Yandere!Zagreus x Good Shade!Reader Headcanons

❤ The journey to reach the surface was a long and arduous, filled with many trials and tribulations for the godling to face. Zagreus persisted undaunted, however. Well… Perhaps, a little daunted. The fields of Elysium had proven especially difficult, the Soul Catchers and spirits of Exalted Ones often overwhelming Zagreus and sending him down a one-way trip to the House of Hades. It was rather disheartening, making Asphodel and it's Bone Hydra seeming like a walk in the (dangerous, lava-filled) park in comparison. Though, with great effort and the help of more than a few boons from his family (and the spirit of a once great warrior), Zagreus had finally found himself at the maw of the colosseum. 

☠ Zagreus had faced the Minotaur, Asterius, before - an incredible fighter who had defeated the prince once in his many attempts to reach the end of Elysium. But now, Zagreus had to face of against Theseus, as well, who was… Unfortunately less polite than his bull companion. Looking around the entirety of the colosseum, Zagreus couldn't help but feel small. Everyone else was against him, cheering on the pair of heroes in their quest to defeat the godling. Just like always, most everyone was against him. Zagreus felt himself almost deflate, worn down by sudden pessimism, frustration, and exhaustion… Until a flash of red caught his eye.

❤ A sole blip of red amongst an ocean of blue. You leaned over the railing, wide smile on your face and starstruck look in your eyes as you and Zagreus locked eyes. For a moment, the godling completely froze as he took in your form. He swore the breath in his lungs escaped him for a moment. Below you hung a banner, a picture of him plastered on it, showing your support to the Prince of The Underworld. It was as though he was suddenly rejuvenated, ready to take on the two warriors, take on the world, take on anything. As the battle commenced, he dashed around the arena, dodging Theseus' spear and the swings of Asterius' are. Every moment he could, he'd stop to look back over to you, watching as you cheered him on, jumping up and down in excitement. Maybe it was just the adrenaline, but, it was exhilarating! Watching you, seeing you - his heart was beating so fast, his chest and face were so warm, so warm and light and- You. He didn't want to look away-! And in an instant, caught off guard, Zagreus felt the pain of a spear piercing him. The cheers and uproar of the colosseum went silent. Zagreus' vision went dark. He lost control of his limbs. And then, he climbed back to his feet, finding himself back in the Pool of Styx.

☠ Rather than feeling upset by his loss, Zagreus felt himself filled with renewed vigor for his quest… And to see you again, the good shade who filled him with such joy and confidence. Zagreus paid no mind to anybody else in the House of Hades, quickly racing off to begin another escape attempt. The young godling fought even faster than usual, trying to navigate the fastest route back up to Elysium - but this time, it wasn't solely for his want to reach the surface. It wasn't too long before he reached the colosseum once more, shades gathered around in excitement, waiting with baited breath for another match to begin, but Zagreus was here for you… And to reach the surface, of course!

❤ Zagreus fought hard and dodged as well as he could, trying to keep his focus on his two competitors. But, the prince couldn't help but sneak a glance back over at you when he felt himself able to rest momentarily. Your eyes were always on him, your smile so bright and radiant that he swore it would surely blind him. And he swore that, just above the uproar of the other spirits' voices, he could hear it - what must be your voice, cheering over and over, "Zag-re-us! Zag-re-us! Zag-re-us!" Oh, gods, his face went almost bright red at the thought. He hoped beyond hope that everyone assumed it was because of the strenuous battle. But, gods above, he felt… Absolutely smitten. Had anyone besides Nyx and Achilles been so unabashedly supportive of him? Oh, you were so sweet, so kind, so gorgeous, so-! Zagreus shakes himself off, standing in the Pool of Styx once more, frustrated and feeling more alone than ever.

☠ You were always on his mind, in every chamber, after every defeat, every moment he stood in his Father's House, during every fight with every enemy. You had burned yourself in his mind, branding yourself there. But, it didn't hurt. In fact, it felt so good to think of you, to indulge himself in fantasies of you, his Shade. His Shade. All his. That's why you had his banner, right? Why you supported him. He loved you for that. Because… You must love him, right? You knew he'd make it all the way to Elysium. You loved him. Supported him. Believed in him. You knew you were meant to be together. Oh, His Shade was so smart. It was you that gave him that strength to defeat Asterius, to dodge Theseus' spear and summons from the gods. It is you who gave him the strength to deal the killing blow to Theseus. Finally, a moment of rest. The colosseum boomed with noise, but Zagreus ran up to you, desperate to speak to you. He shouted up at you, hoping his expression and voice would convey his love for you, "I dedicate this victory to you, my Good Shade!" His good shade. Because that's what you are, right. His. Just as he is your champion. And when you smile so wide at him, eyes swirling with awe and what must be love, Zagreus can't help but smile back. He feels so warm and so light, like all of his problems had melted away, all thanks to you.

❤ When Zagreus is defeated within the Temple of Styx, Zagreus doesn't feel as frustrated as he imagined he'd be. Of course not. Another defeat would be another chance to see you, to see your smile, to win for you. So many attempts, so many victories dedicated all for you. But, eventually, it isn't enough. Of course, it's not. It isn't enough to see his beloved from afar and speak to you only occasionally. No. It's not fair. You must be as upset as he was. But, it's no matter. He's the prince, after all. He could pull a few strings, give the both of you your happy ending. You're so confused when you wash up into the Pool of Styx, covered in blood. The expression on your face is adorable, confused and a bit dazed - only to be replaced with shock as Zagreus quickly scooped you up into his arms, holding you flush to his chest. It's so hard to resist the urge to just nuzzle you close and smother you with kisses. He needs to hold back, to allow you time to calm down and explain what he had done - summoning you hear to the House, where you will now permanently stay. And besides, Father would probably throw a fit over such a public display of affection. So, Zagreus concedes to simply shushing you and softly explaining everything to you as you look around in confusion and squirm in his arms, him slowly carrying off to his, or rather, your shared room.
