it was known , hermes panicked in relationships , especially when it came to forming intimate ones that would stay for long periods of time . it wasn't /new/ that his recent girlfriend had suggested moving in together , and joked about how it would be disgustingly domestic .
he'd broke out into a genuine sweat , responding with 'i think we should break up' and then blocked her number . yes , it was totally a d*ck move , and he'd earned a reputation for doing it . but there were /so/ many things that ran through his mind whenever it came to falling too hard . it wasn't that he dated people just for the physical aspect of things , hermes had a heart large enough that he could care and love every single one of them . after a few mishaps with loving mortals , he figured out the hard way that they aged , and died .
which was the worst part .
sure , other gods had time to grieve , and the things they had control over would wilt for a while as they did so . hermes had grieved too , after perseus had died , but after only a few days zeus had told him to stone up and get going . there were to many things he had control over , those needed attention too .
this time it was bad . hermes had /really/ liked her . some odd part of him had already seen a house down by the river , and thought : ' gods , it would be great to raise kids here with her .'
but he couldn't stay attached to people like that , it was dangerous . he couldn't go through pushing off grief again . it swallowed him too fast .
so maybe it wasn't the best idea to call eros , the god of love sexual desire and whatnot in this situation , but hermes knew that eros would probably love an excuse to ditch his job on a weekday .
so hermes texted with , ' E , kinda want to get wasted , u up ? '
and set his phone to the side , letting out an exhausted sigh . guess immortality didn't have the best perks .

hermes huffed indignantly , pounding another shot , ' 'm not crying ! '
even though he could feel the tears dripping off his chin , splattering on the bartable . he hated that he didn't know why he was crying himself . after furiously rubbing at his eyes for a minute , he looked up with a huff , ' i'm fine . '
he grunted when eros started to drag him across the floor , leaning back to snatch one of the last full glasses on the table , taking it with him .
' it's fine , i'm fine , i can handle it , ' he urged , but making no effort to send eros away . he was a bit confused on why they were headed to the men's bathroom , ' why are we going to the bathroom , i don't have to throw up yet ? ' he pointed out , nose wrinkling at the usual bathroom smells . there were a few stragglers doing their thing , and things on the floor that hermes surely did not want to be a part of . until , of course , do remember that he isn't really thinking in the most linear fashion ,
' ew is that a used needle ? ' he started , bending down to pick it up , ' eros , look , it's a used needle . ' he looked at eros , at the needle , and then at the trash . without better judgement , he held out the thing for eros , ' can you throw this out , you're closer to the trash . '

[ @bulletbites ] eros almost didn't realize hermes was crying , thinking it was some random drunk couple in the corner who chose to express their gross , undying love for each other in the middle of the bar . but after he slammed his portion of whiskey and scotch with no issue , he turned only to see small drops of sadness hitting the floor . ' heyheyhey- don't cry please ! ah shit- ' oh god . . he was getting emotional now . hell , what was in that blunt ? hermes almost never shed tears over anything . the dirty blonde swiftly scanned the crowded building for somewhere secluded to escape to , wanting to get the boy someplace where he could express himself freely instead of over their sangria's . outside wasn't much of an option cause then they would have to face david again , and eros didn't feel like having to explain the sideaffects of drugs on his friend . plus , smoking was technically prohibited inside , but everyone did it anyway . he didn't want to get kicked out now when the night was just barely starting for the two . ' mmm . . oh ! ' suddenly eros snatched up hermes' hand , hopping off the stool and dragging him towards the men's restroom . it was the only place he could think of that wouldn't be swarming with people .

hermes barely heard eros' response , his mind swimming from a multitude of stimuli . the music was too loud , too trashy , there were too many people here for him to deal with anything . he'd already brushed past plenty of couples , and /holy hell/ he hoped that no one would come over to recognize him . the weed had been too strong, making it harder to wade through the numerous thoughts that were running through his mind . and his face felt unnaturally hot . not like he was blushing but more along the lines of-
he heard himself sniffle as he slapped the money down on the bar , putting in the order .
- for the love of olympus , he was literally crying . he brought up his arm , swiping at his eyes before the tears rolled down his face .
his voice was shaky , and he mumbled a harsh curse under his breath , suddenly regretting the smoke he was still holding between his fingers .
' fuck , give me a minute , ' he apologized , pressing the palms of his hands on his face , taking a deep breath .
' okay , okay i'm okay . i got whiskey , and scotch . ' he looked up at eros , ' i didn't ask you , are you okay with whiskey and scotch ? ' he gestured vaguely at the drinks that were set infront of them .
