Daughter of Hades (Harry Hook X Reader)

Chapter 21: The Date

You looked at yourself in the mirror. Evie had helped you choose your outfit, which was a simple short black dress, black tights, two long dangling necklaces, a dark green army jacket and your black combat boots. She had even curled up your hair just a bit to get some waves in it, and she did your makeup. The entire time she was doing this, you couldn't help but feel like a doll that she enjoyed dressing up. It was fun, but tiring.

"You look great" Phobos threw a grape into his mouth.

"Almost as great as our mother" Deimos mimicked his twin's trick.

"Don't you guys have classes or something?" You turned to them. "Did you transfer to annoy me?"

"How rude" Phobos faked a gasp. "We were only complimenting you. You should be glad that we didn't mention that loose hair you have"

"What!" You looked back at the mirror, trying to find that loose hair the young god mentioned. Phobos laughed at your reaction.

"Zeus! I'm joking" Phobos dodged a pillow you threw at him.

Knock knock

"That must be him" Deimos opened the door. Harry stood at your doorway with his hands behind his back. As usual, he wore black and red leather clothing. The moment his eyes met yours, he felt that cliche of time stopping. He never thought he would have that experience in his life. I guess those stupid fairy tales are true. He thought.

"Well, you two better get going" Phobos pushed you toward Harry, grabbing your phone and giving it to you. "Have fun, but be safe. Don't go burning down villages without us. Bring her home by curfew"

"Wait -" You turned around.

"Take care of her, Harry" Deimos smiled while closing the door. You looked at Harry, smiling shyly about the twins acting like your parents.

Harry grabbed your hand. You never understood when your mother talked about butterflies in her stomach when she first met your father, but you do now. Without saying a word, the two of you set out to your date.

"So where are we going?" You asked while getting on Harry's motorcycle.

"That, my dear, is a surprise" Harry winked at you

A surprise. You remembered when he took to that mountain top. Could this be another secret spot of his? When you first met Harry, you didn't think that he can be a romantic but he seems to be proving you wrong. You're excited to see where he's taking you.

You stared wide-eyed at the busy market of the Isle. People were yelling/laughing/talking while construction noise can be heard in the background. Everyone was busy running errands or hanging out. Harry handed you a pretzel he bought - well, you think it's a pretzel just by looks. It was covered with this dark goop, and looking at the booth where Harry bought it from, you only saw goblins fighting. It tasted like bread mixed with chunks of fruit in the goop. Looking at the pirate smiling while enjoying his own goopy pretzel, you found yourself smiling as well.

"Come on" Harry nodded his hand to follow him.

You've been to the Isle once when Harry took you to your father's mine, but he never gave you a tour. Harry took you and showed you all of his favorite spots, telling you short stories about his childhood. You would ask questions and Harry would answer as true as he can. He would smile whenever you would grow some flowers that were dying in someone's garden. Children would see and awe at the sight of magic, to which you would smile and place your index finger to your lips, telling them to keep it a secret. Harry would chuckle and wrap his arm around you and told the children to scram back to their mothers.
