loves you.   ❝ oh, my god; you should make your booty pop.  do you already know how to do it or can i teach you? ❞

His smile grew wider and seeing how obliging she was to take photos for him, it was that much easier to strike all his favorite poses. “Seph is gonna love these,” he grinned, then tilted his head a bit. “Do you just mean like my ass? I think Tyra Banks calls it the booch-- the boy tooch.”

With a smile, he takes the phone from the god, ready to oblige. It wasn’t like he was doing anything more important at that moment. When he lifts the phone up though, it was still on selfie mode, and his brows raised in amusement as he sees himself on the screen. “Oh, hey! You’re right, the lighting really is great in this area!” He forgets for a moment that he’s holding someone else’s phone, and he proceeds to hit the shutter button multiple times, shifting poses as he went.

He nodded eagerly, fixing his hair a bit as prepared for the boy to hit record, then watched as he instead took a million selfies. “You look great, but I will be deleting all of those. We can, however, take a video together! I’ve been meaning to learn this TikTok dance.”
