Persephone

Hades

Fuck! Don!

Don stands up and walks towards the door to Thanatos.

"You can't be here."

Thanos laughs, "Too bad, I'm already here shark boy."

"Don't test me, Thanos," Don growls.

Thanos shrugs my brother off and walks past him.

"Fifi," he greets

"Fuckboy," Fifi spits.

I look at Persephone who is currently enjoying her garlic bread, how can she be so calm during the chaos, they did say she is the queen of chaos.

"My, my, my, who is this beautiful young lady."

I got up and stopped him from getting any closer to her.

Persephone looks up and stares at me, "He just wants to say hi."

Persephone stands up and reaches out her hand, Thanos pushes me aside and shakes her hand.

"Thanatos Wilson," he smiles.

"Persephone Jones," she smiles back.

Thanos looks baffled for a minute, "Nice to meet you."

"Likewise," and she sits back down.

Thanos looks at me and his eyes turn red, he is not happy. We gods have a common weakness we sometimes forget about, our eyes change colour according to our emotions, sadly Thanatos never managed to learn to control his and a few other gods and goddesses.

"I'm glad you could join us cousin, take a seat," I say with a smirk.

"I thought I wasn't welcome here," he says.

I chuckled, "You proved that you could play nice, so I'll let you stay."

Thanos gives a curt nod and takes his seat.

Tyson serves Thanos the starter and once everybody is calm, Don decides to break the ice.

"So, the reason why Mr. Wilson here asked you to come over for dinner Persephone, is he has a crush on you, and he is just beside himself about it."

Don!

I groan internally, I hate my brother, he can such a tool sometimes, he always does this to me, making my life difficult and embarrassing me every chance he gets in front of any woman I come across, apparently it is his job to do so.

"Don't deny it, Hades," Fifi smiles mischievously, supporting her husband's childish behavior.

"Really guys!"

"It's kind of obvious though," Don adds.

My eyes widen, "Is it?"

Everyone nods.

Dammit.

"Persephone, what do you do?" Thanos asks.

"She works for me," I butt in before she can answer.

"I work for Mama June's Flower Shop," she says, kicking my foot underneath the table, I do not make a sound, but it hurts, who knew Louis Vuitton shoes could hurt like hell?

"Oh."

"She'll be working on my black roses for the next couple of weeks," I add.

Thanos hums, "Enjoy baby girl, Hades here is very difficult to work with."

Persephone smiles, "I look forward to it and I do enjoy a good challenge."

After that Thanos does not say a word, which is worrying to me because he's always running his mouth, but something shut him up. I don't know if it is Persephone's bravery or something else, but I intend to find out.
