GREEK GODS X MALE READER

HERMES

The moon hung low in the night sky, casting shadows across the cobblestone streets of a bustling city. In the midst of the dark alleys and hidden corners, a figure moved with the grace of a shadow. His footsteps were barely audible, and his hands were quick and skilled as he expertly picked the lock of a wealthy merchant's mansion. This figure was none other than Hermes, the mischievous god of thieves and travelers, known for his cunning ways and penchant for mischief.

As he slipped into the mansion, Hermes couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement. He loved the thrill of the heist, the challenge of outsmarting security measures, and the satisfaction of a successful theft. However, little did he know that he was not alone in his endeavor.

A sudden movement caught Hermes' attention, and he spun around to find himself face to face with a male reader, who had apparently beaten him to the prize. The reader was just as skilled as Hermes, moving with agility and dexterity as he bypassed the mansion's security measures.

Hermes raised an eyebrow in surprise, impressed by the reader's skills. "Well, well, what do we have here?" he said with a smirk. "You're quite the thief, aren't you?"

The reader smirked back at Hermes, their eyes locking in a moment of mutual respect. "Likewise," he replied, his voice smooth and confident. "I could say the same about you, Hermes. I've heard tales of your thieving prowess."

Hermes chuckled, intrigued by the reader's boldness. "You've got guts, I'll give you that," he said, taking a step closer. "But this is my heist. I suggest you back off if you know what's good for you."

The reader's smirk widened into a grin, and he raised his hands in a mock surrender. "Fair enough," he said. "But how about we make a deal? We join forces and split the loot. It's a win-win situation."

Hermes arched an eyebrow, considering the reader's proposition. He was used to working alone, but the idea of teaming up with someone as skilled as himself intrigued him. Plus, he couldn't deny the thrill of competition that the reader ignited in him. "Alright," he finally said with a grin. "Deal."

And so, Hermes and the reader became an unlikely duo, working together to pull off daring heists across the city. They complemented each other's skills perfectly, seamlessly coordinating their movements and outsmarting every obstacle in their way. Their heists became the stuff of legend, as they effortlessly stole priceless artifacts, valuable treasures, and coveted jewels from the city's most well-guarded locations.

As they worked together, Hermes found himself drawn to the reader's charm and wit. The reader's confidence and fearlessness in the face of danger were intoxicating, and Hermes couldn't help but feel a growing admiration for his partner. He found himself enjoying the thrill of the heists even more when he was working alongside the reader, and their banter and playful competition only fueled his interest.

But as their partnership flourished, Hermes also found himself torn between his admiration for the reader and his mischievous nature. He was used to being a lone trickster, never getting too attached or forming deep connections. Yet, the reader was changing that, making him question his usual ways of operating.

One night, after a particularly daring heist, Hermes and the reader found themselves on a rooftop overlooking the city, basking in the glow of their success. The reader turned to Hermes, a glimmer of mischief in his eyes. "You know, Hermes, I never expected to find a partner in crime who could keep up with me like you do," he said with a grin. "It's been quite the ride, hasn't it?"

Hermes couldn't help but smile back, the thrill of the heist still coursing through his veins. "Indeed, it has," he replied, his voice tinged with amusement. "I must admit, you're not half bad for a mortal."

The reader chuckled, his gaze fixed on Hermes. "Coming from you, that's high praise," he said, his tone playful. "But I've learned from the best."

Hermes raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips. "Flattery will get you nowhere," he said, taking a step closer to the reader. "But I must admit, I've enjoyed our partnership."

The reader's playful smile softened into something more genuine. "Me too," he said, his eyes meeting Hermes'. "I never expected to find a partner who could match my skills, but you've exceeded my expectations."

Hermes felt a warmth spread through his chest, a feeling he wasn't accustomed to. He was used to being the trickster, the one who played with others' emotions, but now he found himself in uncharted territory. He realized that he was not only drawn to the reader's skills but also to his personality and the way he made him feel alive.

Before he could overthink it, Hermes closed the distance between them, his hand reaching out to cup the reader's cheek. The reader's eyes widened in surprise, but he didn't pull away. Instead, he leaned into Hermes' touch, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

"I never thought I'd find someone who could keep up with me," Hermes whispered, his voice barely above a breath. "But you've managed to steal more than just treasures, you've stolen my heart."

The reader's lips curved into a smile, and he leaned in, closing the gap between them. Their lips met in a fiery kiss, a collision of passion and desire. It was a kiss that spoke of their shared adventure, their partnership, and the unspoken emotions that had been building between them.

As they pulled apart, Hermes looked into the reader's eyes, his heart pounding in his chest. "So, what do you say?" he asked, his voice filled with uncertainty. "Do you want to be more than just partners in crime?"

The reader's smile widened, and he threaded his fingers through Hermes' hair, pulling him into another kiss, this one softer and more tender. "I'd be a fool to say no," he said against Hermes' lips. "I've been drawn to you since the moment we met, Hermes. I want to see where this goes."

Hermes couldn't help but smile, a rare and genuine expression that lit up his features. He had never expected to find love in the midst of his mischievous adventures, but the reader had stolen his heart in more ways than one. With a sense of excitement and anticipation, Hermes took the reader's hand, leading him towards the moonlit horizon, ready to embark on a new adventure together.

And so, Hermes and the reader's partnership evolved into something more, a love that was as thrilling as their heists. They continued to steal from the rich and powerful, but now they did it not only for the thrill of the chase but also for the shared joy and love they found in each other's company.

They traveled the world, exploring new lands and experiencing new cultures, their love growing stronger with each new adventure. They laughed, they bickered, they teased each other mercilessly, but at the end of the day, they always found their way back to each other, their bond unbreakable
