"You guys had sex? That's disgusting!" Hermes cringed.
"Aren't you supposed to be the god of boundaries?"
"Whatever."
"I can see you aren't the one to talk to about this." I say with a light chuckle.
Hermes responds, "It's just weird for me, alright? He is my family after all."
"I know," I sigh, "I'm sorry. I just didn't have anyone else to tell, not that I need to, but it's nice to have someone to talk to."
"I get it. You don't have any girl friends you can chat with?"
I think for a moment. "Nope. You're my only friend, and it's not like I can just place a call to earth."
"My whole purpose of being alive is to be a messenger between gods, I can easily go to earth and speak with your friends."
"I think it's better that I don't involve them in any of this." I admit.
"That is true, but you shouldn't tell them about my family anyway, they would think you're crazy."
"That's just the problem, Hermes. This is my life now, I couldn't act like a normal human if I tried."
"I wish I could help you, Saraphine. You're one of my best friends."
"You're my only friend, Hermes. I appreciate you so much."
"I appreciate you too. Sorry, I've got to go. Artemis has a message for someone. Duty calls."
"See you later, man."
Just like that, he disappeared.
Hades enters the kitchen, "did I hear you talking to someone?"
"Hermes was just here." I tell him.
I see a jealous look wash over him.
I roll my eyes, "Relax, we're just friends."
"You fucking better be." he states.
"Why are you so territorial?"
"Just the thought of anyone else trying to touch you, touch what is mine, makes me want to murder everyone around."
"I'm yours now?" I scoff.
"You have been mine since the moment I first saw you."
"When was that?" I question.
"It was one of the most special moments of my life. I was walking down the street after getting a coffee, truly one of the best things about earth. It was like everything else slowed down the second my eyes fell on you, you walked right past me, sketchbook in hand. The way your orange hair fell over your shoulder, and how your eyes only looked in front of you, waiting for the next great thing. You were the most angelic thing I had ever seen. So pure. I knew I had to have you."
I find myself blushing a little bit as he tell me his story.
"Then you stalked me for 7 months and lured me into the underworld."
"Yes, well, it might have been a selfish decision but it's the best one I could ever make. I know we are going to be so perfect together. I can not describe the way I feel around you, and I know you feel the same about me."
"I find you repulsive." I laugh.
"You can tell yourself that all you want, darling. We both know it is not true. I can not wait for the day you open up to me."
"I physically have opened up to you." I joke.
He shakes his head, "and it was beautiful, but there is so much more to you than just your amazing body. I crave your mind and soul."
"What happened to the sex addicted, no feelings, Hades?"
"You happened."
