"Typical" Aidon mused with a smile of familiarity at what Persephone did, "I can’t imagine he’d tend to someplace that wouldn’t ensure peace. I’ll have to stop up there to see what he’s done with it" he nodded. "How is it you all enjoy simply sitting in the sun like this? It’s so…bright" the god of the underworld scoffed in an amused tone as he reached for his sunglasses from inside his pocket to put them on.

"He's done a very good job, working with the other nature goddesses. It's a very tranquil space. I never visited the garden he kept in the underworld but if it had half the beauty you were lucky to have it to yourself." Leo tried not to laugh at the disgust in the other god's tone at the sunlight. "You haven't adjusted yet, uncle? You've had a while to acclimate to above ground living."

"I thought you made me to help sustain deep mutual love and avenge those whose love was unrequited." Anteros stated snarkily, licking his lips teasingly.

"It’s a double edged sword for me. Helps keep me in business, but makes me sad. At least I know I’m missed. If I was still around, half of them wouldn’t be happening." The brunette stated cockily.

"Correction. Your clientele don’t say when they get divorces.” It was funny, the man always had to have the last word when it came to his family.

"Technically I made you because Eros required more attention than I was capable of giving him, so I decided a little brother was in order." Leo replied simply. If Anteros was going to play the sass game Leo could serve it right back.

"There's a lot of good we could do if we still had power, I'm afraid." Leo sighed, "I don't think this new capital G "God" gives much time to matchmaking. Sometimes I think the biggest amount of work he ever did was just to expel us from the heavens."

The dig about his business almost made Leo want to slap his son. "We have a 95% success rate, higher than any of my Mundie competitors. It's not my fault mortals endlessly disgust each other."

“You think I’m staring?” Alto proceeded to say as he took off his sunglasses to look at the gorgeous man in front of him. He had been secretly staring. Though he didn’t want to tell the truth to his ex lover, he decided to fool him. “Put some clothes on,” Alto threw him a towel. Leo, Aphrodite. Beautiful as always. They haven’t talked since the fight they had a while ago, it was a blur even though he knew he still loved him.

The attempt at covering up was appreciated, but a total failure. Out of his affection for the man Leo needed to call him out on his bullshit. "I know you were staring, love." He shot back. As soon as Alto tossed him the towel Leo just dropped it on the ground beside himself. "I don' believe you truly want me to do that. Not to mention it's hard to tan with clothes on."

The God mentally chided himself about being careless in his actions, and getting caught most importantly, but offered a friendly smile in return before taking steps forward and sitting down. “Do you interact with him often?” he asked curiously as he sat back, despite the brightness of the sun and how it internally made him uncomfortable, he tried to enjoy it.

Leo shifted slightly in the sunlight, getting comfortable again and grinning as Aidon agreed to move closer. "I've met with him a few times recently, yes." He explained, turning to face the other god. "He tends the gardens on the rooftop often. I like to go up there when I need a little peace." The other's discomfort did not go unnoticed by Leo, but this was Hades. It was probably better not to mention it.

Aiden refrained from scoffing at hismothers statement. Sure, there was no need for distance, but it sure made life a bit easier. It was difficult for him to watch his mother and brothers play with men and their emotions as if they were toys. Every fiber of his being was against the way they could so easily stomp on peoples emotions. Hell, he was created to avenge those people. But he loved them strongly, more than anyone. He couldn’t be angry. So it was best to keep a slight distance.

"I love you too." He said softly, his hand reaching over and taking the blondes hand in his own.

"Life is treating me well. Mundies and marriage don’t mix, so I always have steady work. And you? How’s that website of yours doing?"

Leo much preferred his son in a good mood, even if he looked down on his lifestyle choices. He gave Aiden's hand a squeeze and turned in his chair to face the other man. Sometimes it was difficult to believe that they'd turned out so different - but Anteros had inherited more of Ares than Leo originally thought.

"You better, that's what I made you for." Leo replied with a lighthearted laugh.

"And I'm glad to hear you're doing well. The growing divorce rate is precisely why my website is doing so well. My clientele don't get divorces, so the mundies are willing to pay out the nose for my services."

"Was I staring?" Aidon questioned after not even realizing, tongue grazing along his bottom lip without thought before raising a brow at the offer to move closer. "Oh I couldn’t…" the God excused, already mustering up a slew of evasions to leave, but not quite letting them fall from his lips just yet, for whatever reason.

Leo shrugged his shoulders and laid back out on his chair. "You were staring, but I don't mind." He replied with a smirk on his face. The refusal to move closer didn't surprise Leo, Hades had always been the god to stay the most faithful to his wife. "Persephone might not like that, it's true."

Aiden chuckled a bit, before rising to walk over to the blonde. Sure, he knew he wasn’t a sight for sore eyes, however he wasn’t nearly as self obsessed as his mother and brother. His godly domain had required him to be balanced, deep, and connected. The same wasn’t necessarily true for his brother, however every so often he saw glimpses of it within the man before him. He laid down on the chaise lounge beside the blonde, and Aiden turned his head to face him. “Happy?” He asked, a tinge of sarcasm lingering in his voice.

Leo smiled as his son walked over obediently, relaxing back against his chair. "Very." He replied simply. Anteros was a deep soul, a side of Leo that came out infrequently at best, but an aspect of Aphrodite nonetheless. "There's no need to be distant, Aiden." He cooed as he placed his sunglasses back on his nose. "You're my son and I love you, sarcasm and all." Sometimes Leo feared that his son thought less of him for being so free with his affections. "How has life been serving you, love?"

Aiden looked up briefly from his newspaper, and rolled his eyes at the man across from him. Even after all these centuries, he’d still never get used to his mothers reincarnation as a man. “I’m sorry you’re inflicted with some form of psychosis in which you believe that someone is always looking at you, however currently that is not the case.”

