Life, death, and then some

by Goddess-of-daydreams

I was a child when I first saw him. Naive and young and carefree- I was alone when I first met her. Alone and dead. She brought me to life. (Rated T because I'm paranoid)

7. Stars, moons, and mind games

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

-Cosmic love, Florence and the machine

Hades POV

You and I. You and I. You and I.

He wrote it over and over, tasting the words. It was such a strange sensation, he had always been alone; even in his fathers stomach was he an outsider. Quiet, darker. He always looked different. Dark raven hair, cosmic blue eyes, pale skin. He actually understood responsibility, he had never been in love. Now with Persephone here, he wondered if this was what love was. He didn't even need to ask himself this; he knew it was. As he fell asleep the words swirled around his dreams.

You and I. You and I. You and I.

Persephone's POV

Persephone's dreams were not nearly as kind. As she tossed and turned she was haunted by sirens, three headed dogs, and a certain pair of cosmic blue eyes. In the middle of one of her nightmares she woke up, and found herself thinking unendingly of hades. She didn't understand it, she said, but really she did. She was falling for him, but she told herself she couldn't. "It's one of his mind games. He's trying to make you feel like this." She picked up the rose and held it to her chest as she breathed in, letting herself think. She opened the window of her room and sat over the edge, enjoying the wind and the dangerous feeling that bled through her veins.
