If she wasn’t mistaken it sounded as if he was acting far too cheeky - the sly tone in his voice giving off a sexual vibe she wasn’t expecting. was it her stern aggression towards him? he showed signs of feeling lascivious after her small outburst - guessing she sparked a different atmosphere.
‘ Well this ‘Beautiful Maiden’ would tend to you more often if you weren’t as stubborn - you may be big and strong but your wife can see through it all since you’re a big softy underneath it all, my lascivious husband. ‘
a simple chuckle left her lips, she thought he was simply hilarious in his own way making him more unique than the gods that reside above in Olympus which drew him to her more but she knew his intentions especially since he was obvious when being flirtatious.
oh, he was CERTAINLY being flirtacious as she'd suspected, there was NO DOUBT about that. her response only helps in BRIGHTENING the color of TURQUOISE GREEN ——— cooled in complexion by the GOLDEN CIRCLETS that encircle them, but all the more SPIRITED as he just watched her. he cannot help but chuckle LOVINGLY over her words, toned for the GENUINE of the moment as finger and thumb would BARELY reach over to skid along her chin in quiet affection, before he would continue to observe her with the wet cloth in her hands at the red crevises that would no doubt leave REMEMBERED SCARS.
❝ and now that YOU KNOW, i must plead that you try and not tell the whole lot that i am not as STONE - HEARTED as i appear to be — such could ruin my R E P U T A T I O N here, you know~ . . . ❞
something as soft as a HUM would vibrate harmoniously from his chest as his words would fill themselves with P L A Y F U L pleasantry almost ARTLESSLY. such would be his UNDOING one day, surely. hopefully, that day was not THIS DAY . . .
❝ SORRY, DARLING– Battle ran late. ❞
It is SO HER to make light of her situation– though that is aneuphemism, to say the least. There’s a bag over her shoulder, the rest FORGOTTEN in the midst of blood & quick feet– however, he is still standing right where she’d last seen him, as if nothing had changed ( no matter how much of a lie that was. )
❝ Make me a cup of tea ? ❞
at her words, he NO SOONER reveals a hidden hand with a STEAMING FRESH cup that still holds the tea contents within. it was near SECOND NATURE to sense the days when she'd arrive so suddenly after so long —— the days passed SO FAST, it was hard to keep count of how long they'd go without visiting one another after . . . DECADES. she was like the WIND, and he, the EARTH: no matter how far she would travel, letting TIME pass between them without word, he would ALWAYS be there in her days much like this one, smiling with an open home.
❝ i FIGURED you would a bit TARDY this time around. even gave me enough time to even make your FAVORITE SWEETS~. ❞
it seemed him something of a BEWILDERMENT , mairon rising from the formality of the bow , it seeming EXPECTED seeming as this was hephaestus’ domain , and respect ought be ACCORDED . like it was understood . they were a HUMBLE folk , world builders and fashioners of what gave nations TEETH and bones and claws . there was an ADMITTED and almost brotherly idolization , for too long mairon had almost BELIEVED that smiths were rare , especially in the houses of gods . his smile was WARM , almost as much as the coals within the PIT that would spark and smolder and spit at odd times . ‘ there is nothing to forgive , o’ fellow smith . but if you seek such restitution , perhaps we ought make remedy of this and fashion something at the forge fires whilst it is hot and the day yet upon us . would that suffice , perhaps , great hephaestus ? ‘
his words carried a MILD tease , not so much a rebuke as it was to make brittle any OFFENSES believed to have been gleaned . for mairon was FAR too much an avid thing , the swelter of the forge something so DAMNABLY attractive to him . such as the mystical look the eldar BESTOWED to the stars did he glimmer in an innocuous LOVE of what their sort did . he only hoped that the MASTER of this domain would not be so mollified . ‘ is it not because the forges are the last to hear of such things ? missions of diplomacy are for the diplomats ; we make fangs and claws during war and bones in times of peace to construct the cities . ours is hardly something of polity and diplomacy , wouldn’t you say ? ‘ ah , rebuke him not the EXCITED eyes that danced amid the forges !
the NEAR MORTAL of IMMORTAL senses an eagerness BURNING beneath that veil of FORMALITY presented to him from lip and tongue, and the forgemaster is rather PERPLEXED by this. to think, that ANOTHER was much as intrigued as himself by the VERY CRAFT that held the GLORY of EMPIRES upon their pedastals CENTURIES even after their fall – only able to be destroyed by the likes of those TOO IGNORANT to find the AGLELESS IMPRINTS left in the growing crags of STONE and chips of METAL. there would always be a BEAUTY in the things that kept the wheel BALANCED and FOREVER TURNING. IMMORTALITY had it’s riches of life, such is true but even then, the UNDYING can always be LEFT and FORGOTTEN . . .
