putting the basket back down, he nodded. “i guess, but i don’t know if everyone considers pancakes to be ‘proper’ meeting food. i always assumed everyone expected like..casual snacks.” he shrugged. “like pretzels, or i don’t know.”

at her question, he smiled and nodded. “just came back from italy, actually. which warrants at least a week visit to my mother. and yeah, she does have a right to that. she just worries so much, you know? like i’d fall off a yacht while sailing or something.”

     “ pretzels? that’s so boring though. “ she laughed. “ you could always come use my oven, we can bake brownies or something for the meeting instead-make it more interesting. “ however, raina realizes she just invited him over after avoiding him for the past few years, turning pink. 

‘ italy? that must’ve been incredible, “ she says, changing the subject. “ are you always on yachts now? sailing around with champagne and caviar? “

          for the life of him, leon couldn’t remember which brand of essential oils alessia preferred. he knew that it was bergamot & he knew that it had a black label, but he hadn’t expected to see three differen’t brands with similar black labels. when a buzzing, much like a mosquito, stole away his attention, he had expected someone needing help finding the yogurt not this. sizing her up with a cautious glance, he could feel the mortality weaved throughout her.                “perhaps. do you need something?” 

               raina grinned, still bouncing nearly on the balls of her feet. she couldn’t help the grin on her face, glancing around again before leaning in. “ i’ve seen you before at the meetings. i’m ra-iris. iris. “ she corrects herself. “ you’re hades, right? i heard about you. “

“Don’t be like that! I’m having a really bad time here. You should be offering to give me a hand instead of trying to add to my suffering.” He spits out in between huffs as it’s nearly impossible to make any progress with his jeans. “You did this to me in the first place, you should at least help me out.”

    “ you pulled me into this mess, so now i’m going to watch and laugh at the suffering. “ it was honestly a hilarious sight to watch the ever so water graceful zander, stumbling over himself. “ fine, fine. i’ll help. “ she moved closer to help yank at his wet jeans.

though slightly blushing, he was relieved that his little slip up may have resolved even a sliver of tension from the air between them. at the mention of raina’s grandmother, he gave the first real smile he’s given anyone today. 

“i know the feeling. my momma says the same thing with me and my brother. gotta visit home from time to time.” 

he lifted the basket to her eye level. “do chips count? i’m no chef, you know that.” eddie joked.

   raina laughed, she looked over the chips with a very serious look before nodding at the selection. 

    “ i think those will do. but maybe next time, something besides snacks? i know you at least can make pancakes. “ 

     there was something about his slight blush that made her stomach drop, as if she had dropped off a rollercoaster. it was familiar but spooked her nonetheless. 

     “ your mom has much more right, doesn’t she? you’re always traveling. at least, that’s what i heard. “

Zander only laughed and easily wiped the water off his face with his hand. “And here I thought you cared about me. I’m completely heartbroken I hope you’re happy.” He tries pouting, but he isn’t able to keep a straight face before he’s cracking up laughing once again. “Suppose I better join you,” he says as he to tries to shimmy out of his jeans.

     “ i think you can manage to fix your heart. “ raina grinned, tugging off her shirt as well and tossing it out. “ i can’t imagine anything worse right now then having to pull wet denim off my body. how man would you be if i pushed you over? “

Zander barely had enough time to get out of the way before Raina resurfaced where he’d been only seconds before. “Wow, that was a close call for me. Your big butt landing on top of me might have actually taken me out.” He laughs before walking over to her, only slightly hesitant that she would try to murder him for ruining her hair. “I wouldn’t really call it swimming since I can touch the bottom with no problem.”

    “ oh shut up, “ she complained, splashing water at him. “ you’re the worst. you can drown in only an inch of water. “ with a huff, raina wiggled till she managed to yank off her skirt and toss it out of the water. “ already that’s way better. “

eddie didn’t know how much could change when he walked into that one god club meeting. for years he thought that maybe him and raina were just..done. that maybe the only interaction they’ll have is through social media or ‘a friend of a friend saw her in that place’ and ‘isn’t she your ex?’ kind of questions from curious people. he switched the basket he was holding from his left hand to his right. he’d been thinking of what to talk about for the last few minutes, trying to find one that could maybe last more than a few answers. he was relieved when she spoke up first.

