Poseidon stopped inside of a rather large library. Y/n coming to stop beside him as she gazed at him curiously.

Wait, I'm looking directly at him. Am I allowed to do such a thing?

Maybe he caught my lingering gaze from earlier and is going to punish me for it! Oh by the Gods, I don't want to die tonight.

Turning to her, he lifted his hand. Her body instinctively flinching away. But instead of receiving a harsh hit, she instead felt a gentle touch against her forehead.

"It's troublesome having our memories locked away for something so trivial. Honestly, that woman annoys me."

And with those words, something seemed to click in her mind as she suddenly remembered her whole interaction of the God of the Seas. It wasn't anything special, and it wasn't life threatening either.

It was just a simple interaction between a fearsome God and a fearful Goddess.

"There. Do you remember everything?"

"Yes," she mumbled, her eyes once again not meeting his as she titled her head away from him.

The action irked him to say the least. He was already annoyed with the feeling of jealousy within him. And he felt that the feeling would disappear if he and y/n left the room so that Hades wouldn't be around.

And yet the feeling remained.

Deciding to act upon this, he lifted his hand once more. His fingers wrapping around her chin as he jerked her head over so that she was looking up at him. Her eyes wide with an ebbing fear, "yes, what?"

"Y-yes, Lord Poseidon."

That .. helped. It helped more so than he thought it would.

He raised his thumb so that he was caressing light circles against her cheek.

Honestly, his actions were confusing to him. He felt that the things he was doing were worthless. Meaningless even. He was a perfect being, and yet he found himself wanting this Goddess all to himself all because of silly little first meeting he had with her from some time ago.

It confused him to no end.

"Ah, i thought I would find you two here."

Letting go of her chin, and allowing his hand to fall to his side, Poseidon looked over to his brother, Hades. His eyes narrowed ever so slightly.

"Shouldn't you be taking care of something," he warned.

Hades, letting out a lighthearted laugh as he entered the room, merely gave a small tilt of his head, "i have already taken care of it."

It sounded to y/n that they were speaking of something important.

"I- I must apologize. If you two have something to talk about, I can .. I can excuse myself."

Just as she was about to leave, Hades had gently grabbed at her arm. His smile remaining on his face.

"Stay. This matter .. actually concerns you."

It was an order. That much was obvious. So she stayed.

"May i ask what you mean by that," she managed to say with a little bit of confidence. Her eyes looking up at him between her eyelashes. Every part of him was telling him to whisk her away again. But .. he knew Poseidon would have little fit if he did that.

"Well, you see y/n. You have also met me before. Just as you have met Poseidon."

Her confused little face was adorable.

Deciding to let her memories do the talking for him, he also raised his hand towards her forehead. His fingers lightly pressing against her skin after gently brushing the loose strands of hair.

Poseidon couldn't help but to notice how she didn't flinch a single time from Hades. It was as if the feeling of his jealousy was coming back in full force. He didn't like it one bit.

"O-oh, I- i met you too," to have so many memories crash into her mind so soon, it was all overwhelming to say the least. Her feet becoming wobbly as she stumbled, Hades already there to catch her and to steady her so she wouldn't fall.

"But I still don't understand," she started, "what did you have to take care of?"

Hades merely grinned as Poseidon couldn't stop his own smirk from forming across his perfectly sculpted lips.

"Oh, that."

Poseidon had walked behind them. Yes, the feeling of intense jealousy was still ever present, but he sought to ignore it for the time being. He wanted to fully pay attention to this little endeavor of theirs.

"You see, my dear, we wanted your mother to forget all about you, so you could say we changed her memory of you. Though, of course, I had to change everyone else's as well."

"Which was why," Poseidon finally spoke, wrapping his arms around her shoulders locking her into a hug from behind as Hades placed his hands on the sides of her face. His thumbs lightly rubbing small circles into her skin, "I said not to do this on my so called birthday. You wouldn't have had to erase so much memory if you would have just went along with what I had planned from beginning."

"That is true," Hades lightly hummed, "but storming m/n's palace and demanding what we wanted would have caused an uproar that would be most annoying. Wouldn't you agree?"

As the two went back and forth, y/n couldn't help but to feel dizzy.

Erase my mother's memories? Are they saying my mother won't remember me now?

But why? I don't understand their actions?

Why would they do this?

Her weakening state, and wobbly legs were quick to gather their attention. Pure amusement flickering in Hades' eyes as pure indulgence flickered in Poseidon's.

They were enjoying this a bit too much were they not?
