Hey everyone! :D It's been a while since I last updated (reasons: school, lack of ideas, lack of wanting to write, etc) But! Here is the next chapter to this story! I decided to make it a pretty fluffy chapter since I had nothing better in mind so please enjoy :P

Being held by Apollon made Yui feel something she never thought she would ever feel. After a long day of spending her time with each of the Gods, Yui was thankful for finally being able to be alone with Apollon. She couldn't seem to take her eyes off of the bouquet of red roses she was given. If someone would have told her back home that she'd get roses from a guy, she would have laughed it off. Love really does come without warning.
"Hey Fairy, can I ask you a question?" Apollon asked, taking Yui away from her thoughts.
"Sure, what is it?"
"What's it like where you live? It must be nice."
"It is. I grew up in a traditional shrine with my parents so I stood out a little from everyone else, even my friends. I'm also really close to graduating high school, so that worried me a little."
"High school? What happens after you graduate?"
"I have to find a suitable college to go to. There, I pick out what I want to do with my life. That will determine my future. In a way, I'm sort of glad I came here, just so I could have some time away from those worries."
Apollon held Yui closer, feeling the need to comfort her and take away the sad look on her face. "Do you think you're future will change with me by your side?"
"Apollon…Do you think we'll be able to stay together after all of this?" It was something else that Yui found herself constantly thinking about. What would happen once the Gods fulfilled their goal and were sent on their separate ways? Would Yui still remember them or would her memory be erased?
"I'll find a way for us to never be pulled apart. I'll become a permanent human if I have to."
"What are you saying?! Your father would never allow you to do that!"
"I'd be happy to make that sacrifice. What good is it being a God if I can't be with the girl I love? We can go to school together, have fun together, then get married and start a family. It would be a happy life, don't you think?"
Yui blushed at the thought of life playing out like Apollon imagined it. In her heart, it would be like a fairytale come true. She wouldn't have to keep worrying about what the future would hold, she wouldn't be afraid to take the next step in life, because right by her side she would have Apollon. Was that selfish of her? She couldn't possibly allow Apollon to stop being a God on her behalf. Zeus wouldn't want his beloved son to lower himself to the status of a human. Loving a human was one thing – but being one was another.
"Apollon…I wouldn't want you to give up who you are just for me. I actually like it that you're a God. The whole point of you being here is to learn what love means and how to make your bond with humans stronger. If you were to become a human, it would defeat the whole purpose of being here."
"But Fairy, that's the only way I can think of that would let us be together. I'd also be able to take you with me and live with me among the Gods, but I don't think you would want that."
He had a point and Yui knew that. She would feel very out of place if she were to go with Apollon to his homeland. She'd also come to miss her life back in Japan, her parents and her friends. It was becoming complicated figuring out what they would do after they were allowed to leave. Apollon gently placed his hand over Yui's, warmth she was thankful of feeling.
"I'll talk with my father. Maybe he'll have a better idea of what we can do."
"Do you think he would be willing to help us?"
"Of course. He didn't mind my relationship with Cassandra in the past. He was just worried that it wouldn't work…"
"I'm not going anywhere Apollon so please don't look sad," Yui said as she turned to look at him. She preferred seeing his smiling face. The smile that would brighten up her day and literally shine like the sun.
"Thank you Fairy," Apollon replied with a smile. "So do you want to get my father's advice on it first thing in the morning?"
"I don't see why not, it's worth a try."
"Great! Now that we've agreed on that, let's do something interesting."
"Like what?"
"Like this…" Apollon slowly leaned in and kissed Yui. He loved her more then he could express in words. He wanted Yui to know how much he cared about her and how he would do anything to make her happy. He leaned away and broke the kiss to look at Yui's blushing face. It was cute seeing her look so embarrassed.
"Should we continue Fairy?" he asked.
Yui averted her gaze but nodded her head in approval. Apollon loved how close they had gotten and one day they would be even closer. But for now, he was content with being able to hold her, talk with her, be by her side and kiss her without anyone around. Leaning down again, Apollon pressed his lips gently against hers. Was it wrong to want to give up everything just to be with the person one loved?
Apollon was willing to do it with Cassandra and it didn't end up well. He only hoped that things would be different with Yui.
