Getting back what's yours.

chapter 4

"Hyacinthus.." Apollo says seeing his once deceased lover in front of him.

"Apollo.?" Hyacinthus says, he could have sworn he was dead just a moment ago.

"Am I...alive?" Hyacinth turned around to be greeted by the matrons of the underworld, sitting upon their thrones. "Yes child, you a very much alive. Thanks to me." Hades adds, with a smirk on his face. This of course earns him a smack on the shoulder from his wife. This whole interaction between the three is quickly cut short, as Apollo sprints twords his now immortal lover.

Hyacinthus is knocked back a couple steps, due to the force that just hit him from the back. Apollo grabs his lover into a tight embrace as if he could disappear any second. "oh my dear Apollo. I can not explain how happy I am to see you face again." Apollo doesn't answer he just pulls the boy in closer, Apollo rests his head on Hyacinthus, starting to sob into the beautiful boys neck and shoulder. "I'm so sorry..I'm sorry I let you die, I'm sorry I didn't bring you back sooner, I'm sorry-" Hyacinthus takes Apollo's glowing face that has tears running down it into his hands to quiet the sobbing god. He moves his mouth toward the gods ear a whispers "it's ok. For I have missed you to my love. For I could feel my un-beating heart break each day, aching for you my dear."

Apollo slows his breathing at Hyacinth's response, he lets his entire body weight go as he melts into his true loves touch. "Hyacinthus for I cannot explain how much I missed you, all of you." Hyacinth strokes Apollos golden hair inorder to comfort him, Apollo leans into the intoxicating feeling of Hyacinth's hands on his body. He takes this moment to straighten himself up, and cup Hyacinth's face with his own hands. As he does Hyacinthus opens his eyes to look at him, their eyes locked together Apollo asks him a lingering question. "May I kiss you my love.?" Hyacinth's face flushes a vibrant shade of red, but nods in response anyway "of course, for I haven't felt your touch in ages." With that Apollo presses their foreheads together, as they're mouths are centimeters apart they can feel each other's breathes, they savor the moment as they simultaneously lean in farther lips locking together in a harmonic but innocent kiss, light and fast, but the feeling lingers on they're lips as if they had just made out for hours.

When they are more then a couple inches apart they hear Hades clear his throat. "As happy as we are for you and your partner Apollo, I do wish you would save the intimacy for when you don't have an audience." Both Apollo and Hyacinthus flush red from embarrassment, as Persephone let out a giggle at all the boys faces. "Sorry uncle... we'll be going now. Thank you for bringing my dear Hyacinthus back to me, whatever you need from me now, and in the future I will do, or get." Hades nods and waves them off with out another word.

As they leave the underworld they appear back in the meadow, the same meadow that Apollo has laid in every day since Hyacinthus had passed. But now Hyacinthus was there with him, he still had a few hours before the sun need to rise, so he had time to spend with Hyacinthus. He grabs Hyacinth's hands and leads him to the tree that had grown in the meadow. As they sit down under it they just stare at each other not knowing what to say, so Hyacinthus speaks first "Apollo, I can not believe you actually brought me back.. I heard all your words every spring. I could feel your cries every night. I am so sorry that I left you alone for so long.." Hyacinth lowers his Head to look at the ground, feeling horrible for leaving Apollo All by himself for all those years.

"Hyacinthus." Apollo says as he uses a finger to Lift hyacinths Chin. "It's ok, it wasn't your fault or mine, it was zefuerus he blew the disc off course causing the injury to your head...his jealously ended your life, it was his fault not ours." Apollo let's out a breath then continues "look that's in past, your here now with me, for eternity. No one, will ever hurt you again." Hyacinthus now on the brink of tears nods his head, Apollo leans back against the tree and closes his eyes wrapping an arm around Hyacinth's waist. First Apollo feels the boy stur next to him, he the feels his head settle on the glowing gods chest, one arms over Apollos stomach, the other around his back.

Dispute gods not needing it, they both fall asleep like that.

It could not have been more than 3 hours that had passed when apollo woke, he looked down too see his dear Hyacinthus resting his head upon Apollos chest as they leaned against the tree. Apollo now looking at his lover, is absolutely smitten. He raises a hand to stroke the beautiful boys chocolate colored hair, he sits and plays with Hyacinth's lose curls, until he feels Hyacinthus begin to stir. As the beauty awakes he sits up next to the god to find him looking at him, with an expression that makes all the blood rush to Hyacinth's face and for a fire to be lit in his stomach.
Apollos looking the Hyacinth as though he created the universe, a look showing nothing but pure love.

Hyacinth moves his face in the opposite direction of Apollo as to stop his blushing. Apollo seeing this turns his body to face Hyacinthus, then takes two fingers and softly pulls Hyacinth's chin back twords him. Hyacinth's glittering skin is a bright red illuminated by the moon light, Apollo let's out an airy laugh at this this then pulls himself closer to the flustered god. He begins to place soft kisses all over his dear Hyacinth's face he then slows down and trails the kisses down to the others neck and collar bone. Hyacinthus draws in a breath at the action, Apollo halts to look at him questioningly "hmm.?" Hyacinth answers wondering what the other has to say.

Apollo pulls back and scoots closer to the boy, who's now slightly confused. Apollo rests his hand on Hyacinth's chest, and open his mouth "my love. I want to be your's, and yours only, I want you to be mine only. I want us to belong to each other, and only to each other." Hyacinthus is still slightly confused but nods. "What exactly are you asking Apollo?" Hyacinth asks whilst stroking the gods glowing golden hair. "I want us to make a sacred promise that can't be broken, it's the godly equivalent of getting married.. And I would love if you would agreed to doing it.?" Hyacinthus looks down at Apollo, Apollo moves off his chest to get a better look at the others face.

Hyacinthus thinks, but not for to long. He let's out a deep breath, then answers the eager Apollo.
