Burning Love

Sebastian as Hades

The Underworld was home to him. It may be cold, dark, and unfriendly to outsiders, but to him, it was comfortable and peaceful. Though, the outsiders were permanent occupants that were tortured day in and day out with no rest. Sebastian just sat upon his throne and let the hours tick on by. He had no interest in tormenting others like he used to. He just made sure to collect the souls and that everything in the Underworld ran smoothly. It was very rare when the God of the Underworld left his throne to visit the mortals on the surface. But on one of those rare occasions, his life changed for him. On that day, his dark world suddenly had a small stream of light shining down upon him, metaphorically of course. But his eyes lit up the second they laid upon the most gorgeous creature he had ever seen. A woman of nineteen stood across from him in a large field. She was slender with breathtaking white skin, big blue eyes, and short blonde hair. She hadn't taken notice to him since she was so busy exploring the wide field full of flowers. And it didn't help at all that her mother, Goddess of the harvest, kept pulling on her daughter's arm to keep her at her side. But it was more than clear that the nineteen year old wanted to wonder off and explore until her little heart was content.

Even though she wasn't allowed to leave from her mother's side, she still looked all around her with such brightness in her eyes. Like she was in awe with every little thing she saw and that made Sebastian fall in love with her all the more. He knew who she was. She was the Goddess of Spring, Seras. He had heard of her beauty, but never had the chance to meet her before. He knew that Cupid, the God of love, had visited him that day. He just hoped that he shot his arrows at that fair maiden as well. From the moment he saw her, Sebastian knew that he had to have her as a bride. He would take no other. She will be his. But there was one issue, that mother of hers. The Goddess wasn't going to let her daughter out of her sight and she most certainly won't want her daughter to marry the God of the Underworld. If he was intent on marrying Seras, he was going to need a plan. How will he draw the young Goddess away from her overbearing mother? On cue, the small blonde showed him exactly what he had to do in order to take her as a wife. Seras wondered from her mother's side just to pick some pretty white and yellow flowers by the name of narcissus. A cruel grin slipped on the God's face while his eyes lit up with an idea.

Sebastian kept a close eye on her from that day and the next. All day that damn mother of hers kept a close eye on her daughter, treating her like a damn child. Seras seemed to be fully capable of handling herself. She was strong, stood tall and proud, and held so much innocence, intelligence, and wisdom in those sapphire like eyes of hers. Finally, the God of the Underworld saw a chance to abduct the young Goddess when the mother left her daughter with some nymphs. Perfect, Sebastian thought. Nymphs couldn't leave the safety of the waters unless they wanted to commit suicide. Seras seemed somewhat content staying by the waters next to her 'friends' while her mother went off to do her job, harvesting the earth. The girls of the water and the girl of land laughed, talked, and played. The nymphs did their best to distract the young Goddess so she wouldn't wander off. They knew that if they failed in their job, her mother would do something terrible to them. But Sebastian had no pity for them. He will do anything to make sure he got his wife.

Thanks to the help from Gaia, the Goddess of the Earth, Seras' seemingly favorite flower, the white and yellow one, started to grow behind her a good way from the water. As if she could sense the flower's presence, she lifted her head and turned to watch its petals flutter gently in the wind. This particular flower was far more appealing to her than any other, especially the way the light shone on it like it was calling to her. Seeing that their friend was about to wander off as she stood up, they tried to stop her by grabbing the skirt of her white dress.

"Seras!" The nymphs called to her, but she paid no mind to them. In a trance like state, the young Goddess easily pulled herself free from their grasps and she wandered off towards that enchanting flower. "Seras!" The nymphs continued to call and cry for her, but they couldn't leave the safety of the water. The beautiful women splashed around in the water and made such a ruckus. Sebastian could only grin as his bride drew closer and closer towards her fate. When she finally reached the flower, the God of the Underworld started to approach her. He watched her carefully as she crouched down to pluck that flower from the earth so she could admire it some more, even though she sent it to its death. She smiled so brightly and hummed as she dragged her fingers gently over the pure white petals. Seras saw movement in front of her. Her smile dipped as she lifted her head to see a tall, dark haired man standing before her. Instantly, she stood up right and gasped sharply when recognizing him as the God of the Underworld. The man smirked at her haughtily before he attacked her. He sprung forward to wrap his muscled arms tightly around her. He crushed his body to hers, completely restraining her. Before she could even scream, the ground opened up beneath them and they fell into the dark pit that led straight to the Underworld. As soon as the two dropped, the ground closed back up, shutting the girl out from the rest of the world.

