her words struck him deep && he held his breath, his smile fading as easily as it had appeared. raising a long hand, he tucked a few strands of persephone’s hair behind her EAR, enjoying the simply touch of her skin against his own, the way they seemed to be made to be together — how she was made for him && him, for her.
being away from her was always painful but he had work to do — too much work to do with things that not even persephone could understand. PERSEPHONE, beautiful && smart && understanding persephone; the love of his life. she was too inteligent not to know that hades’ job was not was simple as sitting in an office the whole day; he knew she knew sometimes he had to do things not everyone found acceptable && he knew she knew he loved it.
still, she never asked && he never told. && he wouldn’t change that now; it didn’t matter how much he found DEATH fascinating, didn’t matter how much he enjoyed things that made him a bad person — persephone didn’t deserve being involved with that. she didn’t deserve the danger && the dirt that would eventually come as soon as she knew of her husband’s dark side.
sighing before putting out his cigarette so he could hold his WIFE better, his lips pressing to the lines that had appeared on her face, trying to kiss away her frown. ‘ i know, my flower; i know. i’m tired too. i’ll make it up to you. — i’ll clear my schedule as soon as possible && we’ll travel somewhere you like. I PROMISE. ’
her voice was COLD all of a sudden. no matter how in love she was, she
was just as fierce and she did not like being put aside. stepping away from him,
leaving the warm embrace of his strong arms, persephone did not need to speak
for hades to know that she was unpleased.
for the most, she wasn’t very demanding. all she asked for was a little attention,
maybe flowers then and again but not much more. however even her patience
had limits and hades had more than reached it. he was barely home lately,
always late for their dates and mostly, she had to beg for attention. and that, she
could not STAND. hades usually always gave her more than she needed and
perhaps she’d gotten used to it for her to feel abandoned now that he didn’t.
‘ i’ve heard it before and i’m still waiting. ‘
