sappy son of a bitch

It’s been quite a day, Eros is just taking a tiny nap, he needed this nap. He doesn’t even hear when the door is opened.

[aglaea-grace-blog]

As soon as he said it, she was able to pin point the doubt, the uneasiness that settled in her stomach. It melted into a puddle, and then began to work its magic. The second part of her power she had learned while away with her sisters. “I know what’s bothering you,” she looked at him in the eyes, letting the easy-going waves of energy flow from her onto him.

[theo-cupid-ellis]

He felt something shift again and glanced around out of nervousness but he felt his insecurities start to melt away. “What? How?” He asked shaking his head. “Wait, this is something-this is what your thing is? What are you doing to me?” He asked slouching further into the chair.

[aglaea-grace-blog]

His smile never reached to where it meant the truth, and maybe that was Aglaea’s powers working or he was just too easy to read. “What’s wrong?” The grace outright asked him.

[theo-cupid-ellis]

“I-” He hesitated thinking he didn’t quite know what she was talking about but really he knew. It was something that’s been at the back of his mind for a while now. “It’s stupid. Back when the shooting at the MET happened, my mother wanted me to talk to my half brothers to have them protect the house and it’s just been bothering me for a while now.”

[caraxdiamond-deactivated2016102]

“Well this is one of the best places to find any of those things.” he said, looking around the expensive glass cases and spotting at least two of the things he had mentioned. “it is, isn’t it. How are you thinking of celebrating with your dad? How’s your shooting coming along? i meant to tell you how impressed I was at how good your aim was when we went to the range, must be in your blood.” he said, chuckling lowly to himself at his little personal truth. 

[theo-cupid-ellis]

With a quick glance down at the case in front of them, Eros nodded. This was definitely the place he needed to be for his gift but he was finicky and it would take him forever just to find the right gift. He nodded though in response before he answered Ares. “I haven’t decided exactly yet, but I thought I’d do something to surprise him. You can’t really surprise a father on father’s day so I might make it a two day thing. Just show up at his place and kidnap him or something.” 

At the mention of his shooting Eros’ head snapped up, he hadn’t forgotten about their time at the shooting range. He was surprised he had so much fun with a stranger, no less. “My dad does make guns and weapons so I guess it does run in my blood. I almost beat his shot at one point but I think my shooting is doing alright. I’ve only gone the two times. I don’t know if I’ll go again. Maybe.”

[caraxdiamond-deactivated2016102]

If there was any understated fact about Ares, it was that in this lifetime and his lifetime before, he knew how to treat women to fineries. This gift being for Aphrodite, only made him more determined to make sure it was perfect but he didn’t expect to run into anyone at the store. Inspecting the cut and clarity of the diamond wreath necklace at Harry Winston, he turned and was surprised to see who was standing close to him. “hey, I wasn’t expecting to see anyone here. What are you doing here?” 

[theo-cupid-ellis]

Eros furrowed his brow. “I just kinda felt like getting my wife a gift and maybe a watch for my dad. Father’s day is coming up.”

[aglaea-grace-blog]

“Thanks,” she told him as she took the cup of hot coffee from him. Aglaea’s brows furrowed a bit. “Maybe just a bit tan since I just came back from the islands.” It was a nice needed vacation with her sisters. She watched him, his body language as he spoke. “How are you?”

[theo-cupid-ellis]

Eros’ eyebrows furrowed a bit in thought. “I’m fine. Been working a lot. It’s been easier with the-” He leaned in to whisper, “powers. I’ve been able to make people fall in love again.” As much as that makes him happy the small smile he gives her doesn’t really meet his eyes.

[aglaea-grace-blog]

She nods, agreeing to his offer as she continues to focus her energy into taking his uneasiness away. She still has yet to pin point what his insecurity is. Waiting for him to come back with her new coffee, Aglaea writes something into her notebook.

[theo-cupid-ellis]

As he makes his way back to Aglaea he sits across from her and places the new cup in front of her and made himself at home. He was feeling much more relaxed then he was when he first walked in. “Is it rude to say that you look different?” 

