Prompt: What are the gods (Roman, Greek, even Egyptians) thinking about this pair? Are they worried? Angry? Dont even care?
Poseidon looked at his brothers.
Zeus looked possibly furious. Hades seemed almost indifferent to the situation.
"So..." Zeus said. "You're telling me that your son has been, ugh, dating an Egyptian god for half a year? And this god is Anubis, the god of Death?!"
Hades sighed, "Do you have to make me repeat myself three times, brother?"
The god of the skies scowled, "Watch your tone, brother."
Hades scoffed.
"I think it's great!" Aphrodite exclaimed. "I mean, they're sooo perfect together! And when they kiss, ugh, it makes me want to break thousands of hearts."
Apollo groaned, "Dude! I did not need to know that!"
"What? I can't voice my opinions on things?"
The archer groaned again, "Ugh! Your opinions are always about love or something."
Aphrodite crossed her arms, "Well-"
"Silence!" Zeus bellowed. "This is not the time for idle chatter. We will discuss this matter."
The gods fell silent.
Zeus sighed, "Now, then. I'd like to hear an opinion from all of you. Poseidon, you start."
The god of the seas huffed, why did he have to deal with this so early, "I guess I'm fine with it. I mean, they're young, well Anubis isn't, but anyway. They're young, let them do as they like."
Zeus said nothing, just gestured for the others to continue. "I'm fine with it. Just make sure the boys eat cereal," Demeter said, flicking her hair over her shoulder.
"My son will most likely die if he eats any more cereal," Hades muttered, earning a sharp look from the Harvest goddess.
"Hephaestus, what do you think?" Zeus asked, ignoring his brother's comment.
The god of blacksmith and fire furrowed his brows, "They are both of age and they're most likely aware of possible consequences. Who the son of Hades chooses to be with matters not to me."
Zeus nodded, but said nothing.
"I like Nico, and I trust his choices. I do not oppose this," Artemis said.
Poseidon raised his eyebrows. Artemis liked a demigod boy? That was a first.
Apollo snorted, "Dude, just because you like him doesn't mean he makes all the right choices." The moon goddess glared at him. "But, hey!" he continued. "Anubis is hot so someone getting him hooked is enough to make me want to see more of that."
Zeus arched an eyebrow, "Meaning?"
"I'm fine with it, man."
"Do not call me man, Apollo," the sky god grumbled.
"Whatever, man."
Zeus sighed, "Ares?"
The war god grunted, he scratched his nose, "I really couldn't care less about what your kids do in their free time. As long as it's not that son of Poseidon, Percy Jackson, I don't care."
"Very well. Aphrodite, you're obviously fine with this."
Aphrodite opened her mirror and studied her eyes, "Obviously. They're so cute."
Zeus turned his attention to Athena, "What do you think?"
The goddess of wisdom pondered the question, "Well. The Egyptian gods have a strict policy concerning union between mortals and gods. I am not sure what they will say bout this matter. However, I wish to hold myself neutral in this matter, there is much uncertainty involved in this."
"Well, then. Dionysus?"
The wine god sighed theatrically, sipping languidly from his Diet Coke, "Zeus. Have you ever known me to care about what our children do? I only oppose of my own children being with each other. Even if Anubis is a god, it won't make a difference. He's an Egyptian god, anyway."
"Zeus, I must say, relationships between gods and demigods aren't unheard of," Hermes spoke up. "This relationship is nothing to oppose. Even if he's not one of the twelve Olympians."
Zeus studied the god before turning to his wife, expectantly awaiting her reply. Hera crossed her arms and sighed, her eyebrows drawing together in thought, "Nico is well aware of the dangers of this union, as is Anubis. However, I must say that I am slightly worried for this god. He is immortal, and he must know that the boy's death is inevitable. Even so, I cannot say that I oppose of it."
Zeus seemed satisfied at this answer, "Well, then. It's settled, we affirm of this union."
"Finally!" Hades said. "Now we can open the doors to our visitors."
"Very well," Zeus muttered. "Bring them in."
Hermes nodded and walked out the door to the throne room. He returned after some time, seven gods in tow.
"My lord Zeus," Osiris spoke, now in deeply in front of the god of the sky.
"Osiris, it has been long since we last spoke," Zeus replied, giving the other a curt nod. It was clear to everyone that the Greek god wasn't all that fond of the Egyptians before him. But they behaved civilised.
"Now. We've just finished discussing the union of Anubis and Nico, Hades' son. We wish to know your opinions," Zeus continued, motioning for the gods to speak.
Osiris looked at Isis, who was standing by his side.
The goddess glanced at Zeus before speaking, "Lord Zeus, we all have our opinion on this matter. I myself, do not oppose of this. The Egyptian gods have always opposed of union between gods an mortals. However, considering Nico is a demigod, he is not completely mortal, he is also half god. Therefore, I cannot say that the rule would apply to this case."
The sky god nodded.
"Meow," Bast said. "I like this demigod, he's got a good heart and a will of stone. As much as I dislike the dog, I won't neglect him his love, I'm not that cruel~"
"Thank you for caring about my son his once," Nepthys said, smiling at the cat goddess. "I trust my son's decision in many matters, and this is not an exception."
Set huffed, "I do not think Anubis will bow down to the level of a demigod, however, I see no reason to oppose him, he is my son after all."
"Now of all times, you choose to act like a father?" Horus said, disbelief evident in his voice. "I've known Anubis a long time, and I know him better than his own father. I support him, and besides, Nico's a good guy."
Toth raised an eyebrow, "Horus, I didn't know you cared for Anubis. Well, of course I knew you cared, but not that it was to this extent." He sighed, "Anyhow, I hold myself neutral in this discussion. I stand both with the old rule and also Anubis. Even though this son of Hades is not entirely mortal, he is not entirely immortal either. Therefore, I regard myself neutral, neither with or against it."
Osiris nodded, "That is wise of you, Toth, as one would expect." He looked back to Zeus, "I do not oppose of this relationship. I have long viewed Anubis as a son, and I support him in his decisions."
Zeus stood up, "Very well. The twelve Olympians do not oppose of their union, either. We also know that our Roman counterparts agree with us on this decision. And it is obvious that you do not oppose it. Let us agree to stay out of this affair."
The god of the skies raised his hand. Osiris took it, "Agreed."

Well! That clears up a few things, I suppose. I felt like this prompt was interesting, and I wanted to see what I'd think they thought. If you guys have any opinions on this matter, or if you disagree on my views, please tell me, I can also write another chapter where they don't approve and all that.
