Let's be honest, attending the other gods was some how boring, more if it was for the gods of other regions. But yet you were the type to spend the time in your temple taking care of flowers. But all of the Gods had to attend the new event. Isis and Osiris were getting married. You knew them, actual you knew Isis well enough, she was loved by the citizen of Egypt. And you respected her too!
But sill, you didn't have much contact with the others, so, you had to make a good impression regarding the gift you would give. Both Isis and Osiris were always simple, but the idea of you gifting your flowers was hunting you. You spent hours walking around the temple for the perfect gift and it finally came up. Fine fabrics with excellent gold accessories.
You were last, the other gifts were more than breathtaking. You walked with the servants behind caring the gift you brought, Anxiety was eating you alive. When you walked past Seth you noticed how he lifted his head up, his eyes well hidden under the jackal mask. His behavior didn't help much, instead it made you more nervous. You looked up to Osiris and Isis sitting on their thrones.
"Osiris, Isis. My gift were meant to accompany you through your happiest moments." You did something that the other gods wouldn't dare since Ra was attending too. “I’d like if you would wear them at your wedding, Isis” she didn’t spoke but her expression said it all, the corners of her lips stretching into a soft smile. You nodded happily and walked back to your spot, red ruby eyes followed you hiding under the mask while he’s facing straight in front of him.
Both Osiris and Isis stand up from the thrones. “It was a pleasure to have all of you here, and we are grateful for the gift that will be part of our life.” Osiris bowed down his head as Isis clenched her hands in front of here.
You also bowed since it was time to leave, unlike the others you were pretty solitary. You lived in the green of Egypt. Full forest hiding your temple was waiting you to go back.
You exchanged a few words with Shu and Hator, the young girl was full of love but yet to young to express it. It must suck to be the goddess of love but had to wait, that’s what you thought seeing Hator so happy for Isis and Osiris.
You walked outside to meet the warm sun up in the sky and sound of soft laughter that came from the inside. Seth was there resting against the pillar of the temple. You toke your veil ignoring his presence since he was looking away. You wore the veil to hide half of your face, nose and mouth. You walked with head down carefully placing your foot to the next stair.
“You think you can avoid me?” His voice was so calm but yet you could hear the sour meaning of his words.
You never been close to Seth, you had exchanged a few words in the past but it was alway in presence of the other gods, never alone. You had nothing against him, you knew about his bad temper from some careless chitchats but in front of you he never made his presence vivid, always observing everybody from afar.
You locked around in surprise, you never thought he would call for you attention. “Seth! I had no idea you were outside” you lied.
“It was getting to sappy…”
“Sappy? I swear the only things I could hear were Bastet crazy adventures” you chuckle.
You see him esitate for a second before he walks off from the pillar, a bit closer to you but his direction was somewhere else.
“Hator… she is starting again saying that I should hurry up and engage Nephitis..”
You had no idea you to break the tension, your left hand slowly pulling down the veil. “Well it’s about time, Seth!” You showed a big playfully smile saying that. He turned his head to your direction, his body was relaxed so we’re his words.
“Isn’t it time for you as well?”
You forgot how to breath, the big smile dropped down but you didn’t want to appear bothered by his words. “Nobody has fall for me yet, I guess!” You tried to make it funny but his serious face challenged you.
He didn’t say anything, he just turned and walked inside leaving you speechless on the stairs. You bit your lips hopping he didn’t get offended by your answer from earlier. After fixing the veil back on you walked anxiously to your temple, the only things that made you forget all those troubling thoughts were the offerings that were left at your altar. You sat there next to them, the fresh breeze of the young night caressed you sensible skin giving you goosebumps.
“Love, love, love… what a strange thing.” You lay on the cold stoned floor. “Scary I’d say.”
Birds chips woke you up, a tall figure standing in front of you making your heart skip a bit. You had fallen asleep in the temple.
“Bastet! You scarred me, I thought you were-“
“Hurry! Hator is going insane!!” She grabbed you forearm trying to make you stand on your feet but you were to confused to let her succeed.
“What it supposed to mean!?” You grabbed your head crown from the floor, you stood up fixing your robe.
