The Devil's Brother

Ch.24

Paimon

"Athena! You could of compromise the whole thing! And for what? Vengeance? Retaliation? Revenge? What!" God was screaming in the next room over at Athena.

"You okay,mate?" I asked and put a reassuring hand on Ares.

"I'm fine. Just can't believe she'd do something like this. I thought we had fixed our relationship. Our family." Ares sadly shook his head.

I felt bad for the bastard. I never had a family. Just my camel and Hel.

Lucifer and my parents were hardly family. Just people I had the displeasure of sharing blood with.

"It'll be okay. If not we are you family." Ivy Took a seat next to Ares and gave him a small hug.

"Thank you guys." Ares smiled at us.

"That sister of yours is unreasonable!" God slammed a door and walked into the den where most of us were sitting.

"You're telling me. Got a blade through the chest 6 hours ago." Ares chuckled.

"How is that, homeskillet? Need a bandaid or two?" Thanatos spoke from across the room.

"Homeskillet?" We all asked in sync causing an uproar of laughs.

"Yeah, like home dawg or homie?" Thanatos didn't seem to understand he was trying to hard to be human.

"Oh I get it! Home dawg!" Ivy clapped her hands.

"Thank you DD." Thanatos winked.

DD?

Oh my god this man was such a nerd.

"Of course." Ivy gave him a sweet smile that made my heart jump.

She looked so beautiful when she smiled.

"Hey Zeus?" I nodded at the large scary man in front of me.

"Yes,Boy?" Zeus crossed his arm.

"Can you join me on a walk?" I braced myself for the impact of a beating.

"Sure. I need to stretch my old bones anyhow." Zeus gave me an odd smile and stood from his sofa.

"We'll be back." I gave Ivy a quick unnoticeable peck on the cheek.

I lead Zeus in the courtyard of Heaven aka God's backyard.

"What did you need?" Zeus crossed his arms and continued walking down the flower lined path.

"I have feelings for Ivy. I know she's big and important and other kind don't exactly mix. But I'd like it if you could not kick my ass." I slowed down to watch him.

"I'm not stupid, Paimon. You both obviously have mutual feelings for each other. But you need to understand she is a leader she cannot be distracted by relationships." Zeus turned to face me.

"Were you not once in love?" I would be beheaded for this.

"Of course." Zeus looked at me with confusion.