Seras didn't know when it happened, perhaps sometime during their fall. But the young Goddess had closed her eyes tightly and had, unknowingly, drawn closer towards the man. His fingers were buried in her hair, keeping her head pinned to his chest as if he was trying to shield her from the horrors of the world. His other arm was wrapped tightly around her lower back so their bodies were crushed against each other without an inch of space. The flower she had picked completely crumpled between their bodies. The petals fell off as she pulled free from his possessive hold. The girl was so shocked that all she could do was just stare up at him, the gorgeous smirking man, and gape at him in disbelief. The environment around them was now cold and dark, something she wasn't used to in the slightest. She was used to the Earth's warm sun beating down gently on her pale face. She was used to the feeling of the grass caressing between her toes. Or the cool water as she splashed in the river. Or picking flowers and smelling the sweet aroma as she wandered through the large field with her mother. But that was all gone now. She didn't have the sun, the water, the gentle cool breeze, the pretty flowers, her friends…her mother.

Instead of yelling at the man or hitting him for abducting her, the woman merely let her head drop while tears formed in her eyes. She stared down at her flower that was completely destroyed. But seeing it only made the tears come faster. The salt burned her eyes. It was the first time the fair maiden had ever cried. She was normally strong and Gods and Goddesses weren't meant to cry or show such human traits, but the young Goddess had always been able to relate to the mortals. She loved the way they felt, though she never understood it until now. Everything she loved had been taken away from her. She had never felt this pain before so, she cried. Sebastian didn't show disgust or disappointment, but fascination. He purred as he cupped the side of her face and used his thumb to brush those hot tears away. Afterwards, he brought his hand to his face to suck his thumb into his mouth and taste those sweet tears of hers. His tongue gingerly lapped over his flesh a couple of times before he lowered his hand once more to her face. He curled his fingers around her chin and lifted her head so she had to meet his gaze.

"Seras," Sebastian whispered her name and he brushed his wet thumb over her lips. "Goddess of spring and the Underworld," Her eyes widened when hearing those words. "My wife and queen," He then took her hand and kissed the back of it like the loving husband he would be.

"But…you've ruined everything. You took everything I love away from me. And you think that I'll settle being your wife?" Seras asked him before she pulled her hand free from his. Before she could continue to quarrel with him, he cupped her chin in his hand.

"Everything you love can be brought to you, that I swear, all but your mother." He promised her. "I can give you everything that she could not: space, equality, a chance to let you explore and grow, and a husband. Your mother was never intent on letting you be married off. If she could, she would have kept you at her side for the rest of eternity. What life is that for a young Goddess? You're like a little bird. You want to spread your wings and fly away. And like every little bird, you had to leave the nest at some point. Admit it, now knowing that you're not under your mother's watchful eye you feel free. You can finally breathe and not be barked at to sit and stay like some dog. I may have taken you, fair maiden, but I can promise you that you will be free to do as you please without having to feel anyone's wrath. You will rule beside me, not under me, and you will be loved deeply." The young Goddess drank in his words, listening ever so intently and coming to the realization that he was right. She did feel free. Even being captured, this is the first time in her life that she'd felt the most free. It was…exhilarating.

"Now, my bride," Sebastian whispered. He gingerly spun her around. He locked his arms around her stomach while he kept her back crushed to his front. They stared into the cavern. Right now, it was this big empty space with stalagmites. It was cold and dark, but not for long. Before her very eyes, a garden started to form; a garden just for her, a present from her husband. Her favorite plants started to grow with big, lively green leaves. Flowers of all colors and sizes grew, filling the air with that familiar sweet aroma that she loved. Grass grew beneath her feet, the blades tickling between her toes. Naturally, she wiggled her toes to welcome the cool grasses. Trees of all kinds formed, some were even fruit trees. She could see it now as she sat under the shade of the trees and ate the ripe fruit, falling asleep in the lush grass, picking her flowers, and tending to the rest of her beloved plants. She didn't know how it was possible, but she saw the plants gently move and writhe as if there was a wind blowing.

