Day 5 – Queen of the Garden

I had some trouble coming up with ideas for this prompt, so I went with a bit of a classic some Greek mythology inspired story. I hope you enjoy ~Love, Dia

Hades and Persephone inspired AU, OOC

They were in the middle of a trial, Sasuke was sitting on the throne and Hinata was on his lap, both of them looking over the poor unfortunate soul that had to plead his case, however before they could open their mouth to try and convince Sasuke why they should be sent to the good place, an awful alarm went off. Sasuke sighed and kissed the back of Hinata's neck but she made no move to get up from his lap.

"Ignore the insupportable noise, it will stop in a bit. Go on and plead your case" Hinata told the soul, but once again they were cut off by Sasuke holding his hand up, gesturing that they should keep quiet.

"Ignore? What do you mean Hinata? That alarm indicates that spring has to come and you must return to the world above." He was running his hand over the white and silky skin of her upper thigh. Hinata didn't answer immediately but rather sighed and let her head fall back onto his shoulder.

"Must I really? Can't I just stay here this year, I'm sure they won't miss me at all up there" the trial was fully forgotten now, so much so that Sasuke made a set of signs teleporting himself and Hinata in the privacy of their room.

"You know how much I'd love that, but they need you there, you are the queen of the gardens after all, without you spring and summer do not exist. Nature would be dead" He hated that she had to leave him for half a year just as much as she did, but they made a deal with her family and that could not be broken. If it could have, he would have broken it aeons ago.

Hinata turned around in his lap so she was facing him. "what's a little longer winter" she murmured and leaned in to kiss him. "what's a little chaos in the world" the mere fact that she was considering allowing humanity to suffer for her selfish reasons was proof of how many centuries had passed since they met. She was sweet and innocent at the time, putting humanity above all else; but being present at the trials, seeing just how wicked and selfish human beings are slowly jaded her. Hinata placed her hands on the nape of his neck and slowly moved them upwards, entangling them in his hair "what's a bit of human suffering when I get to be with you" her kiss was more aggressive, but Sasuke wasn't one to argue, thus matching her forcefulness.

"We can't break the deal Hinata, you know that. If we do, they'll make it so that you will no longer be able to enter my kingdom" she hated how reasonable he was in times like this, she knew he was right but she honestly just did not want to leave. What could they do if she never ever returned?

"Who cares if I can't enter, I'll just never leave and that won't be an issue" she stood on her knees, her chest being perfectly in front of him. Reaching under her dress Sasuke ran his hands up her tights, up her waist taking her dress off with the same move. Her reasoning made sense, but was it really worth the possibility of them not being able to be together anymore? "I'll just stay here with you forever" Hinata whispered into his ear, trying her best to convince him that her idea was the best one.

Was it worth it? Sasuke kept weighing the situation even as he was touching every part of her body, his mind was fully working even as he kissed up her neck, even as she ripped his clothes off of him. "Stop thinking, come back to me fully" Hinata insisted as she placed both of her hands on his tights. His eyes focused on her and the image he had in front of him, she was naked and stunning and laying barely inches away from him, that distance in itself was too much, he couldn't even imagine sending her to the above world, how had he managed aeons of spending only half his time with her? "you're right" he finally answered. "Stay" his voice was much lower when he said that word, it felt like an order, like a plead, like a wish.

For the following days, the King of the Underworld and the Queen of the Gardens ignored all of their duties, choosing to simply spend their time alone in their bed. The trials with the King only started again weeks after. The above world was still chaos-free, they simply treated it as a longer winter, Hinata had stopped being punctual many centuries ago, always dreading leaving the world. Chaos only started when it was March and it snowed still, when it was April and the lake waters were still frozen.

"THE GARDEN QUEEN DIED!" "THE GARDEN QUEEN ABANDONED US!" "CURSE THE UNDERWOLD KING"

Freezing temperatures in June led to the beginning of the chaos, people were chanting on the streets about Hinata, about Sasuke. All the crops died, people were starving and dying from the cold. Hinata's family tried to bring back spring and summer but they had relied on Hinata since the beginning of the world and were unable to do it on their own. They tried to reach her but were unable to step foot into the underworld without being severely hurt. Hinata's ability to thrive in Sasuke's kingdom was proof of the superiority of her powers.

Sasuke and Hinata once again were alone in their house, Sasuke was reading a book as Hinata had her head in his lap, he was running his fingers through her hair. Hinata was a few seconds away from falling asleep when she said 'if I had known it would be this easy and with almost no consequences on us, I would have stayed here exclusively from the beginning."

Under normal circumstances, Sasuke would be opposed to the break of a contract, but he couldn't help but agree, the 4 extra months she had stayed behind had been some of the best and he couldn't wait for all of the billion months to come of them being together. He bent down and kissed her softly on the lips in her sleep. "You were right, you are always right" he murmured as their lips were still touching.

"I know, I always am" she replied, her eyes still closed but she had one hand on the back of his neck and pulled him down for a longer and deeper kiss.
