WHO: Eros & Anteros
WHEN: Tuesday Morning
WHERE: MTV Studios, New York
WHAT: Anteros arrives in a whole new world and is excited to find his brother with a tiny bit of backstory.


Eros shined on stage, he was in his element and hosting the big charity event that would make them reach their goal. As the counter showed the money totaling up, something else in the heavens started shining as well. The closer the number went to the goal, the brighter the star shone and if you looked at it, you'd swear it was moving. Parts of it seemed to be struggling, as if something was trying to get right out.

The event was huge, this had dominoed on a massive scale and the people's voices rose but not in anger, in cheers, something good was happening. The star grew even brighter and you could feel that something even greater was about to happen. When the counter hit the goal and Eros announced it, the star burst.

For the lucky few that saw that 'shooting star', they'd have their wishes granted as it came right towards New York City, arriving at such a speed, you'd think you imagined seeing something. A flash of light and as quick as it happened, everything went back to normal like it had never been disturbed. But something had happened. There was a shift in the air and Eros would feel it.

New York continued with its hectic fast paced life and the city had seen many strange things so when a very confused looking man with sandy blonde hair stood in the middle of the sidewalk buck naked in broad daylight staring up at a billboard for a MTV gameshow, they just raised their brows and kept walking.

Surprisingly, Anteros made it to MTV Studios with little incident and some directions. Sure he almost got run over a few times by a bunch of things and nothing made sense but in his mind he was just focused on one thing.

The bored security guard behind the desk started saying, "Can I help....." and his words trailed off as Anteros gave him a bright smile. He pointed at a poster of Eros that was hung up in the lobby.and then pointed at himself.

The security guard kept a wary eye on him and then picked up the phone and hit a couple of buttons before saying, "Uh... Jasper? There's a naked guy here to see you.."

Something was different but Eros couldn't quite figure it out. He just felt happy the moment that something wiggled itself into place. He'd just popped off stage with a wrap up to Love Me, Love Me Not when Anteros was escorted to him. He couldn't contain a grin before he launched forward in a hug. He knew immediately who it was, there was no question. Centuries churned on bit Anteros had not even shown his face. Eros could have searched for him, but as a child of Aphrodite he was a tad selfish at times.

He kissed his brother's face bouncing on the balls of his feet. Eros was quite the welcome wagon with the people he cared about the most. The world could hate him as long as it wasn't the ones he loved.

He studied Anteros with a confused look. "Whee have you been?" The rest of the crew were just wondering where his clothes had gone.

Anteros smiled wide and it was so bright and innocent that only someone who had no love in his heart could think ill of him in this moment. He hugged Eros tightly and closed his eyes when he felt his brother's affection smother him. It had felt like forever and in reality it's because that's exactly what it had been.

The rest of the people might as well have not been there. He was as confused as Eros, his look mirroring his brother's as he took a moment and then said his first word on the release of a deep breath, "Waiting."

He smiled and grabbed Eros in a tight embrace again as he shook his head, still bewildered, "I waited... for so long." he didn't understand any of it but he was here with Eros and all was right with Anteros' world again.

He pulled back to look at his brother saying sincerely, "I'm sorry.." his one job was to be with Eros to make sure the man was never lonely and he hadn't done it. Sure, he didn't entirely understand where he went or what here was, but the thought of failing Eros was something that could easily extinguish the light that was always in Anteros' eyes.

The last thing on Eros' mind was the fact that his little brother was in his birthday suit. It was only when the rest of the staff started to stop and stare with gaping mouths. Eros took off his jacket and handed it to Anteros. "Might need to put the snake away for a bit," he laughed. He patted Anteros' shoulder and ushered him inside to where his office was. It wasn't really an office as much as it was Eros' play pin. He had so many toes and gadgets loaded up as well as Valentine's cards from Hedone that sprinkled against his walls. Everything was very...red.

He dug around in his closet (yes there was a closet in this space) and threw a few clothes down on the table for Anteros to get into. "You'll need these."

Anteros didn't put the jacket on, he held it in his hand and looked at everything in the office, immediately reaching out to touch something that had lots of buttons on it while his brother searched for stuff.

He started pressing the different buttons curiously until Eros spoke up and he looked at the table with the clothes but made no move towards them. "Thank you." he said seemingly touched. He didn't know what to do with them but they were still a gift from Eros so he'd treasure them. But if it was all the same he rather have this thing with the buttons.

Eros handed him the shirt with a laugh. "You put it on Anteros!" He wasn't joking or making fun, but this wasn't what he'd expected. Their clothing in Greek times had been a lot less, this was true. At times even just a thin robe. Clothes now were tricky if not too much. "You'll catch cold!" He threaded Anteros' arms through the arm holes then motioned for him to step his feet through the pant legs. At least he could get him home this way, then he'd figure out what to do next.

Anteros frowned at first and moved his head from the left to the right as Eros dressed him. Like a puppy you were training he moved forward and obediently stuck his legs into the pants. He had a sour look on his face as none of this felt pleasant at all. And it itched.

The longer the clothes stayed on, the more he didn't like them. He scratched at his chest and his legs. This was the worst thing ever. How were people supposed to see him if he had all this crap covering him up? This was totally counter-productive..

But nothing was going to take away from the fact he was with his big brother! Even if it meant he had to look ridiculous.

Anteros looked so miserable it was hilarious. "Come on!" he insisted once he'd at least got most of him covered. Anteros hadn't seemed to like the shoes so he scooted a pair of flip flops towards him. "Put them through your toes!"

Once things were situated he could corral him towards the subway station which was going to be a whole new world all together. At least once he got him home he'd be more comfortable. While Anteros seemed to stagger in the clothes, Eros had a bounce in his step. He was nearly skipping out of the building.

Anteros tried to smile but he looked like a puppy that had gotten shot in the face. When Eros tried to put the shoes on him, he drew the line. Oh no. No way. No how. It felt like little monsters were attacking his feet and just no. The flip flops looked more like what he was used to but he still rather have been barefoot.. but Eros wanted him to wear them so he did.

Anteros looked like bambi learning how to walk in the clothes and flip flops. Seriously, naked was so much easier, why did people put themselves through this? He grabbed onto Eros' arm and occasionally would wander off when distracted by something. Which was kinda often. The world was so different and he couldn't understand any of it.

But there was time. That was the best part. Now there was nothing but time! He was happy when Eros took him home. This would be his home too and he instantly cheered up. Eros seemed excited as well and told Anteros to sit put and he'd be right back. And just like that he was alone in the place.

Right, first order of business. Naked. Now to explore..
