( 𝓓O NOT DISTURB ) 𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗯𝗶𝘀 𝘅 𝗳𝗲𝗺!𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗿. ᯽ sfw +++ fluff. the god of death can't stay quiet when he is so happy to have his wife in his arms.
it’s quiet, suspiciously quiet, that you start to wonder what's happening in the outside world, even if you are still in dreamland.
sitting in ANUBIS's lap, comfortably settled while your head rests against his chest, as he hums under his breath, claws tracing lazy shapes on your thighs, rocking you slightly as you enjoy the peace for once. eyes closed, napping on your lover's body, brain empty, finally relaxing, and then...
“aaaaaaa—!!!”
you have never woken up so fast that you jolt so hard you nearly headbutt him. “wha–!?” you shout, head spinning and looking around because surely no one is going to surprise attack you or try to fight with mister jackal head over here.
his eyes go wide, a bright and sharp toothy grin shows on his face, and you imagine a puppy tail wagging at catastrophic speed from excitement because, believe it or not, he is basically vibrating with joy.
“i'm happy!” he yells proudly, and his hands gripped your legs tighter as his golden claws dig in, and you were so used to the pain that you didn't even feel it. “i just remembered that i'm happy, so so so sooo happy~”
“you screamed in my ear.”
“i'm sorry, i'm sorry! i forgot you were resting...”
"i am..." you say carefully, lips thinning, an eye twitching despite yourself, "...going to destroy you.”
anubis blinks once, then he laughs loudly, booming with the same voice that guides souls into the afterlife. his chest vibrates against your back as he tightens his hold, thick arms wrapping around you like iron bands, all carved muscle and divine warmth. shiftting his weight and suddenly you’re bouncing slightly on his lap, entirely at his mercy.
“cuddles for my lovely wife!” he chants happily, voice lilting, almost reverent, like a prayer murmured at an altar, “stay, stay, stay, stay with me!”
you sag against him, exhausted, the contrast of who he is as a god, a ruler of the underworld, cloaked in jackal-headed legends and funerary rites, reduced to this hyper, affectionate menace with biceps that could crush stone and a grin too wide to take seriously.
“anubis,” you warn, deadpan, not even turning your head. “if you yell again, i will leave and never come back, and no, i don't care that we are married.”
“oh...” he straightens immediately, nodding far too fast. “then i will be quiet! so quiet you won’t even know i’m alive!” leaning with lips brushing near your ear as he whispers the promise, hopeful and earnest, like a child trying desperately to behave.
you sigh, so tired and defeated, but finally, not a single sound comes out of his mouth; he nods furiously again as if sealing a sacred vow when silence falls. you can rest without worrying about getting disturbed again, because a happy wife means a happy life.
“i love, love, love you~!"
not even three seconds as you groan and bury your face in his chest. “i can't with you sometimes..."
“but you’re still sitting on me,” your husband says smugly, and unfortunately, you are still in his lap. he beams, pressing a kiss to the top of your head, arms locked around you like a victory prize. humming happily, rocking slightly, like an overgrown puppy who just got told he’s allowed on the couch.
this time, he actually stays quiet... for almost a whole minute, but hey, that's a new record.
When Zeus takes interest in your pantheon being a goddess of beauty, a certain God of the Dead gets protective hearing about many of the old God's spicier exploits.
(Adding in some real Greek Pantheon lore here. F/r stands for Fake Religion to go along with the story.)
@colourstreakgryffin
The next round of fighting would've been starting up soon whenever that may be, you weren't really very interested in fighting for, with, or against anyone else really but a few other of your acquaintances and friends were trying to get picked so you only really went to cheer them on and maybe meet gods from other pantheons with similar situations to yours being the goddess of love and beauty from where you were from.
You did happen to meet one goddess of similar stature to yours. A goddess by the name of Aphrodite from the Greek Pantheon. She was as beautiful and kind as the rumors around her had said and in turn she offered to introduce you to more God's from her pantheon. Seemed fairly innocent to you. Diana, goddess of the moon and hunt, was also very kind. Dimitir was also very kind being the sister to Zeus,one of the very well known gods for the rounds of fighting and that's how you were somehow introduced to the older God himself.
"My, my! Who do we have here! Aphrodite have a daughter she never told me about?~", the older God teased giving you a wink to which you giggled in turn.
The sight of you talking to Zeus had caught the attention of one god in particular who hummed under his breath and raising a brow curiously. "You know I'm surprised you're not more concerned about your lover speaking to Zeus all alone."
