GREEK GODS X MALE READER

HERCULES

The sun was just beginning to set over the lush hills of Greece as Hercules, the legendary hero, caught sight of Y/N from a distance. Y/N stood at the edge of a cliff, his dark hair tousled by the wind, and his eyes fixed on the horizon with a guarded expression. Hercules was immediately captivated by Y/N's aloof demeanor and mysterious aura, and he couldn't shake off the feeling of wanting to get to know him.

Hercules approached Y/N with his usual confidence, but as he got closer, he realized that Y/N was not easily won over. Y/N's guarded nature was evident in the way he tensed up and took a step back as Hercules approached him.

Hercules: (with a charming smile) Good evening, stranger. My name is Hercules, and I couldn't help but be drawn to your presence. Might I have the pleasure of your company?

Y/N: (eyeing Hercules skeptically) I prefer solitude, Hercules. I have no interest in your company.

Hercules was taken aback by Y/N's cold response, but he was not one to back down from a challenge. He was determined to break through Y/N's defenses and win his heart.

Hercules: (taking a step closer) I understand, Y/N. But I'm not here to intrude on your solitude. I simply want to get to know the person behind the guarded facade. You intrigue me.

Y/N: (raising an eyebrow) Intrigued, huh? You're not the first one to say that. But let me tell you, Hercules, I'm not easily won over.

Hercules: (smirking) Challenge accepted.

In the days that followed, Hercules made it his mission to impress Y/N with his physical prowess. He performed incredible feats of strength, battling mythical creatures and overcoming seemingly impossible challenges, all in the hopes of catching Y/N's attention.

Hercules: (returning from a battle, covered in dirt and sweat) Another victory, Y/N! Did you see that?

Y/N: (unimpressed) I saw. But physical strength alone doesn't impress me, Hercules.

Hercules: (determined) Then what will it take, Y/N? I'll do whatever it takes to prove my worth to you.

But Y/N remained unmoved by Hercules' displays of strength. He saw beyond the surface and knew that there was more to a person than just their physical abilities.

Y/N: (crossing his arms) It's not just about strength, Hercules. It's about sincerity, loyalty, and understanding. Show me that you possess those qualities, and maybe I'll consider letting my guard down.

Hercules realized that he needed to do more than just showcase his physical prowess. He needed to demonstrate his sincerity and show Y/N that he was willing to be vulnerable.

Hercules: (approaching Y/N with a serious expression) Y/N, I want you to know that I'm not just here to win your heart for the thrill of the chase. I genuinely care about getting to know you, and I'm willing to be patient and earn your trust.

Y/N: (softening slightly) Trust is not something I give easily, Hercules. I've been hurt before, and I'm not eager to let my guard down again.

Hercules: (nodding) I understand. But I want to be different. I want to show you that I'm sincere in my intentions. I won't rush you or push you into anything you're not comfortable with.

Y/N's guarded expression softened slightly as he looked into Hercules' eyes. There was a flicker of curiosity, a hint of vulnerability that Hercules hadn't seen before.

Y/N: (tentatively) Alright, Hercules. Show me then. Show me that you're sincere.

Hercules: (smiling) I will, Y/N. I promise.

And so, Hercules set out to demonstrate his sincerity to Y/N. He spent time with Y/N, engaging in deep conversations about their past, their dreams, and their fears. He listened attentively to Y/N's stories and showed genuine interest in understanding him. He was patient and understanding, never pushing Y/N to open up more than he was comfortable with.
