"Hermes, how much longer do I have to keep this on for? Where are we even going?" You ask as you're being blindly led by Apollo's younger brother.
"You ask so many questions." He chuckles. " The only thing I can tell you is Apollo sent me to get you and that it's a surprise."
Your tummy flutters at the idea of what Apollo could possibly get you.
He always showers you with little gifts and surprises you with sweet dates. Last time you told him it was your turn to treat him and you did by making a picnic for you two, you even made fresh bread and got his favorite fruit and set up on a hill to watch the sunset and here he is doing another impossibly sweet gesture only a few weeks after his last.
The sun god is always quick to spoil you and is deaf to all your comments of guilt for not being able to pay him back or do the same for him. The smile on your face and the time you give me is a gift in itself, he would say so you just try to accept it and know he expects nothing in return no matter how big or small his token of affection is.
Though he's done a lot in the two years you've shared together, being led blindfolded to an unknown location is a first. All you can tell is you're going up a rocky hill —thank the gods for Hermes' hold on your arm because you've had a few close calls of falling on your face.
"Okay," The God beside you says, coming to a stop. "You can remove your blindfold." You can feel him stand back as you untie the loose knock at the back of your head, blinking away the brightness of the setting sun your heart melts in your chest at the sight before you.
Before you is the spot where Apollo asked you to officially be his girlfriend and now there is a trail of red petals leading from where you're standing to the golden god standing in the middle of the clearing. He reflects the smile you give him as you start walking, looking over your shoulder you see Hermes is gone —you were so enthralled by the scene before you you must've missed him racing away, leaving the two of you alone on the top of this mountain.
"You look as lovely as always." Apollo says, his smooth rich voice rolls over his lips like silk.
"Thank you, I can say the same for you." You chuckle, brushing a strand of hair behind your ear as you reach him in the center. "This is beautiful, Apollo, but what is this all?" You ask, scanning the surrounding ground that is littered with flower petals and candles that are dancing in the wind, illuminating the dimming area.
"What? Can't a man do something special for their lover for nothing?" He asked suavely as he took a step towards you to hook his warm hand around the back of your neck and pull you in for a sweet kiss. When your lips touch it sends sparks of electricity across your skin and down your spine.
"I guess not, but was the blindfold really necessary?"
"Of course. You should've seen your face, it was beautiful." He smiles brightly.
Taking your hand he takes a deep breath.
"However, I must confess, there is something more to this night."
"What more can you possibly do, this is perfect, Apollo. You've already given me all I could possibly want" You ask bemused, making him chuckle warmly.
"Perhaps but there is something I've been wanting to give to you for quite a while."
You allow the god to walk you to a small seating area he'd set up with blankets and cushions along with a basket with a bottle of wine and a few treats. Taking a seat upon a gold cushion, your hand still in his, you wait for him to continue.
"Y/n, you've honored me with two years of your life, which is more than I would've ever expected you to grant me. You say I've given you all I could possibly give but it's quite the opposite. There is so much left to give, some of which I may never acquire but I'll spend every day you grant me to do just that. You deserve everything this world, and on, has to offer." Your eyes begin to prickle with wetness as you listen to his honeyed words and see the truth in his amber eyes.
Positioning himself on his knee before your body he takes both your hands in his as he keeps his eye locked on yours.
"I would say that every petal around us is a physical representation of all the reasons and the days that I've loved you and will continue to love you, but there aren't enough in existence to show that.
The reason I've brought you here is because I wanted to bring you to the very spot you accepted my courtship to humbly request you to give me the opportunity to love you for the rest of your days as your husband.
Y/n L/n, will you marry me?"
You don't even try to stop the tears that are brimming over as you frantically nod your head, wrapping your arms around his shoulders you press your quivering lips against his.
"Yes! A million times, yes!" You cry between kisses. His hands cradle your face as his glossy eyes search yours.
"Really?" He asks, almost surprised you said yes.
"Yes, Apollo. I will marry you."
This is kinda shitty but is it in a cute way at least?!? I hope you enjoyed it either way 😅
Feedback & Interaction is always appreciated :)
