Chapter 31 ~ Aphrodite was salty

"You want me to bring the both of you to Eros?" Apollo took his round metal glasses off to look at the two royal descendants.

Saint nodded happily, "Well isn't he the only one who can uplift the curse?" she asked him.

Apollo held his forehead, "The two of you have never met him before, do you even know how powerful he is?" he stood up from Saint's throne and approached them.

Apollo was extremely worried that Eros would tear the Sun and Moon apart if their meeting got complicated. Eros was not a force to be reckoned with.

"Yeah but we're doing this for Sinclair, Saint and I want to have a chat with Eros and see if he could cure our friend." Oliver proposed.

Apollo thought about it carefully, all the possible scenarios flooded his mind making him feel dizzy. The bad outweighed the good but he did not know what Eros was like anymore, it had been a millennia since Apollo last saw him so he could not make his judgment about the god of love.

"I'm no longer speaking to you as a friend, I'm speaking to you as an Olympian God." Apollo paused to see if the two royals were listening to him before speaking again.

"For the safety of your relationship and health, I will not allow you to speak or have any contact with Eros for I shall speak to him myself." Apollo stated as he grabbed his glasses and leather notebook before disappearing into the light.

Oliver and Saint looked at each other and shrugged.

"What does he mean by 'the safety of our relationship'?" Saint emphasised her quotation with her fingers.

"I think it's best if we don't talk to Eros after all. Apollo did seem mad about it." Oliver suggested, bending down to rest his head on Saint's shoulder.

"I love you." Saint blurred out randomly.

"I love you too but that was random." Oliver chuckled and kissed her shoulder.

"I just wanted you to know that I do." Saint turned around and placed her arms on Oliver's shoulders before placing a soft kiss onto his lips.

Oliver smiled before pulling away and fixing his suit, "Let's go back to Sinclair." he grabbed Saint's hand and led her to the door.

Apollo was sitting on his modified chariot having a little chat with the God of Love on the phone.

"Why the heck are you in the Crystal kingdom?" Apollo asked as he crossed his legs to get into a more comfortable position.

"You could say that Hades and I are planning something." Eros smirked through the phone.

"Yeah well I need to talk to you about something. Ironically it involves the Crystal King." Apollo chuckled as he changed the location of his chariot to go straight to the Crystal castle. "Sinclair has Hanahaki Disease and he got the surgery but it came back, the boy loves Demian too much." he deadpanned.

Eros hummed into the phone before speaking, "And what is my purpose in this?" he asked.

"Duh, you're the god of love and you created this curse so why don't you lift it? It's been thousands of years since you created this curse and if you're still salty about what happened then bruh." Apollo obviously knew his place but he liked to push it sometimes, the risk of it was fun to him.

"Apollo, I know I created this curse a long time ago and I'm over about what happened but I can't break the curse. Only a relationship strong enough can break it, a relationship of pure love." Eros replied solemnly.
