—&   reading emotions, comforting, reassuring—all those were skills athena lacked in. courses on feelings weren’t necessary for becoming-queens, all she needed to do was understand politics and manipulate the opponents. still there were times she wishes she could be better, more humane. and with hypnos’s response, this becomes one of those moments. “perhaps that there is the issue,” the woman begins, referring to his first sentence. “mourning is natural and necessary for a proper closing.” who was she to talk though? athena hid her thoughts far, far in her mind.

but she calms down on getting deep and instead settles beside him. clearly she ignores the rejection and watches the other grab onto the wine. “this does not need to be a royal conversation but a normal one, between brother and sister,” athena continues. she’s persistent, but that was a trait that always came out when it involved blood. “you know i won’t walk away, not unless you really need it.”she looks back at him, her eyes serious, “i can listen if you just need that too.”

Hypnos closed his eyes in frustration, shaking his head. “There’s not mourning. We were platonic, Athena,” he muttered, not really feeling too bothered to talk about any of this. He took a long sip of wine, trying to keep his nerves calm. He didn’t meet her eyes, not even for a moment. He had nothing to be upset about, his life was perfect, or so it seemed. 

“Please, Athena, just... leave. Leave me alone,” he sighed, running a hand through his hair in frustration. “I really, really, don’t want to talk, and truthfully, you’re not the best... confidant, when it comes to these things, as you just proved when you tried to explain mourning a relationship that was arranged. Please, leave.” The last bit was a lot harsher than he intended, but nevertheless, he took back none of his words.

Hypnos O and Selene Baek ( @gjselene ) for the King and Queen’s inaugural ball.

[gjxhypnos-blog]

from @gjxathena

words pause mid-sentence as athena refrains from delivering her nth lecture- and its coats of unnecessary worry. she comes to realize again she was not faced with the youth of hypnos. no. now he was grown- a man capable of his own decisions. the frustration reaches her ears and she nods, giving up. right. “go on,” the queen then nudges. she was curious to what got her beloved brother drinking at such bright hours. but she holds back from a scolding- the father mentality of hers always raging to storm out- when she comes to realize the other was still human. behind his title of royal and underneath his crown of prince- hypnos was all everyone else was. all she was behind closed doors.

“it better not be any dumb love problems.”

Hypnos scowled at the mention of love. Love. What a funny word. One which Hypnos seemingly had yet to experience. Yes, Hypnos once may have developed a love for Selene--they were betrothed after all--but the woman was his best friend. He wasn’t sure if the love he had held in the past was simply platonic mixed with sexual emotions, or love. He’d never know. It didn’t matter, and all of that was in the past now. Currently? Love was laughable. 

“Athena,” Hypnos started, “When have I ever had love problems? Even when the engagement was broken off, I didn’t mourn, and I haven’t had a romantic or sexual relationship since,” he finished in a mutter, shaking his head. He brought the bottle of wine closer to him, already shutting his sister out. “Leave me. I do not want to discuss this anymore. I have no meetings, and I owe you no explanation of why, I’m drinking.”

They all knew how Hypnos can be on his own moments, and Jace thinks that everyone needs some time for their own. He doesn’t really check on him as much as he should but he trusts his brother to do almost all the right things when needed. Besides, if he will be in that dark place, he knows better than to leave his daughter behind. But that’s a topic for a different time, because right now, Jace is obviously faced with a bigger question: why did he ask his brother for such opinion? 

It’s not that he minds the blunt remarks, but Hypnos is too, if he can say, practical. And Jace had always been a dreamer and an idealist, who draws inspiration from his own creativity. He shakes his head with a small purse of his lips before speaking, “Is it because I called you Hippie?” It’s not critical, he doesn’t really take Hypno’s claims to heart; they both have different sense in art. Jace turns to his brother, gesturing him close. 

