Poseidon's PoV

It was an accident. I swear, it actually was. I was thinking about Athena when I tried to pop back to my palace. So naturally, I landed in Athena's room. Naturally.

Athena immediately looks up and yelps in horror. She slapped my twice across my face, not even giving me a chance to defend myself.

"Look, I'm sorry I accidentally popped into your room, but it wasn't even intentional!" I quickly defended.

Athena was unfazed. "Oh yeah? Well, what would you do if I was changing? Just stare at me? How can you even "accidentally" pop somewhere other than your destination anyway?"

"I- I would've popped away immediately, or bleached my eyes, or something. Who ever said I wanted to see you naked?" I scoff.

"That still doesn't answer my question. How did you end up here?"

I swear my face was a tomato at this point. A golden one. "I was erm, thinking of you."

"Good things, I hope?" she smirks. Gods, this goddess will be the death of me. Sometimes I just want to pin her against the wall and kiss her senseless, but she would skewer me to death.

"Yes. All good things." I breathe, and for a second, I could imagine was going to slap me again, bracing myself. But she did something that surprised me more. She kissed on my cheek.

"I think you missed." I say cheekily, my brain surprisingly not short-circuting.

Athena laughed. It was a melodic sound, and I confess I was dazed. "Maybe next time." She winks.

"Um." was all I could say.

"Now get the hell out of my room." She pushed me out. I stared at the close door in dismay as she winks at me.
