their goddess || hades & poseidon ✓

The doors opened for a final time as Poseidon made his way out, silence filling the grand pavilion within the underwater palace. His eyes scanning the crowd before looking away. It was no secret that he considered them filth. Humans being even worse than filth ( thankfully no one was dumb enough to bring a human there ).

Hades, seeming to have no fear, had delicately plucked up y/n's hand and fitted it onto his forearm. His legs than striding over to his dear brother while dragging along a scared y/n beside him.

"Brother, I hope meeting with everyone has lightened your mood on this grand occasion?"

Poseidon's eyes flicked from Hades and then to Y/n, his mind seemingly at work.

"No."

Y/n wanted to die right then and there. She truly felt it was her fault for his worsened mood. He did have to tell her to come closer after all! Heck, maybe she was supposed to be that close to begin with and no one sought to tell her!

Did she offend him from standing at the other end of the table while introducing herself?

She sure hoped not-

"Come now! Surely it was a gift to finally meet m/n's daughter."

"I had already met her once before."

"You have?"

M/n seemed to materialize out of nowhere with a slight gleam in her eye. Her mind at work as she thought of the past.

"If I do remember correctly, then I think Poseidon did come to visit me once, but only because of a little trouble the sea was having due to something that i had caused with fisherman lover affairs. Anyway, getting a bit off track, Poseidon was waiting around, clearly mad might I add, when y/n had stumbled upon him. She must have heard that someone was visiting and wanted to see who it was, and well low-n-behold it just so happened to be Poseidon."

"Uhm, mother?"

"Yes my dear?"

"I- I don't exactly remember this..."

"Ah yes, that's because I didn't want you to. I didn't want you to meet anyone, talk to anyone, make friends with anyone. To me, you are a perfect daughter in no need of such interactions. You are just too pure and precious that the world doesn't deserve to even gaze upon you."

Y/n seemed to fidget a little. Her hand gripping Hades arm a bit too tightly as he glanced down at her for a moment.

"Mother, you can't keep me away from the world forever .. I want to see everything too."

"Oh! But my dear, you truly don't need anything else but the comforts of home, do you not? All the other Gods and Goddesses will just use you."

Y/n glanced at Hades for a brief moment.

"Even Hades?"

"Well-"

"Even Lord Poseidon?"

"My dear-"

The "lord" part was quick to catch Hades' attention. The conversation at hand was turning a bit too dangerous, so he thought to change the subject.

"Oh? Lord Poseidon? Not that I disagree with the statement, but don't I, too, deserve the title of Lord, miss
y/n?"

His sudden inquiry caused her to blush profusely, her (color) skin heating with with a darker pigment. Her words seeming to leave her as she tried to process what he said.

"I- I'm sorry, I- I didn't realize I was being rude when addressing you. Please forgive me, L- Lord Hades."

That .. sounded too good to him. It made him imagine something he shouldn't be imagining. At least not in such a public place.

Now, one might be wondering about Hades behavior. Isn't he acting too fast on his emotions?

Truth be told, he wasn't.

Because when Poseidon went to see m/n that one time to discuss important matters, Hades had decided to tag along with him. Mainly because he wanted to see the rumored "child that no God has seen" that had been circling around the all Pantheons.

And damn was he happy that he went.

He got to meet y/n first before Poseidon did, and she was an absolute joy to be around. She stuttered quite a lot and always gave him those shy yet curious looks everytime he spoke of something that she never heard of before.

The only reason why m/n and
y/n don't remember his little visit was because he made both of them forget at the same time. It was a well calculated risk, but he saw it as a must need for what he started to plan. And he made sure that Poseidon wouldn't utter a word either. Not that the Sea God would. ( and because his brother was in on the plan as well .. )

Laughing at her cute little stutters in her apology, he reached over and patted her head, "I think I like the sound of that, why don't you continue to call me Lord Hades then?"

"O- oh, alright! I will," she smiled up at him as the tensions from before was quick to disappear into the thin air.

Poseidon, all the while, looking between the two with a sort of jealously. Why exactly were they so close? Poseidon didn't like the feeling he was having. It was a foreign feeling. Something that a perfect being such as himself should never have.

And yet, looking at them in such a manner .. it made his blood boil. If looks could kill, then his dear older brother would already be dead.

The room had already gotten colder because of that. And the party guests couldn't help but to shiver as they kept their distance and talked amongst themselves. Not once daring to even look at Poseidon.

"Well, then. If I didn't know any better, then I would say that Poseidon wishes to speak with you, y/n."

Another change in subject. This time being more abrupt than the last.

"M/n, I do remember having to speak to you about something rather important, so let's leave these two alone for a bit, yet?"

M/n, looking to her daughter in a slight worry, finally nodded to Hades as y/n's hand dropped from his arm.

Poseidon and y/n being left in the room near the door.

"Y/n."

"Y-yes?"

"Come with me."

"Ok, where are we going?"

He didn't answer as he turned on his heel. The door once again opening as he walked towards it. Her eyes widening as she followed after. Hades, all the while, could only watch after them in slight amusement.
