Part of him wished their second date involved a nice restaurant by the water’s edge. Or perhaps a high rise lounge overlooking the city skyline. Alas, Nick doubted they’d get another chance to visit the outside world for pleasure again so soon. Magnanimous gestures of freedom from Chiron and Lady Hestia were supposedly far in between.  Luckily, the two of them made the best out of the trip to Tokyo. Nick truly felt his connection to the other half-blood grow stronger there. “I won’t let any harm befall you, my sweet.” He was greatly pleased Angelos trusted him enough to remain seated on the mountain’s edge for a longer period of time.

Nick lovingly rubbed their noses together and beamed brightly. He always adored the feeling of Angelos’ caterpillar of a mustache against his own upper lip every time they kissed. “Look at you quelling my worries. We aren’t even married and you’re already proving to be an exceptional husband.” The child of Zeus mused, giving his lover’s hand a tender squeeze. “Don’t I know it. Pretty sure your mother is still plotting to kill me.” A concern Nick’s been facing after learning about his divine heritage. “I can’t seem to stay away from her sons, though. They’re just all captivating, I’m unable to resist.”

[yourangelos]

the sun had never looked more beautiful on the horizon as it was setting. a picturesque sight the two were marvelling in, making the best of the island’s limitations. “thank you.” angelos squeezed nick’s hand, believing fully that the son of zeus would keep him safe. "it's taken you this long to realize i'm your dream husband?" angelos sighed dramatically, “clearly i’m not working hard enough then.” he teased, but the words meant a lot to angelos. although he knew how nick felt, it was nice to hear. “i hope you know, if we get married, that you have absolutely no say over the wedding.” angelos had his wedding planned for as long as he could remember. he watched all the marriage shows as a kid, unknowingly seeking connections to his mother. “plus she won’t harm you once you claim me as your’s,” ignore the alternative. he laughed at the mention of his siblings, angelos knew the man had an affinity for the hera born. angelos had a good enough relationship with his siblings that it didn’t bother him. mostly. the son of hera swung his leg over nick and manoeuvred to straddle himself on top of nick, “none of them have a rack like me though,” angelos smirked and pushed his tits against nick's toned chest. he looked into the man’s percing blue eyes and pressed his ass against nick’s crotch. he lost sight of the rest of the island as he wrapped his arms around the other.

"I, uh—" Rex begins, stammering for thought. He had a reputation of being more honest than some on the island, so that's probably why Angelos —his fellow child of Hera— came to him for an opinion on the garment. Truthfully, he didn't know what he thought of it, but he definitely felt something.

"Well, it makes your tits look amazing, at least," he finally responds. "Alway a big fan of having the chest out. Why hide those giant silver dollar nips from the rest of the world, y'know what I mean...?"

[yourangelos]

angelos listened as he posed in front of a mirror, checking out the simple outfit from multiple angles. he trusted his hera brother’s opinion, knowing most of the hera born prioritized fashion almost as much as angelos. he turn his chest towards rex at the mention of his pecs, “do you think?” he asked with a cheeky grin, pushing his chest out. there was a thin strap of fabric across one shoulder, while his other tit was fully out. “you say that like you don’t love them.” he smirked, running a hand across his chest and teasing his own nipples. “so you like the outfit then!"

[skyyybreaker]

Taking a possible love interest on a date at one of the highest peaks of the entire island probably wasn’t Nick’s smartest idea. After all, Angelos couldn’t exactly fly so the likelihood of an accident occurring wasn’t zero.There was also a myth involving Zeus hanging Hera up on the sky by golden chains as a means of punishment for her treachery. Alas, they weren’t their parents and Nick strove to be a better man than his Lord Father ever was. He wouldn’t permit any harm to come of the child of the Queen. Nick refused to let something bad happen to that pretty face and incredible chest. “We can go back down soon if you’re uncomfortable.” The younger demigod assured him.

Nick grinned at the suggestion, delighted by the other half-blood’s confidence. “Great plan. Hopefully we aren’t struck down before reaching the mountaintop.” A brief pause as Nick frowned a bit. “My real worry is reaching their domain, and not finding anyone up there.” He confessed with a soft sigh. The gods and goddesses have been silent for so long. Who knew if they were even still around. “I’d like to think our parents are still looking after us.”

[yourangelos]

nick was the perfect date. he did a great job with the lead-up to this scenic view; angelos liked a man who pulled out all the stops for him. “no, that’s not what i meant, i’m really enjoying my time up here with you.” plus it gave the son of hera an opportunity to stay close. he shifted as in as much as he could, pressing his hips and fat ass against nick. he draped a hairy leg over nick’s and tangled them together. “and i trust you more than i’m actually worry about falling.”  nick’s anxieties were something angelos had thought of before, but convinced himself out of it; no sense in worrying if they were trapped on this island. he hoped nick was wrong, that the gods were truly up there. is that better than missing? were they trapped, or merely ambivalent? angelos trained himself to ignore those thoughts a long time ago. “whatever’s going on with them, it’d be naive to think they weren’t looking after us.” he put a hand to his chest and sent a silent prayer to his mother, “hera is everywhere, after all.” angelos couldn’t humour thinking otherwise.