the corners of drying lips would then CURL themselves into the MOST WELCOME of smiles, then – it is something of him that cannot simply be HELPED – as the other spoke on of their TIRELESS FOLK. he could almost laugh in GENUNE AGREEMENT over such, but he holds himself together out of MERE CONCERN such an act would be percieved as MOCKING and INSOLENT – things one as him would never do in the likes of HONORED COMPANY. it would always be HE that upheld the THRONE of SCORN for all others to denounce, he preferred it BETTER that way than for anyone else . . . ❛ i must say, i could not AGREE with you more. admittedly, it is rather REFRESHING to hear of another speak so PASSIONALTELY of the great artisans that we-so build in DARKNESS. such truly reminds me of better days, dearest guest~. ❜
DARE, the smith would NEVER HUMBLE such profound sentiment so openly poured before him, much to PERSONAL HESITATION of before. such LARGE FORM would send himself CLOSER, a cordial chuckle threatening to SPILL from him as ASHEN LIMBS would move to CLEANSE themselves of the work settled beforehand. but that never stopped the forges from SINGING their ABYSSAL FORTES into the ember-lit shroud. ❛ but you have CERTAINLY traveled FAR without doubt, NOBLE MAIRON. and as a supposed HOST, i only do so out of CONSIDERATION not to trouble you to such TEDIOUS WORK, much as i am sure that you will INSIST, but with an OPEN HOME and the vastest of FEAST and WINE upon your request within these HALLS. ❜
it wasn’t much of her nature to be aggressive and assertive but it was a fact that her husband was stubborn and had always been for as long as she could remember. His expression and empty response sparked inner excitement ― it was quite rare when she was able to leave him speechless.
❛ thank you. ❜
She grinned contently, quickly grabbing a nearby towel and wetting it partially with warm water then grabbing the gauze before walking towards him and dabbing his cuts clean - carefully placing the gauze on top.
❛ much better now ? you should allow me to clean your wounds more ― mr. stubborn. ❜
that SINGING SENSATION of the sterilization of his cuts would no doubt summon a pained, invisible HISS of inhalation between his TEETH. but the longer he GAZED at her, the less discomfort he felt ― as if the SIMPLE STUDY of her NUMBED the irritation ―― in the meantime, he'd just watch in this one - sided silence. he was almost TRULY CAPTIVATED until the sweet song of her VOICE would force him to blink in assumed concentration of her words. it took him a moment, to let the sentence PROCESS in his veiled daze, before an airy chuckle would leave him.
❝ mmm, 'tis true ― that it is not often i have a certain BEAUTIFUL MAIDEN tending to me so GRACIOUSLY . . . perhaps i should get into useless brawls with our relatives R E G U L A R L Y, just to have you like this~ . . . ❞
a light-coated tease of a purr would rise from him, along with the biggest of CHEEKY SMILES he could manage over at her, mischief written ALL OVER —— even in the crinkled shadows of his dimples as if HERMES himself had graced all the knowledge of SLY NATURE upon him in that single moment.
It is not habit that causes her to come to his forge, but her genuine affection for him. Compared to the rowdier of their siblings, Hephaestus was much more enjoyable. So, easily Hebe would linger around him, and each time she would bring something for him to drink. “I do believe you are overworking yourself, brother.”
❝ ——— AH, thank you, dear sister . . . ❞
a single, monstrous hand would come to GENTLY accept the offered beverage displayed in her grasp. he enjoys her visits more than he would admit ALOUD, and perhaps that is due to the simplicity of her company as a whole. he never felt LOCKED when it came to conversation —— CAGED to either deal with the lingering familial drama at hand or combat in exhaustive taunts and snarls that would likely have the two going at it for HOURS on end. but with hebe, it was just the transparency of their little talks that allowed him to favor HER more than the others. for the most part, he felt as if they were EQUAL parts of this much BIGGER spectrum — not entirely pieces that would fit together so perfectly, but more - so that they were MIRRORED —— maybe even IDENTICAL, in some ways . . .
❝ OVERWORKING? or making PROGRESS, mm~ . . . ? ❞
❛ — Hephaestus. .you rarely let me do anything to you when you’re bleeding and beat up. YOU WILL let me clean your cuts, wine will come after. ❜
her rather AGGRESSIVE insistence leaves him, for once, SPEECHLESS —— brows HIGH in their surprise before they'd relax into that slow-growing SMILE, nodding humbly in agreement afterwards as he'd take a rather hesitant seat. a light huff of pain escapes him AGAINST his trying intentions —— though, of course, it couldn't be HELPED, despite it . . .

