The first person Yui was to spend time with was with Tsukito. He had planned to spend their hour making food. So the two set off to the kitchen and began to prepare a meal for just the two of them. No one was allowed to disturb them, which created an anxious feeling in Apollon's heart. Yui felt bad about worrying him, but there was nothing she could do when it was a direct order from Zeus. He'd just have to be strong.
"Yui, do you really love Apollon?" Tsukito asked out of the blue while they were making rice cakes.
"W-Why do you suddenly ask that?" Yui replied with a crimson blush evidently on her face. Whenever she heard the blonde Greek God's name, her heart would start racing uncontrollably.
"I'm curious to know. You didn't accept to be with him out of pity, did you?"
"N-NO! I would never do that! I-I really like Apollon!" There Yui had said it and it was embarrassing. She had no other choice but to blurt out her true feelings to Tsukito rather than him thinking she was with Apollon out of pity. Tsukito looked at Yui's blushing yet serious face and sighed.
"I guess I'll have to give up. Apollon is a great friend and so are you, so please be happy together."
"Tsukito…"
"But be careful around everyone else. They may not let you go so easily."
"Yes. Thanks for the advice," Yui said with a smile. She was grateful for Tsukito being so understanding. It made the task at hand easier and made her feel less nervous about the rest of the day. She'd just have to get passed each hour with all the others before she could finally be with Apollon. You can do this Yui! Stay strong and overcome! She thought.

The next hour was reserved for Hades who decided to spend the hour eating strawberry rice cakes. Yui felt at ease and very relaxed with the Greek God. She also enjoyed seeing Hades' face whenever he came across his favorite food.
"These are really good," Hades said, "I can never get tired of them."
"I agree," Yui replied. Hades looked at her.
"So, is this relationship between you and my nephew serious?"
Yui almost choked on her rice cake. "Y-Yes! It is a serious relationship. I really like Apollon."
"Hmm…That's unfortunate…But the smile on his face is worth the misfortune," Hades said with a smile. "I'm sorry my brother is putting you through all of this."
"No, it's okay. If it's to help everyone then I'm happy to do it."
"Apollon must know how lucky he is then. Congratulations."
Yui was grateful for his kind words towards her relationship with Apollon. So far everything was going well. It was just a few more hours until she could finally be alone with the one she had fallen in love with.

Next Yui spent some time with Takeru who decided they could take a walk alongside the beach. He would have preferred a good run, but he knew Yui wouldn't be able to keep up in her outfit. The day was beautiful and nothing was more refreshing to him then being near a body of water. Looking over at Yui, Takeru couldn't help but blush a little. She did look cute in that outfit.
"It's a really nice day, isn't it?" Yui asked unaware to Takeru's slightly red face. He looked away from her and kept walking.
"Yeah, it is."
"Do you usually take long walks on the beach Takeru?"
"No, I'd rather run, but…I thought this would be a better way to spend time with you weed."
"Really? Thank you, it really is relaxing." Yui saw the tint of red on Takeru's face. He was trying to avoid eye contact.
"Hey Weed, what is it about Apollon that you like?"
"Takeru…?"
He looked at her. "I'm trying to figure out how he won. Is it his personality? His looks? Don't tell me it's his body or something perverted."
Yui blushed, "No! It's nothing like that! I…I like Apollon for who he is. I don't know how to really explain it, but I guess that's how love is. It just happens."
"It just happens, huh…? Yeah, I can relate. Listen weed, as long as your happy then I'll be okay with it. But…If there's ever a chance that I can steal you away, I will."
Yui was a little taken aback from Takeru's direct confession. She always had the feeling Takeru warmed up to her, but she never imagined he would feel the same way Apollon does. It was a comforting feeling knowing that he cared about her. The test Zeus made up probably wasn't so bad after all.