Legs dangling off from a staggering five-hundred foot drop, Nick kept a relatively firm grip on the other demigod’s wrist. He didn’t want any accidents happening, even if Angelos was perfectly capable of taking care of himself. “It’s beautiful.” Nick mused, unable to take his eyes off the spectacular sight. “This must be how the view from Olympus was like.” Anybody else would naturally feel the effects of vertigo for being so high up, but not Nick. The sky was his domain and where he felt the most at ease. Here, everyone else except for the gods was beneath him. 

A relaxed sigh as he cozied up against Angelos. Nick intertwined their hands together as he watched the fluffy white clouds loom over camp. “Thanks for agreeing to hangout. I figured I’d take you somewhere real special.” Just about everyone can go on a date by the beach, or even the groves. However, Nick wanted to showcase his heavenly heritage and bring a lover to a place that meant a lot to him. “I flew here for the first time when I realized my Lord Father Zeus won’t be responding, no matter how many prayers and offerings I make to him.” He learned to accept the bitter conclusion a while back, but doing so didn’t make it hurt any less. “I’ve always wanted to soar higher and figure out what’s happening in their godly realm, but we both know the story of Bellerophon.” A nervous laugh as Nick expressed his fear of suffering the same fate, all because of a morbid curiosity. 

[yourangelos]

the increased effort on nick’s part hadn’t gone unnoticed by angelos. it was rare for a man to keep his attention for long, but angelos enjoyed spending time with nick. he’d been looking forward to the second date; they’d had a great time in tokyo, the hera born had been thinking of the sakura blossoms since they got back. it was an unforgettable experience but he’d never admit that to nick.  he looked out across the beautiful sky as he listened to the son of zeus. ”i’ve heard it’s gorgeous. i’d love to see it some day.” angelos looked down, and couldn’t help but grimace. he immediately looked away, focusing on nick as he shifted closer. “i know you’d never let me fall, but it’s still a bit frightening.” hera instilled her wrath of zeus early in angelos’ life; he tightened his grip on nick’s hand.  his own legs swayed in the wind,  “don’t worry, i didn’t doubt for a second you’d had something special planned for me,” he ran a finger along nick’s shoulder, “this place is gorgeous. i’m sure it's rivalling the gods' view right now...” he kissed nick’s shoulder before looking back out towards the clouds; the mention of bellerophon made him laugh grimly, ”maybe we could make it if we went without pegasus. you fly and i''ll charm.”

[skyyybreaker]

The embroidery on the kimonos was unlike anything Nick has seen before. Safe to say, he was extremely impressed and couldn’t wait to don such an extravagant piece. Even the one he wore during his last visit to Tokyo couldn’t compare. The sons of Hera certainly had impeccable tastes in clothes and fashion. “Size me up, you say?” Nick inquired with a rather cheeky grin. “You act as though we haven’t seen one another naked on more than one occasion.” He mused, unbothered if the cab driver could hear their conversation. Hopefully the poor fellow didn’t understand much English, otherwise he was in for quite the ride. 

Once they arrived at the imperial grounds, Nick took a moment to admire the magnificent structure. He always did love visiting strongholds for seats of power throughout the world. Feeling the tug at his hand, he followed Angelos and allowed himself to be led to a public restroom. A light laugh escaped Nick as he began to change and neatly pack his normal clothes in a garment bag. “Just a nice stroll around the palace gardens, darling. I felt this place fitting for people like us.” And by that he meant those of divine royal blood. After exiting his stall, he took a good gander at Angelos and smirked approvingly. “It’s okay to put your twist on things every once and a while.” Nick peeled back the okumi just enough to show he was in fact not sporting any underwear. He stepped forward and adjusted the taller demigod’s kimono to expose a bit more of his chest. “Perfect. A little cleavage never hurts.”

[yourangelos]

“well, believe it or not i'm not usually worried about the size of your shirts when we're together,” he rested an arm on nick's chest. “though you always dress nice." nick would know if angelos thought otherwise. angelos hadn't realized until he was fully changed how excited he actually was. he stepped out into the bathroom, mouthing another apology to those he'd cut in line. while he did feel bad, he also knew they'd get over it quickly. his focus turned to his friend who'd just emerged in his new outfit. nick looked amazing, and angelos immediately noticed the bulge apparent behind the fine silk. he smirked as his mind filled with dirty thoughts. he half-listening to their date plans, eyeing nick's modifications. he put a hand on nick as the demigod stepped closer, gladly letting his cleavage get exposed. "you just like showing me off." he pushed his chest out, the thin fabric falling farther down and exposing his tits.  angelos followed in his friend's footsteps and bent down, sliding off his underwear. he was sure to take his time and give the son of zeus a show; ensuring he saw a flash of pubes before the silk fell back into place. angelos stepped forward, taking nick's hand.  “now let's go!”

[yourangelos]

“it's too on the nose, don't you think?” angelos stepped into his living room, showing off the outfit to his friend. he was dressed in a stereotypical greek robe, practically a bedsheet thrown together, with a golden laurel atop his head. he was going through the wardrobe he'd bought in japan, getting his friend to help with which items were worth keeping.

