GREEK GODS X MALE READER

CHOOSING ZEUS

Zeus smiled knowingly. "I knew you would make the right choice," he said, extending his hand to you.

You took his hand, feeling a jolt of electricity shoot through your body as your fingers touched his. "What happens now?" you asked, looking up at him.

"Now, we embark on a journey together," he said, leading you to a balcony that overlooked the city below. "As my chosen mortal, you will be granted the gift of immortality, and together we will shape the course of history."

"But what about the other gods?" you asked, still feeling guilty about rejecting the offers of Poseidon and Hades.

"They will understand," Zeus said, placing a reassuring hand on your shoulder. "They too have chosen mortals before, and they know that the heart wants what it wants."

You nodded, feeling a sense of relief wash over you. It was true that you couldn't help the way you felt, and you knew that Zeus was the one you wanted to be with.

"Come," he said, gesturing for you to follow him. "Let me show you the world as only a god can."

And with that, you set off on an adventure that would last for eternity. You travelled to places that mortals could only dream of, saw wonders that no human had ever laid eyes on. You watched as Zeus wielded his power, summoning thunder and lightning at will, and felt a sense of awe wash over you.

As time passed, you grew to love Zeus more and more, and he in turn lavished you with affection and gifts beyond measure. You knew that you had made the right choice, and that you would never regret it.

And though you missed your mortal life at times, you knew that the eternity you would spend with Zeus was worth it. For with him by your side, you would never want for anything, and together you would rule over the world with a power and grace that no mortal could ever attain.

You and Zeus spent eternity together, traveling through the cosmos and experiencing things beyond the comprehension of mortals. He showed you the wonders of the universe, and you reveled in the power and majesty of the god of thunder. As time passed, your love for each other only grew stronger.

One day, after a particularly long journey, Zeus suggested that the two of you take a break and go stargazing on a hill in Olympus. As you made your way up the hill, you could feel the excitement building in your chest. You had never seen Zeus like this before, so relaxed and carefree.

As you reached the top of the hill and lay down on a blanket, Zeus reached out and took your hand. "I wanted to show you this," he said, pointing up at the sky. "Look."

You followed his gaze and saw a cluster of stars shining brightly against the dark sky. "What is it?" you asked.

"That," he said, his voice soft, "is the constellation of Lyra. It's named after the lyre, an instrument that my son Apollo is particularly fond of. He used to play it for me when he was younger."

As he spoke, you could hear a hint of sadness in his voice, and you realized that even gods had their moments of regret and longing. "I didn't know you had a son named Apollo," you said softly.

Zeus nodded. "He's one of my favorites," he said. "He's the god of music and poetry, and he has a way of making even the most serious of gods laugh."

You smiled at the thought of the gods laughing and joking together like old friends. "What else do you like to do?" you asked, curious to learn more about the god you loved.

Zeus shrugged. "I don't really have any hobbies," he said. "I suppose ruling over the gods and mortals keeps me busy enough."

"But surely you must have something that you enjoy doing," you said, propping yourself up on your elbow to look at him.

Zeus was quiet for a moment, and you could see him considering your question. "I suppose I do have one thing," he said finally. "I like to watch mortals."

"Watch mortals?" you repeated, surprised. "Why?"

Zeus chuckled. "Because they're so fascinating," he said. "Each one is different, with their own hopes and dreams and fears. And they're so fleeting, their lives passing in the blink of an eye. It makes me appreciate what I have, knowing that I will live forever."

You listened as he spoke, marveling at the complexity of his thoughts. Even after all this time, there was still so much you didn't know about him. But you were excited to keep learning and growing with him, to explore the mysteries of the universe together.

As the two of you sat there in the quiet, you couldn't help but feel a sense of peace wash over you. It was a side of Zeus that you had never seen before. He wasn't the all-powerful, thundering god of the sky, but rather a vulnerable and introspective being.

After a few moments of silence, Zeus turned to you and spoke. "I know I can be quite intense at times," he said, his voice soft. "I understand that my power can be overwhelming, even frightening. But I want you to know that with you, I feel like I can be myself. I can let my guard down and just be."

You smiled, feeling your heart swell with affection for this god who had taken you as his own. "I love you, Zeus," you said, your voice barely above a whisper.

Zeus turned to you, his eyes shining with emotion. "And I love you, my dear," he said, taking your hand in his. "I never imagined that I would find someone who could see past my power, who could love me for who I am."

As you sat there, basking in the glow of your love for one another, you couldn't help but feel grateful for the fateful night when you had chosen Zeus over the other gods. You had found your true soulmate, your eternal love, and together, you would spend eternity exploring the wonders of the universe and beyond.

From that day forward, Zeus made an effort to show you more of his vulnerable side. He took you on long walks through the gardens of Olympus, where he shared stories of his past and his hopes for the future. He showed you his favorite constellations in the night sky and taught you the stories behind each one.

As time passed, you and Zeus grew even closer, forging an unbreakable bond that would stand the test of time. Together, you faced the challenges of eternity, navigating the ever-changing landscape of the godly realm and beyond.

And as you looked up at the stars each night, hand in hand with the love of your life, you knew that you had made the right choice all those years ago. Choosing Zeus had been the best decision you had ever made, and you would never regret it.
