"Where have you been on my life?"
Mercury and Apollo jaws dropped, Cupid's eyes widened, and Nemesis blushed red. Wait? Blushed?
Well, they were lucky that Aphrodite is too busy to notice that. She was currently defending the portal against the enemy minions and Osiris, who finally managed to appear in the background after long connection lost. Now, both teams are on 20-20 tickets. Guan Yu also helps as well. Both team had no idea that the other team members from each of their teams are not fighting with them. Except Awilix, who had her server down from the beginning of the match.
"Ehm... Ares? You're okay, bro?" Apollo asked, waved his hands to get the said god attention.
That snapped both Ares and Nemesis from their trance and glanced towards two other gods. Ehm... Nemesis can't actually see.
"Wait, aren't we supposed to kill both of you?" Ares asked.
Both Mercury and Apollo went pale after hearing that. They forgot that they actually in an opposing team against Ares and Nemesis. Cupid already long gone to help Geb, who was trying to defend himself from Guan Yu's ult. Meanwhile, Aphrodite managed to kill Osiris after almost losing her kill streak.
Ares and Nemesis immediately slain both gods with combination of Ares' 1 and 3, and Nemesis' 2. Cupid and Geb got slain by Osiris causing their team to lose. 0-15 tickets. Ares' team win. Aphrodite looked miffed as she slapped and screeched on both Mercury and Apollo for their neglect on the battleground. Cupid tried his best not to be on Aphrodite's bad side after the mishap on the battleground, while Geb tried to stay neutral on all of this.
If only she knew what they just done, she will be more than just angry...
Guan Yu and Osiris gave a toast for their winning on the match. Awilix got reported, even though that won't be necessary due to the fact of her server breakdown. Nemesis decided to rest after the match is finally over, if only she didn't feel awkward around Ares. The God of War's statement on the match somehow caused her emotions to stir into chaos. More than usual.
'By Chaos, what is wrong with me? Why I'm become too emotional?' She thought, frantically. She tried to calm herself, but failed when Ares decided to take a seat next to her. Somehow, his presence calmed her down.
"Are you okay? You looked a little bit... jumpy." Ares said, softly. "Is there anything I can do for you?"
Nemesis looked dumbfounded at Ares sudden gentleness. 'Since when he became a gentleman? He never had been this gentle before. Heck, he never being gentle around Aphrodite either!' "Ehm... no. Nothing. I'm about to go back to my temple."
"Can I escort you to your temple?" Ares offered.
Nemesis blushed even redder. "ehm... Aren't you supposed to be with Aphrodite tonight?"
Suddenly, Ares' smiles faltered. His expression became sad, before turning into a frown. This sudden change made Nemesis felt guilty, but also curious. Isn't Ares supposed to be happy when it comes to Aphrodite?
"She probably has a date with another god. She might not be happy if I visit her when that happens. Especially when she lost against our team." Ares explained, coldly. The frown wasn't long as he smiled once again. "That means; I'm all yours for tonight."
Nemesis mouth gaped. Since when he became hers? And why her heart skipped beat momentarily?
"Ares..." Nemesis sighed - more like flinched. "...we're not dating."
He looked sad for a moment, but quickly making his face looked neutral. "Oh right, I forgot. So, are you sure you don't want to be escorted?"
"No. My brother, Thanatos usually the one who escort me. I don't think he will be very happy to see you escorting me to my temple." She stated.
"I understand. I'm sorry to bother you..." He apologized, before he walked to his chariot.
Nemesis somehow regretted her decision to decline Ares's kind offer. 'What is really wrong with me?'