“She said Isis and Osiris are already going on a crisis.”
You scoffed, Hator was known for her stupid assumptions.
“Bastet…”
“Let’s go!”
Like you though the air calm and there was no serious crisis going on… you spoke to Isis and sounded convincing. Since you been were there for a few minutes after a long run with Bastet, you sat in their garden trying to give some life back to some flowers they received the day before. Just about to convince yourself that was time to leave, you spot Seth dozing off against a pillar surrounded by plants and a flower hitting his mask at rhythm of the wind, you chuckled. You walked closer kneeling down in front of him trying to hold your laugh. You fix the flower direction away from the mask that a second after made you startled, so he did at the sight of your hand past his face but close enough to smell your floreale odor.
“Oh- sorry.” You stood up too fast making your head spin. He was looking up and the mask was no longer hiding his soft features. You have seen him multiple times but that was different.
“I thought it would be centuries before we met again.”
You take a few steps back with such embarrassment, it was true, you were one of the main figures in Egypt and you should’ve be more present around the other gods. His response didn’t make you feel ashamed but, you felt wrong. A weight on your chest you could never get rid of…
“Right.. Bastet and Hathor just worried me about-“
“Please I don’t want to hear a bit more of this story…. I had to hide in the flowers!” He pinched the bridge of his nose still grumbling something so quietly.
“Is there something wrong with the flowers?” You acted so offended in a jokingly way.
“Not at all, I’m actually intrigued by flowers.” You saw that grin on his face he only used to annoy Hathor or Bastet.
You groaned as you rolled you eyes but the second you locked back at him, he was watching so quietly with such serious expression.
“Then you should know you must not sit on the flowers!”
He immediately stood up like you just yelled at him but you just teased so gently.
“I-I wasn’t.”
“I know…” you turned with a mocking smile wandering in the well cured garden.
He walks behind you looking here and there at the different flowers and plants like he was really interested in them..
“It must be nice for you to be away from here.”
“Well, i love being there but everything I go back after spending some time with the gods, I do feel lonely sometimes.”
You look up the sky, orange and some blue already mixing in the sky. It was time for you to go.
“Stop with this little game of yours!” You chuckle as you’re hand pushed him so lightly. “Stop pretending like you know something about plants…” you turned just to miss the movement of his hand reaching were your hand just touched his so lightly, on his heart.
“I must go…”
“Stay.” You look at him so confused by how quickly he responded. “Didn’t you just say you felt lonely to go back after being with the other gods? I bet Bastet and Hathor wouldn’t mind it” he looked so proud “ and I won’t here any of their nonsense for once.”
“And leave all the prayers-“
“You can leave tomorrow morning, Isis and Osiris won’t take it personally.”
You did stay and also… Bastet and Hator haven’t showed up once!
You suited yourself in a chamber, enjoy the silence and the fresh breeze that balcony offered you.
But someone was getting all your attention. Seth was really walking around he garden sometime letting his eyes on you as he pretended not to see you, so you did. But there was a smile you couldn’t keep secret, a smile that you tried to hide by turning around. You couldn’t take it longer as you watched him about to touch the lotus that bloomed in the fountain.
“It’s poisonous, so poisonous that you could actually die.” You watched his hand pull back in speed of light. He locked up speechless and you could see a hint of embarrassment in his expression that made you feel bad. “I was only joking..”
“I know. I was just taken aback by your sudden presence.” He made your heart twist in you chest.
“It’s actually my favorite..” you cupped one of your check resting your elbow on the balcony edge.
His mask move back as he looked you showing his red ruby eyes that you wished you’ll never forget. His hands never been to gentle before when he picked that lotus, his legs dissolved into sand just so he could reach the balcony with the small mountain of sand he had formed. He sat on the edge on your left and handed you the flower.
“Keep it in your hand” your cupped his hand with yours “They are very dedicated but also so strong.. you know their seeds can survive thousand of years and still able to bloom.”
When you looked at him you noticed his eyes were already looking at yours, did he even look at the flower? His left hand reached his mask, he toke it off, he was fast to place it on your head just like he wears it, but it was slightly big for you that almost your face was covered you were about to reach it with your hand but he held it, the lotus fell in between and with his free hand he pulled the nose of his mask just to let your lips collide together. Such a delicate but love full sentiment.
