"Than" she moaned, grinding against me softly, her naked body pressed against mine, her hands gripping the back of my neck as she threw her head back
Her white curls falling down her arched back, my hands round her waist.

It felt... amazing
"Macaria" I heard myself groan, pulling her into me to kiss her
"Thanatos... Than... ah... I love you" she moaned angelically...

My eyes snapped open, and I sat up, sweating and... feeling something inappropriate
God sake... Hypnos
I got up, getting dressed and heading out to the days work waiting for me
I needed to stop dreaming about her, it had been three days since Hypnos gave me the first one.

He could even go into people's dreams if he wished, so I suppose I should be thankful he was only putting her in my head, rather than interfering
I dreamed about her every night now, I used to sometimes, but now it was constant.

Dreaming of her in bed, in my room
Dreaming of us getting married
Of her telling me I was the only man she ever wanted... and I knew it was all lies.

She would never feel that way.

"Thanatos?" I called out
I had not seen him in days, he had left for his duties before me every day, he did not come by to paint at night
It was like... like we were strangers
Like he did not want to see me.

His room was empty, but there was paper scattered everywhere
Whether it was rudeness or curiosity, I took a step closer to some of them, glancing at the pages.

And they were all... me
Every single one of them
I picked some up, looking through them
My eyes, my lips, my hair
He drew everything... everywhere, I thought as I glanced around.

"Good morning bro- oh, Princess" Hypnos cut himself off, bowing to me as he stopped in his tracks
"Hypnos" I said, slightly off guard, I put the papers down quickly, turning back to him.

His eyes followed my movement, and I thought I saw a glimpse of a smirk before he spoke again
"I see Thanatos... is not here?" He asked, looking around, I nodded
"Seems not, he must of left... again" I mumbled the last part disheartened.

Why was he ignoring me? And yet drawing me everywhere
"And you are... upset?" He asked, crossing his arms and leaning against the doorframe casually
"I... I am not upset" I said, trying to sound as happy as I could.
