Hermes had wanted nothing more than to be with you but he couldn't, it's just not what the fates had in store.
He's a god and you're a human, it would've been doomed from the start. Being immortal he would've had to watch you grow old as he stays the same. He knows in his heart that with every passing year you'd be as beautiful as the last but it wouldn't have been fair to you. To be forced to wither away with a man that couldn't go with you.
So he'll watch you from above.
He'll watch as you make memories he'll never be a part of. Develop new hobbies and careers he'll never hear about. And finally he'll watch as you connect with people and make new friends till you finally meet the one the fates had actually set for you long before you were even born.
They will be human and perfectly imperfect.
He will smile with tears in his eyes as he blinks the years away from above.
Seeing you happy with another will be bittersweet. You are deserving of more love than the world could ever hold.
It'll make his heart ache, sometimes with overwhelming joy but more often than not with sadness, seeing you in love with another. Seeing you look up at them with a starry eyed gaze that he'll wish was for him.
He'll watch you get married. Adorned in the purest of white, surrounded by a divine halo as you make your way down to your betrothed. He'll listen to the sweet vows of promise and love that won't belong to him and will want to take them for himself.
But he won't.
Instead, he'll blink forward and catch your growing family when he looks down from the heavens. Each time he blinks another line will be drawn on your face. One on your forehead, a couple on either side of your eyes, and curves that outline the corners of your brilliant smile. You'll get more and more beautiful with every passing year he's sure.
He'll smile as he catches the shine of the silver that weaves through your locks, that same hue that'll match your partner's. He'll admire how you complement each other in a way he'd never with you, your faces each reflecting the years spent together.
He'll be in his immortal form, frozen in time, as he'll be forced to witness you endure your partner's departure from your mortal plane. He will want to stop and hold you before he takes their spirit to the other side.
But he won't.
Instead he'll allow your family, that have made families of their own, to take care of you.
In your final years he'll have that terribly bittersweet feeling well up in his chest once again because he knows that there will be a day that he will come to collect your soul as he has done for so many others. You'll be brought to where you belong, reunited with your love once again for the rest of eternity.
He knows that on that day he will be able to see you, actually see you, one last time but it will only be but a moment.
For that was all he'd ever be given, a moment. A blink of an eye and you're gone.
Hoped you liked this and it didn't hurt too hard (maybe I'm just a bit emotional rn lol)
Feedback is alway appreciated :3
