♡ Just imagine, you're a girl living in Athens, coming from a simple family. One day, you were out in town, going to the markets to help your family with chores, not knowing someone was staring at you thinking he had just seen a goddess walking among the living;
♡ You had always heard about your beauty, how yours curves were perfect, how gentle and sweet you are.. but you never had a man like him staring at you like that;
♡ You didn't notice him staring at you, finishing your shopping and going back home, and obviously.. he followed you;
♡ It took him months, MONTHS, to have the courage to even speak to you. But during that time, you became his everything;
♡ He had spent months watching you, he'd tell himself it was to keep you safe, but he knew it was to satisfy that hungry beast inside him that craved you;
♡ Be it for fighting, winning battles or just the motivation to go home, you were his very muse, the one thing he craved more than anything, yet he had no way to get close to you.. or so he thought;
♡ Little by little, your family became involved with the cult, be it by coincidence or someone was pulling the strings after seeing how much he wanted you, you were now always close to Deimos, much to his preference;
♡ It took some time to get used to him and his, humm.. personality. We see in game how explosive he is, how mean and cruel he can be, so for a girl who had hardly ever seen blood before, it was a hard sight to swallow;
♡ From that moment on, you were always close to him, often deemed too innocent to be close to the other cultists, even kept from being close to your family, so Deimos was all you had now;
♡ It were some hard weeks until he began to soften around you. He began being calmer, kinder to you, treating you like the goddess he had always seen you as, specially after you patched him up after he came home beaten up from battle;
♡ Your kindness and gentleness with him, your patience and forgiveness, the care you gave him, it made him feel conflicted. He was the cults weapon, a hardened warrior, yet with you, he was Alexios, a man in love, a normal person;
♡ The moment you started having feelings for him, heavens, he was over the moon with happiness, knowing he may have won his darlings heart to himself, finally! Yet he was still Deimos, and he'd much rather take you as his than to try and court you, but he tried. Again, and again, and again, until he finally felt your lips on his, receiving the affection he so badly craved;
♡ You were his darling, his love, his muse, his reason to breathe, his motivation to keep going, his entire world, so to have your love? He felt like he had won the world;
♡ As a lover, he was possessive and overly protective, not accepting that there could be someone else ever wanting you, he'd kill any man who dared get too close to you, he didn't like to be ignored by you, he craved your attention and love all the time, more than in a normal relationship.. It wasn't a healthy love, it was obsession;
♡ The man craved you like a starved man craves food, most days you'd be sleepy and too sore to leave bed from how much time he'd spend loving you, making you see heaven beneath him as he made you his;
♡ It wasn't like he cared about his obsession, he knew was too deep now to let go. You were to became his wife and his only one, and nothing would stop him, not even the high members of the cult (let's say some of them tried and faced his sword, it wasn't a pretty sight);
♡ To the cult, you had no name. You were Deimos muse, the only woman who could calm his heart. And let's be fair? That was the only reason Aspasia even let him have you, since she had known from the beginning he was after you. She has eyes everywhere;
♡ She was the one behind your family joining the cult, since she planned on using you to keep Deimos alive for longer. Yet her plan bit her in the ass later on, when Kassandra had eliminated the cultists and killed her, finally freeing you and her brother from the woman's slimy grasp;
♡ Years had passed, and surprisingly.. He had changed. Still just as in love with you, but as Kassandra eliminated the cult and helped him find a sense of normalcy again, Alexios became a kind, gentle lover, now your husband, and treated you like you deserved, gave you everything and never stopped begging for your forgiveness for how he acted before;
♡ He brought you to his family, you two starting anew in Sparta as a married couple.. you had given him a second chance;
♡ But don't be fooled by it, that possessive beast was dormant, but it didn't take much to wake it up.. But his love was too strong, and thankfully even that monster inside him couldn't resist your sweet affection.. No one can refuse the love of a goddess anyway.
𝐀/𝐍: I don't know if I like how this post turned out, the writing isn't to my standards, but I tried making Deimos sound a tad bit crazy for his darling (which in my eyes fits him perfectly), hope you guys like it anyway! - 𝐿𝓊𝓁𝓊🌷
