Once A Perfect Family Chapter 2, a greek mythology fanfic

Sorry if Chapter 2 was late. School is really hard...especially if there are Minor subjects who feels like Major subjects.

I know that Cronus doesn't act like himself...deal with it. Imagine him being a good father and try to imagine 5 year old Hades

Anyway I hope you guys like it.

Chapter 2

5 years have passed since the birth of a new prince. At Mount Orthys, Cronus is talking to Atlas.

"That will be all, Atlas" Cronus said

"Of course, Lord Cronus" Atlas replied and left

Cronus has been so tired since he woke up. He waited for Rhea to come home which she arrived at 3:00 in the morning. He woke up 6:00 am just to wake up Rhea. Hyperion kept asking advice for 3 straight hours. And the last, which he had the best time, is playing with his son, Hades for the entire afternoon.

When Cronus sat on his throne, he quickly fell asleep. Few minutes later, he felt something. He woke up, still sleepy, and saw a 5 year old boy who looks a lot like him, only cuter, sitting on his lap.

"Hades?" Cronus, who is still sleepy, asked

"Sorry dad!" the boy, now introduced as Hades, replied, "Did I wake you up?"

"No you did not my son" Cronus smiled at him. Since Cronus has a child, he became a good role model to his son. He would play with him. He would help him. He became a teacher to Hades.

As for Hades, he loved his dad so much. Rhea usually is not with him. The only people he sees everyday are the nymphs, Atlas, and his dad.

He became an obedient and caring boy to anyone in Mount Orthys, especially to his family…though mostly Cronus. He usually helps the nymphs in the mountain and plays with Hyperion when he visits the mountain and other stuff.

"What are you doing?" Cronus asked

"I'm making a flower crown" Hades said while making the flower crown

"Why are you making one?" Cronus asked again

"It's for daddy" Hades replied

"Me?"

"Yeah! Since you helped me a lot, I should give something in return" Hades smiled, "The dryads taught me how to make one"

"You went out again?"

To tell you the truth, Hades is not allowed to leave Mount Orthys because (1) he's too young to see the world and (2) Cronus is a VERY overprotective dad. Hades has never been to any of his other relative's places. He ends up where the dryads are. So sometimes he hangs-out with them.

Most of the time, Hades disobeys his father's commands because he wants to play outside. He has nothing to do when his father is really busy and his mother is away helping others.

"One last flower…and…DONE!" Hades shouted for joy. He placed the flower crown on Cronus' head and asked, "See dad! This is for you! Do you like it?"

"Of course not" Cronus said with a straight face

"You don't?"

"I love it son" Cronus said as he gave Hades a bid hug

"YAY!"

END OF FLASHBACK

"…another peaceful day has ended" Nyx said "This is what happens when they are both around"

"You know, you could have just skipped my little innocent self-story there" Hades said, "It's really embarrassing "

"Thanatos, do you know what's more embarrassing about Hades" Erebus said

"What" Thanatos asked

"Erebus, don't. Don't even think about say-" Hades blushed

"His first lesson on punching!" Erebus exclaimed

We now see an embarrassed Hades

"OH! I REMEMBER THAT!" Nyx also joined Erebus

"Okay this is what happened…" Erebus said

FLASHBACK

"Okay Aidon, I'm going to go outside" Cronus said as he is walking outside of Mt. Orthys

"Dad, why can't I come with you" Hades asked

"Because here you will be safe" Cronus said as he ruffled his son's hair, "Besides, your cousin Atlas is here to play with you"

"But I also want to play with dad" Hades said

"No buts, Aidon" Cronus said, "I'll just be gone for a couple of hours. I'll come home right away"

"Promise?"