“I brought my supplies here, why don’t you show me how you paint and maybe I’ll finally learn something from my older brother, how’s that?” He taunts, in an obviously playful way. “Maybe we can show Athena, or Dio, or someone and ask them how they think. Realism versus expressionism?” 

Truthfully, it had been partly because Jace had called him Hippie, the name annoyed him. But it wasn’t that big of a deal, nor was the artwork. “I taught you plenty of stuff. Didn’t Athena and I practically raise you all?” Hypnos smiled, and just to annoy him, brushed a hand through his hair. “But I wouldn’t mind painting,” he admitted. It had been way too long. Given when he was holed up in his room, he didn’t come out to paint. And well, those paintings that he did paint, didn’t usually see the light of day. Canvases would be destroyed before anyone could. 

“I’m open to that. Gives us time to chat, too,” Hypnos offered, hoping that Jace wouldn’t just leave him to paint. Even if Hypnos preferred being alone, after awhile, it did get lonely. And what better way to spend his day painting with his brother? He leaned down, picking up one of the other canvases. He brushed off the grass and dirt, before glancing to Jace with a sort of expression that said ‘my turn’ in reference to the easel.

It had been way too busy of a day. The two, Athena and Hypnos, had had meetings nonstop. Royalty was great and all, but not for the two. This was a common occurrence, and one that many did not consider. The two were exhausted, and at the end of the day, when it was nearing 10PM, they were finally heading home. It was Athena first that fell asleep against his shoulder, causing Hypnos to smile lightly, but he followed shortly after, the sound and movements of the car rocking them both to sleep–as if they were children again.

030619 - Our Priorities

@gjxhypnos

Heals clicked along the castle floor. She smiled softly, watching Catie run through the familiar halls as if she belonged, headed straight to the kitchen and out the back door to the lawn and garden to find her father. The scream of excitement and her daughters laughter, the sweet words of ‘Hey Princess,’ and ‘Daddy missed you,’ played like a melody in her ears as she finally reached the door.

She smoothed out her checkered skirt, greeting the servants and finally Hypnos with a soft bow and then a hug and a light kiss to his cheek. “Always good to see you my love,” she says softly playing in Catie’s pigtails as he holds her. “How are you doing?” She asks, setting the baby blue purse onto one of the tables. “Daliah, can you fetch me some water please,” she says to one of the girls waiting around for instruction, she nods in response and she motions for her and Hypnos to sit. 

“I can’t say that I didn’t miss you dear,” She knew it had been awhile since they all were together, instead of Hypnos picking up Cate simply because he missed his ‘daughter’. “Let her play, let’s chat,” she offers looking up at him with golden eyes. She couldn’t deny, Hypnos was handsome, and her attraction to him still lingered, even in the light of their situation changing. 

[gjxhypnos-blog]

Maybe it was Hypnos’ fault for withdrawing after their daughter was born. Or really, Selene’s daughter. Deep down, he knew that Catie wasn’t his true blood. He signed up for that, though, and that was something he didn’t care about. Catie was his, no matter whose genetics made up her blood. Maybe it was a blessing for her, she would never have to deal with the negative powers Hypnos possessed. 

The sight of Catie always brought joy to him, and he happily accepted the little girl into his arms, spinning her around as he spoke his sweet words. His little Princess. Even if they weren’t technically royalty, she always would be just that. His Princess. But today wasn’t for time with Catie-- well, it was, but no entirely. Selene had spoken about chatting earlier, so he was expecting it. Either way, he welcomed the hug, the kiss to his cheek, and he returned both, not letting go of Catie as she clung to him. She seemingly didn’t want to let go either. 