“yeah, cherries are great. gotta love that fruit.” he found himself answering, voice going up a slight pitch at fruit, silently cringing shortly after. really? gotta love that fruit?

     raina can’t help the snicker that slips out, it’s just so incredibly awkward the way eddie says fruit- it reminds her of the first time they ever met, almost eight years ago. the way she had giggled and got giddy over every word he said to her. she shifts in place anxiously, nodding.      “ my gram will be happy, she’s always complaining i never bring gifts by anymore. says i’m too busy to visit her. “        it went unspoken about why raina was so busy, it was hard to act like everything was okay when your world was suddenly flipped upside down.       “ did you, uh, get anything to bring for the next meeting? “

[rcinyday]

pxsxidxn·:

“You’re threatening me with a good time, too bad I’m like the only person you probably wouldn’t be able to drown no matter how hard you tried.” He laughs and begins giving her leg gentle tugs in the hopes that she would lose her balance all on her own self and fall in with him. 

  raina went to come back with a snarky retort when her other foot slipped and she went tumbling into the pool with a shout. she quickly resurfaced, brushing her wet hair out of her face. “ zander you are so incredibly dead, “ she said between laughs. “ how do you swim with all these clothes on? it feels awful. “

closed starter for @argnaut !!

    raina had expected to never see eddie again once he graduated, she knew he was traveling now and she was busy herself with the kids. however, apparently she wasn’t the goddess of luck because he had walked into the god club one day and was introduced as jason reincarnated- that same meeting she had said she was going to the bathroom and then climbed out the window to head back home. she avoided talking to him for awhile, but, here they were. stuck in the same grocery store line and she knew she couldn’t keep quiet for the next ten minutes.       “ did you see that sale on cherries? almost bought the whole shelf. “

    raina stared down the other guy from her hiding spot from behind the tall display of “ make your own nut packs “ in the whole foods. she had tracked him through the pressed juices, had seen him scoff at the organic chips before he stopped in the aromatherapy aisle. he had been standing there for at least ten minutes when she finally got up the nerve to approach him. raina glanced around to make sure there was no one around before she spoke.         “ you’re in the club, right? the god one? “ she whispers.

“I knew my dream of making the US Olympics team was still alive and breathing. Lucky for you I left it in my bag or you’d owe me a new phone.” He grins mischievously up at her and before she can pull away he takes a hold of her ankle. “Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t just pull you in here with me.”

   raina almost stumbles, holding her balance on one leg and she laughs. “ if you pull me in, i will personally drown you with my bare hands, “ she threatens. “ i spent like at least fifteen minutes curling my hair for class today and if i didn’t let a toddler ruin it, i won’t let you. “ 

[rcinyday]

“I know what you’re going to say, ‘But Zander it’s not skinny dipping if you don’t take your clothes off first’ to which I’ll just tell you ahead of time that I was trying to take my shoes off and I somehow ended up losing my balance and falling into the pool fully clothed. Don’t judge me, I’m sure it’s happened to other people before me.” He calls out wiping water out of his face so he can make out who’s judging him from the edge of the pool. 

        raina grins, staring down at zander from the edge of the pool. “ well, i really hope you didn’t have your phone on you. i don’t carry rice in my backpack anymore. “ she raised her foot slightly, wiggling it in the air. “ you’re welcome for that little help in losing your balance. “

here’s my bi ass rainbow kid !!

[ NAOMI SCOTT, SHE/HER]  RAINA DAYY aka IRIS has been a member of the God Club for SEVEN YEARS. This time around they are TWENTY EIGHT years old and a/an PRESCHOOL TEACHER. They ARE NOT devoted to returning to Olympus because MORTALS ARE SO MUCH MORE FUN AND ACCEPTING. Currently they only possess the power of RAINBOW MANIPULATION.

raina basics 

was born and raised by her grandmother and her aunt, the only child out of her grandmother’s kids. 

tbh they considered raina the miracle baby, the only grandchild out of all seven kids- as if they had been cursed and she was the sun poking out from the clouds. 

because of this, raina was incredibly sheltered- given almost everything she asked for, learning very little about the hard times in the world. you know how in the sitcoms, every night the family closes out around the dinner table laughing? that was raina’s house, her, her aunt, and her grandmother all eating together, acting as if every issue had been solved 

however, when raina graduated university she was hit with a bomb that she had to keep secret from them- she apparently was a goddess, reborn and that’s why she could make rainbows dance out of her fingertips. 

now, she lies to her grandmother about where she ducks off to when she’s really attending god club meetings- trying to figure out who she once was. 

iris basics

the messenger to the gods & considered the link between heaven and earth

wore a rainbow cloak that she used to form and manipulate rainbows 

had a beautiful set of wings and was married to the god of the west wind, they had a son named pothos 

she was often seen as the link between god and humanity, sending them messages and delivering prayers.
