Hades smiled as he looked down at the dull red liquid showing the image of his son and the boy's mate cuddling with each other in their bed. He sighed in depression and waved his hand over the pot of liquid to make the picture disappear and he slouched in his stone chair. he was tired, both psychically, mentally and emotionally, his eyes were dry and his throat ten fold.

If only THEY were here, then he would be alright.

"Lord Hades!?" Pluto sounded in shock as he walked into the stone room. "You should be resting!"

The god of the deceased glanced over to the midnight male before leaning into his throne again, If only THEY were here...

Pluto huffed in frustration.

"My Lord! Please, you mustn't reject your health! You haven't slept in at least a week and if this continue...? Are you even listen to me!?"

Hades, if anyone could get close enough to tell, rolled his red eyes and ignore his messenger completely, so annoying. Pluto bit his lip as he thought of his last resort, the one thing that would get the dark lord up and moving, he sighed and took the chance.

"What would HE think about this?" The midnightette asked making Hades look at him, the god was taken by surprise and at a total disadvantage. "Hades, you wouldn't want to make HIM upset, would you?" Pluto watched as the ruler of the underworld shifted his gaze to the floor.

"Fine," The tired man hissed coldly getting up from his spot and headed for his bedroom. "Now off with you." With a wave of his hand the male was dismissed to his quarters, Hades fled to his own.

After venturing down two winding halls he found his chambers and once inside he immediately went to his bed, to exhausted to change clothes. Sighing the the god removed his head dress and set it on his side table before laying down on his side, closing his bloody eyes.

If only HE were here, then the bed wouldn't be so empty.

If only HE hadn't left, then Hades' life wouldn't be so cold.

The ruler of Hades smiled in his sleep as he thought of HIM.

Warm sun kissed skin, bright sky blue eyes and ultra, almost white, grey hair...

How he missed it all...

How he missed HIM.