The eyes gestured to one figure of tan skin and more desert styles clothing to suit the archetype of the scorching hot sand dunes and scarce waters. Of course the usual peppy God didn't seem to take notice of the slight concern directed to him by the Buddha and was more nervous happily sinking his fangs into a giant turkey drumstick in his hands, one of the many, many, MANY food items provided by the hosts for the giant recent victory celebration. The delicious taste of tenderized meat slowly cooked with spices melted in his house deliciously as he turned back to Buddha cheeks full with a curious hum.
The other God sighed in turn. "I said I'm surprised that you're perfectly alright with letting your lover speak to Zeus all by her lonesome." Slowly picking up a goblet of wine, he took a few sips. "Really, Anubis. I knew death was your entire reputation but I had no idea you were deaf to your surroundings as well."
The jackal God said nothing but took a bigger bit of the turkey leg nearly finishing it before leaning back to stretch his neck and peer through the crowd of God's past Cernunnos and Gaia speaking of how they mold the earth for their followers' crops to yourself and Zeus still speaking of something. ... Before he shrugged and turned back to continue eating his meal.
"Seebs mwine ta me," he said between bites making Buddha sigh again next to him.
"How could you go THIS long without hearing the stories? Hers is always telling everyone she who'll listen."
"Listen to what?" He finally scarfed down the rest of the turkey before kicking his lips and reaching out for a giant pitcher of wine.
"Zeus has a rather.. Let's just say flirtier reputation amongst women both mortal and God alike."
"Huh?" Anubis tilted his head not unlike a curious pup blinking at him.
"The mortals refer to that kind of reputation as him being a womanizer, Anubis. As in a man whom loved women so much that he'll go around loving LOTS of them. Many lovers as some might say."
A glass shattering sound went off in the jackal god's mind. Eyes blown out wide open and that wide smile frozen on his face as Buddha just sipped his wine watching the wheels turn in that head of his. Slightly amused by the expression he had on his face.
"Your lady dearest is Y/n right? Goddess of love and beauty from the F/r Pantheon? She is rather lovely. Oh, yes. Many a man would try to woo her. I'm sure Zues would be no exception for that given his...'liking' for beautiful maidens."
It was then a growl went off from the God of Death's throat and the table likely shook from how abruptly he shot up to his feet with a feral look in his eyes. "Would you please excuse me for a moment?"
"By all means."
He wasn't about to get between an angry god and their target..Well at least not until he was chosen for the next round. You however were unaware of the angry man quickly approaching you from behind as you discussed what your temple looked like with Zeus who seemed very interested in what the F/r temples of worship were like and what duties your priests and monks had to run said temples. It was all boring talk really but the old god seemed to find interest in it.
You nearly jumped out of your formal dress when suddenly a sharply clawed hand wrapped around your shoulders and pulled you against an otherwise overly smiling face. "Hey my lil scarub! My beautiful flower! My absolutely wonderful love! I had no idea you'd be here too! WHAT A COINCIDENCE!!"
You finally looked up at who was holding you. "Anubis."
"Hello my darling!" He then proceeded to pepper your face in a rapid fire of multiple kisses before nuzzling his cheek to your head. "I missed you SO MUCH! And I love you SO MUCH!!"
"Um.." your brow rose at the odd behavior. "I love you too."
"Oh. Hello, Anubis," Zeus greeted politely, "I didn't know you two knew each other."
"Yep! We'll be a couple a thousand years now on our upcoming anniversary which I never forget! She's the only gal for me anywhere!" You rose a brow higher noticing the oddly very strained smile on his face. "And I know I'm the only guy for her! We were thinking about getting married soon you know!"
"Oh. You are?"
"We are?" You were taken by surprise as he nodded.
"We were thinking of having two ceremonies. One in her temple and a traditional Egyptian wedding ceremony back where I'm from! We haven't finished the details yet. Oh that reminds me, I brought my dearly beloved something." A goblet of deep red wine was suddenly held up to you. "A drink for you! The wind here's delicious!"
"Oh..." You slowly took it still feeling confused about what was going on. "Thank you. You know I ran into Diana earlier. She mentioned that all the wine for this banquet was made by Dionysus. He's the God of Wine from your pantheon isn't he?" You asked giving Zeus a look as Anubis glared in anger.
The old god nodded. "Indeed. He grows the grapes himself in his followers fields and then adds his own special touches to them. You should try one of his new fancy margaritas! They're to die for!"
"Well then I'll be sure to thank him when I meet him."
"OOH! SPEAKING OF THE GUY!!" Anubis suddenly put a hand above his eyes as if scanning the horizon. "I think I see him over there talking to Mother Nature!" You helped as both hands grabbed a hold of your shoulders and shoved you along almost making you spill your drink. "Let's go thank him right now! See ya, Zeus! Bye!"