“I’m doing good,” Hypnos finally replied, smiling to the Queen. “And you, my love?” he questioned. Affection came hard to him nowadays, but he tried, especially with the woman he had once thought he would spend his days with, and his daughter. “It certainly is good to see you. We should have dinner sometime, instead of waiting so long to see each other again,” he smiled in an offer. And despite the fact he just wanted to hug and hold his daughter, to hear about her latest adventures and games, he nodded, giving her one small squeeze before sitting. “Mommy and daddy is going to talk. Poe is out here with me, go find him, yeah? He’d love to play,” Hypnos smiled to their daughter, referring on of his three cats he knew she loved. When the girl had hopped off, he turned to look to Selene with a genuine smile. The type he always got when he saw Catie. “So, that chat?”

Hypnos was raised right, admittedly. He was raised learning how to slow dance, and maybe he was just in the mood, but the song that played at the gathering made him smile. Also, feel awkward, as everyone grabbed a partner. He fiddled with his sleeves before catching the eye of the Nam Princess–Ruby. He sent her a friendly smile, offering her his hand. “May I have this dance, love?”  

[mphanhwa]

for the night is dark and full of terror (w @gjxhypnos )

          A YAWN ESCAPED HIS LIPS.

     It was early in the morning, where the sun isn’t even rise up yet and Hanhwa was already chewing on the bread he took (not stole) from leftovers yesterday. Not that he’s complaining, he’s usually up early or sometimes goes without sleeping at all, just like today. He doesn’t really have trouble sleeping, more like, he hates being rudely awaken by the sound of his alarm so to his logic, it’s better not to get any sleep at all then get some rest! Also, it’s just a weekly thing too, where he has to wake up THE LEADER for a meeting that’s gonna be held in five hours. He never asked why the other demanded to be waken up so early, but Hanhwa wasn’t in place to ask the royalty that. 

     He sighed, knocking on the door softly before entering the room. It was dead silent, well it was supposed to be dead silent but it’s not. Hanhwa could hear a small voice coming from the other, “ Your Grace? ” he called out softly but no answer as he walked towards the bed. He couldn’t quite see well as his eyes have not adjusted to the darkness yet, the other wouldn’t be mad if he lights up the nightlight right? And so he did. “ Your Grace? ” He called out again, with urgency now that he could see the other’s contorted face, it made him worried as he tries to shook him awake. “ Please wake up! ” 

[gjxhypnos-blog]

It was known that the prince had night terrors. Didn’t everyone within the O family have some sort of sleeping issues? He was sure whoever woke them, whether it was Hanhwa or another servant, they were very well acquainted with this fact. Hypnos would have felt bad if it wasn’t something he could help. Between the spirit of a woman who stood in the corner of his room, the maimed flesh, her thing and sickly frame, missing eyes-- and the other’s that whispered to him as he tried to sleep-- some screamed-- yeah, he didn’t sleep well. He only had managed to fall asleep a few hours ago, by the time the the early morning had reached.

The one thing that still haunted him in his dreams was their parents. The way they had died, the blood that had been spilled. He imagined it at night, remembering it, but only this time, the person doing the deed couldn’t kill them quickly, so their screams, their agony, their blood, haunted his dreams. They questioned why he watched, why he hadn’t stepped in, even if he was so young, and when finally, they were dead, their mangled bodies, lifeless, would come to life again, tugging at him, holding him, lifeless eyes, empty, just as the woman who haunted the corner of his room-- staring at him. Outside of the dream, he was sweating, his face contorted and practically in pain, as in the dream, his own skin was ripped by the claws his parents had developed. They hurt, and the screams grew louder and louder, until finally-- he woke, gasping for air, and in his half wakened state, he pushed the offender off of him. A bit roughly, and harsh, before he could realize it wasn’t a spirit like he thought-- rather, Hanhwa. 

The prince took a deep breath, trying to calm his breathing, his heart rate, as he sat there. After a moment, he closed his eyes again, pressing his face into his hand. “Apologies, Hanhwa,” he breathed out, “I thought you were... something else,” he murmured.

