“ i tried to grab onto that last bit of hope with both of my hands . ” [in reference to his manipulative mother]

It wasn't often that Apollo was emotionally vulnerable. He had only been in love a few times in his immortal life and he was used to worrying about himself and no one else more or less. But now that he knows his children he wants to be around them, wants to help them. Maybe asking his son about his mother after he left them probably wasn't the lightest conversation topic. They sat in the closed shop of Siren's Song in front of the grand piano that was set up under a spotlight in the middle of the store. Sometimes Apollo sat here and drank while he played songs that he knew or came up with himself, just to relax. He wanted more time with his son, he always did, so he invited him around this time. The blonde god rubbed Woojijn's back with a soft sigh out of his nose. "If I had known I...." He shook his head. "I was irresponsible to think I wouldn't ever have a child with a mortal, after all my father was reckless with his... child bearing." Apollo pushed his hair back out of his eyes and gave his son a smile. "If I had known you and your sister existed I would have spirited you away and raised you on Olympus."

[  hug  ]  sender  pulls  receiver  into  a  hug

“Well now it seems that there’s just a string that popped in your piano... I can run down to the store and pick up a replacement and go ahead and-” His out loud thoughts were stopped in their tracks as a pair of feminine arms wrapped around his waist from behind and he felt Allegra’s precious cheek pressed against his back. He could help but smile as he looked back at her, wondering what brought on the sudden affection, but he wouldn’t question anything because a lovely moment like this deserved to be cherished. He parted her hands to loosen her hold so he could turn around in her grasp and hug her. He ran his large hands up and down her back in a comforting gesture as he squeezed her back tightly.

[ skill ] receiver tries to assist sender in learning a new skill

“ALRIGHT!” The loud blonde Greek’s shout remained muffled inside of his place of business, since the foam padding was meant to keep the music inside. He didn’t care if he did bother people with his loud antics anyway, he was just beyond excited to spend some quality time with his son. His son! Oh it was so awesome to be able to finally be the father his father never was. Or attempt to at least. Apollo clasped his music note covered hand on Woojin’s shoulder as he led him to the back room of the store. When Woojin had asked to learn something from his father, the God was more than happy to oblige, but he needed to asses his skill first.  Apollo opened the door to a room filled with musical instruments of all shapes and sizes dating back to Ancient Greece, but still very well preserved. “Pick an instrument, any instrument, that you don’t know and I’ll give it to you and teach you how to play it.” He figured that any child of his had to have some inate musical talent that they would be able to tap into whenever faced with an instrument, whether they know how to play it or not. “I have um.... Oh-” He picked up a golden lyre intricately decorated with mythological themes and elements. “Orpheus’s lyre... or-” He reached down and picked up a red rubber toy that looked like a musical note with a mouth. “Look, this is an Otamatone, I just learned how to play it.”

“Too many hands in the kitchen, out!”

While Apollo was the bright and sunny god of the Greek day, Camaztoz was his exact opposite, the lord of the Mayan night. And it showed when they began to get into a spat in the middle of Apollo’s kitchen. All he wanted was to have some fun, after all cooking is an art not a science, but the moment the flames got too high Caça’s temper rose and soon the blondie was being kicked out of his own kitchen! “Hey this is my house you know.” Apollo grumbled as he dejectedly kicked his way over to the bar that looked into his open kitchen, sliding into the seat so he could sip on his wine.  While it may seem like he was upset about the situation, in reality it didn’t really affect his mood at all. He didn’t like to let his emotions overcome him, and never held grudges or let the actions of another determine how he felt about them. Unless they did something really shitty. Or they were his father. 

[mpx-apollo]

“You’re actually tearing up… it can’t taste THAT good.”

Apollo, through his glittering tears that lined his golden eyes, swallowed the bit of food that was in his mouth as he took the hand of the goddess beside him. The Greek was always so happy to learn from others of different cultures and make new friends with a diversity of people, so when he could convince Izanami to let him observe her in her kitchen he was ecstatic. This was definitely worth all of the begging.  “Oh my beautiful Izanami.” He kissed her hand like the dramatic man he was as he spoke through the lump in his throat. “Your cooking is heavenly. Like nothing I have even tasted before! You might just be on par with me!” Of course he couldn’t admit that anyone was better than him at anything. He was Apollo!

