Hades and Persephone

11

"No no! It's all wrong!" He roared before sighing and rubbing his forehead. Persephone had helped quite a lot with his sudden and quick anger out breaks but he still had them on occasion which was even worse when she wasn't with him during spring and summer

He gives a small sigh "It's gotta be rose gold band with green vines wrapped around a black rose. She won't like a diamond. She's different. She wants something meaningful" he calmly explains to the very patient jeweler

"And you've got her ring size?" The jeweler asks with a small before Hades hastily pulls a small string from his pocket. "It's small. I know, that makes the design harder but it's gotta be perfect" to that the jeweler smiles and nods "I agree. She must have the best. For that the ring could take, hm. Maybe 3 months. 2 and a half if you would be alright with some others helping" Hades hastily shakes his head "No, only you please. It's gotta be absolutely perfect" He answers

The jeweler smiles "Yes. Top of the list, I will get it done as soon as possible and deliver it to you personally" he says

Hades nods "Absolutely. I'll pay you now" he says before giving him some payment before walking out and heading back to his castle

Persephone wouldn't be down for about 2 more months which would be absolutely perfect for the ring. After that first time he had truly felt happy he just couldn't stop smiling. Though there was less smiles when she was gone he still smiled when he thought of her. And he would count down every single hour until she came back. He loved being busy and then realizing the day had flown by quickly and his Queen was one day closer to being home with him

The ring was something she kinda spoke up. He knew she didn't want a diamond. Too basic and predictable she said. She wanted something that kinda tied them together. So the beautiful green vines were her beautiful in spring and the black rose was the beauty he saw in her when she came home to him

On occasion when something was unbearably hard to bear or when a day was particularly poor weathered he knew she was upset and would hurry to see if she was at the same spot she fell in a few years ago. Sometimes she was. And he could spend hours talking with her until she was in a happy mood and everything turned right around which meant she would need to go back and be with the others until it was time for them to be together again

Thinking of all of this and his beautiful queen made him particularly sad as he sat on his throne and looked over the empty room with a sigh. Her hair always smelt like sun and crisp air when she came because it was getting colder and she wasn't needed any longer. Sometimes if spring was late she could stay a month more with him. Or if it came early she would have to leave quickly

Being in love was almost a very hard thing when it was done this way. Especially if they did get married as he intended. He smiled at the thought and sat back, he knew exactly how he would propose to her. It had been planned out in his head for months now. It was rather difficult not to say something to her when he was distracted and not remembering it was to be a surprise. He so badly wanted to tell her. To ask her to be his and his only forever. His to hold and keep, to love and cherish with every part of himself. And he would. He intended on giving her the most amazing life though he has already tried to do just that. It was always breakfast in bed twice a week then the massive marble tub was filled to the brim with sweet waters and candles were lit everywhere because she adored them. Sometimes he would lay with her until the water got cold but sometimes he would sit by and talk with her to give her space and to avoid smelling as sweet as she did. He loved how she smelled, just not when he smelled like that

He quickly sat up after remembering something. She had mentioned dancing last time and he had made a note to remember to take her out some place beautiful and dance with her. Maybe they could catch some rain somewhere. He couldn't leave his place for long but just enough time to give her what she wanted

After finding the room very boring he decided to grab some food from the kitchen and make his way to his room. He passed Persephones room on the way and stopped with a smile. He gently pushes open the door and looks in. This was now her painting room since she stayed with him. She would paint all over the walls until there was nothing left then paint it white and do it all over again. She also would bring a small pot of soil every time she came and grow small plants in the room to keep in lively. After a moment of looking around he goes to her paint drawers and peaked in to see if any paint was unexpectedly low and needed to be refilled before she arrived but he had already filled everyone to the brim. He sighs as he looks around once more before walking out and going to his room

He sat on his bed and began to eat the food. He tries his best to be happy when she wasn't there because she said it made him a better person and he wanted to be his absolute best for her. After finishing his dinner he grabbed a notebook from the table by his bed and starts to write in it, things of his day and how much he loved and missed her before writing the date

He and Persephone had begun this thing where each had a notebook they would write in to the other person as much as possible before giving it to them before she left the next time. It made her leaving much easier when he could go back and read the thinks she wrote. The small things she would notice and it would make him blush to hear of how she saw him through her beautiful eyes. He felt oddly like a giddy child riddled with love fever all over and while he would only let it out when no one was near he never bothered to hide it around her anymore. He never hid anything from her unless it was a kind surprise he had prepared to see the joy and happiness over her face. That was one thing he absolutely couldn't wait for

I'm back!! For now at least
What did you think? Cute? Or too cringe? Let me know!
Thank you all SOOOO much for waiting for me. I'm back for a while and will write all I can