❝ one of the dolls is missing! ❞

“A spirit probably possessed it,” Hypnos shrugged, uncaring on the dolls they had stored away from their childhood. Whatever. What did he have use with a doll missing? It was harmless, surely. Still, it did make him a bit uneasy. Someone telling him a doll was missing? Without any explanation of how? And the stored doll surely couldn’t have been picked up by one of his siblings? Yeah, it was probably supernatural, but who cared.

[gjxhypnos-blog]

the law can be changed.

Hypnos gave an amusing small smile, the one that was more of a smirk, as he listened to Florent speak over their lunch. He nodded slowly, moving a hand forward to take the glass of wine. It was as if it was a romantic night, instead of just two friends catching up, what with the private dinner and aged wine. But what could they say? They were royals. The law can be changed. “Yeah, but not without a bit of friction from your parents and my sister and the people, depending on the law. Any law can be changed or added.”

from @jacegj

The kingdom has been fairly peaceful the past few days, and Jace opt to take a break. He got the permission from his sister anyway, and she, too, believes that he needs a break. It’s been a while since, he admits that he missed the silence throughout the day without needing to talk to their advisers or anyone that could give them relevant information about the kingdom they’re running (technically his sister, but he tries to help from time to time and on matters that he can).

Calmly, Jace flicks a stroke over a pattern of flowers on the bed of grass he already painted over the end of the canvas. He’s sitting by the small garden located behind the castle, it’s one of his favorite spots. One, because it’s one of those spots that is hard to locate unless you’re a frequent. Two, because he managed to plant ranunculus on one side, and it’s slowly blooming for spring and he can’t wait to see how it fully blossoms.

Jace takes a break as he leans back, admiring the landscape he painted (albeit unfinished), he feels proud that he managed to create such exquisite art. He cannot say that it’s his best but it’s close enough. He turns when he feels a sudden increase in his anxiety, someone managed to enter his sacred place without him knowing.

It’s Hypnos.

“Good to see you out of your room. I thought you were dead for days now.”

❝ death is just another adventure. ❞ the other replies.

He stops to think for a moment for a clever retort yet he is faced with none. Jace merely shakes his head with a chuckle as he waves his brother over, asking him to join him in his afternoon.

“Well, I’m glad you’re here to join me. What do you think about my painting, Hippie?”

Hypnos has been fairly quiet, the past few days. Needless to say, he didn’t have any meetings to assist Athena with, so he was taking advantage of the days by spending time with his daughter, and ultimately, sleeping. Family time had been in the back of his mind with him holed up in his room, within in his comfy bed. 

He had wandered out finally into the garden, taking a breath of fresh air. The balcony only allowed so much of it. The kingdom wasn’t exactly the most... beautiful. Given, the people tried, the servants and gardener tried. He sighed softly, tossing away a dead flower, which seemed to be too common to find. It was as if the soil was dead itself. If anything he’d give for a certain Ahn Queen or Prince to pay the castle a visit to make their poor flowers bloom and stay living. 

His notice was torn away whenever he spotted out the corner of his eye one of his brothers. Jace. A similar painter, and his interested was piqued. Well, mainly his interest to potentially annoy his brother. And that he did, stepping to look at the painting, until he was noticed, a small smirk quirking at his lips whenever he gave the retort, only for the reply to come with that annoyingly, infuriating, name everyone seemed to call him. “I think it could use more darker shades. You’re painting what your mind is imagining. Like, that flower right there,” he gestured to the one spot of flowers, “Is dead. But you made it alive. Paint what you see, unless it’s a play on shadows and shit like Baroque artwork. I just don’t know what your going for,” he finished, before relaxing, “It’s good, though,” he added. He didn’t meant to be too harsh.

❝ I feel like I should be shocked that you two had sex there, but I’m not anymore. ❞

Hypnos frowned at the admission, raising an eyebrow in surprise. “Well, I’m glad you’re not shocked anymore, since Hecate is my daughter, y’know. Kind of... have to have sex... to create, y’know, a baby.”