He broke the kiss pulling the mask back making your face more visible. “This flower is just like you.” You felt it, a feeling that put you at ease and made your heart beat fast but it also felt like a pang to the heart, there was already someone that loved him.
“Seth…”
“No! You’re the person who can make me bloom…” the mask fell at his feet when he got off of the balcony edge next to the fallen lotus, resting on the cold floor.
“They won’t allow it. You must marry your sister-“ you stop talking because he bumped his forehead against yours, you could never think of analyzing those ruby eyes up close, you never thought something could spark between you two.
“I can’t!” You pushed him away, he stopped his foot on the flower ruining it like your expressions were ruined by tears. You couldn’t stay longer, you can get fooled by his words, you had to go.
You walked out the chamber in tears but he wasn’t a coward, he did follow you. He reached you hand but he couldn’t hold it for long, you snapped it away. He respected you. He stopped, he stop in the middle of the hallway watching you leave with tears in your eyes that he has caused.
The temple was empty almost abandoned. It had rained for days in Egypt, in the desert too making it not so rare to happen. The plant and flowers of Egypt were dying slowly, the warm weather of spring had been forgotten by people from the constant tears you had cried in the past days. You sat on the floor, head resting on the throne listening to the prays of the farmers from their houses begging you to not ruin their crops. Seth… he wasn’t seen by the other gods, always by himself in pain causing sandstorms in the desert at the sight of rain. He knew he was alone. Not even kids have showed up at your temple, they used to come by everyday with the prettiest flowers they found around the temple in their hand. You knew though that someone was about to show up in the temple, you stood up and dried your tears it would be a shame if they caught you in that mess.
“My dearest goddess what is making you so sad.” The old priestess stepped inside, it was hard for her to walk be her devotion could stop her at all.
“Priestess… you did not have to come all the way here, I listen to your prays everyday from your home.” You knelt down, you done something that a god should never do towards a human.
“Little broken soul..” she caressed your face, the gentle touch made you relax, thing you couldn’t do in the past days. “I don’t have long to live, will I be able to see your happiness again?”
“Oh dear.. I’ve done things. I will be punished and my people are going to hate me.” You caress the hand with which she supports herself with a cane.
“My dearest goddess there’s no such thing, remember a poor mortal words.” She cupped your cheek and then she fixed your hair. “There is no such painful punishment when you’re loved.”
“Your people never stoped praying, they are not mad at you. We are concerned.” Her words made tears fall down your cheeks, the tears you ran out for the constant pain. “I’m expecting the spring when I wake up.” Her hand that held your face was gone, she walked to the statue that resembles you and lit up the incense, she didn’t leave before a pray.
You were left alone playing with the smoke of the incense the old priestess lit up. You had stopped crying, you felt tired and hurt, such feelings weren’t easily felt by gods. You were weak.
You closed your eyes and toke a break, you could no longer hear the prays or just your heart pounding so slowly, it was lonely. The temple was too quiet and cold, you didn’t even have the force to promise to the priestess to bring back the spring.
“Y/N!”
You barely open your eyes, it was Seth dripping water from the rain. He ran towards you. You stood up and turned around in shame, you wished nobody would see you in such state.
“Please, leave..”
He grabs your arm and makes you turn around in surprise. “You’ve been crying!” He knew, he knew you had been crying. He just fooled himself that you were okay, that you were not hurt.
“We’ll hurt the people if we go against the rules, I wasn’t made to love.”
“It’s not possible, because those days you’ve been gone I realized that I fell for you-“
“Seth I fell for you too, It toke me so much time to realize that I’m not made to be alone, that I also want to be loved… but it means to hurt someone other than me.” He cupped your cheeks shaking his head in disbelief, his red hair sticking out from his mask, he was soaked.
“You talk nonsense.” He kisses you holding your face tight you couldn’t escape, it didn’t hurt. You felt loved.
He breaks the kiss. “I know lotus do not live long once they bloom but I’m asking you to stay, and let me love you forever.”
