Thanatos
The God of death, the God everyone loathes, and yet the one everyone longs for at the end, the God they cling too, seek comfort in, the God all the others forget about and yet... Olympus itself would fall without him.
He's lonely... under...

"Wake up dear sister, you cannot sleep all day" Zagreus bellowed, throwing my bedroom curtains open and letting the afternoon light in. As well as the 5 maids who began taking over my quarters, rushing about to tidy again and find me something to wear.
I had decided to take a rest after a full day of collecting souls. I had been on my own today as Thanatos had his hands full with the Trojan war. But I would be seeing him tonight, he had agreed to start painting me after all.
I arose and re-dressed, opting for something appealing I would find something to wear for my painting later but I wanted Thanatos to notice me. Something I do not think he has ever done... but something I longed for...

I sighed as I sat on the end of my bed, my head in my hands. Today had been exhausting, the war was taking too many lives, it was all piling up and even Lord Hades was not keeping up with the judgements so well.
"Thanatos?" I turned my head up at the beautiful voice calling my name My name. God it sounded so alluring on her lips I felt like a love struck fool gravitating towards the siren call "Princess" I breathed, standing up to greet her properly.
She smiled "Macaria..." She said simply, I nodded I could not call her that, she was better than me, higher up and if I said her name I was pretty sure I would not be able to hold myself back from spilling all my lovesick truths
"I am not intruding am I?" She asked, looking around My room was not much, a bed, a wardrobe, some shelves and books scattered everywhere.
"No" I said immediately, her smile brightened "So... where do you want me?" She asked, her words made her eyes widen, a warm blush creeping up her pale skin I myself practically choked over her words.
"N-not like that... I just mean um- w-where should I be for the painting?" She asked softly It was silent for a moment as I tried to think "Uh... where uh- where do you want to be?" I asked nervously.
She thought for a moment, before an idea flashed across her face, but she remained quiet "Princess?" I asked, causing her head to snap up to me, her eyes devouring mine.
"Could we maybe um... w-well I would like to have one of me on my bed, like the paintings in the museums, they just look so... natural" she explained quietly I swallowed harshly as she spoke. Her bed?... her room?... oh god.
"Of course" I said without thinking, my eyes widening slightly as I realised what I had said "Really?... Oh Thanatos thank you" she said, wrapping her arms around me and hugging me. Again.
