Love is different for everyone
Humans find love in the simple things, such as afternoon strolls, weddings and sunset kisses
Waiting for their other soul to come back from war safe
To protect them and love them in return
Two souls winding togethe...

• Persephone •
I had dragged myself from the bed eventually, sauntering down to the dining hall as a maid led me I could not sulk in my own despair for Hades had demanded my presence Growing impatient at my absence as a maid kindly suggested I adhere to his requests.
I sat opposite him, staring blankly through a man I had thought was kind A man I thought I could trust "You may eat Persephone, it is not decoration" he commented, seeing I had eaten nothing I was not hungry I was angry And I wanted some sort of answer that made sense.
He sighed after I had made no attempt to move anymore "Persephone. Please do not be upset by being here" he said "I do not wish to make you uncomfortable whilst you stay here" he said
"I do not wish to be here" I said honestly and gently. I was not trying to upset him. But I wanted to go home.
"I know" he said glumly, looking down momentarily "Then why force me to?" I asked, tilting my head at him "Because..." he sighed, trying to find the words But none had come in the few moments I sat there.
So I made my move to leave, standing from my chair "Because" he said again, halting my movements.
"Ever since I first laid my eyes on you Persephone. You have captured my head and my heart so quickly and completely, I no longer know which one is which anymore, I close my eyes and I see you. I let my thoughts run wild and they run straight to your door. I never entertained the idea of feeling such affection for another being and yet you drifted through my path and now I am hopelessly devoted to you until you say otherwise" he rambled out honestly.
I could not move I could not speak I only stared at him in... shock "You make everything in my life make sense. And yet also completely not. Chaos and peace have coincided in my head since your presence in my life. And it... it thrills me. You... thrill me" he said.
"I... I was not aware you felt that way" I said "Neither was I" he mumbled, looking away from me awkwardly
Silence. Silence sat between us over the table.
"I wish to keep you down here in a... a rather foolish attempt to see if you could... if you might..." he faltered, unable to express what he meant But I had understood He wanted to see if I could... like him Maybe even love him.
He was trying to pursue me.
I took a breath. And slowly sat myself back down "I understand your... feelings Hades. But I simply do not agree that I should be kept down here against my will" I said. "Would you stay willingly?" He asked.
