You were exhausted. Your eyelids felt heavy, and drinking coffee didn't seem to help. You desperately wanted slumber, but something that lingered in your mind didn't allow you to. 

You felt strange, certainly not normal. Was it Eros' doing? You sighed and whimpered, clutching the sheets on your soft bed. Not even medicine helps.

"My love, are you alright?" Eros' voice appeared, echoing through your mind.

"I told you not to call me that," You replied, voice muffled by the pillow. "And yes, I'm fine."

"It's not nice to lie," You felt him trace your jawline with his finger.

You jolted up, tearing away from his soft touches and glared.

"Why do you care, Cupid!?" You hissed, anger evident in your tone, earning a frown from Eros.

"Please, I like Eros better. And I don't understand why you're so angry, (Y/N)," He said, a hurtful look in his eyes.

You felt a sudden pang of guilt. Why do you feel so guilty!? You absolutely hated it! You just desired for everything to go back to normal. Why did he have to show up anyway? Why does he care? You're just a normal human girl. What did you do to deserve this?

"I-I... Please, just let me be..." You said softly, draping the covers over your head.

But you should've known that he wouldn't leave that easily. You yelped when the sheets were yanked off your form. His arms wrapped around your waist and you were lifted up.

"Eros!" You exclaimed. "What are you doing!?"

He didn't answer. Instead, you felt a gust of wind, and you were sudden outside in the... Sky!? 

"E-Eros!" You screamed, your fear of heights activating.

You clutched him tightly, holding on for your dear life. He responded with a light chuckle.

"You're so adorable when you're scared~" He whispered in your ear.

"N-No, I-- Wh-Whoa! P-Please, let me down!" You stuttered fearfully.

"Relax. We're not falling. I got you, I won't let you go," He reassured you.

Your rapid breaths slowed down. You observed your surroundings of being in the sky. Much to your surprise, you saw a large pair of white feathered wings protruding from Eros' back, much like angel wings, but different.

It was sunset. Splashes and hues of pinks and oranges painted the skies, the clouds glowing a bright orange pink color. The golden sun began to set towards the horizon. Below you, there was the shimmering ocean, reflecting gold from the setting sun. The breeze felt refreshing, and the warmth of the sunlight against your skin felt soothing. In the distances, there was green, tall mountains. 

"Beautiful..." The word escaped from your lips in a whisper.

"Like you," Eros said.

You rolled your eyes. "How cheesy."

Suddenly, Eros began to move forward, his feather white wings gently shearing through the winds. It was actually quite fun, your fears of heights dissipating. 

Below you, the sea waves rose and fell. The air was warm, a sweet, salty scent lingering from the ocean.

You drank in the beauty of the scenery.

Eros, you still secure in his arms, lowered down to the ocean. Curved waves rose. Eros quickened his speed and went under a wave. You giggled, reaching out a hand to feel the water. Droplets of water got in your (H/C) tresses, causing it to glint. 

Your eyelids grew even heavier. You parted your lips to yawn. Eros smiled softly at you.

"Tired? Go to sleep, my love. I'll return you home."

His gentle words lured you into a slumber. When you were half asleep, you felt Eros gently press his lips against your temple. 

And with that, you finally felt into a sweet, desirable sleep.
