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...
"You broke my heart and made it feel like it was my fault"

An hour and a half Such little time in the grand scheme of things, and yet it felt like eternity sat under the Blossom tree With my partner in death behind me, my back against his chest as he played around with a flower in his hands, his arms wound around my waist.
"I wish we could stay like this forever" I whispered into the breeze, the light fading from the sky. It was never beautiful, it wasn't like a sunset you would see on earth It was not something one would marvel at.
It was just... light. No warmth, no rays Just something to help us see the death and decay down here Hell had it's moments, but nothing could ever beat being sat here with Than.
In his arms. His embrace... Feeling the little warmth he had to offer and the rogue kisses he left upon my head "So do I love... so do I" he mumbled gently.
I leant my head back even further, so I was able to look up at him sideways "Come back to my room" I said softly, watching his face fall into surprise before he looked down at me "Y-your room?" He asked, I nodded.
"I do not think that's a good idea... we should not be..." "I know" I interrupted "I just... I want to sleep with you... and I- I mean just sleep" I clarified, sitting up to look back at him.
"I know what you mean... I just do not think it is a good idea to risk it. Someone might see us" he explained, pushing a strand of hair behind my ear I nodded, trying to hide the sadness I knew was evident on my face. I just wanted to be with him. Like every other person who's ever fallen in love.
"Do not be sad love. One day..." he trailed off, I nodded again. I know one day we shall be free to show our love for each other But the stolen moments were already a drain on my heart and it had barely been two days.
I wanted more of him. I wanted all of him. "You are right. Walk me back though... please?" I asked, or more like begged in my head He nodded "Of course" he said, we both rose to our feet.
And I could not help but admire Than in the fading glow of the light He was so mysterious, so intriguing and so... handsome I sighed at the mere sight of him. Why in Olympus, earth and hell was he interested in me?
"Come on, do not want Melinoe worrying do we?" He said, taking my hand in his and leading us across the grass up to the castle I watched after him as he lead me along, fixated on our hands interlocked His touch. It was so comforting He wasn't warm... but he gave me such a tingling and inappropriate feeling every time he touched me.
When we eventually got back to my chamber, he leaned forward and left a kiss on my forehead A soft lingering kiss that seeped deep within my skin.
"Good night my love" he mumbled again me, before our eyes met again and I offered a warm smile He smiled back, a rare phenomenon that I was aiming to make regular.