[mpx-apollo]

“You could give Gordon Ramsay a run for his money.”

Apollo laughed as he sat across from his beautiful daughter in his kitchen. The way he had decorated the room made him think of his palace back on Olympus, he wanted marble columns and decorative vines along with glass storage containers for all of his dry ingredients. He made himself feel as at home as possible here on this new island and he invited Allegra over because he wanted to share that with her. He wanted to be a better father than his father ever was. “I know my dear.” He purred in his usual cocky manner as he sipped at the glass of red wine he coaxed out of Dionysus just for this occasion. “I mean did you ever have any doubt?” The dish on the table was a classic Gnocchi with pesto and bread and olive oil on the side, something he learned from a little old Roman lady back at the turn of the first millennium. 

[mpx-apollo]

“I don’t know how you’re supposed to hold this knife”

“What, have you never handled a knife before?” The sunny Greek god teased the other as he took the knife from Muzan’s delicate hands. Apollo was an overconfident man and believed that if there was something that could be done he would be good at doing it. After all his father bestowed upon him so many responsibilities over the mortals, why wouldn’t he be able to cook too? He flipped the knife in the air and managed to catch the handle once more with a confident smirk before he realized that the blade had separated from the handle and had gotten stuck in the ceiling above them.  “Oh.” He said and looked up in both confusion and a little bit of awe. “Well now... that’s still pretty cool of me to do right?”

sugar & spice;

@mpx-apollo | continued from [ here ]

Artemis grimaced as she looked down at the mountain of icing Apollo had piped onto the cupcake, almost queasy just looking at it. Considering her diet almost exclusively consisted of game she hunted and wild fruit or vegetables forged from the forest, processed sugar was a little much for her. If she had it, she preferred it in rather tiny portions. So yeah, that cupcake had a tower of frosting on it, in her opinion.

But her twin looked so happy with what he had made, and was apparently so enthusiastic about it, and it made her heart swell. So when he offered her the cupcake, she took it, taking a deep breath before biting off as much as she dared. The pure sugar overwhelmed her taste buds, making her nose wrinkle and her tongue feel sort of tingly. But it was really tasty. Maybe she just needed to introduce a bit more sugar into her diet so she could better enjoy treats like this.

“Still too much icing, if you ask me, but I’m sure your kids will love them. You know I’m not used to eating things like this.”

[mpx-apollo]

Oh Apollo could see the reaction coming from a mile away. He loved to mess with his twin, she was so serious about everything, so of course he knew that she would hate eating so much processed sugar. His grin never dropped as she made a grimace before she handed the cupcake back to him, causing him to shove it almost completely into his mouth to eat. “Mmn... delicious.” He wiped his mouth delicately with a napkin he had off to the side before he swallowed. “The mortals are so innovative with what they do with things, I mean I was just happy coating everything in honey on Olympus but they have come up with so many tasty substitutions now!” He hummed to himself at the mention of his children and his smile softened into something more... nostalgic. He was so happy and ready to be a father, it made him so happy that he had children on this island. “You know I didn’t ask you, really, do you have any half mortal children walking around here too?”

[mpx-apollo]

“That’s so much icing. It’s like a tower of icing.”

“Oh my dear twin that is the whole point!” He pulled away the piping bag he had in his hand as he stared down at the cupcake he had successfully decorated. Apollo always managed to convince his sister, somehow, to go along with whatever spontaneous thing he wanted to do that day. Today he wanted to prove that he was a lovable family member and baked some, well actually a whole lot of cupcakes, to give out to the others in the Greek pantheon as well as his children. The god of the sun, with a smile that matched his powers like as bright as the sun, as he picked up the cupcake to take a bite. His own sweet tooth was pretty big so he thought this much icing was perfect and the little cake was delicious.  “That’s what I’m talking about!” He wiped the excess icing off the corners of his mouth before holding out the cupcake to his sister with a wink. “Here, come on try it.”

“I don’t think I should be trusted with the sharp things. Or the hot things.”

“They couldn’t believe it wasn’t made by professionals… you might need to bake more.”

“So, the grinder broke while I was seasoning, so now this has four ounces of pepper on it.”
