Alex

It's been two days. The minor gods and demigods had all left. Including Cupid, thankfully. Only Ash decided to stay.

But what's weird is that Kalake has been in her room that entire time. So, I decided to go see if something's wrong.

I knocked on her door and there was no answer. I tried the handle and found it closed.

"Kalake?" I called.

I heard her groan. I took out a bobby pin and picked the lock. It's a trick I learned from the Hermes' kids.

I then turned the knob and my eyes widened. Kalake's braid was undone and her hair was kind of messy. Her clothes from the other night laid around the room. Her blanket was covering her breast and I could tell that she was naked, which made me blush.

Then I wondered as to who could have done this, and immediately thought of Cupid. That bastard. She was probably drunk, either that or he pierced her with one of his very special for special occasions arrows.

I closed the door and then I went down to the kitchen. I grabbed a glass and filled it with water, adding a little bit of nectar. Then I went back upstairs and into her room.

I set the glass on the nightstand. Then I went back to the living room where Ash was.

Kalake

I woke up with a splitting headache. I found a glass of water on the table. I took a drink and immediately started to feel better.

That's when I realized that I was completely naked. And when the other night's events came back.

"Oh, no." I groaned.

Not only was I drunk, but I had sex with the god of love after just meeting him. Crap.

I decided to take things slow, especially since this was my first time being hungover.

First thing, drink the water. I could tell that something extra had been added to it because it was tasted a little bit like mint which warmed me up.

That's why it didn't take me very long to drink it all. Then I decided to take a shower, since I probably needed it.

Grabbing a towel, I went into the bathroom and took my shower. After that, I decided to get dressed.

Grabbing my bra and underwear, I put those on. Then, I went into the closet and put on a pair of slightly ripped blue jean short shorts and an aquamarine crop top.

After that, I brushed my teeth and hair. Then I went downstairs.

"Of course you did." An unfamiliar voice said.

"That's not the point, Ash! Cupid manipulated her and used her for sex!" That was Alex.

"Not if she was drunk. Then she kind of did it on her own." Ash, I guess, replied.

"Not really." Alex said.

I walked into the hall and scratched my head. They were obviously talking about me.

Ash and Alex stopped talking and looked at me. An unfamiliar boy was sitting next to Alex. He had brown hair, pale skin, and brown eyes. I guess that must be Ash.

"Kalake." Alex said.

"Thanks for the water." I said.

Alex gave me a small smile.

"Your welcome." Alex said.

"Uh, what did you put in it?" I asked.

"Nectar, drink of the gods. Ambrosia, which is the food of the gods, and Nectar will kill mortals, but if demigods have a little bit when their injured, will heal them. But if we have too much we'll burn up so we have to be careful." Alex answered.

I nodded. I came down the stars and sat in the couch across from them. I pulled my legs under me.

"Look, Alex, about what you guys were talking about," I started.

Alex blushed. Ash smirked.

"I'm not judging you. It's just that I'm worried. Cupid can be crafty and likes to mess around with love and people's feelings." Alex said.

"Yeah, I guess you could say I kind of figured that out. Now, I don't know what you meant by 'Cupid's very special for special occasion arrows' but he definitely did not pierce me. Plus, I do remember having more than one glass of that wine that Dionysus was serving." I said, a slight blush on my cheeks.

"Well, that makes the situation a little bit better at least." Alex admitted.

Then I looked at Ash more closely. He didn't have goat legs, or green skin and pointed ears like the nymphs, or blue skin like the naiads, or have the slight glowing aura of a minor god, nor did he have the strong aura of major god.

"What are you?" I asked.

"Demigod son of Hades. Basically your cousin on your dad's side." Ash answered.

"Well, nice to meet you." I replied.

"I guess I should probably ask you this now, but are you an LGBT supporter at all?" Alex asked.

I smiled.

"More than that, I'm actually bi myself." I answered.

"Oh, well, I'm bi too. A couple of Aphrodite's children are either bi, trans, lesbian, or gay." Alex said.

"I figured since she was the goddess of love that a couple of her children were." I replied.

"I'm gay, as well." Ash said.

I smiled. Then Ash glanced at Alex, a slight blush on his cheek. My eyes widened slightly.

"Wait, are you guys dating?" I asked.

"Well, something did happen at the party, and we haven't really talked about it." Ash admitted.

"Oh, ok. Well, I, uh, think I'll go talk a walk. I'll be back whenever." I said.

"Ok." Alex and Ash replied.

I got up and left the palace. I decided to go down to the lake.

Once there, I took off my shoes and socks. Then I sat down close to the water so that when the waves came the water would go up to my knees.

It was peaceful and I probably sat there lost in my thoughts for about half an hour until Poseidon came up to me.

He sat down next to me. He was wearing bermuda shorts and a hawaiian shirt.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" He asked.

"Yes, it is." I replied, a smile on my face.

Poseidon's expression darkened a little.

"All of Olympus has heard what happened at the party between you and Cupid." Poseidon said.

My eyes widened.

"In my room?" I asked.

"Yes. He's been talking about it nonstop. Says that you were amazing. Thankfully, Aphrodite is dealing with him as we speak. If it weren't for her, I would've blasted him to Tartarus." Poseidon said, growling the last part.

"Look, I'm sorry. That was my first time drinking and I -" My voice faltered as a few tears fell.

Poseidon smiled sadly and pulled me into a hug. He was warm and smelled like the ocean. Which made me feel calm.

"I know. I don't blame you. I blaming that bastard of a god. He always did love playing with the hearts of our children and ourselves." Poseidon said.

"I wish I could take it back." I said.

"I know. Look, if you want, you could move into my palace here. I would enjoy the company, especially when thing's are quiet in Atlantis. And sometime you could come with me there. I'll also teach you how to control your powers. Hecate would help as well." Poseidon said.

I nodded. Staying with Aphrodite was nice and all, but I don't want to stay there anymore. It would only remind me of Cupid.

And I guess I have to admit I do have a crush on Alex, even if he is so perfect. But the difference between him and Cupid is that he's not full of himself and he definitely wouldn't have sex with someone because their drunk. But it hurts to know that he likes someone else, who's not a girl. And even though it hurts, I don't judge him. He deserves to be happy.

"Yeah, I would like that, Dad." I answered.

He smiled and his grip tightened a little, which made me smile too.