Nothing could beat the invigorating feeling of swiping a credit card and getting whatever his little heart desired handed to him on a literal silver platter. With the island’ operating under a different currency, the wealth Nick accumulated in his lifetime was practically useless. The ever growing trust fund his parents left for him remained untouched for so long now, begging to be spent. And what better way to do so than to wander Tokyo’s designer district, visiting various boutiques to freshen his wardrobe back at camp? Nick had already sent a car’s load worth of different shopping bags and shoes back to his hotel by the time he reunited with the other demigod.

As a New Yorker, Nick had no issue getting into a cab. It was a classic staple of his home city. He hopped right in and buckled his seat belt, eyes growing wide with wicked interest at the kimonos Angelos picked for them to wear. The son of Zeus brushed his hand along the luxurious fabric. “Wow, this is actual silk. How’d you guess my measurements, hm?” He teased and pressed a grateful kiss to the taller half-blood’s cheek. “I’d no idea you knew my naked body so well.” 

[yourangelos]

“of course it is.” angelos stated matter of factly. he wouldn’t waste his time or money on anything below designer. angelos had spent considerable time musing over the different kimonos, ensuring he picked the right ones for them both. he wanted a piece of art; a keepsake they’d both have to easily remember the vacation. “mostly an educated guess. i’ve had time to size you up,” he winked playfully “but i think it should fit just right.” angelos smiled as he felt the kiss on his cheek, admiring the son of zeus as he leaned in close “you can’t talk about your naked body during something like a cab ride, that’s just not fair to me.” he eyed the passing scenery, their destination fast approaching. as the cab pulled up, angelos paid their fare and stepped onto the street. he grabbed nick’s hand, dragging him to the nearest washroom. angelos stepped through the busy lineup and into the closest stall, ignoring the cries of those they’d cut off. “what do you have planned for us anyway?” the son of hera asked as he quickly got changed. he slipped off his shirt, thin toned frame and heavy pecs on brief display before he slid on the kimono. he slid off his pants and tied up the kimono before packing away his clothes. “apparently the underwear stays on under these things” angelos frowned, tying the kimono and ready to explore.

[yourangelos]

nicholas’ suggestion was so good angelos was pissed he didn’t think of it himself. touring a japanese palace was something he had to do while the group was on vacation. angelos was looking forward to spending time alone with nick. he was drawn to the demigod shortly after he’d arrived; the intelligent ones were always angelos' favourite. angelos had spent the day taking advantage of the portal between olympus and japan, sending multiple trips worth of clothing back to the island. his shopping list was planned before they even left; the opportunity to freshen their wardrobes was like liquid gold. angelos hoped his fellow demigods valued updating their fashion as much as he did. “it’d be kinda cute if we took a cab there. have you seen them yet? adorable.” he flagged a cab, holding his designer weekender bag close as they both hopped in. the palace wasn’t far, thank you to nick for the logistics working out so well. as the cab drove angelos looked to nick and grinned, reaching into his bag and pulling out two neatly folded kimonos. “also, we’re wearing these. i picked one out for you, so you must.”

@skyyybreaker note: the palace

[fromolympus]

what: open neon city starter, clyde excited and using technology for a moment. where: the busy streets of tokyo at night

clyde is holding his phone up, back camera pointed to his handsome smiling face as he chatters away rapidly, walking with a quick pace. he knows he looks like some kind of influencer type, or a youtuber, but he's just glad to have technology on his side for a moment so he doesn't have to write everything down. he wants a record of everything, it's important to him. 

the bright lights of the tokyo skyline at night bring something out of him, just like when he was growing up in new york city and getting lost every now and then. always after a new experience. some adventure of some kind. now he and his fellow demigods have been let loose upon the neon city. it's exciting to say the least. 

he realizes one of the guys is walking right behind him, and he slows down, angling his phone so he'll be in frame too. 

“say hey! i'm doing a video diary!” clyde has on his best anchorman smile as he turns to the man, “how are you liking tokyo so far? it's pretty incredible, isn't it? i haven't been here since i was a kid. where is the city taking you tonight? if you don't mind my asking, of course!”

he waits for an answer letting people pass them on the street. maybe he can hitch himself to this guy's plans and see where the night takes them. 

[yourangelos]

angelos was absentmindedly walking alongside a few other demigods. he was aware clyde was closest to him but most of his attention had been on the sprawling city streets. angelos had the luxury of visiting many cities throughout the years but this was his first time in japan. he’d always been fascinated in the similarities between cultures; things he wouldn’t expect to be the same halfway across the world but were. it was a reminder that we were all connected. the demigod’s eyes snapped to clyde as he saw the phone in his periphery. a charming yet calculated smile spread across angelos’ face. “hey” his grin widened, dimples on full display while he checked himself out in the phone’s corner. “tokyo is absolutely stunning. it’d be hard to pick just one thing, but if i had to.. the hotsprings. or the bathhouses.” he winked at the camera, then looked back up at clyde. “what is your favourite so far? you caught me in a bit of a daydream, to be honest.”
