Zayn walked towards the tree and blinked "You're stuck. Aren't you?"
Liam shook his head while standing on a branch "Nope, I actually LIKE being this tall. You tall people will never understand how much the want to be tall consumes-"
"Liam"
"Yeah?"
"You're stuck"
Liam sighed "Yeah..."
Zayn shook his head "Why are you even up there?"
Liam shrugged "I'm waiting for Apollo" he looked around "He was helping me with a chimera; I'm just waiting for him to come back"
Zayn blinked "Get down"
Liam frowned "I'm good, thanks"
"Liam. The tree you're currently standing on is older than you, get down before Demeter curses us with winter for ruining what she defines as the perfect backdrop"
Liam looked down then shrugged "I'm ok with that, plus she won't do that until AFTER the wedding; and you'll be gone by then"
Zayn gave Liam an unimpressed look "You're scared"
Liam rolled his eyes "Not all of us enjoy death"
"Most people are more respected after death"
Liam hummed but shrugged, Zayn stepped closer "Jump, I'll catch you"
Liam hissed "As romantic as that sounds... I don't really-"
"Liam, jump"
"But-"
"For fuck sake Liam, just jump"
"Fine!!" He huffed then mumbled a quiet 'so unnecessarily bossy'
He looked at the sky and took a deep breath before he quickly turned around and fell back
He then slowly opened his eyes and smiled "Has anyone ever told you how pretty your eyes are?"
Zayn blinked "Has anyone ever told you that you're too sunny for your own good?" He said then dropped Liam on the grass and started to walk away
Liam laughed "I'm often told it's a good trait"
"Yeah sure we'll go with that"
"Thank you!!"
Zayn stopped and turned around, Liam was now standing and dusting himself off
"What are you thanking me for?"
Liam smiled at him "Helping me down, I believe that's what you did"
Zayn blinked, Liam then waved and walked past him. Zayn watched him leave before he saw Apollo run towards him and pick Liam up in a hug
The smaller of the two laughed before Apollo put him down and cupped his cheeks
When Apollo took his hand and started to lead him away, Liam turned to Zayn and waved before he looked ahead
But Zayn just took a deep breath and rubbed his hands together
~~~~~
"He's bad news, stay away from him"
Liam frowned "He can't be that bad... he saved me from a tree that YOU left me in"
Apollo cringed than grabbed Liam by his arms "Liam, let's not tell Demeter that happened"
Liam shrugged "He and I barely talk, you have nothing to worry about" Liam said with a smile, he then pulled away
"Now if you'll excuse me, I have to find Edward"
~~~~~
Zayn was laying on his bed with his hands behind his bed when a knock came on the door before it opened
He turned towards it and frowned "What?"
Apollo took a deep breath "I'm here to... KINDLY ask you to stay away from Liam. You're bad news and Demeter wouldn't like it if you get close to him"
Zayn blinked "Yeah, sure. I'll listen to whatever she says"
"Alright, enough of you" Hermes said shoving Apollo away "Go back to whatever hole your arse crawled out of and away from my friend"
Apollo shook his head "Just because you spend most of your time with the dead doesn't mean you should lose your manners, brother"
"You insufferable-"
Dionysus stepped between them "No, Apollo just go away"
Zayn watched Apollo walk away and turn from a corner before he stood up "I'm going for a walk"
Hermes and Dionysus both looked at him "Don't do anything stupid"
He just waved them off and continued to walk
~~~~~
Liam had just finished brushing his hair when a knock came on his door, he looked at Edward who was laying on the bed with a book
Edward frowned but Liam stood up and walked towards the door before he opened if
He looked up and smiled "Well hello there"
Zayn let out a breath "Walk with me"
Liam perked up "Ok"
"Liam"
Liam turned towards his bed "I'll see you tomorrow, Ed."
Edward smiled "You better" when they both disappeared and door closed, Edward's smile fell
He quickly made a move to run out of the room, letting the door slam behind him
