[Chapter Limit - Complete] The Dimitrescus x FEMALE!Reader One-Shots

Hopeless Romantics

Aphrodite x Black!Reader x Daniela
Reader uses She/Her pronouns

Since it's the end of Black History Month (and my depression made it so I couldn't do what I wanted), I decided to specifically write a black reader instead of keeping the reader's appearance ambiguous (which is what i try to do so other POC can enjoy my writing as well) ❤️ As an Afro-Indigenous lesbian, I owe it to our community

This will have another part in the future btw ❤️ I just need to go through and edit this book and make a list of one-shots I need to work on (mostly ones I promised extra parts on) So I'll do that this weekend ❤️

I sighed as I flopped onto the couch next to lady Daniela, pulling her attention to me. "Isa said their family was coming to visit, right?"

"Mhm!" She giggled and nudged my shoulder. "Maybe you'll make a goddess fall in love with you."

"Be realistic."

"Isa and Cass are getting married," She scoffed while crossing her arms over her chest. "I don't think you accidentally making a goddess fall in love with you is that insane."

"...Okay, which goddess do you think?"

"Hmm, I'll give you an answer after meeting a few."

"When are they arriving again?" After the question left me, there was a loud knock on the door. "I guess that answers that."

"I'll tell everyone they're here!"

Daniela swarmed away, leaving me to get up and head over to the front door. With a deep breath, I opened the door and offered a smile to the gods, bowing to them as they entered. 'While I appreciate Dani's enthusiasm, grabbing her attention is more important to me than-,' My thoughts stopped when the mix of lavender and vanilla reached me, causing my eyes to dart up.

Neon pink eyes locked with mine before shifting color to brown, a gentle smile pilling onto the woman's face. I watched closely as she shut the door — she was the last one, after all — before she carefully slid her hand along my jaw, gently caressing my cheek a moment later. 'She's so...'

"'Dite! There you are," Isa called, making the woman drop her hand and glance over at them.

"What's this cutie's name?"

Isa blinked rapidly before their eyes shifted to me, a chuckle leaving them at my flustered form. "That's [Y/N], my maid of honor, so stop flustering her."

"All I did was exist!" The woman, Aphrodite, huffed before turning her attention to me. "You didn't mind it, did you?"

"N-not... Not at all," I whispered, earning a smile from the goddess that made me giggle.

"I like her — great choice of a maid of honor."

"Well... Thanks? Let's go. Oh, and [Y/N], Dani said to meet her in your usual spot. Whatever that means."

'Our usual-?' Once the two were gone, the memories of lady Daniela and I came back, a smile twitching on my face. 'Right, the room we nearly had sex in last time... I still don't know what we are. Maybe I can talk to Aphrodite about this?' I held in a giggle at the thought of talking to the goddess alone, making my way through the halls until stopping outside of a room.

After making sure no one was around, I slipped into the room and locked the door behind me, turning around only to get pinned to the door a moment later. Cold lips were on mine in an instant, the kiss showing just how eager the lady was. 'I can just ask Dani...' I groaned when the kiss broke and her lips moved to my neck, a soft moan slipping out of me when her hands began roaming my body.

"D-Dani, wa-wait," I managed out, sucking in a sharp breath when her movements stopped immediately.

"Something wrong?" Lady Daniela inquired with a small pout.

"I just... What... What are we?"

"...Pardon?"

"Y-you know... Us? What are we? I-I mean, we've been sneaking around like this-."

"Friends with benefits," Lady Daniela muttered and looked off to the side. "If you don't want that, you can leave whenever you'd like."

I let my gaze drop before unlocking the door. "...I'll have an answer for you tomorrow."

"Alright," She breathed and stepped back, motioning to the door. "I understand."

'Friends with benefits,' I frowned after leaving the room, my heart aching at the fact she'd rather label us that than admit she could have feelings for me. Before I could make it back to the others, I accidentally bumped into someone, a quiet squeak leaving me a moment later.

"There you are," The velvety voice of Aphrodite reached my ears before I stumbled back. "Oh, sweetheart..."

'Of course, she knows something's wrong,' I let her pull me in for a hug, the smell of the goddess soothing me. "I was just..."

"Hoping she'd confess?"

"Yeah."

"...I'm sorry, dear," She whispered and rubbed circles on my back. "How about we have some wine and you can listen to stories about the gods?"

"I-I'd love that but-."

"They won't mind — you're a maid of honor, you get the day off too."

I giggled and let her guide me through the halls, any thoughts of Daniela fading the longer I stayed next to her. Once we reached the others, Isa sent me a confused glance before going back to speaking with their sisters. 'I'll explain later, short stack, I promise,' I thought as I sat next to Aphrodite. 'For now, I need to forget about lady Daniela.'

Hours went by of Aphrodite and the other goddesses telling stories, happily leaning into the goddess of love's side. I took another sip of wine before my gaze landed on lady Daniela, my face pulling into a confused expression. 'When did she get here?' The thought faded when I felt Aphrodite's fingers brush over the side of my neck, her lips ghosting over the shell of my ear.

"You know, we've been told we're allowed to stay in the castle tonight," She purred and pulled me closer. "How about you join me in my room and we can-?"

"Hey, [Y/N]?" Lady Daniela called, a lot closer than she was a moment ago. "Can I borrow you real quick?"

"Uhm... S-sure," I muttered before standing and sending Aphrodite a smile, trying to keep my voice low — and probably failing. "I'll join you tonight."

Lady Daniela gently pulled me away, her jaw clenching until we were away from everyone. "We need to talk."

"Are you jealous?" I giggled, trying to glance back to see if I could see Aphrodite again.

"YEAH! Yeah, I am..."