[aglaea-grace-blog]

She frowned as hot coffee spilled all over her jacket and pants before recognizing the other god. “Oh, it’s okay.. don’t worry.” Aglaea noticed the god’s uneasiness, remembering her new power. “Don’t worry about it, Theo.”

[theo-cupid-ellis]

Eros smiles easily with her calming tone. “If you say so. At least please allow me to buy you a new coffee.”

[theo-cupid-ellis]

Eros isn’t paying attention and accidentally bumps into her chair while she’s drinking. When he realizes what he’s done he kneels next to her chair already grabbing napkins to hand to her. “I’m sorry. I was in a rush. Long legs-I really could continue with these excuses if you don’t stop me.”

“Oh and I might have gotten to the egg rolls already so don’t be too disappointed when you find them half eaten.” She said with a small smirk as she sat down onto the seat he’d moved.

“No I definitely would have whined and pouted and begged for you to get me more.” He said before he kisses the corner of her lips at her smile.

Edward sighed, looking around at the endless swarm of people walking the streets of New York.  Almost all of them were wearing earphones.  No one was listening.  “I hope you plan on sending them my way.”  He whispered, sending a quick wink Theo’s way.

[theo-cupid-ellis]

Eros rolled his eyes, of course he’d suggest Hymenaios. He was his favorite brother and it worked perfectly in both their companies favors. “It’s cute that you even have to ask. Nice touch with the wink, bet the wife loves that.”

[caraxdiamond-deactivated2016102]

“You could say Alessandra and I.. know each other really well and haven’t quite been able to shake each other” he said smiling to himself at the thought of Alessandra. He looked at his son and parked the car as soon as they got to the range, “Not a gun nut but I’ve been around them for basically my whole life… military, training, special forces.. you name the job and I’ve probably done it.” he said unlocking the car and getting out, receiving special treatment by the guys who ran the range, with Jackson having been the mentor and trainer of a lot of the guys that came to this specific range. 

He clapped a had on Eros’ shoulder urging him to go on. “It seems daunting but you’ll get muffs and get used to the sound.” 

[theo-cupid-ellis]

Daunting was definitely one of the words that ran through his head at the moment along with, what the hell are you doing here? You are going to shoot yourself in the foot. You’re gonna shoot someone else in the foot. The gun is gonna knock me on my ass. What if this guy tries showing off and it like ricochets or whatever the fuck it’s called. Danger, Idiot, Death Sentence. All of this flashed through his head within a matter of moments but he was already here, he didn’t have a ride and he was sick of being seen as weak. Well weaker than his half siblings at least. Eros gave a small huff before straightening his shoulders “Lead the way.” He said with a forced smile and marched in after him.

Safe and Sound || Psyche & Eros

[muertedivino]

Psyche hoped that his silence meant that he was pondering what she’d said and it took her by surprise when he’d suddenly pulled her closer into him but it didn’t take her long to nestle her head comfortably against his chest.

The heaviness of sleep was ushered forth as the room, which had been dimly lit by the warm glow of the lamp, was engulfed in darkness. Her eyelids fluttered shut and with each passing second she could feel herself giving in to the exhaustion she wasn’t aware she had been pushing back.By the time her mind has registered what he’s said she could hardly muster up the consciousness to answer. “Your existence alone was enough.” She mumbles almost inaudibly, her voice heavily muffled by her lack of consciousness. Before long, she drifts into serene slumber, her mind at peace thanks to the presence of Eros.

[theo-cupid-ellis]

He himself had also started to drift a little, he only opened one eye to smirk down at her for her answer. Shaking his head slightly he smiled and kissed the top of her head gently. “I love you, Princess. Sweet dreams.” He ducked to kiss her quick before reaching over to turn off the light on the side table and snuggled closer to his wife. He too then dozed off to sleep feeling way more relaxed then the hours earlier.

Edward stops suddenly and turns to face him.  “Your powers?”  He raised an eyebrow.  “You think you’re making people fall in love again?”  Everyone knew Eros as Cupid back in Olympus so it wasn’t hard to interrupt that that would be his powers.

[theo-cupid-ellis]

Theo’s brow furrows as he shushes Hymenaios shaking his head. “Jesus, Edward we’re in public. Whispers.” He gives a small smile. “But yeah, that’s what I think is happening.”