Closing her eyes, she was able to feel that wind as it brushed along her cheek and through her hair. A warm smile crossed over the girl's face and she laughed under her breath in amazement. Then something else happened that made her pause. Warmth spread across her face. Seras opened her eyes to see a light shining upon her, like an artificial sun, her own little sun. Tears formed in her eyes from the beauty of her garden. The cavern and stalagmites that had been before her was now completely gone. All she saw was this wide, but small world full of her lively plants; a world that she could explore and always find something new. To add onto the garden's beauty, she heard bird's chirping and butterflies gently flapping their wings to land on flowers and trees. The dead narcissus she was holding fell to the ground as she flung her hands up to cup her mouth. She could just cry at the sight before her. The God of the Underworld, the God of death, created this beauty of life for her. Sebastian leaned down a little to whisper in her ear.

"A gift, my queen." He breathed. "You are the Goddess of spring, you can add onto this garden all you like. Shape it to your liking; make it bigger, anything you wish." With that said he kissed the top of her head, unraveled his arms from around her, and moved his body from hers. Seras stared at her garden for a long time. When she was finally able to come from that shock and move, she turned around to find that he was gone, leaving her be to adjust to her new life. Her eyes wandered about in search for him for a while, but when she didn't find him she looked back at her beautiful garden.

Time went by relatively slow for Sebastian and Seras, but they were both happier than they ever been. Six days in after her capture, the two had grown far closer than they had. The young Goddess had not only forgiven the God of the Underworld for his act, but had fallen in love with him, her husband. She spent most of her time in the garden and a lot of the time Sebastian would join her. He would be content sitting under a tree and watch her pick flowers. They would share fruit together and talk. Her garden was always sunny with a perfectly comfortable temperature, so they would sit there for hours and hours. When they weren't in the garden, Sebastian would be sitting upon his throne with his queen at his side on her throne. But most of the time she would sit on his lap and just stare into each other's eyes. Finally, on the sixth day, Seras decided that it was time that they consummated their marriage.

Now, there she was. She lay on the grass in her garden with her husband on top of her. His member was already deep inside of her, but the sex was slow, passionate. He moved his hips with ease, gently penetrating her. She ran her fingers through his hair while he lovingly kissed her stomach all the way up to her throat. Their clothes were scattered about, allowing the artificial sun to shine upon their pale flesh. His hands caressed over her thighs that were parted around his hips. He loved his little Goddess dearly, but he loved her even more knowing that she loved him. Sebastian slowly rose up a little to stare into her eyes. They sparkled beautifully in the light and she smiled so warmly at him.

"Seras," He whispered her name. He leaned back down to kiss those warm, sweet lips of hers. She happily welcomed his kiss with a giggle. She cupped his face and kissed him back tenderly. He smiled at his wife. "I love you,"

"I love you too," His queen whispered.

The End (Story 1)

Burning Love

Alucard as Hades

Alucard sat upon his throne in the Underworld. His fingers drummed against the armrests while he looked about. All was so quiet. It's been like that for most of the day. Where was his wife, Seras? He pushed off the arms of the chair to stand and he strolled over to look for her. The young Goddess was most likely sitting in her garden or tending to her flowers she loved so much. It wasn't a long walk there. As he went further and further in his domain, the area got brighter. Eventually he arrived to his wife's special, little garden. At first sight it looked like she wasn't there, but the garden was big enough that she could be anywhere in there. The God of the Underworld walked across the grassy area while his eyes took in everything slowly and carefully.

"Seras?" He called out for her while he picked a pomegranate from a tree. When his wife didn't respond, he glanced down at the fruit in disgust. He hated this time of the year. Because of that overbearing mother of hers, Seras is forced to return to the surface to spend six months with her mother. Of course, Alucard could go up and visit his wife, but the Goddess of Harvest despised him and did her best to avoid him going near her and his own wife. Damn that wench! But, he decided to be alright with it because he knew that Seras would return to the Underworld to be with him. She loved him, bless her little heart. With that thought now in his head, the God smiled and continued searching for his bride.

