meme day ! kiss meme . open . @otherworldkings .
clotho observed the king of the dead draw near , she stayed perfectly still upon his closeness , the breath she inhaled catching the scent of cinder , smoke and the woods in his presence . she wasn’t sure what hades’ intention could be , but in any case , the fate was unflinching in her position . she didn’t budge , didn’t shrink nor did she take a single step back . there were things she kept hidden , locked away like pandora’s box should’ve remained had zeus not gotten curious with it ; truth was , she craved intimacy , and anything that could ever possibly resemble that , clotho welcomed . strange bedfellows that made , but that only meant her curiosity could be quelled . curiosity and thirst to quench .
someday perhaps she’d be kissed in the way the humans sang about , in the way she knew other deities were kissed , craddled in someone’s arms with sheer sweetness to behold , but for now , clotho settled for the scraps of another’s games . that was hades . that was hades , now , closing the distance between them after she’d only answered in riddles . hades , now , pressing his lips against her own . clotho hung to the look in hades eyes , to the way he’d smiled before leaning into her - a game , a game , a game - . and though her own eyes fell shut for a fleeting second , like a maiden upon her first kiss , the fate clung to the sardonic spite in the dead god’s eyes . none of that would ever be real . clotho remembered persephone . none of that would be real . so she waited , completely still , having caught her breath and regained control over her eyes so she could open them again .
trying to appear calm , untouched , the moirai waited for the king of the undead to part away from her . she didn’t return the kiss , didn’t lose her dignity into a kiss that would melt her senses . no , she waited . she let the god kiss the lips of fate , and in that , she let the god have what he wanted . then , clotho smiled the smile of a child . “ hades , darling dearest , “ as his lips broke away from hers , she spoke . spoke with glib in her eyes , spoke letting the less humane parts of her seep out once again like not many times as of late . “ did you see what you wanted ? did you get away with it ? “ a deranged person , a child , or both . denied , humilliated , but she clung to her pride .