As you were forced to quickly walk away from the older God you heard your liver growling annoyed and mumbling things under his breath such as 'womanizer' and 'mine' and you thought you heard 'no one's getting past me'. Eventually you dug in your heels enough to make him stop feeling your resistance.
Turning around you gave him a look. "Ok. What's going on?"
His golden eyes looked side to side. "What what?"
"You know what I'm talking about." A hand gestured to where you were just taken from. "Why were you acting all rude to Zeus and strange? I thought you were trying to get picked for the next battle."
"I am! And I am not!," he defensively declared crossing his arms with a pout with puffed out cheeks and his fangs poking out from his upper lips. Honestly he looked more cute than threatening. "I was merely protecting my beloved from becoming the next scandal Hera talks about!"
"Scandal? Hers? What are you-.." It was then it dawned on you. Turning your head back to the older God, you spotted Zues speaking to who you think was his niece Persephone. "Oh. I get now. But you didn't have to be so overly dramatic about it. You just could've said you were uncomfortable with me talking to him."
"It's not you talking to him I'm worried about! It's HIM trying to get sneaky around you!"
"Alright. Now I really get it." You reached out to tap his nose. "You're jealous."
A surprised dog like noise escaped his throat. "Jealous!?"
"Yes, Anubis. Jealous. J. E. A. L. O. U. S. Jealous." You smiled amused. "But that's ok. You're cute when you're jealous and protective like that."
"I'm not jealous!" He pouted harder. "And I'm not overreacting either! Buddha told me all about it and I'm just doing my duty so don't you make fun of me!"
You couldn't help giggle at him. If he had puppy ears they'd probably be pinned back annoyed by your giggles but he looked happy to be called cute. "Ok. Whatever you say. But I must know the answer. Who's my good boy?"
His answer was immediately. "ME!! ME!! IM THE BEST BOY!!"
- Anubis without his head piece took me by surprise, but his hair looks pretty much like I imagined. Long hair but short on top. One of my favorite anime hairstyle. No idea what it’s called but I’ll call it the twink cut. I really like that his suit is by far one of the brightest, and gold is definitely his color. I like his skin tone and his piercings are seriously unique compared to the other characters.
- the Greeks make a reappearance. Keep Zeus the fuck away from me.
- I don’t care for Lu Bu at all.
- hades looks fantastic as ever. I would’ve been disappointed if his suit wasn’t silver. It’s just his color.
- I’m not gonna lie, I don’t care for Leonidas at all, but I do like how his suit fits his style very well.
- Odin not even bothering to face forward is hilarious. I’ll never stop being upset that the anime gave him black hair when it’s actually white.
- Apollo actually looks so good. I’m not the biggest fan of his character, but I gotta admit he is EATING. His suit is super flashy and has a nice style.
- QIN MY SHAYLA AHHHHHHHH I love that man with feral energy. I’m a lil disappointed that we can’t see his eyes, but hey after Qin being in a coma for years I don’t even care.
- Jack looks nice in pink. Very cute.
- why is Adam wearing clothes so dystopian- He looks great in that shade of green.
- I don’t even like Thor, but I have to admit he looks FANTASTIC. MAJESTIC.
- LOKIIIIIII HE LOOKS BEAUTIFUL. THE GLOVES. His color scheme is perfect. I also like how Loki is sitting behind Thor rather than near Odin.
- Adamas is meh- I just don’t care for him much.
- I don’t like how much Tesla’s color scheme here clashes. Who chose that? Purple on orange with a gold jacket? Absolutely not. His pigeon being there was silly though. It’s a requirement.
- Heimdall is as extra as ever and I love it
- always nice to see Beelzebae. The little Hajun seed plush is DIABOLICAL.
- Simo hiding behind his dog is so canon. He would actually do that. I also like how he’s the only one with a top hat. He absolutely needs a hat at all times it seems.
- I’m actually really happy to see Zerofuku again. Trips me out how long it’s been since his round. He looks amazing
- Shiva serving all that cunt. I like the blue.
- Buddha looks beautiful. I really love him in gold. Not the best color scheme, but hey it’s Buddha.
- Kintoki looks great. I love his colors and overall a good look.
- I love Susanoo’s color scheme. Very nice
- I don’t exactly like Raiden, but he looks very good. Him in a suit is surreal-
- okita and Simo looking so small is sending me. Short kings. Okita always looks so adorable and friendly.
- #morekondoulove. Kondou looks so chill
- I love Sasaki’s look!!! The gold with maroon is such a slay.