"Seras?" He called for her as he left her garden. He wandered around for a while before he heard deep snores that practically made the ground rumble. He instantly knew the cause of those snores. As he walked around the corner, he found his giant three headed dog, Cerberus, lying on his back fast asleep. One of the dog's heads had its tongue sticking out while his tail wagged lightly back and forth. Not much to Alucard's surprise, Seras was fast asleep on that great beast's stomach. Cerberus moaned with joy and rolled around gently on his back without disturbing his master's queen. That dog of his absolutely loved the young Goddess, especially since she did her best to give him the best belly rubs that were just about impossible since he was so damn big. Proving that it was such a hard job to do, the young Goddess was fast asleep on top of the monster. Alucard shook his head at his wife with a deep chuckle.

"Seras," He whispered her name as he approached Cerberus. He leaned against the dog's body and reached out to gently shake his wife's shoulder. "Seras," The small blonde stirred and shifted her head to find her husband standing there. She smiled tiredly at him.

"Alucard," She groaned.

"Come on," Her husband chuckled and he scooped her up into his arms with ease. He helped her down off of the three headed dog and set her down on her own two feet.

"Cerberus," Seras laughed with a bright smile and she gave the dog a loving pat. The dog moaned while one of the heads leaned in to give her an affectionate lick, but only got her all wet from his tongue. The young Goddess only laughed at his affection and gave him one last belly rub. "See you later, boy." Alucard took her hand and led her away from the giant 'puppy' before she could fall back asleep on top of him.

"It's nearly time for your departure." Her husband reminded her causing the smile to disappear from her face. Instinctively, she glanced down to see that he already had the pomegranate.

"I don't want to go." She muttered. Alucard absolutely hated to see such a sadness in her eyes, but they knew what would happen if she didn't go.

"Seras, you must." Her husband sighed regrettably. "Without you, the nights will grow colder for the mortals and there will be no food for them. They will die from your mother's wrath. You need to return to the Earth so the mortals can live on." He stopped and forced her to turn so she faced him. He cupped her face in his hands and gave her a tender look, even though he felt the way she did. He didn't want her to go either. "The months will go by fast. You'll be back in my arms before you know it."

"Will you visit me?" She asked in a whisper with a small smile that he couldn't say no to. "We can meet at night like last time. Spend some time in the grassy field under the moon light." She said seductively as she wrapped her arms around his lower back to crush her chest against his. Alucard snickered at that thought while his thumbs lovingly brushed over her cheeks.

"As you wish, my queen." Her husband purred and then he leaned down to place a tender kiss on her sweet lips. Afterwards, she pulled out of their kiss with such a bright smile.

"Now we just have to figure out what we're going to do with the kids. I don't want to leave either of them; I can't bear the thought of even staying a night away from them." She took her husband's hand and led him into the nursery nearby where there two healthy twins, Melinoe and Zagreus, slept peacefully in their cribs. She stood between the cribs and stared down at her sleeping Goddess and God.

"Take one of them with you, and when I come to visit you I'll bring the other. Maybe we can switch every month." Alucard suggested as he wrapped his arms possessively around his wife. He rested his chin on her shoulder to stare down at his children.

"No offense, husband, but will you be okay to take care of one of them?" She asked him carefully while she bit down on her thumbnail anxiously.

"Of course," Alucard chuckled and he kissed the crook of her neck. "If I do have trouble, that'll only be another reason to visit you." He purred. Seras smiled at his way of thinking. She cupped his hands that were around her stomach and she laughed lightly.

"I'll take Melinoe with me, but you promise me that you and Zagreus will come up and visit us." She whispered.

"As you wish," He purred again in her ear and then placed another kiss in the crook of her neck. "Now," He moved his hand out from under hers to raise the pomegranate to her face. "Consume the seeds and promise to return to me, my queen." Seras didn't argue. With that smile still plastered to her face, his wife cupped his hand and raised the fruit closer to her mouth so she could take a bite out of it.
