Hercules:

When I picked Meg up from her house I was worried about her. She usually didn't mind staying on her own, but this evening for some reason she was worried about it. I asked her curiously as we flew over the cobble streets down below and she clung to my back, "Hey Meg, are you alright? You're normally ok staying on your own."
Meg sighed and hugged me tighter, "I know, Wonderboy. I just got this horrible feeling that there was someone else around. I just wanted to get out." I frowned and asked worriedly, "Someone else was there? Why would you think that?" Meg sighed again and whispered, "I don't know. It was just a feeling. I didn't want to wait to find out if I was right!"
It was so unlike Meg to be paranoid. I was sure there was more to the story, but I decided not to push it. If she wanted to tell me, she eventually would. We landed swiftly on the freshly mown lawn and the guard who took over Arnold at night- Henry- was standing there wide alert. I greeted him, and then helped Meg off Pegasus. She sighed in relief, her overnight bag swung over her shoulder, "Thanks Herc. I'm sorry about all of this." Hercules smiled kindly, "It's alright Meg. That's what boyfriends are for, right?"
She smiled gratefully at me and sighed, "You're right." Herc asked quickly, "Have you had dinner?" Meg nodded, "Yeah I'm all good in that department thanks." I smiled at her and asked, "So…what do you want to do?" She shrugged and then hurried over to the hammock, "Just relax her for a bit maybe?" I laughed, "Alright." I got in first because it was easier that way and she climbed in next to me.
I whispered to her, "I hope you feel safer here?" She nodded, a big smile etched on her face, "Yeah, thanks Hercules. I'm sorry to be such a bother. You know I wouldn't have called you unless it were urgent." I nodded and replied, "I know. Was everything alright at work today?" She grinned- Meg loved talking about her work, and I was relieved it seemed to relax her a bit. She told me about all the different styles they were creating- not that I understood the difference between many of them- and when I didn't know she went into detail, "And the sapphire dress will be off the shoulder! We have some models coming in on Monday to try them on, which means I have to be sewing almost all weekend- but I don't mind! If I get to meet them and they like my designs it might be a serious career move for me!" I liked listening to something she was so happy talking about. It made me feel inadvertently happy that she was happy. But I couldn't get rid of the nagging feeling that whatever was causing this strange non-Meg behavior had something to do with Hades.

Meg:

I felt much safer at the Hercules Villa than I did in my own home. Herc and I lay on the couch until it was at least midnight. I almost lost track of the time until he started yawning. I whispered, "I'm sorry, is my jabbering boring you?" He laughed politely and groaned, "No, I'm just tired. I've been training virtually all day to day." I gasped and sat up quickly, missing the warmth of his chest, "Oh dear! I'm surprised you haven't fallen asleep already then!" Herc laughed and shrugged, "Nope. I love you enough to stay awake. But I think I better get heading to bed, and so should you."

He grinned dazedly at me and I whispered, "Alright then…" I normally slept in the spare room when I was here, but tonight even that seemed too far away. I whispered, "Herc, do you mind terribly if I stayed in your room tonight?" He stiffened and I wondered why, quickly backtracking, "I'm sorry, if it's a bother I will go to the spare room…I don't mind either way." I felt a little dejected but he murmured, "No, it's not that! I just…I mean I don't know how to say it…but doesn't it make sense if um…we move in together?"
He was sitting bolt upright on the couch now and seemingly much more awake than before. I blinked at him in surprise and felt my heart racing. He stammered in a bumble, "I'm sorry…unless you don't want to in which case that's fine…and I probably asked you in the worst way possible but it just sort of makes sense to me…" I ended up lying back down on him and kissing his lips feverishly. He didn't complain but when I came up for air I whispered, "Is that a good enough answer for you?" Herc chuckled and I left my fingers in his soft curls, "The best answer ever!" he said in surprise. I laughed loudly and then clapped my hand over my mouth, 'Don't want to wake Phil!" I whispered. Herc rolled his eyes, "I'm so happy Meg! I've been wanting to ask you for a while, but I was worried it would be too soon!" I laughed and beamed at him as we walked to his room hand in hand, "Not at all, in fact, it was the perfect timing!"

Hades:

I watched them through spy glass into the world above. The "glass" was murky and of my own creation. When Wonderbreath asked her to move in I screamed until my voice went hoarse! "NOOOOOOOOO!" I shouted at the top of my lunges. I burnt a large hole in one of the walls as my skin felt aflame. I inhaled sharply and yelled, "PAIN! Get me some water! NOW!" The imbecile came bumbling along the stairs with a glass of water in his hand, Panic followed with a jug.
He handed it to me and I glugged it in one go. I seethed angrily, "Guess what has just happened?" Pain looked nervously at Panic, "Something to do with Hercules?" I rolled my eyes in frustration, "Of course something to do with Hercules! Why else would I be so bleeding mad, you birdbrains?!" They glanced at each other and I shook my head, "Nutmeg has decided she wants to move in with him! How on earth am I supposed to get to her when she's sleeping with him every damn night!" I puffed out in an irate breath.

My bumbling sidekicks glanced at each other. Panic had the nerve to speak, "Well, she won't be with him all the time! Nobody said you had to intimidate her only at night…" I raised my eyebrows, surprised that one of them had actually said something vaguely intelligent, "You're right, Panic. When that little twerp gets up to go about his daily job, I can always sneak in then! She'll never suspect it!" They glanced at each with nervous smiles and I couldn't help but relax a little. This plan could still work. It would, in fact, work best when she was least suspecting it.

Hercules:

I woke up the following morning and was so happy to find Meg in my arms. She was lying with her head on my chest and I loved the peaceful way she was breathing against me, her chest heaving up and down. It made me feel delighted that I would wake up with her like this every morning from now on. I couldn't have been happier, but my bedside alarm was buzzing and I stretched -trying not to wake Meg- in order to turn it off.

However she groaned and snuggled closer to me before murmuring, "Do you have to go?" I laughed and kissed the top of her head, her eyes were still closed, "I must my love. And you need to get up for work too. It's eight o clock." Meg opened her purple eyes blearily, "I only start work at nine, give me fifteen more minutes." I sighed and nodded, "Alright, fine. But then I'm coming in to get you, alright?" She smiled lazily at me through hooded eyes and I laughed at her expression, "Love you, my Meg." She mumbled something incomprehensible but I knew what she was saying regardless.
