Dionysus' Party

Hermes paced around Olympus, feeling his heartbeat rap wildly against his rib cage. He nervously bit down on his bottom lip, shaking a little as he crossed his arms tightly over his chest. 'A-Apollo… Actually said he loves me…' He paused, staring down at the ground, standing near a pillar.

'B-But… How do I feel about him?' Turning his back to the pillar; he slid down onto the ground, pulling his knees up to his chest. He closed his eyes.

Hermes had been pondering this question for the past few days; letting it revolve around until an answer finally had appeared. Yet, he still came up with nothing. He just didn't understand it! He knew the familiar feelings, but for some reason, he just couldn't put his finger on it…

The way Apollo looked at him, made his heart flutter like the wings of a butterfly. Oh, that smile just made his face flush, and weak in the knees. His touches sent little shivers down his spine and...

Hermes let out a deep sigh, running his fingers through his blond hair. What was he going to do?

"Hermes!" Hearing his name being called made him flinch out of his deep thoughts. "Y-Yes?" He asked, startled. Turning to see who had called him, it was Apollo himself.

'Ah Hades…' Hermes thought, standing up as Apollo approached him, flashing him a grin.

Hermes flinched, feeling a tug. 'Oh please, someone save me now…' He thought, strengthening his legs so he wouldn't topple over and embarrass himself.

Apollo on the other hand laughed, causing a very curious messenger god to look at him oddly. He found it funny how his little cute and naïve, young messenger thought he didn't know what was going on inside mind. Or that fact that his smile made him feel that way.

"Dionysus is holding a Valentine's day party." Apollo said. "I was wondering however, if you would like to go with me…" He paused, looking at Hermes in silence for a moment. "Will you go to his party with me?"

Hermes bit his bottom lip in thought for a moment, finally smiling after he let out a small breath. "Okay but…" He shifted a little, averting his eyes from the sun god. "It doesn't mean I have given you an answer…" He said quietly.

Apollo grinned once again. "I'll see you later then…." With that, he disappeared in a flash of gold.

It was the night of the party, and every god seemed to be going. Everyone had dressed up, wearing various different colours of togas, and tunics. The women did their hair up or let it down, decorating their hair with tiny jewels, pearls or feathers. Men just went as they pleased, not really caring how they looked.

Apollo had appeared at Hermes' little house in Olympus. He had requested it be built so he had at least something that he owned there. Unlike everyone else, he didn't have a temple due to being a messenger and never staying very long in the same place. Stepping into the small shack like home, he couldn't but smile, glancing around his surroundings.

Hanging from the ceiling were various models of air crafts, as well as posters of different types of birds on the walls. Hermes' caduceus was sitting on a golden stand, being protected by a yellow glowing shield. The two snakes restlessly slithered around the rod, hissing softly.

Hermes stepped out of his room, wearing a royal blue toga cinched at the waist. The colour matched his eyes, and seemed to make his pale skin glow a little. Apollo on the other hand was wearing a crimson toga, with a sash, showing his bare chest underneath.

"Hermes…" Hearing his name be spoken made the young messenger god jump a little, startled, making a squeak noise. In return, the sun god laughed, making Hermes glare at him all flustered. "I-It's isn't funny!" He snapped, making Apollo laugh even more.

"You're so adorable…" Apollo grinned, scooping Hermes up into his arms, and disappearing in a flush of gold to where they had to be.

Not so long after they left, they soon appeared at Dionysus' temple where he was hosting his party, and Hermes immediately made Apollo put him down, also glaring at him when he finally did. Apollo rubbed his arm, frowning at the young messenger god. For someone as childish as him, he sure hit hard when he wanted to.

"You know…" Hermes said, glaring at the sun god. "I could have gotten here on my own, better yet, faster than you ever could…" He muttered, crossing his arms.

Apollo pouted, making cute puppy eyes. "But then I wouldn't have gotten to hold you…" He said in a whinny like voice, causing Hermes' face to flush. He chuckled, grinning once more as he then placed his hand onto his arm and steered him to where the other gods, demigods and nymphs were.

From what they could see, a group of demigods who were sitting together were laughing hysterically at the sight of Ares, the god of war. Apparently, Ares had shown up in nothing but his helm, and brought along his appear. One of the demigods had dared him to do it, but didn't think he would… Until now.

When Apollo and Hermes found him however, Ares was taunting the god of love, Eros. "Those dorky little love darts are as useless and pathetic as you on the battlefield!" Eros glared at him, reaching for one of his arrows. "It's best if you continue hiding behind your mommy like you always do!" Ares spat cruelly.

Apollo shivered, he remembered when he had challenged Eros himself. That did not end well at all.

Not too long after, the party had really begun to pick up. Dionysus was his usual drunk self, and everyone was having a really good time. Hermes on the other hand had sat down at a nice table with Apollo beside him.

It wasn't long before Ares had appeared on the other side of Hermes. "You look like you could use some company…"

Apollo straightened in his seat, glaring at Ares. "He has company…" He hissed through clenched teeth. "Me…"

Ares scoffed, rolling his eyes at the sun god. "Some real company…" He said, placing a hand onto Hermes' shoulder, making his skin crawl at his touch. "Me…"

Apollo let out a deathly snarl, pulling Hermes into his arms. His glare on Ares got more intense. "He is mine…" He growled. "Do not touch…"

Aphrodite, who was not too far away, saw what was happening and stormed over. The expression on her face made everyone steer out of her way, not even Hades dare stand in the way of the path she was storming down.

Although she was ready to explode, she stopped once she saw a certain love arrow sticking out of Ares' back. She turned her glare onto the love god, who seemed to be watching threw a haze of laughter, tears making his vision even more blurry.

"Eros!" Aphrodite roared, making Eros freeze where he was. His eyes went wide, and he was suddenly struck with fear. "Y-Yes mother?"

"Fix this!" She shrieked.

Eros nodded, taking out his lead arrow with shaking hands, since he was shaking so badly he had to jab Ares with it. At the moment, he was unable to work his bow since his mother's gaze never seemed to leave him until he fixed the problem.

Ares expression went blank for a moment, and then shook his head. He stood up and lumbered away, confused to what had happened.

Hermes on the other hand let out a deep sigh, turning to the sun god. He decided it was time to go home, and Apollo couldn't agree more, after he sent one last sour look at Ares. With that, they disappeared in a flush of gold.