Leo rolled his eyes right back and removed his sunglasses in a smooth gesture, glaring at his son. "Don't act like you didn't inherit some narcissism from me. Now come and visit with your mother." If Anteros wanted to be prickly and distant Leo would find a way to break back through his shell. Few things were more important to Leo than his children.

Leo lounged in the sun next to the pool, his skin still damp from his morning swim. "I can see you staring over there, dear. You'd get a much better view from this chair here." He said, patting the empty seat next to him.

#elysiumststarter #//since we've got all these great new people!!!

Artemis just listened to his brother, not knowing what else to say. “Thank you… I guess?” He said with a small smile finally pulling Leo to a hug. “But now I really mean it. I appreciate that you’re doing this for me…”

Wow, the royal family of olympus was sure huggy lately. Maybe the extended stay in the human world had made them all a little more... well, human. Leo returned the hug with no hesitation. "Any time, love. It's no trouble at all."

Bas smirked, satisfied and cat like as he tapped on his shoulder. “You might want to turn over sweetheart, your chest looks like it could use a little loving too.” His voice was soft, relaxing, feather light to the ears, but his palms were firm when they urged him to flip onto his back, eager to get his hands onto the rest of his body.

Leo hummed as he rolled onto his back, smirking up at the other god. Relaxation as deep as this had a certain obvious effect on Leo's body - not that he was ashamed or embarrassed in any way to be so on display for Bas. "I think you may be right. My front could use some work."

Preston was one of the few gods to keep his marriage when they were exiled. There had been a panic, and Hades had promised him everything, and had always given him just that. There was no need to distrust the man then, and they had persevered. Though he did often grow a fraction of jealousy for those immortals who had looser ties, such as Leo here. “Of course,” Preston bristled with pride as he took a few more steps forward around a rose bush. “For your apartment I assume?”

"Oh, yes." Leo replied. He could picture exactly where he wanted to put it. "I have the perfect vase, and the window that lets the light in just right and.... Yes, please." The flowers around them were all just so stunning, Leo felt like maybe one wouldn't be enough. "If it wouldn't be too much of a hassle, I could use a few more than just one..."

Prestion chuckled and nodded, fingertips brushing the delicate petals of some yellow roses before he turned his full attention to Leo. “It is, but it did take a while to adjust. For a long time my husband looked at my body like a puzzle. Making love was…complicated for a while. Then it became uncomplicated.” Persephone stated bluntly, eyeing the flower Leo had in his hands. He nodded politely. “Yes. It’s inspired by a Money painting I saw in a museum. I could make you a bouquet of them if you’d like.”

Yes, adjustments had been made, Leo smiled and nodded as Persephone explained what that had been like with Hades, of all people. At least Leo had more chance to experiment and have a selection of male gods to help acclimate him to the new body. "I would love a few, thank you." Leo grinned. They truly were beautiful. "You do such lovely work, Preston."

Bas smiled, more satisfied with his work and himself now that he could practically feel Leo melt under his palms. He kneaded and worked every single inch of the other’s back, dipping down just above his ass and even feeling cheeky enough to pay the other’s cheeks a bit of attention before massaging the gods’ thighs, his own role of nurturing god being fulfilled now that he had someone else to taker care of. Really, the list kept growing and Basil felt more full than he did exhausted by the entire ordeal.

"You have... very skilled hands." Leo mumbled, his voice slow and gravelly as he relaxed into the pleasure of the massage. There was care in the way Bas' hands moved over his skin, making him feel not only calm but happy to have someone care for him so thoroughly. The lull in Leo's head threatened to make him fall asleep, but he managed to keep above the cotton-headed of relaxation. "Please just... keep those hands on me."

That you do, I suppose you wish to have the mouth to make sure you’ve claimed both then? Well I can’t exactly-…a collar? That’s, well, I’m going to have to take a minute to process that. Because my mind suddenly….shut down for a moment at that thought. I didn’t think you’d…well, be into that.

And I don’t deserve an answer to two questions? If I wanted jealousy and nothing more then I would go to any impatient, loud mouth God around here. I like the jealousy because it’s coming from you specifically Leo, I like the idea of you being jealous over me because of how much I like you. See how that logic works?

Eventually, yes, I'll want to make sure I've made use of you in every way possible. And I do hope your mind is blank in a good way; it would be a shame to short-circuit my new boyfriend so soon in the relationship.

That... does make a fair bit of sense, I'll grant you. You'll have to be patient with me, I'm much more used to gods trying to make me their own than asking that I make them mine. Though in a way, you are trying to claim my focus for yourself as well.

Morgan chuckled as the other spoke. He could see the other’s eyes light up as he bragged about himself and the future of his business. “That’s most impressive, creating a business out of a basic human emotion. As you say, the mundies will pay for.. anything." Morgan smiled. The mundies, especially the political-minded ones, always came to him for his business. "And what about you, Leo? Have you indulged in this business of yours? Have you found a night of love through your phone?"

Morgan spoke like a man with a secret, and not the fun kind of secret, but the kind of secret where if you found out what it was you might end up dead at the bottom of a river. "They certainly will." Leo answered, trying to keep his smile bright. "I myself have never required online services. I can find love for myself without much trouble."

I think it’s your turn to answer questions, so what would you like to?

Hilarious pun right there. I’m rather proud to bring this new side out of you and I have to ask, how jealous are we talking here?

Well, I have your virginity... Though I've yet to have your mouth. And I could always put a necklance on you... Or a collar. Either that or just keep your neck stained with bites.

That, however, is two questions. And on top of that I have to admit, it makes me nervous that you like my jealousy more than you care for me.
