WHO: Persephone and Hades
WHAT: Cuteness
WHEN: Tuesday morning.
WHERE: Hades' mansion
WARNINGS: TBA



The amount of time Persephone spent having to remind herself that her husband wasn't an evil kidnapper was less and less. Well, he wasn't evil. She was feeling at home in the mansion again, and it was making her more adventurous.

Persephone dressed slightly provocatively and went in search of him. "Hades," she called out in a sing-song voice. "Hades, where are you?!"

"They fit you then," with a smile he put them in her hands. She probably had enough jewelry to open her own store, but he didn't care. He liked doing this for you. "And of course I do. Just, nothing too bright?"

She slipped both the bracelets on, over opposite wrists. "I love them," she said, admiring the butterfly. She turned to him and beamed. "Nothing too bright," she promised and she went to kiss him again. "You are spoiling me."

[unseenone.insanejournal.com]

He returned the kiss and smiled, "not at all. Just surprising you. Like you asked." He would keep to the promise he'd made. He didn't know how, just that he would. "Take the girls out to pick a tree, perhaps? They may like that."

He was doing everything she asked and Persephone couldn't express how much it meant to her. She wondered how people couldn't see how much love he had in him. She lifted a hand to stroke his cheek and then she nodded. "We'll do so on Friday, perhaps."

She took her hand in hers and grinned at him. "But for now I could thank you for being so wonderful to me."

He leaned into her touch and kissed her palm, just happy she was enjoying this. He knew he'd had the rest of eternity to make up for his mistakes. "Good. Let me know so I can have Charon drive you." And perhaps find an escort. Ever since the black weekend he was fairly protective over his girls.

He took her hand, and unable to read between the lines he smiled. "You already did. It's all I need to see you smile."

Persephone smirked at him then and she said, "I could do wonderful things to you while you sat on your throne?"

[unseenone.insanejournal.com]

He wanted to say it wasn't necessary, or that he far from required it, but the image was far too tempting to ignore. So he just nodded and took her hand. "I can agree to this."

[persephoneie.insanejournal.com]

They way he expressed interest made Persephone snort. She walked with him towards his throne and she wrapped her arms around just one of his.

"Hades? Did-" Persephone bit her lip as they walked. "Did you ever think of having someone else while I am away?"

He gave her a look at her snort, wondering what she'd expected from him, but he happily followed her, busy thinking of ways to get the shades to clear out and make sure they'd be uninterrupted.

"Not since Minthe," it made him wince just thinking about the nymph. Their marriage had been young, and still he'd managed to fuck it up. He'd never forget her hurt face when she found out, or how she'd taken her vengeance on the nymph. "You are my only."

[persephoneie.insanejournal.com]

Persephone managed not to make a face at the mention of Minthe, for Hades' sake. She had taken care of the nymph anyway. "And you are my only," she assured him. And he was. She had wanted a real relationship that lasted the entire year and maybe they had found a way to do that. She had never wanted to be with anyone else during the spring.

"I love you, husband."

[unseenone.insanejournal.com]

He smiled to her and turned so he could set his hand on her cheek. He'd always regret Minthe, but he'd been young and frustrated. He'd learned the fine art of patients by watching the dead, and it had served him well.

"As I love you. More then anything I can express."

[persephoneie.insanejournal.com]

"You express it very well," she said, showing him her wrists again, adorned with bracelets as they were. She stopped walking and pulled him towards her. "Undress me," she said, grinning up at him.

"That's different," at least he thought so. From what he could tell of romance, most wanted more then gifts. Some saw them as a way to bribe people. He didn't, but he was never too sure how to act.

He raised an eyebrow but stepped closer. "As my Queen desires." She was probably the only one who could get away with that, and he didn't even care. With a smile he went to follow her order.