❝ ———— YOU’RE LATE~ . . . ❞
if you held me tight, I THINK I WOULD SIMPLY MELT INTO YOU. i would live inside of your arteries and never leave your heart. and every time you would hear your heart beat, it would be me saying: ❝ please do not let me stain your sleeves, or your bathtub, or anywhere at all. please do not spill me out —— I NEED YOU MORE THAN YOU’LL EVER KNOW. ❞ - k . p . k
❛ Ah, yes. Ares is a lot more experienced in being physical than some. Are you alright? Let me clean you up. ❜
❝ i'll be alright . . . it's nothing some BRIEF GAUZE and WINE can't handle . . . and i might need a DRINK here in a few moments, heh~ . . . ❞
The electricity running through his veins were sparked from the rush of freedom; oh, how his wife knew how to punish him for his sins ( PLAYFUL as they were ).
❝ Yeah, thanks again for that. I should bring it to you more often, shouldn’t I? It’s getting worn out. ❞
He sent the other an apologetic smirk as he realized he had abandoned that poor blade over the years when it came to its maintenance. Good thing Hephaestus always seemed to be able to fix whatever piece of trash the gods brought him.
the only thing the smith was able to mirror with him was a simple SMILE of UNDERSTANDING and a light shrug of his shoulders, peaks looking as though they had been WROUGHT —— or more likely, CHIPPED from the very throned mount they settled themselves upon.
❝ SURE, i wouldn't mind. you're welcome to bring it around anytime. it's not as though i've got anything BETTER to do, anyways, heh. ❞
he would never know the FULL EXTENT of what lengths his former consort would go to to drive the poor death god to his LIMIT ( and frankly GLAD of that very fact ) —— but he did know the OTHER WAYS she was capable of in terms of inflicting TORMENT upon others, and even her peers as well. it was one of her few GREATEST SKILLS, after all. but that would be something the lame god himself would NEVER admit to in this life . . . or maybe even the NEXT . . .
'I want the K' // oOps.
#20. the love kiss. || send me ‘I want the K’ and I’ll use a number generator to write a drabble about my muse kissing your muse.
he had been working the blueprints before the FIRST RAYS of helios’ chariot had even graced the once-dark sky and all of it’s stars that began to fade away one by one into the VEIL that would be day. TEETH MARKS etch all along the pencil that lightly tapped against divot of his lips, synced in a pattern of simple rhythms as shadowed, sea-green eyes would repeatedly go over the series of parchments that slid between index and thumb. he is LOST in the clouds again of his own mind ——— and perhaps if you looked close enough, you could see the COGS and WHEELS spinning together in harmonic unison as what was left in his physical state remained still on the temple lounge chair. it is a most INTERESTING sight to behold, indeed . . .
and then he FEELS it, the delicate touch that starts from the PEAKS of his shoulders and later begins to descend to the MOUNDS of his chest, and it is the only thing that allows him to return. he’d glance up to see her, CONCERN etched in the smallest corners of her visage likely in regard of himself. but perhaps, no words were NEEDED in the knowledge that neither remained SURPRISED, and both would simply CHUCKLE in the light of the moment.
he’d watch her lean down ——— SO CLOSE, but still, UNTOUCHED — with the silence that was only filled by the long, even breaths exchanged between them. PAIRED SERVANTS would pass them, ghosting the background of the smith’s pantheon, their whispers of them barely even able to pick up in the ACOUSTICS that lined the marble walls. they WONDERED, if the two simply talked through the conversion of their thoughts, if such PHENOMENA were true between FATE-LINKED SOULS . . . ? one may never know . . .
the moment ends with a TENDER KISS he plants along the plain of her brow, waiting a few moments before he’d remove himself, allowing her help for him to stand once more on his feet before the two would walk slowly together into the candlelit hall . . .
❝SUIT YOURSELF, HEPHAESTUS. —though i’m sure aglaea wouldn’t mind you being more O P E N to these sorts of things.❞
❝ i don't even think SHE'D be as open minded to the idea of me as a half-naked firefighter . . . which is COUNTER - INTUITIVE, now that i think about it . . . ❞
“ please, do NOT tell He-um, the QUEEN, that you’ve spotted me.” that’s the request that comes from the cramped space set between a toolbox && some form of rusted metal poles. a small wave pf her hand && the demigoddess is attempting to shoo him away.
( probably not the best way to treat a god, but y’know — )

“ fair-cheeked Aglaea, from whose eyes as she glanced flowed love that unnerves the limbs: and beautiful is her glance beneath her brows.“
