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...

Days Days and days had passed by and mother never came back I had heard nothing of Zeus Nothing of mother Even Hermes was scarce.
It was just me and Hades Eating, walking, sleeping and conversing together Stuck to one another like two souls bound.
"This seems to be coming along... beautifully" Hades commented, stood above me as I sat in the dirt "Thank you" I said genuinely, smiling up at him.
He hovered above me a moment longer "Hades? Are you alright?" I asked "You look troubled" I commented "I am always troubled" he replied "About what?" I asked He looked around, for what I was not sure
For other people around who may hear his words For somewhere for us to go? For a way out of talking about how he felt.
"Sit" I said "What?" He asked "Sit with me" I said "In the soil?" He asked, I nodded, patting the space beside me He hesitated, before he lowered himself to my side, sitting amongst the flowers I had grew.
"You do not feel right do you?" I smiled "No, I feel dirty" he said "Do you think I am dirty?" I asked "No, no that is not what I meant, I am... I am just not used to... this" he said "I feel out of place" he said
"Well, I suppose we are sitting in the same boat then, are we not?" I teased "I am sorry, I did not mean it like that, I just... I am worried about you, about your mother" he explained I was worried for her too "I am fine, I promise, it is a little difficult... adjusting to life down here but, I do not wish to go home yet" I said
"You can stay as long as you wish" he said, staring into my eyes in ways that made schoolgirls blush "Forever preferably" he added I looked away, embarrassed as I had no idea how I had captivated a god such as him so fiercely.
"I like it here, ironically I feel more free here than home" I said, playing with my dress in my hands "Persephone" he said, gaining my gaze once more "Will you have dinner with me tonight?" He asked "Of course" I said, we had been having dinner together since I had decided to stay
I was unsure of his intention "Good" he mumbled to himself, before he stood up "I will leave you to your gardening" he said. "Alright, what will you be doing today?" I asked "I am meeting with Zeus, we are to discuss the next steps" he said "Depending on what your decision is" he went on
"Oh, I see" I said. I did need to make my decision. But I did not know what the answer was. He smiled down at me, his hand stroking down my cheek before he left me I wanted to stay here
