Thanatos
The God of death, the God everyone loathes, and yet the one everyone longs for at the end, the God they cling too, seek comfort in, the God all the others forget about and yet... Olympus itself would fall without him.
He's lonely... under...
"It is both a blessing and a curse to feel everything so very deeply"

"Thanatos... if neither of us asked the other here, then I can only assume we either part ways once more or one of us finds the courage to take the lead in this conversation" I said, he nodded "I- I agree princess" he muttered, avoiding my gaze.
I cannot handle this anymore, it is all too much. This would have to end with me spilling all my feelings and praying he still wanted to at least be friends with me Or us ignoring each other for the rest of eternity.
"Thanatos, I- I cannot keep my feelings inside. I think we should be honest about how we feel. I know you feel nothing for me except a pure and forgiving friendship, and I am grateful for that. I am..." I started, watching for any kind of reaction. He looked... disappointed?
But I could not keep letting his reaction interfere with my feelings. I needed to be honest, for my own sanity more than anything. "But I do not feel a friendship for you" I said "Y-you do not?" He asked, eyes wide and voice slightly panicked Was he scared of what my true feelings were? Or was he afraid I did not want to be friends at all?
"No. I feel- well I feel so much more Thanatos. So much so it is hard to explain, it is hard to explain to myself. But... you... you are everything to me Thanatos" I said, glancing up at him. He did not move, nor blink He did not say a word.
"I feel for you so deeply and so intensely, you are the person who makes my heart flutter Than, you smile at me and I feel like I am going to explode from the happiness I feel. I feel like a teenager who admires another, like all those humans on earth that chase after each other in a haze of love. And yet you never notice me... I know that is not your fault but I cannot keep it contained any longer. I cannot keep lying to you as well as myself that I am fine when I am not. I amcompletely and utterly, head spinning, heart falling and hopelessly in love with you" I rambled out.
He stood frozen, in place. Just... staring "I love every single thing about you Thanatos. I love the darkness and the loneliness and I want... I long to be yours. I long for you to call me by my name, to feel the affection I feel for you, even if it is only a fraction because I ache for you every second of every day" I continued, why was he not saying anything?
I knew he did not feel the same. But why did it hurt so badly that he was silent? "I understand I- I know you do not reciprocate- I just... y-you make my heart complete" I said, unable to hide the sorrow lacing my voice I turned around, ready to cry my self to sleep in my chambers over the man that had my heart.
But did not want it...
I got only a step when I felt a pair of hands grasp hold of me Thanatos' normally intimidating figure standing in front of me... before I felt his lips against mine.
