"He hates me."
"No, he doesn't."
"I'm telling you, he can't stand me."
"Don't be ridiculous."
"Then why does he always look like he wants to disembowel me?"
"He looks like that all the time."
Hades shifted his gaze from Zelena to the large ball of black fur perched on the edge of the couch next to him. Narrowed brown eyes mirrored his own distasteful glare.
"I doubt that," he muttered.
"He acts like that with Regina and Cora," Zelena pointed out.
"There's a valid reason for that. What have I done to the fuzzball?"
Said fuzzball, who was actually named Walsh, uttered a meow that almost sounded offended.
"It's probably because of Cerberus," Zelena suggested.
"Oh, we're bringing my dog into this?"
"I'm just saying, he can probably smell Cerberus on you."
"So I smell like a dog." Hades fought to maintain a stoic expression, trying not to grin.
Zelena rolled her eyes. "That's not what I'm saying and you know it."
"I just think it's strange that my pet adores you, and yours wants to claw my eyes out."
"I'd prefer it if Cerberus didn't love me so much," she countered.
"Cat lovers," he muttered. "I'll never understand."
"There's nothing enjoyable about being covered in animal drool; it's that simple," she said airily.
"It's a way of showing affection," Hades said, defending all creatures canine.
"Yes, and you know what cats do to show affection? They purr. They don't cause a disgusting mess."
"Can we stop and demonstrate our ways of showing affection?" Hades asked, causing Zelena to raise an eyebrow and smack him with the nearest throw pillow.
"Aww, do you not want my strange, dog-loving self?" he teased, wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her down on the couch with him.
"That depends, do you want my odd, cat-loving self?" she retorted goodnaturedly, absent-mindedly tracing circles above his heart.
"Oh, always," he murmured, pressing a kiss to the base of her throat. She laughed, and slowly, deliberately pressed her lips to his, smiling against his mouth as the arm around her held tighter.
The feline sitting on the couch next to them gave the two a decidedly disgusted look, jumped down from the couch and padded away.