"So Thor, what would you like to do?" Yui asked the stoic Greek God who was sitting across from her in the lounge. Thor seemed pensive before he opened his mouth to respond.
"I don't have anything specific in mind. I just thought I'd stare at you for the whole hour." Yui blushed and quickly looked away. Who stares at someone for an entire hour? She wondered but immediately brushed it off and mustered up a smile.
"Won't you get bored? I thought we could do something fun. Maybe play a game or walk around the school."
"Or we could sit here and talk about your feelings for Apollon. I was asked to get some information about it."
"Eh?"
"For starters, do you know what it means to become the companion of a Greek God?"
"N-No, I don't."
"What about having a Greek God's child? Have you thought of that?"
"EH?! Umm, Thor, Apollon and I aren't thinking about…!"
"A Greek God is a powerful being. Apollon may want more kids then you can handle."
"EH?!" Yui was growing more and more embarrassed with the conversation. How in the world did it turn out like this?

"Let's cut to the chase kitty-cat, for the next hour you will do whatever I say," Loki said with a mischievous grin on his face. Yui didn't like the look on his face, but she knew that she'd have to comply with whatever Loki thought of. The two were alone in Loki's room. It made Yui feel unbelievably nervous. She never knew what to expect from the red-haired guy in front of her. He was a big trickster and didn't seem to like her that much.
"Do you want some candy kitty-cat? I have plenty," Loki said as he handed Yui a lollipop. She hesitantly grabbed it.
"Thank you Loki."
Loki didn't respond as he started to chew away at the candy in his mouth. Yui wasn't sure what to say next. She wanted to make the next hour count. As if noticing her worry, Loki grinned and lifted up Yui's chin with his finger.
"Are you that nervous to be alone with me in my room? You really do clean up nicely in that outfit of yours."
Again Yui felt self-conscious with her appearance. Back home she wouldn't get that many looks from guys and when she did she would only glare at them. Something about Loki's gaze made her feel nervous. She knew he was judging her, but was it good or bad?
"I can see why Balder is so obsessed with you. It's not every day we get to see a human girl in such a cute outfit. Say kitty-cat, why don't we get to know each other better? I'm sure Apollon won't mind," Loki said with a grin.
Yui felt her face turn red. She moved away from his touch and quickly put the lollipop in her mouth. My heart wasn't made to feel this nervous! Loki kept his gaze on her flustered face. He was indeed enjoying the view, but he knew he wouldn't be able to get far with just an hour. Slowly but surely he'd find a way to snatch her away from Apollon.

"Drink up!" Dionysus said as he handed Yui a glass of red wine. She took it from his hand and hesitated to take a sip. She never drank wine before, so she didn't know how she would react to it. Dionysus noticed her uneasiness and smiled. "Don't worry; you don't need to drink another glass after that. More wine for me!"
"Thank you Dionysus," Yui replied as she took a small sip of her wine. Hmm, this isn't that bad. Taking another sip of the wine, Yui started to like the taste and before she knew it the entire glass was empty. She looked up at Dionysus.
"Would you like some more? We have an hour."
"Sure."
Dionysus poured some more wine into Yui's glass as she gladly continued to drink. It didn't take long until Yui was feeling the effects of the wine. She felt a little loopy and Dionysus was intrigued with her euphoric state.
"You make the best wine Dionysus! We should do this more often!" Yui exclaimed in a cheerful voice.
"Sure, I wouldn't mind. But, I don't know if Apollon would approve."
"He will! He will! We can all drink wine together!"
"Say Yui, are feeling okay? I'm not exactly sure how humans work so I want to make sure I didn't do anything Apollon would get angry about."
"Psh! No! I'm just really happy! My heart is happy just like it was happy when Apollon told me his feelings!"
"I see. That's great to hear. Tell me all about your love for my brother Apollon," Dionysus said while urging her on. He wanted to hear for himself how she felt about Apollon and of course use what she said to embarrass him from time to time. "Would you like more wine?"
"Yes please!"

