I don't own class of the titans.
The heroes followed Hermes in the secret wing of the school. Hermes was flying and sometime, he looked the heroes behind him. Just by a look, he could tell they were all afraid and worry.
''I'm sure I'll have a bad sleep.'' Archie said, his arms crossed.
''Sure, with Ares. That's going to be bad.'' Herry said.
''10 bucks he'll make him sleep on the floor with a cold blanket.'' Neil said.
''I'm in.'' Theresa said back. Hermes giggled and looked at them.
''Come on. Ares is not a monster.'' By the look on the 5 heroes' face, Hermes understood he couldn't change their point of view. He flew to a door and he opened it. ''Heracles. Message from Hera: mentors must pass the night with their students. They are afraid to have what Atlanta has.''
''Seriously? Herry, I think we'll need to have a big talk.'' Herry sighed and came in the room. Hermes closed the door behind Herry. They went to the other doors, Persephone and Aphrodite were agreeing to Hera's order. In final, Archie and Odie were left. Hermes opened Ares' door for his room.
''Ares. Message from Hera: mentors must pass the night with their students. They are afraid to have what Atlanta has.''
''Ah! Let him come in.'' Archie gulped. He saluted Odie and came in. He closed the door behind him. Ares was in front of him, the arms crossed. ''So, you're afraid, right?''
''Yes, I am. Do you saw what happen to Atlanta? It's maybe contagious.'' Archie tried to stay neutral while he was talking with Ares. After all, he didn't want to lose his calm in front of the god of war.
''Ha! You're a warrior. A warrior don't...''
''Don't start that shit with me again!'' Archie screamed. This time, his anger broke to his control. ''My girlfriend is in coma! My leader almost dies by Cronus! And what my mentor find to say to calm me is his usual a warrior do it or do that! Worst day ever!''
Archie's breath began to be faster as he hyperventilates. He fell on his knees, a hand on his heart and Ares ran to him. He went to his knee and placed his hand on Archie's shoulder.
''Archie! What happen? Are you...'' Ares understand Archie was panicking. He caressed his back, hoping to calm his student. Archie slowly calm as he felt the hand on his back. ''Cold down, you scared me. You're okay?''
''I think. Since when you're afraid?'' Ares sighed and hugged him. Archie yelped in surprise.
''I was afraid to lost you by my fault. Can a god be afraid sometime?'' Archie couldn't answer, he was too surprise. His eyes slowly close, the emotions he had today drained all his energy. He fell asleep in Ares' arms, feeling safe. ''Archie? Are you still with me?''
Ares slowly broke the hug to find Archie sleeping on him. Ares smiled as he took Archie in his arms to place him on a bed in the other side of the room. Ares didn't want to admit it, but Archie was like a son for him, a son he wanted to protect in all cost. He lay him on the bed and placed a blanket on him.
''There.'' Ares thought twice and placed a second blanket. He was afraid than Archie went cold. In his surprise, Archie pushed away the second blanket. ''Archie? Are you awake?''
No answer. He was still asleep. Ares tested it and replaced the blanket. Archie groaned and pushed it back away. Ares smiled, founded funny to see what a mortal can do when his asleep.
''Have a good night, warrior.''
The next morning, Archie was confused as he woke up. It took him some second to remember he slept in Ares' room. He was pretty surprise to find out he was on a bed with a blanket on and a second pulled at his feet. He sat and spotted Ares sat on a chair at his desk, writing.
''Good morning Archie. Good sleep?'' Ares asked, not looking at him. Archie stretched as he yawned.
''Surprising, yes. Er Ares? Why I have a blanket at my feet?'' Archie asked as he rubbed the top of his head. Ares looked him.
''I tried to place it on you but you pushed it away. Also, as I think about that: what do you mean surprising?''
''I mean I thought you were to make me sleep on the floor, you know, like a Spartan.'' Ares shake his head as he rolled his eyes. ''In fact, I know why I pushed back the blanket. I'm hot enough with one on. Damn, is it wool?''
''Ah, that's why you pulled it off. Er, not really, is more like flannel.'' Archie's eyes widener.
''Damn it! No wonders why I feel so hot right now.'' Ares had a little laugh at his student's face.
''You know, I maybe sound mean most of the time, but I'm not a monster. By Zeus' love, if I let you sleep on the floor, you'll catch a cold.'' Archie laughed, shaking his head.
''Ares, immunity. I won't be sick.'' Ares slapped his forehead, remember his student can't be sick. ''Just like that, what time is it?''
''6 am. I thought you didn't wake up early. ''
''6! Damn! No, usually it Atlan-'' Archie's heart hurt him as he remember what happen yesterday. Ares notice the sadness in Archie's eyes and went to sit next to him.
''You're worry about her, right?''He asked as he placed a hand on his shoulder. Archie nodded, fought his tears. Ares sighed as he took off his hand. ''If you want to cry, go ahead. I won't tell stuff about warrior, I promise.''
Archie let his tears fell and he trembled. He was crying hard, letting his worry and sadness left him by his tears. Ares let him cry, turned his head away. Archie looked Ares, hoping his mentor could comfort him, but he saw he was looking away. Archie tapped his shoulder, hoping he could look at him. Ares turned to him and Archie almost threw himself in his arms, his own arms around the god's neck.
''Whoa! Archie! What are you doing?'' Archie continuous to cry and Ares understood he wanted to be hugged, so he hugged his student as he sighed. ''Next time, tell me if you want to be hugged.''
''So-sorry. I... I will next time.'' Archie broke the hug after some minutes, feeling calmer and whipped off the tears. Ares smirked.
''You know, to change your mind, you can always go wake up your friends.'' Archie smirked too, knowing Ares was trying to play the mean side.
''Yeah, nice idea.'' He got off the bed and went outside.
