Hades' Chosen Prince

43. A Wrestle With Bright Eyes

As Joey was dragging me somewhere through the night sky I could only try my best to hold onto him by gripping shirt "I am perfectly capable of walking you know!?" I yelled since the air was making it hard to hear anything. Joey looked over to me and smiled innocently "oh I know, it's just that you're far too slow" he giggled, all I could do was huff and hope he doesn't drop me. "You better not let me fall bright eyes " I mumbled. I think he heard me because he started to smirk "you mean, like this?" He whispered tossing me up into the air. I yelped and screamed his name, he laughed a bit too loud and caught me as I dropped next to him. Only this time we were facing each other. A blush creeping to our cheeks
"... Hey" I said looking into his light blue eyes, "hey" he answered with a slight smile, "is there by any chance, any at all, that we already got where you wanted to know each other?" I asked, Joey nodded and started to descend, our eyes not parting from each other.

Soon I felt my feet reaching land, I broke off our stare. It seemed like he took me to a deserted island. Knowing this I looked at Joey and raised an eyebrow "why did you bring us here, it seems like you want something", Joey blushed and stammered "I-I didn't meant it that way. I just.. I just wanted to show you my secret island... Well it's not mine I found it a while ago, made my cabin and all".

I nodded and sat on the sand "so... We're still in New York?" I asked looking towards the water, Joey nodded pulling out a chair from under a palm tree and sat on it "yeah just a few ways over, so far it seems like only we know of this place".

I smiled ever so slightly watching the waves crash on the shore, Joey started at me and shook his head "hey I know the ground is comfortable and all, it's even sandy, but you can always have a seat", I blinked and looked towards him "I only see one chair" Joey smirked and patted on his lap, this made me blush pink and get up brushing the sand off my pants, Joey giggled and watched me "the ground is fine, but I prefer my own chair" I said and soon shadows gathered next to me making a throne like chair, Joey furrowed his eyebrows and smiled "show off" he mumbled.

I smiled and sat on my chair, the moon was glowing brightly over us, it's reflection off the waves was even more beautiful, something or someone told me to look at Joey, so I did, his light blue eyes shimmering with the light of the moon, his goofy smile always on his lips, Joey caught on to this and extended his fist towards me "you do fist bumps?" He asked tilting his head, I shrugged and did the same fist bumping him, "not really, but I can make an exception for you since I like.... I uh..... Never mind that" I mumbled blushing slightly

Joey grinned and patted his lap "so you like me huh? I wanna do something about that. Come, sit on my lap" I blushed and shook my head "I may like you, but it doesn't mean I'm an easy catch," I said with a smirk, Joey blushed brightly, groaned and rolled his eyes "ooooh I was so close, gotta admit" he said as he used his fingers to demonstrate how close he was. I smirked more and leaned back on the chair "guess you'll have to try harder son of Zeus", Joey smirked back "I'll get you someday son of Hades, that is a royal promise" I laughed softly and nodded making a small shadow snake around my neck "wanna know something cool?" Joey nodded as he played with sparks on his fingers "sure".

"Well one of your sisters gave me some of you guys' powers, only taught me how to fly though", Joey, confused, starred at me and furrowed his eyebrows "aaannnnnd how this did happened exactly?" I shrugged and hovered over my chair "some weird chant she did" he nodded and looked at me "who is this person who made this weird voodoo chant?" He asked, I looked over at him and smiled slightly "Jasmine, Jasmine Lion" Joey gasped and smiled "I know that prankster, Jasmine, she sometimes takes things too far, along with that Andy girl she used to hang around with" he nodded and stood up in front of me with his arms crossed "rematch right here, right now" I blinked at him and hovered down in front of him "alright, no weapons this time". He nodded and smirked "this time we'll see how STRONG you really are" he demanded getting into a wrestling position, I nodded and opted for a similar position as his.

He quickly bent over and grabbed my legs, I yelped and held onto his sides to try to throw him off, but he quickly pushed my legs forward making me fall on my back, he tried to get me into a type of wrestling lock, but I acted swiftly shifting our positions, my hands gripping his's over his head and me sitting on his stomach to prevent him from moving, I smirked, but Joey smirked back, then he lifted his legs, his knee digging into my back, I groaned and arched slightly against him "use your whole body as a weapon! Keep moving so they can't get a grip" he said pushing his knee even more. I groaned and shifted my legs to spread his while keeping a grip on his hands "damn a strong grip" he mumbled and wiggled wildly, "why thank you, I may not seem like it, but I'm far stronger than you think" I said pressing my chest onto his to get him to stop moving "well.. I know of you from Jasmine, and honestly I got jealous, she gets to hang out with such a handsome guy like you" I blinked and blushed slightly looking at him "and... I guess you can say I wanted to see what the fuss was about, but hearing the sorrows and actually meeting you... And fighting with you only made my feelings stronger for you" he said panting as he saw into my bright pink eyes with a blush creeping to his cheeks, I smiled slightly and leaned closer to his lips "then we'll see what the fuss is all about in a matter of seconds" he blushed even more and closed his eyes as our lips got closer and
