WHO: Psyche & Anteros
WHEN: Tuesday Afternoon
WHERE: Eros and Psyche's home, New York
WHAT: Psyche comes home to a surprise.


When Psyche would arrive home she might get the feeling something was off. Her place was not the way she'd left it.

The kitchen looked like a large rat had gone through it, some cabinets were open, food boxes open or torn open if it seemed complicated. The refrigerator door was open and everything inside, including cold meats for sandwiches, had exactly one bite taken out of it. Things that weren't meant to be consumed on their own seemed to also have been eaten. The fruit in the fruit bowl was the same. One bite taken out of the apple, pear, banana, etc. Next there was a pool of Eros' clothes next to the sofa and one flip flop on the table and another sitting in a chair.

The biggest thing that was probably different was the stark naked man with a very serious concentrating look on his face who had his ear pressed up to a speaker that was playing the radio but you could barely hear it because the volume was so low. Hmm. No, pretty sure that wasn't there when she left earlier.

Psyche's jaw dropped at the display in front of her. A grown man, sobbing in her daughter's closet. What was the world coming to? All she was doing was defending her home. This guy had come in unwelcome.

But the moment she heard Eros' name she stopped moving. "Eros?" she asked in bewilderment. "Why on earth would you-" And then it dawned on her. That was why she recognized his face. It was one she hadn't seen personally in a very, very long time. "Anteros?" she asked in a very calm voice, a stark contrast to her previously demanding tone.

Realizing she was still holding the rolling pin, she put her arm down and rolled it out into the hall. Her hands were raised to show she meant no harm. She suddenly felt very bad about everything that had just happened, but really, who wouldn't freak out about an unexpected naked man lounging around in their home?

She settled down on her knees and looked past the fact that he was still very much naked. "Anteros? It's me, Psyche. I didn't realize it was you. I thought you were an intruder. Are you alright?"

Psyche had seen this sort of behavior before and she knew the best thing to do was not to touch them until they said it was okay. So she made sure not to touch him.

She watched him closely and as soon as she knew he was looking at her smiled warmly. "I'm really, really sorry. If I knew it was you I wouldn't have acted like that."

Psyche loosened up when she saw him begin to uncurl out of his little ball. She smiled a little more broadly and encouraged him to come a little closer by motioning toward herself.

Her eyes stayed at eye level, but she still felt uncomfortable with the fact that her daughter was just down the hall. "Now, I'm really going to need you to at least put some pants on. My daughter, Hedone, your niece, doesn't need to be seeing you naked," she explained. She offered a hand.

Psyche was pleased when he took her hand. She stood up slowly and moved to help him up. He obviously didn't need her to, but she was a nurse. She was used to helping people much bigger than him. This was nothing.

She lead him out of Hedone's room and back into the living room where she found some of Eros' clothes. She looked through them to find something suitable. "Here, try these. They're loose and comfortable," she handed over a pair of pajama pants.

The look on his face meant trouble, she could feel it. "When you're here you can go naked all you like when Hedone isn't around, but when she's here I won't let her see you unless you're covered. Do you need help?"

Psyche watched him closely. She didn't know whether he would run or cooperate. She honestly didn't know what his problem was with clothes, but she would make sure he was wearing something in the next few seconds. Even if it ended up being one of her own dresses, which he would rip. But if it meant getting him clothed it was worth it.

She smiled, pleased, "Good." It felt like taking care of a large child. She moved to one side and held the pants so that she could help lift his leg on that side. "Just slide your leg into this hole, and then the other leg into the other hole."

Before she could move to help him, Psyche saw the pants rip. Being a mother, she had learned to have a sense of humor. This was one of those times when that really needed to be practiced. Besides, it wasn't like they couldn't replace the pants.

She started to giggle at the sight, "I'm sorry, I should have explained better. Don't move." Unable to stop giggling, she got up and went to retrieve some scissors. This was easily fixable.

When she came back she said, "These are scissors. I'll use them to cut the other side. It'll look better than have one side short and the other long. Okay?"

BAHAHAHA. Love his logic!

Psyche breathed a sigh of relief and shook her head at the situation. This was going to be interesting, she could tell. If she knew what he was thinking she would have immediately hid all the clothes and designated a set just for him to rip apart.

She looked from him to Hedone and then called out, "Hedone, sweetheart. You can come here now." Hedone, eager to get out of that corner jumped up immediately and bounded over excitedly. At first she looked timidly at Anteros until Psyche said, "This is your uncle, Anteros. He's sort of daddy's twin. I think you'll like him."

It all probably is. XD

Psyche smiled at the two of them. Hedone usually loved meeting people and Psyche couldn't remember if she and Anteros had ever met before. If not then this would be a good opportunity for them both. "I'll be cleaning up while you two hang out. Dinner in an hour," she said mainly to Hedone, who knew the rules about mealtimes and would be expected to explain them to her uncle.

Hedone waved slightly to her mom and focused on her uncle. She nodded with a big smile, "Oh yeah! Daddy plays games with me all the time when he's home, so does mommy. Why aren't you wearing a shirt? Don't you like them? I like mine a lot, pink is my favorite color, and it has gumdrops. OH! Have you ever had gumdrops?" She was incredibly chatty once she got started.
