Maleficent and Hades in Life is sweeter (Chibi Tiny Tales)

The Light (an Hadeficent oneshot)

The next oneshot is translated with google translator. I'm sorry if there are any syntax errors or incorrect words.

Darkness surrounds him, consuming him as if it were creeping up his skin, enveloping him until it becomes a mask. He hears nothing, or at least that's what it seems like, because he has grown so accustomed to the distant echo of his father's heartbeat that it seems normal to him.

The walls that imprison him pulsate, sometimes stretching, sometimes squeezing. He is only a baby who has barely become aware of his own body and its movements when he realizes that he cannot escape, but that he is not alone.

So the echoes of Cronos' organs are not the only thing that he identifies. Amidst that darkness, a chorus of voices barely able to survive laments and cries out for mercy.

He has never seen the light, but he still yearns for it. He longs for freedom as if he had once had it. He is just a child when, amidst the darkness to which he and his sisters have become accustomed, the cry of another child appears.

He feels the heat of the stomach acid threatening his feet, but that imbecile doesn't dare to digest it, doesn't dare to kill his son. He doesn't want that, he doesn't want him dead. He wants him alive, only trapped in his stomach so he can remind him of how fragile and useless his simple existence is.

And even though this reality appears only in his memory, in the real world his physical body is sweating, twisting insistently under the weight of his imagination. He can't open his eyes, he can't wake up, he can't free himself.

He squeezes the sheets, curls up into a fetal position, and suddenly his face begins to be bathed in tears that he cannot control. The sobs begin to become wails that increase as he feels how that darkness destroys him from the inside and fills him with helplessness.

He is about to scream until he becomes hoarse when, in the midst of all the darkness, Hades manages to find a light and a voice that tells him that he has to wake up.

Maleficent knows him, she's been sleeping next to him sporadically for months. And although she's not the most romantic or tender person out there, for him she can put those appearances behind.

She hugs him as tightly as she can, repeating over and over that it's just a dream, that he is not and will not be locked up anymore. She kisses his cheek insistently, strokes his hair and takes his hand, imploring him to return with her to the present.

The sweetness in her voice calms him and she moves to the other side of the bed to be a prisoner of his body. She puts her face close to his heart, being careful with his horns, and listens to how his tachycardia decreases little by little.

After what seems like an eternity for both of them, he wakes up, suddenly coming back to reality.

Then he sees her, so present and so real, hugging him with such affection that it seems like their bodies are two halves that were made to meet.

He wants to thank her and ask her to stay forever, but the words get stuck in his throat. So he just hugs her as tightly as a child hugs his favorite toy and as he begins to fall asleep, he says an "I love you" that he knows is not enough to describe what he really feels for her.
