Falling in Olympus

God to God Talk

With nothing else to do, Jimin was walking around Olympus the next day. He was supposed to be with his father, training with his bow and arrow and controlling his powers. But he decided to go for a walk instead. He found himself by the acropolis where the Parthenon, where Athena and Gracie lived, was.

He saw Gracie out in the yard, reading a book as she laid on the grass. Smiling to himself, he started walking again only to have his arm yanked and to find himself face to face with Athena. She let go of him and crossed her arms, eyeing him up and down as if to assess him.

"Good morning, Athena," Jimin greeted her politely, bowing his head.

"Hmph," she huffed, "what are you doing?"

"Oh just walking around," he answered.

"Do you like my daughter?" Athena asked him straightforwardly. Her question caught him by surprise as he stepped back.

"U-um, of course I do. She's a very good friend of mine," he answered safely.

Athena squinted at him, "don't play dumb, you know that's not the answer I'm looking for."

Jimin ran his hand through his pink hair nervously, "w-well you see, I've actually liked her for awhile."

"So it's true. You, Hoseok, and Yoongi all like my daughter," Athena concluded.

His eyes widened, "they do?"

Athena nodded her head, "and it seems like my daughter isn't even aware."

With one last look at him, she turned and left before Gracie catches her. Jimin shrugged his shoulders and began to walk again. He felt someone tap on his shoulder, but when he stopped walking to look behind him, he found no one there. With a frown etched on his face, he turned around again only to find Gracie standing there in front of him. Her hands planted on her hips as she looked at him in amusement.

"Ah!" He yelped in surprise, "Gracie!!"

Gracie grinned at him, "what are you up to, Mochi?"

He tried to stop himself from smiling at the nickname she called him. Out of all their friends she was the only one allowed to call him that and he made sure that they knew it.

"Just kind of walking around," he shrugged, "trying to put off my responsibilities."

She shook her head at him jokingly, "I saw you talking to my mother, what was that about?"

Jimin played it cool, "she just asked how I was doing."

"Ahh I see," she told him, not believing him one bit, "well if you have nothing better to do, you want to go spar with me?"

"Sparring? Gracie, training is exactly what I'm trying to avoid today. Plus you'll just kick my butt while sparring," Jimin chuckled.

Her lips turned into a pout as she huffed almost making Jimin change his mind. Almost.

"Alrighty then. I'll see you later." Gracie said, waving him goodbye and walking away towards the colosseum.

Jimin pinched the bridge of his nose, "damn it, you idiot."

In Tartarus, Hades was in his palace, pacing back and forth as he tried to come up with a plan to get Yoongi and Gracie together.

"No, no, that won't work. She's far too smart for that," Hades mumbled to himself. He heard his doors open and his brothers walked in, big smiles on their faces.

"Ohhhh brotherrr!" Zeus greeted him, giving his brother a big hug, lifting him off the ground.

"Put me down you giant buffoon!" Hades demanded of him. Zeus put him down immediately while Poseidon punched Hades' arm.
