A/N: not me blushing in my online physics class while writing this...

"Druig, for the love of the Celestials, stay still and stop fidgeting!"

"But that hurts!"

"Do you want it to get infected or not?"

"No..."

"Then stay still!" I hissed and continued to apply the paste I made this morning. "I'm so glad I took those lessons from Ajak and that I practically created these herbs... That should help with the redness. Does it still hurt?"

"Not as much as this morning." Druig shrugged.

"That's because you had to be a smartass and tighten the bandage way too tight. You have to let it breathe in order to heal." I pointed out and heard the door open. "If it's Ikaris again, I swear to-"

"More like your sister, Mom and Dad." I heard the unmistakable voice of Gilgamesh and was tackled to the floor by my favorite speedster. "So this is where the two of you hid for ten years?"

"How'd you find us? Ikaris didn't snitch right?" I asked and hugged Makkari back. "I missed you also, my sweet Makkari."

"Ikaris was here? All we saw was him arriving at the Domo and locked himself in his room. He hasn't come out since. It's been three days." Thena said and noticed the bandage on Druig's torso. "How many?"

"Three. Vena and I took care of it. I didn't even notice that I got hit until she pointed it out." Druig smiled and hugged Makkari. "Yes, I missed you also."

"With the bloodied axe I presume?" Gilgamesh smirked pointing at the axe next to us and we both nodded.

"How'd you find us?"

"Ares contacted us and Makkari dragged us here." Thena shrugged just as Druig groaned. "Ares is a war god, I'm a war goddess. To me, you're Ares."

"Ares also is known to have no morals, Thena." He pointed out.

"Vena gets hurt, your morals go out the door. Same thing." Gilgamesh shrugged.

"And me?" I smirked.

"To me, you're Persephone and Druig is Hades for obvious reasons." Makkari smirked and Druig rolled his eyes sitting up with Gilgamesh's help.

"I contacted you because we actually missed you, not to talk about what god I am." Druig pointed out and we all laughed.

"Well, I was going to go make dinner because Druig is bedridden for at least a few more days. You three are more than welcome to help out." I offered.

"I think I'll stay here and make sure Adonis actually stays still. We both know he's jittery when he wants to." Thena teased.

"I am not!"

"Yes, you are." Makkari and I signed in unison.

Yes, I am..."

...

~Druig's POV~

"So? You have it?"

"I do... Remind me to thank Phastos and Kingo later." I said standing up with ease and pulled out a crystal box handing it to Thena. "Ten years I've been planning this, Thena. I think it's long overdue."

"It truly is a beautiul ring, I'll give you that. But why a ring? Everybody just asks and that's it."
