- Hermes would love to show you the world. He’d always take you on cute and romantic dates in exotic and isolated areas of the world whenever the two of you had the time (but because of how fast he is you may feel a little dizzy or sick at times). Quality time for Hermes is worth more than anything that could ever be given between the two of you - except for physical touch of course.
- He tries his best not to come across as too overpowering or daunting for you, as he knows that most humans feel vulnerable in the presence of gods. He only ever visits you in his godly form when you ask him to and he purposefully slows himself down so that he can genuinely experience things with you and make things last as long as possible. Before he met you, it was almost as if he had entirely forgotten how to live at a normal pace.
- Hermes is actually very shy when its comes to romance and loving affection, he’s never committed himself to anything before and when he starts to it’s like something scary he’s never experienced. Because of this, your relationship together is painfully slow until the two of you decide that commitment is what the both of you truly want.
- No matter how long the two of you have been together - Hermes will try to hide you from Olympus for as long as possible. He knows how jealous the women up there can be (and the damage they cause when they feel that way) but he also wants to keep you away from everyone as he knows they’d purposefully try to take you away from him. Most of the gods see love as a game and find pleasure in competing to be better than the other. Also, you would be subjected to horrendous treatment due to being a mortal until you are granted immortality (or die first).
- Every time he comes to visit you he brings flowers. You never know where he brings them from, and usually, he finds them on his travels (whenever he sees an exceptionally beautiful flower he thinks of you), and he feels that you should always be surrounded by the beauty of nature in a world that is industrial and destructive of the natural world. This is another reason why he’d prefer isolation over civilisation, but he would never ask you to move to somewhere remote for him unless he knew you wouldn’t mind.
- Hermes loves small touches - whether it’s grazes of the hands or him stroking your cheek during an intimate moment. He often finds himself getting lost in your eyes and his affection for him overwhelms him. Because of this, he gets quite emotional in front of you once he knows that he’s safe to do so, and he tells you things about himself and his feelings that he wouldn’t even dare to say out loud to another Olympian. Or sometimes he finds comfort in you when he needs to get away from their arguments and toxicity.