"Promise"

With that Cronus left Hades alone with Atlas. For the last hour, Hades and Atlas have been playing piggy back rides. Atlas actually wants to quit, but he doesn't want to see the bad side of Cronus. If Cronus hears his son crying or sniffing, he dashes to Hades and punishes whoever made his son cry. He heard the story from both Crios and Coios about Hades and a daughter of Oceanus

When Hades left Mt. Orthys, for the first time, he played at the seashore, where oceanids stay. One oceanid, who was hated by her siblings because of her bad attitude, was walking around the shore when suddenly Hades accidentally bumps into her. Though Hades apologizes, the oceanid slaps him so hard. She didn't recognize Hades being the son of Cronus due to the fact that Hades is always inside the Mt. Orthys. With that Hades cried so much-

"EREBUS SKIP THAT PART THIS INSTANT!" Hades yelled

"Fine" Erebus said, "See he's so embarrassed about himself"

BACK TO THE FLASHBACK

Cronus heard his son crying so he dashed down from Mt. Orthys and came looking for his son. When he found him, he saw his son crying and has a lot of bruises. He also saw the oceanid slapping him again and again. Cronus suddenly appears in front of the oceanid with a fierce and scary look. He then punched her in the face and nearly erasing her from existence. When Oceanus found out that one of his daughters faced the wrath of Cronus, he got so angry at his younger brother and their argument never ended. This is the reason why Oceanus never visits Mt. Orthys and how he hates his youngest brother. Though it's unknown if Oceanus has a grudge on Hades but he can't blame the kid. His first time seeing the outside world should be happy but ends up having a lot of bruises. He would understand Cronus' feelings but nearly wiping his own daughter's existence is crossing the line.

Going back to the story, Atlas never wanted to experience that kind of pain. So he is very careful when he's close to Hades.

"Atlas, can I ask you a favor?" Hades asked as he jumped out of Atlas' back

"What is it?"

"Can you teach me how to punch?"

"You want me…to teach you…how to punch?"

"Yes"

"You know Lord Cronus will get angry at the both of us…especially me..."

With that, Hades unleashed his ultimate weapon…the puppy dog eyes (dundundun!) "Please"

'No…must…not look…directly…Must not…give in…like last time' Atlas thought

"Please…I will give you a day-off because you worked so hard" Hades persuaded him

"Fine"

Score…Hades: 10 Atlas: 0

Being the Titan of Endurance and Strength, it was easy to teach Hades but his punches are weak because he is so caring. Atlas told him to punch a man made out of sand, which they did a while ago, but Hades doesn't want to because the man made out of sand is (sand) Crios and he doesn't want to hurt his uncle even though it's sand. He also told Hades to punch him but he doesn't want to hurt him.

"I guess I'm too weak" Hades said

"No you're not" Atlas said, "Look, it's easy to punch, here punch the sack of flour"

"But dad will get angry at me"

"No he won't"

"Yes he will"

"That gives me an idea! Imagine this sack of flour just hurt Lord Cronus so badly"

"But dad is the most powerful being besides Gaia. He will never get hurt so badly"

"Just…uh…imagine this sack just insulted your dad"

Hades punched the sack weakly, "Was that right?"

"Do you want someone to insult your dad?"

"No!"

"Then punch the sack real hard"

Hades punch the sack a little hard

"You can do better than that"

"I can't! The sack isn't talking"

"Fine…" Atlas placed the sack in front of his face and said, "Cronus is a bastard king. He thinks he's so superior but he's a big coward! "

"DON'T INSULT MY DAD THAT WAY!" Hades yelled. With that he punched Atlas and sack so hard that Atlas went flying and crashing on the wall of Mt. Orthys with flour on his face.

"That…was…great!" Atlas jumped out of his position, "That was a strong punch! Kid, you have the gift"

"I do?"

"Of course!" Atlas exclaimed, "You, excluding your dad, are the only one who punched my so hard that I was flying. Hell you are only 5 years old!"

"Yay! Thanks Atlas"

"No problem, kid"

"Now I'm going to tell dad"

"Okay...wait what!"

"I'm going to tell dad you taught me how to punch"

"No! Don't!"

"I'm telling"

"HADES AIDONEUS GET BACK HERE THIS INSTANT! DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT TELLING UNCLE CRONUS ABOUT THIS!"

END OF FLASHBACK

"So you are really close to Atlas, Lord Hades?" Thanatos asked

"Yes" Hades replied, "Though we still see each other when I visit Mt. Orthys"

"That is one of Hades embarrassing times when he was a kid" Erebus said

"Yeah and I hope you stop telling Thanatos my embarrassing times" Hades said

"I remembered something else!" Nyx suddenly said, "Erebus, remember that time in Mt. Orthys"

"Which one?" Erebus asked

"You know…that"

"Oh!"

"No…please…don't even think about it" Hades said

"Embarrassing #2!"
