***Hey everybody! Disclaimer: I do not own or have any affiliates with the talented and beautiful Rachel Smythe or Lore Olympus. I'm just a girl, a mortal, in love with Lore Olympus just as much as you. I made this for fun after a fb comment I made saying something about how I needed Ep. 112 to be a "fanfic" lol! xD so shoutout to the peeps who encouraged me, I mean this isn't my first rodeo but this is my first that I publicly share and real people other than bots read them, so thanks you! :) Hope you like it.***
Restlessness, I turned for the millionth time rolling over in the sheets of infinity. I stared up at the empty ceiling. The quiet, eerie, sound of death creeped over me. I had grown
accustomed to it by now, the humming of the souls as they sat at the beach, the dim glow of the lights as they faded to darkness after everyone clocked out of their shift.
Emptiness is what I am, it consumes my every move. For every moment of my life so far, it felt peaceful to me. I sighed, and sat up reaching for my glasses on the drawers on
my right. Out of the corner of my eye, Cerberus snores peacefully, with one ear propped up. "Must be nice", I murmur jealously. I checked my phone, 3:14am.
Persephone's words echoed through my mind, "You're a king! Why would you care what I think!?". If I told anyone this, they'd think me crazy. Honestly, I'm starting to believe I
am going crazy. What if I had made that all up? Had it been my own selfish desires to have her so close to me I pictured her in my mind. But the touch of her, the glow and soft
light as her powers enveloped me into a warmth I could not have imagined I would ever feel in my entire existence. That I know I could not have made up. My fingers twitched
with the urge to call her, beg her, anything, I just needed to see her. I decided to burn the anxiety with a jog, the cool breeze would feel nice. In the darkness I felt around for
my favorite Underworld Con' 96 hoodie. Cerberus peeped up at me as I touched the doorknob, "I'll be back" I told him. His ears dropped and he sat still in his bed. "Just going
for a run. Can't sleep". And with that I lepped from my balcony and headed straight towards the sidewalk.
My feet landed with a "thud", and I burst into a sprint. I had ran probably for 10 seconds when I felt it. Thump-thump, my feet skid to a stop. I felt the calling of the Goddess of
Spring from Olympus. My eyes widened in surprise, shock, no-way she probably just dropped something on the floor. Who would want to be with me? Why would she want to be
with me? "Maybe I did it wrong?" her soft voice cooed. A pang of sadness twisted its way into my heart. I didn't let another second bother me further, and with that I closed my
eyes and thought of only one thing: Persephone. The next moment I opened them I was standing in a pink room, full of books with the most beautiful Goddess standing up from
the floor. She called me, she actually called me. Dumbfounded, I had to give her an answer, "No. You got it. It takes a few seconds." I smirked.
She turned quickly towards me, her hands curled up to her chest, hesitant as well. She looked like she was trying to suppress a laugh, "I thought the ground would open up and
you'd emerge in a pume of black smoke." I watched as the flowers in her hair turned from green to my shade of blue. A calming shade I've observed quietly when she's around
me. I raised my hands, "In the event you summon me again, I'll make sure to use more showmanship". She didn't laugh, she instead kept her eyes glued to the floor, so I
continued, "Are you ok? I haven't seen you since…" I didn't know how to finish, "Yeah…" and with that I couldn't help but touch her, feel her, to be part of anything that was her I
caressed her chin and my hand fell above her shoulders.
"Yeah." , She agreed, "This is probably not what you had in mind when you told me I could summon you for help." My heart lept out of my chest, if I could give it to her to make
her feel better, anything- I would. "And I can't sleep. I know I made a big deal out of setting boundaries.", she crossed her arms in defeat, "I feel like an idiot." I realized she
was floating above the floor, at my height, I barely had to lean over a little so our foreheads could touch. "Just to sleep. You don't have to…" she nervously added.
"Yes." I told her, A thousand times yes, I wanted to add. But she leapt forward and wrapped her arms around my shoulders. "I'm sorry to hear that you're not doing well."
I carried her soft warm body back to her bed and tucked her in, "Let me know if you want me to leave, ok?"
Her big eyes stared up at me, "Ok." I leaned in and bent my knees to curl up in her full size bed.
I turned to her, "Can we talk about the kiss?" I was surprised at how honest I was, how easy it was to open up around her.
"Ye-yeah." She said.
"Did you not like it?"
"The kiss?"
"Yeah."
"I loved the kiss." She said nonchalantly. As a matter of fact.
I stared at her waiting to continue, clearly missing the most obvious, what's bothered me for 2 and a half days now. I was ready to talk to her, I was ready to hell her, "Then why
did you leave? What happened?"
"I guess I really enjoyed the kiss…" She fumbled with her hands, "And I got excited…" She turned her body away from me but I could see her blushing.
"…Oooooh." I felt the gears in my head click.
"My body reacted in a way I didn't expect. I'm sorry for leaving you", She shyly smiled, "And sorry for being weird."
I felt the urge to comfort her, to show her, "You're not that weird." And I summoned a dark butterfly, "See?" I smiled at her.
I felt her smile, and with her hand she lifted it to caress a side of the wing, it felt good. And with a small twirl, 2 little butterflies blossomed from within her and we watched them fly away out the window into the night sky.
"I'm really glad you're here."