After taking an hour to sobering up, Yui was now sitting at a table covered with plates of different types of meat. Balder enjoyed eating meat, even more so when he was eating with people he liked. Yui was grateful for Balder's hard work on preparing the meal. She was in fact famished from the long day with the Gods. Saying her thanks, Yui picked up her utensils and started eating away at the delicious food. Balder did the same, enjoying Yui's company and his favorite food.
"How is it?" he asked.
"It's delicious!" Yui replied.
"I'm glad. I was looking forward to our time together." Balder reached his hand out to touch Yui's cheek. A blush slowly started to appear on her face.
"Umm, Balder…?"
"Can't you tell Apollon to move on so you can come to me?" Balder asked as he kept his hand on her cheek. The pleading look in his eyes wasn't something Yui wanted to see. She didn't like to make people sad.
"Balder…You're a very great friend and I really do care about you. But…my heart belongs to Apollon. I'm sorry."
"But it can change. You can stop feeling that way towards him and look at me instead. It'll happen sooner or later. I promise you it will."
The look in Balder's eyes was completely serious. He wasn't going to give up on Yui. It felt like no matter what Yui said he wouldn't listen. So she decided to stay silent. Somehow Balder would come to realize that her heart was already taken. Moving his hand away from Yui, Balder went back to eating his food. Yui did the same. The atmosphere had turned awkward, but at the same time it was filled with uncertainty.

At last it was time for Yui to spend the next hour with Apollon. He had been waiting all day in his room, which wasn't like Apollon since he usually loved going on adventures and doing different things. Yui knocked on his door and waited for him to answer. Her heart was already beating fast and she knew why. The anticipation and excitement were getting the better of her, but she had to maintain her composure.
To her relief, Apollon had opened the door and before she could say anything, he threw his arms around her and embraced her tight. She didn't realize how much she loved being held in his arms. Apollon let go of her and looked directly into her eyes.
"Fairy, finally you're all mine." Apollon grabbed Yui's hand and led her into his room. She was taken by surprise once she saw the bouquet of flowers sitting on his bed. "I picked them out a few hours ago. Do you like them?"
"They're beautiful Apollon!" Yui nearly screamed out.
"I thought you'd be tired from spending the whole day with everyone, so I want you to relax."
"Huh? But wouldn't you want to do something?"
"I want you to relax. Seeing you happy is enough for me, Fairy," Apollon said with his bright smile. Yui didn't know what to say, but she knew she felt happy. Leaning forward, Yui gently placed a light kiss on Apollon's cheek before she leaned away and smiled.
"Thank you Apollon."
"Fairy…!" Apollon embraced her yet again. "I really do love you…Don't ever leave my side."
"Apollon…"
Apollon leaned back before he moved in to kiss Yui. It was something Yui was starting to grow accustomed to. It was something she would look forward to. It was weird. Back at home her friends were the ones who had the boyfriends, but here it was her, and hers was a Greek God. Thinking back, Yui started to remember the conversation she had with Thor. It made her lean away from Apollon and look away embarrassed.
"Fairy? What's wrong? I'm sorry! Did you not want me to kiss you?"
Yui looked back at him and shook her head. "No! I just remembered something that embarrassed me."
"Can I know what it is?"
"It's too embarrassing…"
"Is it something one of the others said? Wait, now that I think about it, what did you do with everyone?! Did Balder try something?! Did Loki try something?! Please tell me what embarrassed you Fairy!"
"It was a conversation I had with Thor about…Well what it meant to be with a Greek God and…If I knew what I'm getting myself into…And, umm…kids…"
"Kids? Do you want to have some already Fairy?"
"NO! He just brought it up! I'm still only a high school student back home!"
"Hmm, I don't know what that means, but like I told you before I'll take things slow. So Fairy, what should we do for the next hour? I'm letting you decide."
Yui wasn't exactly sure how she wanted to spend the next hour either. She was just happy that she was finally able to be with him. Maybe that's what she wanted more than anything at the moment, to be by his side.
"Umm Apollon, could we maybe…cuddle?"
"I like the sound of that," Apollon replied as he took Yui's hand and led her to his bed. They both climbed on. Yui grabbed the bouquet of roses while Apollon gently embraced her. "Fairy, you look even more beautiful with this dress on."
"Is that so?"
"Yeah, don't let anyone else see you in it again, okay?"
Yui smiled as she took in the warmth of Apollon's body beside hers. "Okay."

Still thanks for waiting and thanks for reading! :D If you have any suggestions for the next chapter let me know, I'll really appreciate it since I'm kind of lacking some ideas.
